The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

"Yeah, I like it, no matter what you do.

And since you are doing this for my sake, I like it even more.”

Lei Yunbo opened his eyes, looked back at Nan Zhiyi with a loving and serious face and said.

Xiao Yi's eyes dimmed when he heard this. He felt very uncomfortable. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with veins bulging in his hands, and tried hard to control his gaze and look forward.

His reason and upbringing told him not to act on impulse and do anything too extreme.

"So I helped you, how are you going to repay me?"

Nan Zhiyi brought the topic back to the topic, and walked closer to where he was sitting with a smile on her face, leaning on the back of the chair.

"What do you want in return? Anything is fine~"

Lei Yunbo also perked up and raised his eyebrows, looking at him lovingly. They were so close that they could clearly hear each other's breathing.

"Mr. Lei, please sit down. We are still on the highway. Please pay attention to safety."

"Ok."

Lei Yunbo listened to his love rival's words, which were so cold that they almost made him fall apart, but he didn't get angry. He sat back proudly and gave him a provocative look.

"Well, let me think about it."

When Nan Zhiyi heard this, she sat back embarrassedly, her face flushed, and she stared blankly at the flowing scenery outside the window.

He reached out and opened the car window, letting the cool wind blow to clear his mind while he was thinking, when suddenly an idea came to him.

"I still have a lot of places I haven't been to. How about you take me around to see the local customs and cultures?"

"Okay, how long do you plan to be gone so I can plan ahead?"

Lei Yunbo looked at him seriously through the rearview mirror, thinking about the company's project progress in his mind and trying to figure out how to make time for it.

“There’s no rush now, I haven’t made any plans yet.

Well, there are probably about a hundred places, and if you go to two every year, you should be able to see them all in a lifetime.”

"Really?"

Lei Yunbo jumped in surprise. If it weren't for the seat belt, his head would have hit the roof of the car.

He could no longer maintain his mature and steady appearance, and looked silly, with his heart about to jump out of his chest with excitement.

"I don't usually lie to people."

Nan Zhiyi nodded seriously, expressing her affirmation of her own words. Feeling guilty, she didn't look at him and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Attorney Xiao, how is Fengnan's case going?"

"Everything is going according to plan. He is now in a mental hospital and will be released in half a year."

"Oh, I'll go see him when I'm free that day. After all, it was because of me that he suffered such a severe mental trauma."

Nan Zhiyi looked at the gloomy weather outside the window, which looked like a storm was about to come.

Lei Yunbo was still immersed in what Nan Zhiyi was talking about in his lifetime, and didn't pay attention to what they said.

Xiao Yi listened to Nan Zhiyi's indifferent tone and frowned, feeling a little strange, although people will change a lot after experiencing life and death.

But this was becoming too much, and a bad feeling was lingering in my heart.

"When will Zhiyi's conscience awaken and be ready to take responsibility? Or is he dying soon and preparing to clean up the mess?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yi regretted it. The car fell into an eerie silence. Fortunately, they had arrived.

"Thank you for driving, Lawyer Xiao. I'll ask Uncle Fu to take you home later. We both didn't sleep well the whole night, so we'll leave first."

Nan Zhiyi smiled, looked happy and sweet as she got out of the car first, walked to Lei Yunbo, and opened the door for him like a gentleman.

After he came down, he took the man's arm and walked away.

Xiao Yi stood there lonely, watching the two people leave talking and laughing, with his head lowered, an unfathomable look on his face, no one knew what he was thinking.

*

The sound of heavy rain played a symphony of nature.

Nan Zhiyi stood in front of the window, looking at the figure standing under the street light in the pouring rain under the dark night sky, and sighed.

He looked at the person who was still sleeping peacefully, turned around, changed his clothes, and walked outside with two umbrellas.

"Xiao Yi, why bother?"

"I...I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I missed you. I'm sorry for being a burden to you."

The figure raised his head, looked at the umbrella held by Nan Zhiyi above his head, and gave a weak smile.

He knew that he was not as rich as Fengnan and Lei Yunbo, nor did he love as passionately and freely as they did, but who says that restrained love cannot move you?

Xiao Yi's lips moved, and he lowered his head guiltily, speaking slowly and firmly.

"My love for you is my own business from the beginning to the end. You don't have to feel burdened or respond."

Nan Zhiyi knew exactly what was going on in their minds, but she couldn't expose them directly, so she could only guide them slowly.

Nan Zhiyi didn't look at him, but handed him an umbrella and took him to the pavilion in the park in the middle of the villa area to sit down.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, it flashes by under the light.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

“Of course, that was the first case I took on.

This is a simple case of children being unwilling to support their elderly parents, leaving them alone and helpless, forced to pick up garbage for a living.

The facts were clear, the evidence was sufficient, and it was a case that could easily be won, but no one was willing to take it.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yi’s thoughts drifted to that day.

It was a winter day, and it was also raining heavily. During my internship, I was full of longing and yearning for the future.

I squatted at the gate of the Legal Aid Center, looking at the deserted streets.

Suddenly, I saw an old man moving slowly from afar. He was dragging a bulging snakeskin bag in one hand and holding a crutch and dragging his leg in the other hand.

It was even more shocking when he looked at it from a closer distance, with sunken eye sockets and bony figure. The whole person looked like a layer of skin covering bones, without flesh and blood, and shriveled.

He was panting, his clothes were extremely thin and all wet, and he tremblingly took out a bunch of banknotes wrapped in several layers of plastic bags from his tattered trouser pocket.

They were scattered here and there, the largest was no more than fifty yuan, and the smallest was only one cent.

The person who saw this felt sad and his eyes turned red. He bought a bottle from him and helped him raise enough money for the materials.

Since no one was willing to take the call, I took it directly with full confidence.

He has three children, one of whom is a teacher, one is a doctor, and one is a businessman. Everyone is living a good life, but no one is willing to accept him.

The first time I went to see his children, they beat and scolded me out of the house.

The insults were very unpleasant, such as jinx, old man, burden, etc.

The old man was very sad and was about to give up, but he was so angry that he insisted on going everywhere to collect evidence and understand the situation.

As more and more information came in and the evidence became more and more sufficient, I became confused. I stared blankly at the court session, made my statement, and listened to the judge declare victory.

The old man was very happy and kept praising me, while the others were spitting all over me and wanted to drown me.

I was so sad that I found a deserted corner and sat in the rain alone.

I cried while holding the bottle full of kindness, and for a moment I doubted whether I should continue.
