Chapter 31: Suddenly

Seeing off Lu Xiaoxiao, Ling Li went upstairs to wash up and clean up for a while, and when she turned on the TV when she was free, it happened that the evening news had just started.

The dignified female anchor on TV broadcast in a gentle and atmospheric voice: "Audience friends, today is November 28th, Monday, the 29th day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the main content of today's evening news is ......"

Ling Li's ears only heard the date.

Tomorrow, Zhong Chengheng's case will finally be tried again.

As the court date drew closer, she was a little distraught with the irritability of the case hanging in the balance, and the uncertainty of the future.

Thankfully, it's all going to come to an end. After the verdict of Zhong Chengheng's case was announced, she should also make up her mind to make some changes.

After sitting restlessly in the living room for a while, Ling Li finally decided to go to bed early to recuperate, tomorrow's court session is about half a day, and listening to the whole process is a huge drain on physical and mental power.

However, as soon as she made her bed and got her hand warmer, the security door rang uninterestingly.

Ling Li was a little strange, who could it be so late?

She looked at the lounge clothes on her body and saw nothing unpleasant, grabbed another coat and covered her face, and went to the entrance to open the door.

Unexpectedly, there was Nanzhiyi standing outside the door.

He was still dressed as an elite in the afternoon, but there were a few sporadic oil stains on his shirt and the strong smell of wine on his face, which made Ling Li frown.

She couldn't help but cover her nose: "Teacher Nan, it's so late, what's the matter?" ”

Nan Zhiyi smiled suddenly, his eyebrows and eyes crooked like a child: "On the way home, I saw that the lights in your house were still on, thinking that maybe you would change your mind?" ”

After saying that, he ignored the host's unwelcoming attitude, and went straight into the living room, and sat down on the sofa, his back firmly resting on the back of the sofa, and the whole person seemed to sink in.

He leaned his head back on the backrest, reached out to cover his face to block the light, and let out a long sigh of relief, his voice with a rare tiredness: "It's finally done." ”

Ling Li resisted the urge to bombard him out just now, closed the door, went into the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

Usually this person always doesn't care about anything, but it's rare to see him tired and running, and it's still a little unbearable.

However, when he turned his head to look at his footprints on the ground, the corners of Ling Li's eyes twitched.

She ran to the entrance and brought a pair of men's slippers over and put them at his feet, and sighed: "Change the shoes, I only dragged them in the afternoon." ”

Nan Zhiyi understands very well the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, changed their shoes and continued to nest on the sofa, closing their eyes and rubbing their temples with their hands.

Looking at his two shoes that were far away from the left and the right, Ling Li sighed resignedly, carried the leather shoes to the door, and took out the mop and dragged them for a while, until the floor was as bright as a mirror and as clean as ever, and finally clapped his hands with satisfaction.

When she turned her head, she found that Nan Zhiyi was leaning on the backrest, holding a pillow in his arms, breathing with his eyes closed, and he was already asleep.

His previous unruly hair had spread out a little, and a few strands of hair hung down, casting a fine light and shadow on his forehead. The bridge of the nose is straight, the eye sockets are deep, and the long eyelashes flutter slightly with the breathing.

When Nan Zhiyi closed his eyes, his facial features softened, and he actually felt a little gentle and clear of a humble gentleman.

Ling Li sighed, it was a pity that such a good pair of skins had been made like a homeless man by his unreliable master for eight out of ten days.

She suddenly had the idea of playing a prank, tiptoed up behind him, leaned close to his ear, and yelled, "Hey! ”

Nan Zhiyi was sleeping in a daze, awakened by her voice, couldn't help but shake his body, and his eyes suddenly opened.

When he saw clearly that it was Ling Li following the voice, he reached out and patted his chest and said, "Are you a howler monkey?" ”

Ling Li replied to him expressionlessly: "Please talk well and don't be cute." ”

He was a little dumbfounded, he didn't understand where the sentence just now was cute, and opened his mouth slightly: "Huh? ”

Hearing Nan Zhiyi snatch his past lines, and looking at him with a black question mark face, Ling Li felt happy in her heart, and couldn't help laughing: "A monkey is a monkey, what kind of monkey (hou three sounds) monkey, how old are you still pretending to be stupid and sweet Taiwanese accent?" ”

finally understood that he was also tricked by Ling Li, and Nan Zhiyi laughed for a while.

This little pink girl, who used to have a stupid mouth and had no resistance, will talk back to her back and forth.

He didn't care, and took the initiative to change the topic: "I was sleeping just now, and your sudden sound did you know how many precious brain cells scared me to death?" ”

Ling Li was still smiling, but she couldn't help but glare at him: "I want to sleep back to your house, it's too late, it's inconvenient for me here." ”

After sleeping for a while, Nan Zhiyi looked a lot better, seeing that her face was a little bad, she hurriedly said, "Fan Mei, didn't I come here for my home?" ”

Hearing him mention this topic again, Ling Li understood that this was the rhythm of the tug-of-war that was about to start again.

She sighed slightly, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and tried her best to sound sincere in her voice: "Teacher Nan, I won't go to clean up for you, even on weekends, I have other arrangements, and I don't want to spend time tidying up your room." ”

Nan Zhiyi frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "If you agree to this matter, I will list you as the third author in the paper I just completed, how about it?" ”

Ling Li almost didn't fall, and said with a smile: "What do I want a third author for?" I'm not a plant student. ”

He had an idiot expression: "Don't pull it down, I still had a struggle of ideas at the thought of being with a weak chicken like you." ”

Being despised by him again, Ling Li's heart had no fluctuation.

He disliked her while letting her do coolies, thinking that he was accommodating her to please her, but from the hair to the toes, there was an aura of "let you do it to look up to you".

In fact, Nan Zhiyi's request was not difficult to do, but her little self-esteem was at work, and she always felt a little cheap.

She didn't have much left left, and she really couldn't compromise this time, so she hardened her heart: "Teacher Nan, you saved me, I am very grateful, although I have no power, no power and no retribution, but I have my own insistence on this matter." You really don't have to ask me anymore, it's a waste of everyone's time. ”

Nan Zhiyi thought for a while with one hand, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I know, I won't bother you about this matter anymore." ”

Seeing that he was a little disappointed, Ling Li was still a little reluctant in his heart, hesitated for a while, and said: "It's really not good, you can also clean up by yourself and throw away the things you don't need, the fewer things, the cleaner the home." ”

Nan Zhiyi looked straight ahead, his expression was raised, and his voice was calm: "Okay, got it." ”

Ling Li saw that he was a little unhappy, and he didn't dare to go deeper on this topic, thinking hard about how to send this great god out.

Is it a straightforward sentence "I'm going to sleep, you can go back", or is it a tactful "If you don't go home when it's not early, be careful to meet Lu Xiaoxiao......

was struggling, Nan Zhiyi suddenly raised the hand wrapped in gauze, and said in a sullen voice: "I owe me such a big favor, how are you going to pay it back?" ”

As soon as Ling Li raised his eyes, he saw his injured hand, and frowned, and he really felt a little guilty.

That night, Nan Zhiyi was cut into the palm of his hand by Jin Yu's knife, but in fact, the wound was very deep, according to his uncle, he almost injured the tendon, and he took more than ten stitches after arriving at the hospital.

It's just that this person is often startled, and he jumped high when he was pinched by her, and he didn't say anything at that time, so Ling Li always thought that he was not seriously injured.

Nan Zhiyi saw that she couldn't speak, her eyes were full of small smiles, and she said slowly: "Are you a koala?" ”

"Huh?" Ling Li was still thinking nonsense, and accidentally caught the road again.

Finally avenged the revenge of the arrow just now, Nan Zhiyi laughed, and his voice was a little cheerful: "Sure enough, the brain has shrunk to the size of a walnut, and the reflex arc is a few points longer than that of a sloth." ”

Ling Li pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, a little annoyed that she was crooked by him again.

Nan Zhiyi laughed enough, and finally said slowly: "Go and cook a bowl of noodles, I'm hungry." When I'm hungry, my head will be bad, and I may forget what I promised you. ”

Feeling a little helpless by his appearance of taking it for granted and ready to turn back, Ling Li said angrily: "You are full of wine, haven't you eaten yet?" ”

Nan Zhiyi scoffed: "The kind of meal that hurts my stomach when I look at it, I'd rather stay up in the laboratory for half a month than eat it." ”

After a pause, he added, "Cooking noodles is also a form of repaying gratitude." ”

Hearing this, Ling Li hurriedly said, "Okay, eat noodles, eat noodles, I'll cook them right away!" ”

Then the wind and fire entered the kitchen, turned on the fire, boiled water, and boiled noodles, but the mood was a little depressed, and the pot and bowl were smashed.

In front of Nan Zhiyi, she was about to blow up her hair with a breath and vent her anger on the kitchenware, no one could care about her, right?

However, when she brought out a bowl of noodles to Nan Zhiyi, he glanced at it with disgust: "You are moving so much, I thought you were making a full banquet of the Han Dynasty, but you ended up cooking a bowl of instant noodles?" ”

was ridiculed by him again, Ling Li gritted her teeth: "Do you want to eat?" If you don't eat it, I'll take it and pour it. ”

After speaking, she was about to pick up the bowl and take it into the kitchen to dump it, but Nan Zhiyi grabbed the front.

Ling Li still stopped his hand between him and the bowl: "Okay, after eating this bowl of noodles, don't talk about cleaning anymore!"

He frowned and was very dissatisfied: "Six great favors, a bowl of instant noodles is over?" You're really good at business. ”

Ling Li didn't back down, her cheeks were bitten tightly, and she had to give him a clear answer.

After looking at her for a while, he suddenly smiled, shaved her hand away, and said leisurely: "Okay, for your cooking skills of boiling boiled water, I promise you."

It was easy to wait for him to finish eating the noodles, and Ling Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally able to send this great god away, and besides, he won't mention cleaning in the future, and it's a matter of it.

Nan Zhiyi changed his shoes, looked up at Ling Li, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "You can take a look at Mi Li and Guli when you have time, these two girls must miss you, every time I go back from your house, they surround me for a while, and they are still coquettish with me." ”

His words reminded Ling Li of the two dogs he hadn't seen for a week, and he suddenly had a sour nose, pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll go see them when I have time." ”

Biting his lower lip again, he hesitated for a while: "Are you free tomorrow?" ”

Nan Zhiyi turned his head sideways, looked at her suspiciously for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: "Do you want to go to see Mi Li and Guli tomorrow?" Not tomorrow, I have something very important tomorrow. ”

Seeing that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked and he smiled cleanly, Ling Li wanted to blurt out words, but finally swallowed his stomach.

Nan Zhiyi turned around and walked down the stairs, Ling Li covered the door, standing in the entrance and was a little stunned.

When she reached the door just now, she looked at the clock clock, and the hour hand was almost twelve, and it was only a few minutes, and it was about to be the twenty-ninth day.

At that moment, she suddenly became scared, and even wanted to bring someone she didn't know too well to accompany her to the trial.

Ling Li was a little stunned, this was not like her at all.

The lonely "family of the victim" is still a minor girl, and it is easy for people to feel compassion, and at the beginning, there were still many relatives and friends who accompanied her through the trial.

It's just that eight years have passed, and other people have been constantly pulled in, and even if they have blood relations and past love, they can't resist the excuse of "I really can't leave" to feel at ease.

And the memories left by relatives to others have long been eroded to the point of being riddled with holes.

Even my uncle forgot that there was a demon for whom he did not pay.

It's not a good thing to forget. The traces of the deceased in this world gradually fade, and the living forget the pain, the wounds gradually heal, and they can start a new life.

She is the only one who has been repeatedly entangled by the pronouncement, appeal, retrial, and order of retrial again and again, and has been peeled open again and again with scabbed wounds, and her flesh and blood are drenched.

How can a little cheap sympathy, or a few words of comfort that you forget to forget, soothe it?

There was no other way to comfort her than to let that demon subdue.
