Late ripening

Rubbing warm palms on his eyes, Lu Qian leaned back on the chair and rested for 10 minutes, then put his glasses back on and stared at the computer screen.

It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and he planned to change the documents for a while before going to rest.Such a day and night upside-down schedule is normal for lawyers, and it’s not even upside down. It’s just that once they get busy, they work day and night without stopping.

Coincidentally, before coming to Beijing, he took over the new M&A project that had just started, and he brought along young lawyers who had just arrived in the firm, so he was naturally busier.

The writing work can be done on the computer, and he also pushed off many things that could be pushed to other lawyers to socialize.Lu Qian felt a little guilty, so he took on some extra work that junior lawyers had no time to do.

When it was five o'clock, Lu Qian rubbed his extremely stiff neck and shoulders, and went to the bathroom to wash hastily.The self in the mirror was exhausted, the dark circles under the eyes seemed to have deepened, and the redness continued unabated.

He is very tired, which is the greatest feeling physically, but there is hope in his heart.He set the alarm clock for seven o'clock, lay down on the bed and fell into a not-so-deep sleep.

The dream still belonged to Jing Yan, maybe because he was closer to him, instead of repeated parting and quarreling, there would be occasional two people sitting quietly together.

It's just that people often wake up just as soon as they touch him.Lu Qian groaned and groped to turn off the alarm clock with his hands beside the pillow. His head hurt a little. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples for a while, hoping that he would look better when he woke up.

He can expose his shortcomings in front of Jing Yan, but he doesn't want him to see himself helpless and tired.

After waking up, he responded to a few work messages, and when he came out of the shower, he saw Mrs. Yu called him, so he called back.

He babbled a few homely words over there, and asked him how Jing Yan was again.

"The mental state is better, better than when I was at home...Well, I know, I will definitely go if I can take him...No, I won't..."

Lu Qian took a deep breath, and didn't know whether to speak to himself in the mirror or Yu Sao. "I'll take good care of him, and I won't leave him alone."

He didn't just say what he said casually, he was ready to stay here for a long time, but fortunately, his status as a partner didn't require him to show up at the office on time.Except for some essential meetings and meeting clients, he can accompany Jing Yan anytime and anywhere.

After hanging up the phone, he sent Jing Yan a "Good morning".The information bar is full of dialog boxes that he sent, Jing Yan never replied, and he didn't even show as read.

Lu Qian still smiled wryly at the beginning, this is probably his own fault.He has been deleted as a WeChat friend by the other party long ago, but he still has chat records, which are all evidence of his cold and violent treatment of Jing Yan.

He was willing to swallow the bitter pill, because he knew that Jing Yan had experienced a more uncomfortable feeling than this.He poured cold water on the other person into a piece of ice, but it didn't matter, he had always had a higher body temperature than Jing Yan, and he was willing to lean against him naked to help him melt.

Jing Yan walks back

When he was in the dormitory, he deliberately avoided the window sill. He didn't want to look downstairs, even if it was just an unintentional glance.

He opened the cabinet and changed his clothes. Before opening the door, he still did a lot of mental construction for himself.

Don't hide in a guilty conscience, just walk away as if you didn't see it.

During this period of time, he has indeed become more independent, and he no longer cares about or avoids many things, and he doesn't know whether to thank Lu Qian or his life in Beijing.

Walking out of the door, Lu Qian sat under the tree as usual, but looked at the phone with his brows furrowed, as if he had something very troublesome to find him.

Jing Yan pretended not to see it, and walked over quickly.But Lu Qian always had a bit of an advantage over him physically, so he walked over in two steps and slightly blocked him.

"Going out with friends? I bought quicksand bags for you, and they are still warm. I just wonder if there are any delicious ones made at home."

Jing Yan's nerves twitched a few times, and he walked away.Lu Qian followed behind, "Come back at what time at night, do you want me to pick it up? Do you have enough money? Don't go too far away..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Yan stood a meter or two away from him, and looked back at him coldly.You don't even need to speak, your eyes say it all.

Lu Qian's phone rang again, he pressed it abruptly, and took advantage of Jing Yan's distraction to stuff the bun into his hand. "Don't say drive me away, you know what I want, or just let me stay with you like this?"

Jing Yan held back the words "Get out of here" that wanted to come out of his mouth, he didn't have such rude and unreasonable thoughts towards anyone.But as soon as he meets Lu Qian, he becomes unlike himself.

When the bus stopped at the platform, Jing Yan turned around and left when he saw that it was the bus he wanted to take.There was no trash can nearby, so he couldn't just throw the buns around.

Lu Qian stood below and looked at him, the bruises in his eyes seemed to lighten a little when he smiled.

Today is not out to play, but to send Liang Shiyu and Shu Yue home.After eating outside at noon, and buying some snacks with them, the three of them arrived at the airport slowly.

I originally bought a ticket for [-]:[-] pm, but there happened to be a typhoon over there in S City, and the flight was repeatedly delayed.

Liang Shiyu was sitting on a chair playing a mobile game, and Shu Yue tidied up the things in the bag again. "Next time you are on vacation, come to Beijing with Yao Yihang. It won't be so hot then, but the air is not so good."

"Okay." Shu Yue agreed with a smile, "Then when will you go home..."

Jing Yan avoided her gaze and stared at his old shoes. "Exchange students have to stay for a year. I feel nauseous every time I fly. Let's talk about it after the junior year."

Liang Shiyu put her phone down and sat aside with her arms crossed with a stern face, "You have hidden here, why is that person still following? Why can't you drive away!"

"It's not all to avoid him," Jing Yan was dumbfounded when she heard Lu Qian described as being like a fly. "Eat a pit to gain wisdom, I came here to be more independent, although I really want to avoid those things and let myself come out..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, but he didn't feel like crying easily like before.

"I'll be very busy when school starts on Monday in two weeks. If I don't have time to see him, he will always know how to go."

Not knowing whether he wanted to appease his friends who were worried about him or to persuade himself, Jing Yan thought about it and added another sentence. "He's not as impulsive as you think. When he comes back to his senses, it's all over."

The flight didn't take off until ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jing Yan watched the two of them enter the security check area, and waved slightly.

Just as Liang Shiyu walked over, she pointed at the phone vigorously, as if she wanted Jing Yan to see something.

He turned on his mobile phone, and a message came from the group, "Oops, how are you going back so late. Is there a gate control in your dormitory?"

Jing Yan typed slowly, and thought for a while before replying. "It's okay, I'll see if I can talk to the supervisor, if it doesn't work, I'll find an Internet cafe to make do for the night."

Before he finished typing, Yao Yihang sent messages in the group. "You two still want Jing Yan to send you off? Liang Shiyu, didn't you go to Beijing to look for your uncle during the summer vacation? It's not that you don't know the way!"

The two of them quarreled in the group, Jing Yan smiled and just sent the message, Yao Yihang sent him another message alone.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Song Bo to pick you up."

Jing Yan quickly wanted to say no, but Song Bo's call had already come in.

"You wait for me at the exit of the terminal where you can park your car, and send me the location when you get there." Before Jing Yan could evade, he hung up the phone.

Jing Yan really didn't want to bother anyone, so he called again and wanted to tell him that he could take a taxi back.Who knew that Song Bo didn't answer, and immediately sent an automatic reply. "I'm driving, please call back later."

He had no choice but to wait there.It was rare for Lu Qian not to make a phone call today, Jing Yan didn't care, he just felt relaxed.

Song Bo parked the car in front of him and motioned him to come up quickly. "At this point, your dormitory will be closed soon, right?"

Jing Yan hesitated and wondered whether he should go back to the dormitory supervisor and try to intercede, but also felt that it would be more convenient to simply find an Internet cafe.

"Why don't you go and stay at my place for one night, the apartment the school allocated to me outside is quite clean." Song Bo felt that Jing Yan was really too easy to guess, so he easily broke his mind.

Jing Yan actually didn't want to disturb others, but he only went to the Internet cafe twice with Yao Yihang.It was a bit messy, crowded and noisy, he was still struggling, Song Bo turned the steering wheel.

"Are you still going to the library tomorrow? You still have to rest a little bit before you can do your job seriously." In fact, he didn't take that job seriously at all, it was just coaxing the children.

Jing Yan seemed to be moved by this statement, and nodded slightly.
