"But, this world isn’t simply black and white, right and wrong can’t be so easily stated! The lines between them are inherently blurred! There is also a gray area in between! Human nature is complex! It’s not as if soone does sothing wrong and we must completely deny them!"
"Our job is to highlight black and white, to clearly prove right and wrong."
"But you yourself have said, there shouldn’t be too much personal emotion in articles. Your views on black and white, your sense of right and wrong, that’s just your perspective. How can you guarantee that you are right? That others are wrong? That’s just your personal opinion!"
He turned to look at her, "As a journalist, if you don’t have a correct sense of right and wrong, don’t you think you should start over? Besides, don’t we have anyone to review our articles?"
Tu Hengsha thought his statents were as cold and unfeeling as he was. She recalled Ge Yun, another woman who made mistakes. Yet, after witnessing the inhumane beating, Tu Hengsha felt great sympathy for her.
"Did you see what happened to Ge Yun?" she asked.
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"Sympathetic, but wrong is wrong!"
The answer was slightly better than expected; she thought this super straightforward guy might echo Ge Yun’s granny’s sayings. She admitted Ge Yun was indeed at fault, but a pitiful person is truly pitiful.
"If it were ..." he suddenly began again.
"What?"
"Nothing." He stopped talking...
"What?"
He looked at her, "If it were , knowing I couldn’t care for or protect a woman, I’d let go. A hopeless entanglent is crueler than a brutal abandonnt."
"..." It was the first ti she’d heard Mr. Su say sothing so emotional, it shocked her speechless.
After he finished speaking, he seed uncomfortable and waved his hand, "Go to bed early!"
"..." But this was clearly her room! Was Mr. Su confused?
She didn’t know how she ended up falling asleep, originally sitting by the bed. Then she dozed off, occasionally hearing the faint sound of typing, yet it didn’t wake her.
When she awoke and looked at her phone, it was 6 AM, the room unusually quiet, as if the keyboard sounds from last night had been a dream.
She sat up and saw him sleeping at the desk.
So, he got tired too, bending his back...
She quietly got up, picked up the quilt, gently draped it over his shoulders, then quietly went to the bathroom.
He had, however, lifted his head.
Did he pretend to be dead? How could he not wake up when such a heavy quilt covered him?
Yet, he couldn’t scold her for it; in fact, he didn’t even wake while she was still there.
Since third grade, no one had treated him this way again. That year when a puppy was beaten to death, he fell ill, fevers making him delirious. Naturally, the family called a doctor, got dicine, but he took it himself, waking from nightmares in the middle of the night, finding the quilt on the floor, he cried into his pillow alone. His mother, at that ti, was with Su Rongxing, worried about scaring him.
He understood her, but he only understood her.
When Tu Hengsha ca out of the bathroom, the room was empty, the quilt returned neatly to the bed.
Just left like that?
She casually turned on the TV to watch this morning’s news.
The local TV station reported that last night the police raided a prostitution ring, arresting several won. They blurred their faces, but she imdiately recognized that magenta dress.
