fall in love by chance

After the beginning of summer, the daily temperature rises, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter as it approaches Xiaoman.

The air conditioner in the company building has not been officially turned on. After lunch, everyone is a little drowsy.

Liang Ruixi lay down on his desk to take a nap, listening to the laziness of his colleagues chatting, but dreamed of the scene where he and Zhou Yan sat cross-legged at the coffee table that afternoon and chatted about the case.

They listened to the recording and discussed the case together. At first, Zhou Yan talked a lot. After he got into the mood, he was the one who expressed his opinions. Zhou Yan only occasionally gave a few sentences, and finally he wrote the lawsuit plan.He was still a little apprehensive when he wrote it, but Zhou Yan read it again after finishing it, but he did not hesitate to praise him: "Isn't it well written, there is nothing to change."

He was not without complacency: "Hey, it's such a small case, and it's not difficult."

"Okay," Zhou Yan looked at him with a smile, "If you can get the commission smoothly, I will waive your living expenses for this month."

And such a good thing? "After that, don't forget about me if you have such a job, I have to try to get rid of the 'rent'..." After throwing out that sentence, he waited impatiently for Zhou Yan's response.

Zhou Yan seemed to say something, mixed with the chatter coming from his ear, he didn't hear it clearly, he just stared at the light-colored lips that kept opening and closing, thinking in a daze, maybe Zhou Yan wanted to let himself kiss him?Does it mean that as long as he kisses, he can live in Zhou Yan's house forever?

……

With a burst of heat on her body, Liang Ruixi woke up, sweating all over her face from sleeping.

He heard Becca standing by the window complaining about the company's property: "The indoor temperature is 26 degrees, and the air conditioner is not turned on? Do you want to let people work?"

"Have you communicated with personnel several times? It was about to open last week. It was said that it was broken and someone came to repair it. I don't know if it has been repaired." Colleagues in the same group were also too hot to work. News watch news, chat chat.

"Is there a thunderstorm today?"

"Well, it's no wonder the air pressure is so low. This high-rise office building can only open two safety windows, and there's only a crack the size of a palm. It's suffocating to death."

"If it can be fully opened, how many people would be tempted to jump from such a high place..."

People sniggered, complaining about the dreary environment, rising prices and unchanging wages, while allowing themselves to immerse themselves in this day-to-day state, staying up through the winter and staying up through the summer, too lazy to make the slightest change.

Liang Ruixi took a sip of cool drink, stood up and stretched his arms.When his left foot landed on the ground, he felt that he was able to bear the force, but the sheath had not been removed, and his skin was a little itchy because of the sweltering heat.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face. Thinking of the conversation in his dream, he felt restless again.

In a blink of an eye, he had already lived in Zhou Yan's house for half a month, and the "rent" was purely a joke, and he was just staying for a while to recuperate from his injuries. It was impossible for Zhou Yan to charge him rent.

After resuming work during the May Day holiday, Zhou Yan made a schedule, woke him up early every day, drove him to work in the company, and then returned to work in his law firm.Zhou Yan would come to pick him up on time when he was not busy at night. If he was busy, Liang Ruixi would call a car to go back by himself.

In half a month, he got used to the days when Zhou Yan prepared breakfast for him, and the days when he picked him up and sent him to work.In the evening, if Zhou Yan has some unfinished work, he will take the initiative to help and play games together after finishing.Zhou Yan's support is also getting better and better, and even directs him to go east or west. If he dies, he will complain about him...

Liang Ruixi enjoys this kind of daily life very much, just like in his freshman year, he wished that his feet would heal slowly, and wished that he could live in Zhou Yan's house forever.

But Zhou Yan never took the initiative to keep him, and he was embarrassed to mention it, after all, it was Zhou Yan's home, and he was just taken in and cared for.

Coming out of the bathroom, Liang Ruixi ran into Sister Feng, the personnel manager.

Sister Feng saw that he was still leaning against the wall while walking, and couldn't help but said, "Oh, Xiao Liang, your feet aren't healed yet?"

"It's almost ready." Liang Ruixi said.

Sister Feng stopped in her tracks, as if she didn't intend to just exchange some pleasantries. Sure enough, she came up to her and asked in a low voice, "Who is the young man who picked you up and sent you to work these two days?"

Liang Ruixi froze for a moment, then said with a wandering gaze, "I used to be a classmate in college."

Sister Feng commented: "Hey, it's rare for college students to be so enthusiastic these days. I've seen it several times..."

Liang Ruixi's heart beat a little faster, and she didn't know what Sister Feng wanted to say.

"I think that young man looks pretty good, he is tall, what kind of job does he have, does he have a girlfriend?"

"Lawyer." Hearing the last question, Liang Ruixi tensed up, "What's wrong."

"I have a niece who graduated with a master's degree this year. Her mother asked me to find her a partner. If your friend is still single, you can introduce me," Sister Feng enthusiastically said, "She has just graduated and has been accepted by Haicheng Bank , and the conditions are pretty good.”

Liang Ruixi was inexplicably upset, but said with a smile: "Sister Feng, I'm single now, why don't you want to introduce me?"

"Do you need my introduction for your looks?" Sister Feng gave him an angry look, "If you tell me, none of the single girls in our company don't want to jump on you, isn't it because you just broke up with your ex-girlfriend?" , maybe you haven't slowed down..."

The corner of Liang Ruixi's mouth twitched, feeling that his whole body had turned green again.

"That classmate of yours bought a car himself, does he have a house?"

Sister Feng was still inquiring, but Liang Ruixi felt so desolate in her heart.

He knew that the other party was talking politely just now, the aunts in Haicheng are all smart, he has no car, no house, no registered permanent residence, what's the use of being just handsome?Can handsome be eaten these days?

He didn't take it to heart, he just felt dissatisfied for Zhou Yan, because the other party's comparison just made him very uncomfortable.

Why, he doesn't need an introduction, Zhou Yan does?If it hadn't been for being labeled as Xiao Zhi's boyfriend back then, Zhou Yantang, the chairman of the student union of the law department, who had to be talented and good-looking, wouldn't there be fewer peach blossoms in F University?

"He has it," Liang Ruixi repeated with a sullen face, "my classmate already has a partner."

"Okay..." Sister Feng left resentfully.

Liang Ruixi limped back, thinking to himself, shit, what are you thinking about introducing a girlfriend to Zhou Yan? !Zhou Yan has been secretly in love with him for six years, even if he introduces Chang'e, he probably won't even blink his eyes!

With such a sigh, Liang Ruixi couldn't help but reflect on his current relationship with Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan said to wait for him and asked him to think clearly, but he didn't even know what he should do.

The two have lived together for half a month, and Zhou Yan has never overstepped him. He obviously likes him, and Zhou Yan doesn't touch him every day when he lies on the same bed.It made Liang Ruixi a little suspicious now, is it because he is not attractive or Zhou Yan is really not good at it, how can he be within reach of the object he has liked for six years but not have any evil thoughts?

It's no wonder that he hasn't pursued it in depth for six years. Zhou Yan was also like this back then. No matter how ambiguous his actions were, he was as upright as a great monk who would not be tempted by mundane things.

After returning to the office for a few minutes, there was a "buzz" sound overhead, and the building's central air conditioner was finally turned on.

Everyone cheered for a while, and felt that the next half day became better.The temperature in the office dropped slowly under the vigorous operation of modern electrical appliances, but Liang Ruixi still felt congested in his chest, like the low-voltage moment before the thunderstorm, a heart hanging up and down in the dull air, and It's like the hourglass of life has encountered an insurmountable bottleneck, and it is difficult to drop even a single grain of sand.

It started to get cloudy around five o'clock, and everyone looked out of the window anxiously, fearing that the rainstorm would come before get off work.

Zhou Yan sent a message to Liang Ruixi, saying: "There will be heavy rain soon. I will drive here, and the road may be blocked. After you get off work, don't take a taxi by yourself, and don't run around. Be obedient and wait at the company."

Liang Ruixi replied with an emoji of Shiba Inu nodding.

Before six o'clock, the heavy rain came down, blocking a group of office workers who were going to catch the subway in the company building.Even those who brought umbrellas did not dare to rush out when they saw such heavy rain.

At [-]:[-], Liang Ruixi received a call from Zhou Yan: "I'm downstairs in your company."

He was like a child whose parents came to pick him up in advance. Under the envious eyes of a group of people, he bumped his feet and squeezed out of the crowd, heading straight for the familiar car.

After getting in the car, Zhou Yan handed him another cup of milk tea.

"Hey, there's milk tea!" Liang Ruixi was overjoyed.

"I just met a client. The other party bought it. I didn't drink it. I kept it for you." Zhou Yan glanced at him with a smile, let go of the handbrake and started on the road.

The heavy rain was crackling on the windshield, and the frequency of the wipers had been turned up to the highest, but still could barely see the road ahead.

The surrounding vehicles came and went in a hurry, but the two people in the car were not in a hurry. Zhou Yan drove extremely slowly, carefully observing the rearview mirror and the pedestrians on the left and right. Liang Ruixi inserted the straw into the milk tea, and slowly approached Zhou Yan first. Yan's lips.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, driving on a rainy day, he didn't dare to distract himself from looking at him, subconsciously lowered his head and took a sip.

Liang Ruixi took the milk tea back again, and when she sucked the straw in her mouth, it felt like she was kissing Zhou Yan indirectly...

The space inside the car seemed to be enchanted. The moment they saw each other, the world became quiet and the flow of time began to slow down.

"Are you busy today?" Liang Ruixi took the initiative to find a topic.

"Busy, Yadong is back from a business trip and has taken on several cases. I still have three non-litigation consulting projects in hand, and the law firm is almost short of manpower." Zhou Yan paused, then said, "I'm talking to When Ya Dong mentioned you, he also said that he wanted to find a chance to meet you."

"See me?" Liang Ruixi's heart moved slightly, "Why?"

"Maybe I want to know what the real guy I have liked for many years looks like." Zhou Yan said.

"He knows we..."

"I know." Zhou Yan replied simply.

Liang Ruixi was both a little nervous and a little disappointed when she heard the words.

He still remembered the admiration he felt after watching the video of Ruan Yadong's debate competition back then, and he vaguely regarded the other party as his idol in his heart.Now that the idol wants to meet him, what capacity does he use to meet him?A potential partner for the opposing partner?

He didn't feel proud of such an identity at all. At this moment, he suddenly felt annoyed about the judicial examination that he hadn't passed back then. If he had passed at that time, he would be able to know each other as a lawyer now, right?

Looking at the pouring rain outside the car, Liang Ruixi recalled the meeting with Zhou Yan two years ago.

The weather that day was also the same as today. When he saw Zhou Yan, he felt extremely inferior. Every look the other party looked at him was like a trial for him, making him feel guilty for his compromise with reality.

"Zhou Yan..." Liang Ruixi held the milk tea in his hand and asked unconsciously, "I said I would give up the Sisi Kao, are you really sorry?"

Zhou Yan drove the car seriously, and replied: "I have been in college with you for four years, and you have spent most of the time talking about wanting to be a lawyer in the future. You suddenly said that you will not take the exam, don't you feel regretful?"

"Isn't that... forced by life." Liang Ruixi whispered.

Encountering a traffic light, Zhou Yan stopped the car, looked at him, and said something as if pointing: "It's not urgent now, and it's okay if you want to take the test again." After finishing speaking, Liang Ruixi continued without waiting for a response , "But it's your own decision whether to take the judicial exam or not, and whether to be a lawyer. As your friend, I will not interfere in your life."

Liang Ruixi turned his head, at that moment he really wanted to ask, what if you were my boyfriend?Would you like me to do the same job as you, to help you whenever you need it?

But he didn't ask, and was hit back by the other party's calm eyes.

Zhou Yan was right, this should be his own decision.

It doesn't matter whether it's the judicial examination, or whether you want to be with Zhou Yan.

When we arrived at Shiyang Plaza, it was still raining outside, so even if we went back to take an umbrella, we would be drenched all over, so Zhou Yan took Liang Ruixi to find Jian restaurant on the first floor of the shopping mall for dinner.

Just after ordering, I heard someone calling Zhou Yan's name behind me.

Liang Ruixi turned his head and saw two familiar figures, one was Zhang Hanlin whom he had just met not long ago, and the other was Ruan Yadong, the main character in the video of the debate competition back then.

"Oh, what a coincidence." Ruan Yadong is also a tall and handsome guy, but unlike Liang Ruixi's dazzling type, his facial features are a bit bland, and he still has single eyelids. Full of confidence and high spirits.

"I told Ah Yan that I wanted to see you today, so I'll see you now," he sized up Liang Ruixi, then glanced at Zhou Yan, and jokingly said, "You're really handsome, and you're worthy of being the school girl of your F University."
