Difficult office romance

The car was parked downstairs at Ke Ran's house. Cen Jing unlocked the car and said to Ke Ran, "Go, don't worry this time, I'll wait for you downstairs."

He hasn't been here for a long time, can he remember it by himself?

Cen Jing thought to himself in his heart.

Ke Ran didn't rush to open the door and ran out again, he turned his head and said to Cen Jing, "Let's go up together."

"What?" Cen Jing turned to look at him.

"I have to change my whole body." He showed Cen Jing the result of running out to hand in the bid just now, and his whole body was wet.

So I don’t bring an umbrella. If I run in the rain with an umbrella, I will still get wet.

"I guess it's a waste of time. You should go up to catch your breath too. You've been stuck in the car for so long." Ke Ran said apologetically.

Cen Jing sighed, "Then I'll go and park the car in the temporary parking space."

"it is good."

After returning home, Ke Ran first poured Cen Jing a glass of water and then ran into the bedroom.

Cen Jing sat on the sofa and looked around the small house, no different from the last time he came here.

The only difference is that it's messier.

Of course, he didn't seem to find any trace of another person living here.

Cen Jing took a sip of water in satisfaction.

Ke Ran changed a suit of clothes and ran out again. Cen Jing checked the time carefully, it was only 5 minutes.

Is this a waste of time?

When did Ke Ran cherish time so much?

But he wasn't prepared to be cheap and behave well, just pretend that Ke Ran wanted to stay with him in this house for a while longer.

Just as Cen Jing was about to stand up and leave with Ke Ran, he saw Ke Ran running straight into the kitchen again.

Then there was the sound of the range hood in the kitchen.

Ke Ran is... hungry?

After another 5 minutes, Ke Ran put a plate of fried rice mixed with ham, corn and eggs in front of him.

What do you mean?

Cen Jing couldn't figure out what Ke Ran was thinking.

"Well...it's pretty good." He said hesitantly.

It's always safe to say a good word.

Ke Ran pushed the plate in front of him again, "Fortunately, there are leftover pine nut corn and a large bowl of cold rice in the refrigerator, you can eat it today."

"Give me something to eat?" Cen Jing was surprised.

"That's right." Ke Ran looked at Cen Jing calmly and said, "When I went to hand in the bids just now, I heard lawyers from other firms say that today's weather made him go out without eating lunch in order not to be late. gone."

He paused, and continued: "What Wu Hang insisted on reminding you just now is that you haven't eaten yet, right? I should have thought that if you usually have something to do in the morning, you would go directly downstairs to eat at noon at noon."

Cen Jing was still in a daze.

Ke Ran took out his phone, turned on the timer, set the time, and shook the screen of the phone in front of Cen Jing, "Don't look at me, you still have 10 minutes to finish this plate of fried rice."

Cen Jing lived up to Ke Ran's expectations and finished eating in less than 10 minutes, and he ate very cleanly.

To be honest, Ke Ran’s bowl of fried rice was quite mediocre when time was tight and materials were limited, but in the mouth of Cen Jing, who felt hungry only after seeing the real thing, it could already be regarded as the best of delicious food.

Watching Ke Ran throw the plate on the dining table that he ate cleanly without a grain of rice left, Cen Jing touched his nose, "Let me wash it."

When Ke Ran turned his head, he saw Cen Jing rubbing his nose and slightly tilting his head to a corner, feeling a little amused.

Do you start worrying about your image after eating?I didn't realize that you paid so much attention when we were together.

He felt that the aura between the two seemed to have returned to when he chased Cen Jing at the beginning, and the roles had been reversed.

Then I remembered what Lu Qingyu said: "Why don't you think you ignored his emotions?"

If Lu Qingyu hadn't reminded him, maybe he wouldn't have taken Cen Jing's little action to heart.

Ke Ran felt that perhaps he had started to ignore it a long time ago.

"Don't wash it, hurry back to the office, we have been delayed for a long time."

"it is good."

Cen Jing picked up the car keys and went out with Ke Ran.

In fact, he felt that it was possible to waste a little more time. Shopping for food, cooking dinner, watching a ball game or watching a movie were better than rushing back to the office.

And they still work in their own teams.

Isn’t that how lawyers’ flexible working hours are used?When is there no need to wait any longer?

But Cen Jing didn't bring it up, it seemed a little too unprofessional and too impatient to do so.

He didn't want to force Ke Ran, even a little bit.

Ever since Ke Ran felt that he had overlooked a lot of things, he began to observe Cen Jing seriously and without any trace.

He thought he observed Cen Jing without any trace.

Fortunately, Cen Jing, who was driving, was not in the mood to pay attention to Ke Ran.

Ke Ran noticed that the corners of Cen Jing's mouth would occasionally lift up, and then he pressed it down again. He stretched out the tip of his tongue a little to lick his lips, then retracted, and pursed his lips slightly.

Cen Jing looked a little happy, but was tried hard to hide it.

Is it because a hungry person finally eats hot fried rice, or because a sentient person finally eats food cooked by another sentient person?

Ke Ran no longer evaded this time, and believed with great confidence that the latter was more.

Confidence was given by Cen Jing. Only after he discovered these traces did he realize that Cen Jing had always given him confidence.

Cen Jing's stretched brows gathered together again, and he sighed softly, looking a little remorseful.

Because of not maintaining a good image?

Ke Ran thinks that Cen Jing will care, but he doesn't care all the time, so what is Cen Jing regretting now?

Unable to figure it out, Ke Ran attributed this remorse to the fact that Cen Jing may have encountered a difficult case recently.

As for Cen Jing, he was still thinking about "flexible working hours".

Cen Jing unexpectedly discovered that after that heavy rainy day, the distance between him and Ke Ran was gradually getting closer.

The two of them are no longer shy about meeting each other, and when they meet, they can talk a few words more than before.

When you glance at me and say something, your heartbeat will occasionally speed up.

This is a wonderful and familiar feeling, which makes Cen Jing feel that the seasons are no longer distinct, but in the deep winter weather, it seems to see new buds sprouting from dead branches, and occasionally one or two small flowers bloom.

Some people may be nostalgic for this feeling, but he wants to go further.

Whenever Cen Jing wanted to find Ke Ran to explain clearly, but he remembered the back of Ke Ran running away in a hurry that night.

He had made it obvious that night, and Ke Ran's evasive attitude was also obvious.

Maybe Ke Ran is one of the people who enjoy this feeling?

Or maybe the sprouts and flowers are all my own wishful thinking?

After failing once, Cen Jing felt that he was starting to shrink back emotionally.

No, let Ke Ran see my initiative, Cen Jing thought.

However, the work schedule for the next period of time did not give him more time to take the initiative. The full schedule of meetings, court sessions, lectures, and meetings almost took up all of Cen Jing's time except eight hours of sleep.

On the day when Sun Youde’s review results came out, he was still giving lectures at school. His work was too slow, so the ppts used for the lectures were all made by staying up late the night before. He had no intention of sleeping at this time, because he wanted to go home to catch up on sleep after the end. After class, I drove to the office.

Yan Lieqi was waiting for him in the office.

They all know that this result is fair, but at least today, they still find it difficult to accept.

This is the fifth death penalty case handled by Cen Jing, and it is strictly scheduled... countless numbers.

Among these six people, Cen Jing had saved the lives of three people. After endangering public safety last time, this was the third person he sent away.Yan Lieqi's condition didn't look very good, but he still stepped forward to pat Cen Jing on the shoulder, "If you want to be more open, you will always encounter such a situation."

Cen nodded, "I will adjust as soon as possible."

"Last time when I was in such a situation, let's do it this time." Yan Lieqi wanted to sound more relaxed, but to no avail, so the relaxed content was paired with a heavy tone, and there was a kind of black Hilariously funny.

Last time?Cen Jing recalled in his mind.

It seems that I spent the afternoon groggy at home, and then gradually recovered.

No, then Ke Ran came, and he gradually recovered.

This time...

Ke Ran was neither his boyfriend nor his assistant, so he no longer had the prerequisite to appear by his side.

"I will."

But obviously there is no need to share these details with Yan Lieqi.

"You can deal with the client's side, please let me know if you need help."

"it is good."

There is no need for a review anymore. Cen Jing and Yan Lieqi are not fanatics of defense theory, and they still have a lot of work to do, so naturally they won't talk for a long time.

This case is now completely closed.

Cen Jing calmed down his mood again before picking up the phone to communicate with the client. Unlike what he expected, Sun Youde's mother did not have very strong emotions. After repeated disappointments, the old man was already emotionally exhausted. Unbearable, the only reason to persevere at this time is that she has another chance to see her son.

Desperately, it was also the last time.

The old man did not complain about Cen Jing. On the contrary, she sincerely thanked the three lawyers on the phone for their hard work for Sun Youde. She also knew that Lusi had tried her best, and her son really made a big mistake this time.

It's not this time either, maybe the son was wrong from the beginning, she didn't stop it, the son didn't regret it, they can't blame others.

Not long after Cen Jing hung up on the phone with Sun Youde's mother, another call came in. Sun Kai said that he would invite several lawyers to have a meal no matter what. Can't refuse.

He would also feel a little guilty when he met such a so-called social person.

In the end, because Yan Lieqi said that he was too old and had just found out that his blood lipids were a little high not to eat out some time ago, Ke Ran had already quit the work team. Cen Jing was the only lawyer present.
