It was almost noon when Chen Ran woke up. The fracture was reset in time and fixed on the periphery of the chest. At this time, his life was out of danger, and he only needed to rest in bed to heal himself.

Sitting by the bed, Qian Erbai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Ran woke up, and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

Chen Ran opened his mouth but couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head slightly. He looked at Qian Erbai, with a hint of admiration in his eyes that he didn't realize.

Qian Erbai still took a cotton swab dipped in water and tapped some on his mouth. The bruises and abrasions on his face have also been treated, and the ointment bruises and bloodstains mixed together look particularly miserable.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, I'll call the doctor for an injection to relieve the pain?" Qian Erbai saw that his face was pale, and took a towel to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead. Now the effect of the anesthetic is wearing off, and the wound will only become more and more painful.

Chen Ran shook his head again, and said silently, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the teacher."

Qian Erbai frowned and sighed deeply. Having been subjected to violent treatment for many years obviously caused serious psychological trauma to Chen Ran, which made his first reaction after waking up not to check his own physical condition, but to worry about whether he caused trouble to others.

Seeing the trembling look of the child, Qian Erbai became more and more resentful, and couldn't help regretting that he stopped Chen Hu at that time.

Someone knocked on the door. It was the police who stayed in the hospital waiting for Chen Ran to wake up and collect the victim's testimony.

Qian Erbai asked Chen Ran: "I have already reported this matter to the police today. Your father has been taken away because of serious domestic violence, but you still need to make your own decision on how to characterize this matter. I will not Interfering with your choice, but if you want to leave your current family environment, I will do my best to help you."

Chen Ran looked at Qian Erbai, nodded slowly for a while, and said, "Thank you teacher, I will punish him."

Qian Erbai patted his head, and said, "The police will come to you later Inquire about the situation, just tell the truth, and leave the rest to me."

"Thank you." Chen Ran lowered his eyes, staring at the strap on his chest in a daze. Qian Erbai got up to open the door for the police. Chen Ran suddenly asked, "Is my injury serious?" Feeling the pain, she looked back at him and said, "Don't worry, the doctor said it was a minor injury."

"A minor injury..." Chen Ran murmured, finally showing a gleam of joy on her face, but she quickly returned to the hospital. Received by him.

Qian Erbai opened the door, and two policemen walked in, one questioned and the other recorded.

Facing the police, Chen Ran once again put on the usual cowardice and anxiety when facing strangers. When recalling the scene at that time, he even trembled and almost lost his voice several times. Qian Erbai could only hold it by the side. His hand silently encouraged him. When he was really speechless, Qian Erbai ended the interrogation, and then sent the two policemen out.

When Chen Ran was in the operating room, the police had already come to investigate and collect evidence. At that time, Qian Erbai didn't know Chen Ran's wishes, so he didn't hand over the video evidence to the other party. Now that Chen Ran's determination was confirmed, He no longer had any scruples, took out Chen Ran's cell phone, and handed it to the police.

Seeing the video, the female policeman was emotional. She scolded "beast" fiercely, with tears in her eyes. We will definitely deal with this matter seriously."

Chen Hu walked over anxiously, rubbing his hands, hesitating to speak.

Qian Erbai glanced at him and said, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

Chen Hu lowered his head, and said: "I know, I shouldn't hit people. But I really can't understand such scum, what kind of man is bullying a child!"

Qian Erbai looked at him, without speaking, Chen Hu Being stared at made him feel more guilty, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he closed his mouth.

Qian Erbai saw Chen Hu drooping his head, full of frustration, quite like Lu Liuliu after the house was demolished, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "You should not have left wounds on him, making him a Victim, you have also implicated yourself in it."

Chen Hu blinked, feeling that there was something wrong with the boss's words, but the sense of justice in his heart made him feel that he had done nothing wrong, he said: "I don't care, as long as it can The scumbag will be punished immediately, I..."

Qian Erbai looked at him helplessly, and said: "You failed this assessment, wait for the make-up exam."

Chen Hu was a little unconvinced, he wanted to argue for himself, but Qian Erbai Bai had already opened the door of the ward, and was about to go in, he curled his lips and said in his heart: "The make-up exam will be the make-up exam, and I will beat him again!"

Qian Erbai raised his hand and threw a handful as if he suddenly thought of it. The key, said: "By the way, Lu Liuliu will be your partner in the future. It is waiting for you in the office. This is the key. You should cultivate your relationship in advance."

Chen Hu hurriedly caught the key, dumbfounded.

Chen Jingfeng has been committing violence and verbal abuse against Chen Ran for many years, causing great physical injury and mental loss to Chen Ran. There are sufficient certified physical evidence and a minor injury appraisal issued by a forensic doctor. His behavior has constituted the crime of intentional injury , can be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.

Knowing that Chen Ran actually did an injury appraisal and handed over the video of that night to the police, Chen Jingfeng hated in his heart, but at this moment his future and destiny were at stake, so he immediately acted as if he was heartbroken and repented at the beginning, crying and confessing his repentance with tears , I hope to see my son and apologize to him face to face.

Before getting in touch with Chen Ran's mother, Qian Erbai took on the role of temporary guardian. He went to see Chen Jingfeng instead of Chen Ran and rejected his request.

Chen Jingfeng looked at Qian Erbai's vicious eyes, he squinted his eyes, and said: "Mr. Lu, I didn't offend you, why do you insist on making things difficult for me?"

Qian Erbai looked at the man who had no regrets in front of him, his expression Coldly, he said: "It is the duty of every citizen to abide by the law, and it is the duty of a teacher to protect students. I can't ignore public or private matters."

Chen Jingfeng gritted his teeth, calmed down in a blink of an eye, smiled, and said: "Chen Ran is young and ignorant, he hears that the wind is the rain, he is just confused for a while, and complains to me. When he thinks it over, he will know how sad his life would be without his father. Teacher Lu is an adult Now, you probably don't know how having a father who has committed a criminal case will affect his future?"

Qian Erbai shook his head, completely disappointed in Chen Jingfeng, he stood up, coldly Authentic: "We will apply for a victim protection order and disqualify you as a guardian. Although your imprisonment will become a stain on Chen Ran's life history, I hope that he will go to the court as soon as possible rather than living in the shadows all his life." Under the sun." After a

pause, Qian Erbai said again: "As far as I know, you were also a victim of domestic violence when you were a child. It was not until your father died unexpectedly that you completely escaped from that environment. I'm sorry, I really can't understand. What kind of mood do you have to reproduce your nightmare on your son? Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, let alone your own blood relatives." A

flash of panic flashed across Chen Jingfeng's face, but he was caught by him Quickly covering it up, he forced himself to calm down, showing a mocking smile: "A strict teacher produces a good student, and a filial son is born under the stick. I am very grateful to my father for his education."

Looking at his reckless appearance, Qian Er Bai didn't want to waste any more time, so he left the sentence "I'm done talking here, Mr. Chen, please do it yourself", turned and left.

Chen Jingfeng's eyes flickered, feeling uneasy.

Two days later, Qian Erbai received another call, this time Chen Jingfeng's attitude was quite sincere.

He first made a self-analysis, saying that he fully realized his mistakes, and this time he sincerely repented, and then brought up the abuse he suffered from his father when he was a child, in an attempt to gain sympathy, and return his domestic violence to the behavior of his father in childhood In the end, I hope that Chen Ran and Qian Erbai can give him another chance. He will write a letter of guarantee and abide by the protection order, and he will never approach Chen Ran again. I just hope that Chen Ran can forgive his father's impulsiveness.

He pretended to be very similar, and he really put himself in the position of the former victim in his heart. Even the policewoman who watched the video and scolded him as a "beast" couldn't help being moved. Looking at Qian Erbai He wanted to say something nice for him, but Qian Erbai knew that Chen Jingfeng had no real remorse at all in his heart. Under his mask of crying bitterly, there was still that cold, selfish and disapproving face.

Qian Erbai was not surprised by this. A person who did something bad and suddenly shouted to repent because he was about to face punishment, then what he regretted was definitely not doing this thing, but not being able to achieve a perfect crime.

He interrupted Chen Jingfeng's performance and said: "When people do something wrong, they have to pay the corresponding price. Just admitting your mistakes and apologizing can't offset your crimes. If you don't get forgiven so quickly, those who have been hurt because of you It's so unfair to the person who is here." The

female policeman couldn't bear it, she felt that Qian Erbai was too indifferent, and when she sent him out, she persuaded him earnestly: "Be forgiving and forgiving, besides, the child is still young, so he can't live without a father."

Qian Erbai glanced at her, wondering who she was speaking from, he said: "I just believe in the fairness of the law, and I didn't embarrass anyone. And compared to a nightmarish father role, I think my temporary ward should hope for a safe and healthy life." The

policewoman added: "Now he knows he made a mistake, and he probably won't do it again in the future."

Qian Erbai stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at her steadfastly, and said: "The mistakes that have already been made can be regarded as non-existent because they are illusory? You represent the party of justice, and you can have My own thoughts, but please remain neutral in your attitude." The

policewoman looked at Qian Erbai's leaving figure, her face burning hot.

She also has children, if this happened to her children, she would never say the word forgive. She didn't know how she was able to speak for Chen Jingfeng just now, and now she couldn't help regretting and being embarrassed.

Qian Erbai was a little puzzled. Two days ago, Chen Jingfeng was arrogantly threatening him with Chen Ran's future, but why did he suddenly change his face? He couldn't think of any other possibility except that he had a ghost in his heart. So he asked Lu Liuliu to investigate Chen Jingfeng's past.

Chen Jingfeng, who was unable to plan at the other end, came up with another plan. He applied for a psychiatric appraisal. He insisted that he was unconscious when beating Chen Ran, and he could not be convicted for his unconscious behavior.

This statement is naturally untenable. Whether it is the video or his previous confession, it is contrary to what he called "unconsciousness". However, the police still took him for a psychiatric evaluation. Of course, the result is that he does not have any mental illness. , some anxiety at most, mild mania, but this is not enough to excuse him from the crime.

Chen Ran's classmates knew that he was injured and hospitalized, but they didn't know why he was injured. His head teacher knew a thing or two, but chose to keep it a secret. The head teacher brought some classmates to visit him, and sent him the test papers that he had failed these days. The squad leader also brought his review notes and notes, wishing him a speedy recovery.

In fact, Zhang Ming came two days ago, but he just stood outside the door and refused to come in. After this group of people left, he finally opened the door slowly and saw Qian Erbai in the room , and a little overwhelmed, it seems that the door will be closed and left in the next second.

Chen Ran stopped him, then looked at Qian Erbai pleadingly, Qian Erbai is like an old father now, looking at the two children, sighed, pushed Zhang Ming in, and went out by himself.

Zhang Ming looked at Chen Ran, whose face was still bruised, and didn't know what to say. When he saw Director Lu who was accompanying him on the bed, he vaguely guessed how Chen Ran's injury came from, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. He felt that the incident between the two of them annoyed Mr. Chen, so he was violent towards Chen Ran. He should bear part of the responsibility for Chen Ran's injury.

Chen Ran didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he pointed to the stool next to him and motioned for him to sit down. .

Zhang Ming walked over and sat down. Looking at it from a close distance, the injury on Chen Ran's face was even more shocking. He felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but carefully reached out to touch the bruises under his eyes, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chen Ran was a little Surprised, but also a little happy, he nodded and said, "It hurts."

Zhang Ming didn't know what to do, and looked at him helplessly, his eyes were full of distress. ?"

Chen Ran stared closely at Zhang Ming's eyes for a long time, making Zhang Ming uneasy, wondering if he had said something wrong, and then he asked, "Zhang Ming, do you like me?"

Zhang Ming was stunned, with an indescribable expression on his face, which seemed to be entangled and panicked. His lips moved, as if to deny, but his eyes moved involuntarily.

Chen Ran couldn't wait for his answer, so he didn't want to press the question, so he smiled and wanted to say "I'm joking, don't take it seriously", but saw that Zhang Ming finally made up his mind and nodded.

"You..." Chen Ran suspected that he had read it wrong, and he was even more afraid that this time he was being self-indulgent again.

Zhang Ming licked his lips, mustered up the courage to hold Chen Ran's hand, his face turned red all of a sudden, his heart beat fast and anxious, like a handful of beans sprinkled on a drum, bang bang rattle.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chen Ran, and said seriously: "Chen Ran, I like you."

Chen Ran's hand was held by Zhang Ming, and he couldn't recover for a long time, only feeling that his body had never been so light However, the sound of the heartbeat has never been so pleasant, and the young man in front of him seems to be different from the past, as if he suddenly disappeared. Involuntarily, he laughed, even though the wound was not healed and involved the stabbing pain.

Qian Erbai looked at the two teenagers who were holding hands and looking at each other, and couldn't help interrupting the warmth. Zhang Ming turned around with a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he didn't let go of his holding hands. . He called out: "Director Lu..."

Chen Ran looked at Qian Erbai without speaking, but just laughed. The days of melancholy seemed to have been swept away.

Qian Erbai said helplessly: "You should keep a low profile in school. It's okay to fall in love, but you can't delay your studies." The

two looked at each other, then nodded in unison.

It was time for Zhang Ming to go back to school, and Chen Ran looked at him reluctantly, until he said that he would come back tomorrow, then looked away.

Qian Erbai sent Zhang Ming downstairs, at the elevator entrance, he looked at Zhang Ming, and asked, "Have you thought about this matter?"

Zhang Ming nodded solemnly, and said, "I'm serious. Our academic performance is similar, and we will apply to the same university during the college entrance examination. During the university, I will start learning to start a business and strive for early financial independence. We will support each other and be responsible for each other's future." After a

pause, he continued: "I Knowing that our sexual orientation is difficult to be accepted by our parents, but our life and relationship are our own business, I will not give up easily because they disagree, I will try to get their understanding, if there is no way, it can only be far away Leave as soon as possible, and try to be filial to them."

Qian Erbai patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything, and sent him to the elevator.

Because Qian Erbai was in bed with him in the hospital, Xia Changdian hadn't seen his brother for four whole days. The video between the two of them ended this day, and Xia Changdian said unhappily: "Have you found the child's mother yet? Brother, you have been taking him with you like this." It's not a problem."

Qian Erbai smiled and said, "I said I would help him, so I can't give up halfway. I apologize to you for neglecting you these days, and I will make it up to you in the future

Xia Changdian pursed his lips, seeing that the dark shadows in his brother's eyes were about to catch up with him, a programmer who was rushing to work every day, and said distressedly: "Okay, let's go to bed quickly, stay in bed every night, and stay in bed during the day. " Going to school and going to work must be very hard. If you are so obsessed with the bed, you probably haven't slept well these days. How about I accompany you in bed tomorrow?"

Qian Erbai smiled and said: "No, Chen Ran will be discharged from the hospital soon Now, I can go home and sleep."

Xia Changdian asked: "After being discharged from the hospital, where does he live? Live with you?!" He couldn't help raising his voice. With one of his brother's students, will they still have a chance to get close?

Qian Erbai hurriedly lowered his voice, said a nice word, and sent ten kisses over the phone to appease Xia Changdian. After hanging up the phone, Qian Erbai opened the door and walked into the ward. Seeing Chen Ran lying flat with his eyes closed, breathing calmly, he seemed to have fallen asleep. He walked over to help him tuck the corner of the quilt, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. , and then lay down on the accompanying bed next to her.

Chen Ran exhaled softly, turned to look at Director Lu next to him, feeling a little guilty in his heart,
