Chapter 187: Waiting
When Xie Keer got in the car and left, Zhu Jinchuan, who was standing on the side of the road with her to see off the boss, knocked on Ling Li's head with a shudder: "You're afraid you're going to cry stupidly by yourself today, right?" I'm about to cry stupidly by myself, why do I want to take you to the world on a whim? ”
Ling Li was embarrassed by what he said, and then stupidly got in the car and followed Zhu Jinchuan to the court to get procedural documents, and only after two hours did he recover his strength, and he no longer thought about the outrageous behavior just now.
On the way back, Zhu Jinchuan changed his previous mocking tone and no longer counted her performance when eating.
He taught her while driving: "It's actually a good thing that you won't be false and wronged, at least you won't make the client feel that you are two-faced and disgusted." However, you are a lawyer, and the mask you should wear must be buttoned to your face. For example, you can't be in a daze when it's time to express your opinions today, don't run the train when you're supposed to be honest, don't talk about people, and don't talk too much and say the wrong thing. Don't be like today, people are humble and you still say yes, there is no good word. ”
Ling Li lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”
Zhu Jinchuan saw that she honestly admitted her mistakes, but he was a little angry, glanced at her, and his tone was a little slower: "Fortunately, this Xiao Xie is always a hearty person, young and not too scheming, and there is nothing bad about it, if you meet those old foxes, you will not be able to hear them scolding you, and you will sell you and count the money to others." ”
"Oh." Ling Li replied again, her face was submissive, and she was holding back a sentence in her stomach.
The so-called old fox who sold her probably refers to Zhu Jinchuan himself!
Of course, she didn't have the courage to say such a rebellious word, so she had to silently slander in her heart for a while.
After that, Zhu Jinchuan was still saying that she gradually couldn't listen to it, her eyes were focused on the taillights of the car in front, and she became more and more sleepy, and gradually her eyes couldn't open.
When the car stopped and waited for the red light, there was a sudden roar overhead, waking her from her lethargic state. When I looked up, it was a plane about to land and skimmed the sky overhead, so close that the wings seemed to be grazing the tallest landmark in the capital.
Ling Li's thoughts flew away, she raised her wrist to look at her watch, and then turned out the flight steward to look at the status of a flight, feeling a little excited, and a little anxious.
Her mind is not on work at all, and she has already flown to Frankenstein, who is about to return.
Two days ago, he suddenly called and said that he was coming back, and asked her to book a plane ticket.
The plane that Ling Li ordered for him landed at four o'clock in the afternoon, and just now I saw that the flight status showed that it was delayed by half an hour.
It's half past five now, he should have landed, right? But why don't you call to report your safety, or leave a message to tell her?
Pouting and blaming someone for his uncommon affairs and erratic whereabouts, he finished complaining, and remembered the pair of dark and clear eyes.
Suddenly, her unstoppable heart beat faster, and her heart felt slightly hot.
"What comes to mind? Why are you snickering? ”
She was still in a trance, and Zhu Jinchuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh? It's nothing. Ling Li turned her head a little flustered and replied, and suddenly found that the car had stopped, and the surrounding scenes were too familiar to be familiar, and she subconsciously said: "Ah? Here it is? ”
Zhu Jinchuan stopped the car steadily, turned his face and glanced at her with some reproach, as if he was blaming her for being absent-minded.
After that, he motioned for her to get out of the car: "Go home quickly, remember that there is milk for Xiaobao in the trunk of the car, carry it together." ”
According to Zhu Jinchuan's instructions, he carried things upstairs, Ling Li opened the door and put down his things, looked around the empty room, and then closed the door and went downstairs.
When she saw Zhu Jinchuan's car still parked on the side of the road, and the person leaning on the door, she was stunned and asked, "Master, you haven't left yet?" ”
"Well," he replied, opening the co-pilot's door, "get in the car, I was just about to call you for dinner, but I didn't expect you to come down." ”
"No, no, I don't eat ......," she refused in a panic, and for a moment there was something unreasonable.
Ling Li was still searching her stomach and thinking of an excuse to refuse, and Zhu Jinchuan's attention was already on the heavy file bag and computer in the afternoon that she was carrying.
"Isn't Uncle Zhang coming back in a few days? Have you already moved? He asked, frowning slightly.
Following his line of sight and seeing the things in his hand, Ling Li had no choice but to nod: "Yes, it has already been moved." ”
"Where did you move to? Is the surrounding environment safe? He pressed on.
Zhu Jinchuan's words of concern were very open-minded, but Ling Li didn't know how to answer, so he had to Gu Zuo and said to him: "I have to go back to pack up my things, I just moved too messy, so I won't eat with you." ”
Zhu Jinchuan was silent for a while, and gradually put away a smile on his lips.
She had obviously moved, but when he drove the car to the place where he used to live, she didn't tell him, but obediently got out of the car without saying a word.
This is abnormal, unless she is deliberately hiding it from him, why bother?
Isn't it normal to move? And this second sister Ling's weak heart seemed to be inconvenient to say to him.
Zhu Jinchuan looked at the low-hanging little face in front of him, and there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, but he still didn't ask more, and only said: "Let's go, I'll send you home." ”
At dusk, Ling Li climbed to the eighteenth floor.
Zhu Jinchuan drove her to the gate of the community, and it only took a few minutes to drive for just one kilometer.
And after he learned the address, he probably wondered why she suddenly rented a house in this high-end area, and glanced at her from time to time along the way, which made Ling Li's heart furious.
So, getting out of the car, she only hurriedly said goodbye and quickly ran away from his sight.
The journey was a bit hurried, even if I took the elevator to the eighteenth floor, my breathing had not calmed down.
She didn't know why she was weak-hearted, and now she could face Lu Xiaoxiao's ridicule without changing her face and her heart was not beating, but she didn't dare to mention it to Zhu Jinchuan when she moved.
Perhaps, she was afraid that Zhu Jinchuan's eyes would be like a torch and easily see through her little thoughts!
Also, the so-called thief's weakness may be her current state.
Half a month ago, Lu Xiaoxiao had the mentality that it was not a big deal to make trouble, half forced and half threatened, and pulled Li Guo on the same day and forced Ling Li to move to 1802. This made her struggle for many days with the question of whether to move or not, and it was decided in such a simple and rude way.
Ling Li was just like this, being pushed forward by someone and taking a big step forward.
A few days later, Nan Zhiyi suddenly left a message for her on WeChat, saying that the project was progressing smoothly and he would be able to return to Funan soon. The time of that message was five o'clock in the morning.
When she inadvertently clicked on his photo album, she found that there was suddenly one more in the previously empty dynamics, which was the first circle of friends in his life that he posted on the same day.
It was a picture of the sun struggling out of the horizon. The rising sun is not dazzling at all, it is a warm orange-red with a little golden light on the edges, and wisps of golden clouds linger around the sun.
The photo didn't match a word, but Ling Li knew that it was the sunrise he took after staying up all night.
If it was the joke of others who had to put them together before, she was embarrassed and looked forward to a little, and at this moment, it seemed that something in her mind had been woken up by something, so that she could distinguish the two feelings mixed in her heart very clearly.
It was sweet, and it was heart-wrenching.
The sweet thing is that he is busy pushing forward the work quickly in order to come back early, and the pain is that he is afraid that this person will stay up late for a long time, and his body will collapse sooner or later.
From that day on, she realized that she would think about their relationship from time to time and what to do next.
Sometimes she feels that she thinks too far and is too unreliable, but just like a pebble thrown into a calm lake that causes a circle of ripples to ripple, the more she forces herself not to think, the more she can't calm down.
After several nights of tossing and turning, she seemed to have some preliminary understanding of her current state.
First of all, she was happy to have more opportunities to see Nan Zhiyi, so she accepted the somewhat outrageous plan of moving to 1802 with half a push.
Secondly, whether she likes Nan Zhiyi or not, or to what extent, she is not so sure at present.
It's just that he is undoubtedly different from her, and when he faces him, he does have a different feeling from ordinary friends.
As for when he had such a slight feeling for him, Ling Li himself couldn't tell.
Maybe it was because he sold himself for five years to raise enough 10 million to move her, maybe it was because he dared to hand over such a big case to her trust, or maybe he was so weak that he stood in front of her again and again before the danger came......
Or maybe it's just because he's Nan Zhiyi.
Weird, unreasonable, bad image, informal, no moral deception, but such a unique Nanzhiyi.
For the first time in her twenty-five years of life, she had the idea of taking good care of a person, wanting his messy hair to disappear, wanting him to shave clean and refreshing to see people every day, not allowing him to dress sloppily and be sorry for his tall profession, and not allowing him to stay up late without moderation, so that his already fleshy body would become a skeleton.
In the end, Ling Li actually knew that she was a little self-conscious. Regardless of such a cliché topic, she is really not sure if Nan Zhiyi has a certain string in her head, and she doesn't know how to determine it.
It's just that things have come to this point, and it's useless for her to run away.
Instead of cowering for fear of injury, it's better to be brave and stick your head out of the turtle's shell to see what the road ahead looks like.
Now, he's coming back soon. Moreover, even the return ticket was booked for him on her mobile phone three days ago.
Ever since he knew that he was coming back, Ling Li had been thinking about how to greet him, and all he was thinking about these days was what else he could do.
His house has been cleaned, his clothes and books are in order, the kitchen has fresh vegetables and freshly cut noodles to prevent him from having to eat on a whim, and twenty-four flavors of instant noodles are neatly stacked in the top compartment of the cupboard.
Considering the nutritional balance, the refrigerator has particularly good quality fruits bought in an imported supermarket, 500 milliliters of pasteurized fresh milk and yogurt, and even crème brûlée and soda prepared for him.
Thinking and thinking, she nodded to herself. Well, there really isn't anything missing.
Before leaving, Tian Zhengyan handed over the responsibility of taking care of Nan Zhiyi's daily life to her, even if she couldn't cook, it was okay to let the little monster live comfortably, and devote herself to academics without distractions.
Moreover, when her aunt and uncle returned, as soon as the most difficult question of "what to eat at night" was solved, she only needed to be herself and play the best of tidying up, which he needed most.
Ling Li secretly clenched her fists, so, it must be no problem!
