The midday sun shines into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and because of the refraction of the glass, a colorful halo is projected on the floor tiles.

It was a rare good weather, but Ling Li had no time to enjoy the winter sun. She was lying on the ground rubbing the floor tiles, her back was burned by the sun, her hair was a little hot, and her forehead was also covered with a fine layer of sweat.

It has been less than ten days since the trial of Qin Xinghai's case, and in the past few days, she has been so busy that she has no time to think about releasing Nanzhiyi's pigeon for a while.

Fortunately, the preparations for familiarizing yourself with the prosecution's evidence, collecting preliminary materials, and responding to cross-examination have finally come to an end, and then only the most critical defense is left.

Zhu Jinchuan asked her to take advantage of the weekend to rest and adjust her state, as soon as Ling Li was free, she immediately remembered that because of her previous injury and business trip, she hadn't cleaned Nan Zhiyi's room for half a month, so she took advantage of her time to fulfill her promise.

After a busy morning, she finally cleaned up the Nandashen kennel that had become a waste shelter again, and then wiped the last small floor tile in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and it was completely done.

She stood up, thumped the back of her neck, which was a little stiff because of the long bending over, stretched her limbs, and lowered her head, only to see the pitiful eyes of the two dogs sitting in front of her.

Ling Li turned her head and saw Nan Zhiyi sitting behind a large desk through the door of the ajar study, with a stack of materials and a laptop in front of him.

The stack of A4 papers, he looked at one by one and threw them away, the floor was full of papers, and the books were also left and right, and it was messy.

Ling Li squeezed her palm. Two hours ago, she had just tidied up the house, and he made a mess again, and she wanted to remind him not to throw things around, which was not only untidy, but also not conducive to work efficiency.

But seeing his face full of concentration and sinking into his work, Ling Li hesitated again.

When he came over this morning, he was already in such a state, with a slightly puffy appearance at the moment, and it looked like he had just stayed up all night.

Standing in place and thinking for a long time, she sighed, touched the top of the rice grains and Gu Li's heads, found the leash, and prepared to simply take Wang Xingren out for a walk, and buy some food for Nan Zhiyi by the way.

It's been a morning, he hasn't even drunk a sip of water, and if no one feeds him, Nan Dashen, who is immersed in his own world, is afraid that he will be able to starve himself into a specimen.

Taking Wang Xingren around the small garden, Ling Li went to his uncle's shop again, ate a bowl of noodles by himself, and asked his uncle to make dumplings, and after more than an hour, Ling Li returned to the apartment with a big food box containing fresh dumplings, pea seedlings and seasonings.

Sure enough, Nan Zhiyi was still sitting in the study and maintaining his original posture, as if he hadn't even moved his buttocks.

After the dumplings and vegetables were cooked, and the dipping sauce was adjusted, Ling Li knocked on the door frame of the study. knocked three times in a row, and the crisp sound finally made Nan Zhiyi look up like he had just woken up from a dream, looking at Ling Li at the door, with a sudden expression.

He was stunned for at least three or four seconds before he said, "When did you come?" ”

reacted immediately: "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Ling Li looked at his face full of stubble and unkempt hair, and was a little helpless: "Teacher Nan, it's almost two o'clock, it's time for you to have lunch." ”

Nan Zhiyi frowned: "So fast? ”

He immediately stood up again, looked at the time, and sighed: "I haven't eaten for twenty hours, it seems that my stomach has been melted into a black hole by stomach acid, and I feel like I can swallow heaven and earth." ”

However, when he ate the box of dumplings, he frowned and was picky: "How can the dumplings with cabbage filling be cooked too much?" The stuffing is no longer crispy, so pay attention next time. ”

Ling Li quietly let out an "oh", not wanting to argue with him at all. Nan Zhiyi can't cook but is unexpectedly picky eater, and his taste is tricky, from the sweet complaint of Miss Lu, who is a part-time takeaway girl these days.

Ling Li picked up the sealing glue and swept over the crystal cup fragments that Nan Zhiyi had broken into pieces on the ground as soon as he sat down, and wrapped them densely, with meticulous and careful movements.

Nan Zhiyi wondered about her behavior while eating, and asked with curiosity on his face, "What are you playing?" ”

Ling Li didn't raise her eyes, and her voice was still calm: "Wrap these sharp things with transparent glue, so as not to cut the hands of those scavengers." I don't have much money in the first place, and I can't stop working if I don't pay attention to being scratched, so if I get infected, how can I live? ”

She paused, and then said, "Not only these glass and porcelain shards, but also your men's razor blades, disposable needles, etc., must be handled with care, otherwise they will cause trouble to others." ”

Nan Zhiyi nodded suddenly, a smile spread in his eyes, he originally wanted to say that the scavengers are afraid that they are much richer than you, but seeing her cautious and meticulous expression, he couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

After eating a few dumplings with disgust on his face, Nan Zhiyi suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Li a little strangely: "I see that you seem to be in good shape recently, the corners of your lips are curved at any time, are you in love?" ”

This sudden sentence made Ling Li almost choke on her own saliva, and hurriedly waved her hand: "What did you say?" Don't guess! ”

Nan Zhiyi looked incredulous: "Then how can I smell a strong smell of dopamine in the air?" It's okay for you to talk about ten or eight boyfriends, but just remember to promise me something after dating. ”

Ling Li wanted to confess a few words, but she knew that Nan Zhiyi had always done her own thing, no matter what weird things he talked about, the ultimate goal would definitely fall to letting her clean up, so he didn't say more.

After eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks for him, and taking it to the kitchen to clean it, Ling Li thought about it for a while, so he came out to say goodbye to Nan Zhiyi, but found that he had curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

Although the heating in the room was nearly 20 degrees, he only had a thin cotton shirt on his body, and the blanket was on the sofa on the other side, but he would rather curl up and huddle in a ball with his arms than bother to move.

And Mi Li and Gu Li, respectively, occupied one of his slippers as a pillow, and also lay quietly under the sofa.

Ling Li shook her head, gently picked up the blanket on the side, and approached cautiously, wanting to unfold the blanket and put it on Nan Zhiyi.

However, as soon as they got closer, the two dogs suddenly opened their eyes at the same time and raised their heads slightly, and the three pairs of wet eyes all slipped vigilantly, and their faces were full of vigilance, and after seeing that it was Ling Li, they all instantly relaxed, closed their eyes without defense, and continued to sleep.

Ling Li was made to cry and laugh by the synchronization of these three gods, shook his head, put the blanket on his body for Nan Dashen, who had fallen asleep, and closed the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows to block the sunlight. After that, gently close the door and go home.

Along the way, she felt a little emotional.

This was the first time she had seen Nan Zhiyi at work, and she was a little worried when she thought of his appearance of forgetting to sleep and eat day and night.

I didn't have the ability to take care of myself, and now I don't have the care of my friends, can I still live until the New Year?

Thinking about it just now, he was curled up and lying on his side, and the protruding shoulder blades could only be described as skinny if there was a little less flesh.

I couldn't rest assured, she took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Nanda God is oblivious to sleep and food and is devoted to work, I don't know if it will die suddenly if it goes on like this, I hope that the caring beautiful girl can care about the life and death of the pillars of the country." ”

After thinking about it, she sent another message: "The spare key is under the doormat of the neighbor's house." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly replied, in just five words, she was very grateful.

Regarding how to get Nan Zhiyi's attention, the idea she gave to Lu Xiaoxiao before didn't seem to work.

I don't know what Lu Xiaoxiao pestered Nan Zhiyi to ask, Nan Zhiyi didn't remember her and didn't say it, but instead complained to Ling Li about his old man's machine that was only opened once in hundreds of years, why did the takeaway girl she hired so talkative, can she change someone, it's best to find a dumb person.

Ling Li was embarrassed to feedback this information to Lu Xiaoxiao, for fear that Lu Xiaoxiao would be hit to the point of vomiting blood and dying.

Ling Li pursed her lips, looked up and saw a huge Christmas tree at the door of the apartment, and suddenly realized that today was a special day.

On December 24, Christmas Eve, many dog men and women hooked up with each other on such a foreign festival, sprinkling a lot of dog food, so that an older unmarried young woman like her, who was alone, could not escape.

Sending warmth on Christmas Eve, such an opportunity is in front of me, and I hope that Lu Xiaoxiao can do her best to make some substantial progress.

Standing under the tree and looking up at the colorful decorations hanging on the Christmas tree, she was in a better and better mood, and even began to imagine the future development of Lu Xiaoxiao and Nan Dashen.

However, a phone call pulls her back to brutality. The call was made by Zhu Jinchuan, who did not ask her where she was or did not say why.

His instructions were simple, go back to the office within half an hour and work overtime. Ling Li held up the phone and wanted to cry without tears. Zhu Jinchuan obviously said that she would be allowed to rest for a weekend, but another phone call shattered her dream of going home to catch up on sleep.

These days, she hasn't slept well for a day, and even if she does, her head is full of dreams that make her nervous to the point that her liver trembles.

Either they repeated the defense skills that Zhu Jinchuan had explained, or they dreamed that they suddenly went to court, but they couldn't find the information in court and couldn't find the defense statement, or they were reprimanded and punished by the poker-faced presiding judge to stand in the aisle, and sometimes they were even scared to wake up.

I didn't rest well at night, and I couldn't keep up with it during the day, and Ling Li, who never drank coffee, also began to follow Lu Xiaoxiao to drink the amber liquid that she didn't like so much.

Hurried home to change clothes, and hurried back to the office, the taxi fare of dozens of yuan made her feel a little painful, but what was even more devastating was that even if she was bleeding heavily, she was still late.

Zhu Jinchuan's face was so black that he seemed to be dripping, and his voice was cold: "Ling Li, you are a full fifteen minutes late." ”

She lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry Master." ”

Seeing that her confession was quite sincere, Zhu Jinchuan didn't reprimand her with this question, but just carried her to the conference room and began to talk about the court next week.

Zhu Jinchuan said: "The premise of successful cross-examination is to be familiar with the evidence of the other party. We've done a lot in the early stages, and I'm sure you've memorized that. However, there is one thing I still want to remind you that in court, it is better for you to ask less questions about Qin Xinghai, the main purpose of your questions is to correct the deviation of the other party's questioning, clarify the facts, and other than that, you are all speaking with evidence. ”

Ling Li nodded, and took the pen to mark the notebook again. Although Zhu Jinchuan has repeatedly emphasized the problem, since he attaches so much importance to it, there must be his reason.

Emphasizing the familiarity with the evidence, Zhu Jinchuan said one step deeper: "The authenticity, relevance, and legitimacy of the so-called evidence involved in cross-examination may involve jurisprudence issues at any time. ”

Ling Li nodded again, looking humbly taught.

Seeing that her face was full of solemnity, as if she was trying to digest what she had just said, Zhu Jinchuan said instead: "So, now start the mock cross-examination, are you ready?" ”

Ling Li raised her head suddenly, only to feel that there were millions of alpacas running wildly in her head. Another surprise attack? Again?

She looked at the sky speechlessly, thinking that she would probably be picked on by someone again for a while, and she was scolded until she was half-paralyzed, and her stomach was full of complaints.

If it's a big holiday, I wish you a big picture, can you give a way to live?
