Chapter 56: Peach Stiff
On the third day after returning from Changshan, Ling Liwei's feet were finally able to walk normally, although it was still a little painful to walk fast, but seeing that the court was about to start soon, she was still confused about the case, and she wanted to go to work in a hurry.
She arrived at the office early in the morning, but found that Lu Xiaoxiao, a lazy person who often arrives late and leaves early, was actually earlier than her.
Ling Li greeted her, but found that this person was lying on the table with a dull gaze, so he stopped pestering her, turned out the file and began to do his homework.
When she finally finished processing the evidence catalog in her hand, Ling Li rubbed her somewhat sore eyes, and asked Lu Xiaoxiao across a long table, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao turned her face to look at her, frowned and covered her heart, and read in a ghostly voice: "Cocoon White Rabbit, go east and west, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before." ”
Ling Li was shocked by her sad voice and expression, only to feel that goosebumps quickly appeared on her back, and she hurriedly hugged her arms and said exaggeratedly: "It's so sour, it's so cold." A few days ago, you were still in love with the spring and single-mindedly chasing Nanzhiyi, how can you be like a resentful woman today? ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaoxiao's pretty face appeared in front of her, and her eyes stared straight at her: "What kind of man are you chasing, just come out with you." ”
"Poof!" Ling Li spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and she didn't know how to answer her words.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed, and she suddenly reached out and pinched Ling Li's jaw, forcing her to raise her face to look at herself, her voice was full of doubts: "Little Lingzi, tell me honestly, what is going on between you and Nan Zhiyi?" Why does he have to ask you where and what are you doing every time and he can't remember my name? ”
Ling Li's scalp was numb at first by her nailed eyes, but when she heard the second half, she was relieved, and tried to snatch back her pinched chin from her hand, and lowered her head and snickered.
It turned out that Lu Xiaoxiao's defeated rooster appearance was because Nan Zhiyi couldn't remember her. That's it!
It's really normal to hit a wall in Nanzhiyi. Hell if they can happily play together without any obstacles.
So, she smiled and persuaded Lu Xiaoxiao with kind words: "Nan Zhiyi is face blind, I have looked for him several times for the case, but he can't recognize me every time, and asks me if I want to take his doctorate." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao slapped the table unconvinced: "Your secondary sexual characteristics are used to distinguish between the front chest and the back, it's normal not to recognize it, but sister, I ...... it."
Halfway through speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Ling Li's cold face, and hurriedly swallowed the second half of the more excessive ridicule in her stomach, and laughed.
Ling Li smoothed out, and her voice was calm: "You'd better do what he likes, or he will never remember you, and you will never be as important as the food box in your hand." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
Ling Li turned a ballpoint pen in her hand, her eyes staring at the ceiling and thinking about it.
After a while, she spoke: "What Nan Zhiyi likes, except for dogs, is probably plants." You ask him something related to his profession, and every time you ask him some questions, and he will probably remember you as you come and go...... Right? ”
The last two words, with a strong sense of uncertainty, still did not affect Lu Xiaoxiao's strong enthusiasm.
She was very satisfied with this last straw, tilted her head and frowned and thought for a while, as if she was thinking about what could attract Nan Zhiyi's attention, and she had a fighting spirit.
As soon as the IQ came back, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes were rolling wildly, and she suddenly bent down and muttered in Ling Li's ear: "I heard that you went to Changshan with Zhutou and were trapped on the road for a day and a night......"
When Ling Li heard this opening remark, her heart was empty for no reason, and she was thinking about how to say it appropriately, when Zhu Jinchuan's voice sounded behind her: "So early? ”
Halfway through the words, the party appeared again, Lu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that the three souls went to two and a half, and the half-souls were also waving the little white flag and wanted to escape.
Zhu Jinchuan put on his coat, still dressed in his usual shirt and tie, vest and suit, and slowly paced in, but did not enter his office immediately, but came to the long table next to Ling Li's lattice room, one hand propped up on the table, the other hand flipped through the newspaper on the table, without raising his eyes, as if asking casually: "Ling Li, have you had breakfast?" ”
Ling Li nodded, and her voice was obedient: "I've eaten." ”
"Oh," he replied, and the next second he said, "Skipping breakfast causes blood sugar to be too low, and the brain's consciousness activity is impaired." ”
Ling Li lowered her eyes silently. I know that this is the case, where will Zhu Dazhuang have the leisure to greet her, behind every word he says, there are traps.
The implication of this sentence is that she is stupid enough, and she must remember to eat breakfast so as not to be even more stupid.
Zhu Jinchuan took a few minutes to finish the newspaper, quickly scanned the headlines and found that there was nothing he was interested in, walked over and took a wet towel from Ling Li's desktop to wipe off the ink stained on his fingertips, and looked at Ling Li with a frown.
Ling Li was a little uncomfortable with his scrutinizing gaze, and there was some hair on his back, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan's expression was serious: "Speaking of which, what are you going to wear when you go to court?" ”
Ling Li was stunned: "Formal attire." ”
He was still frowning: "That's what you usually wear?" ”
Ling Li nodded a little weakly, and looked down at a small black suit on his body, although it was clean and tidy, but there was a lot of friction between the cuffs and the flank, and there were inevitably some small hairballs.
Compared with Zhu Dazheng Zhou Zheng's appearance, his shabby and bottomless outfit is really not enough to see.
Ling Li looked at his somewhat dissatisfied eyes, and his heart was weak for a while: "Otherwise, I'll wear a lawyer's robe to court?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan had a rare stunned expression, and the smile in his eyes flashed: "Don't be funny, go to court with pajamas and a red scarf, do you want to take the comedian route?" What to do with the judge who dies of laughter? ”
Ling Li was choked by his words, and he hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Then what should I do?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan turned his head sideways to look at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was stunned next to him, and turned his face again: "Xiao Lu is shorter than you but fatter than you, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear her clothes, forget it, don't nest in the office in the afternoon, go shopping and buy a set to wear in court." ”
He raised his chin and said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "If you don't have anything urgent to deal with, just accompany Ling Li, I can't believe her vision." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded Mumu, Ling Li only felt that he was going to be angry with him, and when Zhu Jinchuan entered the office, he slammed the pen in his hand to get angry.
Zhu Daxiang went offline, and Lu Xiaoxiao's brain returned to her head again.
She was also so angry that she crossed her waist and her face was unconvinced, and she muttered in a low voice: "What do you mean I'm fatter than you?" I call it plumpness! Is Zhu Jinchuan blind? ”
However, she was angry and gave Lu Xiaoxiao ten guts, and she didn't dare to find Zhu Jinchuan directly. Originally, she wanted to be angry with Ling Li, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that this poor child was a victim like her.
Even, worse than her! After all, she is just a pond fish, but Ling Li is the city gate itself.
She bent down and attached a face of gossip to her ear: "Xiao Lingzi, why has your family been making fun of you lately?" This state is not right, did you go to Changshan with him, and something indescribable happened to the lonely man and widow, so he looked at you differently? ”
Ling Li was frightened by her words, choked on a mouthful of tea into her trachea, and coughed earth-shatteringly.
It just so happened that Zhu Jinchuan took off his coat and was about to close the door, when he heard this voice probe out, his face was full of impatience: "Ling Li, I'm going to cough out, it's noisy." ”
After speaking, he slammed the door and gave them a crisp back.
Ling Li was choked and her face was flushed, tears were about to cough up, and she looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with an innocent face, and the implication was that "do you look like this?"
Lu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and patted her heart: "Even if I didn't say it, your master seems to have entered menopause early, it's terrible." ”
With the imperial decree of wishing the great form, the afternoon time is a rare leisure time in this busy and dark day.
Lu Xiaoxiao accompanied Ling Li to take a long walk around the women's clothing area on the third floor of a nearby shopping mall, but she couldn't find a suitable one in the clothing store that Ling Li thought was acceptable.
Moreover, without exception, Ling Li thought it was okay, but Lu Xiaoxiao frowned and picked on the fault, either the fabric was too inferior, or the cut was not crisp enough and not spiritual.
Ling Li was used to her poisonous mouth, and her heart did not fluctuate, but the owners of several shops finally looked gloomy and wanted to sweep them out with a broom.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know which pot to mention, and in the end, she directly denied Ling Li's shop: "You get what you pay for, these twenty-something college students you choose are okay to find a job and wear a bluff, where can you support your age?" ”
Ling Li rolled her eyes and was speechless for a while. She's also in her twenties, so where can't she wear it?
In the end, she was denied to the point that she had no aesthetics, so she had to let Lu Xiaoxiao pull her to the boutique women's clothing area on the fourth floor.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw a set of dark gray suits in a display case, which made her a little unable to take her eyes off.
The mid-length top has a neat cut, simple and generous, with a circle of rolled sleeves with dark flowers embedded in the cuffs, which looks particularly delicate, but also handsome and capable.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the small flame in her eyes, and then looked at the name of the store, and couldn't help but drag her into the store, and shouted as soon as she entered the door: "Beauty, take out the dark gray suit displayed in the window, my friend wants to try it." ”
The shopping guide girl came up to serve diligently, and waited for Ling Li, who was still dizzy, to change into that set of clothes.
Coming out of the locker room, Ling Li looked at herself in the mirror, a little stunned. It's really different from those downstairs, a low-key and atmospheric top, with a pair of black trousers, which looks quite dignified, and there is no stereotype and stiffness of traditional formal wear.
Everything is impeccable, except for the price.
Lu Xiaoxiao let out a "wow", looked around Ling Li twice, and said, "This set is good, it suits you very well." ”
As she spoke, she frowned again, and the next second she suddenly reached out to remove her eyes, and grabbed the hair band she used to coil her hair while she didn't come back to her senses.
