Chapter 144 The Little Boy 7 Years Ago
Chapter 144 The Little Boy Seven Years Ago
Qin Luo glanced at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him and swallowed. The notebook in front of him was already filled with five pages of conversation records.
To be honest, even though the other party was sitting on a prison-style chair, unable to move normally, and had handcuffs on his hands, Qin Luo still felt a little uneasy.
This is a death row inmate.
He kept muttering to himself.
Why did I become a newspaper reporter... Why did I listen to the editor-in-chief's instructions and take on the job of interviewing death row inmates when other colleagues were avoiding it...
Why didn’t I get into the university of my dreams?
Why did I become a journalist after graduation?
Why do I——
Just as the newspaper reporter wearing black-framed glasses was constantly reflecting on his life in his heart, the middle-aged man named Lin opposite him spoke.
He had an ordinary appearance, the kind that you wouldn't be able to find in a crowd at first glance. His eyes were a little dull, as if he had experienced a lot and had become indifferent to everything. The middle-aged man looked at Qin Luo and suddenly sneered.
"What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say?"
Qin Luo scratched his head and said, "Anything is fine... For example, do you have any regrets?"
"There are so many regrets... I can't even begin to explain. I haven't seen my mother for more than ten years. Haha, I don't even know if she recognizes me. She probably doesn't recognize me at all. Her son is dying, but she doesn't even know it. What a pitiful old lady..."
Qin Luo asked tentatively: "Shouldn't we inform the old man about this matter?"
The middle-aged man looked over, but Qin Luo didn't dare to meet his gaze and quickly lowered his eyes.
"Don't notify her, she must think I'm dead anyway!"
"This is my life, this is my fate, I can't escape it... Little brother, do you have any wine?"
Qin Luo quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "No..."
The middle-aged man stared at the air in front of him, suddenly sneered again, and said to himself: "Don't drink, drinking will cause trouble. I still remember a little boy seven years ago... Hehe..."
Qin Luo selected the useful words and wrote them down in the notebook. Then he looked up and asked curiously, "The little boy seven years ago?"
The middle-aged man suddenly cursed and said, "Those black-hearted businessmen are the ones who deserve to die. They are really unscrupulous! Damn! But what can we do? They have money, and money makes the world go round, don't you think? Little brother?"
Qin Luo was confused and could only smile dryly and nod.
The middle-aged man surnamed Lin said nothing in the end. He just stared at the air and laughed, a laugh that revealed endless reluctance and vicissitudes.
Qin Luo closed his notebook and walked out of the gate of Baoling Prison under the guidance of the staff.
He took a deep breath of air from the outside world, as if releasing the depressed mood that had been suppressed for most of the day.
It's terrible, it's terrible...
I will never take this kind of job again next time...
At this moment, the phone rang. Qin Luo quickly clamped the notebook under his arm and answered the call: "Hello?"
"Qin Luo, have you bought the ticket back to Lucheng?"
A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Luo nodded: "I bought it, this Friday night."
The girl on the phone laughed happily twice, and then said: "I have good news to tell you, I found a job!"
Hearing this, Qin Luo's eyes widened immediately: "Great, which company is it from?"
"Lu's Food, a branch in Zhu City, I applied for a secretary position. The HR department called me and said I had a good image and was hired."
"What the hell?! Being a secretary? Sister Lan, you're so pretty, be careful that the boss over there will take advantage of you at work."
"Get lost, and besides, I'm a newcomer and I don't deserve to be so successful. Let's get down to business. When will I go back to No. 7 Middle School to see the director? This Saturday or this Sunday?"
"How about Friday? I contacted the newspaper in Lucheng on Saturday and Sunday. Damn, I want to change jobs."
"Okay then... On Friday, let's go back to school together to see Ge Ritian."
……
Lucheng, Xingfuli. Lu Yuanqiu finished breakfast and was about to go out with his schoolbag on his back when he suddenly heard Lu Tian shouting from behind: "Did you bring an umbrella?"
“Will it rain today?”
Lu Tian looked at the morning newspaper in his hand, turned his head and glanced at the figure in the kitchen, and explained: "Didn't your mother say that there was a heavy rainstorm?"
"Idiot! I said there will be one in the near future, I didn't say there will be one today!"
Su Xiaoya walked out of the kitchen and shouted at Lu Tian. He glanced at his husband's right cheek and burst into laughter: "No wonder he is as stupid as a pig and his face is swollen like a pig's head."
Lu Tian’s face darkened.
Lu Yuanqiu held an umbrella and turned back to ask, "Is it going to rain today?"
"Even if you're not here, I'll take you with me."
"No, please."
The boy put down his umbrella and went out with his schoolbag.
"This child..." Su Xiaoya smacked her lips. She took off her apron, walked to her husband, smiled and poked his cheek with her hand, which almost made Lu Tian run away from the sofa.
"What are you doing?! You're going to die!"
"It hurts, right, husband? It won't hurt if you kiss me. Come on, kiss me..." Su Xiaoya bent down and moved forward with a pout.
Lu Tian was fierce one second, but in the next second he just smiled foolishly and pouted his lips to greet him.
"kisses--"
"kisses--"
"Bang!"
Before their lips touched, they suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked at Lu Yidong who had just walked out of the bathroom.
The three of them looked at each other.
Until their pouts became a little stiff, Lu Tian and Su Xiaoya quickly separated with serious expressions, one continued to read the newspaper, and the other continued to walk towards the kitchen wearing an apron.
Lu Yidong stared at the ground, lowered his head in silence and walked towards the bedroom.
"What are you still hesitating about?! Why don't you go to school?!"
Su Xiaoya suddenly rushed out of the kitchen in a rage, with her hands on her hips. Lu Yidong was so scared that his face showed an expression. He shouted "Oh my God" and rushed into the bedroom to pack his schoolbag.
……
Lucheng No. 28 Middle School, Class .
After the first Chinese class, Liu Wei patted the podium and said, "The school has announced that there will be a midterm exam next Friday. Everyone should prepare well. Those who did poorly in the last monthly exam and were scolded by their parents should do well this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class became stagnant. In one corner, snoring could even be heard, especially from Zheng Yifeng.
The morning sleepiness and the numbness caused by the big exam made neither the awake nor the sleepy people want to respond to this sentence.
The same was true for Lu Yuanqiu. His eyelids were fighting each other, and he would not give any reaction even if he heard that the college entrance examination would be next Friday.
Oh no, if the college entrance examination is really next Friday, I still have to give some reaction.
Seeing Lu Yuanqiu lying on the table, Bai Qingxia pulled the curtains to the side to block out the glaring sunlight outside.
"Good deskmate." The boy with his eyes closed suddenly spoke with a smile.
Bai Qingxia was stunned and lowered her head quickly.
The music of going downstairs started to play at this time, and Lu Yuanqiu frowned again.
"Lu Yuanqiu!"
Liu Wei came to the back row. Lu Yuanqiu didn't look up, but the girl next to him looked up at the teacher.
"What's the matter, teacher?" Lu Yuanqiu responded tiredly.
"I'm going to lead the exercise on stage today.
