After one week.

In the ward of the prison hospital, Jiang Jusheng was lowering her head and peeling the apple carefully. Compared to before, she was even more silent. Her pale face, which was nearly transparent, was well covered by cosmetics, but could not cover up the fatigue in her movements and the haggardness in her eyes. Dad Jiang, leaning against the head of the bed, put these quiet words into her eyes, while Xixi sat in the bed, fiddling with the red apple in her hands, with bright light in her beautiful eyes, and she held the apple in front of her grandfather in her hands like offering treasures.

"Jusheng, don't bring Xixi here in the future, it's bad luck." As soon as Dad Jiang opened his mouth, Jiang Jusheng frowned and cut the peeled apples in his hand into a plate. The fragrance of fresh fruits filled the fragrance.

"Dad, what are you saying? What are you bad luck or not? That's all the superstitions of your older generation."

She took a tissue to wipe her hands, and inadvertently saw the scratch on her knee that was about to heal. She had a moment of hesitation, but she quickly returned to peace.

"When will you go back to the United States? And what happened to you and that Tang Huainan..." Dad Jiang's face was pretty good. In fact, when he was arrested and imprisoned, he had thought of committing suicide because of his relationship. This was something he didn't want to see. The momentary greed caused his baby daughter to suffer so much, and he felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.

"Dad, I don't want to talk about him in front of Xixi." Jiang Jusheng spoke very directly. She went to and from get off work this week. It seemed that the man named Tang Huainan had never appeared in her life. If it weren't for the scabbed of her knees and the traces of her heels, if it weren't for the souvenirs bought for Xixi from the aquarium, she would probably have forgotten those things in her opinion.

Dad Jiang was silent for a moment, knowing that his daughter looked soft and weak since childhood, but in fact she was even more stubborn than anyone else. In the past, he protected Jusheng and could make her suffer less, but since she was in prison, she could only rely on herself. She suffered a lot of pain and sins outside alone. Even if Jusheng didn't say it, he knew it in his heart.

"I think I still have to tell you some things." As Dad Jiang said, he took out a hard-crust album from under the pillow and pushed it in front of Jiang Jusheng. The latter raised his head in confusion and opened it, but was stunned for a moment. He turned pages and confirmed that Jiang Jusheng only felt incredible.

The entire album is full of content about Xixi. She learned to walk for the first time, changed teeth for the first time, learned to speak for the first time, and laughed for the first time. Every wonderful moment was captured. Even Jiang Jusheng herself did not have such a complete record. She turned to the last page of the album in shock, as if she didn't understand why her father in prison had these things.

Xixi was lying on the bed and fell asleep. Her adult world was abandoned by her, and her sleep was sweet and she was still bubbling with saliva at the corner of her mouth.

"These photos were all given to me by Tang Huainan." Although a year has passed, when Dad Jiang mentioned the three words Tang Huainan, his tone was still low, but it was somewhat eased. Jiang Jusheng suddenly raised his head and looked at his father, and seemed to have never thought that the answer would have something to do with that man, let alone after she thought he had never seen his daughter.

"Dad, what do you want to say?" Jiang Jusheng closed the album with a snap, and his heart beating violently, as if something she didn't know was about to break out of the cocoon.

"As for Tang Huainan, I can't completely let go of it yet. After all, he raised the man named Su outside... But later after you went to the United States, he would come to see me on time every week, regardless of rain or shine. At first I didn't see you, but he asked the prison guard to send me a photo of Xixi. Gradually, even for the sake of the photos, the meeting once a week continued. In the days after you left, I could have witnessed the change of that person step by step." Dad Jiang sighed. If it were before, Jusheng told him that she and Tang Huainan had obtained a divorce certificate, he agreed with both hands and feet, but now, he only hopes that his daughter can be happy.

"Dad, stop talking." Jiang Jusheng spoke a little tiredly, unable to connect the Tang Huainan from his father's mouth with him who was cruel to him. Her heart was really tired.

"T big things will be finished soon. I'm going to leave after Sister Shengxia's wedding. Dad... When I'm not here, you must take care of yourself. The matter of reducing sentence has been almost the same. When you come out, I will pick you up." Her voice was choked, and she still didn't cry.

Dad Jiang glanced at her and just sighed silently. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them go.

******************************************

"I said how much do you want to drink? Are you going to drink yourself to death?" In the dim and noisy bar, Ke Jingcheng snatched the wine glass from Tang Huainan's hand, and the amber liquid spread on his hand. Tang Huainan, who was as shaped like a withered, silently picked up the wine glass in front of Ke Jingcheng, drank it all in one go, and coughed suddenly. Seeing this, Ke Jingcheng smashed the wine glass on the bar with a loud bang, and his suit was wide open, looking at the haggard man who was no longer human. If he was drunk at this time, he would be able to carry him home directly, but Tang Huainan became more and more silent as he drank, making him helpless!

Tang Huainan didn't say anything from beginning to end. He had been in the bar for a week. He went back when it was dawn and came when it was dark, and was on time like standing guard.

"If you want to see her, go see her. What's the point of divorce? Wouldn't it be better to catch the person back?" When Ke Jingcheng said this, he took out Tang Huainan's cell phone and acted to dial Jiang Jusheng's number. Tang Huainan snatched it back more quickly than him and threw it on the table with a snap. The screen was smashed by force.

"You... OK, just continue to be a slut here!" Ke Jingcheng was also angry and turned around and left the bar, leaving Tang Huainan alone to continue drinking. The front of the black shirt was open, and the bronze skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat in the hazy light of the bar. The wide and thick palms held the wine glass tightly and simmered. The amber liquid slid down along the thin lips, with indescribable decadence and attractiveness.

However, the girls who came forward to meet him were shocked by his cold eyes. Over time, no opposite sex dared to approach him again.

When Jiang Jusheng and her two American colleagues came to the bar, it was already a little late.

She didn't want to come at first, but she couldn't resist the warm invitation from the two of them. In addition, she felt really depressed. After coaxing Xixi to bed, she finally came out with them.

The nights in T City are flashy and noisy. Because the day off is approaching, there are many people in the bar, and basically the places where you can sit are full of people. Jiang Jusheng is in this noisy atmosphere, and the temples are beating and painful. After all, she regrets it after all. She was about to say hello and say she goes back first, but the two colleagues have found a seat and waved their hands excitedly.

As soon as Jiang Jusheng sat down, he realized something was wrong. The bar was so lively that it was hard to find a place to stay, but there were still seats on the bar counter. It must be because of the drunk man who was lying on the table next to him. Jiang Jusheng carefully opened the distance with his back to him, not wanting to cause trouble for himself. His colleague was already happily lit up the bartender. She thought about it and finally only had a glass of orange juice.

But he didn't notice that when he was talking, the man lying on the table next to him suddenly stiffened his back, and even the muscles of his arm, whose cuffs were rolled up and exposed outside, became tensed.

Unlike the open Americans, although they have lived abroad for so long, they are still conservative oriental in their bones. They bite the straw and drink orange juice. In order to avoid any contact with the drunkard behind them, their backs are straight and straight. She sat there gracefully, her simple and elegant outfit contrasts with the girls around her, and soon attracted the attention of many lustful men.

The two colleagues around him walked towards the crowded direction under the excuse of going to the bathroom. Two seats were quickly vacant at the bar, which made the men who had already prepared were eager to try.

Half a minute passed, Jiang Jusheng saw that the two colleagues had already kissed someone passionately in the corner, shook his head and pushed the orange juice in front, stood up and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, a pair of frivolous arms from behind pressed on her shoulders, forcing her to stand up to stop.

"Miss, are you here alone? Are you interested in having a drink with me?" The frivolous tone floated with the smell of whiskey. Jiang Jusheng looked unhappy, shook the other person's arm and glared at him. The person who came was obviously drunk. A few men began to whistle not far away, and it was probably a group of people. It looked more like they were out for fun.

Jiang Jusheng didn't say anything, and stood up and wanted to walk towards the door, but the drunk man pressed her into the bar seat again, and even reached out to force the whiskey in the cup into her mouth, yelling and laughing. The people next to him seemed to have been accustomed to it, not to mention that these people had backgrounds in the dark street, so who dared to mess with them?

"Get out." Jiang Jusheng dodged away in a little embarrassing manner, and the shirt inevitably had a small piece of wet.

Just as everyone was waiting to watch the show, the man who had been lying on the table who looked drunk suddenly stood up, Jiang Jusheng, who was facing her back to him, naturally had no time to notice. Before she could shout the second sentence, she felt a cold wind blowing behind her, and then a fierce fist passed through her and fell directly on the face of the man who had just drunk her. Everyone heard a loud bang, and the man could not get up.
