straight to heaven

In mid-December, the second trial is about to start, and success or failure depends on this battle.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and the matter of defending Li Yangming's innocence has caused a lot of noise in the public opinion. Netizens have a wide variety of ways to get information. .

Even though Dingrun is a large law firm that established itself in the capital more than 20 years ago, there is almost no one who can not be tired and scolding, and busy.

Grandpa Geng has been in poor health recently, and he has no time to pick him up. He has been wanting to ask me to play ball, but I have rejected him three times in a row.

The last time I was invited was at [-] o'clock in the evening. Except for a pregnant sister who returned home, everyone else in our group was working overtime.This rich and idle man is ashamed to scold me with a shy face, saying that I don't have him in my heart.After a while, I asked me with a playful smile when I would have time to have a light meal with Ms. Zhou who had taken a fancy to me, and I made it clear that I made several phone calls to him.

My eyes hurt from staring at the computer all day, so I immediately sent a voice message and cursed back.

"Fool, get out."

Enemy road is narrow.

I also work overtime for foreign affairs. He Weisi happened to come to the second floor and passed by me.His eyes were also bloodshot, and the way he looked down at me was quite scary.

"Who are you scolding?"

Follow wherever.

I was so tired that I didn't have a good temper, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "I misunderstood, I'm not scolding you." I shook the WeChat chat page in front of him, clicked on the voice bar, and said "Stupid, get out!" These three words were played again in front of him.

The misunderstanding was explained clearly, but He Weisi's face turned darker.

Xie Yi heard the commotion, and came out to make peace: "Cough...Xiaoshan, I have a file of the [-] case, please send it to Pei Lu for me."

Before I had time to pick it up, He Weisi sneered and said, "Don't, Pei Lu is so busy, isn't it intentional to make people feel uncomfortable by asking Lin Xiaoshan to deliver the materials?"

These words are all about the incident that I was slapped by Pei Yanlai before, which directly poked my lungs.

I'm not a good-tempered person, and I got angry when I heard what he said, but it's a pity that Li Xiaoxiao came over and took the file from Xie Yi's hand before his face was pulled down.

"Shan'er, Pei Lu wants coffee, you go make a cup, and I'll send it to you later." She paused: "What are you doing in a daze? Go to work, gentlemen."

The makeup on her face was a little dull at night, but it couldn't cover up the seductive color. Every time she opened and closed her red lips, and raised her eyebrows, even He Weisi remained silent and stopped being a demon.

I got up and went to the pantry.

There was no one else in the tea room, Li Xiaoxiao stood beside me, took his feet out of the high heels and loosened his ankles: "Why did you offend him?"

I tossed the coffee machine and asked, "Who offended?"

Li Xiaoxiao replied: "Outside, and inside." Obviously also heard about my office gossip.

I didn't pass the coffee to her until the coffee was ready: "I don't get along with each other, it's annoying to see each other."

She gave me a fixed look: "Okay, fool me."

"How dare you." I said blankly, "What do you want to hear?"

She laughed and said nothing, just slapped me on the shoulder with a thick stack of documents.

I followed her out of the tea room, and when I passed by Pei Yan's office, I subconsciously slowed down my pace.

Li Xiaoxiao called me, I was distracted at first and didn't hear, then she elbowed me: "Knock on the door for me, I'm out of hands."

I woke up like a dream, reached out and knocked twice.

"Please come in." It was Pei Yanlai's voice.

I thought of something, hesitated for two seconds, and failed to follow up.Before entering the door, Li Xiaoxiao glanced at me lightly.

The door opened and closed, and I glimpsed Pei Yanlai's face briefly through the crack of the door.

When Li Xiaoxiao entered the door, he habitually raised his eyes, met her gaze, nodded politely, smiled, as a greeting, and quickly lowered himself to deal with the work.

Elegant and handsome, gentle and gentleman, no matter how you look at it, he is impeccable, and he will not change his face even if the sky falls.

The door closed, but I felt as if I was possessed by an evil spirit. I leaned my back against the wall, stretched my legs, and didn't leave in a daze.

About 2 minutes later, Li Xiaoxiao opened the door again and came out.Seeing me staying where I was, she closed the door and raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

I actually wanted to say something, but in the end I just shook my head.

After walking a few steps, Li Xiaoxiao took the initiative to ask, "Hey, Shan'er, was Lawyer Pei like this when he was in high school?"

"what?"

She explained: "I heard that the lights in his office were left on for three nights in a row, like a robot, and he didn't need to sleep. I just saw his eyes turn red, and I tried to persuade him to take a rest, but people said, 'It's okay, Thank you for your concern'."

I paused, and slowed down uncontrollably: "Who did you listen to?"

Li Xiaoxiao replied: "Old Xu on the third floor. They also have a big case involving foreign affairs recently, and they mentioned a few words during the afternoon chat."

I couldn't move at all.

Pei Yanlai's sleep quality is very poor, and it is impossible to fall asleep with the lights on.

Three nights... still drinking coffee in the wee hours of the morning, does he not want to live?

Hold.

I turned on my toes, turned around and walked back without thinking.

"Hey, why go?" Li Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

I sneered: "Save people."

Human life is at stake, I don't care if he bothers me or not for the time being.

The door was pushed open, Pei Yanlai frowned slightly, seeing someone coming in, his fatigue disappeared in an instant.The emotions are collected rapidly, if I am not familiar with his temperament, I can't see the difference in the state.

He only glanced at me lightly, which was considered polite: "Remember to knock on the door."

I was more stubborn than a donkey, so I insisted on taking it seriously. I gritted my teeth and backed out. I knocked twice, and before he could respond, I walked up to him. Take a look.

It contained hot milk.He didn't seem to have guessed my reason for coming, he stared at the cup for a few seconds before looking away.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

The liquid level of the coffee has dropped by about five centimeters.He can't drink anymore and is not afraid of myolysis.

I remove the coffee, "I'm here to help."

Pei Yanlai glanced away from the milk again.I thought to myself, it’s better to look at me than you look at it.

Even Iron Man couldn't stand it.

He was probably really exhausted, his brows were lowered, and he looked fierce.If time goes back to high school, when I can still have a good conversation with him, he will probably look at me and tease me nonchalantly, "It's not helping?"

But times have changed.This man was plated with six feet of gold, and I was expelled from the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, only to be treated with a few lukewarm words of charity by him.

"Assistant Lin, do your job well." Pei Yanlai smiled half-truthfully, fixed her eyes on the screen, and said softly, "Leave the coffee, thank you."

The implication is to let me mind my own business.

But since I was already hated by him, it was not bad this time, so I just pretended to be deaf and dumb and took the coffee away.

When I stepped out the door, he paused for a few seconds while typing on the keyboard.

In the tea room, I met Li Xiaoxiao again.

I poured the coffee into the sink and cleaned the cup, and she stood there, raising her eyebrows.

I shook the water off my hands, "Why are you here?"

"Shh, be lazy for a while." She stretched her waist: "You..."

I also made a silent gesture to her: "Shh, don't ask."

She spread her hands: "You little facial paralysis is really boring. I don't ask, it's okay."

When I knocked on the door again, the good news was that the milk was passive, not much, just one sip.The bad news is that Pei Yanlai completely ignored me.

It's just that my three-year career in the workplace has worn my skin thicker.I brought the tablet in, and sat on the reception sofa to handle my work without saying a word.

After working hard for a few minutes, the left side of my body suddenly felt cold, like a sixth sense.When I looked up, Pei Yanlai was indeed looking at me.The expression is calm, there is no emotion in the eyes, the sitting posture is a little lazy, and the pen is loosely held in the hand.

Looking at him, I stopped my movements.

I'm not a one-threaded creature.But when I went to Pei Yanlai, it was as if the initial program had been tampered with by a virus, and the terminal could only load this single-person data.

Really worthless.

Silence spread.

I became uneasy, my fingers curled into my palms, wondering if I was going to be kicked out soon.

With a "snap", the pen fell on the table like a gavel, and goosebumps crawled back quietly.

"What do you want to do?" He asked me softly.

It was very calm, I couldn't see the waves of his emotions, my heart suddenly seemed to be pinched by someone, and it was stuffy and aching.

After twelve o'clock, it is already a new day.The words lingered on the back of my tongue for a long time, and finally I told him, "It's [-]:[-], you close your eyes and rest for half an hour, and I'll leave as soon as the time is up."

After finishing speaking, Pei Yanlai did not respond.

I clicked on the music software on the tablet, randomly selected a violin piece from the favorites, played it for a few seconds, and said the whole thing: "...otherwise I'll be here all the time."

Because I don't get a response, I hardly ask anyone, let alone do rogue stuff.The posture is unnatural and embarrassing.

If Pei Yan comes and doesn't bombard me, I won't leave.Thinking about it now, I seem to have been testing his bottom line in this shameless way.In the past, I thought I was affectionate and "arrogant because of pets", and he turned a blind eye and didn't bother to talk to me, but now the situation is different.It's just that Pei Yanlai has largely remained the same, and I was the only one who went wrong from beginning to end.

The process of setting things right is difficult.

But under normal circumstances, I have always been a negative person. I have long had "impossible to have Pei Yanlai" as a catch-all clause, and the pain has been ground into a roll of rough toilet paper in the long numbness.

I was apprehensive and didn't dare to look at him again after that.

What is silent is people, what is loud is music.

Maybe a few minutes later, or maybe not so long, it happened to be Vivaldi's "Four Seasons".

I'm really impressed with this set.When I was young, Pei Yanlai once fell asleep on my palm briefly in the suite "Spring".This memory is as fresh as a freshly picked rose.

I looked up again halfway through the song, only to see that the man had closed his eyes.

His breathing was steady, and he didn't know if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind or he was really falling asleep. After a while, he realized that his typing on the keyboard and flipping through files had stopped for a few minutes.

Maybe he was so tired that he didn't even bother to speak.

Pei Yanlai half-clasped one hand and rested it on the desk.My eyes flicked across that face, and finally stopped on the palm of this man.

A small dark shadow clearly sank under the palm.

I tilted my head and looked at it carefully for a long time before I could guess in my mind what it was that he was holding.

It was the Pandora's box that I accidentally knocked over.

The suite is put at the end.

I look away.
