Chapter 44: Ling Xiao is angry
There was a torrential rain at noon on Friday, the roads were slippery, and there was a serious traffic accident in the second ring road, when the car rolled over and crashed into the green belt, causing a fire on the spot.
When Zhu Shan and Gu Xingchi arrived, a cordon was drawn at the scene, and the fire had been controlled by the fire brigade.
The driver escaped death, sitting on the curb of the road, his hands on his lap and shaking, apparently not recovering from the panic.
After filming the scene, Stephen Koo went over and had a brief exchange with the driver, and the driver accepted a brief interview.
According to him, his phone rang at that time, so he went to touch his mobile phone and was distracted, and when he looked up and saw a dark shadow approaching in front of him, he urgently stepped on the brakes and hit the steering wheel.
The flames jumped from the front of the car, and he got out of the car in time to save his life.
After the interview, Gu Xingchi looked back at the driver twice, expressing his disbelief.
Gu Xingchi lowered his head and whispered, "Where did the dark shadow come from in this broad daylight?"
Zhu Shan first observed her surroundings, and then walked to the middle of the road along the brake mark. She visually measured the height of the driver's seat of the car, and then after maintaining the same height, her gaze was tilted 45 degrees from right to left, and she could see the large branches branching out next to her.
It is estimated that when he looked at it in a panic, he regarded this branch as an obstacle.
Zhu Shan told the fire brigade about the hidden danger, and the captain of the fire brigade said that it would be solved.
Subsequently, they interviewed the captain of the fire brigade and the accident handler of the traffic police force.
After the interview was done, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
Zhu Shan realized that she had made an appointment with Mu Yu.
When Zhu Shan frowned and pondered, Gu Xingchi asked sensibly, "Are you in trouble?"
"I made an appointment, but I seem to be late."
"It's okay, you can go, I'll go back alone."
Zhu Shan was not worried: "Can you be alone?"
Gu Xingchi was not happy when he heard this, and patted his chest in fear: "Why can't I? I'll just hand in the information, and the machine can still make mistakes?"
Zhu Shan thought about it, and she was right.
"Okay, I'll invite you to dinner next week."
After saying goodbye to Gu Xingchi, Zhu Shan took a taxi to the restaurant.
Entering the city center from the East Second Ring Road, it is a Friday, so there is no traffic jam.
The closer you get to the city center, the more congested it becomes, and you can't cross the intersection even if you have a traffic light wheel three times.
Zhu Shan looked at her phone several times and then asked the driver to pull over.
Such a blocking method is not as fast as walking.
Hurry up, still ten minutes late.
Zhu Shan panted and apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior Mu Yu, I added a little extra class today."
"It's okay, you drink saliva first."
Mu Yu took the glass bottle on the table and poured water for Zhu Shan, and then handed it to her.
Zhu Shan took a few sips of the water glass, took a breath, and then began to look at the restaurant layout.
The restaurant has a high ceiling, hanging from the top of the bouquet of immortal flowers and flashing small lights, lighting against the wall lamp, the hollow lampshade prints a romantic pattern, the light is not bright, it looks warm and romantic.
The dining table is wooden, the seats are vintage sofas, and there are flowers and stars on the table.
Not far away is the stage area, where several young people play slow music.
Zhu Shan sighed, "This restaurant is amazing! Senior, you're amazing!"
Mu Yu looked at Zhu Shan's smiling little face, there was a hint of shame in his eyes, he lowered his head to adjust his mood, and cracked the corners of his mouth: "I ordered the chef's specialty dish, I hope you like it."
Zhu Shan held the cup and shook her head with a sweet smile, "I'm not a picky eater."
"Hmm." Mu Yu opened the topic, "Why did you become a reporter? I remember when you were a kid you said you wanted to be a writer."
So long ago...
Zhu Shan was a little surprised: "Do you remember?"
"Well, Ling Xiao took you away before, and you cried angrily."
"Hehehe." Zhu Shan smiled awkwardly and took two more sips of water.
She was embarrassed, firstly because it was not good to be remembered by others to cry, and secondly, because she felt a little weak when she thought of Ling Xiao.
Mu Yu continued to chat with her: "Are you reporters busy? I have to work overtime!"
"It's very busy, although our column group has a fixed time, but if there is news, we have to go on vacation, and there was a car accident on the East Second Ring Road today."
"I know, I've swiped several related videos." Mu Yu nodded, "I saw that the car in the video was burned to the bare rack, some people said that the driver was drugged, and some people said that it was a husband and wife quarreling and grabbing the steering wheel."
"......," Zhu Shan shrugged her shoulders, "No, it was the driver who was distracted by answering the phone, and this hit the green belt."
"That's right."
Zhu Shan nodded, her expression was very sincere, and began to say:
"I used to want to be a writer, but after becoming a journalist, I found that this profession is very rewarding."
"For example, today's incident, the short videos are all hearsay, and even add oil and vinegar, just to attract traffic."
"But we reporters just want to broadcast the truth to avoid panic among the public, and today's incident also interviewed the traffic police and fire brigade to convey to the public the precautions for driving in rainy days and the self-rescue guide in case of vehicle fire."
"Not to mention helping everyone, even if you can help one person, it is meaningful."
Zhu Shan's eyes were big and bright when she said this, and her innocent and beautiful appearance made Mu Yu's eyes red.
He lowered his eyes and said in a low tone, "Shanshan, you are so kind."
Zhu Shan was praised so bluntly that her little face turned red.
She waved her hand shyly, "No."
"Yes!"
Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment, and replied to the "sycophant": "Senior, you are a doctor, and this profession is more sacred."
Mu Yu smiled ashamedly.
Zhu Shan suddenly felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, but she didn't know which link went wrong, so she diverted the topic and asked Mu Yu about studying abroad.
The two chatted and chatted, and the delicacies were placed on the wooden table one after another.
Zhu Shan likes food, and when she says, "You're welcome," she begins to eat.
Mu Yu didn't eat much, and his eyes kept staring at Zhu Shan.
Zhu Shan saw everything, but felt embarrassed, so she pretended not to see it.
She felt a little bit on pins and needles, and felt that the food in front of her was overshadowed.
Mu Yu saw that Zhu Shan's eating speed slowed down, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, I haven't been able to let go of what happened back then."
「?」 Zhu Shan raised her little head and looked at him, gossip's eyes shining.
Mu Yu didn't dare to look at her, pretending to cut the food on the plate: "Actually, I should have called Ling Xiao here today, but I didn't have his contact information, I called him in the class group, and he didn't reply to me, the last time I met him in the hospital, his attitude ......."
He stopped talking and sighed.
Zhu Shan stared at her round eyes and chewed mechanically in her mouth: "He's here, he can't come."
"That's right."
Zhu Shan nodded, and suddenly there was a swallowing movement, and a whole piece of fragrant pear next to the meat platter was stuck on the trachea.
She rolled her eyes and tried to swallow it, but the feeling of being angry made her uncomfortable and made her unable to do anything.
Mu Yu didn't notice anything unusual, and still lowered his eyes: "When I meet you again, I am more determined to make up my mind, I must ...... you."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of a knife and fork hitting a porcelain plate.
Mu Yu looked up and saw Zhu Shan's face flushed, her eyes were covered with tears, one hand was covering her neck, and the other hand was beating her chest, looking very uncomfortable.
Mu Yu immediately stood up and even dragged down the cup on the table.
He pulled Zhu Shan up, hugged her from behind, pressed her abdomen with both hands, and lifted up the diaphragm one by one.
Zhu Shan's feet left the ground and landed again.
In the rush of that energy, I finally spit out the thing.
A stream of nausea-sick acid rushed into my throat, nauseous, and hot and painful.
She choked on her cough.
Mu Yu took the person in his arms and asked with concern, "Shanshan, are you okay?"
」
Ling Xiao saw this scene as soon as he entered the restaurant.
He took the flight to Yuhe at noon today, and the case was handled smoothly, of course, it was inseparable from the hard work of domestic colleagues, so their lawyer's office had a dinner, on the one hand, to celebrate, and on the other hand, to wash the dust for Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao received Mu Yu's message on the chat software, and he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
But Mu Yu sent another message later, saying that he also invited Zhu Shan.
In the afternoon, Ling Xiao couldn't give up, he thought it might be due to the time difference, and he was also thinking about whether to go home at night.
Ling Xiao took out his phone and found the chat page with Zhu Shan.
The latest news is still the two questions he sent, lying there alone, completely ignored by the person opposite.
Zhu Shan changed her avatar again.
Ling Xiao clicked on the big picture, which was the starting point of the triathlon, and in the center of the humanoid balloon, a white and tender hand was compared to a scissor hand.
When it was time to get off work, everyone's work was over, and Ling Xiao sent a dinner address.
It is a "Enjoy Music Bar".
He regretted it as soon as he finished it.
Almost front and back, Li Shang ran into the office and quipped, "Ling Lu, why do you still care about the dinner address?" This is delicious?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he spit out one word: "Near."
Indeed, it is less than a kilometer away from their law firm.
Ling Xiao didn't think that Zhu Shan would accept the appointment, after all, she had a serious face to swear, and even Mu Yu's friends wouldn't add it.
Therefore, at the scene in front of him, Ling Xiao's eyebrows were immediately infected with a yin owl, and a dangerous aura suddenly appeared.
Li Shang was the first to notice that something was wrong with Ling Xiao, and he was afraid of his shoulder: "Why don't you leave?"
Ling Xiao didn't react, and the cold glow under his eyes was wanton in the romantic dining bar.
Everyone followed his line of sight, and also saw the scene where Mu Yu half-hugged Zhu Shan, and then wiped her tears with a tissue.
Zhu Shan sniffed: "Ahem... All right... It's all right... cough cough cough ......"
Doctor Mu Yu asked twice, then picked up the water cup, fed it to Zhu Shan's mouth, and reminded, "Just drink a little, moisten it, take a small sip."
Zhu Shan was obedient and raised her head with her glass.
Suddenly, as soon as the arm was forced, Zhu Shan's body rotated 360 degrees and fell into an embrace.
Boiling hot.
There is also the familiar taste of cologne.
Zhu Shan's heart was stunned, and a sense of emptiness seemed to be overflowing, and a line of words floated in her mind: Am I arrested?
She clutched her small hands around her throat and looked up slightly to see the man's handsome face.
Sure enough, it was Ling Xiao.
Isn't he there?
It's back!!
Ling Xiao wore a loose and casual black shirt, with a slightly open neckline, which made the skin around his neck cold white, which added to the gloomy and unruly atmosphere in the dim light at the moment.
The lines of his side face were neat, and his dark and sharp gaze was like a knife, stabbing in Mu Yu's direction.
Zhu Shan's physiological cough: "Ahem, cough, cough... cough cough cough ......"
Sensing that something was wrong with Zhu Shan, Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and saw that Zhu Shan's cheeks and nose were red, and two lines of tears were drawn in the blink of his eyes.
Ling Xiao's eyelashes moved, and his eyes that looked at Mu Yu again were full of hostility, and he didn't hide it at all: "You. . . He. Mom said something?"
