secret galaxy

In early winter, Yuzhou is always windy. A light blue school uniform hung on the balcony was blown upside down, swollen and elegant, like a bird fluttering its wings.

Liang Qian came back from the outside and saw this scene when he passed the living room. He remembered that sweaty night, and stopped with great interest, admiring and reminiscing.

After watching it for a long time, I felt dissatisfied with my desire and itched unbearably, so I turned around and went to the study to look for Duan Xinghe.

The door was ajar, Duan Xinghe was immersed in his studies, Liang Qian approached quietly and patted the back of his head.

Duan Xinghe's body bounced, seeing that it was him, he smiled.

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

"How can I do that?" Liang Qian said with a sore throat, "A hotel is not as comfortable as a home."

Duan Xinghe was careful, he heard that something was wrong with his voice, he dug out a box of watermelon cream lozenges from the drawer: "How about the court session?"

"It's okay. Since there is a retrial, the possibility of changing the sentence is relatively high."

The construction dispute case of Luxin Company was held in the Supreme Court today. Liang Qian went to Shenzhen early in the morning and did not return until [-] pm.The case was complicated, and the evidence alone weighed three catties. After two hours of cross-examination, the opposing lawyer was experienced and difficult to deal with. In the final court debate, the two confronted extremely fiercely.

He talked about the details of the trial, and Duan Xinghe listened carefully, with an imperceptible yearning in his eyes: "Are the judges of the Supreme Court fierce?"

"Not fierce, but everyone is very serious." Liang Qian threw a few pills into his mouth, suddenly remembered an important matter, and his expression changed, "Did you get an objective test today?"

Duan Xinghe let out a "hmm".

He had a calm demeanor, but Liang Qian was extremely nervous: "How is it? Have you checked?"

Duan Xinghe nodded and said, "201 points."

Liang Qian took the exam a few years ago. At that time, the score calculation method was different. Now that the legal exam has been reformed, he couldn't turn the corner for a while, so he tentatively asked, "Have you passed?"

Duan Xinghe said: "Passed, but the score is not high."

"It's fine after it's over, what do you care about so much." Liang Qian sat on the armrest of the chair, held Duan Xinghe's face and kissed him.He was even more excited than Duan Xinghe, the relaxed feeling was like a boulder pressing on his heart, suddenly shattered into powder.

The joy came so violently that the language seemed dull and pale. After a moment of staring at each other, Liang Qian smiled and opened his arms to embrace Duan Xinghe.

In the past, he couldn't feel pain for him, but in the days to come, he can finally share a little bit of happiness after suffering.

After snuggling for a while, Duan Xinghe said: "Today Lawyer Ding's ex-wife came to the office to make a fuss."

Liang Qian was slightly surprised: "What's the trouble?"

"Tell everyone in the firm that Lawyer Nie is Lawyer Ding's concubine, Xiaosan, and his words are ugly, as if he is dissatisfied with the division of common property and wants to get another sum of money."

Liang Qian heard from Nie Han that Ding Puning's divorce case has been finalized. Although the woman cheated and made mistakes first, Ding Puning expressed his understanding in court because of the past friendship. In the end, the wedding room and a car were both Returned to his ex-wife.

In all fairness, this kind of splitting method took care of the interests of the ex-wife, but this woman was still not satisfied, and even made a fuss at the work unit.

Nie Han had an unrequited love for Ding Puning, and she had to hide that liking. A while ago, she had sex after drinking, and Ding Puning proposed to calm down for a while, which already made her heartbroken. Now this kind of thing happened again. Even if colleagues don't say anything, they can't help pointing behind their backs.

"Is there a lot of trouble?" Liang Qian asked, "How did you solve it?"

Duan Xinghe said: "The director happened to be here and called them all into the office. Later, Lawyer Ding's ex-wife left by herself, and her face was not very good."

Liang Yanjie usually takes good care of his employees, presumably Ding Puning's ex-wife can't take advantage of it, Liang Qian is relieved, and asks Duan Xinghe what he wants for dinner, and he will do it.

Liang Qian is learning cooking recently, downloaded a bunch of cooking apps, and bought cooking books, timers, measuring cups, and kitchen scales, just like doing a chemical experiment, trying to be accurate.

He was very interested in taking pictures of cats and tigers, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory. The things he made were good and bad, fluctuating around the baseline of "edible".

Sure enough, when Duan Xinghe heard that he was going to cook, he couldn't help laughing: "Let me go."

"You read." Liang Qian refused to let him get up, and boasted arrogantly: "I will definitely surprise you later."

He made up his mind to make a dish that was 80.00% similar to the reference picture, but he didn't know which link went wrong, and the final product was ugly and unpalatable.At the time of the desperate rescue, Duan Xinghe walked into the kitchen to check the progress, and realized the "surprise" in reverse.

"Forget it," Liang Qian took off his apron and threw it aside, and smiled cheekily, "Let's order takeaway."

Dinner was not peaceful.

A few minutes after sitting down, Duan Xinghe's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was "Mom".He went to the balcony to answer the phone, his voice was neither loud nor soft, and he didn't deliberately avoid anyone.Liang Qian was eating dumplings at the dining table, and sorted out a few key pieces of information based on the few words he heard: first, Duan Xiaoyou was looking for a job recently, second, Sun Juan was very worried and was afraid of a repeat of the tragedy, and wanted to go back to Yuzhou to take care of her daughter, third, Duan Xinghe once promised to take Sun Juan home during the Chinese New Year, but Sun Juan couldn't wait.

Half an hour later, Duan Xinghe ended the call, sat back on the chair opposite Liang Qian, and smiled at him.He hasn't been in a good mood recently, because he stayed up late to study, and the underside of the lying silkworm has a faint blue color. After chatting with Sun Juan, he is obviously more tired.

Liang Qian really felt sorry for him, but couldn't help him.Both Duan Xiaoyou and Sun Juan are relatives of Duan Xinghe, they seem to live together in a thick iron bucket, and have many complicated relationships and cumbersome affairs with each other, and outsiders can't intervene or help.If there is a chance, Liang Qian also wants to drag Duan Xinghe out and drag him into his glass house that can see through the sunlight.

The dumplings became cold and lumpy. Liang Qian put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and asked Duan Xinghe, "Xiaoyou is really looking for a job?"

Duan Xinghe nodded: "A few days ago she called my mother and said she was having an interview."

"It's a good thing, it means that her anxiety is getting better." Liang Qian brought the dumplings to Duan Xinghe and warmed him a bottle of milk.

Duan Xinghe said thank you, absently fiddled with the things on the plate with his chopsticks, and occasionally looked up at Liang Qian, apprehensive and guilty.

Liang Qian took the initiative to speak up: "Your mother wants to come back to live, right?"

Duan Xinghe let out a "hmm".

"I have lived in a nursing home for four years. I must be homesick. Now that I have recovered from my illness, I should go back to Yuzhou." Liang Qian paused for a while and said, "Pick her back."

Duan Xinghe pursed his lips and remained silent, with an annoyed look on his face. In fact, Liang Qian was not very happy. They had only lived together for a month, and the bed was just warm.But no matter how you say it, Sun Juan is Duan Xinghe's mother after all, and it would be unfilial to keep her floating outside.

"It's okay, I'm ready for a protracted battle." Liang Qian saw Duan Xinghe's frown, smiled and kissed him.

When I went to work in the law firm the next day, the atmosphere was really different. When Liang Qian and Duan Xinghe entered the elevator, they ran into a few paralegal assistants discussing the "personal relationship" between Nie Han and Ding Puning. After seeing them, they immediately silenced. Greeted with a smile.

At around nine o'clock, Nie Han walked into the office with her handbag and high heels, her head held high, her makeup more colorful than usual, like a proud peacock.

"It's not bad." Liang Qian teased her.

"You know too? The news spread really fast enough." Nie Han smiled, and went to the conference room with Liang Qian holding the notebook.

A regular partner meeting was to be held in the morning, and the two of them were the latest to join the team, so they consciously chose marginal positions.Before everyone arrived, Liang Qian asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you and Ding Puning?"

Nie Han twirled the pen in his hand, and answered after a while: "I don't know, anyway, it was...that again."

"Are you crazy?" Liang Qian was cursing, Ding Puning also came in, took a look at them, and chose the seat farthest on the diagonal.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhong Lu, the administrative director, was the recorder. Liang Yanjie and several senior partners successively expressed their opinions on the work, development, and party building of the law firm. Liang Qian propped his temples and yawned slightly.I thought it would be another dull day, but unexpectedly when the meeting was drawing to a close, Ding Puning suddenly dropped a bombshell and proposed that he would quit the partnership.

In the silence, Liang Qian turned to look at Nie Han, and found that her eyes were red.

"Are you okay?" At noon, when the three of them went to the restaurant for dinner, Liang Qian and Duan Xinghe looked at Nie Han worriedly.

"It's good." Nie Han shrugged his shoulders and forced a smile, "It's good that he's gone. Such an unclear relationship should have ended earlier."

Ding Puning is Liang Yanjie's apprentice brought out by hand. He has practiced in Xingbang Law Firm for ten years. He usually sided with Liang Yanjie when the partners voted. The litigation business has also affected the power checks and balances among the top executives of the law firm, which is really annoying.Liang Qian had a good impression of him at first, but now he just wanted to beat that guy up.

Duan Xinghe asked Liang Qian softly: "Why did Lawyer Ding quit the partnership?"

When Nie Han heard it, she replied mockingly, "I'm hiding from me." Before she finished speaking, big tears poured into the bowl, making a crackling sound. She couldn't put it on anymore, and cried bitterly , Desperately stomping the floor with high heels.

"My mother said...after 30 no one will like it...it's true..."

"Dingpu Ning is such a fucking bastard...how can I be so stupid..."

After crying for a long time, she finally calmed down. Duan Xinghe handed over a few tissues, and Nie Han took them and wiped them carelessly. The mascara stuck to her eyelids and nose, like a clown.

"You guys eat, I'll go back to the office to sort out the materials, and a client will come over in the afternoon." Nie Han waved goodbye to them, walked two steps and suddenly tilted her body, Liang Qian was startled, thinking she had fainted, but luckily It's just a sprained foot.

With such a comparison, Liang Qian suddenly felt that he and Duan Xinghe were lucky enough, and the slightest difficulty in front of them was nothing at all.He asked: "Your mother called again today?"

Duan Xinghe nodded.

"How did you negotiate?"

"When I finish the subjective test, I will go to Cangshi to help her with the formalities and pick her up."

Liang Qian made a rough calculation and found that there was only half a month left. It was already winter in Yuzhou, and the weather would get colder and colder. He could only move back to his parents' house and sleep alone in the cold bedroom.

"In this case," he whispered into Duan Xinghe's ear, "we have to hurry up."

Duan Xinghe looked at the case analysis on his mobile phone, his reaction was a bit slow, and he asked suspiciously: "What are you doing now?"

Liang Qian smiled mysteriously, and said to himself, you will know in the evening.
