"So you are here."
Luo Shixi had just hung up the phone when a person stood in front of him, casting a dark shadow that enveloped him.
Luo Shixi hummed softly and hugged himself tighter.
He Yu squatted down, looked at Luo Shixi who was curled up in the corner, and asked him softly: "Why are you sitting on the ground? You will catch a cold."
Luo Shixi said nothing.
Seeing this, He Yu sat down next to him.
Luo Shixi raised his head and glanced at He Yu.
He Yu looked at him, and with the help of the dim green light of the emergency exit, he could see that there was no sign of crying on Luo Shixi's face.
Instead of feeling relieved, he became even more aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Crying is a means of venting emotions. Now that Luo Shixi has encountered such a big thing, it is not a good thing to hold back and not let it out.
Luo Shixi looked at He Yu who was sitting down with his eyes level with him, and said softly, "I'm going to bring the things over and send them to Mr. Wang later."
He Yu shook his head and didn't ask what Luo Shixi was talking about. "That's not what I came here to say. Why don't you go back to the dormitory?"
"Everyone is asleep." Luo Shixi leaned his head against the cold, hard wall behind him, staring into the darkness in a daze.
He was very grateful that He Yu did not turn on the lights in the corridor, allowing him to hide completely in the darkness.
He Yu said: "If you go back to the dormitory, at least someone will give you a glass of warm water." They will definitely comfort you and tell you not to be sad.
Instead of sitting in a cold and dark corner for three hours like now.
Luo Shixi shook his head, unable to see his expression at the moment, "It will cause trouble for the brothers. Everyone is already very tired from training."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at He Yu's silhouette in the dark, and forced a smile, "I seem to have caused you trouble as well."
He Yu didn't like Luo Shixi saying this.
"Luo Shixi, listen to me." He Yu used the little light to straighten Luo Shixi's shoulders and made him look at him.
"If I don't have a solution for the problem, then I don't deserve to be your boss."
Maybe he drank too much water before going to bed, or someone got up at night and turned on the lights when passing by the corridor.
Luo Shixi unexpectedly fell into a pair of peach blossom eyes.
At this moment, the pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly due to the stimulation of the light, but still looked at him firmly and seriously.
He Yu pursed his lips and stared at Luo Shixi.
The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
It was so close that He Yu could finally see clearly the small mole at the corner of Luo Shixi's eye.
There was silence all around.
Luo Shixi forgot what he was going to say for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled, "I..."
He should have said that he was just a small trainee who had not yet made his debut, and there was no point in He Yu flying all the way from Sanya to here overnight.
He should say that he didn't do those things and that their family is not what outsiders think.
He should have said that the ground was actually really cold and he felt numb all over.
He should have said a lot, but suddenly he was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know where to start. He just looked at He Yu's eyes, confused.
The phone made a "ding dong" sound, which was the WeChat notification tone.
Luo Shixi took a look and saw that Wang Le had sent him what he wanted.
His things were at home, so of course he couldn't get them now. Fortunately, he had left a backup with Wang Le.
Luo Shixi licked his dry lips and said, "The stuff has been sent over. I'll pass it on to Mr. Wang."
He Yu: "Is it related to that incident?"
Luo Shixi nodded.
"Okay, let's go back and take a look."
He Yu stood up, and at the same time the lights came back on, he reached out to Luo Shixi, "Let's go. If you don't want to disturb your roommates, let's go to my room."
Luo Shixi looked at the bony hand in front of him, pursed his lips, reached out to hold it, and then was pulled up by He Yu.
Because he had been sitting on the ground for too long and his blood circulation was blocked, he fell forward as soon as he stood up.
He Yu hugged him hurriedly in his arms.
After Luo Shixi stood up straight, he let go of his hand and half-hugged him to prevent him from falling again.
"Where's the wheelchair?" He Yu asked.
Luo Shixi said: "On the stairs."
He Yu felt distressed and amused: "How did you get down here?"
Luo Shixi lowered his head, too embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, He Yu patted his head and said, "Okay, let's go get it."
When I arrived at the director's room, I didn't expect that everyone was still there, even Wang Hanwen.
Wang Hanwen had already received the information sent by Luo Shixi and looked at him with complicated eyes.
When the director saw He Yu coming in, he called him, "He Yu."
He Yu did not respond, but pushed Luo Shixi and nodded to Wang Hanwen, "Let's go."
When passing by the previous staff member, the other party still had a look of disdain on his face, but this time he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of He Yu, and just muttered something in a low voice.
"There are all kinds of people, disgusting."
He Yu paused, turned back slowly, and let go of the wheelchair handle.
"He, He, Instructor." The staff member looked at He Yu who was walking towards him step by step, and his heart tightened for no reason, and he started to kowtow.
He Yu looked at him indifferently, took out his hands from his pockets, pressed them on the table, and looked down at the man, which gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly," He Yu said without a smile on his face, "Say it again."
Under He Yu's powerful aura, the man shrank back little by little until his back hit the seat of the chair. "I... didn't say anything, hahahaha, I didn't say anything."
He Yu: "I said I didn't hear clearly, so I asked you to say it again. Don't you understand?"
He Yu was angry.
Everyone present was aware of this problem.
“I, I…”
Looking at the speechless man, He Yu sneered, "I didn't know that your recruitment conditions were so loose that you want anyone."
He said this to the director.
The director was already nervous enough because of his attitude just now, and now this happened. He was really afraid that this old man He Yu would terminate the contract on the spot and leave.
If He Yu is really upset, all the friendship is bullshit.
The director looked at the speechless man and asked sternly, "Xiao Wu, what did you just say?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Wu had no choice but to repeat what he had just said hesitantly.
After saying that, everyone's faces turned unhappy.
He Yu's face darkened completely, and he repeated word by word, "Disgusting?"
"No, no, no, I'm not, I didn't...I, I..."
Xiao Wu waved his hands and subconsciously tried to step back, and the chair made a squeaking sound as it scraped across the floor.
Everyone felt that what he said was indeed a bit too much, and even if they said it in front of the person involved, Xiao Wu was indeed in the wrong.
The director knew that He Yu was extremely protective of his people, so he patted He Yu on the shoulder and told him to calm down.
"Let him apologize to Xiaoxi, and don't be angry for now."
He Yu lowered his head and looked at Luo Shixi in the wheelchair.
At this moment, Luo Shixi was looking up at him obediently.
He Yu frowned and was about to speak when an employee who didn't have a good relationship with Xiao Wu whispered, "He just said Luo Shixi was a murderer."
"Shut up!"
The director just shouted anxiously, and the next second he saw He Yu grab Xiao Wu's collar and pull him over from across the desk.
He Yu's arm strength was really strong. Before anyone could react, he had already grabbed Xiao Wu's collar and lifted him in front of him. Xiao Wu was almost lifted off the ground by him and was dragged to the other side.
He Yu gritted his teeth, anger in his eyes, "What qualifications do you have to judge something you don't even know about?"
"You have already accused me of a crime that the court has not yet ruled on. Do you think you are more authoritative than the court?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Xiao Wu say that about Luo Shixi.
These three words are so destructive when spoken.
If you casually point fingers at someone, it will ruin their life!
Even the usually kind director changed his expression, "Wu Qigang! What are you talking about!"
When Wu Qi was just being pulled up by He Yu, his knee hit the corner of the table, and his face was distorted in pain. At this time, He Yu grabbed his collar again, and his face turned red because he couldn't breathe.
The assistant director looked at this one, then at that one, with a smile on his face, and said, "Oh, isn't it that everyone still doesn't know the truth of the matter? Teacher He, don't be angry, calm down. Xiaoxi, don't be too sad, be happy, be happy, hahahaha."
After saying this, he kept looking at Luo Shixi and Wang Hanwen for help.
Seeing so many people in the room, Luo Shixi didn't want He Yu to quarrel with others because of him, and ended up with a quarrel that couldn't be resolved.
So Luo Shixi pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Brother He, don't be angry. Let's go first. I still have something to show you."
He Yu's sleeve was pulled and he looked down.
Luo Shixi was clutching the corner of his sleeve, looking at him worriedly, and then after seeing Wu Qigang's face, his worry turned into disgust.
He Yu didn't know why, but most of his anger suddenly dissipated.
He let go of Wu Qigang's right hand, ignoring Wu Qigang who was coughing desperately, and turned to the director and said, "Your people, you come and teach them." Then he pushed Luo Shixi's wheelchair and said, "Let's go."
The director responded, "Yes, yes, I'll teach you."
Wang Hanwen followed them and was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked around at everyone in the program crew, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Qigang, who was bending over and coughing. The professional smile on the corners of his mouth became cold.
"I won't comment without knowing the full story," he said, looking at Wu Qigang, his tone neither hurried nor slow. "I guess Mr. Wu will be very free recently. If you have the time, you might as well learn how to speak."
Wu Qigang watched Wang Hanwen walk away, still wondering in his heart why he said he was free. Just as he was thinking, he heard the director's voice.
"Lao Wang, take him to collect this month's salary."
Wu Qigang's eyes widened. Are they going to fire him?
"Director! Why did you fire me just because I said something wrong? Everyone knows about Luo Shixi's story. I just said what everyone wanted to say!"
The director looked at him, "What did everyone want to say? Did everyone say it?"
Wu Qigang: “No, no.”
Seeing that he still didn't understand, the director didn't want to say more. He waved his hand and asked the assistant director to take him to collect his salary and told him not to come tomorrow.
"Oh, by the way, the guy who just added fuel to the fire doesn't need to come again."
The director looked at the rest of the production crew and said, "The mouth can cause trouble. I hope you all understand this. Besides, things in the entertainment industry are mixed up. Who knows what's true? It's fine to think about it behind my back, but you dare to say it in front of me today. How arrogant will you be next time?"
Their program team cannot bear this responsibility.
Arrived at the dormitory door.
Watching He Yu looking for the key to open the door, Wang Hanwen said, "I thought you would just punch him in the face."
He Yu paused and looked back at him, "What image do you have of me?"
Wang Hanwen: "Probably not a very good image."
“哦,那真是劳烦你刚才替我担心了,”贺逾“咔哒”一声打开门,让他们进去,“我猜,你肯定已经准备好在我揍人前拉住我了。”
"No, you're wrong," Wang Hanwen shook his head, "I was planning to clean up after you beat someone up."
He Yu glanced at him and snorted, "Then you really are a modern male Bodhisattva."
Wang Hanwen knew that he was still angry and was too lazy to argue with him.
Luo Shixi listened to the two of them talking, and the gloomy mood in his heart dissipated a little.
He looked at He Yu's back and said, "Brother He wouldn't do that, would he?"
"It's hard to say," He Yu denied it himself, "Now when I think about that kid's face, I really regret not giving him a few punches."
Luo Shixi smiled and said, "Actually... I can't blame him entirely. I know that everyone on the Internet has this view of me now."
"Don't be sad." He Yu comforted him.
Seeing that both of them were about to start chatting, Wang Hanwen quickly got down to business.
"I took a rough look at the information you sent me. Why didn't you send it out before?"
Wang Hanwen pieced the evidence together and found out the truth of what happened back then.
In order to avoid industrial risks, Luo's father invested, but the investment went wrong and the existing funds could not be circulated. At this critical moment, food safety issues arose and someone was poisoned and sent to the hospital. At that time, the board of directors unanimously put pressure on him, making him busy and overwhelmed.
It turned out that it was all a conspiracy, and even the doctors in the hospital were bribed. Luo's father couldn't stand the successive blows and committed suicide by jumping off the building. Only Luo Shixi and his mother were left to pay off the debt, and they lost all the family's money. Later, Luo Shixi almost dropped out of school, and it was the old law professor who helped him and let him take a leave of absence from high school for a period of time.
Luo Shixi looked at Wang Hanwen. Maybe it was because of the light shining into his eyes, but there seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes.
"It's useless," Luo Shixi said softly, "Our family has no money and no power. Even if the results of the case are really announced, it will be suppressed online and won't cause any waves. In the minds of those people, we will still be ruthless and heartless. My father's death will still be considered as suicide out of fear of punishment by the outside world."
He looked up at the two of them. "Not only do I want justice, I want justice that will be known to the world." He tilted his head and looked at his own lanky figure in the glass. "Does it sound silly?"
He Yu finished reading the information in silence. When he heard Luo Shixi say this, he looked at him seriously and said, "Not stupid at all."
He said: "Since you want justice known to the world, let's take this opportunity to make the truth known."
Luo Shixi held the glass that He Yu handed to him, and gently stroked the wall of the glass with his fingers, "I'll give you the things, and the rest...Brother He, Mr. Wang, I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it." Wang Hanwen made an OK gesture to him.
The three of them discussed in detail how to do it, and Wang Hanwen went out to start preparing.
Only Luo Shixi and He Yu were left in the room.
Luo Shixi bit her lower lip and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
He Yu looked at his face and pursed his lips. "If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh. I don't remember that my studio has a clause that forces people to laugh."
The corners of Luo Shixi's mouth drooped, and he really didn't have the energy to smile.
Looking at the neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Luo Shixi sighed softly, "It's so beautiful outside."
From He Yu's room, you can see the most luxurious night view in the entire S city.
Even at three o'clock in the morning, the traffic was still as heavy as during the day.
He Yu saw Luo Shixi's face at this moment through the glass window.
Luo Shixi has just become an adult this year. He has been at a carefree age since he was 18.
But he encountered a dramatic change in his family and fell from the clouds to the quagmire.
But I can still keep my original intention. I have seen the dirtiest side of the world, but I am not affected and I don't lose my passion for life.
This is the most rare thing.
Luo Shixi tilted his head, retracted his gaze from the window, looked at He Yu behind him, and said with a smile: "In fact, I have long accepted the fact that my family is bankrupt. In the past four years, it was also hard at the beginning. I followed my mother to ask people for help and borrow money, but there were many people who added icing on the cake, but no one helped in times of need. I still remember that there was an uncle who had been trying to curry favor with my family. When we went to find him, we couldn't even get in the door."
Perhaps because he recalled a lot of bad memories, Luo Shixi lowered his head and looked at his hands in a daze.
He Yu sat quietly beside him and listened to him talk.
"My mom is very beautiful. You can tell from me, Brother He. I'm not bragging. I'm pretty," he said, smiling at He Yu. "My mom is even prettier. My dad loves her so much that he doesn't even want her to do housework. When I was a kid, I liked it most when my mom went to parent-teacher conferences because everyone would praise her for her beauty. I felt very proud."
"But later on, my mother had to take care of the housework, take care of me, and work several jobs, and slowly she became weaker. She was often sick and her cough would never go away. A few months before she passed away, she was so thin that only a bag of bones was left. I still remember her face now." Luo Shixi gently stroked the glass, his voice choked up for a moment, and he turned to look at He Yu.
"You know what? I still remember seeing the intact skull under the skin on her face."
He Yu hesitated for a second, hugged him for the first time, and patted his back, "Okay, don't think about it, don't talk about it."
"I want to say," Luo Shixi did not resist. Perhaps he also wanted some support. He quietly placed his chin on He Yu's shoulder. "How can a person be so thin? There is no meat at all... no meat at all..."
Like a skeleton covered with human skin.
He Yu listened to Luo Shixi speaking softly as he confided his past to him bit by bit. His language was incoherent and his logic was chaotic. Sometimes he was still talking about his part-time job in the previous second, and jumped to his childhood in the next second.
He Yu listened quietly and patted Luo Shixi gently with his hand.
He knew that what Luo Shixi needed at this moment was someone to talk to and someone to listen.
As Luo Shixi spoke, he could no longer hold back his tears and started crying.
He was crying quietly until He Yu felt the wetness on his shoulder. Later, Luo Shixi gradually lost control of his emotions, hugged He Yu, and cried out loud.
The boy who had always been strong enough not to cry out loud and disturb others, cried out loud for the first time without any care, like a lost child, wandering at a crowded intersection.
He couldn't find his way home, and no one was willing to help him.
Until a warm, dry hand gently grasped the back of his head and held him in his arms.
"Xiaoxi, stop crying."
Luo Shixi seemed to have grabbed the last straw and hugged the person tightly, and tighter.
I don't know how much time passed.
He Yu sighed as he looked at Luo Shixi, who was tired of crying and sleeping in his arms.
There were still traces of water on Luo Shixi's face, his eye sockets were red and swollen, tears had stuck his eyelashes into clumps with teardrops hanging at the ends, his nose was red, and he looked very pitiful.
He couldn't go back to the dormitory, so he might as well just stay here overnight.
He Yu carried the sleeping Luo Shixi to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then took a piece of paper and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Luo Shixi didn't feel good crying. His body was still shaking slightly, his brows were furrowed, and sobs were coming out of his throat.
The night is silent.
He Yu sat on the ground, leaning against the bed.
He glanced at Luo Shixi, who was curled up on the bed, and sighed softly.
"Don't cry anymore..."
Finally, I don't know when, I fell asleep.
At this time, only four hours after the incident developed, Wang Hanwen finally began to fight back.
