In the name of love

warm smile.

Ji Lan nodded solemnly, "Yes, I will. Thank you, Mr. Huai."

"I will also attend the court hearing. If there is anything that can help Ah Chang, please tell me."

Huai Yu fumbled in his arms again, "By the way, this is my business card. If you can't find me, you can call the number above. I'd be happy even if it's just to have dinner." He smiled at Ji Lan.

Wait, did someone just say that he hasn't used business cards for a long time?

***

When Yulu drove Ji Lan home, the night was already deep, and the car was full of traffic rushing home.The lights and feasting of the city flow by the window, especially tempting people to linger and forget to return.

"Sorry, I didn't expect the interview to be so late." Ji Lan sat on the assistant's seat with a sincere tone, "I'd like to trouble you, senior, to drive me home. It seems that the matter of inviting senior to dinner can only be postponed to the next time."

Yulu glanced at him, turned on the direction lights and said with a smile: "It's not too late, for some people, now is the beginning of the day. How about it, do you want to have a drink? I know Nice Lonuge, just around here.”

Ji Lan rubbed her eyebrows with her hands.

"No, Mingnai is still waiting for me at home. She won't go to bed until I go home. I don't want her to worry. Besides, I have an investigative court to open early tomorrow morning."

"Don't you want to go to my house?" Yulu smiled: "Last time I asked me to bother you on your wedding night, and I haven't paid back the favor! Anyway, before going to your house, I will pass by my house first, and it is also on the way. Let's have a drink , Let’s chat about the case, I won’t let you stay too late. Or do you not have the heart to let your wife stay alone?”

"Well, that's fine." Ji Lan said, "Just go to the senior's house and disturb me. I don't want Ming Nai to see that I'm too tired."

Eh?Yulu froze for a moment, although Ji Lan's words came to his ears, but his brain circuit was still not able to distinguish the meaning.Originally, he invited Ji Lan to his house just casually, but he expected that Ji Lan would refuse, and just wanted to watch his troubled expression.

"Uh, you, you mean, little Ji Lan, do you mean to... come to my house?" Yu Lv was so frightened that he even stuttered.

"Huh? Senior invited me, didn't I... Ah, senior, be careful!"

Ji Lan yelled, and Yulu realized that he was so shocked that he didn't even pay attention to the red light ahead, and almost ran into a big truck head-on, so he slammed on the brakes.

"Yes, yes, I invited you to go." Yulu blinked and looked at Ji Lan's softer side face against the night light, "Ha, haha, ahaha, that's right, I'm talking what."

Yulu was smiling on the surface, but his heart was already in chaos like a salt water beehive.

Ji Lan is coming to his house.

Ji Lan is going to step into his uncle's house.

Ji Lan, the handsome male god in his mind, actually wants to take the initiative to walk into his den, which only teenagers with friends with benefits, former friends with benefits, or teenagers who are about to become friends with benefits have always stepped into!

Yulu couldn't concentrate on driving anymore, his mind was buzzing, he even forgot to turn on the turn signal when he was going to turn right at the entrance of the alley, and the noise of him yelling behind him seemed to be far away.

He could only hear the beating of his own heart, which became deafening as he got closer to the door.Ever since he ran away from Sam, Yuli forgot how long his heart hadn't reacted like this.

"Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time for me to visit a senior's house." Ji Lan looked at the passing scenery by the car window, and said something that made Yulu's heart throb, "Do you live with your family, senior?"

Yulu couldn't react for a while, but when Ji Lan asked for the second time, Yulu came back to his senses, "Huh? Family? What kind of family? Oh, no, no, I don't have a family. I, I mean, I am alone People live."

Ji Lan gave the flustered uncle a strange look, and couldn't help chuckling.

"Senior, sometimes, it's really confusing." He said.

Yulu watched Ji Lan lie back on the back of the chair, covering her eyes with her slender hand, as if falling asleep.It feels like the heart has finally recovered a little bit, and the brain is a little clearer.

In fact, Yulu has somewhat noticed that Ji Lan's behavior has been a little different from the usual one since Huai Yu said those words to Ji Lan.

Ordinary Ji Lan is always quiet and flat, like sea water with no wind or waves.Just like what Yulu saw behind the court, the man who was not surprised by favor or humiliation.

But Huaiyu's words made Yulu see a different Ji Lan for the first time.It was like dropping an oversized stone suddenly in a calm sea. Although it was still a drop in the bucket overall, it did stir up something.

Is it really related to that kidnapping case...?Yulu couldn't help but think so.To be honest, he still doesn't know what happened to Ji Lan in that kidnapping case. This kind of thing always happens. Yulu only heard from other people how pitiful and miserable Ji Lan was back then.

Especially Ji Lan's eldest brother, Ji Ze, the eldest son of the Ji family.To be honest, Yulu thinks that he and Ji Lan are really at the opposite ends of the spectrum. If Ji Lan's temperament is as thin as a needle, Ji Ze is a submarine cable.Every time Jize mentioned this matter to others, he burst into tears, as if the person who was kidnapped was himself and not his brother.

But Yulu has always been very bored. If it is true that Ji Lan suffered such excessive sexual abuse as a child as described by Ji Ze, Ji Lan should now have a deep hatred for the rapist.It doesn't make sense to turn around and become a lawyer specializing in the defense of sexual assault offenders.

Could it be Stockholm Syndrome...?But Yulu couldn't see that Ji Lan missed the kidnapper at all.Rather than saying that it was a painful memory that he didn't want to think about, Yulu felt that Ji Lan seemed to have forgotten that person at all, and his name and appearance were no longer remembered.

But there was indeed "something", the kidnapping case.

Yulu didn't know if it should be called a shadow, but something still remained in Ji Lan's heart, which further affected this sensitive and slender man, making him willing to become a martyr.

Yulu thought all the way, until the car drove into the basement of her apartment, Yulu parked the car, and softly called Ji Lan to wake up, Yulu's mind was still running.

Yulu found himself nervous again, realizing that Ji Lan was following him, and their goal was his uncle's private boudoir, Yulu almost fell due to muscle stiffness.

Looking back at Ji Lan, he found that his expression was normal, he was just a good young man who came to his colleague's house for a drink after get off work.

"It turns out that Senior Yu lives in this area, it feels like a very nice apartment." Ji Lan also praised politely.

But Yulu could no longer suppress his delusions. Holding the house key in his hand, he walked towards the elevator leading to the ninth floor, while Ji Lan watched with slightly curious eyes.This pattern is exactly the same as when Yulu picked up a one-night stand from a gay bar and brought it home to enjoy.

As the elevator climbed up, Yulu felt that the uncle's fluid in his veins was also flowing down.

What should be the first sentence when you enter the door?The house is messy, I'm sorry, it's like this when a man lives alone.Well, that's what straight men tell women.

What about again?He should ask Ji Lan to sit down on his small sheepskin sofa and bring him slippers.Most likely, Ji Lan would politely say "I'm sorry to trouble you", at this time he should take out the strongest wine from the wine cabinet as if nothing had happened, just choose the vodka that Wilson's client gave him last time, and take two glasses , Pour a glass for Ji Lan, and a glass for yourself.

Come and wish our case success!toast.He can say this, and then drain the wine in the glass in front of Ji Lan. In this way, with Ji Lan's personality, he must be ashamed to let his respected senior drink alone. Done.

Come on, let's have another drink.

No, senior, I'm not very good at drinking...

Xiao Jilan, you can't do this, a lawyer who can't drink can't survive in the industry for too long.Come, come, just another cup, another cup.

Well, senior, I really can only have one more cup, Ming Nai is still waiting for me at home...

When Ji Lan's yellow soup was eaten, Yulu predicted that he would collapse on the lambskin sofa.Just like the last time at Ji Lan's house, her cheeks were flushed, her breath was like silk, and she muttered: "Water...", and the high-end shirt would be torn off due to the heat, revealing Ji Lan's white and elegant face that has been as white as a day for ten years. Suogulai.

Senior, I want to drink water...

Well, the water came and the mouth opened.

Senior, this water is too hot, this is not water, um... Senior, don't...

"That's water, it just passed through my mouth first..." Yulu murmured.

"senior?"

Ji Lan gave him a strange look.Only then did Yulu realize that he had unconsciously spoken out the content of his delusions, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to cut the cable and let the elevator fall down.

After the kiss, with Ji Lan's temperament, she would definitely resist him at first.He would twist his body and push his chest with his hands, and he would persevere in making up the second kiss and the third kiss... Yuli is quite confident in his kissing skills, and when the time comes Ji Lan's inexperience, coupled with the catalysis of alcohol, can definitely be settled within an hour, immersing himself in his wonderful bed skills of Barrister Yu.

Come on, Ji Lan, it's too small here, let's go to bed.

No, senior, wait a minute, Ming Nai is still waiting for me at home...

Yulu found that he was about to lose his footing, and his body temperature was astonishingly high, especially concentrated in the lower abdomen.

Ji Lan will definitely be shocked when she wakes up the next day, Yulu continues to think, will he tell herself to have forced sex?No, getting drunk first and then raped, should this be considered a crime of sexual intercourse?
