The summer sun is just right

To be precise, since his debut, Sheng Xia has no personal affairs to manage.

Except for some gossips by the media, Chen Jiyuan basically didn't need to worry about it.

But the recent midsummer was really abnormal. Chen Jiyuan thought maybe it was because his father passed away, leaving his mother alone, and he needed to go back to see his mother often?

Although based on his understanding, it seems that the relationship between Sheng Xia and his mother is not close, it should even be said that there is a gap.

Chen Jiyuan still called Sheng Xia, and naturally he didn't get anything special from Sheng Xia's mouth.

I had no choice but to tell Sheng Xia to be more careful when driving, and to visit Sheng Pingting when I had time, so that he could feel at ease while filming.

Although God C returned to the cold-faced God C overnight, he would occasionally contact each other.

Sheng Xia finished filming the scene in Ningxia, and sent a WeChat message to God C. God C replied "OK".

After going to City J, Sheng Xia also told God C, and God C also replied "OK".

One night, Sheng Xia stood under the tree again, raised his neck, and looked up at the window.

He received a WeChat message from God C.

"What are you doing?"

Such a rare tone and content that seemed to be chatting.

"Looking at the lights."

"Where is the light?"

"Under a tree."

"Go back early."

"I don't want to go back."

"go back."

go back?This tone?

If other people talk like this, Sheng Xia will definitely think who is this person, who are you?

But when God C said that, he wanted to curl his lips, feeling sore and warm in his heart, as if he was talking to that person through this person.

"Wait until the lights go out."

Eh?As soon as Shengxia sent out the WeChat message, the lights on the third floor were turned off.

Sheng Xia can't wait to slap herself, what to say, what to say.

The other end didn't urge him to go back, but just said, "Be careful when driving."

Sheng Xia thought to himself, why is God C so amazing? In the book, you arranged the characters clearly, but outside of the book, you can see everything?Well, why don't people call you "God"?

"Got it." Sheng Xia just sent it, and seemed to remember something again.So I added another sentence.

"It can be done."

Sheng Xia finished the phone call with Sheng Pingting, and she was nestled on the sofa with her shoulders drooping slightly, her eyes squinted, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Court on the 15th.There are 3 more days.

Closed hearing.Why did Ling Xiao apply for a closed trial?

Sheng Pingting said, because it involves commercial secrets.

Sheng Pingting also said that even if Ling Xiao did not apply, she would apply for a private hearing.

Sheng Xia always felt that the reason was not as simple as involving commercial secrets, but he couldn't say it, it was just a vague feeling.

Since the phone call with Sheng Pingting, Sheng Xia has suffered from insomnia all night.

In fact, Sheng Xia knew from the very beginning that he and Ling Xiao would not be able to escape the court one day after all.

But when that day really came, when there was a day that he couldn't escape, Sheng Xia still felt the pain of being pulled from his body.

Right now, it's just a simulation of the meeting scene in my mind, Sheng Xia couldn't help but feel chills all over her body.

When that day comes, the courts will fight against each other, and I don't know to what extent I will be disappointed.

On the day of the court session, there happened to be no midsummer scene, so it would save midsummer to ask for leave, and another problem would arise.

The night before, Sheng Xia finished all the scenes and drove back to S City overnight.Still did not let Xiao Zhu follow.

In fact, Sheng Xia's mental state is very poor, and her dark circles are also heavy.The makeup time has been longer than usual these days, and the makeup artist has to work hard to cover the fatigue on his bloodless face.

He hasn't slept well in the past few nights, and during the day he shoots martial arts, Sheng Xia's eyes are full of bloodshot eyes.

Sheng Xia parked the car downstairs at Ling Xiao's house, and walked slowly towards the tree.

Now he is very tired, he can only lean his back against the tree, so that his body can support himself with a little strength.

It's past twelve o'clock in the morning, and the lights in Ling Xiao's house are still on.

Is he upset about tomorrow's trial?

In less than nine hours, we will meet again.

Tomorrow we'll be sitting on opposite sides of the courtroom...

tomorrow……

Sheng Xia's shoulders trembled, he bit his clenched fist, trying to swallow the sobs, but tears still crawled all over his cheeks.

As if unable to hold on, he squatted down, curled up, and hugged himself tightly.

Upstairs, Ling Xiao was sitting at the dining table, with his right hand covering the keyboard, and his left hand clenched into a fist. Because of too much force, his nails dug into his flesh.

The next morning, nine o'clock.

Ling Xiao and his lawyers sat in the plaintiff's seat first.

Sheng Xia didn't come with Sheng Pingting, Sheng Pingting arrived first.Midsummer arrived just as the court was about to start.

When he came in, he saw the lawyer whispering in Ling Xiao's ear, and Ling Xiao nodded occasionally.

Ling Xiao faced him sideways, and he couldn't see his expression and demeanor.Although he has been mentally preparing himself, when Ling Xiao's face came into view again, Sheng Xia's heart still skipped a beat and his breath was choked.

Sheng Pingting gave him a hard look.

He walked to Sheng Pingting and sat down.Seeing the word "defendant", Sheng Xia frowned, thinking that the word "defendant" was so eye-catching.

Sheng Xia didn't dare to stare at Ling Xiao all the time, and kept looking in Ling Xiao's direction from the corner of his eyes.

But Ling Xiao didn't seem to see him, since he entered the door until now, Ling Xiao hasn't looked up in the direction of the defendant.Of course, I haven't seen Sheng Pingting either.

Yes, why would Ling Xiao want to see Sheng Pingting and him?Maybe if you see it by accident, you have to wash your eyes when you go back.

However, even so, Sheng Xia still wanted to see Ling Xiao very much.

Except this is the case today.

The presiding judge sat down.

Sheng Xia looked up at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao also looked at him.

14. The scene of the trial

"All rise."

Sheng Xia and Ling Xiao both stood up.

Shengxia is now in the defendant's seat, and Ling Xiao is standing opposite him, in the plaintiff's seat.

Sheng Xia held her breath, her hands were hanging by her sides, she unconsciously bent her fingers, her thumb kept rubbing against her index finger, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

He looked at Ling Xiao who was standing opposite him, as if he was looking at a dummy, which seemed to come out of his own mind, not a real one.

For a moment, he really wanted to rush over and hug Ling Xiao tightly.Just like when he used to stand under the tree downstairs in Ling Xiao's house, he wanted to rush upstairs countless times, hug, touch, and smell Ling Xiao, so as to confirm whether this person was real.

He was afraid that he missed him too much, and his brain gave him false fantasies.After all, in the past 6 years, he has often seen Ling Xiao.

In fact, Sheng Xia knew that Ling Xiao had really come back. He lived on the third floor of that building, and Ling Xiao himself was standing opposite him now.

He just doesn't want to see himself, and he doesn't want to talk to himself.

Just like Ling Xiao who would appear in midsummer hallucinations and dreams, he didn't say a word to him or look at him.

The moment he looked at Ling Xiao, there was grievance in his eyes, and his lips unconsciously pursed into a line.

Ling Xiao's eyes only stayed on him briefly for a second, or maybe it should be said that he just glanced over him unintentionally.Those eyes moved away when they touched Sheng Xia.

But Sheng Xia was still very happy to meet his eyes, even if it was only for a second, even if he didn't take the initiative to look at him.

Still those frozen eyes, still without any emotion.

There is no hatred, no disgust, and no dodge that midsummer expects.

Every time Shengxia sees Ling Xiao, her heart sinks.But why hasn't it sunk to the bottom?

Maybe that way I wouldn't have any expectations, and I wouldn't feel anything.

Sheng Xia raised his back slightly, and unconsciously covered his heart with his hands.

I didn't have breakfast in the morning, and now I feel a little sore from being hungry.

Sheng Xia thought to himself, he has another stomach problem.

If it wasn't because Sheng Xia instinctively lowered her head when she covered her heart, she would definitely find out.At that moment, Ling Xiao also frowned slightly, and his Adam's apple also rolled.

"Today, the First Civil Tribunal of the Municipal People's Court opened a closed court here to hear the plaintiff Ling Xiao vs. Lu Cheng formed a collegial panel according to the law, and now the court is announced."

Sheng Xia didn't really hear it from the beginning to the end. He heard all those words, but he didn't hear a single word in his heart.

Sheng Xia was still staring at Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao never gave him any intersection of eyes since that glance just now.

When the presiding judge was speaking, Ling Xiao would turn his gaze to the presiding judge.

When Sheng Pingting's attorney was speaking, Ling Xiao would also look at him, as if listening to his statement carefully.

Even when the identity of the defendant was announced, Ling Xiao would take a look at Sheng Pingting, although he still couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

He has a serious expression, sometimes looking at the person who is talking, sometimes lowering his eyes, as if he is thinking about something.The entire eye sockets were covered by thick eyelashes, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

The entire trial process lasted for four hours, with both parties submitting evidence, cross-examination, and debate.

From the current situation, it seems that Ling Xiaofang does not have the advantage.It is very likely that Ling Xiao's appeal will be rejected.

But Sheng Xia could tell that Sheng Pingting was still very nervous.

Sheng Pingting's body was always in a tense state, and she never said a word to Sheng Xia from the beginning to the end.She also seemed to have forgotten that Sheng Xia was sitting beside her.

When Ling Xiao looked at Sheng Pingting, Sheng Xia saw Sheng Pingting's hands on her lap tightened from the corner of her eye.

"If there are no other questions, the defendant will make a final statement." The presiding judge raised his head
