Chapter 375: Master
Investigation is investigation, and now, Lu Xiaoxiao thinks that she has to remind Xiao Lingzi, lest she be carried away by the long-awaited love.
"A creature like a man is very good at making inches, you can't accommodate him in everything, and repeated concessions will only make you more and more humble."
Lu Xiaoxiao's rare serious expression made Ling Li stunned, but in the next second, she saw that the hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to five o'clock, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, she quickly took the backpack that had already been packed, and hurriedly said: "I'll leave first after work." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao behind her sighed.
I was trying to knock and knock her, so that she didn't patronize and ignore her work, but someone with hormones slipped away as soon as it was time to get off work.
As soon as Ling Li walked out of the office door, she was stopped by a black figure.
"Ling Li," Zhu Jinchuan said in a deep voice with an expressionless face, "Come to my office, there is a new case." ”
Ling Li looked at the time, then looked at Zhu Jinchuan, who was walking in front of him, and bit his lip, a little embarrassed.
After more than ten seconds, she honestly put down her bag, grabbed her notebook, and entered his office.
After taking over the new work and putting the file, it was already more than half an hour later.
Hurried to the subway station, took the subway and headed to the east of the city.
As soon as she got out of the subway entrance, Nanzhiyi was already waiting for her.
It is a refreshing and refreshing look she likes, with a light blue shirt and jeans, short sideburns, casual and natural short hair, a clean and slippery chin, and a pair of eyes that are especially dark and bright.
Ling Li almost ran and jumped up to him, and naturally dragged his hand: "There is a little work temporary, it's too late." ”
The next second, he held his right hand behind his back and looked at each other with a smile.
He didn't ask her why she was late, he just said, "Let's go!" Lu Peng: They have already taken their place. ”
Ling Li's cheeks were slightly red, I don't know if she was tired from trotting all the way just now, or because she was slightly nervous.
Half an hour later, in a small kebab shop on the side of the road, more than a dozen people sat around in a warm atmosphere.
Ling Li drank a small half bottle of beer, and was called out to his wife by a bunch of doctors and monks wearing glasses, and his ears began to heat up.
And Nan Zhiyi kept a straight face, holding her hand at the bottom of the table from time to time, signaling her not to be nervous, and not to pay attention to this bunch of boys who are in estrus and can't find a spouse.
Today, he said yes, he will take her to meet his students and formally introduce them - after all, the tutor is the food and clothing parents of the doctors and monks, and now that he has the boss, of course it is a big deal.
Unlike a group of deliberately heckling male classmates, Tao Xing, as the only girl among them, is naturally a lot more reserved.
She sat furthest away from Nanzhiyi, eating quietly, just not drinking.
Compared with the previous days, she seems to have lost some weight, and her whole person is more beautiful.
As the only female student, she naturally has preferential treatment, no one forces her to drink, and occasionally one or two people who don't know each other are also scolded back by Lu Peng who is sitting next to her.
It's just that when she occasionally met her gaze, Ling Li couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Her eyes are not unfriendly, but compared to the past few days, they are much calmer, and sometimes even show a smile when the two look at each other.
However, as soon as Ling Li remembered the misdirection Tao Xing gave her, and remembered that she had almost missed him again, her defensive heart naturally became angry.
Tao Xing obviously knew that Nan Zhiyi had rejected the project, but she still misled Ling Li intentionally or unintentionally, making Ling Li think that Nan Zhiyi was going to leave everything in the capital. Although it was a mistake in the end, this incident even promoted her and Nan Zhiyi to be together, but the feeling of being deceived was never happy.
Ling Li was so engrossed that someone suddenly came over and raised a beer glass at her: "Sister Fan, you have worked hard to take care of the teacher, I will do it first as a respect." ”
After speaking, the man with glasses directly drank the wine glass in his hand, and a bunch of bad boys who didn't think it was a big deal began to shout again.
Ling Li was difficult to ride a tiger, raised the wine glass and just said that she meant to take a sip or two, but Nan Zhiyi snatched the wine glass from her hand, and said angrily: "These little rabbit cubs look honest but actually have a lot of eyes, you are too honest, you are not allowed to talk to them in the future." ”
looked around again, and called them one by one: "In short, today's amount has arrived, whoever asks me to take an extra sip of Fan Mei will have one more day on duty, understand?" ”
It stands to reason that this unreasonable coercion is enough to suppress the group of nerds in front of him, but Nan Zhiyi didn't expect that the experimental dogs who were honest when he used to stare at each other began to mess around at this time.
One shouted, "Master, you have to call the shots for us", the other shouted, "Master, you don't think about single dogs if you get off the list", or a few people partnered up, the voice was simply chilling.
They obviously knew that Nan Zhiyi was in a good mood and didn't take it seriously at all, so they dared to coax.
Ling Li's cheeks became even hotter, and when she saw Nan Zhiyi's helpless appearance, she didn't know how to relieve herself.
Tao Xing stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of Nan Zhiyi's table, and smiled at the people around her: "You drunks, don't harass the master." I'll do it for you, okay? ”
Nan Zhiyi gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Good peach apricot." The second author of this paper, yours. ”
Tao Xing turned around and winked at him: "Deal." ”
"Academic corruption! Corrupt! ”
The bunch of drama spirits below still refused to stop, either covering their hearts and shouting, or regretting missing the opportunity, and the atmosphere was lively again.
Tao Xing seems to have long been accustomed to the group of manic patients around her who scream at every turn, and slowly drank the cup, and then turned the bottom of the cup over to let the table check if there was a drop left.
She toasted to the applause of the table, and then turned her face slightly and stared at Ling Li with a smile.
"Master, I've instructed." Her voice was crisp and sweet, and after she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue.
It was past ten o'clock, and a noisy party ended.
It's time to go home and go back to school, a bunch of students who are so drunk that they are bold still want to go to Nanzhiyi to play games, but they are easily stopped by Tao Xing and Lu Peng.
Sending off the students, the kebab shop was not far from home, and Nan Zhiyi took Ling Li and walked slowly on the greenway.
His expression was relaxed and comfortable, dragging Ling Li's hand, and joking: "These dozen or so students, I'm afraid you will have to see each other a few more times to remember who is who, right?" ”
Ling Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, met his clear eyes, and smiled.
It's just that my mind has passed over and over the expression of Tao Xing just now, and a faint trace of uneasiness in my heart has gradually spread.
Same city, different directions.
In the No. 1 courtyard of Yingbin Avenue in the west of the city, in a small three-story building, the man under the warm orange lamp in the study looked at the thick stack of documents in his hand with a deep brow.
There was a sound by the door, and the woman came in with a white porcelain bowl, and she was a little stunned when she saw the man's thin side face and tightly knit brow.
Standing in place for a while, she sighed, approached lightly with her things, gently put down the bowl that was still steaming, and whispered, "Zhijun, eat something." ”
Nan Zhijun put down the document in his hand and turned his head to look at her, his gaze was as gentle as water.
"Jinran," he chuckled, "thank you." ”
After that, go ahead and pick up the pen and draw on the document.
She shook her head slightly, and turned her gaze to a stack of documents piled up more than ten centimeters thick on the desk: "There are so many, are you going to stay up late tonight?" ”
Nan Zhijun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed slightly: "If you deal with the important matters before then, you can stay in the imperial capital for two more days." ”
After Lu Jinran let out a long sigh, her voice was a little resentful: "Xiao Yi refuses to go back this time?" ”
Nan Zhiyi took a pen, and the tip of the pen left a cloud of ink under the document.
He frowned, simply pushed away the stack of documents, stood up and held Lu Jinran's hand: "Don't blame him, he still has burn marks on his body, in case he scares grandma, it's even worse." Mom and Dad also agreed that he would go back later. ”
Lu Jinran snorted lightly, his eyes darkened: "He has a reason for everything he does, everything you do is wrong, obviously you are the one who cares about him the most in this family, but you are the one who is the most angry!" ”
Seeing her pouting little girl-like expression, Nan Zhijun chuckled: "You know I don't care about this, and I don't want to fight for this, he just needs to live well, and the rest is not important." ”
Lu Jinran had an indescribable grievance in his eyes: "But I can't see that he has such a bad attitude towards you, obviously you think about him everywhere, but he always misunderstands him, it's better to tell him ......"
"No way!" Nan Zhijun's face suddenly sank, "Jinran, I know that you feel sorry for me, and I also know your grievances over the years, but it is about Xiao Yi's life, and I can't take risks." ”
Lu Jinran sneered. It's been more than ten years, and she doesn't know how many times she has persuaded Nan Zhijun to say that before, but the answer is the same every time.
Suddenly, more than ten years of resentment came to her heart, her tears flashed, and she choked up a little: "I knew that it would make you brothers turn against each other for more than ten years, and I shouldn't have ...... back then"
Before she could finish speaking, a bony hand lightly pressed her lip.
"Jinran," Nan Zhijun called her name and shook his head slightly, "If you 'already knew' about the troubles, where would I find a wife?" The world has the law of both, and since I can't have both, I can only be selfish. It is better for us to be misunderstood by Xiao Yi together than for us to be separated. ”
When he said the last sentence, the slightest tenderness seeping into his voice made his slightly hoarse voice extremely warm.
In a blur of tears, the traces of time on his face seemed to have disappeared, and the man who dragged her hand fifteen years ago and asked softly, "It will be very stressful to marry me, are you afraid" seemed to jump in front of him.
She sniffed, still arguing: "But back then, it was obviously not your fault." ”
Nan Zhijun smiled indifferently: "Whose fault is it, is it so important?" It's all old things, between a family, what is the reason? ”
After speaking, he sat down at the desk, picked up the spoon in the bowl, and began to eat the wine-stuffed meatballs cooked by Lu Jinran.
Lu Jinran sighed, looking at the gray hair that had begun to grow under the lamp, and his heart was mixed.
At the beginning, her mother did not approve of her marrying Nan Zhijun with infamy, and also asserted that Nan Zhijun's reason, self-sufficiency and extraordinarily ambitious dedication would make her suffer a lot.
Back then, she got married with a reluctant temperament, and in fifteen years, she watched him quickly stand out from a completely unfamiliar environment to where he is today.
The price he paid, and as the woman behind him, their efforts were not enough for outsiders.
distressed, proud, and aggrieved, but there is no regret.
I didn't regret it then, and I won't regret it now. What's more, they already have a small dome.
Thinking of this, she tentatively spoke: "Next Thursday's parent-teacher meeting in Xiaoqiong, he really wants you to attend, you said before to see the schedule, how about it?" Can I participate? ”
