leave you

Xue Jin once thought that he would never take the initiative to contact Gu Zhilin again, but he didn't expect that after just over a month, he slapped himself severely in the face.

In order to avoid another quarrel due to a disagreement, he borrowed a place from Su Yao and directly set the meeting place on the second floor of Yixin. It happened that Ah Sang lived in the store recently, and it was convenient enough to keep it secret.

At 08:30 in the evening of the appointment, Xue Jin arrived early, had dinner with Su Yao, and then called Ah Sang who was not on duty from the staff dormitory.

Su Yao originally wanted to stay and join in the fun to see who he invited to talk about things, but his mother called him home temporarily, so the young master had to tidy himself up and left reluctantly.Xue Jin was idle and bored, seeing that the time was still early, he dragged Ah Sang downstairs to pass the time, chatted about something and read WeChat, and rejected the bad friends who asked him to go out at night one by one, claiming that he was still Work overtime in the office.

When Gu Zhilin arrived, he was sitting in front of the bar on the first floor, waiting for Ah Sang to get a drink, with one arm resting on the bar, lazily resting on his chin, while the other hand slid over and over again on the phone screen , Occasionally responding to Su Yao's wechat messages complaining, with a little smile on his lips.

Because he didn't talk about business, Xue Jin dressed more casually than usual. The neckline of a thin sweater commensurate with the temperature in early winter exposed a small part of his fair neck. The sleeves were a bit long, covering the back of his hand, making his fingers even more slender nice.He stepped on the bar of the high chair with one leg, and the other rested casually on the ground. When he turned his face sideways and talked to Ah Sang at the bar, he revealed a piece of skin on the side of his neck with a light red mole on it.

Gu Zhilin has very good eyesight and can see clearly.

He stood not far away for a few seconds, Ah Sang who was facing him first looked up and found him, and then Xue Jin.

"Here we come." Xue Jin nodded in greeting and stood up, "Let's talk upstairs, the store will open for business soon."

He walked towards the elevator, Gu Zhilin's eyes fell on Ah Sang again, who was coming out of the bar, holding a tray with drinks and fruits, and smiled shyly at him: "...Hello."

Gu Zhilin nodded and asked, "Do you need help?"

The two trays were filled to the brim, and it was obviously difficult to hold one in each hand, but Ah Sang refused to let him do it, and insisted on picking it up by himself: "No, no, please this way."

Xue Jin had already entered the elevator, pressed the door open button and waited for the two of them to come in, then let go of the button for the second floor, and turned around to take a tray from Ah Sang's hand.

Ah Sang begged for mercy a bit embarrassed: "Mr. Xue, I can do it myself."

"Okay, it's just a hand, it's not a heavy job."

Xue Jin smiled, and after the elevator door opened, he changed hands on the tray, trying to press the button to let them go out first, but Gu Zhilin's hand pressed on it first.

"Let's go first."

There was still a little smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't have time to dissipate, he pursed his lips subconsciously when he heard the words, and went out first.

The room Su Yao vacated for them was at the end of the corridor, and Ah Sang had already entered the door, obediently standing aside and waiting for them, seeing them entering the room one after the other but no one spoke first, asked cautiously: "Is this enough? Don't want to eat something else?"

"Enough, let's get down to business, we can't eat much." Xue Jin motioned him to sit down, and then introduced Gu Zhilin to him, "This is lawyer Gu, who specializes in criminal litigation and has more experience in handling cases like yours than I do. So I asked him to help."

Ah Sang hurriedly bowed and thanked, but was stopped by him: "Don't waste time, let's sort out the chronological order first, and see if there are any gaps in the information I collected earlier."

It took them more than half an hour to sort it out, Xue Jin wrote down the key points on the computer, and then turned the screen to show Ah Sang: "Is that right?"

Ah Sang nodded, not knowing what he was going to do next, and looked at him with some apprehension and anticipation.

As a result, Xue Jin waved his hand and said, "You can't help me with the rest of the matter, so go back first."

He was suddenly dumbfounded, he stood up and didn't know whether to leave or stay.It stands to reason that Xue Jin and Gu Zhilin worked hard for his affairs, so he shouldn't just leave like this, leaving these two to work for him, but Xue Jin also made sense, he stayed only to serve tea and pour water Grab a snack, as if there really wasn't much that could help.

Gu Zhilin was originally staring at the computer screen intently, but when he saw him standing there helplessly, he kindly said: "You go back first, we can discuss it ourselves."

Only then did Ah Sang walk away, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Under the premise of not discussing personal matters, Xue Jin felt that Gu Zhilin was a very good work partner, he dealt with problems neatly without procrastinating, and had his own unique insights, and sometimes pointed out his negligence.After returning to China, he worked with Luo Shan's assistant for a year and got his certificate. Since then, he has been getting along with his assistant. He rarely has such work experience, and even feels the long-lost relaxation and freedom.

The short-term cooperation with the undergraduate was actually like this. Others in the team could not keep up with his thinking, and only Gu Zhilin could discuss his opinions with him in real time.Occasionally, Xue Jin thought that it would be a good choice to be friends with Gu Zhilin, but after a long time he found that the two of them were indeed not in the same way, and the happy cooperation was limited to the work level, and it was not appropriate to expand into the private field.

It was also because of this that when Luo Shan invited Gu Zhilin to join their law firm, Xue Jin even regretted it for a while - if he hadn't rolled into the same bed with Gu Zhilin, maybe there would not be so much embarrassment, and they could coexist peacefully .

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhilin stopped what he was doing and asked in a low voice when he realized that his mind was a little distracted.

"It's nothing." Xue Jin threw away the documents and leaned back on the sofa, deciding to be lazy, "I'm tired, let's take a break first."

Originally, he was just asking, but seeing that he was fine, Gu Zhilin let out an oh and continued to work.Xue Jin leaned back on the sofa, raised one arm to cover his eyes and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but his heart was in a mess, he kept thinking about something, and after a while, he opened his eyes again, looking through the gap between his arm and his face. Peek at the person sitting next to you.

Gu Zhilin came here directly after get off work. He was still wearing a shirt and trousers, and even the hem was well tucked into the waistband of his trousers, showing a narrow waist.He has a standard inverted triangle shape, and the ironed shirt can just highlight the muscle lines of the shoulders and back, smooth but not exaggerated, from Xue Jin's point of view, it can be said to be just right.

Xue Jin himself is not capable of training like this. Although he does exercise regularly, he neither builds up his heart muscle nor pays attention to his diet. As a senior patient with stomach problems, he is destined to be a thin man with a good figure.So he has always expressed his admiration for Gu Zhilin's figure. In his opinion, it's not bad to have a sex addiction that he didn't have.

He didn't feel that his peeping behavior was shameful at all. Anyway, Gu Zhilin was typing on the keyboard with his back turned to him, and he wasn't worried about being discovered, so he maintained this posture for a while and then sat up to get a drink.

Ice cubes were added to Ah Sang’s special drink, but it’s already almost melted. The water formed by the ice cubes and the light blue wine formed a gradual layering. He was reluctant to stir it with a straw. mixed together, Xue Jin drank a couple of sips, took the materials he left behind and continued to read.

It was brought by Gu Zhilin today. He didn't expect that the other party had already started work before the meeting, and used his contacts to get some other clues. The meeting tonight was more like a resource exchange than an introduction.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Zhilin again, but he was caught by the person who happened to turn his head.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhilin asked again, with the usual tone.

Of course Xue Jin would not admit that he was peeking, so he handed over the information and simply discussed a doubtful point he had just discovered.

By the time they had sorted out their thoughts, it was almost twelve o'clock.Xue Jin stretched his waist, took a look at the mobile phone that he had neglected for a long time, and said casually: "It's almost there, let's do this... I've worked hard for you tonight, go back and rest early."

Regardless of whether Gu Zhilin was tired or not, he was really tired anyway, and he was already planning to take a bath and have a good sleep after returning home, and save any big things for tomorrow.He stood up while answering Su Yao's WeChat, took the windbreaker that he had left on the sofa in the afternoon, and after putting on one sleeve, someone lifted the collar for him, so that he could put on the other side while typing with one hand.

Xue Jin was only stunned for a moment, and quickly cooperated with the other party to put on his clothes, then turned his head to look at Gu Zhilin.The latter had already bent down to sort out the information and computer, as if nothing happened just now, it was all his illusion.

Xue Jin stared at him for half a second, then quickly averted his gaze, and said vaguely, "...Thank you."

I don't know if it was Xie Gu Zhilin who carried the clothes for him, or Xie Gu Zhilin for helping him.

They went out together, Xue Jin greeted the foreman and asked him to clean up the room, Gu Zhilin stood aside and waited for him, and only continued to the direction of the parking lot when he turned around after speaking Walk.

There was no agreement, each got into the car and went home separately, but after Xue Jin got into the car, he realized belatedly that they didn't have any disputes tonight, and they lived together in harmony for more than four hours.

He looked down at WeChat, and the chat history with Su Yao was still at 10 minutes ago.

"My mother insists that I stay at home overnight. When you leave, tell the foreman to bring some food back for supper."

"I was full when I was talking about things."

"No way? You, a person who works endlessly, can still free up your hands to eat while talking about things?"

Xue Jin didn't reply to him, but threw the phone aside and drove home.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong, but he deliberately didn't go into it, and let himself get away with it, went home, took a bath, and fell asleep comfortably.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day, because it was Friday, and Xue Jin had no case in hand, so he simply didn't go to the law firm, stayed at home for a day, and took the following weekend as a vacation for himself.On Saturday night, Feng Qingqing called him and Yang Zixi to eat at home. Thinking about it, he hadn't seen him for a while, but Xue Jin still brought a gift for Lei Lei, and then went to the fruit shop to bring a box of oranges to the door.

"Orange juice is delicious!" Leilei applauded the venue.

"Orange juice can only be squeezed after eating." Feng Qingqing sent her to wash her hands, then turned her head and smiled at Xue Jin, "Why don't you ask the store to deliver it for you? It's such a big box, you don't think it's tiring to carry it."

"Is there anything I can do to help? They helped me get in the car, and I just moved from the parking lot to the elevator, how tired I can be." Xue Jin moved to the table to look at the dishes, and asked casually, "Where is Brother Shan? What's the matter?" This point is not at home."

"I went out in the afternoon because I had something to do, and I said I would go back to the law firm to pick up Zixi and then come back."

Feng Qingqing brought out the deliciously stewed radish and beef brisket and put it on the dining table. Seeing Xue Jin follow her into the kitchen serving the soup pot, she seemed to have discovered a new world: "That's amazing Xue Jin, don't you never go into the kitchen?"

The soup pot is a ceramic electric pot, and it is full of soup ingredients and water. Xue Jin felt heavy while holding it, and carefully placed it on the ground beside the table before turning around and explaining: "This is heavy, I will carry it for you."

It happened that Lei Lei came out after washing her hands and saw him squatting on the ground, she rushed over with her short legs: "Uncle Xue, can you carry me on your back?"

Feng Qingqing still had two uncooked dishes, so Xue Jin picked her up and went to the living room to watch cartoons.
