Wei Qingzhe introduced Gu Xi to a policeman named Shen Feng who was promoting awareness of school violence and domestic violence.
Chen Feng is 27 years old. He was injured in the army and was discharged from the army. Although the injury does not affect his daily life, he cannot continue with high-intensity training and missions.
Shen Feng stood tall, but somewhat unkempt. He might have realized this as he greeted Gu Xi, "I'm sorry, I just finished a case these past two days and didn't have time to take care of myself. I didn't even go home before I came here."
Gu Xi didn't expect him to be so polite: "It's okay, I understand. My husband often doesn't take care of his appearance when he's busy."
Chen Feng looked at Gu Xi in surprise: "Getting married so early? No wonder I can't find a partner. The good girls have already been taken away."
Gu Xi felt that working with this person was quite easy: "You are quite interesting to talk to. Not only will you be working with me this time, but you will also be working with a beautiful and smart young female college student. I will take you to meet her now."
Chen Feng nodded with a smile: "This is a good job. I will report it to my boss and ask him to assign me more of this kind of work. It's easy and there are beautiful female college students to please the eyes."
Gu Xi knew he was joking. He behaved with restraint and caution from beginning to end, without glancing around unnecessarily. He was a man of integrity.
Xu Jiajia saw Gu Xi at school and hugged her in surprise: "Why are you here? I missed you so much."
Gu Xi saw that she had lost some weight, but she was still in good spirits. "Are you tired from studying? Why have you lost so much weight? Eat more. Being too thin doesn't look good."
Xu Jiajia smiled and said, "It's true that I'm a bit busy. I had too many classes recently, and you've lost some weight. I heard from Wu Yue that Wei Qingzhe won't be going to the newspaper office anymore, but I'm also very busy with my studies."
Gu Xi sighed, "I'm not ambitious, I feel okay, the content is not difficult, maybe I don't feel tired because I'm more interested in it. But Wang Xu is very busy."
Seeing that the two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they had completely forgotten about themselves, Chen Feng could only cough awkwardly twice to try to make some presence felt.
Gu Xi introduced the two with a smile: "This is Officer Shen, Shen Feng, and this is my good friend, a student at this normal school. This time, the three of us will work together to report, analyze, and customize the project based on real cases."
Xu Jiajia greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hello, Officer Shen, I'm Xu Jiajia, you can call me Xiao Xu or Jiajia. I don't have any experience in this area, but I won't hold Gu Xi back."
Chen Feng also greeted politely: "Hello, you can just call me Chen Feng. This is a new task assigned by the higher-ups, and no one has done it before, so there is no comparison. We just need to do our job and don't feel pressured."
After getting to know each other, we went to the neighborhood, but there weren't many shops near the school, only a few noodle shops, so it wasn't convenient to sit down and chat. The school library was also being expanded and would be closed for a month.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come over to my house? It's an apartment allocated by the company, and my neighbors are all police officers. It's very safe. I rarely go back home, and most people who have cases stay at the police station. It's about a 15-20 minute bike ride from here. There's a bus that goes directly to my house, about 6 stops away."
Gu Xi and Xu Jiajia hesitated for a moment, and Chen Feng felt that it was indeed a bit inconvenient: "I was inconsiderate. It's really not appropriate for you two little girls to come to my house. Sorry."
Xu Jiajia knew he had misunderstood and tried to explain, "It's not that we're not nice, we just didn't want to disturb you. We also wanted your girlfriend to misunderstand and think someone had entered your house."
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed: "I'm single, I don't have a partner, if you don't mind, just go directly. What about you, Gu Xi?"
Gu Xi spread her hands indifferently: "The neighbors are all police officers, so it must be safe. I have no problem with it."
When we arrived at Chen Feng's residence, we found that the location was really good. It was between Xu Jiajia's school and Gu Xi's home, and even closer to Wang Xu's school. We could just let him know when the time came, and Wang Xu would come to pick us up if we were late.
As a dormitory for single men, this apartment has a one-bedroom and one-living room layout. There is not much furniture, just simple tables and chairs. Since there are not many things and people don’t live here often, it is clean.
Chen Feng went to the kitchen to pour water for the two of them, but there were no extra cups or water. He scratched his hair and said, "I haven't been home for a long time. There's nothing at home. I'll go downstairs and buy two bottles of drinks. You guys sit down first."
Chen Feng hurried downstairs and bought a watermelon from an old man at the entrance of the alley. He then went to the small supply and marketing cooperative at the door and bought 6 bottles of soda and egg cakes, as well as 6 glasses, a kettle and a cold water kettle.
On the way home, I was thinking about how rough my life is.
Gu Xi and Lin Jiajia also thought so. They took a quick look around the room. There was only a table, four chairs, a simple bookshelf with some military books on it. The kitchen was also empty. There was only a bed and a wardrobe in the room. It could be described as a bare house.
The two of them silently took out notebooks and some books borrowed from the library from their bags, but found that the table was covered with dust and they couldn't find a piece of cloth to wipe it, so they had to give up.
Chen Feng returned soon. When he entered the room, he saw the two of them sitting there, books in their hands, in a stalemate. "Well, you two should have some soda first. There's also some egg cake. I'll put it on the table for you."
Just as he was about to put the food on the table, Xu Jiajia reached out to block it. Their hands touched, and he quickly withdrew his hand: "Your table is covered in dust, and we can't find a cloth to wipe it. If you put your food on it, it will get dirty."
Chen Feng patted his forehead and said, "I'm careless. You take the egg cake first. I'll find a cloth to wipe the table."
He looked around but couldn't find a rag. He felt a little headache, so he walked into the house randomly, took out an old piece of clothing from the closet, tore it open, wet it in the bathroom, and wiped the table clean.
Gu Xi and Xu Jiajia were simply stunned by this operation, but this action was quite cool and unrestrained.
Chen Feng washed the newly bought kettle, kettle and cups, put them aside, and boiled water directly. He usually only drank water and never touched sweets.
While waiting for the water to be grilled and poured into the kettle to cool, the three of them sat down at the table and began to discuss.
Shen Feng talked about the cases he encountered while handling cases. The first one was domestic violence. The family looked down on the daughter-in-law, but the woman felt that she had married out of her status because the man's family was an employee.
At the beginning, the husband would beat people when he drank too much at social events. Later, he would beat people whenever he was unhappy, and he would even beat them in front of the children, which caused the children to disrespect their mother.
Later, the girl couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to escape back to her parents' home, but she was tied up and sent back by her two brothers. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. There is no such thing as divorce at that time. It would be embarrassing for the whole family to tell others about it. Among the two brothers, the younger one is not married yet, so they are afraid that it will affect the marriage.
Until one time, she was beaten so badly that she couldn't move at all. She bled a lot and was sent to the hospital, where she had a miscarriage. The mother-in-law even blamed the daughter-in-law for not being able to keep the baby.
She could no longer bear it and felt that she could not live like this after being discharged from the hospital. One time, when her husband came home drunk, she went to the kitchen to get a knife and directly chopped off her husband's head, and then killed her mother-in-law who usually treated her harshly.
It was not until the father-in-law came back from a social event and saw his wife and children dead as soon as he entered the house that he was so scared that he ran away and called the police.
