Chapter 9 Making Friends
By completing this series of events of finding children and catching human traffickers.
Yan Ming admired Gu Yu's abilities, and after knowing that he was once a soldier, he became even more familiar with him.
On the way back, he kept talking non-stop, and when he got excited his voice became incredibly loud.
Gu Yu's ears hurt from the shock, but he still chatted with him with his little patience.
Anyway, after a few minutes, he had basically grasped the information about Yan Ming's age, military camp, position, and relationship with Lin Xiuzhu.
Hearing the noise coming from the box door, Xiuzhu quickly looked towards the two of them.
When I saw Yan Ming's expression that couldn't hide what was going on, I guessed in my heart that the child must have been found.
Xiuzhu's delicate little face was filled with curiosity, her eyes twinkled and became sparkling, she looked at Yan Ming expectantly, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Gu Yu found it a little funny watching from the side, thinking that he was really young and couldn't hide things, and his expression changed every now and then.
Yan Ming did not want to lose the lawsuit, and quickly began to explain what happened: "Gu Yu deduced that the little boy ran towards the dining car based on the fact that he ran away in a tantrum because he did not buy the braised pork he wanted."
"So we followed the trajectory from the boy's carriage to the dining car and started our search."
"We went in to look for places where things could be hidden, and eventually the child was found in an abandoned toilet."
Speaking of which, this child was also an unlucky one. It turned out that a human trafficker was going out to get food and saw a lone child on the road.
It happened that the shop was closed for the day, so I lured him to a secluded place and then took him away.
Xiuzhu was still a little confused and asked, "What if the human trafficker took the child and walked in the opposite direction of the dining car?"
"This possibility is very low. The family found the child not long after he went missing, and the passengers were very vigilant at that time."
"Moving with a child is too conspicuous, so the conservative approach is to hide yourself first and wait until the train is in chaos before leaving the station."
Gu Yu patiently analyzed the incident for Xiuzhu.
"Oh, that seems to be the case. You are really amazing. You are suitable to be a police officer."
Her gentle voice reached Gu Yu's ears, carrying with it a bit of childlike innocence and trust.
I thought to myself, she actually guessed it right.
I remembered the remaining 10 yuan and took it out and gave it to her.
Xiuzhu has a bad memory. She only remembered when she saw the money: "Take this 10 yuan. My compensation is only 10 yuan. This is the reward for your help in finding the person."
Nowadays, we all emphasize mutual help and selfless dedication.
Gu Yu actually thought Xiuzhu's novel and unique idea was quite good.
Why should we selflessly dedicate ourselves to strangers?
His comrades-in-arms made selfless contributions and sacrificed their lives, but who has ever sacrificed for their parents, wives and children at home?
"Okay." Gu Yu took the money with mixed feelings.
After all the hard work, both of them were exhausted and began to feel hungry.
Yan Ming took out the sugar buns made by Lin's mother from the cloth bag and generously gave one to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu did not refuse. He said thank you and took it. He finished it in just a few bites, but his movements seemed very gentle.
He was already hungry, after all, he only had an apple for dinner.
Xiuzhu saw that the two men were indeed very hungry, and thought that two big men could not be filled with just one steamed bun.
He took his snack bag off the bed.
She thought about how she had rejected Gu Yu's offer of food exchange before, but he still helped her deal with the abusive old witch.
She handed over the portion that belonged to Yan Ming, and then walked gracefully to Gu Yu with her small snack bag.
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me. I didn't exchange food with you before because I don't like to interact with strangers."
"But now we are not strangers. You can pick any of these delicious foods. We can give them to you."
"My name is Lin Xiuzhu, I'm 18 years old this year, and I'm going to take the college entrance exam this New Year. I'm glad to meet you." (Heads sent from source, don't mind age.)
She looked delicate, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, with a barely perceptible hint of playfulness.
Looking closely, her facial features are even more delicate, her skin is as smooth as a baby's, and there is a small red mole under her right ear. Every part of her seems to grow to his liking.
He rubbed his fingers, raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes were full of strong interest, and replied in a gentle voice: "Gu Yu, nice to meet you."
For some reason, I don't really want to mention my age in front of her.
"We are not strangers now, so we are friends. Can you help me pick out your favorite food for me?" His voice was seductive and concealed a smile.
The simple-minded Xiuzhu thought about how the other person stood up for her, and how he would protect her just like her father and Uncle Yan.
Suddenly, the corners of his lips curved up, revealing a faint smile: "Okay!"
"My grandfather sent me this cookie. It's my favorite. I haven't touched it yet. I'm giving it to you!"
Xiuzhu has always been generous to her "own people".
"Thank you. You gave me your favorite food. This bag of apples and this box of chocolates are also for you." Gu Yu handed over the food with his bony hands.
She took it with her fair hands, and her slender fingertips accidentally slid across his palm, as if lighting a fire, burning him and making him feel numb and itchy.
When Xiuzhu looked at the apple, fireworks exploded in her heart and the smile on her face blossomed like a flower, so clean and sweet that it was touching.
She has lived a privileged life since childhood and has a generous and open-minded personality, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
Yan Ming looked at the precious food sent by Gu Yu and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not only is Gu Yu smart, but he is also kind-hearted and generous. He is really a good person.
I completely forgot the impression I had of him/her when I first met him/her...
Chen Yuling was jealous as she looked at the food in Xiuzhu's hand.
But she didn't dare to say anything more, thinking of the look in Gu Yu's eyes when he looked at her before he walked out of the car. It was full of gloom and like a snake or scorpion, which made her shudder.
That man was truly terrifying. She was very smart, and although she felt unwilling, she also understood that it was not something she could control.
When she saw the dispute in the box, she wanted to teach Lin Xiuzhu a lesson. She was really annoyed by her arrogant look and her seductive appearance. She really wanted to step on her under her feet.
Until now she still doesn't think that what she did was wrong, she just added fuel to the fire with a few words.
But she didn't dare to associate with Gu Yu anymore.
He rejected her time and again, looking at her as if she were something dirty.
It doesn’t matter. They all look down on her now, but in the future, they will definitely regret it.
