Chapter 12: Intersection
It was just an answer, but Fang Miao's heart turned a hundred times, and after half a day, he finally calmed down, got up and said with a smile: "Yes, we will always be friends." ”
She said it easily, but the meaning of the words was very deep, like a silent reminder, reminding the other party and reminding yourself that such a relationship must not go further!
Yan Zheng was so smart, he still maintained his advance and retreat, and personally sent Fang Miao downstairs.
"It's over so soon?" Han Junchi looked at the time, surprised.
Fang Miao didn't answer, walked to the middle, and introduced: "This is my law firm partner, Han Junchi." ”
Yan Zheng nodded politely, stretched out his hand towards Han Junchi and reported his name, and Han Junchi shook it back.
The two shook hands and looked at each other with a smile, and there was a kind of hostility hidden under the friendly surface.
"Alright, then I'll go first. Fang Miao pinched the shoulder strap of the bag and calmed down her emotions over and over again.
Yan Zheng made a "hmm" sound, and did not show a trace of unhappiness throughout the whole process, this disguised emotion lasted until Fang Miao and Han Junchi walked away, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa and frowned slightly, his eyes looked at the ground, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Because he suddenly realized that he couldn't treat Fang Miao as an ordinary patient, and Fang Miao was even more unwilling to treat himself as a mental patient, such an embarrassing identity seemed to be deliberately arranged by fate to put them together, and they couldn't stalemate.
On the way back to the law firm, Fang Miao propped her head and looked at the scenery flashing outside the window, but the picture imprinted in her mind lingered.
Han Junchi was on the steering wheel, half of his attention was still paying attention to Fang Miao's expression, if it wasn't an illusion, then after leaving the consultation center, her mood was really wrong, and there was a negative and depressed aura around her.
"I haven't asked you yet, how did you come down so quickly?" Han Junchi looked for a topic, wanting to know more.
Fang Miao didn't evade either, "I didn't say anything." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Yan Zheng and I have known each other before, so it's not suitable to sit and talk together in this way. She rubbed her eyes and sighed.
Han Junchi frowned imperceptibly, and said comforting words in his relaxed and playful tone: "Meng Chaoge told me about your situation, I think she is blindly worried, you have a good rest, control your temper more, it will definitely be fine." ”
After speaking, he deliberately left a free hand and habitually touched the top of Fang Miao's head, and was finally forced back by her white eyes.
Having said that, Fang Miao is still very clear about her condition, but she doesn't dare to admit it, she doesn't dare to treat it, no matter whether she can completely recover after recovering the scar or not, she doesn't want to bear the pain when she uncovers the scar!
It's better to be cowardly, please allow her to be cowardly forever......
On the second day after she officially returned to work in the law firm, Fang Miao took on two new cases, counting the previous ones, a total of three went hand in hand, and the most headache for her was the "Poplar Case".
The situation of being at a loss lasted for a long time, but with the sudden appearance of a person, there was a slight change.
On that day, Fang Miao was in the office, and Meng Chaoge didn't knock on the door, and rushed in in a hurry.
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
"No, you didn't watch the news?" Meng Chaoge was rarely nervous.
Fang Miao patted the pile of documents in front of her with her hand, signaling that she had no time to pay attention to the news.
The situation was urgent, Meng Chaoge didn't go around in circles, went around to her, turned on the computer on the table, typed a few lines with her fingers, and then a bunch of videos popped up on the screen, and she clicked on one of them, titled: The key witness of the Poplar case appeared, and the truth was mysterious.
In the video, Zhou Yan, who has not appeared for a month, appeared without makeup and looked haggard.
"After the Poplar case, you only made an incomplete transcript once, and then refused to interview on the grounds that you were too nervous to remember anything, did you intend to testify in court this time?" the reporter asked.
Zhou Yan's shoulders trembled slightly, and her emotions were unstable, "First of all, I'm sorry, after this incident, my parents must have protected me, so I didn't come forward in time to explain the whole incident, I will cheer myself up as soon as possible and stand in court to testify, in the end I can only say that Baiyang is my boyfriend, and I am also very sad if something happened to him." ”
"Damn!" Meng Chao was angry, "Is she going to insist that Baiyang is the murderer?"
Fang Miao's eyes looked at Zhou Yan's side face fixed on the screen without blinking, and between the lightning and flint, a shot flashed in his mind, and the side face in front of him coincided with the appearance in his memory little by little.
At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and the next second, she left the chair with a "pout", grabbed her mobile phone and ran out quickly.
At the door of the pantry, Han Junchi leaned against the door panel with a disposable paper cup, squinting slightly at the glass door that was thrown back by Fang Miao, and chuckled, still the same as he remembered, recklessly.
Fang Miao ran out of the law firm, took a few steps to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, reported the address of Heal Psychological Counseling Office, and the car started quickly.
There was no traffic jam on the road, the car quickly drove half the way, in the car, Fang Miao couldn't calm down for a long time, her chest became more and more blocked, if her feeling was not wrong, the woman that night was Zhou Yan.
When Fang Miao rushed over, Yan Zheng was still giving psychological counseling to a patient, so she could only wait patiently, she should have waited for a long time, and when she saw someone, she noticed that it was already noon.
When Yan Zheng came down from upstairs, the little assistant was whispering something in his ear, and he saw that his face changed, as if he was unhappy.
Fang Miao's heart tightened, she was afraid that the question would be inappropriate, but she couldn't drag it out any longer, there was less than a month before the first trial, she had to hurry up.
"Dr. Yan, do you have time now? I have something I want to ask you. She took the initiative to step forward and spoke under tremendous psychological pressure.
The assistant left, only the two of them were left on the first floor, Yan Zheng's face was a little solemn, this was also an expression that he had never had before, coupled with the fact that it was so obvious, even if it was just a faint emotion, it made Fang Miao's heart gradually panic......
"I'm sorry, if you're in a hurry to have lunch, I can wait a little longer, I just hope you can leave a little time to answer my questions. "After all, I was too abrupt.
At this time, Yan Zheng looked away from her, sat straight on the sofa, reached out and poured two glasses of water, "Sit down and talk." ”
That's it, Fang Miao's non-stop brain malfunctioned, and although he couldn't figure it out, he still sat down opposite him.
"Seeing that your lips are dry, drink water first. He pushed a cup in front of her, his tone tepid.
Fang Miao subconsciously pursed her lips, as he said, it was a little dry, and there were still a little cracks.
She took the water cup and drank it until the cup bottomed out before putting it down, and glanced at the person opposite a few times, as if her face was not so ugly compared to when she came down just now, this change made Fang Miao feel a little better.
"What's the matter, you can ask now. ”
"Do you have any impression of the name Zhou Yan?" Fang Miao asked cautiously, for fear that the answer was not what he wanted.
"She came to me for counselling and has been in touch with me ever since. ”
Yan Zheng replied without any hesitation, making Fang Miao breathe a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied, "Then in the process of psychological counseling, did she mention anything?" ”
No matter what the doctor is, he has a duty to keep his patients confidential, and she knows that.
Yan Zheng looked at her intently, and after a few words, he was already full of thoughts, and after Fang Miao said sorry, the two were silent in unison, and finally he took the initiative to speak.
"You can tell me what you know about Zhou Yan, maybe I can consider it. ”
Fang Miao was taken aback and looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say this.
Yan Zheng symbolically tugged at his lips and made a deferential appearance.
"Do you remember the case I mentioned to you that time?" Fang Miao took out her mobile phone and asked as she looked for today's interview video from above.
Yan Zheng recalled it and said that he still remembered.
"Then look at this again. She moved with her phone and sat down next to him.
Fang Miao had a faint scent of lavender on his body, the window of the living room was open again, the breeze blew in, and the fragrance was mixed in the wind, this seemingly non-existent fragrance rushed into Yan Zheng's snort, making him in a trance for a moment.
He turned his head sideways, just in time to see that her long hair was hanging down to cover half of the side of her face, and at that second, a word flashed in Yan Zheng's mind - half-beauty.
"The person on this video is the Zhou Yan you know, right?" Fang Miao pointed to the screen and made sure again, avoiding making trouble, but he didn't notice the gradually hot gaze of the person next to him.
Yan Zheng's heart was already disturbed by the fragrance and turned into a mess of twine, and he barely withdrew his thoughts when he heard her question, and the "um" sound was not salty or light.
"This Zhou Yan is the witness I told you that refused to appear in court, since she is your patient, these should be mentioned more or less, right?" Fang Miao thought about it, Yan Zheng knew more about Zhou Yan than her.
After asking, she turned her head sideways, just met Yan Zheng's complicated eyes, and after only a few seconds of looking at each other, Fang Miao's heart beat faster, her scalp was numb, and she finally fled, threw down her mobile phone and sat back in her place.
"You...... See for yourself. With the rapid rise in adrenaline, Fang Miao clearly felt that her head was congested, and her blush spread all the way to the back of her ears.
Yan Zheng's eyes kept following her, and after noticing these changes, the corners of his lips moved, as if he wanted to laugh.
Fang Miao poured a glass of water to herself, wanting to drink the water but still couldn't hold it back, but became more and more embarrassed.
"When she came to me for counseling, she just said that she felt guilty and scared, and wanted to soothe her knots, but she refused to reveal her inner world, so I really don't know about the case you said. Yan Zheng handed her back the phone, a serious way.
This result always made Fang Miao a little unhappy, thinking that it was a turning point that appeared in the sky, but in the end it was still empty and happy.
"That'...... You should know her home address, can you give it to me, I will go to her myself and promise that you will never be involved again. Fang Miao grasped the last glimmer of hope, thinking of the scene that night, thinking that he should always know the address.
After she asked, Yan Zheng only showed a short unnaturalness, and finally wrote down Zhou Yan's address by hand.
Fang Miao took the small sticker with the address written on it and looked left and right, and couldn't stop thanking him.
Such a bright smile, like the first glow after the rain, swept away all the gloom, and it was also the first time Yan Zheng saw her smile like this, so it was even more precious.
Especially this smile made him suddenly realize that this girl who looked ordinary at the first glance loved the job of a lawyer so much, and this enthusiasm made people want to protect it.
