frenzied

Dawn dawned in the sky, and Lin Xi finally fell into a deep sleep. He was also uneasy in his dream, and when he woke up, he had a splitting headache.He massaged his temples with one hand, and propped himself up on the bed with the other to sit up slowly.

The sunlight outside the window had shone on the floor through the white gauze curtain, and there was still more than an hour before the appointed time.

"Xiao Ran, what are you doing here?" After preparing to go out, Lin Xi saw Xiao Ran sitting on the steps alone when he went downstairs.

"Uncle Lin, do you want to go out?" After getting along for this period of time, Xiao Ran was no longer as shy of strangers as he was at the beginning. At this moment, he held his chin, and his watery eyes showed a bit of loneliness.Last night, his mother told him that Lin Xi was going to take a day off. He thought that someone would finally be able to play with him, but he got up early and waited. As soon as Lin Xi showed up, he was carrying a bag, as if he was going out.

"Yes." Lin Xi knelt down and rubbed his little head, "Would you like to go out with uncle?"

This time he was dating An Mo, an old friend, and it didn't matter if he had an extra child.Because Xiao Qing was busy with work, Xiao Ran always stayed at home alone, and he didn't even have a playmate. He could help as much as he could.

"Okay, okay!" After nodding his head three times in a row, Xiao Ran's downcast was replaced by cheers, and he finally looked like an ordinary little boy.But after a while, he took Lin Xi's hand, still a little uncertain, "Uncle Lin, can I really go out together?"

"It's fine if you don't want to." Lin Xi wanted to tease him, so he deliberately put on a straight face and shook his hand away.

"Yes, I am willing, of course I am willing." Hearing this, the child became anxious, and rushed over to grab Lin Xi's clothes.

"Okay, to scare you, how can a man cry?" Looking back, seeing Xiao Ran looking like he was about to cry, Lin Xi pinched his face, then picked him up, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately blinked his round eyes to show that he didn't shed any tears.Lin Xi was amused by his childish behavior, and the haze in his heart finally dissipated.

One hour earlier to avoid the rush hour, when Lin Xi brought Xiao Ran downstairs to the office, it was still early for the agreed time.

A majestic high-rise building towered in front of them. This building located in the center of the city was majestic and imposing. Its appearance was simple dark green. Its shape was luxurious and rigorous yet magnificent. When looking up at the high-rise buildings, you could even see the reflected clouds, which made people feel insignificant. .

Through the revolving glass door, people in suits and leather shoes come in from time to time, hurrying.

The law office is located on the 69th floor, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily enter.

"Xiao Ran, let's wait in the coffee shop over there." Lin Xi tugged at the stunned child.

"En." Xiao Ran responded, but still turned around every three steps, unable to hide his novel gaze.

The two were dressed plainly, but they were also clean and tidy, and did not attract the attention of others.

"Please give me a cup of black coffee and a cup of green tea." Because it is aimed at elite consumers, the coffee shop is very beautifully decorated, and melodious piano music echoes as soon as you enter the door. Lin Xi glanced at the menu hastily, and chose the one by the window. prominent position.

It would be easier for An Mo to find him.

Time passed by slowly, and the number of people pushing the door to the coffee shop gradually increased, stirring the thick black liquid in the porcelain cups, Lin Xi gradually felt a little anxious, and raised his arms from time to time to check the time.

"Aren't Uncle Lin's friends coming?" The straw made a "goo", Xiao Ran raised his head, he tried to drink as slowly as possible, but after finishing a big bottle of green tea, Uncle Lin's friend still didn't show up.

"He will definitely come." Although anxious, Lin Xi still smiled and rubbed his head, "Wait a little longer, okay?"

Xiao Ran, who was biting the straw, nodded obediently.

"Ding——" The wind chime on the glass door made a clear sound when the guest pushed in. Lin Xi looked over habitually, and found a gentle young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, then turned his gaze back, a little disappointed.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin?" Unexpectedly, the gentle young man walked up to their table and asked politely.

"I am." Responding, Lin Xi responded immediately.

"Lawyer An has a client visiting in the morning, and it's not convenient to come down. Let me take you to the firm."

It turned out that a client was busy, Lin Xi let go of his hanging heart, stood up quickly and said, "Thank you then."

As soon as you enter the office, you can see the entire work hall through the transparent bright glass. All kinds of people in suits and leather shoes shuttle through it. The sound of paper pages turning and the sound of telephone calls are mixed together. It is extremely busy but orderly.

"Mr. Lin, this way please." The young man led the way, and after passing through the work area, he stretched out his hand and opened the door. "Mr. Lin, please wait in the lounge for a while. Lawyer An will come over soon."

"Okay, thank you."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps, and the young man beside him greeted him politely, "Mr. Jin, good morning."

In order not to appear rude, Lin Xi turned around following the young man's gaze, just in time to see a group of people walking towards them. The leader was a young man with his head slightly lowered, as if he was listening to the report of the secretary next to him. Individuals follow.

Lin Xi was about to pull Xiao Ran to stand aside, when he bent down, a coin suddenly fell out of his pocket, rolled on the carpet, neither crooked nor slanted, and landed right in the middle of the aisle.

This movement attracted a group of people to look sideways, and the young man also raised his head to look this way, just in time to meet Lin Xi's flustered eyes.The moment Lin Xi saw the man's face clearly, Lin Xi's mind went blank, the sudden dizziness made him unable to distinguish between reality and dream, and his palms were sweaty.

A British-style suit perfectly showed a slender and tall figure, shedding the frailty of a teenager, resolute, elegant and personable.After years of baptism, the proud face has been carved more and more handsome, sharp and sharp, making it difficult for people to take their eyes off.

The only thing that remains the same is that pair of beautiful eyes, looking forward and flying, making people addicted to it as always.

Five years, more than 1000 days and nights, too many things have changed.

The distant past is already like a memory from a previous life.

He had already planned to bury everything until he took it to the coffin.At this moment, it seemed that a deeply hidden secret was exposed to the public, and the fear of having nowhere to hide made even the fingertips tremble uncontrollably.

"Teacher?" At the same time, the man who saw him had a frightening light in his eyes, and strode towards him.

The footsteps gradually approached, and Lin Xi wanted to run away, but all her strength had disappeared from the very beginning.He has long been used to staying in the same place quietly when the boy is watching him approaching him, even after five years, he is still the same.

"This is the teacher's child?" After getting quite close, he finally noticed the child in Lin Xi's hand. Jin Luo's eyes turned sharp in an instant, but his voice was as deep and melodious as usual, with a metallic texture.

"..." Lin Xi opened his mouth, his voice was so low that even he couldn't hear clearly.

"Little friend, how old are you?" Seeing Lin Xi's face turned pale, Jin Luo turned and bent down to ask the child beside him.

It was the first time for Xiao Ran to meet such a good-looking person, seeing him smiling at him, and Lin Xi beside him had no intention of objecting, so he mustered up his courage and replied: "Mom said I am four years old this year."

"So the teacher is married." The long and narrow eyebrows raised slightly, Jin Luo smiled coldly, his black eyes were bottomless.

The ups and downs of these years rushed into my heart, and when it reached my mouth, there was only bitterness left.Lin Xi clenched his hands, restrained himself as much as possible, kept his breathing steady, and said after a while, "Yes, I'm doing well now."

"Since Lawyer An is still busy, let's come back next time." Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Lin Xi hugged Xiao Ran as soon as he finished speaking, ignoring the several people standing beside him, and hurried, almost at a loss escape.

The lover whom he had not seen for many years just disappeared in front of his eyes, as if he was afraid of catching a deadly virus, Jin Luo's expression remained unchanged, but the intensity in his eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow.

"Lin Xi!"

Hearing the cry, Lin Xi seemed to be pricked by a needle, instead of stopping, he walked even faster.

"Lin Xi, stop!" The angry voice was close to his ears, and at the same time his shoulders were pulled.Lin Xi reflexively wanted to struggle, but when he turned around, he found that it was his friend An Mo whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"What are you running for? Are you going to disappear without a word, and disappear for another five years?" An Mo hurried to the lounge after dealing with the customers who came in early in the morning. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he saw Lin Xi running out. furious.He was in a hurry to get angry, and the other party was going to disappear before seeing him.

"You made a little doll so quickly?" But when he saw Lin Xi holding the baby in his arms, his attention was immediately diverted.

"..." I met two people today, and both of them misunderstood.Lin Xi tugged An Mo's arm, who was getting stronger and stronger, "Let go first, this is a neighbor's child, I'll just watch it for you."

An Mo strangled Lin Xi's neck with one hand, pinched Xiao Ran's cheek with the other, and said calmly, "You should run away again."

"..."

It was already two hours after I came out of the cafe.The only trait that An Mo has maintained over the past five years is chatter. Except for Lin Xi nodding, shaking his head, and occasionally answering a few words, he is the only one who slapped the table and talked loudly with righteous indignation.

But Lin Xi was not dissatisfied at all, this way of getting along was exactly the same as before.

Anyone who is with An Mo will be extraordinarily quiet.It's no wonder that he can become an excellent lawyer, being able to speak well is a necessary skill for a lawyer.

I don't know what that person will look like in court?

Realizing that he thought of something he shouldn't, Lin Xi shook his head, trying to get rid of those messy things.

"Lin Xi."

"What's wrong?" Sensing that An Mo's tone had changed slightly, Lin Xi asked in confusion.

"Do you know our boss? When you ran out, your face was ugly."

"How could I know such a person?" Pretending to be nonchalant and laughing, Lin Xi patted An Mo's shoulder, "It's too stuffy inside, I just came out to get some air, okay, go back to work, or your boss should Your salary will be deducted."

Knowing Lin Xi's stubbornness too well, An Mo didn't go any further, "Remember to owe me a meal and cash it on the weekend."

"Got it." With a wave of his hand, Lin Xi led Xiao Ran to the opposite direction of the building, step by step, until he walked out of the shadow of the towering building, and behind them, a black car followed quietly...
