When he realized that he had far underestimated the energy of this rainstorm, Ling Li was already drenched and soaked.

The sound of the rain hitting the roofs and canopies could even drown out the sound of car horns, and the rain covered the sky, making her almost unable to see the road in front of her.

Fortunately, the toilet paper is wrapped in a plastic bag, so it won't get wet. As for her, who is already soaking wet, go back and take a hot bath, and she is a good man again.

It was easy to run to the door of the apartment, and when Ling Li took out the key to open the door, something rolled out along the key.

She watched as the jewelry box containing the pair of studs slipped off, watched the box gurgle and roll down the steps, and watched the lid fall open and the studs roll out and scatter on the floor.

In just two or three seconds, the two small tea crystals have been rushed to the sewer mouth a few meters away by the surging muddy water.

Almost instinctively, she dropped her pocket, stepped into the rain, and reached for the pair of studs.

But it was too late.

With a grasp of the air in her hand, her vision was blurred by the rain again, and she squatted at the mouth of the sewer where the earrings disappeared, and she was stunned.

After a few moments, she couldn't tell if it was tears or rain on her face.

In the pouring rain two years ago, it was he who picked her up from in front of the dangerous wall and went home, fed her medicine, and began the wonderful fate of the two.

was robbed of her bag before the Spring Festival, but he also took her in, and took her to Nanxi, and saw the epiphany that was abandoned by her, so that her memory of home can still have a real carrier.

Although the ambiguous days were sweet and difficult, it was he who gave her the long-lost warmth, unreserved tenderness, and happiness that she had never experienced.

However, the pigeon flower he promised to take her to see finally didn't come true.

He is like a child who doesn't grow up, always talking to himself, even if he knows that he has her place in his heart, but there is always a thick shadow of someone between them, and the evil consequences of his cocooning and self-restraint, which makes her hurt again and again.

He finally let go of her hand, and even, not at all, he didn't hold back at all.

After the breakup, not only did he never call, but he also simply deleted Ling Li's friends and set her mobile phone to a mode that she could never get through, which was so ruthless that she couldn't imagine it.

Ling Li squatted in the rain, buried her head in her knees, and became an ostrich-like posture that Nan Zhiyi once laughed at.

She is still struggling to persevere, but it is Nan Zhiyi, who gave up first.

He left her a scar, and then turned resolutely without a trace of nostalgia.

Where can the living fight the dead? What's more, it was a synonym for all the good and kindness of his youth?

The most memorable thing is that you can't ask for it, Nan Zhiyi is like this, and she, isn't it?

She was in heart-rending pain, but she was still biting her fingers and desperately trying not to cry.

I don't know how long I squatted, but Ling Li suddenly noticed that the rain above her head seemed to stop. At least, the raindrops didn't get into her neck through the collar anymore, making her shiver with cold.

It took her a moment to realize that there was a man standing beside her.

Ling Li looked up in astonishment, and in the dim light, she couldn't see who the person in front of her was.

I only knew that it was a man, tall and thin, as if holding an umbrella to block the rain for her.

Memories come back to that day. There was also a person who held up an umbrella for her, giving her space to cry freely.

After that, she took off all her guard in front of him, and she couldn't remember the number of times she cried.

Is it him, is he back?

She liked it in her heart, and she was in a trance: "You're here?" ”

Then, with a sigh in her ear, the man crouched down and was eye-level with hers.

However, the face in front of her did not have the pair of dark and bright eyes she was looking forward to.

Zhu Jinchuan held an umbrella and didn't ask her why she was crying, but only took out a handkerchief and wiped the water on her face: "Let's go, take you home." ”

——————

Since September, Zhu Jinchuan has assigned Ling Li a new assistant.

This assistant's surname is He, a twenty-five-year-old young man, who just passed the examination last year, and he is not very good at doing things, but he is diligent and straightforward, willing to learn and willing to work, Ling Li uses it more easily.

It's just that newcomers will inevitably get into trouble sometimes.

This time, Assistant He poked the basket because he lost the power of attorney - the most terrible thing was that the client's company in Pingchuan, a prefecture-level city more than 300 kilometers away, had no time to make up for the hours before the trial.

Ling Li couldn't cry or laugh, but she still went to the court, and then spent an hour talking dryly, and finally moved the other party with a sincere attitude, and did not object to their appearance in court; At the same time, he also sought the judge's understanding and agreed to submit a power of attorney after the trial.

After the adjournment, Assistant He said that he wanted to make up for his mistakes, and Fei also booked a high-speed rail ticket to Pingchuan to get the authorization to stamp the official seal, and also said that he would send it back to the judge before getting off work that afternoon.

Ling Li couldn't afford to toss anymore, so he went and went back to the place by himself.

She was so tired that her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, and finally she fell asleep on the table without wanting to eat.

By the time I woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

She straightened up, and immediately heard a rumbling in her stomach in protest.

Ling Li frowned, only feeling that her hands and feet were soft, and if she didn't eat, she was afraid that she would have to consume the little fat in her body.

She weighed herself in the morning, and seemed to be two pounds lighter than a month ago.

After looking at Ling Li, who was already two o'clock and wanted to go down to eat, she reversed back to the office, went to the pantry and took two egg yolk pies, and prepared to put on a cushion and hold it out until work.

Colleagues are all working, she doesn't have a case and leaves her post without permission and doesn't go to run business, if she is seen by those little assistants, she thinks she is free and wandering around during work hours.

Speaking of which, he is a big disciple of Zhu Jinchuan, and he still has to lead by example.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the bag of egg yolk pie, she heard a voice from Zhu Jinchuan's office: "Ling Li, come in and study the case." ”

"Huh?" She blinked, still not understanding how to wish Jinchuan on the place.

Didn't he go on a business trip? Coming back so soon? Fortunately, it happened to interrupt her eating time.

Ling Li was very helpless, her stomach was almost hungry, but the evil capitalists still wanted to exploit her. But she had no choice but to put down her rations and reluctantly go to his office.

Zhu Jinchuan had already sat down, and when he saw her coming in, he raised his eyes and said, "Close the door." ”

Ling Li obediently did as she said, and then sat on the chair like a baby, waiting for the boss's instructions.

After more than ten seconds, Zhu Jinchuan stopped the proxy words he was writing in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and then bent down, and out of nowhere he touched a lunch box wrapped in tin foil and put it in front of her.

Ling Li blinked in surprise, Zhu Jinchuan had already gotten up, walked to the window, and turned his back to her.

"Eat, braised pork rice." He said, "I also added an extra braised chicken leg to you." ”

It took a while for Ling Li to figure out the situation.

It seems that Zhu Jinchuan specially prepared it for her, and left her room to eat.

After Ling Li understood, she didn't pretend to excuse herself, and ate quickly and quietly. Anyway, if you eat the chicken legs in the shape of Zhu Da, you have to sell coolies, and you can't starve to death before you die of exhaustion.

It's just that Zhu Dazhu's patience is limited, and she had better eat quickly, so as not to occupy his office for too long.

Zhu Jinchuan stood leaning against the window, heard the sound of her eating, and did not look back, but said: "No one is urging you, don't be in a hurry if you eat slowly." ”

Ling Li, who was almost choked, was so embarrassed that her cheeks were red, so she obediently did as he said, slowing down the speed of eating.

After eating, Ling Li cleaned up the table with her hands and feet.

Zhu Jinchuan watched the table clean up and sat back again.

Ling Li was a little surprised: "Thank you, Master." I'm full and ready to get to work. ”

"Hmm," Zhu Jinchuan replied with a word, placing a pack of wet wipes in front of her, "wipe your mouth clean." ”

Ling Li honestly cleaned herself up again, and raised her eyes to look at Zhu Jinchuan: "I'm fine, Master." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Jinchuan said another word, then spread out the notebook, and began to write and draw with a pen in his hand.

Ling Li waited for a long time before he could talk to her, so she had to shout cautiously, "Master? ”

Zhu Jinchuan was interrupted by her, and raised his head a little displeased: "What?" ”

"Isn't it about the case? It's time to go. Ling Li replied.

He sighed and shook his head, picked up the pen and tapped it on her head, "Why are you so stupid?" Can't you see that letting you in and say that the case is just an excuse? Have you eaten enough? When I'm full, I'll go out, I'll have a bunch of things in my hands. ”

"Huh?" Ling Li took a while to react.

Zhu Jinchuan rolled her eyes angrily: "I see that you are too full of food, so your brain is dull, and you can't even understand human words." I said, I have nothing to do here, you go out. ”

Ling Li was stunned, then stood up and walked out of the door a little stiffly.

However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she was suddenly stopped by Zhu Jinchuan and said, "When you go out, put on the lipstick, otherwise your colleagues will see you enter my office and the lipstick on your mouth will be gone, so how can you say it clearly." ”

Until the time of work, Ling Li was stunned.

She faintly felt that Zhu Jinchuan was very different from before these days. Not only does she take care of her at work, but she is also caring in her daily life.

Occasionally, there are vague words like the one just now.

In the past few months, she has often been entangled in breaking up with Nan Zhiyi, and she doesn't feel so obvious about Zhu Jinchuan's changes, but since Zhu Jinchuan returned that day and saw her crying like a fool in the rain, his concern was almost completely unconcealed, which made Ling Li a little at a loss.

It's really, a little too violent.

This made her a little frightened, and there was also a faint thought in her heart, which made her feel a little uneasy.

She was in a mess in her heart, and she instinctively wanted to find Lu Xiaoxiao for some ideas, but Her Royal Highness had already gone back to maternity leave, so it was naturally impossible to answer questions emotionally.

Ling Li tried to focus on the file spread out in front of him, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening a few meters away.

Zhu Jinchuan walked up to her with a briefcase in one hand and stopped.

Ling Li hung her head, a little afraid to look at him. However, there is no eye contact, and it does not prevent Zhu Dazhu from saying what he wants.

He said in a volume that happened to be heard by a few people around him, "Tomorrow is my birthday, can we have dinner together?" ”
