The two of them jointly subdued the thug. The well - tied thug was tied to a tree root by them, with a gag stuffed into his mouth, torn from his own clothes.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yu had been staring intently at Yi Pin.
"I'm fine!" Yi Pin scratched his head awkwardly. "Why are you here?"
"I saw the news. A girl posted it today!"
Shen Yu said nonchalantly, gasping for breath. His face was flushed.
After seeing the news, he had almost run here at full speed. Running around in the woods made him quite tired. But at that time, all he could think about was what might happen to Yi Pin if he didn't come, so he forgot about the pain and the feeling of suffocation in his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Yu said coldly. "Are you stupid? Couldn't you get off the bus with the others?"
"Damn it, Shen Yu. You're from a military family. Can you be a bit more courageous? If I don't go to hell, who will? Besides, I'm unscathed!" Yi Pin pretended to be relaxed. In fact, he was also a bit scared. If Shen Yu hadn't come in time, the outcome would have been hard to tell.
"Yes, yes, yes. You're really amazing. You really deserve an award!"
Shen Yu said helplessly, glanced at Yi Pin, and then lay back on the grass, relieved.
Yi Pin looked at Shen Yu's profile and suddenly felt touched. Every time something happened to him, Shen Yu was always the first to rush to his aid, charging forward without reservation. Even if it was just for show, it was still a great feat.
After a while, Qi Mingyang came with a group of people and took the thug away.
"Thanks. I'll report your heroic deeds to my superiors!" Qi Mingyang smiled. Seeing that Yi Pin was okay, he let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that something might happen to Yi Pin.
"Someone has to do these things, right?" Yi Pin smiled.
The three of them walked side by side. Qi Mingyang looked at Shen Yu with a meaningful look. He had always thought that Shen Yu was just being impulsive, but now it seemed that he was quite sincere.
"Also, stay away from him in the future. One day, you'll ruin him!"
Shen Yu glared at Qi Mingyang angrily.
Since getting to know Qi Mingyang recently, he had felt that danger was everywhere, especially with Yi Pin's hot - tempered personality.
"It's not my fault, is it?" Qi Mingyang pouted and glanced at Yi Pin nervously. He didn't dare to look at Shen Yu, feeling as if Shen Yu would tear him apart and throw him into the trash can.
After they separated, the TV station reporters immediately surrounded the two of them.
"Heroes, could you share with us what happened?"
"Yes. What were you thinking when you were fighting the thug just now?"
"Well... The police will investigate the matter fairly and justly. I was thinking that it would be a pity if I died without even leaving a will!" Yi Pin shrugged. "As for the rest, no comment!"
Saying that, he tried to leave the crowd, but was blocked by the reporters.
"Get out of the way!" Shen Yu said coldly. Maybe it was because of his gloomy face or his strong aura. The reporters murmured but still made way for them.
Shen Yu grabbed Yi Pin's hand and quickly left the cameras and spotlights.
Even when they were far away from the reporters, Shen Yu didn't seem to want to let go. Yi Pin felt a bit embarrassed. After all, they were both men, and it was too eye - catching. Especially after Lin Yangcong said that thing, Yi Pin always tried to avoid such situations intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he could accept homosexuality, it didn't mean that he was homosexual.
They stopped by the lake next to the park. Yi Pin pulled his hand back and scratched his head. "Well... Thanks for today!"
Shen Yu shrugged. He knew that what he really needed wasn't just these two words of thanks.
"Well... I still have to investigate the bus case. I'll leave first!" Yi Pin said absent - mindedly, forcing an awkward smile.
"What bus case?" Shen Yu was shocked. Could it be that this guy was going to investigate the bus case that had just happened?
"Just... the theft case!" Yi Pin pouted.
"Oh, I thought..." Shen Yu put his hands in his pockets and smiled. "Then I'll go with you!"
"No need!" Yi Pin almost immediately refused, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Shen Yu stood still. These days, Yi Pin always seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and he always left early and returned late for no reason.
It seemed that he was trying to avoid him.
"Because... Qi Mingyang said he was going there too!" Yi Pin lowered his head, his face flushing.
Shen Yu stood still. In his opinion, Yi Pin was the worst liar in the world. It was so obvious.
"Okay, then go ahead!" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and then turned away.
Yi Pin watched the fading figure and suddenly felt a bit lost. He always said that he wanted to keep a distance, but he found that his heart didn't really think so.
Yi Pin went to a small wooden house alone. It was quite far from the city. This was the girl who had shown disdain for Zhou.
The girl was very plain - looking, with a simple and clean face.
Yi Pin knocked on the door. When the girl opened it, she looked at Yi Pin in shock and said timidly, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm a lawyer. I just want to investigate what happened on the bus that day with you!" Yi Pin said nervously, with a polite smile on his face.
The girl was stunned. Her eyes were wandering. Finally, she slowly said, "Come in, please!"
The house was very shabby. Yi Pin had never seen such a miserable house in his life. Looking at the crowded house and a child playing with toys, there was no one else.
"May I ask, are your parents not at home?" Yi Pin asked curiously.
"I... I don't have parents. It's just my younger brother and me!" The girl lowered her head, looking a bit sad.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Yi Pin immediately became nervous. He had stepped on a landmine with his first question.
"It's okay!" The girl smiled faintly and made a cup of tea for Yi Pin.
There was an apricot tree in the yard, two crowded wooden houses, one of which was the kitchen.
Yi Pin looked around. The girl in front of him should be a college student, and she didn't look very old.
"Aren't you going to school?" Yi Pin smiled and asked.
The girl lowered her head sadly, her eyes wandering. "I took a leave of absence the year before last. I'm planning to go back to school this year!"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yi Pin suddenly felt a bit heart - broken. A girl had to shoulder the burden of the family, earn money to support the family, and pay for her and her younger brother's tuition and living expenses...
