Chapter 433 Hero

A few days later, in the inpatient department of the hospital, early in the morning.

After knowing that he was fine, Chen Shu felt much more at ease. In addition to secretly telling myself a few words when I wake up every day, "I won't do this next time", "I only have one life", and "I haven't asked for a wife to have children and support my parents yet", my life is considered leisurely.

At this time, he was lying on the hospital bed, happily eating the fresh apples sent by Chen's mother yesterday while scrolling through Douyin on his mobile phone.

"Captain Chen." Pu Shu, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door and walked in, greeted him and sat down on the edge of the bed.

This young man, who is delicate and sensitive, was persuaded by Chen Shu for a long time when he came to visit several times. Looking at his current demeanor, he should have come out of the shadow of the last fire accident.

Chen Shu took out an apple from the bag on the bedside table and threw it over. He smiled and said, "Wash it and eat it. Why are you free to come here today? Are you not at work?"

Pu Shu took the apple, gnawed it down, and said calmly: "Captain Chen, I have resigned."

Resign?

Chen Shu gritted his teeth on half of the apple, then took a big bite and ate it for a long time.

"Well, that's good. The job of cooperating with the police is really not a long-term solution."

"That's not the reason."

Chen Shu took a few more bites of the apple: "Well, there's always a reason."

Pu Shu asked: "Captain Chen, didn't you want to ask me why I wanted to resign?"

Chen Shu wrapped the leftover apple cores in paper towels and put them on the bedside table. He smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. You are already in your twenties. Do you still want to ask others when doing things? But if you are willing to talk to me, If you chat, I think I would be a good listener.”

Pu Shu chuckled, then bit into the apple a few times, finished the apple quickly, wrapped the remaining apple core in paper towels according to Chen Shu's method, and placed it gently on the bedside table.

He looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and seemed to be recalling: "Captain Chen. In fact, I have admired heroes since I was a child, and I also thought that I could be a hero when I grow up. But I couldn't get good grades, and I didn't take the exam when I grew up. I had to go to the police, so I had to come over and be a auxiliary police officer to have a taste of it.

"Although I put on a police uniform, sometimes I naively thought that I really became a policeman who eliminates violence. But in fact, I am just a fake policeman wearing a police uniform."

Chen Shu wanted to explain, but he couldn't bear it.

Pu Shu stopped and listened to the crisp chirping of birds outside the window. After a while, he spoke again: "Later, my family put pressure on me to quit this dead-end job. Everyone stopped me at that time. Just your cold consent to let me go."

On the eve of the competition, Pushu's mother came to the work unit to force him to resign. However, he still withstood the pressure and delayed for a while, trying to get excellent results in the competition to block the opposition of his family.

"Cold?" Chen Shu was stunned, but still laughed, "Am I so unkind?"

"Yeah." Pu Shu responded honestly, pulling his eyes back from the window and looking at his respected captain, "I complained about you afterwards. I felt that you had no comradeship. You are worthy of being a leader from the police station. ”

Chen Shu touched his nose and said nothing.

Pu Shu lowered his head, twisted his hands for a long time, and then said: "Until last week, I followed you and everyone went to put out the fire. That day, you also knew that I was rushing upstairs to save people."

Chen Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I can feel it. Your attitude is quite firm."

Pu Shu lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth, not letting Chen Shu see his expression of whether he was smiling or not crying: "Captain Chen, you stopped me. Well, you stopped me well. I stood downstairs behind and watched helplessly. Do you know what I was thinking when I saw you jumping from the balcony on the fourth floor? "

Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and remembered the scene when he decided to jump off the fourth floor balcony.

He held the little boy in his arms and stood on the balcony facade with his back against the wall. He was facing thick smoke, and two meters away from the next balcony were the flames that were constantly spraying. Behind him was the cold wind.

Closing my eyes, I felt like I was back to that time again.

He held the little boy in his right hand and looked down at the road below.

The old building is very tall, and the limbs are very weak.

That feeling is fear.

"It's fear." Pu Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said firmly, "At that time, I put myself in your position in my heart, and my heart was full of fear. Standing downstairs, I was always glad that I listened to you. Ordered, ran upstairs to save people without impulse."

Instead of caring about face like young people, Pushu expressed his feelings as if he were facing his elders, even though it was full of shameful fear and avoidance.

Chen Shu opened his eyes and stared at the former SWAT team member in front of him with a vicissitude in his tone that was completely inconsistent with his young appearance.

He tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak. Because his first reaction at the time was also fear. Until today, a week later, I still wake up from my dreams at night. When I touched the quilt covering me and the bedding underneath, they were both wet.

People say that Chen Shu is a "Desperate Saburo", but only he knows that his reverence for life makes him rather be a coward.

At this point, Pu Shu changed his tone and became more relaxed: "Captain Chen, I have figured it out. I cannot be a real policeman like a hero. If I am given another chance to encounter this fire scene, I will definitely be scared. Haha, I will definitely be scared.”

In fact, you are not a coward. At that time, you took the initiative to go upstairs to save people, which was much braver than most people. Chen Shu had a look of regret on his face, but he was still not prepared to say anything to persuade people to stay in the team.

It must have been decided that Pu Shu could come over today. Chen Shu could feel that Pu Shu came here today not only to say goodbye to Chen Shu as the captain, but also to say goodbye to his own past, and to end his dream of being a police officer since he was a child.

Chen Shu nodded: "Although you have left the police force, in your future work and life, I believe that the police will be hidden in every corner of your heart. Pushu, police are not necessarily heroes, but heroes are It doesn’t have to be the police either.

"When you get married in the future, you who make money to support your family will also be a hero in the eyes of your wife and children. Including your parents, they are getting older and will slowly rely on you to take care of them. After they In my eyes, no matter how great a hero you are, they are not as good as you who take care of your family."

Pu Shu nodded in understanding, then felt relieved, patted his chest, and said, "Captain Chen, actually I don't regret it."

Yes, Pu Shu will definitely not regret his years as a policeman, nor will he regret his resignation today. As long as he can continue to walk firmly on the path he has chosen.

After thinking for a while, Chen Shu turned over and pulled out a pair of police training uniforms from under the bed, and tore off the adhesive armband with the word "police" written on it.

He held Pu Shu's hand with his left hand, pressed the armband firmly into his palm with his right hand, and said earnestly: "Once a policeman, always a policeman. I wish you a safe journey in the future, and come back to see everyone when you have time."

Pu Shu burst into tears and nodded heavily.

Stand up and salute.

Not long after Pu Shu left the ward, Zhang Yang walked in.

During the week that Chen Shu was hospitalized, Zhang Yang came to visit him every day. No matter how busy he was at work or how late it was, she would always come. Chen Shu, a straight man, can be amazed by the style he dresses up every time.

She was wearing a long skirt with a waistband, and a ribbon outlined her slim waist. Her waist was slimmed down, and her plump breasts were highlighted. This figure made Chen Shu, who had always been a gentleman, a little unable to control himself.

Zhang Yang jumped lightly to Chen Shu's bedside with his hands behind his back and leaned against him, his clear eyes curved into crescent moons: "Brother Shu, do you know what I brought you today?"

Chen Shu came to his senses from the shock and said with some embarrassment: "You really don't need to give me food, I have everything here."

"What are you thinking about! I'm a big reporter from Dongzhou, and what I'm bringing you isn't small things like food and drinks. Hey, the gift I gave you is something that all the men in Dongzhou dream of. Do you want to take a guess? "

It couldn't be you. Chen Shu didn't know why such an inappropriate thought suddenly popped into his mind. He quickly blinked and focused his attention on Zhang Yang again.

Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously and moved a little closer to Chen Shu. The unique fragrance of a mature woman on his body made Chen Shu, who could not avoid it, feel his heart fluttering slightly.

"Brother Shu, wasn't your previous nickname 'Desperate Saburo'? Now you have to change it." Zhang Yang whispered in Chen Shu's ear, and the breath exhaled from his small mouth touched Chen Shu's sensitive ear. , there was also a hint of naughty joking in his tone.

After saying that, he took a step back and looked outside the room.

Zhang Yang's nearness and distance made Chen Shu, who almost fell, let out a long breath and followed her gaze towards the door.

The door was opened from the outside, and a large portrait that looked like an oil painting with frames on all sides was carried in from the outside.

The oil painting was very large, and people outside worked on it for a long time before slowly bringing it into the ward.

Chen Shu stared at the portrait and couldn't help but sit up straight.

In the painting with the road clearly in the background, a special police officer wearing a black training uniform has his hands wrapped around his chest, lying quietly on several quilts as if holding some treasure.

The face blackened by the fireworks was as firm as a sculpture, but the eyes looking at the little boy in his arms were extremely soft, showing no regrets after being relieved. The other police officers and people standing nearby wiped their eyes and cried like children.

"This is me? Why do I look like I'm dead?" Chen Shu pointed at his nose with his right hand and asked in surprise.

"It's not over yet!"

Zhang Yang jumped up to the door and asked Xiao Zhao, who was holding the painting, to move a little further into the ward. Then he took it from outside the door and walked in holding a banner with red letters on a gold background.

There are only two big red letters on the pennant, as if they were cast with blood.

Only two words, not much.

But it’s loud and clear.
