After Bai Yueguang's stand-in is passive and slow to work

The working hours of American law firms are similar to those in China. The house Shen Heng rents is not far from the law firm, only a 10-minute bus ride away.He usually gets up in the morning and packs up, then goes to the 24-hour restaurant downstairs to have something to eat, and then waits for the bus.

Yesterday was the last day of the holiday, Jiang Zhiyu happily brought two boxes of games to play with Shen Heng, and made sure that there was no horror element at all.Shen Heng was not interested, Jiang Zhiyu half squatted in front of the TV cabinet to install the equipment, and when he turned around after the familiar debugging was completed, Shen Heng had already gone back to the bedroom to sleep.

The corners of Jiang Zhiyu's lost eyes drooped, and his eyes fell on the closed bedroom door, like a dejected dog thrown in the rain.

Later, Shen Heng woke up in the middle and went out to drink water, and saw that everything in the living room had been tidied up and placed neatly on the table. Jiang Zhiyu had already gone back, and he left a note on the table, saying that it was dinner He bought it and put it in the refrigerator so that Shen Heng would remember to eat it when he woke up.

On the first day back to work, Shen Heng felt dizzy and unconscious after taking a shower. He went downstairs to buy a cup of coffee, but at the entrance of the restaurant, he bumped into Jiang Zhiyu who had just packed his breakfast and was about to go out.

"So early?" Jiang Zhiyu seemed surprised to see Shen Heng appearing here.

Shen Heng nodded, and immediately turned sideways to go in without pausing.

"I bought you breakfast. Since you have already come down, you can eat here directly." Jiang Zhiyu didn't intend to stop him, but just entered the restaurant with him carrying the bag.

Shen Heng stopped, looked back at him, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Thank you, how much is it?"

Jiang Zhiyu was very surprised: "No money."

Shen Heng shook his head: "The few meals you bought for me recently, plus the one this morning, you calculate the price, and I'll give you the money, and don't do similar things in the future."

Jiang Zhiyu didn't answer him directly, but found a table, sat down with Shen Heng, and then took out the food while whispering: "We used to be together, and you cooked three meals a day, then Sometimes I still think it's only natural for you to do this, and I even despise you."

Shen Heng froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him, with deep surprise in his eyes.

"Now I know I was wrong, and I want to have a chance to make amends." Jiang Zhiyu said softly, and handed the spoon to him: "The only meals I can cook are those few, I'm afraid you will get tired of it, so Only come to the restaurant to buy."

"This is what I owe you and what I should do, so you don't have to feel burdened. I like you and love you. If you can accept a little favor from me, that is the greatest reward for me."

In his impression, Jiang Zhiyu had never said such a humble thing, even if he came to him to admit his mistake at the beginning, it was like a high-ranking charity.And now that he has become like this, Shen Heng has mixed feelings in his heart, and he can't tell what it feels like.

He didn't speak any more, lowered his eyes and bit a piece of rice cake.

Jiang Zhiyu could guess that he had this kind of reaction, so even if his expectations fell through, he could continue to eat in a good mood.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Heng hurried towards the bus stop. He was delayed a little while eating, and now it's almost time for the bus to arrive at the stop.

He walked that way, and Jiang Zhiyu followed closely behind.

Fortunately, the bus usually waits for a minute or two when it arrives at this station. Shen Heng gets on the bus first and finds a seat to sit down, and then sees Jiang Zhiyu and the bus driver staring at each other in front of them.

This place is no different than in China. Jiang Zhiyu didn't bring any cash when he came here, and the only money he had was the large banknotes he exchanged at the bank two days ago.He didn't have a monthly pass like Shen Heng, so when he took out the 100 dollar denomination, the driver was dumbfounded and stopped him.

Jiang Zhiyu explained to him that he didn't have any change, and the driver was also stubborn. He refused to let him put in large bills, saying that he couldn't find it, which violated the regulations, and at the same time he didn't let him get in the car.

The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while, until the bus was about to leave, and the driver was about to drive Jiang Zhiyu off the bus. Someone walked over quickly, and two dollars were stuffed into the coin slot next to him.

"I paid for him, can we let him get in the car now?" Shen Heng looked at the driver calmly.

The driver's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them for a few seconds, and then he said heartily, "Of course!"

Jiang Zhiyu recovered from his astonishment, and when he looked at Shen Heng, his eyes were already full of emotion.

If it wasn't for his good manners outside, he would have quarreled with this unreasonable driver.

Jiang Zhiyu sat down next to Shen Heng very naturally, and said with a smile, "Thank you baby."

"What are you doing by bus?" Shen Heng looked down at his phone and asked.

Jiang Zhiyu replied confidently with a smile, "I'll take you to work."

Shen Heng: "..."

It was the first time I saw the person who had to be sent off to work to help pay the fare.

"What time will you be back at night? I'll pick you up." Jiang Zhiyu continued to ask.

"I'll go home with my colleagues at night." Shen Heng refused casually.

Jiang Zhiyu frowned in disappointment.

He came to the United States this time mainly because Shen Heng is here, but at least he used the guise of giving Jiang Zhici an inspection of the branch's risk control and site selection, so he took a few days off after Christmas for Shen Heng. After starting to go back to work, he will also start to go out to investigate.

The two lived in peace for several months.

In July, Shen Heng received a call from Qin Shuyi, which was a notice that his case would be held soon after the case was accepted.

"Are you busy abroad? If not, I suggest you come back to China in person. After all, you are not in China, and some procedures are still inconvenient." Qin Shuyi seriously suggested on the other end of the phone.

It's summer recently, people tend to fall asleep in the afternoon, Shen Heng sat on the sofa bed in the lounge, thinking for a while.

In fact, he has been thinking about this matter for a long time. The study here will end in half a year. The recent work and study are not too stressful, and he also misses his friends in China very much, and wants to go back and have a look.

In addition, Su Yuehua called him frequently recently. Although he didn't say anything, he just told him to pay attention to his body, but he knew it was a sign that she missed herself.

The law firm didn't have a holiday this year, and he didn't have time to go back. He didn't even spend the Spring Festival with her.

"Well, then I'll make some preparations recently, a few days in advance...then go back next week. You have worked hard for so long, Qin Lu." Shen Heng said lightly: "I will thank you very much when I return to China."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Heng lay down on the sofa bed for a while.

There was air-conditioning in the room, and he was covered with a yellow blanket. He closed his eyes and lay down for a while. Thinking of going back to China, he couldn't fall asleep anyway. He simply got up and took the tablet, and began to fill in the leave note in a happy mood. .

When returning home from get off work at night, Jiang Zhiyu seemed to be waiting for his movement at the door. As soon as Shen Heng walked to the door and took out the key, he opened the door and followed.

Jiang Zhiyu hasn't been here much in the past week, leaving early and returning late, it seems that he is very busy.

The two have been neighbors for so long, Shen Heng stopped blocking him at the door and asked him why he came in.Jiang Zhiyu carried a large box of things in his hand, and put it on the table when he entered the door: "The instant noodles I bought for you, as well as rice and fruit, are enough for you for half a month. Don't eat instant noodles all the time."

Shen Heng didn't know what he was going to do out of nowhere, Jiang Zhiyu had already taken out all the things by category: "I'm going back to China for two weeks, it's been too long this time, the company has piled up a lot of things that I need to deal with , My brother's company has also signed the contract, and the family is pressing, so I have to go back."

"So I bought you half a month's supply, and if you don't have enough, you can buy it yourself. You are so thin now, you can't continue to lose weight."

"I'll come back as soon as the affairs in China are over. You have to take good care of yourself here alone, do you hear me?" Jiang Zhiyu walked up to Shen Heng, exhorting him in a gentle tone.

Shen Heng was still in a state of surprise that Jiang Zhiyu was about to return to China, so he only nodded when he heard the words.

The corners of Jiang Zhiyu's mouth curled up in satisfaction, he lowered his head and looked at Shen Heng, and said softly with a smile: "That's great, I was afraid that you would happily say to me: You're finally gone, don't come back again .”

"When are you going back to China?" Shen Heng asked coldly.

"The plane is tonight, so I have to leave soon." Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly: "Actually, I don't want to go back, and I don't want to be separated from you for a day."

Shen Heng ignored him.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't stay at Shen Heng's house for a long time and left. This place is a little far from the airport. He said a few words with Shen Heng, and it was almost time for him.

Shen Heng sat on the bedside after taking a shower at night, and continued to write his leave email on the computer. Because it was too late, he set a timed email for tomorrow morning, and then turned off the computer to prepare for sleep.

Before going to sleep, I received a WeChat message from Jiang Zhiyu: "I've arrived at the airport, you should have a good rest, good night."

Shen Heng glanced at it, then turned off the phone.

...

A week later, Shen Heng carried his luggage and boarded the plane back home.

He didn't tell Su Yuehua that he was going back, and this time he took ten days off, planning to go home and stay for a few days after the lawsuit was over, as a surprise for her.

He Yue knew about this, and had chatted with him very excitedly since the past two days, planning where they would go to have fun after Shen Heng returned to China.

At the same time, he also sighed with tears in his eyes how boring his life was without Shen Heng. After taking over the case alone, he was so busy that his life was so dark. He also recalled to him the past when they were both in China. how happy you are.

Shen Heng was infected by his excitement, and also echoed here, planning with He Yue what to do after returning to China.

Originally, He Yue was going to pick up the plane, but Shen Heng's arrival time was after four in the morning in China. Shen Heng didn't let him pick up the plane. He planned to go back and take a taxi to find a nearby hotel to rest for a day before going to the law firm. He Yue and Qin Shuyi were the ones they were looking for.

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, although the business seat slept comfortably, Shen Heng still felt exhausted.

Just after leaving the airport, at four o'clock in the morning, even in the capital city in July, the air is still cool.Shen Heng didn't eat much on the way, he sat in the lobby for a while, the airport here should have been renovated, he was still a little unfamiliar.

Shen Heng took out his mobile phone, first reported He Yue's safety, then stood up with his suitcase and wandered around twice, planning to find a restaurant for a meal before taking a taxi to the hotel.

He was not in a hurry, he walked around for a while to relax his body, and finally found a noodle restaurant, went in and ordered wonton noodles.The restaurant at the airport tasted just like that. He ate every mouthful slowly, and the caller ID on his phone called "Jiang Zhiyu".
