At the end of November, although the weather was not bone-chilling, when Li Xin left the airport, he still subconsciously gathered the windbreaker jacket on his body and stretched his neck to look around.

A white sports car approached her, and she squinted to make sure the license plate number and pressed the trunk lever down.

The assistants who accompanied Li Xin on a business trip before returned to City A a day earlier than her, and when Li Xin stepped into the law firm alone, she felt the changes before and after.

When I left two months ago, the atmosphere at Huihe was still relatively lively, and today not only the two partners have left temporarily, but many paralegals have resigned because they can't stand the hard work.

Maybe it was because it was gloomy on this day, which caused a lot of emotions for a while, Li Xin said hello to the people in the law firm and left.

During the business trip, the two elders of the Li family called many times to ask about the marriage, after all, they thought it was on the agenda, but it calmed down in a blink of an eye.

didn't want to listen to the mantra, so Li Xin went back to his residence, made up for sleep, woke up and ordered takeout, and the whole person had nothing to do.

Just as she was halfway through the news about the rule of law, she received a phone call.

"Sister Xin, I heard from them that you are back, find time to get together?" Fang Miao was overjoyed.

Li Xin smiled: "It's rare that your full-time wife still has time to get together with me, and the one in your family won't have an opinion?"

"He'......"

I only heard Fang Miao's long tail sound, and then there was no movement in Li Xin's ears for a few seconds, there seemed to be a girl's exclamation, and after a man's shallow laughter disappeared, Fang Miao's angry voice came: "I'm a lawyer, he can't listen to me!"

"Yes, yes, listen to you. Li Xin raised his eyebrows to deal with it, trying his best to control the crazy rising corners of his mouth: "It's been a month since you two got married, have you put the child's affairs at the top of the plan?"

Fang Miao cleared her throat and said in a solemn voice: "Comrade Li Xin, dare to ask you, an older single young woman, has the matter of getting off the single has been settled?"

"Why did it get on me, hang up, hang up......"

"Wait!"

Li Xin put the phone back to his ear again: "What's wrong again?"

"That...... It's Han Junchi, he called yesterday and asked when you would come back. ”

“……”

"He's changed a lot, can you think about it?"

——

The next day, Li Xin exercised every morning, sweated when he came back, took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and then went back to the Li family's old house.

She stepped on the point to enter the house, and when she entered the living room, she bumped into Li's mother.

"Mom, you...... Didn't you go to work?" Li Xin stiffly pulled the corners of his mouth.

"If I go to work, can I still catch you here?"

Li Xin was embarrassed, pushed his mother to sit on the sofa, poured water and beat his legs, and kept saying good things to find a reason why he couldn't go home.

Mama Li held her hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"You insisted on being a lawyer after graduation, and your parents promised you that when you were 27 years old, you said that you didn't want to fall in love for the time being, and we didn't force you, but now, you're in your thirties, what does it mean to be a girl at this age, don't you understand?"

Li Xin lowered his head and rubbed his knuckles, not knowing what to reply.

Mama Li sighed, sat down beside her, and held her daughter's hand on her knee.

"Mom understands your thoughts, and you should also be considerate of our parents' hearts. ”

"But mom......" Li Xin turned his head and spoke, and before he finished speaking, he lost his confidence.

"Mom knows what you're going to say, our Li family is not a small family, but Mom, I don't have to let you marry a rich son like Han Junchi, who is the right person with us, as long as you are innocent and treat you well, your father and I can accept it. ”

Li Xin withdrew his hand and buried his head in the palm of his hand: "It's either that I don't want to get married, or I don't have a suitable person." ”

Even those who used to like it, gradually feel that they are people from two worlds.

Li's mother was distressed, took her daughter into her arms, and said while caressing her back: "I have discussed with your father for a long time, and I feel that I can't let you go on like this anymore, the day after tomorrow ......"

"I promise. ”

"What?" Mama Li couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Xin got up from his mother's arms and said with a smile: "I promised to go on a blind date, you can arrange it." ”

I made preparations for a new start early in the morning, but I couldn't make up my mind for a long time, in this case, I should take the opportunity to quickly cut through the mess and deal with the relationship that ended without a problem.

On a blind date two days later, Li Xin cooperated like never before, put on exquisite makeup before going out, and waited at the agreed place in advance.

The man was very punctual, Li Xin had only arrived for a few minutes, and the other party came, and after exchanging names, it was officially entered the blind date.

The two are of the same age, and they are both lawyers, so there will be no generation gap in the topic. Especially the man is not only good-looking, but also funny, and will not let the atmosphere cool down.

"Actually, you're still my senior sister. Speaking of this, Lin Shen's eyes were full of admiration.

"But you're a year older than me. ”

Lin Shen scratched his neck embarrassedly: "If the college entrance examination score did not reach the ideal University of Political Science and Law, I repeated my studies for a year." ”

Li Xin nodded: "It is really important to go to an ideal university, like many young people in our institute regret not working hard to go to a better school." ”

"Hey, don't look at me as good as I do in this business now, you must know that I almost didn't even get a license at that time. ”

"How come?" Li Xin was unexpectedly interested again.

Seeing that she was interested, Lin Shen explained: "I have been doing everything later than others since I was a child, my memory is average, and my ability to think flexibly cannot be mentioned.

Li Xin laughed, smiled and smiled, and his thoughts drifted far away......

On that hot summer day, the sun poured into the classroom through the shade of the trees, and the boy put his book on his face and fell asleep, until the table top was knocked hard, and he jumped to his feet, and when he saw the girl standing in front of him, he sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Sister, this is a physical education class, you are not in the playground, what are you doing running the classroom?"

The girl moved a stool and sat across from him, flipped through the pages of the book and said, "You are the worst in our group in this exam, in other words, you are dragging your feet, so I specially came to tell you about these error-prone test points, why am I not tired of you impatient?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" the boy folded his hands and bowed to her twice, "but I still don't think it's necessary, I've always been half a beat slower than others, and I'll catch up sooner or later." ”

"Hehe, it's that you are always more perceptive than others in early love. The girl glanced at him and urged: "Stop talking nonsense, don't take out the roll yet!"

The boy hung his head and rummaged through it......

Lin Shen on the other side called Li Xin several times, and when he saw that she had not responded, he had the courage to reach out and shake her hand.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted. ”

"It doesn't matter. I just wanted to ask you, do you have time to go to the movies together in the evening?"

He asked directly, Li Xin was surprised, and after a little thought, he nodded and agreed.

After all, this blind date made her less resistant, and she had plans to get married in her heart, so she naturally had to get along more calmly.

——

Han Junchi's work in the United States has just passed the initial "difficult childbirth", and the other lawyers in the firm who followed up on the case are all relieved and meet up for a drink in the evening.

"Aren't you going with Lawyer Han?" asked a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, speaking Mandarin that he was not very fluent in.

Han Junchi waved his hand: "No, I've been too tired lately, so I'll sleep early today." ”

After the others left, he clicked on WeChat and stared at the information sent by Fang Miao for a while, and his thumb slid to another contact page, and the finger that was going down to this point hesitated for a few seconds before giving up.

Han Junchi put down his mobile phone, rubbed the corner of his forehead and took the desk calendar to count the days, and saw that it was Christmas......

In the next two weeks of getting along, there was no definite progress in the relationship between Li Xin and Lin Shen, but it happened that the law firm where the two worked was in the same business building, as long as they were not busy, they could eat together.

Busy days often pass unconsciously, Li Xin's latest case has made basic preparations before the trial, and the year is coming to an end while waiting for the trial.

The temperature in City A is getting lower day by day, and in previous years, there were only a handful of days of snow after the beginning of winter, but this year, although the first snow came late, it accumulated deep enough to cover the upper of the shoes.

It happened to be a Saturday, and Li Xin, who had said that he was going to go on a date, temporarily changed his mind and stayed at home on this day. After lunch, just answered the phone, and the person hurried away again.

It turned out that Li Xin rented a small apartment in City A, which was not very space, and it was not used to live in people, just to place some sundries.

Because I haven't taken care of the house for too long, this time the wet tide weather for several days has caused the house to be damp and leaky, although it is not a big deal, but there are a few valuables inside, if it is wet, it is really heart-wrenching.

The switch of the corridor light was broken, Li Xin had to turn on the flashlight, she was still looking for the key in her bag, and she heard the sound of lifting heavy objects in the dark in front of her......

When Han Junchi brought out the last box of things, then took off his blazer casually, and sat down on it, the person began to gasp for breath.

After a moment's breath, he took out his phone, and when the screen was unlocked, a subtle shadow loomed on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Before he could look up, Li Xin asked first.

Han Junchi was stunned, and after a while, he stood up slightly embarrassed and faced her: "Isn't this Christmas soon, come back and take a look while you are on holiday." ”

Li Xin was silent, staring at him with a pair of eyes.

"Okay. Didn't I have the key to this house, I wanted to come in and take a look and return it to you, didn't I just catch up? He reluctantly explained.

Li Xin's face was a little strange, "Hand over the key and you can go, I'll find someone to move these." With that, she held out her hand, with clear intentions.

In the dark, Han Junchi pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, took out the key from his pocket, and handed it to her.

——

The moving company was very fast, and it took less than an hour to load and transport everything away, Li Xin drove in front to lead the way, and when she arrived at the door, she noticed that there was a white Land Rover that had been following behind, and she just didn't see it.

The snow stopped all afternoon, but it started to fall again at nightfall.

Li Xin opened the curtain a small slit and saw the car downstairs with its headlights on.

The faint street lamps and car lamps converged in one place, covered in the snow, reflecting a piece of silver, and Han Junchi stood still in front of the car with a thin layer of snow, looking up at the upstairs.

In an instant, Li Xin quickly turned sideways and hid behind the curtain with his eyes closed: "He will naturally leave in a while!"

Time passed minute by minute, but the sound of the car starting for a long time came......

Li Xin wrapped a windbreaker and went downstairs, walked all the way to the front of the car, and when he saw Han Junchi's expression of pulling the corners of his lips and wanting to speak, he took the first step and said: "Is there anything else?"

"I want to talk to you. Han Junchi didn't think much about it, and only after a few seconds did he realize that he was a little abrupt, and added: "Is it okay?"

The snow fell on his eyelashes, Li Xin squinted his eyes, looked at him from top to bottom, and finally relented.

"Go up and talk about it. ”

The room was warm, and Han Junchi felt that his limbs that were about to be frozen were "alive" again when he entered the door.

"I'll change my slippers and come over for dinner. Li Xin commanded in the kitchen.

Han Junchi said "oh", and quickly cleaned up and sat down at the dining table. On the table is a bowl of hot hand-rolled noodles, covered with an egg, two hams, and added lo-mei, which is very flavorful.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good after a while. ”

"Thank you. ”

Xu was extremely hungry, Han Junchi grabbed his chopsticks and ate two large bites in a row, and the sound of "sucking and sucking" made Li Xin frown awkwardly.

"Do you remember? When I was in middle school, the noodle restaurant next to the school tasted like this. Halfway through eating, he suddenly mentioned this.

Li Xin glanced at him and saw that he was a little depressed, so he responded with a "hmm" sound.

"That time I had a terrible stomach ache, so you skipped class to buy me a bowl of noodles, and then I heard the boss say that a strange girl came that day, and she had to buy the bowl with no matter how much money she paid. ”

Han Junchi said in a low voice, with a sense of temptation.

The atmosphere was delicate for a while, and Li Xin got up from the opposite side, "You eat slowly, I'll call the client." ”

There was only one person left in the living room, and Han Junchi picked the noodles that were still stained with soup, and stuffed them into his mouth with a wry smile.

After eating noodles and washing the dishes, Han Junchi knocked on the door embarrassed......ly: "Are you okay?"

When the words fell, the door opened, Li Xin came out of it and walked straight to the sofa, "It's not early, if it's not a very important thing, don't ......"

The voice was interrupted, and for a long time, the living room was so quiet that only the sound of the two of them breathing alternately remained.

Li Xin was hugged by the person behind him, and when his back was attached to the temperature, somehow, his heart trembled.

"I apologize to you for what happened before. ”

His rare sadness and loss were revealed very clearly at this moment.

Li Xin took a deep breath and didn't break free immediately, but asked, "That's why you're here tonight?"

"All the questions you asked me that day, I want to tell you today, are none of them. I saw the note in the book, but why don't you want to say the sentence you wrote down 'I won't like Han Junchi again this year......' under your questioning? Once spoken, there is no room for manoeuvre. ”

"When you were with Zhao Ran before, I only thought you were inappropriate, so I did a lot of childish things. He replied differently, and said frankly: "I deliberately showered and got sick on a rainy day, successfully disrupted your date, and finally broke up." ”

When he mentioned this, Li Xin laughed instead of being angry, and thousands of emotions surged in his eyes.

"When I came back, I heard that you have a suitor again, but this time my heart is not so complicated, I think I should see my heart clearly. Han Junchi put down his arm and came to her, with a rare face: "I don't know how it feels to love someone, I only know that I have never joked about you, even when I had thoughts about Fang Miao before, I don't think of you so much now." ”

This was the first time he had been honest, and the warmth in Li Xin's chest had long been out of balance, and his lips were still pursed.

Outside the window, the wind swept up the remaining snow on the surface of the ground, hitting the glass and obscuring the scene inside.

After a long time, the wind dissipated, the snow subsided, and the whole world was covered in silver, and under the contrast of a silvery white snow, it seemed that time was peaceful and quiet.

Inside the house, Han Junchi leaned closer, Li Xin watched him stretch his eyebrows, the corners of his lips seemed to move a few times, and in that flashing moment, half of his ears were red.

"Good night!"

Soon, he straightened up and smiled, as if he had been given his wish.

Tonight's words have exhausted all the courage of his life, and that's it.

The door closed at some point, blocking out all sounds......

It seems that he has been away for a long time, and Li Xin's heart has found its rhythm in the constant impact, her eyes flashed, and there was an impulse that still broke out of the cocoon.

Downstairs, Han Junchi turned around several times, and finally polished all his courage, and he slowly stretched out his hand to pull the car door.

"Han Junchi!"

The voice came from the bottom of his heart after countless drills, but it seemed to be close behind him, and Han Junchi almost instinctively withdrew his hand and turned around.

There was no one in sight, and at the same time, someone hit him hard in the chest, and he lowered his eyebrows, and when he saw the person buried in his arms, he couldn't realize the smile in his eyes.

Feeling that he was being held tightly in his arms, Li Xin closed his eyes lightly and said softly: "I love you too." ”

This was her response, and for the rest of her life, the years were quiet.
