fall in love by chance

The four of them bumped into each other and naturally shared a table for dinner. Liang Ruixi and Ruan Yadong sat facing each other.

Looking closely, this person is much more mature than he looks in the video. After all, it has been five or six years since then, but his self-confidence in speech and demeanor has not changed at all, and it may be even worse. It is the years of outstanding experience that have given him of.

Liang Ruixi admired Ruan Yadong very much. From the moment he met her, she couldn't help but behave herself, like a little fan meeting an idol, with a correct attitude and a shy mood.

Ruan Yadong is still looking at him: "Ah Yan said you are skinny, where are you skinny? I don't think you are very obedient."

Zhou Yan explained: "He worships you and pretends to be good with you. When you get to know him well, you will see that he is not honest."

Liang Ruixi kicked Zhou Yan under the table, Zhou Yan moved his lips and stopped talking.

Ruan Yadong watched their interaction with great interest, as if it was very interesting.

After ordering a few cans of beer to add to the fun, Ruan Yadong clinked glasses with Liang Ruixi, and asked him where he worked, what his work was like, and whether he lived with Zhou Yan now.They are all questions with self-explanatory answers, but after such a question and answer, the atmosphere at the dinner table will naturally warm up. After half a glass of wine, several people have chatted, and Ruan Yadong said to Liang Ruixi: "You take What are your plans when you come down?"

One sentence stopped Liang Ruixi from asking, which was exactly what he had been thinking about recently but felt deeply at a loss.

Moreover, what Ruan Yadong asked was not "later", but "next", as if reminding him that this question is imminent.

Ruan Yadong immediately said: "Ah Yan said you wanted to be a lawyer before, do you want to come to us?" As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing an olive branch at Liang Ruixi's face.

"I...I haven't made up my mind yet." Liang Ruixi felt a burning pain on her face.

"Think about it?" Ruan Yadong looked puzzled, "You are with Zhou Yan, wouldn't it be good for husband and wife to fight the world together in the future, why hesitate?"

Liang Ruixi was taken aback by what he said, why is this same-sex relationship so casual in Ruan Yadong's eyes?

He glanced at Zhang Hanlin quietly again, but saw that Xiao Zhang didn't change his face, as if there were already many such people all over the street, but he was rare and strange.

Zhou Yan clarified in time: "We are not together yet."

Ruan Yadong gestured with her chopsticks: "He's already living with you! Isn't it a matter of time?"

Liang Ruixi: "..."

Ruan Yadong said to Liang Ruixi again: "What's the point of working in legal affairs? Isn't it boring for you to do it for three years? Hurry up and come here. Don't think that our Yayan is self-made. If you come, Zhou Yan will definitely give it to you." Your original stock, when the law firm grows bigger in the future, you don’t have to worry about having no money.”

Zhou Yan said again: "He hasn't passed the law test yet."

Ruan Yadong said in a daze, "Then go take the exam. If you take the exam this year, you can be with Hanlin, and you can study the questions together, so you won't be lonely."

"Yadong," Zhou Yan reminded him in a low voice, "not everyone thinks that passing the law test is as easy as doing elementary school math problems like you."

"Oh." Ruan Yadong gave Liang Ruixi a sympathetic look, then glanced at Zhang Hanlin next to him, and mouthed something unclear, "It seems that you are not the only one."

"Brother..." Zhang Hanlin blushed and protested.

"Wrong?" Ruan Yadong pinched him a pig's trotter, but scolded him, "You can't tell the difference between 'may' and 'should', go back and memorize it, and you can't remember which ones." The terms of exemption from punishment, you don't sleep tonight."

Liang Ruixi watched the two of them interact in a low voice, and felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, and the ambiguous atmosphere inside made his skin crawl.

Ruan Yadong looked at Liang Ruixi again, and his tone softened a bit: "If you haven't passed the exam once, it's okay, let Zhou Yan help you, at least I can take care of you."

Liang Ruixi suddenly remembered that the last time he ate spicy hot pot, Zhou Yan mentioned similar things when talking about Zhang Hanlin's boyfriend.

On the one hand, he felt ashamed because of the phrase "relief", and on the other hand he felt surprised. Could it be that Zhang Hanlin's boyfriend is...

Before he could finish digesting the information, Ruan Yadong teased him and said, "If you come to Yayan, Zhou Yan won't have to drive you to and from work every day. Don't you know how precious our lawyer Zhou's time is? He is now quoting an hourly rate. The consultation fee is 4000 yuan, and the [-] yuan per day is gone just to pick you up and go to work."

Two thousand per hour? !Liang Ruixi almost choked. Wouldn't Zhou Yan earn a month's salary that day by working ten hours a day?

"Okay, Ya Dong," Zhou Yan frowned and stopped him: "Don't put pressure on him."

Ruan Yadong was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "You are young, who is not under pressure? Ah Yan, you are too spoiled."

Under Zhou Yan's intervention, they stopped talking about Liang Ruixi's problem, and instead talked about the firm's project. Ruan Yadong and Zhou Yan discussed back and forth, and Zhang Hanlin occasionally participated in a few words, and Liang Ruixi listened. , Gradually feel that I have become an outsider.

After eating a meal for more than half an hour, the four of them said goodbye at the exit of the mall at the end.

Liang Ruixi said politely: "Senior Ruan, Xiao Zhang, see you next time."

"Just call me Yadong from now on," Ruan Yadong winked at him, "I believe we will meet again soon."

The rain outside had stopped, but a lot of water had accumulated on the ground. Zhou Yan helped Liang Ruixi take two steps and said, "I'd better carry you on my back, otherwise, if we walk home like this, both of us will probably be covered in muddy water."

When Liang Ruixi lay on Zhou Yan's back, Zhou Yan said again: "You don't have to take it too seriously if Yadong encourages you at the dinner table."

Liang Ruixi didn't respond, but was a little curious about what he just discovered: "Are Xiao Zhang and Brother Ya Dong a couple?"

"Well," Zhou Yan didn't deny it, and even introduced him generously, "It's not just the two of them, Yayan and three other lawyers are the same, but two of the three are single, and one has a partner outside. "

Liang Ruixi was startled, Zhou Yan and the others are like birds of a feather flock together?How did you manage to have so many of the same kind in one law firm?

Thinking about it felt a bit awkward, Liang Ruixi changed the subject again: "Your consultation fee is really two thousand per hour?"

"Don't listen to him," Zhou Yan clarified again, "I rarely receive this kind of consultation. Lawyers also have a basic need to talk to people. Most simple inquiries are free of charge. Even if you become a lawyer, you can It’s not likely that you will only accept high-cost cases.”

There are relatively few calls, but that doesn't mean there are none, right?

Liang Ruixi stole a glance at Zhou Yan, feeling more respect for him in his heart.

"And he mentioned the matter of taking you to and from work, so don't worry too much. People have to have their own lives in addition to working to make money. Some things don't have substantial benefits, but doing them can make people feel happy , that cannot be bought with money, and naturally cannot be measured by money.”

...What does this mean, that picking him up and going to and from get off work can make Zhou Yan feel happy?

Liang Ruixi smiled and said, "Why do you feel that you have denied everything Brother Yadong said?"

"Not really, there is one thing he said that I agree with..."

"what?"

"Even if you are poor in the future, I will take care of your food so that you won't starve to death."

Liang Ruixi's heart trembled, as if to hide his emotion, he patted the other person's front shoulder: "Don't curse me indiscriminately, I still have 10,000+ savings!"

Zhou Yan laughed muffledly, grabbed his hand, and called his name: "Liang Ruixi."

"Huh?" Liang Ruixi didn't withdraw her hand.

"I know your anxiety," Zhou Yan said in a low voice, "but don't force yourself, just be yourself."

Liang Ruixi was caught off guard by Zhou Yan's words, and his eyes were sour. He hugged Zhou Yan tighter with his other hand: "Brother Yadong is also right..."

"what?"

"I won't tell you." Liang Ruixipi said.

"..."

Zhou Yan had to work overtime that night and was unable to pick him up, so Liang Ruixi took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go there tonight "looking forward to the possibility".

He took a taxi directly to the bar after get off work, and Jiang Sheng was very happy to see him: "Brother Rui, is your leg okay?"

"It still hurts to walk, but it's almost done. If I don't come to business again, I guess the customers will forget me."

"Many customers have asked about you, don't worry, I've told you that you sprained your ankle, girls can understand."

Liang Ruixi looked through the songs with a high number of likes in the backstage comments of the official account. He saw an old song "First Dream" among them. In the end, I couldn't help singing.

When she sang the line "Only when one's true desire is fulfilled can one pass through heaven", Liang Ruixi almost froze, her voice changed.

After singing this song, he stepped off the stage and walked out without looking back.

Jiang Sheng was taken aback, and after adjusting the wine in his hand, he quickly grabbed the bottle and chased outside the door, only to see Liang Ruixi squatting at the back door of the bar where there was no one around, covering his face with his hands.

"What's the matter, Brother Rui?" Jiang Sheng was very anxious, "What happened?"

Liang Ruixi didn't respond, Jiang Sheng squatted beside him, put down the wine bottle, and asked curiously, "Is the work pressure too high? Did someone bully you?" He thought that Xie Wenmu's incident should be over, but he couldn't figure out what Liang Ruixi was doing. Suddenly there is this reaction.

He didn't hear Liang Ruixi's answer, and Jiang Sheng didn't dare to guess and ask, so he took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and started smoking.

Ten minutes later, Liang Ruixi suddenly put down his hand, and slapped Jiang Sheng angrily: "Are you fucking wicked, I'm so tight that I can't breathe, and you still squat in front of me and let me inhale your second-hand smoke!"

Jiang Sheng was beaten with an innocent face, looked at his face, didn't cry, heaved a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "How about you take one too, and hurt each other?"

Liang Ruixi slapped his hand away angrily, picked up the wine bottle he had put on the ground, and poured it vigorously.

"Brother! Whiskey in the [-]s!" Jiang Sheng reminded him.

With the strength of drinking, Liang Ruixi finally asked: "Jiang Sheng, if you say that I am going to take the departmental examination now and change jobs, do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Sheng was at a loss when he heard this: "There's nothing wrong with it, go."

Liang Ruixi: "The judicial examination is very difficult."

Jiang Sheng was surprised and said, "You are the most famous college bully in my heart. Is there anything you can't pass?"

"You don't understand, that's really difficult. I just graduated, and when I thought I was the best, I missed two points after two months of surprise review." Liang Ruixi clutched the bottle, her face full of panic Worried, "But now, I haven't read much for three years, and I have forgotten most of the things..."

Jiang Sheng suggested: "Then spend a little more time reviewing?"

"Where is the time, resign? But what should I do with my income after I resign? The bar has not paid back, although I know that I will return sooner or later according to this momentum, but I am not at ease. When will sooner or later? Do you know?" He After a pause, he raised his voice abruptly, "What if something unexpected happens? Just like my grandpa, my grandpa is gone, but many old people are not like this, they will stay in the hospital for a long time..."

Speaking of his grandfather, Liang Ruixi choked up for a moment, and Jiang Sheng thought he was going to cry the next second, but he never did.

He stared forward with red eyes, his eyes were fierce as if he was competing with someone: "My aunt, my grandmother, and little cousin, three old and weak in my hometown, how much income and savings do they have? That's all I have. I ran away without saying a word to pursue what I wanted to do, and I don’t know if that job can bring me a stable income. What should they do? If I do well, then forget it, but if I can’t do it well? I tried my best but still failed the exam, so what should I do?"

As he spoke, his gaze began to darken: "Maybe in the year of the college entrance examination, I had already spent all my luck. I feel like I am a waste now. I have lived for 26 years and achieved nothing... After drawing conclusions for himself, he lowered his eyes, and said something nonsensical almost in despair, "I can't depend on him for the rest of my life..."
