Chapter 34 Teach her to fish

Zhu Shan went back to the room. She walked very fast and closed the door loudly.

Ling Xiao chuckled and raised his head slightly to look at the circle of lights reflected on the ceiling, like the silhouette of a mandala flower.

What Zhu Shan said just now was in his mind.

——Lawyers exist not to uphold justice, but to uphold the dignity of the law.

These words reminded him of an old professor at the university.

When the old professor learned that Ling Xiao was preparing to take the judicial examination, he told Ling Xiao that being a lawyer is a profession that tests one's humanity.

This profession is related to people's vital interests, so there is a lot of discussion and even controversy in the social environment.

He said that the law is a ruler, and the reason why it is cold and impersonal is that it requires extreme fairness and justice.

All emotional logic cannot be fair and just, so the law exists.

He told Ling Xiao that if he chose to be a lawyer, he would spend his whole life defending the dignity of the law.

Finally, he reminded Ling Xiao to have firm beliefs, practice for the people, uphold the rule of law, pursue justice, abide by integrity, and be diligent and dedicated.

Ling Xiao always kept it in mind.

However, if he wants to quickly become famous in the industry, he must take on cases that are well-known by others. This is destined to make him stand at the forefront and be judged by others.

It's not that he didn't know what those people said to him.

Say he is snobbish, say he only recognizes money and not people, and says he confuses right and wrong.

Since he chose the profession of lawyer, he, like other lawyers, has long been mentally prepared to meet these gossips.

At most, it means that he has more people.

There are more situations like today.

He didn't care, as long as he knew what he was doing.

These were all Zhu Shan’s thoughts before what he said just now.

When those understanding words came out of Zhu Shan's mouth, he found that he still cared.

At least he was happy to be understood by her.

Ling Xiao thought about what she had just done and couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.

His chest trembled for a while before he stopped smiling.

He raised his head slightly again, raised his eyebrows, and tapped his fingers slowly on the table, "The fish is about to take the bait, why did you suddenly take the bait?"

The movements of his fingertips paused, the smile on his lips widened again, and Ling Xiao said word by word, "Zhu! Shan! Shan!"

****

Zhu Shan was nestled in bed and sent a WeChat message to Ling Yue.

Zhu Shan: [I feel a little broken! 】

Soon, Ling Yue responded to the message.

Ling Yue: [What’s wrong? 】

Zhu Shan: [When I face him recently, my heart beats faster, my head feels dizzy, and I’m extremely nervous. 】

Ling Yue: [What are you afraid of? 】

Afraid?

Not really!

Zhu Shan directly pressed the talk button and explained, "It's not that I'm afraid. I can't explain what it feels like. As soon as he looked at me, I wanted to run away. I wanted to roll around and crawl away, like carrying a train in the middle of the night." "

This time, he waited for more than a minute before Ling Yue responded.

Ling Yue: [Are you discriminating against him? 】

? ? ?

How could she mean this?

This kind of inexpressive chat made Zhu Shan irritated, "When did I discriminate against him? I sympathize with him but can't love him! It's sympathy!!! Why do you make me look like a white-eyed wolf?"

Ling Yue: [No need for sympathy, I wish you had more understanding. 】

Zhu Shan, "Don't I understand it enough? You don't know that every time he looks at me, it's like he wants to... pierce people's hearts!"

Ling Yue: [It’s hard for you. I will try to come back during the Dragon Boat Festival and enlighten him personally. 】

Zhu Shan posted an emoticon of lying down and crying.

Ling Yue replied with a hug emoticon.

Zhu Shan was not comforted.

Her heart was filled with panic.

It's unclear.

She sighed, threw the phone away, and did not reply to the message.

After a while, Zhu Shan's phone vibrated several times in succession.

She touched it and saw that it was Qu Lianjie's special direction for next month's news posted in the work group.

He said that he wanted to cooperate in promoting the new countryside.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to take advantage of this wheat harvest season to do a documentary interview in a small town next to Yuhe City.

When Zhu Shan heard that she was going on a business trip, she immediately signed up: [I’ll go! 】

Finally, this task was handed over to Xu Wenwen, Zhai Honghui and Zhu Shan.

The three of them formed a small group to discuss the content and direction of the shoot.

Zhu Shan talked freely inside. This was the most time he expressed his views and opinions on the filming content since he joined the company.

She suggested staying a few days longer to photograph the entire harvest process.

In fact, her selfish intention is to escape.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Shan poked her head out from under the quilt, "What are you doing?"

"Shanshan, change the dressing!"

Zhu Shan could still recall Ling Xiao's aggressive appearance just now.

She didn't want to go out, "Let's change tomorrow. I'm too tired today."

"No." Ling Xiao's tone was not strong.

But Zhu Shan could still remember him lazily leaning against the white wall outside the door with that unquestioning expression.

Zhu Shan planned to pretend to be dead.

The knock on the door rang again, accompanied by Ling Xiao's deep voice, "I'll give you five minutes to collect yourself, and then come out."

Zhu Shan was speechless. She was obviously the one who was secretly in love, so why did she feel like the roles were reversed?

Five minutes later, Zhu Shan went out obediently and saw that Ling Xiao had prepared cotton cloth, potions and other things, which made her even more depressed.

How did he get the confidence that she would definitely come out?

Also, why did she really come out...so spineless?

Zhu Shan conveniently picked up a bag of snacks and sat on the sofa, with her back to Ling Xiao, and began to eat snacks leisurely.

She found that the TV was turned on at some point and a documentary was playing.

The scene was dark, with only a shaking portable lamp and a pair of men's legs walking in the deep grass.

The voice-over is a very formal and rich male voice, "When we arrive in an unfamiliar water area, we don't know which place is better for fish, so..."

It’s actually a documentary about teaching people how to fish.

The scene slowly switched to a sparkling pond. The man in the scene took out a series of fish baits and arranged them neatly.

The voice-over continued, "If you want to successfully fish, bait is very important. Different fish species have different feeding preferences... This requires prescribing the right medicine..."

"Patience is also important...you will never catch a fish if you give up halfway..."

"You must learn to slip fish... As a fisherman, you must learn to 'yield', avoid its momentum, and give in with the flow. It is like using force to strike in martial arts. Four or two can move a thousand pounds..."

"Don't rush to catch fish..."

Just looked at it for a while.

Zhu Shan opened her little mouth slightly and murmured softly, "I really caught it."

"Have you learned it?"

Zhu Shan was stunned and turned her head slightly, "What?"

Ling Xiao, "Have you learned how to fish?"

"I don't like fishing, why should I learn it?"

Ling Xiao put the bandage on her arm and asked in a drawled tone, "You don't like it?"

Zhu Shan frowned slightly. Listening to Ling Xiao's tone, could it be that she had expressed her love for fishing when?

impossible.

She never fishes.

Seeing Ling Xiao starting to pack the medicine box, Zhu Shan stood up from the sofa, yawned and went back to the room.

She needs to sleep well and be in her best condition when traveling.

The column team quickly decided on the shooting direction, and Zhu Shan started a week-long business trip.

They filmed a combine harvesting wheat.

Photographed wheat drying.

A wheat sale transaction was filmed.

The shooting time dragged on, and it was already June when I returned to Yuhe.

When Zhu Shan returned home, she kicked off her sandals and fell directly onto the carpet in the hall.

She was so tired that she felt like all her energy and energy had been drained from her body, and she couldn't even move a finger.

This is not a shooting, it is simply an experience card for in-depth participation in farm work.

Not only did she help with the farm work, she also helped the protagonist take care of the children for a few days.

Zhu Shan closed her eyelids and thought to herself, I will just lie down for five minutes.

It was already early in the morning when Ling Xiao returned home.

He was working overtime tonight, and thinking that Zhu Shan was not here, he didn't want to go home.

He was already lying down in the lounge of the office, but he was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

These days he is used to going home to sleep.

Ling Xiao just drove home in the middle of the night without any reason.

He opened the door and found a light, and immediately guessed that Zhu Shan was back.

Ling Xiao snorted lightly, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

He changed his shoes and took only two steps when he saw Zhu Shan's figure.

She bent her legs and lay on her side on the carpet. Because she was lying on her side, her plump cheeks were pressed and her breasts were bulging out.

Ling Xiao frowned, and his first reaction was, could it be that he drank too much again?

He approached and sniffed to make sure there was no smell of alcohol, and then slowly sat on the sofa.

Ling Xiao's eyes fell on Zhu Shan's face, glancing over her long eyebrows, curled eyelashes, straight bridge of nose, and finally, the slightly raised lips.

The standing lamp next to the sofa was warm yellow, and it shone angularly on Ling Xiao's face.

Such a gentle light did not add any gentleness to him, especially when he frowned slightly, his gloomy and unruly look was natural.

He raised his hand and slowly opened the cuffs of his shirt, then the top two buttons of the collar.

After watching for a while, he stood up and walked over, sitting next to Zhu Shan.

Ling Xiao held his temples with his hands and continued to stare at Zhu Shan.

Her long hair was all tied up and tied into a bun on the top of her head. On her earlobe was a small dark green love earring.

She has no bangs, and the wound on her forehead is hard to see unless you look carefully.

Her skin was originally fair, but now it was so white that it was almost transparent under the light.

Like fine mutton fat white jade.

Therefore, a mosquito bag the size of a fingernail in the middle of the cheek is particularly conspicuous.

Ling Xiao's eyelashes trembled and he looked down.

She was wearing a loose short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts. The trouser legs were a little puffy and gathered at the mouth of the trouser legs. They looked like flower buds, and her legs were white and long.

She also had mosquito bites around her neck.

The limbs are also covered with scattered mosquito bags.

Ling Xiao's Adam's apple rolled. He rarely had such a quiet opportunity to look at her.

But he still withdrew his fiery gaze, then raised his hand and grabbed the blanket on the sofa to cover Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan was disturbed by the movement, pouted, and then frowned.

Her little hand stretched out from the blanket, went directly around her shoulder, and grabbed the right back shoulder with great purpose.

Ling Xiao immediately grabbed her hand.

Zhu Shan moved twice in discomfort, then slowly opened her eyelids.

Her vision was blurred, without focus, and she blinked several times.

She stared at Ling Xiao for two seconds, her eyes gradually widened, and then she lowered her eyes to look at her hand that was being held, and her scalp suddenly became numb.

Then he asked in a dumb voice, "W-what are you doing?"

"Do you want a scar?"

"???"

"Is the wound itchy?"

Zhu Shan thought for several seconds before reacting, and then pulled away her hand, "It's very itchy at night."

Ling Xiao stood up and soon took out an ointment.

Zhu Shan had already sat up, looking at the blanket piled around her waist in a daze.

She was still very sleepy and felt that her limbs had no strength at all, and only her eyelashes could tremble.

Ling Xiao squatted down and said calmly, "Turn around."

Zhu Shan had heard this sentence many times. She had no doubts, turned around slightly, and then lay down weakly on the coffee table.

Ling Xiao pulled her collar down a little, and the wound was fleshy red, which still looked obvious.

He gently applied ointment to her.

With the refreshing and cool touch, Zhu Shan's thoughts gradually returned.

She rested her chin on her arm, tilted her head slightly, and said in a somewhat plaintive tone, "I haven't taken a shower yet."

Ling Xiao paused with his fingers, "I'll apply it to you again later."

At this point, Zhu Shan agreed to stop the application this time and wait until she finished taking a shower before applying again.

She leaned on the floor and bent her legs to stand up, but when her arms felt the force, she sat down again.

"Apply it now so you don't scratch it."

Zhu Shan, "..."

"You can also apply mosquito bags to relieve the itching."

Zhu Shan lay down on the coffee table again and said lazily "Oh".

In June, the column team had to free up time for "promoting the new countryside", so it became free.

During this period, Zhu Shan thought of Fang Xinnuo frequently.

But she knew very well that if Fang Xinnuo was unwilling to resist, she would only have the heart to save others.

She could only read Yang Maoxue's interview materials over and over in her spare time, trying to see if she could help Fang Xinnuo in other ways.

After reading it several times, she felt that Yang Maoxue was a contradictory person that ordinary people could not understand.

How could someone do good deeds at the risk of their own lives, but then behave abusively towards their wives at home?

She thought of what her aunt said about her acting personality, but was this acting too much?

Just to create a good image, do you risk your life to do good things?

The more I think about it, the less I understand.

Zhu Shan suddenly thought of her aunt's research over the years, so she asked for a lot of research materials on psychology, personality, and human nature.

It just so happened that while she was watching, a text message with an unsaved phone number came in from her phone.

[I am Fang Xinnuo, please help me and don’t reply to messages! 】

Zhu Shan's heart suddenly rose in her throat.

Is Fang Xinnuo willing to resist?
