Chapter 21 I am more afraid of the affection of tsundere men

Under the TV station building, Ling Xiao stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.

A large group of white-collar workers poured out of the subway station not far away and quickly dispersed.

During work hours, everyone looks in a hurry.

Zhu Shan made no move to get out of the car. She grabbed the bag on her leg, her eyes were distracted, she frowned and bit her lip.

Ling Xiao saw that she was absent-minded and had many thoughts, but he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Specifically, since last night, he felt that her words were out of tune as if she had drunk fake wine.

Ling Xiao didn't bother to guess and asked directly, "What are you thinking about?"

"..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ling Xiao put his hand on her forehead and teased, "It's not hot."

Zhu Shan's face immediately burned up.

She felt the warmth of his hand, which seemed to carry an electric current, burning the skin inch by inch along her forehead.

Instinctively, he ducked to the side, "Don't do this."

Ling Xiao, "???" What kind?

Zhu Shan lowered her head, raised her eyelids and glanced at Ling Xiao, then quickly got out of the car.

She walked very fast, as if the soles of her shoes were greased.

Suddenly, a big hug came from behind.

He was picked up while running. Zhu Shan staggered two steps due to the impact.

Her mood exploded instantly. So he expanded his arms and broke away from the embrace, "Don't do this."

Her sharp voice attracted the attention of those around her.

Wu Jing was holding a black leather briefcase, her hands were still separated, and her face was a little embarrassed.

Zhu Shan's eyes changed, and she quickly stepped forward to apologize, "I'm sorry, Sister Jing, I thought... thought... I didn't know it was you."

Wu Jing was a little depressed and felt like a slut.

Zhu Shanla said with a cross face, "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Wu Jing quickly regained her composure, put her arm around Zhu Shan's shoulders and walked towards the TV station building. "Your reaction, does this mean you met a pervert?"

satyr?

Not really.

Zhu Shan was dejected, "No, I was just thinking about something and didn't react."

"Thank you for seeing me off last night, little Shanshan."

"You're welcome, you should."

"By the way, I remember your neighbor brother is here?"

Speaking of Ling Xiao, Zhu Shan's ears turned red and she let out a soft "hmm".

Wu Jing's tone became excited, "I just remembered this morning, is he Ling Xiao from Lingdu Law Firm?"

Actually know each other?

But thinking about it, Ling Xiao seems to be quite famous, and since they are journalists, it is not surprising that they know each other.

Wu Jing saw her in a daze and urged her to answer, "Is it Ling Xiao? Really?"

"yes."

"Why do you say he is ugly?"

"..." Zhu Shan thought for two seconds and said, "His appearance is not in my aesthetic point."

"That's your problem."

"I..." Zhu Shan blinked her big eyes, speechless.

Wu Jing swiped her card, waited for Zhu Shan to come in, lined up in front of the elevator, and put her arms around her shoulders, "Ling Xiao has just started to become famous. In addition to his arrogance, there is also his appearance. No matter how weird this aesthetic is, it can't be Connect him with 'ugliness', right?"

Weird aesthetic?

Zhu Shan lost her temper and changed the subject, "Was he very arrogant when he was famous? Did he get into a fight?"

"Don't you know?"

Zhu Shan smiled awkwardly, "I haven't been in Yuhe in recent years, so I don't know much about him."

"His first famous case was when a second-generation rich man hit someone in an accident, dragged the person to the side of the road and escaped, eventually killing the person. The prosecutor's office said it would prosecute him for intentional homicide. This kind of confirmed case will never happen again. No lawyer dares to accept the money."

Zhu Shan, "He answered?"

"Not only did he answer it, but he also said that he would definitely win the case. He was young and unknown at the time, so no one would pay attention to him, but because he had a good skin, he got attention."

"Then what?"

"Then under the attention, he really won the case and became famous immediately." Seeing the elevator arrive, Wu Jing pulled Zhu Shan and squeezed in, her voice lowered, "Later, he specialized in the kind of lawsuits that had no chance of winning. Received, won, and became famous.”

"..."

"He is really arrogant. He looks arrogant and behaves arrogantly. However, in recent years, he has only litigated cases for wealthy people. Alas... As a lawyer, he can call everything black and white. He only believes in I don’t recognize the money..." Wu Jing suddenly realized the relationship between Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao, her voice stopped suddenly, and she looked at Zhu Shan apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just... I didn't mean to... ..”

Zhu Shan shook her head numbly, "It doesn't matter."

However, she suddenly felt like she was pinched by ants, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

The elevator door opened, and Zhu Shan and Wu Jing walked out.

Zhu Shan suddenly stopped, looked at Wu Jing and whispered, "Sister Jing, the lawyer's duty is to defend the client."

"???"

"So, that's his job."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Jing responded awkwardly, quickly took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Zhu Shan.

It is the business card of a hot spring hotel owner.

The address is Yuling Snow Mountain, about 100 kilometers away from Yuhe City.

Zhu Shan didn't know why, "Are you going to play?"

"Aren't you looking for your idol reporter uncle?"

Zhu Shan blinked and took the business card excitedly, "You mean, this is the boss?"

Seeing Wu Jing nodding, Zhu Shan hugged her immediately, "That's great! Sister Jing, you are great! Thank you so much! Thank you very much!"

"Seeing that you are happy, we are all friends."

Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment because of the word 'friend', and then softly said "hmm".

Zhu Shan checked in, put her bag at her workstation, and without even turning on her computer, she took her cell phone and business card to the end of the corridor to make a call.

When the call was connected, I could hear the voice of a mature man on the other side.

Zhu Shan suppressed the excitement in her heart, "Hello, Boss Zhao, I plan to go to Yuling Snow Mountain this weekend and would like to book your hotel."

Zhao Yu sounded apologetic, "I'm sorry, the weekends are fully booked, and there are only rooms available on Friday."

Friday?

That's tomorrow.

Zhu Shan thought for a while and asked for an hour off tomorrow afternoon to rush there. She could come back on Saturday.

If it doesn't work out, you can stay in other hotels when the time comes.

She immediately agreed, "Friday is fine too, I'll reserve a room with a double bed."

"If you book on Friday, please explain in advance that you must vacate the room before two o'clock on Saturday afternoon."

"no problem."

"Okay, then we need to pay a deposit of 500 yuan first."

Just as Zhu Shan wanted, she hurriedly said, "Boss Zhao, let me add you on WeChat and transfer the deposit to you."

"Okay, just add this mobile phone number."

Zhu Shan hung up the phone, immediately added Zhao Yu's WeChat account, and transferred a 500 deposit.

She scrolled through his circle of friends, and all they found were hotel promotional pictures or videos, nothing else.

Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Zhu Shan returned to her work station and turned on her computer. After doing some work, she remembered what Wu Jing said in the morning.

She thought for a while, opened the web page, and looked up the hit-and-run lawsuit that made Ling Xiao famous.

Probably the rich second generation hit someone, dragged the injured person to the side of the road, and then ran away. The injured person was already dead when he was discovered by passers-by.

Ling Xiao used the inability to confirm the time of death of the deceased as a breakthrough, and finally determined that it was a traffic accident, not even a death caused by escape.

Finally, the rich second generation gave a large sum of money to the family of the deceased and obtained a letter of understanding from the family of the deceased.

The rich second generation who originally faced life imprisonment or death penalty were only sentenced to 3 years in the end.

Most of the comment sections under these news are criticizing Ling Xiao. After all, this kind of thing is just to make netizens laugh.

However, there are also some professionals who have analyzed this case in depth as an example.

Zhu Shan was in a complicated mood and closed the web page without reading much.

When she was about to get off work, Zhu Shan suddenly felt nervous.

Because she remembered Ling Xiao touching her forehead in the car in the morning.

How awkward it would be to meet at night.

Zhu Shan thought about it and decided to stay and work overtime.

Wu Jing has already packed her things, "Shanshan, let's take the subway together."

"No." Zhu Shan pursed her lips, "I'll work overtime for a while."

Suddenly the cell phone on the table beeped twice.

Ling Xiao: [Work overtime]

Zhu Shan stood up instantly, stuffed the mobile phone charger into her bag, and called to Wu Jing who was about to go out, "Sister Jing, wait for me!"

...

Zhu Shan went home after dinner and went straight to her room after washing.

It was almost early in the morning, and it started to rain outside the window.

Zhu Shan got up and closed the window, then went to the toilet.

Ling Xiao hasn't come back yet.

Could it be that she resisted too much this morning and hurt him?

Zhu Shan didn't sleep well all night, either because she had insomnia or because she had some weird dreams.

The first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning is grab her backpack and load it with a change of clothes.

Then I went to the bathroom to wash up.

Zhu Shan walked out of the room and yawned. Before she could close her mouth, she saw Ling Xiao from the corner of her eye.

Her heart skipped a beat and her feet stopped.

Ling Xiao sat there as usual, eating breakfast when it was time to eat breakfast, and playing with his mobile phone when it was time to do so.

But there are actually steamed buns on the table! ! !

Ah ah ah ah ah!

It can’t be sauced pork buns! ! !

Just when Zhu Shan was about to cry but had no tears left, Ling Xiao raised his eyes, "Why are you so stupid?"

Zhu Shan shook her head and walked to the bathroom.

She was not stupid, and she even wanted to tell Ling Xiao not to be stupid again.

She would not be moved.

Zhu Shan had a hard time eating this breakfast, especially when she bit into the stuffing of the buns and almost cried when she found out that it was really sauced pork.

From time to time, she raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Ling Xiao. Seeing how he deliberately pretended not to care, she seemed to be able to feel his sadness.

After all, I have done so much, but I cannot express it in words.

Afraid of affection from men, and even more afraid of affection from tsundere men.

...

Zhu Shan told Qu Lianjie yesterday that she would take an hour's leave and turn off the computer immediately when the time came.

Seeing her carrying a backpack, Wu Jing was a little surprised, "Where are you going?"

"Yuling Snow Mountain."

"Are you going skiing?" Before Zhu Shan could answer, Wu Jing seemed to realize it, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Are you going to find your idol? Chasing stars, right?"

Zhu Shan snapped her fingers, "Yes."

"Okay, okay, have fun."

Zhu Shan waved goodbye to her, took a taxi to the station, and got on the last bus on time.

The drive takes about two and a half hours.

She hadn't slept well in the past two days. On the bus, Zhu Shan fell into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until she heard the bustling sound in her ears.

The people next to me were getting ready to get off.

Zhu Shan rubbed her sore shoulders and neck and saw darkness outside the window, like a wheat field or wild reeds.

The bus slowly entered the station and the surrounding area lit up.

The station is very simple, with only a roof and ventilation all around.

The surrounding area is like a barren mountain with no lights at all.

Zhu Shan got off the car with the crowd.

Except for her, there were all young people in groups, talking and laughing.

After walking for five minutes, we arrived at a station waiting hall. We walked through and saw many vans parked outside.

Zhu Shan booked a car in advance, so she took out her mobile phone to contact the driver. At this time, she saw unread WeChat messages and missed calls.

There were five missed calls, all from Ling Xiao.

WeChat was also sent by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao: [Do you want to work overtime? 】

Ling Xiao: [Reply message quickly]

Zhu Shan glanced at the top of her phone. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

She didn't work overtime today, so she forgot to send a message to Ling Xiao.

Just as she was about to type, her phone suddenly vibrated.

A series of calls came from an unknown phone number.

Zhu Shan picked up and heard in dialect, "Little sister, have you arrived at the station? I see many people have arrived."

Zhu Shan hurriedly walked out, "I'm here, where are you?"

According to the driver's instructions and license plate number, Zhu Shan quickly found the driver.

It was a small black car, and the driver asked in a friendly manner, "Don't you have any luggage?"

"No, I'm just going to play here for the day."

"How can one day be enough? It takes at least two days to climb the front mountain and the back mountain."

Zhu Shan got into the car and said, "Let's watch again."

The driver is a local and enthusiastic. He introduced Zhu Shan to interesting and delicious places along the way.

She also said that the hot spring hotel she chose was halfway up the mountain behind it. It was small in scale, out of the way and far away from the scenic spot, so it was not a good hotel.

Zhu Shan just smiled and said nothing.

She wasn't here to play in the first place.

As the vehicle entered the mountainous area, the driver said again, "Your order is my last order today. It is foggy and sometimes icy in the mountains at night, which is dangerous."

Zhu Shan, "Master, please pay attention to safety when going down the mountain."

After officially entering the winding mountain road, the driver began to concentrate on driving and stopped talking.

Zhu Shan took out her phone and unlocked it, which was the chat page with Ling Xiao.

Before I could reply to the message just now, I was interrupted by the driver's call.

Zhu Shan typed quickly [I won’t reply tonight, I’m in Yuling Snow Mountain...]

Suddenly, a pop-up window popped up in the center of the phone.

——The phone only has 2% power left, please charge it immediately.

Zhu Shan's heart skipped a beat, so she closed the pop-up window and wanted to continue typing.

She keenly felt the phone vibrate in her hand.

Then, the screen went black.
