Looking at Zhou Shui's pitiful expression and the ropes tightly tied around his body, everyone felt particularly uncomfortable, especially when he said these words. Zhou Shui was now full of inferiority and helplessness, especially after he had overcome his drug addiction and saw Zheng Xinyi's face covered with scars, he felt even more uncomfortable. If they tied themselves up like this, they could prevent themselves from doing things that would hurt others. He really thought this was a good thing.
But everyone felt uncomfortable because he was a living, flesh-and-blood person after all. If they had no other choice, they wouldn't want to do this.
Cheng Haoyu cast his gaze towards Zheng Xinyi, who nodded slightly. Cheng Haoyu then untied the ropes on him and said in a heartfelt voice, "Brother, I'm sorry."
Zhou Shui felt warm inside when he heard the word "brother." Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at Cheng Haoyu with wide eyes: "Aren't you afraid that my drug addiction will flare up and I'll hurt Zheng Xinyi again?"
"It's okay. Next time your drug addiction strikes, I will try my best to learn to protect myself and prevent you from hurting me. Besides, haven't you made progress this time? You see, you didn't smoke opium, but you still got through it, didn't you?" Zheng Xinyi persuaded in a gentle tone.
"That's right, that's right, you're really great." Huang Lei gave him a thumbs up. In fact, everyone has witnessed how terrible Zhou Shui's drug addiction is. When he thought of the scene just now, Huang Lei broke out in a cold sweat, but Huang Lei, who knew Zhou Shui's story, admired him more.
"You are a soldier I admire from the bottom of my heart. You have suffered for everyone's safety." Cheng Haoyu said seriously.
Tears welled up in Zhou Shui's eyes uncontrollably, not because of anything else, but because of his words. In fact, when he chose to join the army, he had already put his life and death out of the question. But then, he got addicted to drugs because of his duty. From then on, his life was in a slump and he became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat. No one understood or sympathized with him.
Liu Yun and Huang San exchanged a glance. Li Yi stepped forward and gently nudged Zheng Xinyi, who was moved by the scene before her. "Girl, is Zhou Shui also a soldier?"
Zheng Xinyi secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded to Li Yi very solemnly.
Even Brother Cat and the pawnshop lady were stunned. Brother Cat carefully observed Zhou Shui from head to toe again, then patted him on the shoulder: "So you are also a soldier."
"That's right, Zhou Shui used to be a threat in the army!" Huang Lei responded from the side, and then told everyone about Zhou Shui's deeds in detail.
Everyone immediately looked at Zhou Shui with new eyes. Brother Mao patted Zhou Shui on the shoulder with admiration: "You are Cheng Haoyu's brother, which means you are also my brother Mao's brother. From today on, I will accompany you to quit drugs with everyone else. Come on, brother."
Liu Yun stepped forward somewhat embarrassedly, crossing his fingers across his chest. "Zhou Shui, I apologize for not letting you into the house because of your opium smoking. You got involved in drugs for the sake of us ordinary people, and you've endured so much hardship and suffering. You're truly remarkable."
Zhou Shui looked at everyone, each one of them speaking from the heart, feeling an indescribable warmth in his heart. It was as if an invisible hand had given him the courage to fight drugs to the end. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he nodded seriously: "I will definitely work hard to fight drugs to the end, and I will definitely not let you all down."
Everyone raised a smile of confidence in him and put their fists in front of their chests to cheer him on.
