It has been eleven years since he was cowardly. He would rather choose to forget than take the initiative to come to her and ask for forgiveness. However, as long as she is willing to speak, he is willing to accept any conditions, be willing to pay any price, and give any compensation - any form is OK.

In the evening, when the lights were on, there was a wet smell in the air after the sprinkler truck passed, and the wind was faint. These were not far from Han Shu's ideal state. In the unique tea restaurant, the taste of lemon tea was as good as ever. The smile of the young girl in the restaurant was sweet, but today Han Shu was not satisfied with the charm. His body became cold and hot, and his legs were pressed against the narrow table, shaking uncontrollably.

Han Shu tried his best to think about the scene that was like an atomic bomb exploded for him. There were no children or anything terrible. He kept poking the slices of lemon in the cup with the straw in his hand, and there were several seeds in the fresh yellow flesh. What was terrible was that the word "sci" reminded him of the phrase "child". Imagination was really a terrifying thing. Children, children... it seemed that someone kept chanting this tight spell in his ear. The girl - Han Shu had been looking forward to her that she was just the little sister of the neighbor's house, and perhaps the little daughter of the owner of the small shop, but he clearly saw her and Xie Juinian enter the broken iron gate in the yard together, and for an hour, he did not appear again.

While waiting, Han Shu shamelessly used her position to call the neighborhood committee of Xie Juinian's community to investigate all her situation on the grounds of assisting in the investigation. The aunt on duty at the neighborhood committee cooperated more than he imagined. She didn't even ask which procuratorate Han Shu was from and why the case came. She just poured beans into the bamboo tube and told everything she knew about Xie Juinian, and added a lot of content beyond the case handling needs.

It is precisely because of the enthusiasm of this aunt that Han Shu knows at least the following: Xie Junian's current marriage status column shows that she is single. She returned here almost eight years ago and rented a house. She changed her job several times. The longest one is working in this fabric store. She has been working for almost four years. It is not easy to become a store manager from a clerk. Her daily routine is almost the same as what Han Shu has seen. She has no close friends, no relatives, and no particularly close men appear near her residence. She lives with a girl. The girl is ten years old and is in the fourth grade of a nearby elementary school. The child's surname is Xie, and she calls her aunt, but she does not have a household registration with her.

According to Ju Nian herself, this is her cousin's child. Her cousin has lived in a long and has no place to stay, so she will take care of the child on her behalf. This "temporary" time has not been short so far. All the old residents nearby know that not long after she moved here, this little doll that had only learned to walk appeared beside her, and basically no one had seen her cousin. The aunt from the neighborhood committee told Han Shu on the other end of the phone mysteriously: "If she weren't young, many people would think that the girl was born by herself. How could parents never care about their children? They even had few visits. Who knows whether that cousin exists or not?"

After discovering that Han Shu was silent for a long time, the old aunt who was enthusiastic about charity asked with concern: "Comrade Prosecutor, did Ju Nian commit anything again? We know that she has a criminal record and has always paid more attention to her. However, she has lived nearby for so long and seems to be obedient. Although she doesn't like to interact with others, she gets along well with neighbors and other things. The landlord also said that she can't tell that she has been in jail. However, knowing people but not the heart. By the way, I heard that there is a young man who has been driving around her place recently. It's very suspicious. We will pay attention. If we need help, we will report her actions in a timely manner."

The aunt of the neighborhood committee treated Xie Junian as a potential criminal, as if someone slapped Han Shu hard on the face, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He almost forgot that he was clearly in the name of asking the neighborhood committee to assist in the investigation and spy on her privacy in disgrace. He highly praised the old aunt's "legal concept" and hung up the phone, and became more and more confused. Every time he knew more facts, the closer he was to her, the more he felt that the answer was about to come out.

Han Shu had held a frozen teacup, so he touched his arm with some chilling fingers. He felt the skin there, the flesh and blood under the skin, and the hot liquid flowing in the flesh. The girl should be so warm, just like the replication of his flesh and blood. This idea was enough to make Han Shu’s brain crash, and she couldn’t cry even when she cried. She felt far-fetched and had nowhere to tell her fear. He was twenty-nine years old this year, and she was still a few months away from her thirties. She loved crazy, playful, free and enjoyable. Although she had thought about finding someone to get married, the concept of home and responsibility were still very weak for him. Perhaps subconsciously, he still regarded himself as a big boy. However, a girl in her teens emerged on the hot wheel like Nezha. How could she not be shocked to make him leave his three souls and six spirits.

Is Xie Juinian the mother of the child? If so, who is the child’s father? How likely is it to be him? Even one in ten thousand chance is enough to make Han Shu restless. Moreover, the probability is definitely more than one in ten thousand, and he knows it in his heart.

"What are you looking at? There are monsters in the cup?" Zhu Xiaobei's smiled voice shocked Han Shu. She pulled the stool and sat down. I wonder if she was too hasty when she went out, and the ends of her hair were a little messy, but Han Shu was not in the mood to laugh at her, just like a terminally ill person who had no intention of laughing at a facial paralysis patient.

"I thought you would say a few words like 'I prefer saying hello to me when you say hello'." After Zhu Xiaobei finished speaking, he found that Han Shu was still silent. He looked a little strange today, "Han Shu, what blow have you been? Let's listen?" A good girlfriend should be so understanding.

Han Shu lowered his head, looking very troubled, but when he finally looked at Zhu Xiaobei and held his hands tightly, Zhu Xiaobei realized that something might have happened.

"Xiaobei, I think something happened to me."

"Haha, Han Shu, you are not going to tell me that your ex-girlfriend is pregnant and the child has been one month old." Zhu Xiaobei tried to dissolve the serious atmosphere. The relationship between her and Han Shu was always relaxed and pleasant. The way she looked in front of her made her very uncomfortable. However, when she said this joke, Han Shu's face turned pale.

"Uh, it seems that you don't quite agree with my sense of humor today." Zhu Xiaobei laughed dryly, "I'll take back what I said just now and say, Han Shu, I'm mentally prepared."

Han Shu took a deep breath, hooked his fingers, and suggested that Zhu Xiaobei come over, and Zhu Xiaobei listened in concert. Han Shu lowered his voice and said with difficulty: "Xiaobei, I think I really have a child, no...but, it's not a month, but ten years old..."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiaobei stayed for three seconds, looked at Han Shu, and slowly leaned on the back of the chair: "Child... ten years old?" She half-squinted one eye, half-turned her head, and kept a slightly open curve of her lips. She looked at the person opposite her again with a suspicious and terrifying look. But her horror did not stem from the fact that "child", but because Han Shu, her boyfriend said something incredible.

"Sorry, I know it's incredible. Believe me, I'm shocked, but I'm not kidding. Xiaobei, I'm serious, I may have a child about ten years old, girl!"

Zhu Xiaobei's reaction was expected by Han Shu. He thought that since things had reached this point, it would be even more dirty to hide them. If it were the cause he planted, he would have to taste the result.

Zhu Xiaobei finally came back to his senses: "Han Shu, you are so awesome, a ten-year-old child, how old were you when you were a child? Eighteen or nineteen? Damn, have I ever said that I admire you? The elites are so unique? You only know the existence of children today?"

Han Shu spread his hands in depression: "I think so." He felt that he was about to be shocked by this crazy incident. No one would tell him, and he would be schizophrenia. "The child looked very beautiful when he was in elementary school. Yes, just like you said. I was only over 18 years old back then, so I was shocked."

"The child's mother is your former girlfriend? It took more than ten years to bring her child to come to the door to recognize her ancestors. Damn, why is this plot so familiar? She asked you to take responsibility? Have you tried your DNA? Like the ones performed on TV, the child looks like a copy of you? The child rushed up and called you dad?"

Under Zhu Xiaobei's question like a cannon, Han Shu was no.

"Not all? Then how do you know that it is your child? You are not afraid of being framed? In my mother's words, this society is far more complicated than you think. Also, you are a legal worker, and you are not as vigilant as a little?"

"No, alas, why do you say that? She didn't come to me at all. I secretly went to see her. Sorry, Xiaobei, I didn't tell you this. I had no other intentions, just wanted to see if she was doing well. As a result, I saw the child beside her. I didn't even walk up and ask." Han Shu himself also felt a little ridiculous and didn't know how to say it.
