Chapter 99: Leaping into the Thorn Bush
Dong Haining looked at the cup in his hand and opened the wine with mixed feelings.
Its aroma is relatively closed and restrained, taking time to unravel.
Gradually, you can smell a lot of complex smells, mainly malt aromas.
The palate is full of sweet and stimulating mint flavors, accompanied by layers of cinnamon, cloves, apples, mangoes, biscuits, and oats.
And its best feature is that it has a particularly long aftertaste.
It seems as if a long time has passed, but there is still a strong fruity aroma remaining.
Dong Haining looked down at the robin painted on the bottle again.
The robin is a sinless bird.
Killing a robin means sin.
Because robins can only do one thing, and that is to sing for humanity.
Dong Haining was drunk, and recalled the content of "To Kill a Mockingbird" more and more clearly.
A kind, helpful black guy who helped a white woman was falsely accused. Although lawyer Atticus is also white, he is not bound by racial prejudice, and resolutely decides to help the black boy clear his grievances.
The twists and turns of the plot reveal the darkness of human nature and reveal the brilliance of human nature.
There is a quote in the book: "When you get to know a person deeply, you will find that most people are good people." ”
Unlike the absolutely positive image of a doctor in white, an angel who saves lives, many people will think that lawyers are scheming, ingenious, and even cunning and unprincipled.
After applying for the college entrance examination, Dong Haining couldn't figure out why Shen Xingru chose to study law instead of literature, which she was best at.
But now he had to admit that Shen Xingru, who wanted to work hard to rescue a robin from the thorn bushes, fascinated him even more.
What amazes the world, such as fireworks and meteors, is just a one-time thing that stays in people's memories for a moment.
The same is true of human talent.
What resides in the memory of the world is sincerity and blood passion, the result of perseverance, illuminating the dim road of the world in a world of silence, contradiction and insolvency.
In the fog, Dong Haining felt in a trance that someone else was covering him with a blanket.
He reached for it, but pounced.
There was silence all around, and a chill came through.
He remembered that his coat was still on the sofa in the living room, and he remembered what he really meant.
But he eventually gave up the search and found a room instead, where he went back to sleep.
Early in the morning, Shen Xingru woke up and vaguely heard a voice downstairs.
When she walked to the restaurant, she found Dong Haining sitting at the dining table, reading a book while eating.
On the table are yogurt and muffins, which are also garnished with blueberries and mulberries.
Shen Xingru sat across from him and said, "Where did this come from?"
Dong Haining: "Takeaway, why don't you have anything in the refrigerator?"
Shen Xingru nodded, picked up the knife and fork and began to eat.
Dong Haining: "This book is good, lend me a look?"
Shen Xingru raised his head between chewing.
It was the American scholar Llewellyn's classic collection of lectures, "The Thorn Bush", and there was a line on the cover of the book: "Leap into the thorn bush and step into the door of the law." ”
Shen Xingru: "When did you say that you can change your faults in the study?"
Dong Haining: "I didn't take it this time, didn't I ask for your opinion?"
Shen Xingru: "Don't talk nonsense, give me back the blanket quickly." ”
Dong Haining: "WeChat transfer to you, count me as buying it." ”
Then, Shen Xingru's mobile phone on the table rang a prompt tone.
Shen Xingru ignored it and didn't say until he finished breakfast, "You're not going to work today?"
Dong Haining: "I was on a small night shift last night, so I can go later today." ”
Shen Xingru nodded and said, "I went upstairs to read, you continue to look for it?"
Dong Haining raised the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What are you looking for?" I found it all, it's very beautiful, thank you." ”
Shen Xingru: "Take it back and see, I approved it." ”
Dong Haining: "No, I can read it quickly, and I will definitely be able to read it before I go to work." ”
Shen Xingru got up to leave, and said, "Then you can watch slowly." ”
Dong Haining suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed her.
The white, delicate fingers are as soft as boneless.
"But there are a few things I don't understand. What is the difference between this substantive law and procedural law?"
Shen Xingru broke free of him and slid out of his waters like a fish.
"Aren't you a doctor?
Dong Haining said to Shen Xingru's back, "What do you eat at noon?"
Shen Xingru said as he went upstairs: "Whatever." ”
Dong Haining: "Then I look at it, I can't blame me if I don't like to eat." ”
Shen Xingru entered the study, opened the past papers of the judicial examination and began to brush the questions.
After brushing a few questions, she was uneasy for no reason, so she threw away the real questions and took out the classic tutorial textbook "Four Books" to read.
There is a note box on Shen Xingru's desk.
A boxy black box that can be used as a simple pen holder when closed, with fluorescent markers of different colors, and when opened, there are five different kinds of notes.
The "Four Great Books" are the official tutoring books for the judicial examination, each of which is as thick as two fingers, and almost every page has been labeled by Shen Xingru and marked with a marker.
But Shen Xingru turned a few pages and couldn't read it.
She slammed the book on the table and walked briskly down the stairs.
Dong Haining was still sitting at the dining table, holding the book "Thorn Bush" and reading.
"Why are you still here?" asked Shen Xingru.
Dong Haining put down the book and said slowly: "Didn't you just say that you would have lunch together?"
Shen Xingru: "Who said they were going to have lunch with you? ”
Dong Haining was a little confused, didn't understand the situation, and said, "Didn't you still let me order food?"
Shen Xingru: "You're noisy here for me to review, hurry up, leave now." ”
Dong Haining smiled: "I'm reading quietly here, why did I make a noise to you?"
Shen Xingru stood in front of him angrily, with one hand propped up on the table, the other resting on his waist, and said, "Are you leaving?"
But the more angry she was, the more Dong Haining smiled brightly.
"You've got to let me finish the book, right?"
Shen Xingru: "You take it home and see it." ”
Dong Haining: "Then don't you have to send it back to you?" Aren't you going to see me again?"
Shen Xingru: "I've sent it to you, you don't have to pay it back!"
Dong Haining: "So generous? Thank you." ”
Shen Xingru picked up his coat and left it on him mercilessly, but fortunately he caught it.
Dong Haining was a little crying and laughing, and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, right?"
Shen Xingru pushed him from behind him and walked towards the door.
"Hey?" Before Dong Haining finished speaking, she pushed out the door with her clothes.
"Shen Xingru, are you as for you?"
Shen Xingru closed the door and took a deep breath.
