Chapter 19 Worse Than a Dog

I don't know if long-term love is an advantage, but it must be a bad thing to go crazy and wishful thinking.Going home from the archery gym, I thought it would be a long night, but I fell asleep and fell asleep.

I often see Pei Yanlai many years ago in my dreams, and it is the same tonight.

He is too vivid in my memory, every time he enters my dream, it is like watching a colorful painting exhibition.Holding a seven-hour ticket, I was reluctant to leave the venue on time. When I woke up, my chest felt like it had been hollowed out, which was more empty than the feeling of kidney deficiency.

I'm such a greedy animal.

I used to think that since I would never see this person again, it would be good to dream.Now that the person has appeared in front of me alive, I begin to feel that dreaming is not enough.

This night, Pei Yanlai, who was in high school, only stayed here for a few moments. In a blink of an eye, the situation has changed. He is mature, handsome, tall and calm, like a giant snake that is determined to move, and he grabbed my neck with only one hand.It seems that even my breathing is under the power of this tyrant, and I gain secret happiness in a kind of extreme control.

The next morning, I almost thought I was going to die in my dream.It was only after I opened my eyes that I realized that it was fake that Pei Yan came to strangle my throat last night, and it was real that the ring-shaped cervical pillow stuck my neck in reverse.

Uncle Chen gradually calmed down as the pillow fell to the ground, and I crawled into the toilet like a dead dog that has been healed too much.Randomly thinking about when will you be able to have a star life, if you go on like this, you will soon be insane, Pei Yan, good Bodhisattva, save your old classmate...

I got out of my body, wandered into the subway, and sat for two stops before realizing that I didn't bring my mobile phone.I had no choice but to struggle to get out of the morning rush hour train and run home to get my cell phone.In short, I pushed open the door of the law firm, and the front desk was startled by my sluggish face.

"Lin Zhu, are you alright?" She took out a box of Wangzai milk with concern: "Take it to calm down the panic?"

I was 10 minutes late, for fear of being caught by Lao Hu.I took two steps closer, but I didn't answer. I took out a contract from my bag and handed it to her, and hurriedly informed: "Thank you, no need. Mr. Chen Guoming is visiting at ten o'clock, give him this."

The receptionist nodded and took it, looking at me still delicately: "Okay."

"Hard."

But Skynet was restored, and Lao Hu still caught me.

5 minutes ago, he called me on the intercom and asked me to go to his office with the materials.I was not there at the time, and it was Xie Yi who answered the phone.

After Xie Yi conveyed the news, he gave me a self-seeking look.

Lao Hu has always been known for his upright and rigorous style of conduct. He has a good temper and is a good boss who is not difficult to get along with.If you make a mistake, you will be beaten at attention, and if you make a mistake, you will be paid at the end of the month.Because I was taught by the same master as my stepfather Gao Kai, he took good care of me.

But I am not close to Gao Kai, and I am deeply ashamed of this kindness.My legs are weak and my mouth is short. I have been working in the law firm for so long, although I am not active, but I am conscientious and have not made any mistakes.

But recently, I first dropped the personal belongings of the new senior partner, and I was late at the stall where he was looking for me.Before entering the door, I was somewhat apprehensive.

He knocked on the door, and it was Old Hu who answered, listening through the door, his voice sounded a bit muffled: "Come in."

In just one word, you can't tell whether you are in a good mood or a bad mood.

I cleared my throat, pushed the door open and walked in: "Hu Lv, the documents you want."

Lao Hu glanced at me, didn't speak, got up and took the file by himself, and walked towards the sofa.When I looked up, I realized that he was not the only one in the office.

Pei Yanlai sat on the sofa, drinking coffee.

I have a good nose, and the aroma of coffee came to me. I immediately smelled that it was the bag of coffee beans from Hawaii, which cost fifty dollars a pound. It was usually placed in the tea room, and no one except Lao Hu touched it.

There were three glasses on the table, steaming, and obviously my share.It's a pity that these beans are sour, Pei Yanlai may not like them.But he was always moody and angry, and he kept his mouth shut without moving his brows.

"Sit." Lao Hu nodded to the sofa beside Pei Yanlai.

I kept my face calm, but in the middle of the night last night, I still looked at the face next to me, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I first saw a real person.

Let's talk about the case first.

Lao Hu took out the USB flash drive, which contained important audio-visual materials.I have seen the content, it is part of the interrogation process that was not normally filmed, and I don't know who filmed it.

These people were very skillful and used various methods to extract confessions. After two days of tossing, Li Yangming couldn't detect any injuries on his body.

I always thought that it was Lao Hu who got the video with his supernatural powers, but unexpectedly he pushed the USB flash drive to Pei Yanlai: "According to your request, I have asked someone to process the clarity and anti-shake, and it is possible to recognize Li Yangming's facial features. It is now returned to its original owner."

It turned out to be Pei Yanlai.

I am temporarily his assistant, but when he did this please, I have no idea.

In addition to being shocked, I still have something to ask: "Isn't it true that abnormally shot videos cannot be used as legal evidence? During the cross-examination session, the prosecution may use this as an argument."

"Yes." Pei Yan said, "Then don't take it as evidence."

"..." I didn't understand what he meant.

But no one explained it to me.

"Xiao Shan, follow Lawyer Pei to listen more, watch more and do things more." Old Hu said earnestly: "The next step will be hard work for you, come the wild goose."

The name Yan Lai is so nasty, after listening to it, I can't drink my coffee anymore.

Pei Yanlai shook his head, and said with a smile, "I'm the one to trouble you, so don't be so polite."

The two chatted a few more words about Li Yangming's case, the words were brief and meaningful, which made me startled and dared not interrupt.

After the discussion of the case was over, Lao Hu finally thought of me again.

"By the way, Xiao Shan." Lao Hu called me, "Lawyer Pei is also here. You should formally apologize to him for what happened last time."

It means the old account of slipping and dropping the box.

I don't mind saying sorry one more time, but Pei Yan came and waved at me.In accordance with Pei Yanlai's first priority, I reflexively shut up.

Pei Yanlai smiled helplessly: "Hu Lu, to be honest, it's just a trivial matter, and I didn't take it to heart. What's more, Lin Zhu has already apologized to me."

He gave us, mainly Lao Hu, a nice step down.

"That's right, that's good." Old Hu looked at me with serious eyes, and I didn't want to delve into the deep meaning in it: "Xiao Shan has helped you during this period, so you didn't cause trouble?"

Pei Yanlai was always cautious: "No, don't worry."

Lao Hu sighed: "His family members are my juniors, and this child is under my command when he enters the institute. He is considered my half-disciple." He paused, and then said: "Xiao Shan, he has a dull temper and few words, but All aspects of ability are still very good.”

He paused for two seconds, then continued, "I will trouble Pei Lu's education in the future."

after?Trouble Pei Lu?

What do you mean?

I soon realized that Lao Hu was pushing me to be Pei Yanlai's assistant, both openly and secretly.

This scene is a bit like Tuogu.Very weird.

I looked at Lao Hu in surprise. Today he is wearing a black suit unshakably. I don't know what he is up to recently. He has lost a lot of weight.I caught a glimpse of Pei Yanlai again from the corner of my eye, and he paused when he put down the coffee cup.

"You're being polite." Pei Yanlai replied after being silent for a while.

Two seconds later, the coffee cup landed on the solid wood coffee table with a muffled sound.

I hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help calling Lao Hu: "Uncle Hu."

When Lao Hu heard me call him that, he didn't speak.He glanced at me, and there was wordless restraint in this look, so I could only swallow all the words.

Although Lao Hu is older, he is at the same level as Pei Yanlai in the office.He knew that I was an old acquaintance who had a quarrel with him, and he opened up the conversation to this point, which I didn't expect.At this moment, he is more like my stepfather than Gao Kai, and he is worried that I will be wronged and left unprotected by my new boss.I just feel ashamed, and I'm sorry for such kindness.

Pei Yanlai lowered her eyes, pretending not to see my eye contact with Lao Hu.

"Hu Lu, don't worry."

He said a lot of words like this today, and he didn't find it annoying.

The conversation came to an end.

I left the office with three half-filled cups of coffee and two hands full.I don't know if it was because of Lao Hu's affection, Pei Yanlai took the initiative to open the door for me.

I was full of thoughts, and I blurted out without thinking, "Thank you." After I saw Pei Yanlai's face clearly, I felt awkward.

I have never been so respectful to Pei Yanlai.Even if I enshrined him on the altar before and regarded him as the moon that cannot be desecrated, I have never been so humble.Even if the only thing between me and him is the pale old story of being at the same table in high school, it seems that I am too ignorant.

Pei Yanlai's gaze was obscure.After a while, Pei Yan came to his senses until Lao Hu stared at us at the door in amazement and asked "what's the matter", and an inexplicable breath escaped from his teeth.

This man swept his gaze over my collarbone, and lifted my shirt collar with his fingers, giving people an almost intimacy illusion.

"The shirt is buttoned wrong."

I was taken aback immediately, and quickly lowered my head to check.Just found the culprit, the tray in my hand was off balance.

I was in a hurry.

The china mug survived, but the shirt suffered.On the white cloth on the chest, there was a large pool of wet coffee stains, which was quite embarrassing.Some liquid seeped through the clothes, and was dripping wetly from the chest, slowly flowing down the abdominal muscles.I was itchy with scares, but I couldn't laugh.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the scene of the death of the society so embarrassing in front of the boss and Bai Yueguang in 11.

Old Hu was taken aback: "You brat, why are you always so rough lately?"

From the corner of my eye, I saw him standing up, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, you are busy, I will deal with it right away."

But before Lao Hu could react, Pei Yanlai made a move first.

His eyes first fell on my chest which was wet with coffee, the emotion in this eyes was very heavy, I couldn't understand it.But soon, the ancestor who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book suddenly took a deep breath.

Browbones suddenly lowered.On this handsome and quiet face, the extremely sharp eyes are extraordinarily ruthless, and the familiar and terrifying animal nature is revived in the depths.

He looked away, and I didn't miss the fleeting but deep emotion in this man's eyes.

Without temperature, it is disgust that cannot be mistaken.

A blow to the head almost hit me until my brain became numb and my hands and feet were cold.

I have known Pei Yan for 11 years, during which there was no contact for nine years.

But despite that awful, inexplicable last look, he never gave me that look.

For a moment, I seemed to be standing on the shooting range in the alley that night.It's just that last time he took off his mask to let me see his face clearly, but this time, he wanted to press me to death on it.

There was no napkin at hand, so Pei Yanlai tore off the tie and threw it on me, just covering the left half of my chest that was wet with coffee.

"No need to pay it back," he said.

This basically has the same meaning as "get out of the way".

He slammed the door away with a loud "bang".Lost sense of propriety, do not pay attention to demeanor, this is not "Pei Yanlai".

The sound of closing the door was deafening, and Old Hu was dumbfounded.

He looked at me, then at the door.It seems that I don't understand how things got out of control so quickly in just one minute, and I don't understand what I did to make Pei Yan, who has always advanced and retreated, and never changed his face, lose his composure to this point.

I stood there in a daze, and was silently tortured by Lao Hu, but I couldn't say a word.

The sound of closing the door was like the roar of the devil, which got into my ears, tormented me, tortured me, and made me unable to think for a while because of the noise.

It turned out that the dream last night was like this.

I was in a mess, but suddenly realized.

Pei Yanlai hates me.

This is much harder to accept than if he doesn't like me.
