why not

He hesitated between good performance and being low-key and well-behaved.

I thought it would be better to ask for Xie Huaijin.

He took the initiative to say hello and said, "Hello, what kind of things are you here to consult?"

"I'm looking for Xie Huaijin from your place, is Xie Lu there?"

Yue Xiaolou smiled half-closed his eyes, looking at Xie Huaijin's formal attire.

The dark gray suit that is most likely to look old-fashioned contrasts with her chic and neat, low-key black flat shoes.The waist is slender, and the suit pants wrap around the slender and straight legs.

The white shirt inside is buttoned all the way.

The gray suit jacket reveals the cuffs of the pure white shirt, the wrist bones are slender, and the fingers are slender and knuckles.

So beautiful.

She was so excited that she wanted to scratch the wall, but she still had to hold back.

Xie Huaijin stared at her for a few seconds.

Carrying her bag, she brushed past her and interrupted Li Yanran, who was about to speak, "She's already off work."

Yue Xiaolou immediately turned his head and followed her closely.

"Then when does she go to work?"

"..."

Xie Huaijin stopped suddenly.He stopped too fast and almost ran into Yue Xiaolou who was following too closely.

"Is there anything?"

Her tone was flat, so Yue Xiaolou restrained his smile.She nodded slowly, lowered her eyes, and said very seriously: "There is something, very troublesome. I have to rely on Huai Jin for your help."

Chapter 10 010

"You talk about it first."

Yue Xiaolou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his back to relieve the tension, and said in a low tone: "I opened a small restaurant, and then there was a problem with the rent. The landlord said that the rent must be raised, although the contract has not yet maturity……"

She looked at her expression from under her long eyelashes, and said nazily, "I don't understand this aspect, but if I follow the landlord's request, it may be more cost-effective for my small restaurant to close down directly."

Li Yanran sensed the subtle atmosphere between them, and said rather cleverly: "Why don't you sit down and talk slowly, and I'll pour coffee."

Seeing that Xie Huaijin had no objection, she left first.

"sit down."

Xie Huaijin glanced at the sofa, walked over, and sat down.

Yue Xiaolou walked behind her, sitting obediently, "Do you want to charge consulting fees? Do you need to read any contracts? Can the lawyer's fees be paid in advance?"

The long eyelashes are blinking, and the face is full of me being rich, come and cheat me for money...

It was short of making a sign with the words "big fat sheep to be slaughtered" on its head.

Xie Huaijin closed her eyes tightly, opened them, and sighed helplessly.

"Come back next Friday. Remember to bring the contract with you. It's just to help you figure out a way. If you send a lawyer's letter by the way, there will be no charge."

"How can there be no fee?" Yue Xiaolou sat up straight and rubbed his fingers, "The legal major is so difficult, the judicial examination is so difficult, and looking at the contract will waste time."

She noticed that the speed of speech became faster and the ending sound dropped.

Weakly and pitifully, he said, "Why do you watch it for free..."

Xie Huaijin: "..."

Those who didn't know thought it was because she refused to pay and bullied the new lawyer.

"It's nothing," Xie Huaijin felt annoyed, knowing that she was putting on a show, but still couldn't completely ignore the annoyance, "Don't worry about it. At least I was a classmate, although not at the same level."

"Although we are not students of the same grade, we have been roommates."

Yue Xiaolou raised his eyes suddenly, and answered the words a little abruptly.

"En." Xie Huaijin responded, without any special reaction, and asked her, "Is there anything else?"

"It's a rare reunion after a long absence, we should have a dinner together."

Yue Xiaolou didn't hesitate at all, and quickly replied: "There is a roast meat restaurant in Xishui Street that is very good, and the Japanese restaurant next to it is also very good, and the hot pot restaurant next to it is also very good. What do you want to eat?"

Xie Huaijin lowered her eyes, seemed to be thinking for a few seconds, and shook her head.

"I'm on a business trip tomorrow, and my things haven't been sorted out yet."

Yue Xiaolou blinked his long eyelashes, unexpectedly didn't bother him much, and said in a low voice, "Where are you going on a business trip? Is it fighting bad guys? Is it as dangerous as the ones in TV dramas?"

"Do business bankruptcy."

"That's so powerful," Yue Xiaolou didn't know how to do it, "Isn't it a financial person who bankrupted the company?"

Xie Huaijin let her talk nonsense without correcting her, "Lawyers are fine too."

"Lawyers are great."

Yue Xiaolou followed her, showing courtesy, "Why are you going home? I'm driving, let me see you off."

"It's more convenient for me to take the subway."

"Oh I forgot, I didn't drive today. I have to take the subway too."

"..."

Xie Huaijin stopped and turned to look at her, "Yue Xiaolou, tell me first which line you are on?"

"Just go in at Exit [-] here, Line [-]. My family lives in the south, do you want to go back and sit with me?"

Xie Huaijin underestimated Yue Xiaolou's shamelessness, thinking that she found this place only by asking around, but in fact, she had already bought the materials.She even knows where she lives.

With a smile on her face, she had already quickly calculated Xie Huaijin's route home.

"..."

Xie Huaijin said flatly, "That just so happens, we are on the way."

Although it was on the way, Xie Huaijin was only one stop away by subway.

Just one stop along the way.

Yue Xiaolou waved and said goodbye to Xie Huaijin obediently, his smile collapsed.

In a daze, thinking about what to do next...

She is a freelancer, and it is true that she can run around and follow her on business trips, but even with her toes, she knew that Xie Huaijin would be angry.

It's better than when I was a student.

The school is so big, as long as you think about it, you can see each other all the time.Put two large denomination shopping cards into the fù female director of the dormitory management department, and you can transfer the dormitory and live with the goddess.

If you are alone for too long, you really don't feel lonely.

I thought that as long as the time is long enough, Xie Huaijin can be completely forgotten.The result is still not possible.From time to time, in various inexplicable times and occasions, I suddenly think of her.

That kind of dull pain is more painful than cutting flesh directly.

Sometimes she even looked at the scenery and when she came back to her senses, she would find that she almost jumped off the stairs just now.

Depression that is hard to cure.

It's just that I can't fantasize about how I have an accident and die every day.Did not experience the joy of being alive.

see her again

Like the first time she took Deanxit, the heavy and arduous task of living suddenly became lighter, and her heartbeat returned to her chest cavity.The false brilliance performed by the marionette becomes softer.

Sure enough, only when Xie Huaijin appeared in her world, would she not be a walking dead.

When Yue Xiaolou was silent in his memory, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

At the end of the evening rush hour, the seats are gone, but the compartment is still relatively empty.

She was wearing a round-neck plaid dress that covered her knees and thighs, and her black pantyhose were slightly transparent at the knees.

A man lowered his body, taking advantage of the slight bumps in the car, arched his waist, and his crotch vaguely rubbed against the inside of her knee.

Yue Xiaolou raised his face, he was taking out his mobile phone from his bag, and was about to reply to the message.

Stop texting.

He didn't avoid it, just looked straight at it.

It seemed that she was very helpless.

The man didn't pay attention to her gaze at all, his crotch didn't move, he pulled the armrest and pressed his body, pretending to be natural.

There are people next to each other in the carriage, so it's not too empty.

Yue Xiaolou had his bag on his lap, and his untouched cell phone in his hand.

Without moving his brows, he edited the text message again.

The car bumped again, very slightly, but the man took the opportunity to rub over.The moment his crotch came over, Yue Xiaolou raised his leg.

She put all her weight on her right leg.

It was only about five centimeters up, and people around couldn't see what happened, and the man screamed instantly.He covered his crotch and stared at Yue Xiaolou with red eyes in disbelief.

The eyes of the whole car are all looking over.

Yue Xiaolou raised his lips and even smiled at him.

Gritting his teeth, the man squeezed through the crowd and moved to the back of the carriage in small steps.

Yue Xiaolou maintained his sitting posture without moving his brows.

Keep sending messages.

In fact, she knew that Xie Huaijin would not be able to make an appointment today, and she had made an appointment for another dinner tonight.

Yue Xiaolou's main source of income is gnawing on the old.

The fixed assets given to her by her father and the operating income of various stores are stable at more than six figures every month.I work part-time as a magazine model and earn a little pocket money of tens of thousands of dollars.

The advantage is that it is next to the fashion industry and it is a big company, so all kinds of people can get on the line.

Tonight's dinner is to celebrate the company's listing.

This kind of pure meal, Yue Xiaolou could have pushed it away, but the day before yesterday I heard that Zhu Tongtong's brother Zhu Hanning was also going.Zhu Tongtong and her are considered friends, and they go shopping occasionally.

Both of them are not short of money, and come out to work part-time to earn pocket money.

Her brother Zhu Hanning is a lawyer from the same school as Xie Huaijin, the same major, and the same class.

Based on this, Yue Xiaolou must know him.

In a traditional Chinese dinner, people who are familiar and of the same status sit at the same table.

Zhu Tongtong was next to Yue Xiaolou, but her brother sat at the same table with the boss to drink and talk about things.While warming up with Zhu Tongtong, she thought about how to get acquainted with her brother.

"Tongtong, it's not far from here, about a turn around the opposite side, that Japanese grocery store is very, very delicious."

Yue Xiaolou ate the food, and said to her quietly, "Don't be full yet, let's go eat sushi later, okay, let's treat the guests."

"What's the matter, suddenly want to eat Japanese food?"

"Well, I've been watching Japanese TV dramas lately and I'm so hungry," Yue Xiaolou chatted with her, and said with a smile, "And you're about to quit soon? By the way, call them all and let's form a game by ourselves."

Zhu Tongtong is still young, working part-time as a magazine model while studying in high school. Hearing this, she nodded: "Okay, can I bring my brother with me? He won't let me go home late."

"Okay," Yue Xiaolou took the Sprite next to her and poured her a drink, "Don't get too full, that restaurant is really delicious..."

"Sister, did you secretly get rich?"

Wang Yuwei next to me heard it, and said with a smile, "I remember that store was very expensive, five or six hundred per person."

"Secretly," Yue Xiaolou said softly, "I'm about to quit. So I invite you to have a meal together at the end, and we will continue to praise each other on Weibo in the future."

The little girl next to her laughed, "Did you receive a big promotion from someone?"

"No."

……

After the dinner, they are ready to go to the second store.

Yue Xiaolou purposely chose that the seats in this Japanese grocery store were not big enough, and the people in their circle could only sit at two tables.Holding Zhu Tongtong's arm, she walked naturally into the small private room.Anyway, she was paying the bill, so of course the people who came with her had no objections.

Had another sushi meal and drank some sake.

Zhu Hanning looks like a shy type, but he is actually very good at chatting, otherwise he would not be a lawyer.But coming here is obviously a good brother's position, basically joking around my sister.

The atmosphere is good.

Yue Xiaolou talked about studying abroad.

Zhu Hanning naturally talked about what happened in the law school.Thinking that Xie Huaijin might have experienced the same, she wished she could even inquire about the dishes in the cafeteria.

Zhu Tongtong complained: "I am very happy now, but it is very painful to think of going abroad to take the TOEFL test."

Zhu Hanning said, "You don't want to memorize words, what can you do?"

Yue Xiaolou drank from a straw, raised his eyes, and glanced at Zhu Tongtong.

After taking the conversation, she asked with a smile, "How many TOEFL scores are required for the school that Tongtong wants to take?"

"Eighty or so is basically fine, and ninety is more stable."

"A plan to prepare for the exam, do you have an idea?"

"Not at all, I don't have a clue at all," Zhu Tongtong raised her eyelids, with a bitter face, "I just passed CET-[-], how can I prepare for the TOEFL? It's better to kill me."

"I was very annoyed by the TOEFL test, but I still passed the test. There are a lot of notes and materials. If you have any questions, you can ask me. My score is not high, only [-]. I taught you to Ninety should be just enough."

Yue Xiaolou smiled bluntly, "Your brother is a super powerful college bully, how can they understand the difficulties of us scumbags in studying, right?"

Zhu Tongtong laughed immediately, "Is it really possible?"

"Well, I happen to be very free these days."

"Why help her?" Zhu Hanning said with a smile, "As stupid as a pig, teaching her is very hard."

"Helping her can also consolidate my knowledge, and," Yue Xiaolou pursed his lips, with a soft smile on his face, and said in a natural tone, "she is so cute. Since I can help her, of course I want to help her A helping hand."

She thought to herself that Zhu Hanning might be able to help her a lot.

Such a person should not be let go.

Chapter 11 011

Xie Huaijin came home from a business trip, took a shower, and went out to grandpa's house for dinner without stopping.

She went abroad to study and work, and there were really many quarrels at home.

This time it was a family dinner, but everyone knew that the old man's theme was to persuade her to go home to "do business" and not waste time.Xie Huaijin was supposed to go to the criticism meeting.

She originally wanted to delay it for a year or so, not to mention this cold treatment, because she couldn't stand Gu Linzong's stalking.

Grandpa is really anxious.

Can you not be in a hurry?

Hundreds of millions of property have no one to inherit.

In the villa, two aunts were preparing dinner.

The older Aunt Li, with half-haired hair and reading glasses, took Xie Huaijin's bag with a smile and brought her slippers, "My sister is home, it's not hard work, I made a steak today, it's delicious."

Xie Huaijin lived in her grandfather's house since she was a child, and it can be said that she was brought up by Aunt Li.Rural women in the south always like to call their children 团囡 and the little girls who grow up are called sisters.

Xie Huaijin couldn't help laughing: "Didn't I say that steak is something barbarians eat when I was young?"

"Hey," Aunt Li also laughed, quickly waving her hands to deny it, "I never said it, I definitely didn't."

"Auntie doesn't want to make it for me."

From behind Aunt Li, came a little girl with double ponytails.She folded her arms and looked at Xie Huaijin who hadn't seen him for a long time, "If you said you wanted to eat steak back then, auntie would have learned it ten years earlier."

"Sister," Gu Linzong came out. He didn't know if he had heard Wang Yiting's words, but he immediately relieved him, "You're late. I came here on an empty stomach to try Aunt Li's dishes. I was starving to death."

Xie Huaijin looked at Gu Linzong, turned her head to the left, expressing doubts.

Gu Linzong put his thumb against his thumb, index finger to index finger, made a triangle gesture, and let go in half a second.

The situation is not good, medium warning.

She walked in behind Aunt Li and nodded.

Gu Linzong gestured dog-leggedly to cheer.

Both Xie Huaijin and Gu Linzong's parents were very busy. They were thrown at their grandfather's house since they were young, and they also climbed over walls and trees.Skipping tuition and skipping classes was caught, it was this mutual winking to cover.

Of course, Xie Huaijin was basically there to cover him, and it was rare for him to come in handy.

Wang Yiting stared at the small movements between the two of them, her teeth clenched in anger, and the manicure covered with rhinestones was pinched into the palm of her hand.It hurt so much, I let go immediately.Reluctantly followed in.

Every now and then, she would be thrown here by her parents to speak with her grandfather, but her status in the heart of the old man was not comparable to that of Xie Huaijin who had been abroad for five or six years.
