94. Have you taken up the defense of domestic violence?

Fan Yue was blowing her hair with a hair dryer after taking a shower, the mobile phone by the pool vibrated and the screen lit up.

It's Zhou Mo's phone.

She took Zhao Jiaxi home, and as soon as she entered the door, she didn't hold back and wanted to vomit......

After she finished vomiting, Fan Yue wiped her face for others, changed her clothes and settled on her bed, only to realize that she was full of the greasy smell of fermented wheat.

It's the beer that spilled after the walnut was hit by someone.

immediately took off his coat and hurriedly showered himself, so he forgot about the agreement with Zhou Mo.

Fan Yue knocked on her brain, put away the blow and walked to the living room to pick up the phone, her tone was full of apologies, "Sorry, something happened to me." ”

After listening to the man sitting on the sofa on the other end of the phone, his sword eyebrows twisted, "What's wrong?" ”

"Zhao Jiaxi had an awkward quarrel with her boyfriend, drank too much in the bar, and asked me to pick her up, and then I was in a hurry to get her back first. Something happened suddenly...... Forgot to talk to you. ”

"Nothing happened, right?"

Fan Yue looked at a garbage bag by the door, which contained her clothes today, and she didn't plan to ask for it, "Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that someone spilled a body of wine and just took a shower." ”

"But...... Jessica sleeps with me tonight, and I may not be able to get there. ”

Ben and Zhou Mo said okay, and they would go to him after dinner with their colleagues. Tonight, there is a New Year's Eve themed fireworks show by the Pujiang River, and his apartment in Jianglan Yipin is an excellent viewing spot.

There was silence, "Then you take care of your friends." ”

"Hmm."

Fan Yue glanced at the time, there were still five minutes to ring the New Year's bell, and this year would become an inconspicuous number in history.

She picked up the small blanket on the couch and draped it over and pushed open the balcony door.

It was early winter, and the air was damp and cold, setting off the bright lights of thousands of homes in front of you very clearly.

Fan Yue propped her elbows on the balcony railing and said coquettishly, "There are four minutes left before the new year, and I can also see the Pujiang River from the crack of the building, let's watch the fireworks together on the phone, right?" ”

Zhou Mo responded with the word "good", and hung up the phone on the other end of the phone.

Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking that the signal was not good, and dialed it back again, but it was displayed in the busy line.

Seeing that the time jumped to 11:59, although she was not a person with a particularly strong sense of ceremony, if she missed this zero point of mutual blessings, she still felt a trace of loss in her heart.

Just as I was about to call back again, a video call came.

The man looked at the dark night on the screen with a few neon lights and said softly, "Turn the camera." ”

Fan Yuegang took a shower and her hair was still messy, so she reluctantly did it, brushing away the broken hair in front of her and caressing her cheeks, "I'm so ugly now." ”

"What do you look like I haven't seen?" Even though the light was unclear, he could still see her sleek little face in the faint outline, and the man laughed.

A number of office buildings across the river, the outdoor large screen has been marked with a huge countdown, the viewing point not far downstairs is crowded, and the sound of people counting down in unison is becoming more and more neat and loud when entering the 30 seconds.

β€œ6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1——”

"Happy New Year!!"

"Happy New Year, Fan Yue."

"Zhou Mo, Happy New Year."

The first wave of fireworks to open the theme show rose into the sky, suddenly exploded in the night sky, and the golden light of the stars bloomed magnificently before it was shattered.

Although Fan Yue couldn't see the extreme scenery in front of Zhou Mo's eyes, she also felt the festive taste brought by the fireworks in the distant sky, and the atmosphere of the festival always warmed people's hearts with healing.

"Zhou Mo ......"

"Huh?"

"I miss you a little."

*

On the first night of the new year, Fan Yue spent it on the sofa.

The small sofa was so uncomfortable that she slept very lightly, and the next morning she woke up just after dawn and the first touch of daylight.

He yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes with tears.

got up and went to check on the people in the bedroom first, and seeing that Zhao Jiaxi was breathing steadily and sleeping deeply, Fan Yue changed her clothes and went out for a morning run.

Maybe it's the mental effect, even if she runs on the cold street just after the New Year, she inexplicably feels that the Spring Festival is gradually approaching.

After four years of living a Spring Festival in a foreign country without a New Year's flavor, for Fan Yue, there is a long-lost expectation in her heart.

She packed two wontons at the breakfast stall selling rice rolls next to the apartment, and when she got home, Zhao Jiaxi heard movement and walked out of the bedroom.

This was the first time she went to Fan Yue's new apartment, and when she woke up in an unfamiliar bed, she was sore in a lady's pajamas, and Zhao Jiaxi subconsciously thought that she had been last night.

Seeing that it was Fan Yue, she was shocked at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The drunk man naturally slept not calmly, and looked tired, "I ...... last night What's wrong? ”

Fan Yue put breakfast by the bar and glanced at her lightly, "Drink and hang, don't remember?" ”

"I remember to call you, and I can't remember it after that......" Zhao Jiaxi rubbed his temples that were jumping suddenly because of the hangover, "Do you have any painkillers at home, get me one." ”

Fan Yue took the spoon and handed it to her, "After buying the wonton stew, you eat it first, and I'll go get you the medicine." ”

She took the ibuprofen bottle from the bathroom and sat down beside Jiaxi, waiting for her to finish eating and get straight to the point, "Explain it yourself, what happened last night." ”

Zhao Jiaxi seemed to be turning his brain back on, and after a while he spoke in a dumb voice, "Last night, Yao An flipped through my phone when I went to the toilet, and I saw the WeChat chat history between me and Yuan Bai. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Then he suddenly went crazy. You know, he's just another guy when he's grumpy, and I didn't bother to argue with him and ran out and went to the bar. ”

Zhao Jiaxi said vaguely, and he had some scruples in his heart, and he couldn't let go of his face and explained lightly.

But Fan Yue still pierced her, "It's been so many years, he won't even give me a good face when we come out to play, won't I know Yao An's perverted possessiveness?" But he is good to you, and only you are true in his eyes, I will not deny that. ”

"But you can find me if you quarrel, why do so many bars run to walnuts? What the hell is going on with Yuan Bai now, will make Yao An go crazy? ”

There was even some harshness in the straightforward tone of her question, and Zhao Jiaxi opened her mouth and said nothing.

Fan Yue put down the spoon in her hand and waited patiently.

The apartment was quiet for a long time, and Zhao Jiaxi felt Fan Yue's gaze staring at her in her spare light, "I was dizzy one day before, and I sent him a selfie after taking a shower," paused, "I don't have any clothes." ”

Fan Yue subconsciously blurted out the words "I rely on".

What surprised Zhao Jiaxi was not that she sent private photos to Yuan Bai, but that she dared to send private photos to Yuan Bai under Yao An's nose.

Looking at Fan Yue's shocked face, Zhao Jiaxi laughed contemptuously. She can say it honestly, and she is naturally not afraid of being judged by Fan Yue, "So what?" You say Yao An is good to me? Do you think he's really good to me? Is that good for me? He just possessed and controlled me, and I was very depressed every day with him now. The most relaxing moment of the day is when he goes out to work in the morning, and the most anxious mood is when he comes home from work. ”

"I'm so sick of seeing him now, do you know how nervous he is? WeChat didn't reply within five minutes, and a phone call came immediately, and he was going to come in to check after I took a shower for more than ten minutes," she said as her mood became more and more unstable, and she grabbed Fan Yue's hand excitedly and shook it, "I read books and watch dramas in the bedroom, and he didn't let me go, and he called my name outside the house every five minutes, and if I didn't reply, he would call him until I replied to him." I'm almost annoyed by him every day now! ”

"Really, I'm very unhappy and depressed now, and every day when I wake up and see him, I feel like I'm going to be out of breath......" Zhao Jiaxi said excitedly, and his emotions were out of control, and he couldn't help but raise his foot and kick the bar.

Fan Yue used to only know that Yao An had a strong desire to control, but she didn't expect it to come to this point. She couldn't imagine what kind of abnormality and manic depression Jiaxi was going through in her heart, but all this sounded morbid and depressing.

"That'...... Why not break up? ”

"You think I don't want to? I can't tell it! As soon as I mentioned breaking up, he either blocked the door and didn't let me go, or knelt down to apologize," Zhao Jiaxi said and closed his eyes painfully, and the picture of Yao An kneeling and hugging her for mercy flashed in front of him, frowning and laughing helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "It's not that I don't love him, I talked to him many times and begged him not to pester me like this anymore, and he promised that it would be good for me to change every time." Every time I relented and agreed to be with him, I gave him a chance to mend his ways, but what were you waiting for?? What I'm waiting for is just getting worse again and again! ”

"Fan Yue, Yao An's love is too deformed, I'm really afraid that he will stand in front of me with a knife next time and threaten me with self-harm."

*

Fan Yue naturally couldn't let Zhao Jiaxi go back to the apartment where she and Yao An lived together. When Zhao Jiaxi went to take a shower, she called Jason over.

Jason blocked the bathroom door with his hands on his chest, and as soon as Zhao Jiaxi came out, he asked, "So what are you going to do now?" ”

Zhao Jiaxi didn't expect Jason to come out of the bathroom again, and pushed him out of the bathroom sideways with a little displeasure, and said coldly, "I don't know." ”

"What do you mean I don't know?" Jason's temper is not as good as Fan Yue's, and he directly dragged people to the ground and scolded them, "Yao An is a pick-up artist, okay?" This kind of scum doesn't break up, do you really plan to keep it for the New Year? ”

Zhao Jiaxi also lost his temper and shook it off without thinking about it, "Heh, come on, what about Pickup-Artist?" Jason: How often do you change boyfriends a year, it's almost ten this year, right? There are no less than twenty people who maintain a relationship with friends, what's wrong with me chatting with Yuan Bai? What the are you pretending to be here to educate me? ”

β€œJessica!” Fan Yue didn't expect Jason to speak so violently as soon as he came up, Zhao Jiaxi's brain was also dizzy, and he directly distorted people's words into Jason accusing her of cheating, and the two best friends who knew the bottom didn't know what else to say to hurt each other, so they hurriedly stepped forward and pulled people away, "Jason is that he didn't say anything about Yuan Bai at all!" He's a little cheap, but we're all worried about you, and you know he doesn't mean that! ”

"Tsk, Fan Yue, why are you still so simple? Speak like a schoolboy? Isn't that what it means? Then I didn't mean to kill someone by mistake, police. Can't catch me? Also, when Su crucian carp could P you back then, if I hadn't stopped you with your IQ, maybe the children would have given birth to several by now! ”

Zhao Jiaxi's mouth couldn't be sealed at all, and anyone who stepped forward at this time could only become cannon fodder for her bombardment.

"We're all half a pound and eight taels, and no one is more noble than the other!"

"Bang-"

The door of the apartment was slammed slammed shut, and Fan Yue didn't even think about chasing it out, but was pulled by Jason.

"What do you care about this kind of person?" Jason pulled the man back and yelled, "You treat her as a friend, what does she treat you for?" She always treats you as a foil by her side, okay? Do you really think that she stopped you from going to Su Crucian Fish for your own good? ”

Fan Yue still had a huge sound of the door closing in her head, and she was a little tinnitus, "You...... What do you mean? ”

"Oh, I went to a party two days ago and met someone, that person happened to be Su Crucian Carp's junior roommate, and he told me that he had seen Zhao Jiaxi in their apartment more than once before."

Fan Yue opened her mouth, "So...... This? ”

"Fan Yue, are you stupid? Do you still share your journey with her as her best friend? Zhao Jiaxi and Su crucian carp had a leg when they were in college, okay?! ”

"Didn't you say that you met a woman during a trip to Lhasa, and then the party brought Su crucian carp and said that the two were dating?"

"Ren Yao?"

"That's right," Jason laughed disdainfully, took out his phone and opened a screenshot of Moments, "Don't you usually look at WeChat?" This screenshot was sent to me by a friend of mine. ”

Screenshot of Jason's circle of friends on the screen, and she recognized Ren Yao as the avatar.

A 500-word essay accuses Su of cheating, and also attaches screenshots of various WeChat chats. She couldn't see the specific picture clearly, but she still recognized the last small picture of Jiugongge at a glance, it was Zhao Jiaxi's WeChat avatar.

Jason looked at Fan Yue's calm face and finished reading the text, was slightly stunned after seeing the picture, and finally closed his eyes and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Let's smoke a cigarette."

……

There were two small chairs on Fan Yue's balcony, she lit a cigarette and sat down on her knees to turn on her phone, only to find that she had blocked Ren Yao before, and after canceling it, she saw the news that had not been deleted in her circle of friends. It was Jason who gave her the picture.

Click on the first screenshot, which is a record of Zhao Jiaxi and Su Crucian fish's chat. She didn't look at the next one, and pressed her finger on the side of the phone to lock the screen.

sighed.

"It's so annoying, this is the first day of the new year, and the start of the year is not smooth." She chuckled and even had a hint of teasing.

Jason was a little surprised to see her calm face, "You're not angry?" ”

If Zhao Jiaxi hadn't spoken out today, Jason wouldn't have told her about Zhao Jiaxi and Su Crucian Fish having a leg.

"What's there to be angry about, it's all in the past," Fan Yue twisted her neck, stretching her tense muscles, "Besides, who doesn't make mistakes when they're young, it's not that I don't know that Su Crucian is so virtuous, but I didn't expect it...... You say I'm stupid to take a fancy to him, but Jessica actually does. ”

"So what? Are you still glad that she also fell in love with the scumbag you fell in love with? Her understatement seemed to Jason to be an escape, "Zhao Jiaxi has treated you like this, don't you plan to break up your friendship?" ”

Fan Yue doesn't dare to love and hate as much as Jason, and she always thinks too much in her head, "No matter what her purpose is, she wants to fall in love with Su Crucian Fish." I still have to thank her for not letting me sink deeper into Su crucian carp. It's not a mutual enmity. In the future...... If she doesn't look for me, I won't pay attention to her. ”

In her opinion, the best solution is to fade out slowly, rather than tearing the skin.

Jason rolled his eyes and spat out a puff of blue-white cigarette, and said two words unpleasantly, "Coercion." ”

*

Fan Yue is not cowardly. It's just that the psychology is not that strong.

Isn't she disgusting? I fell in love with the same man as my best friend, and I was played like this by two people who had really put it into it, of course I felt disgusting.

But what now?

Since she has chosen a carefree way to live, what Fan Yue really cares about now is to live happily.

Unlike Jason, who takes the process of tearing up as fun and the result as a trophy. Often this kind of person recovers quickly, and all the past after the passage of time has only become a topic of conversation.

Her heart can't be so calm, and since that's the case, she will eliminate the occurrence of conflict from the root. If it is unavoidable, she will also selectively forget.

Always doing this, she found that it seemed that no matter whether it was good or bad, it didn't leave too many marks in her heart.

Everything is gradually just a passing thing in her eyes, and it is no longer important.

On the first day of work in the new year, the first item on the calendar was the meeting of the Canxing listing case, and she was preparing materials when Joy told her that the formal meeting would be postponed to the afternoon.

"What's the situation?"

"You don't know? Lawyer Zhou didn't tell you? Joy was a little surprised, "The conference room on the 50th floor is filming the show for the material." ”

"Huh?"

Joy saw that she was really ignorant, and the gossip in the entertainment industry was online, "You really don't know?" Didn't Zhou Zheng record "Workplace Newcomers Seeking Livelihood"? The IPO listing case of Canxing happens to be a good case material, and our bank has recently begun to take the traffic route and Shanghai to grab the credit card market? Fortunately, there is such a program publicity, and the senior management agreed to record the program team for a few hours before the official meeting begins. Of course, there are scripts that are well designed. It's impossible for an intern to be a real secret. ”

When the formal meeting began, Fan Yue paid attention to it, there were indeed no cameras, and Zhuo Zheng attended the meeting as always.

After a few months of due diligence, although it was revealed that Jia Manling's reputation was damaged in stealing the E family's dress, and he was finally sent abroad for further study, Jia Shan finally joined Canxing Entertainment.

After the meeting, Zhuo Zheng saw her and teased her as usual, "Sister Hand Xiang is amazing, Zhou Dashao didn't kick me when he was in a bad mood recently, and directly let me cut my meat." ”

He was referring to Dabin's purple clay pot when he was taken away on Christmas Eve, without a preface and afterword, Fan Yue naturally didn't know what he was referring to, but it was the other party's habitual teasing.

Fan Yue was actually a little expecting Zhou Mo to appear, but she was a little disappointed when she didn't see him, and she rarely took the initiative to answer, "What about Zhou Mo?" In a law firm? ”

"No, he has a trade case and went to the imperial capital, and he could have come back tomorrow, but something happened to Langyi, and it may take a few days to get out of Shanghai."

"In a few days?" Fan Yue replied casually, "Is something wrong?" ”

After she asked Zhuo Zheng, she realized that something was wrong, Zhou Mo didn't tell Shou Xiangmei when he went to the emperor this time?

Since Zhou Mo didn't say that Zhuo Zheng naturally wouldn't talk much, he looked at the girl's blank expression and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, the case that the institute just took over, he will deal with it in the imperial capital by the way." ”

*

Fan Yue didn't have the habit of swiping through the circle of friends, and a few days later, she received a call from Jason at the airport, only to learn why Zhou Mo stayed in the imperial capital for a few more days.

After Zhao Jiaxi was subjected to domestic violence by Yao An, she did not contact her, did not contact Jason, but just posted a set of photos of evidence after being subjected to domestic violence by Yao An in the circle of friends, and found a lawyer who said that he would sue to the end.

Zhou Mo was wearing a black windbreaker, pushing a silver suitcase and walking out of the exit door, and at a glance he saw a petite figure by the railing.

I realized that I hadn't seen her for a week, and although it looked a little strange in my eyes, my body felt a feeling of missing.

He quickened his pace and walked in front of her, let go of his luggage and hugged the person in his arms, but the kiss that leaned down and lowered his head fell on the corner of his lips.

Fan Yue tilted her head slightly to dodge.

The man sensed the strangeness of her emotions, "What's wrong?" ”

Fan Yue bit her lip, and there was an indescribable emotion in her heart.

The precious sisterhood and girlfriend friendship in her eyes didn't seem to be worth mentioning at all in Zhao Jiaxi's eyes, and she didn't even know what she cared about at the moment.

But the annoyed and depressed mood just couldn't get rid of it, and he looked up at Zhou Mo, "Did you take Yao An's defense of domestic violence?" ”
