Chapter 57: It's nothing, I just want to hug you
"I'm really sorry to let you come to the parking lot to meet me today, but for me, this matter can't guarantee privacy in a café, so I can only wronged you. ”
Xue Rin opened the co-pilot's door and respectfully asked the "partner" in Qu Wanyi's mouth to get into the car.
In fact, when Xue Rin saw him for the first time, he immediately understood why his aunt, who was half angry with his father and still went her own way, suddenly changed her sex.
Although the man in front of him is middle-aged, he has maintained a good figure, the straight waist lining the well-cut suit is particularly elegant, the tie of the best materials, the finely made silver cufflinks and the watch worn on the wrist all show his good taste, especially the pair of leather shoes, Xue Rin only needs to determine at a glance which Italian handmade leather shoe workshop is the best work.
"You're welcome, you can call me Liang Wei, or Jeffrey, believe me, as a lawyer who has been fighting criminal cases for almost twenty years, there are more strange places I have experienced than in the car. Liang Wei smiled heartily.
"Did you grow up abroad? As soon as you opened your mouth, I felt that you were not a native Chinese. According to Xue Rin's experience, Liang Wei's style and accent are very similar to those of Chinese who have lived abroad for many years.
"You're really right, I was born in Alley, but I went to England with my parents when I was five years old, and I thought I would never have the opportunity to come back again in this life, until I met your aunt, Ms. Qu Wanyi. Liang Wei said as he took off his coat and laid it flat on his lap.
"Actually, I've always wondered about my aunt, how can she be accepted by you after so many years?"
"Actually, before I met her, I was also an unmarried, and a staunch unmarried, do you know how staggering the proportion of husband and wife killing each other in vicious murder cases? So I didn't believe in love at all, but later, I met Wanyi, and at first I always mistook her for Lesbian, so when I found out that I was in love with her, I was going crazy, but fortunately, she gave me a clear indication in time, and we got married not long after we fell in love. ”
"What a great love it must be to let the two of you unmarried people fall together!" Xue Rin teased with a smile.
"No matter how pretentious a person is, he has to bend his waist when he is in love, I thought at that time, death is death, let it go! Marrying her home is the first priority!" Liang Wei said and opened the briefcase and handed a paper bag to Xue Rin.
"It seems that this is also for love, right?" Liang Wei, as a person who came over, had already guessed a few points when he heard Qu Wanyi talk about this.
Xue Rin took the document bag, and his relaxed mood just now instantly covered with a layer of haze, he stared at the bag for a long time, and suddenly found that he had become extremely hesitant and frightened at this time.
"Let's see, what are your plans, just tell me, we still have a legal way to deal with it. Liang Wei saw that Xue Rin hadn't opened the bag for a long time, so he encouraged him to face it.
Xue Rin's throat couldn't help but tremble, he carefully opened the seal of the bag, pulled out the stacks of files, and quickly swept his eyes over the shocking case records, eager to know what Yao Zhixia had suffered, and for fear of seeing words that he couldn't bear.
Yao Zhixia, a native of City B, his father died early, his mother died of illness, 18 years old, working in a garment factory in City B, on the day of the crime, he was found to have hit the victim Director Li on the head with a tool, causing his death, although the suspect confessed that the victim had threatened to beat her and attempted to rape, but because there were no witnesses and surveillance video, in the end, because the suspect had no motive to kill, only the accidental negligence after the two had a verbal altercation, the suspect Yao Zhixia was sentenced to five years in prison.
When he saw Yao Zhixia kill the demon, Xue Rin's heart fell for a long time, and he secretly rejoiced that Yao Zhixia was already a brave girl at that time, not only did he not let the demon succeed, but also killed the other party directly, thinking of this, the corner of Xue Rin's mouth showed a smile of approval.
"Worthy of my woman. ”
"I've read this file, and the typical lack of evidence and the victory of the lawyer, I guess the judge has no less to deal with, and the smaller the place, the more rampant this kind of thing is. Liang Wei said disdainfully.
Xue Rin flipped back to another document, which contained the information of Director Li's wife, which he had not explained before, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"It's ......"
"I additionally asked a friend to check for me, this Director Li's widow has a lot of connections in the local area, after her husband died, she quickly remarried, and the family opened entertainment places such as bathing KTV, this kind of place to hide dirt and dirt, check one by one, if you need it, I can arrange to deal with it. ”
Liang Wei's tone at this moment was not at all like the romantic man who chatted with Xue Rin about his love history before, but there was a little more confidence and seriousness in his tone.
Xue Rin pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head to look at Liang Wei again, there was more ruthlessness in his eyes.
"As good law-abiding citizens, we should always do our best to contribute to society, don't you say, Jeffery?"
"You kid! Wanyi is right, everything is good, just love to hold grudges!" Liang Wei relaxed his arms and leaned behind his head, laughing and teasing.
Xue Rin put the file in his hand back into the paper bag in turn, then threw it in the back seat, turned the key, and turned on the headlights.
"Since you dare to provoke her, don't blame me for holding a grudge. After speaking, Xue Rin stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel in a dashing manner, and drove out of the parking lot.
----
At this time, on the other side of the city, Yao Zhixia was standing awkwardly at the entrance, carrying the luggage that had been packed for Yuen Long in advance, waiting for Yuen Long to do the final inspection in the bedroom on the second floor.
Qi Hang stood beside her calmly, and in the short exchange just now, she asked Xue Rin about her current situation quite measuredly, and unexpectedly learned that Xue Rin's so-called job search before was actually secretly going to work under Yue Qun, which made Qi Hang a little unexpected.
However, although she knew this secret, she didn't plan to tell Xue Huaiyuan, since Xue Rin went to her own company to apply for a job without telling her family, it must have her own reason, the child has grown up, Qi Hang, who is a stepmother, doesn't want to interfere too much, seeing Yao Zhixia's expression when she said this, Qi Hang also responded to her with the same calm attitude.
As for Yao Zhixia, she already had a good impression of this girl, after a short meeting and exchange tonight, she had a little more good impression of this girl who was neither humble nor arrogant and polite, Qi Hang only hoped that Xue Rin, who had been wandering alone for so many years, would no longer be lonely and no longer have nowhere to go, if the girl in front of her could give him happiness, she would not say a word.
"Yuen Long, is there anything left behind? Hurry up and go downstairs! Your aunt has been waiting for you for a long time!" Yao Zhixia was afraid that Qi Hang on the side would be impatient, so he carefully urged Yuen Long.
"I'm down. In the next second, Yuen Long's figure appeared on the stairs, he drooped his head and replied to Yao Zhixia with a lonely expression.
When Yuen Long walked up to Yao Zhixia, she bent down, looked into Yuen Long's eyes intently, and said gently: "Yuen Long, Sister Zhixia is really honored to know you, although you don't talk much, but my sister knows that we Yuen Long is actually a smart and kind child, I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future." ”
Yuen Long's big round eyes stared intently at Yao Zhixia, his long eyelashes flickered, and suddenly, he frowned and opened his eyes, and bit his lip awkwardly, and his two small hands tightly held the Tyrannosaurus Rex that Yao Zhixia bought for him when he was playing in the amusement park a few days ago.
"Yao Zhixia. ”
"Huh?"
"If that guy Xue Rin treats you badly in the future, don't be sad, when I grow up, I'll marry you. ”
After Yuen Long finished saying word by word, he turned and walked out the door, and climbed into Lao Yu's car as if with some indescribable tragedy.
Yao Zhixia squatted in shock, unable to believe that the little boy who was both repulsive and indifferent to her when they first met gave her such a gratifying and strange promise when they parted.
Qi Hang looked at Yuen Long in the car, turned around again, and stared down at Yao Zhixia, who was squatting on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face.
----
When Xue Rin entered the house, Yao Zhixia was standing in front of the stove to prepare some side dishes and fruits that could be eaten while watching a movie.
Looking at Yao Zhixia's busy back, Xue Rin stood in place unconsciously, for fear that the beautiful scenery in front of him would be ruined by a hint of sound.
He suddenly found that he was more and more greedy for the time he spent with her, even if it was just eating, even if it was just talking, even if it was just watching her do a mundane thing, he was begging for time to slow down, to slow down, to slow down again, he hoped that the next good night would come sooner, and greedily hoped that every good night would never daylight.
"Yao Zhixia!"
Yao Zhixia was startled by the sudden shout, she turned around, but was wrapped in a warm chest.
The familiar smell surged into her nose, it was him, and she was reassured.
Xue Rin...... What's wrong?"
The sound of unordered breathing boiled in her ears, and Xue Rin's chest rose and fell in front of her.
"Nothing, just want to hug you. Xue Rin closed his eyes, at this moment, he wanted to give the whole world away.
----
A gap appeared between the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and Xue Rin raised his head and looked out the window along the gap.
The blue-black night sky hung with a bright moon that bent into the sky, and the birds that had been chirping on the plane tree during the day also fell asleep at this time.
Xue Rin stared at the old tree intently, and a leaf suddenly fell to the ground, pulling his distant thoughts back.
The living room was dim, Xue Rin turned her head and looked at Yao Zhixia beside her, she stared intently at the movie being shown on the wall opposite the sofa, blue light flashed and shrouded her whole body.
Xue Rin suddenly felt that the woman in front of him who was obsessed was not like the Yao Zhixia in his memory, and the emotions that she had been trying to hide on weekdays seemed to be covered with a magnifying glass, and there was nowhere to hide at this moment.
In the movie, the director who worked hard in a foreign land for many years and finally became famous, sat in the screening room, looking at the film images left to him by his old friend who was like a friend and father when he was young, and he burst into tears in his memories.
Xue Rin still remembers that the first time he watched this movie was on a rainy day when he first arrived in the UK, and even after watching it many times later, he still couldn't resist the strong empathy and couldn't suppress the tears countless times.
At that time, he doubted and struggled countless times, whether all kinds of regrets in life are the true meaning of life, and whether those times that once shone but passed forever have the power to be sealed forever?
At that time, he never thought that in the years that followed, there would be a woman who made him want to make up for all her regrets and seal all her painful memories.
The scenes of lovers hugging and kissing in the picture shone in the darkness, but Xue Rin stared at Yao Zhixia, refusing to take her eyes off for a long time, her brows frowned slightly, wisps of tears slid across her cheeks and hung on the edge of her chin, her eyes flashed with infinite yearning and excitement.
Xue Rin stretched out his hand and wiped away her tears with his fingers, Yao Zhixia slowly turned his head, the corners of his mouth hooked up a bitter smile, and the next second he was taken into Xue Rin's arms.
Xue Rin caressed Yao Zhixia's shoulder with one hand, pressed her head on his shoulder without saying a word with the other, he grabbed one of her hands and played with her palm wantonly, as if he wanted to explore every texture in that palm.
Touching the cocoon in her palm, Xue Rin's hand couldn't help but pause, and after a moment, he opened his five fingers and forcefully intersected with Yao Zhixia's.
The closing credits are intertwined with throbbing music, slowly flowing in front of Yao Zhixia's eyes and heart, and she closes her eyes and enjoys the screen flickering and beating in the dark.
The warm back, the hot earlobes, and the sound of steady breathing in the ears accompanied the ups and downs of the chest and abdomen, rolling and rolling in Yao Zhixia's consciousness.
"Yao Zhixia, why are you so unproductive, and you shed tears again. Xue Rin tried to restrain herself.
Yao Zhixia opened her eyes and blinked her wet eyelashes.
"How can I not cry like this. ”
A childlike clear and innocent smile appeared on Xue Rin's face, and his hand dishonestly fiddled with Yao Zhixia's fingers, "Isn't it just watching a movie, which also moves you?"
"Xue Rin, there is one thing that you may not believe when you say it, except for the school organization to go to the movies when I was in school, I have never been to the cinema. Yao Zhixia said and straightened up from Xue Rin's arms.
"How come?" Xue Rin looked at Yao Zhixia in surprise.
"A movie ticket can be exchanged for a week's worth of groceries, so ......" Yao Zhixia was silent halfway through his words.
"Yao Zhixia. ”
"Huh?" Yao Zhixia looked up at him.
"From now on, we'll watch a movie at home every weekend. ”
Yao Zhixia looked at Xue Rin's eyes, which seemed to be soaked with milk and honey, gently wrapping her body and mind in them, knowing that it was impossible, but she felt that her entire heart was melted by those burning eyes.
Seeing that Yao Zhixia was silent, Xue Rin pressed her back into his arms and urged childishly, "Okay?"
Yao Zhixia nodded, after a long time, he opened his mouth: "Xue Rin, thank you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yao Zhixia's arms were held hard, and Xue Rin condescendingly pressed him on the sofa.
She looked at Xue Rin in surprise, "You ......"
The second half of her sentence was drowned in Xue Rin's unprepared kiss, she looked at the ceiling in panic, and her hands clenched unconsciously.
"Close your eyes. ”
Xue Rin's voice seemed to make Yao Zhixia go into a trance like magic, and the next second, he had lost his patience and put a hand on her eyes.
Her hand was suddenly grasped, and then it was carried all the way to his sturdy back, and suddenly, the hand was released, and the helpless Yao Zhixia had no choice but to open her five fingers on Xue Rin's back as if grasping a life-saving straw.
The screen freezes to the last frame, and the flickering blue light is extinguished in an instant, and the surroundings are immediately plunged into darkness.
Yao Zhixia closed her eyes tightly, sensitively feeling everything around her, and her body was surrounded by the unique smell of Xue Rin's body, which was like the forest after the rain, revealing the damp vitality.
But in the next second, the arm he was about to exert his strength was suddenly held down by a small hand, Xue Rin opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately stopped all movements.
Feeling Yao Zhixia's stiffness, Xue Rin hurriedly grabbed the trembling little hand with his backhand, and poured his whole body on Yao Zhixia's side, his arm passed through her stiff neck, hugging her in his arms, trying to calm his breathing.
Yao Zhixia didn't speak, but tears welled up in her eyes again.
Feeling the wetness on her chest, Xue Rin immediately let go of her arm, and the moonlight shone on her cheeks through the gap between the curtains.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. ”
Xue Rin lowered her head and pressed her cheek against Yao Zhixia's face, guiltily stroking her messy and loose hair.
"It's not you, it's me, it's my problem, I can't help but recall those pictures, that person, the picture that wants to violate me, I, I'm afraid, I'm so scared......" Yao Zhixia curled her legs together, and her body trembled involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over, you have me now, with me by your side, no one wants to move a finger of you!" Xue Rin gritted his teeth and spit out the last sentence, and the anger in his heart instantly ignited.
"Xue Rin, I'm sorry, I can't ......"
"Don't say I'm sorry again! I hurt you by not thinking about it, don't be afraid, we still have a lifetime to go, can you take your time? Xue Rin blamed himself and hugged the person in his arms tighter.
"I believe in you. ”
Yao Zhixia turned sideways, snuggled tightly into Xue Rin's arms, her head gently pressed against his solid and broad chest, and gradually closed her eyes in Xue Rin's warm breath.
