After Ning Yuan finished his testimony, the first day of the trial also ended.

As a witness, Ning Yuan left the seat before Shen Lie. He sat on the bench outside the court and waited for Shen Lie. You can tell who is coming from your leather shoes.

He raised his head, and Dino teased him: "Doctor Ning, you really surprised me."

Ning Yuan was a little frustrated: "I know I screwed up."

"No, you didn't," Dino said, "You did a good job on it, I really didn't expect you to have such...a glib side."

Ning Yuan looked at him suspiciously: "I know what you want to say is mean."

Dino laughed.

Ning Yuan still sighed: "But no matter what, I was still asked by him."

"You shouldn't be annoyed by being questioned," Casey looked at his lovely black hair, and couldn't help but reach out and rub it. "Gary is a lawyer who doesn't comment on personal character. His face is ugly. The jury will see."

Ning Yuan felt much better. He just said thank you and before he finished, he saw Shen Lie walking out of the court with a briefcase in his hand.

As soon as Shen Lie raised his eyes, he saw the three of them: "...What are you doing?"

Ning Yuan hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

"I don't know," Shen Lie shrugged, "The jury probably has to go back and discuss it. It's still hard to say what the outcome will be."

Shen Lie saw Ning Yuan looking at him obsessively, like a puppy whose bones have been robbed.

Seeing him like that, Shen Lie liked him so much that he wanted to hug him and kiss him, but because he was outside, he could only cough lightly: "Go back first, and rest well, it will be a tough battle against You Xin tomorrow." .” After he finished speaking, he looked at his watch, “It’s getting late, let’s have a meal together first?”

Casey shook his head: "I promised Carl that I would watch Star Trek with him tonight."

Seeing the situation, Dino also said, "I'm not going either."

Casey glanced at Dino out of the corner of his eye, saw that he seemed to be feeling something, and turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened.

So the last meal became Shen Lie and Ning Yuan eating noodles at home.

Ning Yuan's tomato stewed noodles are delicious, and the taste is something that Shen Lie has never tasted before he met him after going abroad.

Shen Lie picked up his chopsticks and started to eat noodles, while Ning Yuan leaned on his cheek and looked at him.

Shen Lie slowed down his chewing, and after swallowing the noodles in his mouth, he stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of Ning Yuan's nose: "What are you looking at me for?"

Ning Yuan turned over the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks worriedly: "I'm a little worried about tomorrow's trial."

"There's nothing to worry about." Shen Lie picked a piece of beef from the bowl, blew it and stuffed it into Ning Yuan's mouth, "I did my best, you did your best, I'm sorry for everyone, other demands are useless."

Ning Yuan was stuffed with a mouthful of beef, and managed to chew it down: "But if this case is lost, for Visa, his family, Gavin who stood up bravely, and other tortured children, It's just too cruel."

"I know," Shen Lie put down his chopsticks, "but this world is a cruel world, all we can do is try our best to make it less cruel, and there are always some things we can't do no matter what .”

Ning Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "I understand the truth, but it is difficult to do it."

Shen Lie pulled him to his side even with the stool: "You are a psychiatrist, you should have seen more cases like this than I do."

"No matter how many times we see each other, the mood is the same every time." Ning Yuan looked down at the steam rising from the noodles, "If one day I get used to such things until I become numb, it would be terrible."

Shen Lie gently kissed his forehead, and did not speak any more.

The next morning, Shen Lie woke up very early, before the alarm clock rang.He turned his head to look at Ning Yuan who was still sleeping, reached out to touch his face, and then gently got up to take a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, Ning Yuan sat up and looked at him sleepily holding the quilt: "Morning..."

"Morning," Shen Lie took a towel and wiped his dripping hair, "Go to sleep, I'm going to court."

"Ah," Ning Yuan took the phone from the bedside table and looked at the time, "It's so late." He was about to get out of bed after speaking, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

Shen Lie pressed him on the bed: "You go to sleep, I'll go to the court to eat."

Ning Yuan widened his eyes, raised his body slightly and pecked at him: "There is no cafeteria in the court, where do you go to eat?"

Shen Lie turned this light kiss into a deep kiss, and after it was over, he reached out to wipe away the saliva from Ning Yuan's lips: "I haven't eaten at the dining car in front of the court for a long time since you came, the boss must miss me very much."

Now that Shen Lie said so, Ning Yuan really didn't want to get up, so he wiped his mouth, hugged the quilt and nestled in the quilt again, Shen Lie looked at him tenderly, and tucked the corner of the quilt for him.

Court No. [-]

Shen Lie sat down in his seat, within a few minutes, Gary and You Xin also came in, Gary and You Xin whispered a few words, and saw Shen Lie next to him.

After being slapped in the face several times instead of mocking him, Gary learned to be smart, at least he stopped provoking him.

Shen Lie glanced at them lazily. At this moment, the jury and Judge Parker came in. Judge Parker walked up to the judge's bench with a very pleasant tone: "Gentlemen, and honorable jurors, good morning," He looked at the defense and prosecution lawyers, "Are today's witnesses here?"

"Yes, Your Honor," Gary said, "the defense has summoned the accused Yosin Kirk."

"This court allows," Judge Parker nodded, "witnesses please attend."

Yusin stood up, walked to the witness stand, and sat down, when Gary began to ask questions.

"Dr. Kirk," Gary asked, "I heard you graduated from an Ivy League school in psychiatry, right?"

You Xin smiled: "That's right."

"What about when you graduate?"

"Objection," Shen Lie stood up, "What does the defense lawyer want to express?"

"A little patience, prosecutor?" Gary said slowly, "My client's education and experience are the prerequisites to prove that his treatment is absolutely scientific."

"The objection is invalid," said Judge Parker, "but please be careful with the defense counsel."

"Okay, Your Excellency," Gary gestured to Judge Parker, and then asked, "Dr. Kirk, before you established this addiction rehabilitation center, how many years of relevant experience did you have?"

"I've been doing this for at least 15 years," Youssin said, looking at the jury. "I've cured a lot of lost children."

Gary walked up to him: "I think these children should be very grateful to you."

You Xin's smile became more obvious: "After all, I gave them a new life."

Shen Lie felt sick to his stomach when he heard them flattering each other.
