Since the last incident, Xun Er hadn't seen Chu Zhao in reality. She also knew how big the blow Chu Zhao had suffered was. His girlfriend died accidentally. No, to be precise, she committed suicide in his buddy's car when he ran over.
This kind of blow, as long as it was a normal man, it would be difficult to bear, even if he was a policeman.
On one side was his sweet girlfriend, and on the other side was his buddy who grew up with him. Chu Zhao, who was sandwiched between the two people, could only be like a coward. He could only rely on locking himself at home and drinking.
This … may be the only way.
Chu Zhao's character and Su Bai's were two extremes. The two people usually looked like ordinary people, but Su Bai's heart was hidden a kind of impulse and violence to overturn everything. Chu Zhao seemed to be much more timid, and he was really timid.
Su Bai's parents died in an accident when he was very young, so for so many years, Su Bai had been alone. Chu Zhao was the opposite. He had a very strong father and a very strong family.
When he was a child, he was often hung by his father under the door frame and whipped with a police whip. When he grew up, he was forced by his family to become a policeman. He was very disgusted, but he had to wear a police uniform. But at the same time, he also organized a murder club with a few of his buddies. This was a way to vent his dissatisfaction with the family arrangement.
Xun Er drove the car into Chu Zhao's community. Even after his girlfriend's accident, Chu Zhao didn't move. On the one hand, he didn't have a lot of properties like Su Bai. As a police officer, even if his living conditions and economic conditions were relatively good, he couldn't show it. This was very similar to some civil servants nowadays. They could obviously afford to buy a luxury car, but they couldn't buy it. They could afford to buy a mansion, but they couldn't put it under their own name. They couldn't show it blatantly.
Xun Er knocked on the door of Chu Zhao's house. She thought that Chu Zhao should be sleeping after being drunk at this time, but she didn't expect that Chu Zhao still opened the door.
Chu Zhao, who was wearing a white shirt, looked so tough and fresh. His beard was also shaved cleanly, giving people a very refreshing feeling.
This made Xun Er a little surprised. In her impression, Chu Zhao shouldn't have walked out of it so quickly, and he walked out so thoroughly.
"What's the matter?"
There was no need to be so polite with Xun Er. Chu Zhao went directly to the bathroom and washed his face with men's facial cleanser.
"Are you okay?" Xun Er walked into the living room, took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, opened it, and took a sip.
"No, it's gotten worse," Chu Zhao replied while rubbing his face.
"Why?" asked Xun Er.
"I'm going to find Su Bai. I have some things to ask him." Chu Zhao had just washed his face with water and was now wiping it with a towel as he walked out.
"Just like me, I originally planned to come and see you before going to find Su Bai."
"What a coincidence." Chu Zhao took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily. "Aren't you going back to England?"
I applied for leave, "Xun Er said with a smile.
"Why?" Chu Zhao was puzzled. This would affect Xun Er's future.
"I encountered some things. I don't want to be distracted now." Xun Er shook the can of beer. "What about you? What happened?"
"After listening to a radio, I suddenly felt that life had become meaningful again. Then, I suddenly felt that drinking all day and being unconscious is now a very luxurious thing." Chu Zhao reached out to take the beer in Xun Er's hand, but Xun Er dodged it.
"You can't drink when you drive later." Xun Er blinked. "Oh right, radio? Hehe, it can't be such a coincidence. The name is Horror Radio, right? "
Chu Zhao was suddenly stunned,
Xun Er was also stunned,
The two of them seemed to be a little surprised,
Actually..,
It was really such a coincidence.
..
The mountain was not high, it was famous if there were immortals, the water was not deep, it was spiritual if there were dragons.
However, it was not easy to find a satisfactory temple in such a large Shanghai and find a genuine eminent monk. In a society full of material desires, how many people could cultivate quietly and stick to their hearts?
Su Bai was still very cautious about naming the little guy. He did not want to make do with it casually. Since he was a father, he had to act like one.
He had no choice. After finding a few houses and feeling unsatisfied, Su Bai still called the monk.
Although he had just taken the monk's things, Su Bai did not feel any psychological burden or guilt.
"Hey, monk, do you know any senior brothers or sisters in Shanghai? Introduce me to one. I want to take a look at the child and give him a name."
The monk was silent for a while. He thought to himself, if he wanted to name the child, couldn't he have just called himself in Jiuzhaigou …
"Amitabha, Poor Monk knows one."
"Okay, send me your address." Su Bai hung up the phone.
Soon, the monk sent him an address on WeChat.
Su Bai entered the car navigation. It was not very far, but it seemed that he lived in an apartment building, not a temple.
About 15 minutes later, Su Bai's car drove into the neighborhood. The neighborhood relied on sensors to open the door automatically, but after seeing Su Bai's luxury car, the security guard immediately took the initiative to open the door for Su Bai. Su Bai also politely handed over a hundred-yuan tip when he drove past the guard booth.
Today was a joyous day to give the little fellow a name. Su Bai also wanted to accumulate more luck for the little fellow.
After going around and around, they finally found the building. Su Bai stopped the car next to the flowerbed and then walked in with the little fellow in his arms. This time, Ji Xiang did not follow but stayed at home. This cat had looked at the painting all night last night and was still unable to extricate itself. However, before Su Bai left home with the little fellow, Ji Xiang followed them all the way to the car. It even deliberately jumped onto Su Bai's steering wheel and looked at Su Bai for a while, implying that Su Bai must take good care of the little fellow.
Ji Xiang had good intentions, so Su Bai could not be angry. He really raised the little fellow as his own child. Now, for Su Bai, even if he had to give up his life, he would not let the little fellow suffer any harm.
After entering the elevator, they reached the thirteenth floor and turned left. The monk did not give him a phone number, but he gave the house number in detail.
Su Bai stood in front of the door and stretched out his hand to knock.
After knocking seven times, the door actually opened by itself. The furnishings inside were very simple and not very clean. There was even a thin layer of dust, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
In the living room, there was a monk in a kasaya sitting cross-legged with his back facing Su Bai.
"Master?" Su Bai shouted.
The other party did not respond.
Su Bai frowned. The monk should not be so tasteless as to trick him in this kind of thing. Moreover, he came here for the little fellow. The monk himself could be considered as the little fellow's half godfather.
However, the monk in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, Su Bai felt that he was … a dead person.
Just as Su Bai was deciding whether to leave the room and call the monk to confirm whether the eminent monk he had introduced to him had already passed away, Su Bai suddenly called out.
However, when Su Bai was about to step back, a sigh came from the monk's side. Then, the surroundings suddenly became bright and clean. The dust disappeared in an instant. The monk's body also seemed to be slowly inflating and expanding to the appearance of a normal person.
The little fellow covered his mouth with both hands and his eyes were wide open. Obviously, he was very curious about the changes around him.
"This child is not bad."
The monk stood up, turned around, and faced Su Bai.
The kasaya was not very new, but it exuded a kind of majesty. The monk looked very old, but very healthy, giving people a very unreal feeling.
"Born and raised by heaven. Interesting. Why is he following you?" The monk walked towards Su Bai.
Su Bai's eyes slightly narrowed, and began to reveal a murderous intent.
The monk tactfully stopped in his tracks, looked at the child, and then looked at Su Bai, smiled slightly.
"Why are you looking for the Poor Monk?"
"To find the master, to ask for a name."
"Amitabha."
The monk put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. For a moment, the monk's eyes became extremely deep, as if they had become two abysses that could make people involuntarily fall into them.
After a while, the monk let out a long breath. His whole body also became much more dispirited, as if he had consumed a lot of energy.
"Are you sure you want him to follow you?" asked the monk. "It will be better for this child if you don't stay with him."
"It doesn't matter. He has to follow me," said Su Bai. Su Bai had already thought about this very clearly.
"Well, there is no way to have both in this world. What is your surname?"
"Su."
"That child's name is Su Yuxuan. Yuxuan refers to the pavilion in the rain, the Xuanyuan in the rain, and the pavilion used to shelter from the rain. Donor, I also hope that this child can be the last shelter in your heart."
The monk seemed to be implying something. Then, he turned around and sat cross-legged. His figure began to become haggard again, and the surrounding light and the clear windows slowly dimmed.
Su Bai nodded. Seeing that the monk had already made the intention to see him off, Su Bai also left the room, and the door slowly closed automatically.
"Those who know it are the execution grounds of the eminent monks in the city. Those who don't know would think it is a haunted house." Su Bai smiled, and then reached out his hand to gently poke the little fellow's chin.
"Son, you will be called Yuxuan from now on. Su Yuxuan, what do you think?"
The little fellow sucked his finger, as if he was thinking, but also seemed to be hesitating. In the end, he nodded with a bitter face. Then, he opened his hands with a smile, and his legs began to gently kick.
"PaPa … PaPa … hug …"
