When Jiang Yan arrived at the place, Shen Zixi was already sitting at the bar and had drank a lot.
The surrounding area was completely empty, with no one around at all.
He walked over and sat next to Shen Zixi. After ordering a glass of wine, he said unhurriedly: "Are you broken in love again?"
Shen Zixi couldn't accept it: "Again?"
Jiang Yan glanced at him: "Then what's the reason for you drinking so late in the afternoon?"
Shen Zixi turned around and looked at him, her arms casually draped on the armrests behind the chair. She thought for a while and then said: "Let me ask you, if a girl is full of gratitude to you, she feels that if it weren't for you, her whole life would be ruined."
destroyed.
Do you think this kind of gratitude can be regarded as liking?"
Jiang Yan took the drink from the bartender and took a sip before asking calmly: "Think about it from another perspective. If the person who is grateful to you is an aunt in her forties or fifties, would you care about her attitude?"
Shen Zixi: "..."
What the hell.
He won't be able to fix it.
Jiang Yan said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether she likes her or not. What matters is how you want to get along with her. If you want to go further, just pursue her."
Shen Zixi looked away and continued to drink: "You don't understand, it's not as simple as chasing or not.
What's more...she is not just any girl."
Jiang Yan sneered: "What don't I understand? Aren't you just afraid of being rejected by her? You're afraid that she will only regard you as her savior and have no other ideas."
Shen Zixi, a young man from a wealthy family, had everything he wanted since he was a child. No matter where he went, girls would take the initiative to get him one after another.
Always the emotional leader.
I've never seen him do anything for which he was unsure.
Shen Zixi said: "I'm not afraid of rejection, I'm..."
She didn't want to ruin his image in her mind.
"Don't they all mean the same thing?"
Shen Zixi didn't want to talk.
Jiang Yan added: "Okay, since you have said that she is not a casual girl, then don't speak so casually. Think clearly that what you want is just a short-term fun, and you can still get to the point of marriage.
If you are just bored during this period and want to find someone to entertain you, then find someone with similar interests."
Shen Zixi: "..."
Does he seem so unreliable?
Ruan Xingwan and Pei Shanshan said this about him, and Jiang Yan even more so.
Jiang Yan stood up, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass: "I've said what I need to say, and I'm leaving."
"Hey, have you been sitting here for five minutes?"
"The fact that I can take the time to talk nonsense with you for five minutes is enough to give you face."
After speaking, Jiang Yan turned and left.
Shen Zixi was the only one left at the bar again.
…
In the evening, Lu Qingqing worked overtime and returned to Lawyer Shen's house at eleven o'clock.
She opened the door gently and saw Shen Zixi sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing the gold-rimmed glasses she often wore at work, and reading a book.
Lu Qingqing changed her shoes and walked over, whispering: "Is Lawyer Shen still awake?"
Shen Zixi looked up at her: "Are you working overtime again today?"
Lu Qingqing nodded and was silent for two seconds before saying: "Isn't Zuo Yuan's case going to trial? I'm still sorting out some information..."
Hearing this, Shen Zixi smiled, closed the book and said, "Looking at your attitude, you are determined to destroy my job."
Lu Qingqing waved his hand: "No, no, I know that Lawyer Shen, as a lawyer, has a job that you should do. I just want to report the truth and let the public know what kind of person Zuo Yuan is."
After a long while, Shen Zixi said: "If this case is won by me.
So do you think you should continue to stick to your justice and beliefs, or do you think I am just a liar who will do anything for fame and fortune, even protecting murderers?"
Hearing what he said, Lu Qingqing was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
Shen Zixi was not in a hurry and just waited for her quietly.
After a long time, Lu Qingqing said slowly: "Lawyer Shen is not a liar, and what he taught me is not wrong. No matter what Lawyer Shen chooses, it will not change the way you are in my heart.
To me, you will always be the person who pulled me out of the swamp when I was most desperate and told me that there is a light ahead."
As her words fell, Shen Zixi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she was stunned for a moment.
Lu Qingqing smiled: "Then I'll go wash up first. Good night, Lawyer Shen."
As soon as she stood up, Shen Zixi held her wrist.
Lu Qingqing paused: "Lawyer Shen...is there anything else?"
Shen Zixi looked up at her: "Huai Xin has been caught."
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Really?
When did this happen?"
Shen Zixi didn't answer and asked instead: "So, do you want to move back?"
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Qingqing's face froze for a moment, and her voice became a little stuttering: "Any time, you can... I'm sorry to disturb Lawyer Shen during this period, I will..." tomorrow
Shen Zixi interrupted her and continued: "What I mean is, if you don't want to leave, you can always live here."
Lu Qingqing didn't understand what he meant even more. After quickly thinking of a possibility in her mind, she was full of uncertainty. She felt like her breathing was trembling: "Lawyer Shen..."
Shen Zixi said: "I have been thinking about a question today. The reason why you keep this pen cap is because you are grateful, or... you like me."
When she heard the next few words, Lu Qingqing's face turned red and her ears felt very hot. She hesitated and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"If it's the latter answer, can you please stop leaving?"
His voice was very low, and he just looked at him, his dark eyes burning and straightforward.
Although Lu Qingqing has been busy studying and working these years, he is not an emotional idiot.
Of course I understand what he means.
After half a minute of consideration and struggle, she slowly sat down.
Shen Zixi looked at her and tilted her head slightly.
Lu Qingqing's face turned red and her voice stammered: "I...I won't leave."
The corners of Shen Zixi's lips slowly raised, and the hand holding her wrist retracted: "Okay, go to bed first. I will help you move after get off work tomorrow."
Lu Qingqing said quickly: "No, no, I don't have many things, just call a taxi."
Since the accident at home, Lu Qingqing went to college alone. She went alone wherever she went, and she had long been accustomed to doing everything by herself.
For things like moving, just pack your luggage and call a car online. Practice makes you perfect.
Shen Zixi said: "Yes, I will pick you up after get off work tomorrow."
Without waiting for Lu Qingqing to answer, he had already stood up and walked straight to the bedroom.
When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Lu Qingqing and whispered: "Good night."
The corners of Lu Qingqing's lips raised uncontrollably: "Good night, Lawyer Shen."
