The National Day holiday lasts for seven days in total.
Because Ling Yue was coming back, Ling Xiao planned to take Zhu Shan home.
October 1st, seven o'clock in the morning.
Zhu Shan stayed up all night and was sleeping soundly now. Suddenly she felt like she was being hugged whole, and there was a hot breath all over her body.
Very uncomfortable.
But she was sleepy and didn't open her eyes.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, and his voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up, "Shanshan, get up and run."
Zhu Shan didn't move.
Ling Xiao tightened his arms, leaned into her ear and spoke again.
This time, after he finished speaking, he kissed the shell of her ear, then along the back of her ear, to the back of her neck, and then to the back of her shoulders...
No matter how sleepy Zhu Shan was, she could not ignore this numbing feeling. And she had a feeling that if she continued to pretend to be dead, Ling Xiao would never
After the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa, each holding their mobile phones.Zhu Shan's eyes drifted left and right, feeling that the current atmosphere was a bit strange, but she couldn't put it into words.When her eyes drifted to the left again, she met Ling Yue's furtive gaze....It's really weird!Ling Yue put down his phone and looked at Ling Xiao, as if he couldn't help it anymore, "Brother, how can I sleep tonight?"Zhu Shan mechanically turned her head and looked at Ling Xiao.He looked at the phone without raising his head and said calmly, "Do you have no room or don't know how to sleep?""I mean where does Peppa sleep?" Ling Yue swallowed, "I just went to her room and saw that it wasn't cleaned."Zhu Shan, "!!!" This is a bit silly!Ling Yue didn't hear Ling Xiao's response, so he patted Zhu Shan on the shoulder and said attentively, "Page, you sleep in my room, I'll stay with my brother..."His wo
In the early morning, there was a gust of wind.The branches and leaves outside the window swayed, the thin curtain inside the window fluttered, and the light spots on Zhu Shan's face were disrupted.This gust of wind penetrated into her neck and woke her up.She turned around and said lazily, "Ling Xiao, close the window."After a while, another gust of wind came.Zhu Shan touched the side and kicked it again, but there was no one there.She opened her eyes, and as her vision gradually became clearer, she saw a familiar standing wardrobe.This is Ling Xiao's room.She didn't remember how she slept here.Although her head felt a little heavy and a little painful, it did not prevent her from exploring the memories of last night.She still remembered Ling Yue's stunned expression under the streetlight.I still remember the uncontrollable, dangerous and warning light in Ling Xiao's eyes.And she...——D
In the evening, Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao had dinner and went for a walk in the small park together.During this period, Ling Xiao answered a phone call.Zhu Shan sat on the big rock next to the park and played with her mobile phone.The top of the phone suddenly showed up, inserting the message.Zhu Shan clicked on it and saw it was from Ling Yue.Ling Yue: [Crazy! 】Ling Yue: [Autistic! 】Zhu Shan: [What’s wrong? 】Ling Yue posted an emoticon of slamming a keyboard with the words "Whoever likes to read this will read it".Ling Yue: [Sister-in-law, give me some comfort! 】Zhu Shan was speechless, raised her eyes in Ling Xiao's direction, and typed with peace of mind: [Whoever likes this sister-in-law should be who she is! 】Ling Yue smelled the atmosphere of gossip: [What's wrong? 】Zhu Shan: [If I get drunk again, I will be a pig! 】Ling Yue: [We still drink during the Chinese New Year! 】Zhu S
End of October.early morning.Today is the day of trial for Ren Xingyan charged with intentional homicide.Zhu Shan was woken up by the alarm on her mobile phone and did not dare to leave the warm bed for a moment.Ling Xiao didn't go home last night.The night before each trial, he would not go home. Doreen said this was his habit.Zhu Shan asked Ling Xiao why.He was holding her in his arms and teasing her in a non-serious way, "In a gentle country, beauty is a disaster."But Zhu Shan knew that the real reason was definitely not like this.This habit existed before she returned to China.After Zhu Shan washed her face, she wiped the water on her chin with a face towel in front of the mirror, and then touched the shallow dark circles under her eyelids.She didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't sleep well holding the violent bear. She spent the whole night dreaming.Zhu Shan finished her breakfast
The solemn court of justice has its own chill.The presiding judge looked at Ling Xiao, "Does the defense lawyer have any questions?"At this time, Ling Xiao stood up.He nodded slightly to the presiding judge, then turned to look at Zhuo Yue, "Just now, you described that my client pinched the deceased, your father, twice by the neck and pushed him to the balcony. During the second time, the deceased was He fell from the building, right?""right.""So, may I ask, where were you when my client grabbed your father's neck for the second time and pushed him to the edge of the balcony?""Me?" Zhuo Yue paused from sobbing, seeming to be thinking.Ling Xiao didn't want to give her time to think, and asked in a cold voice, "Then answer me now, were you with the deceased at that time?"Zhuoyue's voice was weak, "Yes."Ling Xiao, "Then what did you do to prevent this from happening?"Zhuo Yue covered his face with his hands a
After Zhu Shan finished speaking, she was a little excited and panted heavily.Ling Xiao's eyebrows moved and he lowered his eyes to look at the documents in his hand.Li Shang had his head buried in looking at the things in his hands, but he didn't hear Ling Xiao's voice immediately, so he turned to look at him.In the Inquisition, their entry point, timing, and rhythm are all very important.But now, the witness is still full of energy and emotions, and she must not be given any time to slow down.Li Shang pulled Ling Xiao's lawyer robe to remind him.But Ling Xiao didn't give Li Shang any reaction.After a while, the presiding judge broke the silence, "Does the defense lawyer have any questions?""Yes." Ling Xiao looked up at Zhu Shan, seeing that she had calmed down a bit, and asked, "You just said that you heard a loud noise, then turned around and saw that the deceased had fallen from the building, right?""yes."
At night, Zhu Shan thought about the court trial again while sleepy.She closed her eyes, arched into Ling Xiao's arms, and said in a very soft voice, "Today, I was in court, and for some reason, I wanted to lie for a moment."Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but put his palm on the side of her face and rubbed it as if to comfort her."You asked me if I saw Ren Xingyan push Zhuo Fu down with my own eyes." Zhu Shan's tone was slightly nasal, "I thought at the time, if I said I saw it with my own eyes, Ren Xingyan wouldn't be able to escape."Ling Xiao opened his eyes and kissed her forehead, "But you didn't lie."In the dim light, he saw her slightly frowning eyebrows.He put his arm around her shoulders and pressed her into his arms.In such a quiet night, holding the soft little body in his arms, his voice was soft and warm:"Shanshan, everyone has emotional judgment."“The witness seat virtually amplifies the weight of wor
In such an atmosphere, Zhu Shan felt that her throat was a little dry.She glanced at Ling Xiao several times before speaking, "Ling Xiao, I'm twenty-three years old. I'm not a child. I can't come to you for everything."She didn't hear his response, and she didn't know what his attitude was now, so she could only continue to express her thoughts."When I encounter something dangerous or something that cannot be solved, I will definitely not hide it. I will definitely tell you and let you help me." Zhu Shan said softly, "But there are some things that I can face by myself, of course I can do it myself." Faced with the fact that you can't always be by my side, I feel that over-reliance is not good."Ling Xiao glanced at her sideways, then quickly looked away.Zhu Shan continued, "Of course I know you care about me and are afraid that I will show off, but you also have to believe in my abilities."Ling Xiao glanced at her again, then quickly
5. Give upAfter Ling Xiao graduated, he partnered with Li Shang to establish a small law firm.He has also been working with Han Xiaoli to search for evidence.But their investigation was like walking into a swamp.The more you try to clear the swamp in front of you, the deeper you sink.Han Xiao, "I didn't expect that Ren Xianli actually has so many official connections. These people are all grasshoppers on a rope. We are definitely not enough."Of course Ling Xiao understood that with all their evidence, they would be wiped out by the officials before they could convict Ren Xianli.Things have reached a point of no return.When Ling Xiao returned to the company, he passed by Doreen's workstation.He turned back and said, "I'm going on annual leave in September. Please help me book a ticket to SJP on September 8th."Doreen, "Okay, Linglu."Doreen had just graduated at this time and was not as smooth as she wa
3. FrustrationNo one will have smooth sailing.No matter how good you are, you won't.When Ling Xiao was in his senior year, he entered a law firm as an intern. He had a wild and unruly temperament, and he would not restrain his sharp edges.If he stood in a high place like this, he would definitely be praised and admired by others, but now he is just an intern, and there is no doubt that he is not likeable at all.Including the middle-aged lawyer who took him.Later, in a case, the middle-aged lawyer got angry at Ling Xiao for no reason because of his own mistakes and stopped caring about him.As an intern, being isolated by your master is equivalent to being isolated by the entire company.At that time, Ling Xiao doubted himself for the first time.I suspected that I had chosen the wrong path.He also had no energy when Han Xiao asked him out.Han Xiao looked at him several times and closed the document, "Li
1.LeaveThe day Zhu Shan left was Wednesday, with a flight at 9 a.m.Ling Xiao ended his summer part-time job at a law firm early, and Yu He arrived at 5:30 in the morning.In late August, during the scorching heat, Ling Xiao ate a bowl of noodles at the airport and his T-shirt got wet.After eating, he kept waiting.It was almost eight o'clock when Ling Yue and Zhu Shan arrived.The two of them stood in front of a bright electronic billboard to say goodbye.Zhu Shan carried a canvas schoolbag on her shoulders that day, holding the strap tightly with both hands, lowering her head and crying.Ling Yue hugged her and said with a nasal voice, "Page, don't cry, it's okay.""I am afraid."Zhu Shan struggled to say three words, unable to hold back her sobs, which attracted the attention of others.But at the airport, there were too many farewells.People only glanced at the two young children briefly before hea
Zhu Shan's heart trembled violently, and then her lips trembled.When she came back to her senses, there was no sound of wind chimes, only the sound of beautiful music.In front of her was Ling Xiao's proud smiling face.He leaned forward slightly, the strands of hair on his forehead were blown away, and his posture was not serious at all, but even a little casual.But Zhu Shan knew that Ling Xiao never spoke empty words.Therefore, even though he said "Okay" so calmly, she would really think that way.Zhu Shan's mind was a little confused, her fingers tightened on the scarf on her shoulders, and her big eyes blinked twice, "What?"The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curled up nicely, and he stretched out his right arm. Then the music stopped and a bouquet of flowers appeared in his palm.When he led Zhu Shan towards the scene, Zhu Shan felt as if she was in a dream and felt dizzy.When she stood still, Zhu Shan felt the hot
Shu Qiwen's farewell ceremony took place on a sunny afternoon in late May.That day, Zhu Shan wore a cotton matcha green dress with thin lace of the same color on the neckline.She is not a person who likes to wear skirts, but the farewell invitation said, "Please wear your most beautiful skirt."Zhu Shan did not wear the most beautiful dress, she wore the most modest dress.However, she still felt restless because of the small lace on the collar.When she arrived at the scene, Zhu Shan realized that she had been worrying too much.On the lawn, there are girls wearing bright floral skirts and even suspender skirts. No matter the style or color, there are no taboos.Moreover, no one showed sad emotions on their faces, everyone was laughing and chatting, it was more like a gathering of friends.Ling Xiao took Zhu Shan to greet Shu Qiwen's family and met Shu Qiwen's parents and sister.Shu Qiwen's mother looks very young, wit
Zhu Shan ran towards Ling Xiao's back. Out of urgency, she exhaled a stream of white mist, letting the cold wind invade her mouth and making her tongue numb from the cold.Ling Xiao heard footsteps and knew it was her.He stopped to calm down and did not turn around.Then, Zhu Shan hugged Ling Xiao from behind.Ling Xiao took a deep breath, turned around, hugged Zhu Shan back, and said softly, "What are you doing here? Go back quickly."Zhu Shan shook her head, she wanted to accompany him.Ling Xiao looked at the street lamp, exhaled a cloud of white mist, then lowered his head and pressed his lips against her ear, "Shanshan, can you do me a favor?"Zhu Shan nodded.Ling Xiao, "I said something harsh just now. You should go back and coax her.""But you also have to coax.""I have been coaxed now. You have coaxed me since I was a child." Ling Xiao pushed Zhu Shan away and tapped her cheek with his fingertips, "Shansha
After entering the bathroom, Ling Xiao first took off Zhu Shan's clothes and carefully inspected her whole body.Zhu Shan's face was a little red, her eyes wandering, "I'm not injured.""How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"Zhu Shan shook her head, "No."When facing Ren Xingxian alone, she was indeed afraid of being helpless and hopeless, but when Ling Xiao appeared and hugged her, those feelings completely dissipated.Later, during the dozen or so hours that Zhu Shan was in the police station, the police comrades, prosecutor Su, Li Shang, etc., everyone cared about and comforted her, and took the case seriously and cautiously.She knew that the reason why she was able to clear away the suspicion so quickly was the result of various departments rushing back from their warm homes and staying up late.How is she still uncomfortable?She will not ignore the kindness and tenderness of the world because of people like
At that time, Zhu Shan didn't know Ling Xiao's inner struggle. She only felt that his words could heal all the hardships in the world for her.He was the only one she could hold on to in the darkness.So, she grabbed his clothes, and although her tone was frustrated, she was eager to tell the horrors she faced alone, "When I... saw that explosive, I thought I would die, I would die... So, Why should Ren Xianli get away with it? He killed my parents without being punished, why? I...I want revenge...I'm sorry Ling Xiao, I...I thought that way..."Just like he said, she became a different person at that time, and now she feels terrible when she thinks about it.Ling Xiao hugged Zhu Shan tightly, feeling her breathing, panting, and sobbing.Zhu Shan, "But... when I raised the knife, I saw a little refraction..."Ling Xiao paused, and there was a sudden fluctuation in his heart, "What?"Zhu Shan pushed Ling Xiao, raised her head from his a
Zhu Sha looked at the knife in her hand in horror, but couldn't break free, so she could only stare at Ren Xingxian, "What did you say?""My father killed your parents, and you killed me." Ren Xingxian looked at Zhu Shan, with a faint smile on his lips, "Avenge your parents."Zhu Shan shook her head, "You are crazy.""Isn't this a matter of course?" Ren Xingxuan, "Don't you want to avenge your parents?"of course yes.But Ren Xianli has been arrested and will be tried, a fair trial.And her revenge will not be on Ren Xingxian.Ren Xingxuan purred, "You know? My father doesn't remember what he did to your parents at all. He has done so many such things that he doesn't even remember. He won't do anything to your parents, or If you feel any guilt, he won't even feel that he did something wrong. He will only feel...why was he so careless and got caught?"Zhu Shan couldn't understand and still shook her head."Don't you hate me
