secret galaxy

In the following week, Liang Qian changed his lazy style and arrived at the office on time at nine o'clock in the morning every morning, and left work with the administrative staff at six o'clock in the afternoon. A contract, two litigation representation cases were accepted, and the work arrangement was quite fulfilling.

He often met Duan Xinghe, but he never had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation. Duan Xinghe seemed to be always busy, and every time he squeezed through the gaps to give him a quick glance.

He called him Lawyer Liang.Liang Qian was not very happy, and asked him to call his name directly. Duan Xinghe smiled hesitantly and said that this is not very good.

Liang Qian guessed that Duan Xinghe probably didn't want his colleagues in the law firm to know about their relationship. He understood and respected it, but there was one thing that bothered him all the time. When he was typing on the computer, Liang Qian would occasionally stop. Look out through the glass of the office, and then think about what image he is in Duan Xinghe's eyes.

Is it the second child of ten thousand years who has successfully turned himself over, showing off in front of his former enemies all day long, or an old classmate who is plain and irrelevant, always taking the opportunity to catch up with old friends.

"Have you changed your mind in the past few days? You arrived at the institute after eight o'clock in the morning. I was shocked." Nie Han slipped into Liang Qian's office with a coffee cup in his hand, rested on the sofa while knocking on Erlang's legs, and sighed, "Your work Isn't the time from twelve noon to twelve o'clock at night?"

"It's changed, it's too unhealthy." Liang Qian typed the last punctuation mark, saved the document, and asked Nie Han how the court session was going a few days ago.

Nie Han is the youngest female partner of Xingbang. She is just 30 years old this year. She focuses on the field of marriage and family affairs, and has received the most divorce lawsuits.Her office is full of pennants, all of which are sent by female clients who have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. When sending the pennants, they occasionally bring reporters to publicize the professionalism and kindness of lawyer Nie, so that Nie Han quickly leaves Yuzhou. Name, stand firm.

In essence, being a lawyer is just a job to earn a living, but outside of their own work, everyone has more or less spiritual pursuits, which are called "morality" and "human nature". Accurate balance, naturally loved by customers.In this regard, Liang Qian was not close. He only took commercial cases, and businessmen pursued profits without much emotion, so the number of pennants was not as good as Nie Han.

"It shouldn't be a problem. Domestic violence is a certainty. It depends on how much divorce damages can be awarded." Nie Han fiddled with Liang Qian's rockery bonsai, full of hope for the verdict. After all, the presiding judge of this case is a female judge, and in In the field of family affairs, female judges tend to be more empathetic than male judges.She asked Liang Qian: "What about you? It's been a month since I returned to Xingbang, and it's time to start building a team."

Liang Qian didn't care about this matter at all, and said casually: "Further investigation and investigation. At present, I haven't taken up any major cases. With Jia Bin's help, I can still be busy."

"Well," Nie Han sipped his coffee, suddenly saw Duan Xinghe passing by the French window, and hurriedly called out: "Hey, Xinghe!"

Duan Xinghe stopped, stood by the threshold of the office, looked in with his head, glanced past Liang Qian, landed on Nie Han's face, and politely asked Lawyer Nie what he wanted.

"Please help me clean the office. The renovation on the 20th floor has covered the window sills with dust and the wastebasket is full." Nie Han put his hands together, made a friendly and cute face, and said thank you.

"It's okay." Duan Xinghe turned to leave, Liang Qian stopped him with a "Hi", saying that he would also come to my place to clean up later.

Duan Xinghe's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and left, Liang Qian disliked Nie Han's nymphomaniac, "It's so disgusting."

"What's the matter, Xinghe sounds so nice."

"You know what? He—"

Liang Qian paused for a long time, Nie Han raised her slender Liu Yemei and cast a suspicious look at him, but Liang Qian smiled and said nothing indifferently.

"Then I'll go back to work." Nie Han stomped away on high heels.

Liang Qian picked up a pen from the desk, flicked it between his index finger and middle finger, and silently recited the unspoken words in his heart.

Just now, he really wanted to tell Nie Han, do you know that Duan Xinghe used to be the first grader in Yuzhou Middle School, and he was admitted to the Physics Department of University B. If there is no accident, he should be a freshman in the scientific research cause of our country now Generation power.His idols are Einstein and Qian Xuesen. Really, he himself talked about it in the class meeting. The class teacher and physics teacher Zeng Liangli usually regarded him highly, and after listening to it, he was full of praise.

So, don't look at Duan Xinghe as just an unknown cleaner, in fact he is far more than that, and he shouldn't stop there.

Liang Qian remembered that after the class meeting ended, Duan Xinghe sat down quietly, touched his earlobe with his right hand, and then put it on his knee and clenched it into a fist.

At that time, Liang Qian's seat was right behind him, and it was the closest they had been in three years. He could see these details clearly. When Duan Xinghe bit his lip, he couldn't help being nervous.

Duan Xinghe carried a huge black garbage bag and symbolically knocked on the open door, "Lawyer Liang, I'm coming in."

He is wearing a round neck T-shirt today, the color is avocado green, and the pattern of the plane is printed on the chest, which looks green and tender, and slightly softens the cool temperament.

"Yeah." Liang Qian threw the ravaged pen back to the table, got up to clean up the wastebasket, and when he handed him the garbage bag, the two fingers touched.

"Student reunion tonight, do you know?"

Duan Xinghe shook his head, put a new bag on the wastebasket, then twisted the rag, bent down to wipe Liang Qian's desk.

"are you going?"

Duan Xinghe's movements stopped, he looked up at Liang Qian, the tear mole under his left eye seemed to be able to speak, lightly accusing him of his evil intentions.

"I don't discriminate against cleaning work, nor do I want to make you feel ashamed. It's just that you haven't participated in a classmate reunion after graduating from high school, so I asked. Zeng often misses you..." Liang Qian felt that his defense was getting paler, Exuding a dying breath, he simply kept silent, walked to the window, and looked down at the traffic coming and going on Beijing Road.

"I won't go," Duan Xinghe's tone was quite gentle, he paused for a while, and let out a self-deprecating chuckle, "Besides, I don't have any particularly good classmates."

Liang Qian teased him: "Isn't it Du Chen? You always play table tennis together in physical education class."

Duan Xinghe thought for a while, and seriously emphasized: "It's just physical education."

After wiping the table, he went to wipe the bookcase containing the files. In order to clean the top and corners, he stood on tiptoe and stretched his arms stiffly. This action lifted the clothes on his waist, exposing a piece of moist skin .

"Let me do it." Liang Qian was 1.8 meters six, taller than Duan Xinghe, and it was easier to do this job.As soon as he stepped forward, Duan Xinghe suddenly staggered a step, and his back bumped into his chest.

Liang Qian reflexively held Duan Xinghe's waist, then smiled and let go. The two apologized to each other and stood still at a distance.Liang Qian took the rag from Duan Xinghe, carefully scrubbed the top of the bookcase, and said, "There is so much dirt on it."

The office was quiet for a while, Duan Xinghe had nothing to do, he seemed a little out of sorts, and couldn’t keep staring at Liang Qian, so he pointed to the stack of documents next to the potted plant and asked if it was invalid, and he could help get the shredder deal with it there.

"No, just rest. Sit on the sofa for a while."

Duan Xinghe refused to sit down, and stood stubbornly by the side, looking at Liang Qian indifferently.

Liang Qian recalled some past events and suddenly smiled: "It's like being on duty in high school. Do you remember that we used to be in a duty group for a while."

Duan Xinghe said: "When you sit diagonally behind me."

At that time, the class changed seats every half term, so for more than two months, they were "forced" to entangle because of the relationship between the front and back desks, such as the four-person group discussion in the class, or the hygiene duty. Unavoidable co-participation.

Liang Qian was not sure whether the relationship between them had become closer in those two months, but they did talk more than usual.

Their tablemates are girls, and every time there is a cleanup, Liang Qian and Duan Xinghe take the initiative to clean the glass, leaving them the easy work of taking out the trash and sweeping the floor.

When cleaning the glass, Liang Qian and Duan Xinghe were one in the classroom and the other in the corridor, stepping on the stool and vigorously waving the rag. If any stain was not from their side, they would knock on the window to remind each other. Occasionally, they would look at each other and smile at each other naturally. .

The classmates said that Duan Xinghe was cold, but in Liang Qian's impression, he laughed a lot.

"I'm going to the class reunion tonight, and I haven't seen them for many years."

"Yeah." Duan Xinghe was silent for a few seconds, then added, "Have fun."

"Are you not afraid that I will tell them your current situation?"

After Liang Qian finished wiping the cabinet, he turned around and faced Duan Xinghe. There was no smile on his handsome face, and the slightly protruding browbones added majesty and momentum.He is very serious about asking this question.

Duan Xinghe was taken aback for a moment, then he pursed the corners of his lips very slightly and said: "It's nothing, these are facts."

Liang Qian didn't know where his anger came from. The more calm Duan Xinghe was, the more irritable he felt, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you feel very content with cleaning the table and sweeping the floor every day? Your dream is not to be a physicist." !"

Facing his questioning, Duan Xinghe looked stunned and docile.After an abrupt silence, he said, "Do you know the thermodynamic arrow of time?"

Before Liang Qian could answer, Duan Xinghe was called away by the loud call of the administrative director Zhong Lu. The law firm bought new printing paper, which was too large and heavy, and needed someone to carry it.Duan Xinghe is a diligent and dedicated employee. When Zhong Lu yelled for the first time, he ran away in a hurry, leaving Liang Qian standing there holding a rag, thinking about the second law of thermodynamics [Note].

He understood that Duan Xinghe wanted to say that the past is a foregone conclusion, and time cannot be turned back.
