leave you

After many twists and turns, Xue Jin finally made an appointment with the victimized girl who was resting at home, and agreed to meet at a cafe near Z University.

The girl's name is Xiangxiang, she is a third-year student in the outer courtyard, and she is half a year older than Ah Sang.When Xue Jin called her, she was originally unwilling to meet, but Xue Jin said: "The child who came forward to save you has not been able to go back to school. He hesitated for a long time before asking me for help. I know it is not easy for you. , and won’t ask you to do anything, just chat, and won’t reveal the content of our conversation to outsiders, okay?”

She didn't give Xue Jin an answer immediately, but only said that she had to think about it, and she sent the time and place of the meeting to his mobile phone two days later.

In order to let Xiangxiang relax, Xue Jin thought about it, and took Lucas with him before going out.The cafe has been around Z University for many years. It has been there since he was studying. He used to think the school cafeteria was unpalatable, and would occasionally drag Su Yao out to open a small restaurant. The boss still remembered him. The dog took the initiative to take him to a place near the balcony.

"There is a handle here, tie it here, and it can run on the terrace."

Xue Jin thanked him, tied up Lucas, ordered a cup of coffee and sat down to wait for others.

Xiangxiang stepped on it. He was wearing a baseball cap, a baggy coat and jeans. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't recognize the sweet and beautiful girl in the photo.After entering the store, she looked around for a while, and finally walked to Xue Jin's side hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "...Is this Lawyer Xue?"

Xue Jin raised his head and smiled at her: "It's me, hello, Xiangxiang."

Apparently, he didn't expect him to be so young and good-looking. Xiangxiang's expressionless face had a tinge of blush, and he was a little embarrassed when he sat down, with a little girl's shy tone in his tone: "Sorry, I've been a little allergic recently. Make up and go out."

"It's okay, it's still very beautiful." Xue Jin handed her the menu card and said kindly, "Look at what you want to eat. This restaurant tastes good. I used to come here often."

The girl thanked him, ordered a glass of iced latte, and quickly returned to her appearance when she first arrived, with obvious caution: "What do you want to ask me? I told the police everything I know, and I will Sang is not identified, he should be fine."

She spoke clearly, and she didn't show too much traumatic stress reaction. Instead, she was surprisingly calm. She was not stage fright when facing a stranger like Xue Jin who suddenly asked her to meet, as if she knew that he would not do anything to her. very calm.

Xue Jin bent down to touch the head of Lucas who came to rub his trouser legs, and told her about Ah Sang's current situation: "He is fine, he was released from the police station before staying in the police station for 48 hours, but the school did not let him go back. class, and is still unwilling to revoke the suspension.”

Xiangxiang didn't react too much, and just said: "I can't interfere with what the school does. After all, I am also suspending school now."

Lucas was not satisfied with Xue Jin's smooth hair. Seeing that there was a young lady sitting across from him, and the leash was long enough today, he slipped under the table and wagged his tail towards Xiangxiang.The girl who had been keeping a cold face since entering the door showed some expression again, a little smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her head to touch its back: "Is this your dog? It's so cute."

"It's not mine. I'll take care of my colleague for a few days." Xue Jin also smiled, "It just so happens that my colleague is also from Z University. I always invited her to have cold drinks here when I was an undergraduate."

He intentionally mentioned his identity as a graduate of Z University, and also wanted to increase the distance between him and the other party. Xiangxiang also chatted with him a few more words along this topic. He seemed a little uninterested at first, but after hearing what he said After his full name, his eyes suddenly lit up: "So you are Senior Brother Xue Jin from the law school. I heard Mr. Wu told your story in class!"

Xue Jin blinked: "Teacher Wu?"

"I'm learning German. You've been to Teacher Wu's class before, right? She always said that there were a lot of students in your second German college, most of them were girls, and almost all of them came for you."

He actually didn't remember Teacher Wu, but it was true, but he didn't expect that after so many years, the teacher could still tell the students something new.But since Xiangxiang is interested in this kind of thing, it will be much easier...

Xue Jin told her a lot of things about the German class that year, half true and false, which frightened the little girl for a while, pretending to be cold and forgetting it, and not long after, he put his arms around Lucas and yelled He is Senior Brother Xue.

"To be honest, at first I thought it was the kind of powerful lawyer who wanted me to do something bad..." She rubbed her nose in embarrassment and apologized to Xue Jin, "So at first my attitude It's a little bit bad, brother, don't mind."

"It's okay. You have experienced bad things. It's good to be cautious, but you shouldn't trust strangers easily." Of course, Xue Jin couldn't blame her for this. In fact, Xiangxiang's maturity and composure surprised him. I thought that her willingness to accept the appointment was the maximum concession, but after the conversation, she showed a very good attitude, not even like a young girl who was almost raped by a group of gangsters not long ago.

It has to be said that this is a good thing, because being able to communicate means that the other party is very sober, and a girl who can stay so sober is likely to know what she is going through at the time.

It was not like she told the police that she didn't see anything because the road was too dark.

A few nights ago, Xue Jin specially took the time to go back to his alma mater, and went to the scene of the crime to experience the dim light of Ah Sang who "couldn't distinguish colors because of his color weakness".His own eyes are not good either, because he had an accident before, and it was difficult to quickly adapt to the strong light, but he could see things clearly in low light, so the light from the broken street lamp did not hinder his vision too much.And Xiangxiang in front of her is not wearing glasses. Although the possibility of wearing natural colored contact lenses is not ruled out, she does not seem to have a big problem with her eyesight. At least she will be at a normal level after wearing contact lenses.

To be on the safe side, he still asked casually: "Your color contact lenses are pretty in color, can I ask the brand and color number? My sister's birthday is coming up, and I want to give her a gift."

Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't have the habit of wearing colored contact lenses, senior brother, you praised me so much that I feel embarrassed."

That would make things easier.

Xue Jin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said meaningfully: "That's a little strange."

"what?"

"Mr. Sang has vision problems, so he couldn't see the features of other people clearly on the night of the accident, and he couldn't point out the criminal who was seriously molesting you. I think you should know this." Xue Jin looked at her, and the smile was always hanging on The corner of his mouth seemed to be saying something interesting, "But I went to the scene of a crime before. Although the street lamp has not changed a bulb for more than ten years, it is impossible to illuminate a large area, but a person with normal vision should be in that position. It can be seen."

Thinking of what he said just now, Xiangxiang's face suddenly changed.

"You shouldn't be short-sighted, right?" Xue Jin asked her gently, "Why did you hide the truth? Is there any special reason for it? Can you tell me?"

Since the development of the matter was beyond his expectation, Xue Jin had to make another dinner appointment with Gu Zhilin just to be on the safe side.

Still on the second floor of Yixin, Xue Jin went to Su Yao's house first, and asked for the key of the room he used last time: "Lend me that room for a while, is it okay?"

"Take it, take it, don't bother me to catch up on sleep." Su Yao lay on the bed without opening his eyes to look at him, turned over and continued to sleep, "Just don't break the law in my shop."

Recently, he was forced by his parents to go on a blind date. He saw at least five or six girls every day, and couldn't sleep well. Xue Jin laughed at him, took the key and left.

He wasted some time talking with Su Yao, and when Xue Jin returned to Yixin, Gu Zhilin had already arrived.

Without the key, he could only wait for Xue Jin on the first floor. It happened that Ah Sang was on duty today, so Gu Zhilin found a seat in front of the bar just like Xue Jin did before, and had a chat with Ah Sang. say.

To be more precise, Ah Sang was trying to find something to talk about, but he didn't speak much, like a president who is busy with everything, sitting there looking at his mobile phone with a serious face.

Xue Jin didn't know when Gu Zhilin also became a child with a mobile phone, but recently they had more contacts, and he realized that this person is not necessarily so boring.

In the past few days when he was taking care of Lucas, he occasionally sent some photos or videos of him, which were actually taken for Yang Zixi to see, but it was a bit wasteful not to post them, so he posted them again in Moments.He rarely posts photos, and his circle of friends is almost blank. Before posting them, he never expected to receive so many comments and likes, including Gu Zhilin's.

Just below Yang Zixi's sour "Why is Lucas so good, mom is angry", Gu Zhilin actually commented on a dog meal recipe for him.

It's hard to describe that feeling, it's as subtle as a high school student playing with a mobile phone in class, only to find that the head teacher left a message and sent him a game guide.Fortunately, perhaps because their circle of friends didn't overlap very much, Xue Jin didn't find anyone replying to his comment, otherwise Gu Zhilin's image would have collapsed.

He smiled as he thought about it, walked to the bar and knocked on the table: "Have a drink."

Probably because he was exhausted from having nothing to say, Asang looked up as if seeing a savior, and asked him what he wanted to drink, but Xue Jin didn't have any idea, so he said: "As you like, drink some wine, just serve it in a while."

Ah Sang agreed, and turned to go to the wine cabinet to choose wine, Xue Jin turned to Gu Zhilin, nodded to him: "Let's go, I got the key, let's go up and talk about it."

Gu Zhilin stood up and moved away from the lights of the bar, Xue Jin noticed the difference in him today, and asked curiously, "You didn't go to work today?"

Today's appointment is earlier than last time. It stands to reason that Gu Zhilin should have come here after get off work, but he is not dressed formally in a suit and leather shoes as usual, but in a casual shirt and slacks. Weird sense of disobedience, sitting is fine, standing up Xue Jin almost thought it was a stranger.

"My mother got the ticket to go back to her hometown today, and I will take her to the high-speed rail station in the afternoon, and then come here directly."

"...Oh, that's it." Xue Jin was stunned. At first, he subconsciously wanted to say that his hometown is so far away, why don't he take the plane and the high-speed rail, but then remembered that Gu Zhilin said before that his mother's legs were inconvenient, so he swallowed the words back , changed his tune, "Let's go, go upstairs."

After going upstairs, he took out the key and opened the lock, then turned around and threw the key to Gu Zhilin: "Take it, you don't have to wait downstairs next time."

Gu Zhilin caught the key and raised his eyebrows: "What about you?"

"I came early and asked the foreman to open the door. He has a spare key." Xue Jin adjusted the brightness of the light, then took off his coat and threw it away, and took out a recording pen from his trouser pocket. What the girl said, and then tell me what you think."
