love sinus late

In the eight years in the United States, Gao Chi first studied for a year of preparatory courses, was admitted to the Law School of Southern California University, and then applied for a master's degree for two years.After graduation, he worked for a year in a Chinese-owned law firm in Los Angeles, and finally chose to return to China this year.

With his returnee background and perfect resume, he found a satisfactory job as soon as he returned to China.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being a lawyer is a profession that others envy. It is flexible and free, and earns a lot of money.

But lawyers often work overtime and have very little rest time.Every weekend, Gao Chi basically spends in the institute, either investigating and collecting evidence, or preparing to appear in court.

Another overtime night.

It was almost ten o'clock when Gao Chi drove home. He parked the car and walked back to the ground from the parking lot, passing a small garden on the way.

The greening of the community is well done. Different varieties of flowers and trees are planted under each building, and a gazebo is built in the middle, which is really like a garden.

Recently, Gao Chi was dealing with a difficult financial dispute case, and he was under a lot of pressure. Instead of going upstairs in a hurry, he sat in the gazebo, blowing the wind for a while, and smoking a cigarette.

The night was quiet, with only a few long chirping insects.

Suddenly, a meow broke the tranquility of this moment.

Gao Chi shook the hand holding the cigarette, and a small piece of ash fell on the ground, at the same time the cat meowed again.

Gao Chi suddenly lost the mood to smoke. He stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can next to him, and looked in the direction of the sound.

There is a flat grass field behind the gazebo, and several cats are surrounded in the middle of the grass field, burying their heads in eating cat food.

Gao Chi didn't even think about it, he raised his foot and planned to leave.

Just as he took a step, a soft and low voice sounded behind him.

There are people here?

Gao Chi turned around and took another look, only to see a young man squatting on the grass picking up food scraps. After cleaning up, he got up and turned his head, and happened to meet Gao Chi's eyes.

Both of them froze in place without speaking.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?Surprised and suspicious, Gao Chi stared at the other person's face without looking away for a long time.

The other party was obviously startled too, the cardboard box in his hand was not held firmly, and fell to the ground, and the wind blew, and it floated to Gao Chi's feet.

They bent down to pick them up almost at the same time.

Gao Chi was close, and touched the paper box first, and the other party immediately withdrew his hand, his expression seemed a little panicked.

Gao Chi passed the paper box forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Siqi took it, lowered her head and fiddled with the paper box, and said after a few seconds: "I'm here to feed the cats, they usually come out at night, so I..."

Gao Chi interrupted him: "I mean, why did you appear here?"

Zhao Siqi said, "Because I live here."

Gao Chi also guessed it. He nodded and said, "What a coincidence, I live here too. I'm in Building 706 [-]."

Zhao Siqi raised her head abruptly, with a dazed expression on her face, "I also live in Building 701, and my name is [-]."

It's so coincidental that even Gao Chi finds it unbelievable.

As a lawyer, he has always been eloquent and never cold, but at this moment, Gao Chi didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he put away his shock, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled at Zhao Siqi: "Then we are neighbors now?"

Zhao Siqi also showed a polite smile, "Forget it."

His eyelids are thin, and the tails of his eyes are long and narrow. The light from the Lingling moon illuminates the curves at the tails of his eyes very clearly.

The two walked side by side in the direction of the eight buildings.

On the way, they fell into silence.But Zhao Siqi seemed to have something to say, he licked his lower lip, the dry and peeling lips were soaked with saliva, and there was a faint light shining in the darkness.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question." Zhao Siqi said, "The meeting was too hasty last time, and I always forgot to send you a WeChat message."

Gao Chi looked at him sideways: "What's the problem?"

Zhao Siqi asked, "When did you return to China?"

Gao Chi said: "About half a year ago."

Zhao Siqi nodded.The two walked into the elevator together, and in the confined and narrow space, every minute and every second they didn't speak was extremely long.

"By the way, do you know that there will be a class reunion at the end of the month?" Gao Chi said.

Zhao Siqi stared at the rising number and said, "I don't know."

With a ding, the elevator door opened.Gao Chi pressed the button to open the door, raised his chin, and signaled Zhao Siqi to go first.

Zhao Siqi said "Thank you" in a low voice, and then heard Gao Chi asking behind him, "Would you like to go to the class reunion with me?"

The light on the top of the elevator was very bright, and Gao Chi's eyes were even brighter. He raised his eyebrows and fixedly stared at Zhao Siqi.

I don't know why, but Gao Chi is very confident that Zhao Siqi will agree to him.

Although they haven't met or contacted each other for eight years, Gao Chi has this confidence.

Sure enough, Zhao Siqi did not hesitate for a long time and said, "Okay."

Gao Chi stepped out of the elevator and walked forward with Zhao Siqi, "I heard from Li Han that it will be on Saturday night. I will send you the address when the time comes, and we will take a taxi there."

Zhao Siqi said again: "Okay."

That's the only word he seems to say.Gao Chi recalled his high school days. In his vague memory, the person in front of him did not like to talk, but he was not so reticent.

Gao Chi thought of the scene where Zhao Siqi was feeding the cat in the garden just now, and he felt that Zhao Siqi said more to the cat than to him.

After all, it's been too long since we haven't contacted each other. No matter how good a friend is, they can't survive eight years without hearing from each other.

--------

The class reunion will be held in a KTV, a luxury room that can accommodate up to 50 people.

There were only forty people in the class, and some people couldn't come because of business. The large sofa was not full, and everyone sat sparsely, forming a few small groups, chatting with each other, but it was lively.

There was a little traffic jam on the road tonight, and when Gao Chi and Zhao Siqi arrived at the KTV, the party had already started.

They pushed open the door of the box, and the dazzling lights and deafening singing came like waves.The people inside looked at the door in unison, the conversation stopped abruptly, and only the accompaniment on the big screen was still playing.

In the eight years since graduation, there have been eight class reunions, and this is the first time Gao Chi has participated.

Everyone stared at him blankly, without any response for a long time.

Gao Chi raised his eyebrows: "Why, you don't know me anymore?"

Then everyone let out a burst of surprise.

Hou Junxin walked over quickly, pulled Gaochi to sit beside them, and complained as he walked: "Why are you here so late, I thought you were going to let us pigeons go."

Gao Chi put his arm on Hou Junxin's shoulder and said, "Please, I always keep my promise. When will I let the pigeons go?"

Zhao Siqi stopped walking upon hearing this.

The lighting in the private room was very dim, with colorful light balls flickering, and Zhao Siqi's face could not be seen to be a little pale.

After walking a few meters, Gao Chi found that Zhao Siqi hadn't followed, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Siqi shook her head, quickly caught up with Gao Chi, and the two sat down together.

Hou Junxin looked at Gao Chi, then at Zhao Siqi.After a while, he leaned close to Gao Chi's ear and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come with him?"

Gao Chi also took a look at Zhao Siqi, and saw him sitting in the corner of the sofa, drinking water in silence, seemingly not interested in chatting with the students around him.

Gao Chi withdrew his gaze and said, "We are neighbors now, so we came together along the way."

Hou Junxin asked again: "Have you been in touch all these years?"

Gao Chi shook his head.At this time, a few classmates came over to say hello to him, and the first question everyone asked was, Brother Chi, why did you decide to return to China after so many years of being free in the United States?

Gao Chi smiled: "I'm tired of eating hamburgers and French fries, and I miss the delicacies of the land of China, so I came back."

One of the boys yelled: "Brother Chi, you are not kind. You left so suddenly back then, and you didn't tell everyone. At least you have to leave a contact information for us."

Gao Chi knew that he couldn't escape this topic tonight, so he said, "I was too young before, I had a good face, and I was not sensible, so don't bother with me."

Hou Junxin clapped his hands together: "Let me tell you, if I hadn't gone to USC for a semester exchange in my senior year and happened to meet Gao Chi, I would have cut off contact with him for eight years."

These words fell into Zhao Siqi's ears like a thunderclap.

It turns out that Gao Chi has been in contact with Hou Junxin for several years?

The air conditioner in the box was turned on very high, and the cold wind was blowing slowly and continuously.Zhao Siqi stared blankly at Gao Chi talking and laughing happily with others. For some reason, his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was numb.

At this time, the KTV waiter brought in a case of cold beer, and everyone took a can each, chatting while drinking.Unknowingly, an encirclement circle centered on Gao Chi was formed.Zhao Siqi is not in the circle.

Not knowing whether the wind was too cold or the water was too cold, Zhao Siqi got up and decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face with hot water.

Coming out of the bathroom, Zhao Siqi saw a woman walking towards him, it was his former deskmate Wen Lingling.

Wen Lingling was a little surprised when she saw him: "Didn't you say that you can't come on the night shift today? Why are you here again?"

After many years of graduation, Zhao Siqi and Wen Lingling still keep in touch, and their relationship is fairly close.This was also the first time Zhao Siqi spoke to anyone at the party tonight. He smiled and said, "I changed shifts with my colleagues, so I decided to come here if I have time."

Wen Lingling nodded: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's really time to come."

Holding her waist, she and Zhao Siqi walked slowly in the direction of KTV.

Opening the door, she saw the man sitting in the middle of the sofa at a glance. His appearance was not much different from eight years ago, but he became more handsome, more handsome, and more eye-catching.

"My god, is this Gao Chi?"

Wen Lingling did not expect to see Gao Chi at this year's class reunion.She supported her waist with one hand and held her belly in the other, and stood at the door blankly, her mouth was open and she didn't close it for a long time.

Gao Chi got up and nodded to her: "Wen Lingling, long time no see."

Wen Lingling walked up to Gao Chi and looked him over from head to toe, "You haven't seen anything for so many years, I thought you died abroad!"

Hou Junxin was drinking and almost choked when he heard the words, "Sister, can you talk?"

Wen Lingling's current personality is the same as in high school. Even if she is pregnant and is going to be a mother, she still has the temperament of a little girl bluffing.

"I'm not wrong. A certain person has been away for eight years, and now he finally came back without notifying everyone. How is it different from a dead person?"

Hou Junxin protected his friend: "Isn't he busy with work..."

Wen Lingling choked back: "What's wrong with being busy with work? I found out that being busy with work is the most common excuse you men use."

Hou Junxin was unhappy when he heard it, "Sister, you can't beat all the men to death with a stick, Brother Chi, he..."

Wen Lingling interrupted him: "Why, are you going to quarrel with a pregnant woman?"

"I don't dare to argue with you." Hou Junxin shut up immediately, and even bowed his hands to Wen Lingling.

Gao Chi handed Wen Lingling a glass of juice and said, "Don't get excited, it's not good for your health to move your fetus."

Wen Lingling took it unceremoniously, and raised her head to take a big sip, with a more heroic manner than the people drinking beside her.

Gao Chi thought of Wen Lingling eating in high school, and suddenly felt a little funny.His eyes fell on Wen Lingling's protruding belly again, and he asked, "How long have you been married and when did you give birth?"

"I got married last year, and the due date is at the end of the year." Wen Lingling sat next to Zhao Siqi naturally, and Zhao Siqi moved to the side when she saw this, consciously giving more space to the pregnant woman.

"What about you, do you have a girlfriend?" Wen Lingling asked Gao Chi back.

Gao Chi shook his head.

"Why don't you talk about it? Don't your parents urge you to get married?" Wen Lingling asked.

Gao Chi said: "I'm not in a hurry, I didn't think about getting married so early. They're not in a hurry either."

Some people around asked curiously: "Brother Chi, is he still thinking about his first love girlfriend? Is this time returning to China to rekindle an old relationship?"

Gao Chi was stunned for a second, then smiled and said: "What, do you watch too many novels and TV shows? How long ago did this happen, how could I still think about it."

Wen Lingling snorted softly, "It's useless even if you think about it. Yu Ran got married right after graduating from university, and now her son is in kindergarten."

Gao Chi was a little surprised: "Really?"

"Of course it is true." Wen Lingling said, "I also made an appointment with her. If I also give birth to a son, we will be sworn brothers with her son. If I give birth to a daughter, we will marry a child."

Everyone laughed.

The party is still going on.

In the lively and noisy atmosphere, Gao Chi's peripheral vision glanced at the unremarkable person sitting in the corner several times.

There were several unopened beer cans on the table, but Zhao Siqi didn't take them, he was drinking the free water from KTV all the time.Sitting on the left is Li Han, and on the right is Wen Lingling. It seems that he is only familiar with these two people, and they chat occasionally.For the rest of the time, Zhao Siqi sometimes propped her head up to listen to the chatting of the people next to her, and sometimes looked at the classmate who was singing with a microphone on the stage, or just quietly stared alone in a daze.

He seemed out of place in this noisy scene.

Gao Chi looked back and drank the last bit of beer in the can.

The party lasted until eleven o'clock.

Coming out of KTV, Gao Chi was going to take a taxi home with Zhao Siqi, but was stopped by an old classmate on the way.

She is the female squad leader. She has been married for two years. She caught her husband cheating some time ago. She wants to file a divorce lawsuit, so she wants to consult Gao Chi with some questions.

Gao Chi chatted with her for a while on the side of the road, while Zhao Siqi was waiting beside her.After waiting for 10 minutes, Zhao Siqi glanced at his watch, and Gao Chi noticed his movement, so he said, "It's a bit late now, why don't you wait for me and go back by yourself first?"

Zhao Siqi was slightly taken aback, nodded and said, "Oh, good."

After he finished speaking, he didn't stop much, walked straight to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and quickly disappeared on the road.

Now Gao Chi was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Siqi to agree so simply and leave so decisively.

He originally thought that Zhao Siqi would say "It's okay, I'll wait until you go back together".He was still thinking, if Zhao Siqi really said that, he would go with Zhao Siqi first, leave a cell phone number for the squad leader, and then contact him later.

"Brother Chi, do you have a good relationship with Xiao Zhao?" The female squad leader followed his gaze and asked.

Gao Chi nodded, then shook his head again, his tone was flat, without any emotion, "It's okay, ordinary friends, but we live in a community now, and we have an extra neighbor relationship."

The female squad leader said "Oh" and asked again: "Aren't you tired of dealing with him? I always think he is arrogant and doesn't care about others."

Gao Chi smiled and said, "It's not that he's arrogant, it's that he's timid, and he doesn't dare associate with people he doesn't know well."

Thinking of Zhao Siqi's indifferent attitude towards him since they met again, Gao Chi couldn't help but twitched his lips again.

He should be one of the people Zhao Siqi doesn't know well now.

The topic gradually went off the rails, and before he knew it, Gao Chi told the female class monitor something about Zhao Siqi's high school days.

After finishing speaking, Gao Chi felt more and more that Zhao Siqi hadn't changed in these years, he still didn't like to talk and socialize, which was no different from the cold and dull image in his impression.

After chatting for a few minutes, the off topic came back again.Talking about her husband's cheating and finding a younger and more beautiful mistress outside, the female squad leader couldn't help but her eyes were red.

Gao Chi handed her a pack of tissues in a gentlemanly manner, and the female squad leader said "thank you" and wiped her tears silently.

For some reason, Gao Chi saw the female squad leader hurt by love, and suddenly a question popped up in his mind.

For a person like Zhao Siqi, would there be something he must do, or would he be tempted by someone he loves?

Not to mention, Gao Chi is really curious about what it would be like for Zhao Siqi to fall in love.
