After the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa, each holding their own mobile phones.

Zhu Shan's eyes drifted left and right, feeling that the current atmosphere was a little weird, but she couldn't say it.

When her gaze drifted to the left again, she met Ling Yue's peeking gaze.

... It's really weird!

Ling Yue put down his phone and looked at Ling Xiao, as if he finally couldn't help it: "Brother, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

Zhu Shan turned her head mechanically and also looked at Ling Xiao.

He looked at his phone, didn't raise his head, and said lightly, "You don't have a room, or you don't know how to sleep?"

"I mean, where does Paige sleep?" Ling Yue swallowed, "I went to her room just now to see, and that room wasn't cleaned."

Zhu Shan: "!!" That's a bit of a dog, isn't it?

Ling Yue didn't hear Ling Xiao's answer, patted Zhu Shan on the shoulder, and said politely, "Peppa, you sleep in my room, and I ...... with my brother."

His words stopped abruptly when Ling Xiao raised his eyes to look at him, and he changed his words for a moment, "I can sleep on the sofa."

Zhu Shan was a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips: "Actually, no, I ......."

Ling Xiao stood up with a "poof" and interrupted Zhu Shan's words.

When he passed by Ling Yue, he gave him a brain crash: "Fool!"

Ling Yue pointed to Ling Xiao's departing back, and then pointed to his forehead, stumbling: "He... He ......"

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to say presumptuous words.

After a while, Ling Yue: "Page, let's go out for supper!"

Zhu Shan was nesting in the sofa like a kitten at the moment, and said lazily, "How long has it been since you eaten? I don't want to go!"

Ling Yue tugged at Zhu Shan's arm, and his tone was unhappy: "No, you have to go!" I have something for you!"

Zhu Shan raised her eyes and looked at him a few times, sighed, then got up and put on her slippers and walked to Ling Xiao's room: "I'll tell him."

Zhu Shan returned to the room, swept around and didn't look at anyone, and then heard the sound of water in the bathroom.

She walked over and slammed the door twice.

The sound of the water inside stopped, and only the ticking sound remained.

Zhu Shan leaned against the door and said, "I'm going to have supper with Ling Yue."

Ling Xiao grabbed the hair on his forehead back, wiped the water on his face, and instructed, "Don't go too far."

"Just eat it with Cui Xiao Barbecue."

"Bring a coat and don't come back too late."

Zhu Shan responded obediently: "Yes."

Then, the sound of the rushing water continued.

******

Zhu Shan hasn't been back for a long time.

Nowadays, most barbecue restaurants are grilled over an electric fire, but this long-established restaurant still uses the oldest technique of charcoal grilling.

The charcoal fire can stimulate the tenderness and crunch of the dish.

Zhu Shan, who was not hungry, was instantly urged by the smell of cumin to the little gluttonous worms in her stomach.

Because it is the National Day, the big night is still crowded.

For this purpose, the store has set up a blue temporary shed in front of the store.

Zhu Shan and Ling Yue waited at the door for a while, and the waiter came to remind them, saying that they had packed up a table and were ready to take a seat.

Zhu Shan pointed to the small table and proposed, "You go sit down, order some drinks, and I'll pick up the vegetables."

On a small table, there were still some untended grease stains on it, Ling Yue took out a tissue and wiped it, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhu Shan picking up vegetables in front of the freezer.

He shook his head and muttered, "Two fools."

That's how it is when there are a lot of people, and even if there is a place, it is very slow to serve.

They waited for a while, and there was only one plate of boiled peanuts on the table.

Ling Yue didn't want to wait, put down his phone, and poured Zhu Shan a beer: "Come, let's have a drink first and have a chat."

Zhu Shan then put down the phone, grabbed a peanut, and peeled it off: "Look at how many dark circles you have! I don't sleep at night, what do you want me to talk about?"

"If it weren't for you, I'd have gone to bed early." Ling Yue took a sip of wine and remembered the academic problem

, a little depressed, "I have to wonder if I'm fit to be the presiding judge."

Zhu Shanyun replied lightly: "Suitable."

"Huh?"

"Ling Xiao said it." Zhu Shan smiled and looked at him, "He said that you have only one mind, and you are very suitable to be the presiding judge who handles cases impartially and makes reasonable judgments."

Ling Yue's eyelids were half-pulled, and he was a little suspicious: "...... Is this a compliment to me?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Shan sneered and toasted to Ling Yue, "It's to praise you, it's a must!"

Ling Yue didn't say anything, he directly dried the wine in the cup, and then filled the glass again.

He looked at the bubbles in the cup and stretched out his hand, as if to say to himself, "Look, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat."

「？」

"But!" Ling Yue put down his hand and looked at Zhu Shan with a sincere expression, "Page, I'm still on your side!"

Zhu Shan wrinkled her little face: "What the hell?"

"Listen to me and analyze with you!"

Zhu Shan raised her chin: "You share!"

Ling Yue: "You also know my brother's temper, don't you like him and look for abuse?"

Zhu Shan: "......"

Ling Yue: "Look, just take today, how cold his attitude is towards you, don't you feel cold?"

Zhu Shan narrowed her eyes, and Dou wondered, "Indifferent?"

She didn't feel cold at all, but felt a bright light bulb bouncing between the two of them.

Ling Yue continued, "I don't think you can see your own heart clearly."

Zhu Shan continued to peel peanuts: "I can see it quite clearly."

Ling Yue stretched out his index finger and shook it, denying her.

He paused for a moment and pointed to his heart: "Look at me, how good I am to you! Do you feel like you like me, too?"

The corners of Zhu Shan's mouth twitched, and she picked up the wine glass and took a few sips.

This liking and that liking are not the same liking.

Ling Yue approached and came to a conclusion: "So, you have to understand that this is just friendship, or family affection, not love!"

Zhu Shan continued to drink and listened to his nonsense.

Ling Yue sighed, his face showed some sadness, and suddenly became melancholy:

"I know you're a little lacking in love."

"These days, my mother, told him to take care of you."

"It's sending you to work again, and it's making you breakfast again."

"I picked you up at GZ last time."

"You're young and you've never been in a relationship, so you may mistake these touches for liking."

Zhu Shan finally couldn't help it: "Ling Yue, your brain ......."

Before she could say anything, Ling Yue closed her eyes and raised her right hand to stop her: "You listen to me first."

Zhu Shan took a deep breath and nodded perfunctorily: "You say! You say!"

"My brother, being an elder brother, there must be no problem, being a father is all right! But being a lover is not suitable!" Ling Yue propped his head with one hand and spoke seriously, "I admit that he is very, very good personally, but in terms of personality he is flawed, he is domineering, strong, and dedicated. system, and you won't coax people, you will be his other half......

Ling Yue just fantasized in his head, and then shook his head twice: "No! Not really!"

Zhu Shan lowered her head and finished peeling the last peanut: "You seem to have a misunderstanding of him."

Ling Yue: "No, if you really want to fall in love, let me introduce you, when I was interning in the court, there was a clerk, formally established, handsome, tall, and good-tempered......

"Stop, stop!" The more Zhu Shan listened, the more speechless she became, she didn't expect Ling Yue to be on this, and kindly reminded him, "Don't say it, if Ling Xiao hears it, your little life is over."

Ling Yue paused, and glanced back alertly.

The storefronts are not bright, the people are noisy, and the surrounding area is full of lively fireworks.

After making sure it was safe, Ling Yue turned his head: "My brother is like that, you have to find someone with strong aura and ability, who can make him look up, that."

It's a good way to stop him, you know?"

Zhu Shan's eyes rolled, displeased: "You just say that I have no aura, no ability, and can't control him!"

"Isn't that obvious?" As soon as Ling Yue's words came out, he found that he was a little demeaning to Zhu Shan, and hurriedly remedied, "I mean, you are a gentle and kind girl, naturally you don't have any temper, you will be bullied by him."

Zhu Shan: "......"

"Do you think that in the future, you will be murdered every day, wash your face with tears, and have a marriage without a single heart-warming word?"

Zhu Shan: "......"

Ling Yue slapped the table: "I'm really good for you!"

Zhu Shan drank the wine in the bottle and opened another bottle: "Why don't you say this to Ling Xiao?"

"Isn't this because you're stuck in the mud and can't extricate yourself?"

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes.

She didn't understand, what gave Ling Yue the illusion that she was unrequited?

But thinking about it, Ling Yue only seemed to know that she had confessed to Ling Xiao.

Zhu Shan sighed, looked at Ling Yue with her little face in both hands, her eyebrows and eyes were serious: "Ling Yue, don't worry, Ling Xiao likes me very much, he is very good to me, and he is not very fierce, he can also coax people, and he is very gentle."

Ling Yue closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, he felt that Zhu Shan was stunned and couldn't make sense.

"It's coming—" At this time, the waiter came up with a long plate, "Be careful, the food is here."

The aroma was tangy, and the two of them moved, and the conversation was accompanied by the sound of gobbling up chews.

Ling Yue: "Page, you listen to me, I can be your brother, you have to listen to the old man."

Zhu Shan: "You're a few months older than me, what are you selling?"

Ling Yue: "The ham is for you... I saw a lot when I was an intern in the court, and marriage cannot be one-sided."

Zhu Shan: "He really likes me, I'll let him tell you in person tomorrow... Alas, do you want pigskin?"

Ling Yue: "To... Ribs give you a skewer."

Zhu Shan: "It's really fragrant, come and have a toast."

......

After eating more than half of it, Zhu Shan couldn't hold on, after all, she had drunk beer and plum wine just now.

Her cheeks were red and hot, she held the wine bottle and squinted for a while, and then opened her eyes, Ling Yue was still fighting.

She narrowed her eyes again: "Ling Xiao has really become gentle, and he sometimes reflects on whether talking makes me unhappy."

Ling Yue didn't believe it at all, after all, he had known his brother for twenty-three years, and her adjectives couldn't appear on his brother at all.

He jerks off. With beef skewers, he looked at her with regret on his face.

Zhu Shan smiled lightly and spoke in a toneless tone: "Actually, he doesn't need to change anything, I already like it very much, because I know him, he just stinks!" Proud! Jiao!"

Zhu Shan opened her eyes, a little proud: "You know what? I... Hum... I can stop him!"

Ling Yue shook his head and muttered, "I'm drunk, I'm starting to dream!"

After finishing the food, Ling Yue got up to settle the bill, and then asked Zhu Shan, "Can you still go?"

"Yes." Zhu Shan picked up her phone and stood up.

She shook it, then steadied, snapped her fingers, and pointed forward, "Go, go home!"

Under the dim street lamp, there are crowds of people on the side of the road.

Ling Yue's hands were empty in the air, ready to catch Zhu Shan's swaying figure at any time.

He was a little worried, "Paige, I'll carry you."

"No! No, you don't!" Zhu Shan stood on the edge of the green belt, "I'll show you a straight line."

One step, two steps, three steps......

Walking under the street lamp, Zhu Shan saw a round black shadow on the ground.

She raised her head slowly, her eyes were empty, and the corners of her mouth were opened: "Ling Xiao really likes me......

Ling Yue perfunctorily said to the drunkard: "Yes, yes, I like you, you come down first, I'll carry you."

"I—" Her voice was drunk and drifting, but full of sincerity, "I like him."

Zhu Shan slowly closed her eyes.

She felt the back of her head so heavy, so heavy, and her feet so empty......

Then fall into a familiar embrace.

She opened her unusually heavy eyelids.

Ling Xiao's head hung slightly and looked at her. His cheeks were half-bright and half-dark, deep and handsome, and his brow was a little creased, which looked sharp and cold.

"Soaring?" Zhu Shan pursed her lips and gently touched his brow with her fingertips, "Don't be fierce, you really don't believe it anymore."

As if thinking of something, Zhu Shan stood up with his shoulders on his shoulders.

She turned back, shook her dazed head, and turned again, finally catching Ling Yue's vague figure.

She smiled, "Ling Yue, look at me showing you one, how to stop him."

After saying this, she retreated into Ling Xiao's arms and grabbed his clothes with both hands: "Ling Xiao, you tell Ling Yue that you love me."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, warning of danger. His voice was as low as sandpaper: "You're drunk."

Her head hurts!

She's so annoying!

He is disobedient!

Zhu Shan raised her hand and grabbed Ling Xiao's ear: "Say it quickly!"

"Sanshan!" Ling Xiao's tone was heavy.

She doesn't let go.

He grabbed her wrist, but he didn't dare to push too hard, he knew that her skin would turn red and purple when he touched it.

She tugged at his earlobe, "Say!"

Ling Xiao gritted his back molars: "Zhu Shanshan!"

Zhu Shan, who was crazy with alcohol, shook her hand, and then her whole body softened.

Then, her big eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and even the tails of her eyes were red.

She bit her lower lip, looking pitiful and aggrieved, and her nasal voice was heavy: "Don't call me by my last name, I... I'm scared."

After speaking, he blinked his eyes twice, and really squeezed out two tears.

She stomped her foot, "You don't love me, you don't love me."

Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Yue, who was stunned, took a deep breath, then grabbed her waist with her right hand and pressed it to herself, wiped her tears with the tips of her left fingertips, and said in a tone of infinite compromise and coaxing: "I love you, I love you."

Zhu Shan's eyelids trembled, and the sorrow in her eyes instantly dissipated, filling up the cunning after her success.

She turned her head sideways to look at Ling Yue, her chin tilted slightly, "Did you hear that?"

Immediately, she blinked her eyes, her white fingers dangled in the air, pointing at Ling Xiao and ordering, "You!"

Then his fingertips slowly pointed at Ling Yue: "Call him the presiding judge!"
