After all, today is Zhu Shan's birthday, and Ling Xiao got off work on time.

Although she ignored him, he still wanted to see her.

Ling Xiao parked the car on the side of the road in the community and watched her ride a small pink battery car into the community.

He didn't leave immediately, and took out his laptop to deal with business.

The sky gradually darkened, and a crescent moon rose.

The street lights are brighter than it, attracting bugs flying around.

Ling Xiao closed the computer, rubbed his eyebrows, and then stared sideways at the courier at the door of the community.

It didn't take long for Zhu Shan to trot out.

She wore a white shirt with a doll collar, a quilted knitted vest over it, light blue cropped jeans, and checkerboard canvas shoes on her feet.

She wore a high ponytail, her hair flicked around when she ran, and she looked pretty good.

Ling Xiao didn't hesitate, her slender fingers slammed at the car door, standing under the street lamp, her eyes moving with her.

He thought that if she glanced in his direction, the cakes and flowers in his car would be delivered.

But Zhu Shan didn't look in his direction, and after opening the express, she held the gift box in her arms and walked towards the community with her head down.

It's very different from the state she was in when she came out, and the high ponytail was lifeless.

Ling Xiao glanced sideways at the flowers and cakes in the back seat of the car, then crossed the street and followed Zhu Shan.

She didn't look up all the way, as if there were dark clouds on her head, and even accidentally fell at the door of the unit building.

Ling Xiao's expression froze, and he immediately ran over.

Zhu Shan had quickly gotten up from the ground and ran to the back of the unit building.

He followed, standing around the corner, listening to her uncontrollable sobs.

Ling Xiao's heart was gently tugged and dragged by the soft tone, he frowned, raised his hand to look at his watch, and then closed his eyes with his back against the wall.

He had a clock in his head, and the second hand was spinning "tick-tock".

He counted the time, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down faster and faster.

After about five minutes, he opened his eyes, looked up at his watch, and walked up.

Said strongly, but cried secretly.

How could he endure it.

Before Ling Xiao could get closer, Zhu Shan's crying stopped.

The sensor light came on, and he saw her sitting there with her head down, although she didn't make a sobbing sound anymore, but her shoulders twitched violently, as if she was trying her best to restrain herself.

He took the man into his arms, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Don't cry."

The man in his arms twitched again.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, and his tone was gentle that he hadn't even noticed: "My heart is flooded by you."

A cool breeze passed through the hall, bringing in a breath of osmanthus fragrance.

But the tip of Zhu Shan's nose was full of the smell of wood-toned cologne, and she unconsciously drilled into it.

Sensing her reaction, Ling Xiao hugged her tighter again.

Zhu Shan wanted to hug him, but restrained herself, and asked knowingly in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Look at you."

Zhu Shan got the answer she wanted, but she was not happy. She nudged him, "I don't want you to hug me."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and helped her to sit on the row of chairs.

He crouched down, lifted his hand to open the gift box, took out the diamond bracelet, and then took her hand and put it on her.

The backlight here, Ling Xiao is a little short-sighted, and he can't see clearly at the moment, so he is buried close.

He had no experience with bracelets, and it took him a while to fasten them.

After putting it on, he gently wiped the ash stains from her palm.

Just some gray stains, no broken skin.

Ling Xiao sighed, "Didn't you fall just now?"

"Nope."

Ling Xiao gently raised her little hand and shook it, and the diamond bracelet on her fair wrist was a little refracted: "I've picked it for a long time, do you like it?"

Zhu Shan's gaze turned to her wrist.

Then there was a soft "um".

Ling Xiao stretched out his hand, touched her cheek, and rubbed it gently.

He crouched there, looking at her from bottom to top, looking attentive and serious.

After a while, his thin lips rose slightly, "Happy birthday, Shanshan."

Zhu Shan is not happy!

But she still responded with a soft "um".

Ling Xiao let out a long sigh.

When they met, she still responded to him with only one word.

His tone was a little reproachful and complaining, but more regretful: "What about believing me?"

At this point, Zhu Shan raised her eyes and looked at him: "Ren Xingyan is going to be prosecuted by the procuratorate for intentional homicide."

Ling Xiao paused for two seconds, and his expression converged: "Yes."

"You're still going to be his lawyer?"

"Yes."

"You've never been defeated." Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips, "So Ren Xingyan ......"

Zhu Shan didn't say it thoroughly, and Ling Xiao didn't say anything.

But they know it.

Zhu Shan withdrew her little hand: "I went to the police station today, and the police said that the pill Ren Xingyan wanted to give me had no harmful ingredients."

She chuckled and sneered, "How can there be no harmful ingredients? It's just a dirty way to change the day."

Ling Xiao went to take her hand again, and called her helplessly, "Shanshan......"

Zhu Shan shook it off and said, "So, if he kills someone, you will also cover it up through abnormal means, right?"

Ling Xiao responded quickly, and his tone was serious: "No."

Zhu Shan hated this feeling of being in the clouds, she felt like a poor and unwelcome headless fly, with hard walls on all sides, and there was no way out.

Zhu Shan stood up and raised her right hand to untie the bracelet: "Villain."

The bracelet that Ling Xiao had only put on in a minute was untied by Zhu Shan in an instant.

She pinched her right hand and raised it to her ear, gesturing to throw it.

Ling Xiao stood up, took a step forward and pressed closer, blocking the light, and said coldly, "Zhu Shanshan, you dare!"

Zhu Shan's heart jumped suddenly, and her movements froze instantly.

Her eyes were hot, she lowered her eyes, and her full lips slowly pursed into a line, then pulled down.

She slowly lowered her hand, her gaze staring at Ling Xiao's toes, gradually blurring.

Seeing her like this, Ling Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and just stretched out his hand to say two soft words.

The next second, he saw her move her arm slightly, and the diamond bracelet was slightly thrown away and landed on his leather shoes.

Zhu Shan turned around and dropped a sentence with a crying voice: "Just dare."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, quickly bent down to pick it up, and chased after her to block it: "You calm down first, listen to me."

"You don't tell me anything, but you want me to listen to you." Zhu Shan stepped to the side, trying to jump over the human wall, "I don't want to hear it."

Ling Xiao: "Don't have a subjective concept, the judiciary has not made a judgment, you have a judgment in your heart, don't you think there is a problem?"

Zhu Shan didn't think about it: "I don't think so."

Ling Xiao raised his hand and pressed Zhu Shan's shoulder, and asked sharply, "Let me ask you, if a person commits crime A, can you send him to prison on charge of crime B?"

Zhu Shan: "......"

"Maybe most people will think that there is no problem, a bad person, no matter what crime he is charged, as long as he can be punished. But if that's allowed, won't the world be in chaos?" Ling Xiao saw that she had calmed down a little, the strength of her hand was reduced, and she said in a deep voice, "So, the law can't do it, and neither can I."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly and continued:

"Do you know why I wear my lawyer's badge every day?"

"I don't engage in this profession because I like it, I don't have the most basic belief in it, I am afraid that I will be lost on this road, because of desire or fame, so I take it with me, I always remind myself of the duty of a lawyer, the justice of the law."

"Ren Xingyan's culpability is not to kill people, so he can't be convicted of this crime."

"His illegal acts, one by one, will never be escaped."

Zhu Shan's anger was caught off guard by the sudden truth, but she was a reasonable person after all.

She felt that what Ling Xiao said made some sense, so she repeated his words in her head.

She could feel Ling Xiao's respect for the law, and she could also sense Ling Xiao's attitude towards Ren Xingyan.

Thinking of him preventing himself from investigating Han Xiao, plus the inextricable relationship between those people and the Indo-Japanese Group.

A spark suddenly flashed in Zhu Shan's head.

She grabbed Ling Xiao's clothes with her small hand, and said in an eager tone, "Is it related to what happened to my father back then?"

Ling Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Shan lowered her eyes, rolled her eyes, and said to herself: "Yes, if you think about it like this, it will be clear."

Her eyes lit up: "Ling Xiao, my father's business is related to the Indo-Japanese Group, right? You're investigating, aren't you? Possible... It can be dangerous, so you don't want me to get involved, do you?"

Ling Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.

Zhu Shan shook Ling Xiao's arm and wrinkled her little face: "You just tell me, yes or no, I promise to be obedient, and never ask anything else."

As she spoke, she held up three fingers and swore, "I promise!"

Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she urgently needed a defensible reason to understand all of Ling Xiao's current behavior.

Ling Xiao looked at her and took a deep breath, "Yes."

"Great." Zhu Shan instantly threw herself into Ling Xiao's arms and hugged him tightly, "I know, I know you, you are not that kind of person."

Zhu Shan's sudden reversal of attitude, Ling Xiao didn't react.

She was really happy, jumped twice, and looked up at him with a small face: "So my dad is really wronged, right? And then you've got an eyebrow, right? With that Han Xiao, and the Indo-Japanese Group......

Before Zhu Shan finished speaking, Ling Xiao clasped her waist and pressed it tightly, buried her head in her lips, and stopped her from a series of questions.

It works.

After Ling Xiao retreated, Zhu Shan stopped asking questions, and even began to shyly avoid her gaze.

Ling Xiao couldn't hold back, and kissed it lightly again before saying, "I swore not to ask more just now."

Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips, and then nodded obediently.

She still had the moisturization he created on her lips, and she hid in his arms with some embarrassment, and thought, "I don't ask, I don't ask."

"It's dangerous, I know, I won't mess with you."

"You're so powerful, I'm sure you'll be able to clear my father's innocence soon."

"You should have told me earlier......

Ling Xiao pushed the person in her arms away, reached out and pinched her plump cheeks, interrupting her: "Don't say it again! Don't think about it again! Wait for me to give you the results!"

Zhu Shan closed her eyes and nodded her head twice.

Ling Xiao was satisfied, took Zhu Shan into his arms, and gently pinched her earlobe with his fingers.

As soon as Zhu Shan's happiness passed, she remembered the tantrum just now.

And the bracelet that was thrown away, I don't know if it was picked up.

She quietly turned her head to look at the ground.

Ling Xiao: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay."

Her eyelashes were curly and long, and she couldn't hide her gaze wherever she went.

What's more, her heart is weak and her eyebrows are dyed, as if she is afraid that others will not be able to see it.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and his palm was on the back of Zhu Shan's head, he was not angry at all, and even felt that she was really well-behaved, and her tantrum was also very good.

However, he raised his eyebrows and teased, "You just had a big temper."

Zhu Shanhuan's hand on Ling Xiao's waist trembled, and she simply closed her eyes: "...... No, it's a slippery hand."

"I'm scared."

Zhu Shan scolded shamelessly in her heart, can she scare him?

Scolding in the heart is scolding in the heart, and the surface work still has to be done well.

She rubbed her head in Ling Xiao's arms, "You just think it's a dream."

Ling Xiao: "......"

"In my dreams, I was a brutal girlfriend."

Ling Xiao snorted lightly: "Girlfriend, friend?"

Two words bite very hard.

"......" Zhu Shan's cheeks instantly burned, her lips pressed against his heart, and she whispered, "Savage, wife."

As soon as she said this, she clearly felt Ling Xiao's chest trembling lightly and laughing.
