leave you

"Lawyer Xue, are you still off work?"

The legal assistant, Xiao Chen, sorted out the materials for tomorrow's court session for his family-loving and good man boss, and greeted Xue Jin kindly before heading home at night: "It's already eleven o'clock, and you don't seem to have a court session tomorrow?"

"I'm still waiting for the data here, so I'll leave later." Xue Jin smiled at him, and put out the cigarette butt in his hand, "You go back quickly, don't you want to go to Dongjiang with Brother Shan for a court hearing tomorrow? You have to get up early."

"Let's go now, and you should go back to rest early."

After Xiao Chen left, he was the only one left alive in the office.Xue Jin dimmed the lights, watched the progress bar on the computer screen go little by little, got up and went to the coffee machine to refill his cup, but found that Qiao Mengwei had finished the coffee he ground before leaving get off work.He threw the cup into the sink and rinsed it, hesitated for a moment, because he was really thirsty, so he had to pour himself a cup of hot water.

He is spoiled by coffee, he doesn't usually drink plain water, and his level of health preservation is far inferior to that of other people in the office. Yang Zixi said that people under 30 have the stomach of a 50-year-old. Xue Jin didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart of.But he is still unwilling to drink plain water, at least when he has a choice, he usually doesn’t give up—now it’s a time when he has no choice, he holds the hot water and blows it, thinking that he should take a photo of this glass of water and send it to Yang Zixi took a look.

Fortunately, his stomach felt better after drinking it. He sat back on the chair, watched the data downloading complete, took out his mobile phone and called someone: "Where are you fooling around?"

"I'm all about drinking, are you coming?" Su Yao on the other end of the phone said.

Xue Jin looked at the time, opened the drawer and picked up the car keys: "Come on, wait."

"Okay, let them take you upstairs when you arrive."

Su Yao is a well-known second-generation ancestor in Jiangcheng, and he is also the behind-the-scenes owner of Yixin Bar. Xue Jin was in the same class as him in undergraduate course, and they did not lose contact after each went abroad.This person was quite interesting, and he was so nice to friends who had fun, so after he went back to Jiangcheng to open his heart, Xue Jin also became a regular customer of Yixin.

He came in just in time for Yixin's "zero o'clock surprise" time. Since the boss has too much money to spend, there will be a random draw in the bar at zero o'clock every day, and the guests who are selected can be exempted from the day's expenses.The random beam circled around on the first floor and hit him brightly on the head who had just entered the door. Xue Jin couldn't laugh or cry, and called the waiter: "Where's your boss?"

"The boss is upstairs, Mr. Xue, come with me." The waiter also smiled, and joked with him while leading him to the private elevator, "It seems that the boss saved money today."

Xue Jin shook his head helplessly. He knew Su Yao's character very well. He set up this surprise time just to throw money for fun, and he felt uncomfortable if he couldn't spend it: "Su Yao must find a way to spend this money again."

Sure enough, when he entered Su Yao's private room, the guy was lying on the sofa without bones, frowning and complaining to the little girl next to him: "Why did you draw this guy, hurry up, come and order again." one."

The little girl laughed wildly, she obviously knew about their relationship, so Xue Jin didn't shy away from it, and directly hit him with the car keys: "It's almost done."

Su Yao took the key and sat up, asked the waiter to go down and re-order the free order, and then pushed the plate on the table towards him: "I know you must not have eaten tonight, come on, my brother ordered something for you. "

This person looks more frivolous than Xue Jin, with peach blossom eyes, thin lips and sharp chin, he smiles a little before he speaks, he looks like a habitual criminal who plays with other people's feelings.Xue Jin sat down next to him, first glanced at the little girl on the other side, said nothing, smiled, and ate on his own.

Su Yao couldn't keep his mouth shut. He caught Xue Jin talking from the moment he entered the door, and left the girl aside without saying anything. After a while, he felt that he was in the way and let him go.Xue Jin shook his head, and laughed at him while eating: "You can't do this. If someone comes, just leave the girl aside. There will be no beautiful girls willing to play with you in the future."

Su Yao wasn't worried at all, curled his lips and said, "When have I ever been short of a girl, it's rare to get together with you, let's chat alone for a while."

He used to have such a temper, and indeed he never lacked girls, so Xue Jin just teased a few words, and he still knew it in his heart.The two of them actually don't have much to talk about, they just sit together drinking and gossiping, and occasionally one or two out of ten sentences will mention the past, but recalling the years when they were in the same class, Xue Jin inevitably thought of Gu coming.

It's not that he misses the other party so much, it's just that Gu Zhilin wiped Su Yao's ass that time, and they have to thank him.

At that time, there was a national competition with a relatively high gold content, but it was required to form a team to participate, so Xue Jin recruited Su Yao to make up the numbers—although this guy had no intention of learning, but his professional level was still good—there were a few others who chose him According to the recommendation list given by the professor, I invited them one by one, and they were basically successful, except for Gu Zhilin.

Gu Zhilin was already Wan Sennian's favorite student at that time, and he would either be admitted to graduate school or definitely enter Senke after graduation. He really didn't need the ranking in this competition to add icing on the cake, and the two of them had nothing to do with each other. It was not surprising that Xue Jin was rejected by him. Well, anyway, there are so many people in the law school, so it's not only him.Xue Jin didn't take it to heart, but Su Yao was a bit nervous, and somehow he heard that Gu Zhilin looked down on these playboys, so he went to find someone to reason with.

Xue Jin didn't know the specific theory, but in the end Gu Zhilin joined their team.He doesn't talk much, but he is very organized and efficient in his work, and his professional knowledge is also excellent. The whole team revolves around him and Xue Jin, and the preparation work efficiency is actually very high.

Most of Xue Jin's impressions of Gu Zhilin during college came from that one and a half months, and he didn't remember anything good, and I believe the other party is the same.But no matter what the process was, in the end their group survived strongly and won the first prize in the country, which surprised many people who predicted that they would split up early.

After all, there was already a disagreement in personality, and the discussion in the team was like a debate match. Although everyone was calm and never quarreled, everyone knew that it was impossible for Gu Zhilin to become friends with Xue Jin and Su Yao.In addition, after the competition, they would be promoted to senior year. Xue Jin had already decided to go abroad at that time, and he was busy with miscellaneous things for half a year. After the defense, he got on the plane and saw Gu Zhilin again because of the reception nearly two years ago.

Thinking about it this way, it's all Su Yao's fault.

Xue Jin leaned on the sofa in Yixin's private room, being bored and having a whim, he used his mobile phone to open Z University's official website and searched for photos from that year.Such photos are usually hung in the column of award-winning students in accordance with the school's consistent tradition. He scrolled down all the way to their class, and found their even a little funny group photo from the award-winning photos of various competitions.

Everyone was wearing casual clothes, as if no one took the competition seriously, they seemed out of place with the lively background and the trophies in their hands, especially Xue Jin and Gu Zhilin who stood in the middle, not only were there a gap between them, but their faces were also blurred. It's full of unfamiliarity.

Su Yao, who agreed to help, got a big deal later, and almost disappeared during the competition. In the end, the title of deputy team leader fell on the shoulders of Gu Zhilin, who was somehow obtained by him.The two of them are the backbone of the group, so although the bonus is shared equally, in the eyes of the teachers in the courtyard, the award almost all falls on Xue Jin and Gu Zhilin.Naturally, Xue Jin didn't need them to worry about it, so Gu Zhilin got the postgraduate qualification, but for some reason, he didn't succeed in this postgraduate study.

...Why are you here?

Xue Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that although he had been friends with sex for a year and a half, he and Gu Zhilin were really not familiar with each other.

They never talk about these things. After meeting, they spend most of their time in bed, and occasionally spend the night together, but they don't talk about each other's work and life.Xue Jin considers himself a very qualified bed partner, he doesn't like others to ask questions, and of course he doesn't open his mouth to ask other people's affairs casually, so that after a year and a half, he is sensitive to Gu Zhilin. Don't know anything else.

For some unknown reason, Xue Jin kept this matter in mind for several days, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked Feng Qingqing in a roundabout way.

"Gu Zhilin?" Suddenly receiving his call, Feng Qingqing was also taken aback, "I can't remember what happened so many years ago...won't you wait for me to go back and check the bbs?"

She used to work in the news department, and was one of the administrators of the school forum bbs at that time. She did know a lot of gossip, but she didn't know Gu Zhilin himself. It had been several years, so there was no reason to remember the other party's affairs so clearly. .

"...No need, I'll just ask casually." Xue Jin also felt that it was a bit unrealistic to ask her, "Go ahead, Lei Lei will be out of school soon, and I won't bother you."

"It's early, it's only two o'clock." Feng Qingqing replied with a smile, but actually hung up the phone.

Xue Jin leaned on the back of his chair in a daze for a while, and belatedly realized that he seemed to be doing something strange—he asked someone why Gu Zhilin didn't go to graduate school, but Feng Qingqing didn't know that he and Gu Zhilin were doing something strange. What is the relationship between Lin and their original wind comment... It is hard to imagine what kind of thoughts will diverge.

But he was suddenly curious.Gu Zhilin was different from him. During the one-month preparation period for the competition, he discovered that this person wanted to do academic research, and he also had his own point of view when discussing issues, and he didn't copy all the big names. train of thought.Xue Jin even thought that Gu Zhilin would go all the way to a Ph. D., because not only Wan Sennian, but almost all the professors in the Z University Law School did not appreciate him. As long as he thought about it, staying in school would definitely not be difficult.

But Gu Zhilin finally graduated from the departmental examination and obtained a certificate in one go, and entered Senke for an internship early on, which surprised everyone.Xue Jin was very busy abroad at that time, and no one thought of telling him about it. It was not until he returned to China after graduation and chatted with Luo Shan that he was told that Gu Zhilin had already worked as a lawyer at Sunco.

Luo Shan provoked him to go back to Jiangcheng with this matter, but Xue Jin didn't think much about it. He felt that the environment in Jiangcheng was really good, and his alma mater provided talent resources, so he really came back.

He didn't expect to meet Gu Zhilin again so soon. After the reunion, the relationship quickly derailed, and he never thought about it again.

Now that I think about it, it's really weird.
