When Yi Pin saw Shen Yu again, he was wearing that yellow vest, yet he looked extremely good-looking. He still had a crew cut.
His already well - defined face had become even thinner. His complexion was a bit pale, and there was a hint of hostility and exhaustion all over him.
"Why didn't you leave?" Shen Yu asked in surprise when he saw Yi Pin. He had thought that Yi Pin had already left, and his heart felt empty. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, the person in front of him was the very Yi Pin he had been yearning for.
"Shen Yu, you bastard! Do you think I can't share weal and woe with you? Do you think I'm an unreliable person?" Yi Pin said coldly, but then cried while looking at Shen Yu in front of him. Tears dropped one by one on the table.
Through the glass, Shen Yu reached out his hand but couldn't wipe the tears away. There was a look of helplessness on his face, and the corners of his eyes were a bit moist.
"Yi Pin, don't cry. When you cry, I feel sad!" Shen Yu squeezed out a smile over the phone, a smile with a hint of coldness.
"Shen Yu, I know you're not that kind of person. I will definitely get you out!" Yi Pin said with a frown.
The two of them hadn't said much to each other. They were just busy looking at each other, and then the time was up.
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile, with a bit of a smile on his face.
He just wanted Shen Yu to feel at ease and not think too much.
Shen Yu was taken away by the police officer. Yi Pin shouted anxiously at last, "Shen Yu, you were the one who provoked me first. You have to spend your whole life making it up to me!"
Shen Yu turned around. His eyes were a bit red, and he gave a faint smile.
Watching the door being slammed shut and the empty room, Yi Pin felt a bit dazed. He walked out in a daze.
Looking at the sun, he suddenly felt cold from the inside out. The cold was extremely bone - chilling, and there were people coming and going on the street.
Yi Pin felt a sharp pain in his heart. It seemed that in the sunlight, he was about to collapse. But there was a voice in his heart telling him that there was still Shen Yu, and Shen Yu was counting on him.
He squatted at the police station entrance and smoked a cigarette before coming to his senses. He stood up, asked Qi Mingyang for some information about the current case, and then went to the scene alone to collect evidence.
Qi Mingyang might have been worried seeing Yi Pin in such a daze, so he followed him around.
In the evening, Yi Pin returned to Shen Yu's villa. The key was placed under the flower pot at the door.
Although Shen Yu had always told Yi Pin where the key was, Yi Pin had never really used the key to open the door. He always deliberately knocked on the door and let Shen Yu open it for him, but Shen Yu never got angry. Instead, he would smile.
Looking at the dark room and the familiar smell, the room was filled with images of Shen Yu.
Yi Pin frowned. This feeling was uncomfortable. There were only memories and bits and pieces of the past.
But there was no sign of life. Yi Pin walked into Shen Yu's room, lay on the bed, and buried his head in Shen Yu's pillow, breathing in Shen Yu's smell.
Yi Pin gently turned on the light and saw the candid photo of the two of them taken when they went out to play together. At that time, they seemed to dislike each other, but there was a faint smile on their lips.
He opened Shen Yu's drawer and found the model he had made with his own hands, lying there quietly.
Yi Pin suddenly felt his nose turn sour, and there was a sharp pain in his head.
For more than ten days in a row, Yi Pin couldn't sleep at all. Just thinking about Shen Yu suffering in prison made his heart feel like it was being stabbed by a knife.
So he collected evidence day and night, and finally things started to get a bit clearer.
He felt extremely irritated, but he still endured it and dealt with everything one by one.
Finally, the court date arrived as scheduled. Yi Pin was a bit nervous and uneasy. He was afraid... If there was the slightest mistake, both he and Shen Yu would be doomed. He couldn't afford to be the least bit negligent.
After Shen Yu was brought in, Yi Pin stared directly at Shen Yu in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips.
Shen Yu was very nervous. His heart was pounding wildly.
For some reason, there was a bruise on Shen Yu's face. Yi Pin guessed that he must have been bullied in prison. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Shen Yu glanced at Yi Pin. There was a gentle look in his eyes, and he made a cheering gesture.
Yi Pin nodded in response.
Yi Pin already had an answer in mind and had collected all the evidence. It was obvious that Cheng Lingqing's parents had been bewitched and that was why they wanted to sue Shen Yu.
Throughout the lawsuit, Yi Pin always talked eloquently and had every aspect under control. Finally, they won the case.
Shen Yu always had a faint smile on his lips and quietly watched Yi Pin in front of him.
A few days later, Shen Yu was released without being found guilty. It was found that Cheng Lingqing had committed suicide, not been murdered, and the child in her belly was her ex - boyfriend's, having nothing to do with Shen Yu.
That day, the sun was very bright, and there were dots of sunlight shining down.
Yi Pin was a bit nervous at the door, pacing back and forth.
Then the iron gate opened. Shen Yu was dressed in casual clothes, with his hands in his pockets, walking out. The sun shone on his fair and somewhat hostile face. He still looked as unruly as ever.
Yi Pin smiled. There was a smile on his face, but the corners of his eyes were a bit red.
Shen Yu walked over and smiled, "Not bad, Xiaopinzi. You did a really cool job in the lawsuit!"
Yi Pin smiled and stared directly into Shen Yu's eyes.
"You're not allowed to push me away in the future. Do you hear me? You're mine in life and mine in death!" Yi Pin said fiercely, with a smile on his face and a hint of hostility.
"Okay, I know!" Shen Yu hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile, held Yi Pin's face, and kissed him.
When the two of them returned to the apartment, it was snowing. The hazy snow was mixed with a bit of chill.
The two of them didn't say a word. They just quietly lay on the bed.
Looking at each other face to face, Yi Pin stared directly at Shen Yu in front of him.
"What? You've been looking at me all afternoon. Am I too handsome?" Shen Yu smiled and ruffled Yi Pin's hair.
"Yes, you're too handsome!" Yi Pin smiled. "I'm having a good look to make up for the days I've missed."
Shen Yu turned around, gently pulled Yi Pin into his arms, and gently kissed his forehead.
"From now on, we'll face everything together. I'm not a kid anymore!" Yi Pin leaned against Shen Yu's shoulder, said coldly, and gently kissed Shen Yu's collarbone.
"Yes, our Xiaopinzi has grown up. It's really killing me!" Shen Yu hooked the corner of his mouth, turned over, and pinned Yi Pin down on the bed, smiling.
"Damn it, you're really not serious. You just got out. Are you hungry?" Yi Pin put his arms around Shen Yu's neck and gently kissed him.
Shen Yu hooked the corner of his mouth and kissed Yi Pin's lips a few times, then said with a smile, "I'm hungry. Will you feed me?"
"Get off!" Yi Pin pushed Shen Yu away, pouted, and said, "Come on, let's go eat first!"
