Chapter 351: Avoidance
With a groggy head, Ling Li sat on the bed for at least five minutes before slowly clarifying what had happened the night before.
That is - nothing happened.
It was already dawn, and under her body was 1802's bed, which was also the bedroom that Tian Zhengyan lent her to live in.
But how she got back here, she couldn't remember.
The night before, drinking and drinking, it seemed that she herself was drunk.
She hadn't drunk sixty-degree liquor before, but she didn't expect it to be so vigorous, and she knew that she shouldn't have been able to drink it under the stimulation of Nan Zhiyi's words.
She scratched her hair in frustration, her face wide open this time. I'm afraid that Nan Zhiyi thinks she is some kind of alcoholic drunkard, and he has a worse impression of her.
However, the fatal blow came when she went into the bathroom to clean up herself.
Ling Li looked at the face in the mirror that had taken off her makeup and turned into a panda, and wanted to cry without tears.
She looked like such a ghost last night, facing Nan Zhiyi?
Not to mention that people are not drunk, even if they are really drunk, they can be woken up by her dignity.
Annoyed, she took a cotton pad dipped in makeup remover and wiped off the camouflage eye makeup on her face, and the force was so great that her skin was red.
After being immersed in self-pity for a while, he suddenly noticed the mobile phone next to his pillow jumping, opened the screen lock, and saw Lu Xiaoxiao with more than a dozen messages asking about the progress.
Ling Li opened the WeChat terminal and replied with a string of symbols with a frown: "......"
Then typed: "I'm drunk, and when I wake up, I'll lie down in my room." β
Lu Xiaoxiao first sent a big yellow smiley face, and then asked, "How much did you drink?" β
Ling Li thought back to the last moment she remembered last night, and the empty wine bottle on the table was deeply impressed.
So he typed: "I don't know, the bottle is empty anyway." β
thought that Lu Xiaoxiao would comfort her a few words, but a few seconds later, Ling Li got the image she sent with a thumbs up.
After that, he sent a gloating voice: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I seem to have heard a rumor that there is a general helmsman in Funan University, President Xie, a professor of the School of Biology, and a professor Tian of the School of Law, these three people, no one has ever seen them drunk." β
Ling Li's eyes were scorched by thunder, and she grabbed her mobile phone and roared: "You know that you still told me to go!" I'm really lard, how can I believe you? What a drunken mess! I'm embarrassed this time! He's not drunk, I'm drunk like a puddle of mud! β
There was no response from WeChat for a long time, Ling Li gasped angrily, thinking that Lu Xiaoxiao was weak-hearted, who knew that a few minutes later she sent a lewd mushroom head, and then a slow voice: "I expected Frankenstein not to be disordered because of alcohol, but what did you do when you got drunk?" Have you ever occupied a good family of women and men? If you fall asleep, you will be said to be ashamed, and you will lose the lower half of your body there. β
Hearing her say it explicitly, Ling Li's cheeks were slightly hot.
However, he was still ready to maintain what little dignity he had left, and bowed his head and typed: "No, nothing, we are innocent." β
Her memory is very vague, she only remembers that before drinking the fragments, Nan Zhiyi didn't do anything, just sat at the table face to face with her, and ate the table of dishes cleanly.
Ling Li covered her forehead in annoyance - Lu Xiaoxiao, a dog-headed military advisor, tried her best to have bad ideas, she was deceived again and again, and she didn't learn her lesson, and she went to the doctor again and again.
The kobold military advisor wanted to continue gossiping, but Ling Li was already impatient to deal with her, threw away the mobile phone, locked herself at home, and indulged in a mood of shame and indignation.
It's just that after calming down for most of the day, she seems to have a slight impression about ......
It seems that someone asked her what bad things Nan Zhiyi did, and she seemed to have answered what Nan Zhiyi liked her and didn't say anything or something. Now that I think about it, where did the third person come from in the scene at that time?
Therefore, the one she thought was someone else when she was drunk was actually Nan Zhiyi.
In other words, she seems to have taken advantage of her drunkenness to confess?
The last place she remembered was on the sofa in his house. As for his appearance in bed the next day, he also carried her back?
Thinking of this, her cheeks couldn't help but flush, Xiaoxiao was right, Nan Zhiyi was not drunk, she was pretending to be crazy with wine.
After all, hiding is not a way, it is already a working day, and she should go to the report on it.
It was almost afternoon, and Ling Li finally packed up and went out, hesitating about how to deal with Lu Xiaoxiao's ridicule.
When I walked to the entrance, I heard the door on the other side, and there was also movement at this time.
Her heart suddenly beat faster, and the blood went up to the top of her head, and for a while, she was so nervous that she didn't know whether she should walk out generously at this time, or hide, and not see him for the time being until yesterday's embarrassment disappeared.
However, when she heard the familiar footsteps ringing in the hallway, she instinctively opened the door quickly, saw the thin figure standing in front of the elevator, and when she heard the sound on her side, she slowly turned her face sideways and glanced at it.
Ling Li pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, looking very weak-hearted, for fear that Nan Zhiyi would misunderstand that she was deliberately waiting for him to come out and create a chance encounter.
Stubbornly walked over, and said hello a little stiffly: "Morning, Mr. Nan." β
Nan Zhiyi stared at her strangely and said, "It's not early, it's almost two o'clock." β
"Oh," Ling Li said, "I woke up too late, and my concept of time was skewed. β
"Hmm." He replied lightly, nodded, and turned his face to look at the elevator again, waiting for the car to arrive.
In less than half a minute, the elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.
Stepping into the elevator, turning around, the two of them stood on the wall of the compartment one on the left and one on the right, and after that, silently watched the number fall from eighteen to one.
"Last night, I bothered you." Ling Li took several deep breaths, and when she spoke, she still sounded like a gnat.
"It's all right," he replied, "you're a light drinker, and drink less in the future." β
"Well," she nodded obediently, her face flushing involuntarily, "I remember." β
After that, looking at Nan Zhiyi's neat side face line, she bit her lip and asked him, "I didn't do anything strange last night, did I?" β
With anticipation and a slight sense of shame, she asked the sentence that had been brewing for a while.
Nan Zhiyi's attention seemed to be on the constantly changing numbers on the elevator panel, and his eyes were dark.
Ling Li pursed her lips nervously, waiting for his answer.
Seeing that the number jumped to "5", Nan Zhiyi glanced at her, and finally spoke, his voice calm and unwavering: "No." β
Ling Li was stunned. She thought that she would be ridiculed and teased by Nan Zhiyi, and even thought that Nan Zhiyi would be shocked when she saw her, but she never thought that it was such a simple word and such a detached gaze.
It's like seeing a passerby you you don't know, with a little defensiveness and indifference.
Looking at his calm expression, Ling Li's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished, and the words that had been brewing all morning were suddenly speechless.
She originally planned to make a mistake and use this courage to say what she missed him in her heart, even if he laughed at her for being unreliable, she admitted it.
It's a big deal, anyway, for the sake of Nan Zhiyi, her face has already been lost
Unexpectedly, he was so calm and breezy appearance.
Did he have no feelings for her at all? Or is her liking a burden to him, so he can act as if nothing happened?
Or, he knew it in his heart, but he needed her to clean up for him, so he pretended not to know anything to save some face for her.
She suddenly remembered the experience that she had been trying to avoid Sheker for the past two months.
She smiled bitterly, it was really retribution, she had failed the sincerity of others, and someone would immediately double the harm to her.
Nan Zhiyi didn't give her more time.
"You've arrived." He looked at the "1" displayed at the top of the panel, said, and quickly reached out and pressed "-1".
The elevator door opened, but Ling Li was almost stunned, motionless.
"Not leaving?" He pressed the door button on the elevator control panel and raised his chin outside, "I'm going to the underground parking lot." β
Ling Li came back to his senses, retracted his somewhat stunned gaze, and replied, "Then I'll go." β
She replied as she stepped out, listening to her footsteps echoing in the elevator, the heart that had been suffering from gains and losses and shaky had sunk to the bottom.
Is he drawing a line with her in this way?
Sure enough, that clichΓ© is very true, whoever is tempted first loses.
But she couldn't see the person behind her, and in the corner she couldn't see, the fire spread out of her eyes.
Watching her turn from pink to pale, watching the light in her eyes slowly dim, he almost chased after her.
Fortunately, reason prevails over animal instinct.
He involuntarily touched his slightly aching heart, sighed faintly, let go of the hand that pressed the key, and let the elevator close.
ββββββ
"Sister Ling, look at this passage, is it written wrongly? I felt as if I had written an extra 'no' that changed the meaning of the whole paragraph. β
Ling Li took the paperwork handed to her by her assistant, rubbed her eyebrows and put on her eyes, and the words in front of her changed from blurry to clear.
This is a defense statement that she stayed up late to make, and she had to submit it to the court in the afternoon, and she was afraid that she would make a mistake due to her lack of energy, so she handed it over to the assistant assigned to her by Zhu Jinchuan for proofreading.
This beautiful intern's surname is Min, as always, in line with the recruitment requirements of the Chengda Institute, twenty-four, a graduate student, who has just passed the starting point of the judicial examination, and took advantage of the summer vacation to come to the society to practice.
Assistant Min is still very conscientious, running around with her on hot days, often sweating so much that she has to make up three or four times a day without complaining, she is not squeamish, Ling Li is very relieved of her.
The sentence she pointed out, Ling Li read it twice, and her dizzy head finally became clearer, and she saw clearly that she was indeed mistaken.
If it is written that the disapproval of the relevance of a certain evidence and the case is written as the disapproval of the irrelevance of a certain evidence and the case, this clerical error is still not too big, and if there is such a mistake in the court's judgment document, it must be corrected to correct the typo.
She took a pen and crossed out the extra words, and handed the manuscript to Assistant Min, saying, "Please help me revise and print five copies." β
She replied sweetly, then turned around, her heels hitting the floor with a crisp and crisp sound, but she stopped after only a few steps.
Ling Li heard her footsteps stop, and was about to turn around and ask what questions she had, but she heard Assistant Min say with some surprise: "Ah, Director Zhu, you are back." β
Frightened, Ling Li quickly turned around and saw Zhu Jinchuan behind her, with his hands in his pockets, refreshed.
"You're back," she stammered a little, "why didn't you say anything to me?" β
Zhu Jinchuan walked up to her and smiled slightly: "If you don't make a surprise attack, how can you catch your tight fur?" As soon as I came back, I made a mistake, do you say that this is an accident or an inevitability? β
Ling Li was speechless, sure enough, she was unlucky enough, and she was always caught by Zhu Jinchuan when she made a mistake.
She is indeed a little impetuous, and she hasn't slept well after working overtime for many days, and the local phrase Zhu Jinchuan used just now can indeed describe her impetuousness.
