"Xiaobei is home alone, is it okay?" Tan Man hurriedly followed.

"No problem, he usually sleeps until dawn."

The car drove out of the community, and she saw the security guard who had stopped her that day, and saluted in their direction, and Gu Mochen also nodded at him through the car window.

Remembering a news item discussed in the office during the day, the security guard was complained about not saluting the leader's car, and was fined and deducted wages, at this moment, she suddenly realized that people are really betrayed by details.

It's just a casual little action of bowing slightly, which just tests a person's quality and demeanor, some people take it for granted, and some people treat each other politely and politely.

Tan Man glanced at him secretly, curled the corners of his lips and turned his head to look at the neon outside the window.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Manman was shocked, he is not a lawyer, and his ability to observe words and emotions has reached the peak.

"It's nothing, I just think you're pretty good!" She didn't hide it, she told the truth.

"Because it's sending you home?" Gu Mochen asked while driving.

Tan Man pouted, rolled her eyes, and looked like a naughty little girl: "Oh, if you count this, then you can add another point." ”

"Rated me back?!"

"Hehe, doesn't every company like to strive for the title of best employer or something."

"And how many points do I get?"

She smiled and said, "Please, these are anonymous voting scores, how can any employer ask for it himself!" ”

Gu Mochen secretly laughed at himself, and at the moment when he asked, he, a thirty-year-old man who had been crawling in society for many years, was like a hairy boy of seventeen or eighteen, and he looked forward to it.

The city is bright and bright, Gu Mochen is holding the steering wheel, looking at the familiar street scene, tonight, it seems that there is no dullness in the past.

"You're twenty-three?!"

"Well, what's wrong?"

He didn't answer, a meaningful smile on his face.

"Are you usually busy at work?"

The tone of his questioning was like the momentum of an elder, Tan Man wondered, isn't he a few years older than himself, how can he be so mature that he doesn't look like people of the same generation.

She shook her head: "My job can't be described as busy, huh...... It is a pressure type. ”

"Oh? Sounds more thrilling than a lawyer. ”

"It's a frightened bird!" She said.

"Those kids are hard to deal with?"

"How can it be called a counter, they are not enemies!" Tan Man corrected without thinking.

"Sorry, professional habits!" Gu Mochen glanced at her indignant appearance, couldn't help laughing, and his voice softened a few degrees unconsciously.

Of course, Tan Man didn't mind, and continued: "Because their bodies are disabled, different from ordinary children, they are more sensitive and fragile, a casual expression or an unintentional word will make them linger, and a large part of them are children with normal minds, so we must be careful." ”

"Actually, I don't think you need to be overprotective, life tribulations are everywhere, and being strong is a more deserving character for them, just like Xiaobei, I won't deliberately accommodate him."

"Xiaobei is much better than them." Tan Man said, "If your relatives or lovers have physical disabilities, you won't be so relaxed." ”

"Impossible!" Gu Mochen replied categorically.

"Huh?"

"My only relative is Xiaobei, and I will never find a lover with physical defects." Gu Mochen said firmly, his eyes kept falling on the road in front of him, and he didn't notice a trace of strangeness on Tan Man's face.

After a few seconds of silence, she smiled perfunctorily: "Well, so, you can't empathize." ”

"I don't have to empathize!"

Tan Man is a little sad, even if it has been six years since she lost her hearing, even if she is no longer a child, but she is not a person who wears a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt all day long, she is nakedly excluded and discriminated against, and her little heart is inevitably hit.

At this time, it happened that the phone rang, and she took it out of her bag and put it in her left ear.

"Qiao Ning, what's wrong?!"

"Now?!" She glanced at Gu Mochen, who was driving, "Okay, then you wait for me for a while." ”

Seeing her hang up, he asked, "What?" ”

Tan Man hesitated for a moment and said, "Lawyer Gu, you can just put me down at the intersection in front." ”

"Where to go, I'll send you there."

"It's okay, it's not on the way, the subway hasn't stopped yet, I'll just transfer to the subway."

"It's not a good way to send you home."

"......" Tan Man was speechless, "Eh, then go to Changfeng Park, I'm sorry for you." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, after the topic just now ended without a problem, Gu Mochen felt that her tone of voice was a little detached.

The car stopped at the gate of Changfeng Park, and Tan Man politely thanked him and said goodbye.

He watched her unbuckle her seat belt, open the car door, her back was slender and petite, like a student going to school, as soon as she got out of the car, she was drowned in the evening breeze after autumn, a few strands of shoulder-length hair were blown on her cheeks, for a moment, he wanted to call her, but after calling her, what did he want to say?

She gave him a smile through the car window, and it was the kind of unsuspecting, simple smile that came from the heart.

After all, he still asked: "It's so late, how are you going to go home in a while?" ”

"This is my friend's house, I'm staying here tonight, tomorrow isn't Saturday, we'll all rest."

"Hmm!" He restarted the car and prepared to leave.

"Lawyer Gu, drive carefully, goodbye!" She waved at him.

Watching the car quickly merge into the traffic, Tan Man breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and walked towards Qiao Ning's apartment.

Knowing Qiao Ning can be regarded as fate.

In her sophomore year, because of a hearing aid problem, she went to the city doctor for the first time to change, and the doctor she saw at that time was Qiao Ning's brother, Qiao Sen, and Qiao Ning was only a sophomore in the nursing department of the medical university at that time, and the scene of their first meeting was that she was pestering Qiao Sen to ask for a call from a new male doctor in their hospital.

Originally, it was Tan Man's turn, but she was forced to insert a kick, causing her to wait at the door for a while, and in the process of waiting, because the hearing aid failed, so when she couldn't hear it, she was suddenly pushed out of the corner and knocked to the ground by the stretcher car that didn't stop her feet.

For this reason, Qiao Ning was reprimanded by Qiao Sen for a while, but by mistake, the two girls became good friends.

Qiao Ning is a person who puts love first, once she falls in love, she is like a moth to a fire, and she is unconditionally good to each other, so she is often hurt in love, fortunately, she is optimistic by nature, super resilient, and always has the best expectations for love after being hurt N times.

Under the street lamp, Qiao Ning appeared wearing a wide baseball T, not looking like an angel in white at all, but like a street model who plays literature and art.

"Manman, I found a delicious Malatang yesterday, clean and delicious, let's go!" As soon as Qiao Ning saw Tan Man, he ran and rushed over, pulled her up, turned around and strode forward.

"You're the one who brought me to have supper?!" Tan Man was a little speechless, "I just advised others not to drink at night." ”

"It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, indulge once, and say that spicy tang is not a drink."

"Spicy hot poisonous drink!"

"What are you afraid of, I'm a cute and professional little nurse, besides, and my brother is there, if you have a painful brain fever, he will appear in front of you in an instant, even if he is studying in Beijing now." Qiao Ning squinted and smiled at her, instantly breaking Tan Man's defense, Qiao Ning was born with a charm that made her obey her.

"Don't make fun of me and your brother." Tan Man sternly warned.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it!"

When he entered the store to order food, Tan Man said domineeringly: "I'm in for tonight's Malatang, and I recently found a high-paying part-time job." ”

"No wonder you've been saying lately that you're not available, tutor?"

"A counselor for a young boy with autism." She took the plate and selected the skewers, and gestured to her with some smugness, "The monthly salary is 20,000 yuan." ”

Qiao Ning stopped what he was doing and exclaimed, "Wow, aren't you a little rich woman?!" ”

"It can really speed up my process of going to graduate school." Tan Man smiled.

"A monthly salary of 20,000?! The other party is a rich family. ”

"He's a lawyer, and he seems to be quite famous in the industry." Tan Man handed the selected ingredients to the boss and found a seat to sit down.

Qiao Ning sighed: "Hey, I used to think that God was unfair, but after working in the hospital, I felt that God was quite fair, and in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, rich people can't do anything." ”

"Yes, my dad used to say that life doesn't owe anyone, as long as you have a fiery heart. It's right to think about it, even if I am deaf, I can still sit in the Malatang shop, listen to your love and hatred, and listen to the voices of the people in this stall, life is still very beautiful. ”

"Manman, do you know, I once asked my brother, what is the mini, do you know what he said, he said, you have a crystal heart, can reflect all the light, make people full of hope, even if life makes you fall into a deep haze, you can always turn into a little sun, shine, light the front." Qiao Ning said seriously.

Tan Man smiled: "Is Qiao Sen writing an essay?!" ”

"I think he just jumped into your pear vortex desperately and didn't want to climb out, and when my brother comes back from his studies next month, you can accept him." Qiao Ning shook her arm and persuaded her, "He's thirty years old, my parents are urging marriage, besides, if you marry my brother, we will kiss each other, isn't it?" ”

"......" Tan Man had nothing to say.

She didn't know what day and moment she was attracted to Qiao Sen, although she had no experience in love, she knew that there was something missing between her and Qiao Sen, so she couldn't nod firmly. Maybe it's less than what Qiao Ning once said, blindness and impulsiveness towards love.

In the face of Qiao Sen, she is always very calm and rational, and she does not hesitate to even refuse, but the other party always selectively ignores and stubbornly insists.

But in this world, not all persistence is meaningful.
