This night ended with an awkward conversation with the system. The moment the sunlight shone through the window, Zhang Weifang felt like he was alive again.

She reached out and caught the beam of light, bright and warm.

On the way to work today, Zhang Weifang dozed off again. Xiao Hu was by her side, shielding her from sleep and even helping her with her work.

Zhang Weifang's heart was filled with endless gratitude towards her, but he was too busy with trivial matters recently to take care of anything else.

After everything is settled, she will carefully select a generous gift for Xiao Hu to express her gratitude.

This gift not only represents Zhang Weifang's deep gratitude and respect, but also contains the warmth and strength brought by the sincere friendship between the two.

That night, after Hu Zi fell asleep, Zhang Weifang quietly climbed over the wall and came to the next room. Lu Shi heard the noise and walked out of the house with a stick.

"Hey, it's me, don't do anything." Zhang Weifang quickly shouted softly.

Lu Shi retracted the stick and turned back into the house. Zhang Weifang gritted his teeth and followed him into the house.

This was the first time Zhang Weifang had entered a strange man's room since she was a child. However, she didn't care about being nervous now. She just wanted to figure out what happened last night.

Lu Shi lit a cigarette as soon as he entered the room. The smoky room made Zhang Weifang very uncomfortable. She couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes and got a headache after smelling it.

"Cough cough cough," Zhang Weifang was choked and coughed continuously, tears welled up in his eyes. Finally, Zhang Weifang had no choice but to leave the room.

Zhang Weifang was sure that Lu Shi had smoked a lot of cigarettes, otherwise the room would not be so choking.

Seeing Zhang Weifang walk out, Lu Shi whispered:

"trouble!"

Zhang Weifang waited outside for a long time, but Lu Shi still didn't come out. She was not familiar with him and felt embarrassed to trouble him, but when she thought about the important things she hadn't said, she had no choice but to go in again.

"Comrade, please come out for a moment. I'm allergic to the smell of smoke."

Lu Shi put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and followed Zhang Weifang out.

The yard was not a good place to talk, so Lu Shi took her to the next room. The room was empty, with no bed, no cabinet, and not even a stool.

The two stood face to face. Zhang Weifang took two steps back before explaining his purpose:

"Comrade, thank you for what happened last night. Can I know the follow-up?"

"Oh, of course I found a place to bury the body." There was impatience in the gangster's tone.

"What? That man is dead?!" Zhang Weifang was so scared that she could hardly stand. She slowly squatted down, looking dazed, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her like this, Lu Shi cursed in his heart:

"Nothing."

"Don't worry, the man is not dead. I sent him to the nearest hospital." Lu Shi told the truth.

"Ah? You lied to me just now?" Zhang Weifang's eyes were full of disbelief, and tears flowed down.

Her nerves had been tense all day, fearing that the man had died, and Lu Shi actually lied to her, which made her heart collapse instantly.

Zhang Weifang covered her face and cried for a while before she recovered. She slowly stood up, looked at Lu Shi with her red eyes, and said solemnly:

"Thanks!"

In reality, Zhang Weifang's heart was filled with endless struggles and contradictions. She hated those who harbored malicious intentions and behaved improperly, but at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to take someone's life.

This inner conflict often puts Zhang Weifang in a painful situation.

She has a clear and firm moral code in her heart and hates villains who destroy social order and harm innocent people.

However, when faced with the actual situation, she found that she lacked the courage and determination to take decisive action.

She couldn't face the anxiety and fear that killing brought to her heart.

Lu Shi stared at her for a long time. Only now did he realize that women were a strange kind of creature. Sometimes they were very brave, and sometimes they were as timid as mice.

In the past, what Lu Shi hated most was this kind of soft-hearted, dull and clumsy woman.

After all, since they had already started fighting, why should they be afraid of causing death? In his opinion, these women had neither courage nor wisdom, and it was really difficult for him to have a good impression of them.

However, now, perhaps it was his experience in prison that made him more tolerant and understanding of others. When facing such a woman, he felt a trace of pity and sympathy in his heart.

No matter what, it is a skill for a woman who is alone with a child to know how to resist when encountering bad people.

Moreover, he discovered that Zhang Weifang had a quality that he envied - a broad mind. She had just been crying uncontrollably because of killing someone, but now she had recovered and was more resilient than any other woman he had ever met.

In fact, Lu Shi is not a kind and soft-hearted person, but he can hear the children next door chattering and laughing every day, which deeply affects his heart.

Lu Shi was also raised by his grandmother alone, but he and his grandmother had always lived a hard life. So when he heard Hu Zi's laughter, he seemed to see his childhood self.

In order to let Hu Zi have a complete and happy childhood, Lu Shicai softened his heart for a moment and helped Zhang Weifang deal with the follow-up matters.

What he said about repaying someone was just a casual remark and he didn't take it to heart.

"That man is almost dead and is still in a coma. I don't know how you offended them, but you will probably have trouble in the future." Lu Shi kindly reminded.

"I understand. I'm thinking of a way." After crying, Zhang Weifang's emotions were released and her thoughts became clearer.

"I'm so grateful for your kindness. Just let me know if you have any problems in the future. I'm going back now. Goodbye." Zhang Weifang said and walked out of the room.

After taking two steps, she stopped again, turned her head and asked:

"Comrade, I don't even know your name."

"Lu Shi, Shi means time." Lu Shi's voice came softly in the darkness.

Zhang Weifang heard an indescribable meaning in his voice, as if this name had some significance.

"My name is Zhang Weifang, goodbye!"

Watching Zhang Weifang climbing the ladder skillfully, Lu Shi forgot for a moment that there was no ladder in his house.

By the time he reacted, Zhang Weifang had already returned to his yard with the ladder.

What happened that night was so unexpected that Lu Shi had never thought of it. When he mentioned his name, Lu Shi felt endless longing in his heart.

Before he was twelve years old, he was the little master of the family. He had no worries about food and drink and went to school with his mother every day.

His mother was a woman as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moon, and with a gentle personality. Her name was Shi Anan.

His elegant and dignified father was called Lu Qingfeng.

This loving couple was so overjoyed when the fruit of their love was born that they decided to incorporate their endless love into the child's name - "Lu Shi".
