I'm going to do it, not guilty plea!

Not Guilty Defense!!

Not Guilty, Defense!!

Zhu Shan's eyelashes trembled, and then let go of Ling Xiao's hand. She stared straight at his chest heaving from breathing, stunned for a moment.

Not a commutation defense!

It's innocent!

In the clear!!!

Zhu Shan couldn't accept what she heard. She blinked, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, and her tone was devoid of emotion, "Why?"

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, approached her, stroked her little face with his right hand, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips: "Shanshan, you go back to SJP first."

Zhu Shan raised her voice and cried, "Why?"

Ling Xiao looked at her, looking at her red and swollen eyes, he still relented.

"Well, calm down." He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against her forehead, rubbed it affectionately, and whispered to her for analysis, "I have been to the scene, checked the surveillance, seen the confessions of you and others, and also met Ren Xingyan. Now that the results from the forensic doctor have not yet come out, it is questionable whether the prosecution can initiate a public prosecution."

Ling Xiao sighed heavily: "Shanshan, even if the lawyer in this case is not me, it will be difficult to convict."

Zhu Shan wanted to be calm, and she wanted to listen to Ling Xiao's words and understand Ling Xiao's words.

But she couldn't, especially when she heard him say that he had been to the scene and had seen his confession.

Ling Xiao's warm palm rubbed her auricle and continued, "So, the result is the same whether you appear in court or not, you are obedient, okay?"

If you don't appear in court, the result will be the same?

How can it be the same?

Zhu Shan's mind suddenly flashed through Prosecutor Su's words.

- The other party is a very powerful lawyer, and he may induce you to change your confession through various means.

So, now is not to induce her to change her confession.

Instead of letting her appear in court?

After Zhu Shan had this awareness, her little hand pressed against Ling Xiao's shoulder and pushed the distance away.

"Ling Xiao, have you been to the scene? You've seen my confession too?" Zhu Shan asked in person, feeling the pain of her heart being dissected, as if she couldn't breathe, "So, you know what Ren Xingyan did to me, right?"

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes.

"So, you know I was almost drugged by him, almost ......" Zhu Shan looked at him and bit her lip slightly, "You know all of them, but you still have to help him?"

「......」

"Why? Ling Xiao, tell me why?"

「......」

"What do you get for taking on this case?" Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips and asked in a sad voice, "Money? Fame? Or is it something else I don't understand?"

「......」

Zhu Shan stepped back: "Ling Xiao, I don't believe it, I don't believe that you are such a person. I don't believe that the things you want have no other way to get them than to take on this case."

「......」

Ling Xiao's silence made Zhu Shan's whole body tremble, and she suddenly felt that the extremely familiar face in front of her was strange and terrifying.

But she still wanted to catch him.

"Ling Xiao, don't you like me very much, don't you like me very much? Haven't you liked me for so many years?" Zhu Shan couldn't control her emotions, she didn't know how to stop the "sense of loss" in her heart, she squatted down and hugged herself, her head buried in her knees, pitiful and helpless, "I know it's naïve to say these words, but I still want to ask, even if it's for me, can't it?"

After a few seconds of silence.

Zhu Shan raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao, although she didn't wait for his answer, she still made a very heavy decision: "Ling Xiao, I won't go back!" I'm not going! If you have liked me for so many years, then now I will pay you back! I'm with you! I'm not going to let you do such a thing! I can't let you regret it in the future!"

"I haven't liked you for years."

When Ling Xiao's words fell, Zhu Shan's breath was suffocated, and the hot sweat on her body instantly volatilized.

She's like a frightened bunny, small

His mouth was slightly open, his eyes were hollow, and he lost all autonomy in an instant.

Ling Xiao squatted down, looked at her and said calmly, "I only liked you after you came back, so you don't have to feel that I love you more, and you don't have to do these self-touching things."

Zhu Shan's thoughts came back and she heard Ling Xiao say, "I'll book you a ticket."

Zhu Shan stood up, a little swaying, but she didn't let Ling Xiao help her.

When she turned around, Ling Xiao saw the tears on her face that had been thrown away, crystal clear in the warm orange light.

Zhu Shan walked to the door of the room, turned sideways slightly, and said in a weak but firm tone: "I will definitely appear in court."

As the door closed, Ling Xiao took a long breath, and he turned to look out the window, which was a symbol of hope and a beautiful morning.

He sat on the sofa and grabbed his tie impatiently, but when he saw the pattern, he wrapped it around his palm warmly.

He leaned back and closed his eyes, thinking of the back of Zhu Shan just now.

He was used to seeing her back, and he was obviously used to her never looking back at him.

But this time, it hurt more than every time before.

If she had never loved him, he could have lived without her.

In the past, he thought that his love for her was unworldly, desireless, and desireless.

But she was just different from the past, small, and when she lost her temper with him, he began to wonder if she had different feelings for herself.

Even tossing and turning every night, in your eyes, have I become different?

Are you starting to like me?

It turns out that my love is also worldly, and it will want to reciprocate.

I thought I already loved you.

But when you really love me, really give me back.

My love began to grow day by day.

The love that you want also begins to be insatiable.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes slightly, looking at the mottled lights and shadows on the ceiling, he was born with unruly eyebrows and eyes, and at this moment he was also dyed with hypocritical anxiety.

Those who can't say sorry in front of her, can only whisper in their hearts.

Because I'm bad, because I'm not going any faster.

That's what makes you go through this.

It's that makes you sad.

I'm so sorry.

-- Six years ago --

Lingxiao dormitory.

The roommate patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder.

Ling Xiao ripped off his headphones, his eyes still staring at the computer screen, and his fingers quickly tapped the keyboard: "What's wrong?"

Roommate A: "Didn't Professor Yan say today that let's think about our career direction?"

Roommate B: "We're only sophomores, let's be early."

Roommate C: "What's it called?" It's called, giving you the opportunity to hesitate and regret."

Roommate A: "Ling Xiao, how do you analyze an excellent student like you, tell me about it?"

Ling Xiao sighed and pushed away the keyboard: "Dead again."

He turned, clasping his hands around his chest, "I don't have any ideas, I guess... The court or the prosecutor's office."

Roommate C suddenly gossiped: "Oh~ I heard that Shu Qiwen's dream is to be a prosecutor."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll go to the court."

Roommate B: "! Shu Qiwen is so good and beautiful, Ling Xiao, you don't have any ideas?"

Ling Xiao sighed, pulled the cushion behind him and threw it over: "You can beep me in the bedroom, don't go out and say it, people are girls after all." Besides, Shu Qiwen is not my type."

Roommate A: "And what do you like?"

Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "I haven't met it yet."

"Ling Xiao, are you really going to the court?" Roommate B pulls the topic back, "You don't even think about it, is it so casual?"

Ling Xiao wasn't interested in the topic, he turned around and started another game: "What's there to think about?"

Roommate A: "Then why did you come to our school?" Isn't it because I have had a righteous soul since I was a child?"

Soaring

He sneered, "The score is high."

As soon as these words came out, the back of Ling Xiao's arrogant head was served by cushions.

Ling Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his tone was casual: "As for me, I have a very obedient sister at home, when I was in my third year of high school, something happened to her family, and she had something to do with the law, and I didn't have any ideals, so I chose this casually."

I chose the university that caused the most headache and chose the major that caused the most headache. However, when he said this choice, it was like wandering around the vegetable market, and then he heard someone say "cabbage", and he didn't even hear anyone say what happened to the cabbage, so he took a cabbage with him.

Roommate A found some clues from Ling Xiao's words: "Sister? Isn't it my brother who usually calls you?"

"Oh." Ling Xiao dragged his throat, as if he had just remembered that he had a younger brother, and said casually, "That one is sent for phone bills, if you want to, I can give it to you."

Roommate A laughed twice, "I want my sister."

Ling Xiao snorted, "Sister, don't give it."

Thinking of Zhu Shan, Ling Xiao turned his head: "The dried fruit you bought last time was very delicious, where did you buy it?" I'll take some back on National Day."

Roommate A: "School supermarket, 2nd floor!"

Ling Xiao: "Thank you."

The day before the National Day holiday, there was no class scheduled in the afternoon, and Ling Xiao booked a ticket early.

It was only about four o'clock in the afternoon when he got home, and he sat on the sofa and squinted for a while, and then heard the sound of the key opening the door.

Immediately after, a tender scream.

Ling Xiao plucked his ears in disgust and turned around, "What are you yelling about?"

"Soaring... Brother, why are you back?" Zhu Shan's big eyes flashed, and she walked into the house without changing her shoes, her face was surprised and happy, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

"Tell you?" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Can you come and pick me up, or ......?"

His words suddenly stopped, and his gaze became fierce.

Zhu Shan followed his line of sight in confusion and saw the fried skewers in his hand.

She subconsciously hid behind her, and explained with a small mouth: "Ling Yue went to cosplay with his classmates, and if he doesn't come back tonight, I can't cook alone, that rice cooker is too big, and the bottom of a measuring pot can't be covered by one person."

"There are a lot of reasons! You don't know how to cook noodles? I said I can't eat these!" Ling Xiao stood up and added, "I don't like these smells."

Zhu Shan immediately turned around and rushed out the door: "I'll go out to eat, and I'll come back after eating!"

Ling Xiao: "......"

After a while, Ling Xiao walked to the window of the living room, snuggled there lazily, and looked out.

Under the clouds at sunset, on the side of the small road, a neighbor set up a wooden rattan chair.

Zhu Shan sat on the chair, her schoolbag on her lap, and while eating, she fanned the wind with her hands, her face was spicy and red.

Ling Xiao shook her head, she didn't understand why she was crying every time, and she still insisted on being so spicy next time.

Ling Xiao went out with his mobile phone, bought apple-flavored energy water at the convenience store next to him, and walked over and handed it to her.

Zhu Shan's eyes were crooked with a smile, and her tone was extremely well-behaved: "Thank you, Brother Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao stood next to him playing with his mobile phone, and his tone was light: "Ling Yue is going to play, why don't I take you?"

"I don't want to go." Zhu Shan gulped and drank several sips of water, her little face wrinkled, and her white teeth were clenched, "They, pretending to be ghosts."

Ling Xiao "cut" and teased her: "Coward."

Zhu Shan shook her head, and was a little proud: "What's wrong with girls being timid? I don't protect the world."

Ling Xiao glanced at her.

Growing up, timid, obedient, and soft and glutinous.

Strange cute.
