In the name of love

is:

This seems to be the first time I'm writing to you outside of ThanksGiving.I always think of you when I see beautiful postcards in the store lately, and you are the only person I have contacted in such an elegant way.

Time is really an incredible thing, the time of waiting is so long that it feels like years, and if you don't pay attention, it is so fast that people are caught off guard. A few days ago, Monnica showed me the photo of you attending the regular meeting of lawyers in Honolulu a year ago, and I realized that the boy who was only as tall as my chest had grown into a man who could stand side by side with me.

Oscar is also eight years old this year, and the growth of a child can make people perceive the magic of time the most.He was very excited when he found out that he had an older brother, and he was arguing all day long to fight you.Ah, this kid loves basketball, and I heard recently that he is on the school's friendship team.I didn't tell him you were already past that age.

I almost forgot to mention it, but I will go back to T City in September because of business, it would be great if we could meet up.

YourSincerely,

Sat

Holding the postcard, Yulu stared at the last line, unable to speak in a daze.There is also a photo attached to the postcard. It is a recent photo of Sam. He is holding the hand of a boy. Both the boy and him are wearing jerseys. Yulu knows without guessing that it is his half-brother who has no chance.

As expected of a child raised in the United States, or maybe he inherited Sam's half Mormon blood, Sam's chest height was only eight years old, and that face that looked like Sam made Yuli's chest sore and painful.

He thought that time could dilute everything, only to realize that this is like brewing wine, the more you seal it up, the more fragrant it will become.

Sam in the photo hasn't changed at all.Some people say that after a man is 35 years old, the capital of appearance is considered to be preserved.But Yulu thinks that Sam should not say that he is 35. From the moment they met in the children's rehabilitation center, Sam's appearance has basically not changed, and he is always so handsome and elegant.At most it's just a few gray hairs.

He looked at the photo of a man who should be 47 or eight years old now, with gold-rimmed glasses and flaxen hair with almost no trace of white silk. The date was in June of this year.Yulu suddenly found in a daze that this person was so unbelievably similar to Ji Lan.

It's not the looks, but the charm.The kind of charm that made his heart hurt when he touched his eyes.

It turned out that he had escaped for so long and reincarnated countless times, but in the end he still hanged himself on the same tree.

Yulu was still staring at the postcard in a daze, when he suddenly heard Ji Lan's hesitant voice on the other end of the phone.

"...Senior, thank you." He said.

Yulu was stunned for a moment, "Thank you for what?"

Ji Lan hesitated for a long time, "...what happened that day. I... really lost control that day. I thought Mr. Ye lied to me, so I was very unwilling to do so."

Yulu heard him sigh softly.

"I thought I could ignore it. As Professor Sam said, it is the principle that the defendant lies. The defendant who does not lie is the exception and a miracle. We should never expect the defendant to talk about what he has done. Talk. But I was still affected, if it wasn’t for Senior that day, I’m afraid I would have missed a very important battle for me. So thank you very much, Senior is worthy of being Senior, I’m still too shameless.”

Ji Lan said sincerely.Being praised in such a dignified way, Yulu felt a little shy no matter how thick-skinned he was. He scratched his scalp with his hands and smiled: "It's nothing, probably because I and Ye Chang are somewhat similar."

"A bit like……?"

"Well, it's... people who give up easily, thinking that since you don't believe me and look down on me, then forget it, I'll show you how I degenerate as you wish... People like us are easy to lose I have this kind of thinking. On the contrary, as long as there is a little encouragement, people who will risk their lives like a fool are probably like this kind of person.”

Yulu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Ji Lan, it may be difficult for you to understand! You are the kind of person who will try to prove something to them even if people all over the world look down on you."

Ji Lan on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and Yulu also felt that what he said was a bit too extreme, it already surpassed the content of the conversation between ordinary seniors and juniors, even ordinary friends would not confess their feelings like this.Just as he was about to change his mind and say something lighter, Ji Lan spoke up before him.

"Before... what I said to my senior earlier, about the sexual orientation of my senior, I have one thing to correct."

Yulu smiled, "This is not a court, so there is no need to request corrections, Lawyer Ji."

"Although I said...Although I minded the actions of seniors. But that kind of mind...is not entirely a bad mind. I mean, because the people who did those things are seniors, so my mind is to bring Surprised, because the impression of the senior is too complete in my heart, so that I can't accept it for a while..."

Ji Lan's sentence was somewhat illogical. It was the first time that Yu Lv saw a young lawyer who was fine with braids in court speak so incoherently.

"I mean, I regret what I said to senior before, and it's not entirely true. At least when senior is by my side, I feel very at ease. How to put it, like a reliable brother .”

Yulu was startled when he heard that.Ji Lan seemed embarrassed, paused for a moment before saying:

"Senior always reminds me... of Jize many years ago. I think this is the incredible place of senior. A place with senior always makes people feel like home."

Yulu's throat was slightly choked, and he felt that he should say something at this time, "This is not good, if I make you feel like home, Minnai will be jealous." To smooth things over and make the atmosphere less emotional, then he can still Be a silly uncle and put all your emotions into jokes.

But for some reason, Yulu couldn't say anything this time.

"That won't work."

Yulu spoke, her voice dry.He still smiled habitually, "I will take it seriously, Ji Lan."

Ji Lan obviously didn't understand what he meant, "I'm serious, senior." He paused, and then said, "No matter what the final outcome of this case is, I hope to fight with senior to the end."

It's no longer a joke.

I can't take that feeling as a joke anymore.

in the name of love seventeen

I can't take that feeling as a joke anymore.

"Speaking of which, is senior free recently? I have not been able to fulfill the agreement that I would treat senior to dinner. Which night will senior be free next week? Jize told me about a well-received French restaurant. If senior doesn't Dislike, please let me be the host! I also want to have a good chat with my senior before the first court session."

Ji Lan said with a smile, her voice was rare and relaxed.

"Sorry." Yulu imitated Ji Lan's usual tone of apology, but couldn't hold back the trembling in his throat, "I'm a little tired. I read the volume today, so I have to go to bed first."

He pursed his lower lip and said, "Ricky is still waiting for me in the room."

He felt that Ji Lan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then his tone was a little panicked.

"Ah, I'm sorry, we chatted before I knew it. Senior must be tired, so I won't disturb senior's rest,"

Listening to his tone, Yulu returned to the usual distance between everyone and the telephone pole: "Good night, Senior Yu."

Yulu hung up the phone, threw herself into the soft lambskin sofa, and covered her eyes with her hands.That was his habit since he was a child. Whenever something happened that he couldn't accept, Yuli would always be like this, as if as long as he couldn't see it, things wouldn't go in the direction he didn't want to see.

Sam discovered his habit, and always stood in front of him with a smile, "There is a saying in China that 'cover your ears and steal your bell', Davis, are you covering your eyes to steal something?"

He knew very well what a rare opportunity he had just let go.

The angel who always hides in the altocumulus clouds is finally willing to poke his head out and extend his friendly ET finger to him.But instead of stretching out his finger to meet it, Yulu said to him: "Welcome to the earth." Instead, he turned his back and told him that the earth is dangerous, go back to Mars.

He knew that with Ji Lan's keenness, he must have felt that he had hit an inexplicable soft nail.With the personality of that reserved young master, he would never reach out and touch him a second time.

"It's over... Ah." Yulu sighed softly, and took off the arm that was covering her eyes.

Maybe this is also good, cut off all these before going on the battlefield, the six roots are clean, and then you can focus on the really important things.

In the end, Yulu put the case on Ye Chang because the boss of the firm was an old friend of his when he was a student and knew his sexuality, so he put the case on him as a joke.

Before Yulu met Ye Chang, he also thought that this case was just a bad debt, which is probably the case with sexual assault cases, it's just the difference between pleading guilty and stalking.

Even when he was referred to Ji Lan, Yulu was only in the mood to give it a try. Anyway, the lawyer's guarantee to the client is never worth anything. If you lose the case, you only need to say, "We have tried our best. It is because the judge is too paranoid. This is the sentence." Just like what the surgeon said, "The operation was successful, but the patient died unfortunately." Just remember to pay the lawyer's fee.

But this time it was different, saying that he wanted to help Ye Chang or something, of course he had such a feeling, but it sounded a bit hypocritical.Yulu found that what he longed for was the truth, although he never believed that the court could restore the truth in the past.

Who is right and who is wrong.Who should be punished and who should be punished
