Barrier of Light

light rain.

Light rain.

Falling in the car, covered by soft and soothing piano music, everything is very quiet, only the sound of the windshield wiper slowly pushing.

Gu Shen sat in the co-pilot, breathed out with his palms through his sleeves, wiped the side glass, looked at the tall buildings flowing backwards, and the increasingly empty isolation belt. The car drove onto the highway and headed towards the remote and desolate suburbs.

"Wulao Mountain... why do you want to go to such a remote place?"

Nanjin's windbreaker was taken off and stacked in the back seat. She didn't wear the tight combat uniform under the windbreaker all the time. For informal casual occasions like today, she wore a snow-white shirt with washed jeans , perhaps because of his upright posture, the shirt is very tight, and the red hair is tied up in a bun. She looks nothing to do with violent madness, but more like an intellectual and gentle senior.

"Didn't you read my file, you should know." Gu Shen held a sleeping orange cat in his arms, and said with a smile, "That's where I grew up."

Nan Jin was startled.

Of course she knew that Gu Shen grew up in an orphanage...but the name of that orphanage was...

"Chenguang Orphanage." Gu Shen scratched his head, "It's a tacky name, it's normal if you can't remember it. The gentleman who sponsors the Orphanage is named Zhou Chenguang, so we named it after him."

The location of the Chenguang Welfare Institute is very remote. The icon marked on the map is near the valley of Wulao Mountain. This distance... It takes three and a half hours to drive from the city of Dayeng.

"Why do you want to come here all of a sudden?"

"Actually, my idea is very simple."

Gu Shen said seriously, "If the review can be successfully completed, I should start to perform the task, right? I may be very busy in the future. There are people who are very important to me here. If I can't see each other for a long time If so... I want to say goodbye now."

"And there is..." Gu Shen whispered: "The mother-in-law in the orphanage is very kind to me. She hasn't made a name for herself in two years, so she has never been ashamed to go back."

Nan Jin nodded, expressing her understanding.

The trunk is full of packaged fresh fruits, organic vegetables, two cartons of milk and a large basket of eggs.

"Later, I thought about it. In fact, it shouldn't be like this. No matter how bad things are, I should go back and see my mother-in-law and the others." Gu Shen said, "It's just that every time I think about the scene of leaving, I feel ashamed... ...The mother-in-law said with confidence, I have a good head and a smart mind, and I will definitely do well in the future and stand out in the world."

"Aren't you an outstanding person now?" Nan Jin said seriously: "Those salarymen in Datang City can earn 10,000 yuan a month, which is already very impressive, and your current card has 500,000 lying in it. It’s the income they can save for ten years.”

"...When you put it that way, I seem to have the illusion that I'm powerful." Gu Shen adjusted his seat, leaned back, and muttered, "Actually, this money has nothing to do with me... just It's like winning the first prize in a lottery ticket, it came out of nowhere."

"Don't say that, this is your income from selling yourself, and it is not the same as buying a lottery ticket." Nan Jin raised her eyebrows: "If you have to use an analogy, you can understand this money as the introduction fee of the oiran a long time ago. , Seeing that the oiran's guests spend a lot of money, if they think you are worth the money, then you are worth the money."

"500,000...I'm really worth it." Gu Qian asked with some concern, wringing his fingers: "If the audit results are not good, Mr. Shu won't let me spit out the money, right?"

Hearing this, Nan Jin almost laughed out loud.

"It's only half a million... Sprinkle the water." She waved her hand, "Follow the brothers and sisters and work hard, this money is nothing."

"That's good……"

Gu Shen paused, then said slowly: "I'm going to donate all the money, is that okay?"

The bad woman was driving the car very attentively. Hearing this, she didn't react, but said lightly: "Of course... This is already your money. It's your freedom to spend it however you want without my consent. But If I remember correctly, you don’t have any savings, and this money can buy you a lot of things, so don’t you want to donate it all?”

"Actually, I still have some money in my account, and I don't have anything to buy... Anyway, you pay the rent, including food and drink..."

Gu Shen smiled.

"My mother-in-law sent me a message a few days ago, saying that the walls of the orphanage are leaking and the roof has collapsed again."

"When I was six years old, the roof was made of mud. At that time, water leaked frequently. If I was unlucky and the roof broke during the rainy season, I couldn't read or sleep all day."

Gu Shen said a lot without knowing it, and quickly realized something was wrong, and said with a smile: "... All in all, it's very bad."

"..."

Nan Jin was silent for a while.

She originally wanted to say something to refute Gu Shen's words...but then she found that she had nothing to say, because Gu Shen was right, but she was born in the most prosperous and richest metropolitan area of ​​Dongzhou, where every inch of land Inch of gold, some skyscrapers soaring into the sky, in the cold steel jungle, no matter how hard you search, it is impossible to find the kind of simple mud house that Gu Shen talked about.

"Doesn't the parliament allocate funds every year?" Nan Jin asked in a low voice, "There are also some foundations..."

Gu Shen shook his head, just smiled and didn't say much.

Nan Jin suddenly realized that the world might not be as beautiful as she imagined.

There are always places where the light doesn't shine.

She said softly, "Now you have money."

"Yes, I have money." Gu Shen grinned: "These are not things anymore."

"It's nice to have money... Adding money can fix everything."

"If it's not enough, I can help, and it's just a little effort." Nan Jin lowered her eyes and said softly, "Actually, I'm richer than you think."

Gu Shen was startled.

Is this the legendary rich woman with beautiful legs?

It's just too fierce, I can't afford to provoke him.

"No, no, no, I have enough money from selling myself. If I owe you any more favors, I don't know how to repay them." Gu Shen declined with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness."
