In the evening, Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao had dinner and went for a walk in the small park together.

During this period, Ling Xiao answered a phone call.

Zhu Shan sat on a big rock next to the park, playing with her phone.

The top of the phone suddenly appears, inserting the information.

Zhu Shan clicked on it, and it was sent by Ling Yue.

Ling Yue: [Crazy! 】

Ling Yue: [I'm autistic!] 】

Zhu Shan: [What's wrong?] 】

Ling Yue posted an emoji of smashing the keyboard, with the words "Whoever likes to read this research will read it".

Ling Yue: [Sister-in-law, come and comfort you! 】

Zhu Shan was speechless, raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Ling Xiao, and typed with peace of mind: [Whoever loves this sister-in-law! 】

Ling Yue smelled the atmosphere of gossip: [What's wrong? 】

Zhu Shan: [If I get drunk in the future, I will be a pig!] 】

Ling Yue: [We still drink during the New Year!] 】

Zhu Shan: [Be a person! You don't know your brother's temper? 】

Ling Yue: [You can stop him!] 】

Zhu Shan: [What kind of town? 】

Zhu Shan: [I brag and you can't see it? 】

Zhu Shan: [What was his attitude when you left this morning, didn't you see it?] 】

Ling Yue: [Very good! 】

Zhu Shan: [Don't you see that he is angry?] 】

Ling Yue: [My brother is not angry! Early in the morning, let me buy you breakfast! 】

Not angry?

Zhu Shan pressed off the phone screen.

She blinked and looked up at Ling Xiao.

Tonight's moon is only a small tooth, but it is exceptionally pure, and a little dark cloud covers the face, unable to hide the silver-white light.

Ling Xiao stood with his back to her.

The moonlight poured on his shoulders, and his figure was tall and straight.

Zhu Shan remembered that in the bathroom in the morning, this tall body pushed her against the corner and bullied her, and made her say all the things he wanted to hear in a crying voice.

said that she was drunk and made amends.

Thinking about this, Zhu Shan remembered that at that time, the box he found out of the sweatpants was brand new and had a plastic seal.

Obviously, I bought it temporarily while I was running!

It's premeditated!

So, he won't act angry from the moment he enters the door, right?

What else did you say that you were so angry that your heart hurt all night?

What reparations?

Is this digging a pit and then guiding her into the pit herself?

Dogs!!

Dog man!!

Ahh!!h

Zhu Shan's brows furrowed, her small fists clenched, and she swung at Ling Xiao's back.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao turned around.

Zhu Shan immediately turned her face away, her eyes floated in mid-air, her small fist spread, and her palm waved in the air.

Ling Xiao walked over, seemed to have finished the call, squeezed the phone in the palm of his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Shan's eyes floated around, pretending: "Yes, there are mosquitoes, I'll fan a mosquito."

"Don't stay here then." Ling Xiao knew that she was an attraction to mosquitoes, and she did not doubt him.

He grabbed her little waving hand and pulled her up from the stone with all his might, and walked towards the exit of the small park.

The sky is getting dark, and the street lights in the small park are not bright, and they are obscured by messy branches, which makes them even darker.

Zhu Shan absentmindedly thought about whether she should be bold enough to expose and question his bad behavior in person.

Suddenly, she heard Ling Xiao's mobile phone ringing, which was a message prompt tone.

Ling Xiao picked it up, looked at it, then pressed and held the talk button, and raised the phone to his mouth: "It's good for him to practice a little more, it's all right."

Zhu Shan tiptoed a glance at Ling Xiao when he put down his phone.

Although she couldn't see the chat, she saw the avatar.

A gray-haired, formal ID photo.

The last time she asked, it was Ling Yue's mentor.

Autumn is the season of falling leaves.

Zhu Shan stepped on the leaves and made a crisp "crunch" sound.

Her mind was touched by the creaking sound.

Zhu Shan's eyes rolled, and she cut into the topic from the side: "Ling Yue has already arrived at school, isn't it a little pitiful to be alone on National Day?"

Ling Xiao's tone was serious, and he didn't seem to intend to hide it: "It's good for him to practice a little more."

There was a villain in Zhu Shan's heart who knelt on the ground and vomited blood.

Never mind.

Don't debunk it.

Jump into the pit, jump into the pit.

Don't ask about it.

Don't even try to turn over and be the master.

I can't fight.

******

On October 5, Ling Xiao and Zhu Shan drove back to the city.

They took a shorter route and entered the city from the northern entrance of the Ring Expressway.

As soon as she got out of the highway, Zhu Shan seemed to think of something, leaned over, and slid her finger on the navigation screen a few times: "Ling Xiao, by the way, go see my parents, okay?"

Ling Xiao glanced at her and nodded, "Okay."

Half an hour later, vehicles lined up to enter the cemetery's dedicated parking lot.

Today is already cloudy, and it is even more rainy at the moment.

After parking the car, Ling Xiao instructed, "Put on your coat, I'll go get an umbrella."

Zhu Shan nodded, unbuckled her seatbelt, and began to put on her coat.

As soon as she was dressed, the car door was opened.

Ling Xiao took a large umbrella.

The two went to the cemetery gate to buy two bouquets of flowers before entering.

Walk to a familiar location and put the flowers on the table.

Zhu Shan didn't say anything, looking at the tombstone, as if she was stunned.

Until the warm palm of the hand, grabbed her little hand. Then, the warm handle of the umbrella was placed in the palm of her hand.

Zhu Shan looked sideways at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao: "I'll wait for you over there."

With that, he rushed into the hazy drizzle.

Zhu Shan bit her lip and muttered, "Which side is over there?"

The sound is too low and completely blends in with the sound of the rain.

Zhu Shan retracted her gaze and slowly squatted down.

After she returned to China, she came several times, but she came secretly alone.

I cry every time.

But today, it's so weird, I don't want to cry at all.

She reached out and touched the tombstone, which was cold.

Zhu Shan's voice was very small: "Mom and Dad, I'm married."

"You must be wondering who is married to me, right?"

"It's Ling Xiao."

"Yes, it's the Ling Xiao you know."

"It's him, you must be at ease, right?"

"You like him a lot."

Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips: "Dad, I'm sorry, I grew up a little slowly, and I haven't cleared your stigma yet."

"However, I believe that the truth will be known soon, because Ling Xiao is investigating."

"I know that this matter may be more complicated, dangerous, and difficult than I thought."

"But, if it's Ling Xiao, it must be possible, right?"

Zhu Shan withdrew her hand, her fingertips already cold.

She put the umbrella on her shoulder, pressed the handle of the umbrella with her hand and buried it in her abdomen to keep warm, the whole person was crumpled together, and continued, "Mom, Ling Xiao is a little annoying, always teasing me."

"Does he think I don't know?"

"Actually, I know it, I just don't say it."

Zhu Shan snorted, and sneered, "He's just like that."

"I seem to like him more and more, though."

"He teased me, and I liked it."

There was a long pause.

Zhu Shan's eyelashes trembled: "If only you were here."

"I'm kind of like to sit on the couch with you guys, watch TV, sit with you at dinner

Eat at the table..."

"I want you to see how happy I am."

......

Zhu Shan nagged for a while, then stood up.

She lifted the edge of the umbrella, and the whole vision seemed to be frosted.

There are a lot of small umbrellas, like mushrooms, and they move cutely.

Zhu Shan sighed, where is Ling Xiao waiting?

It wasn't explained either.

Where is she going to find someone now?

Zhu Shan walked out with a big umbrella, her legs were a little numb, and she didn't dare to blink when she went down the steps, for fear of falling and eating.

Suddenly, the edge of her umbrella was grabbed by slender fingers and slowly raised.

Ling Xiao's face appeared.

His eyebrows are naturally black, like thick ink paintings, without warm colors.

He still had a thin line of water on his face and his eyelashes.

Zhu Shan immediately raised an umbrella to cover him: "It's raining, why are you running around?"

Ling Xiao took the handle of the umbrella, patted the water on his shoulder, and said indifferently, "I'm lost."

"......" Zhu Shan didn't say anything, and grabbed his arm affectionately.

It turns out that the people who care about you.

You don't have to look for it.

He will also appear before your eyes.

Because he never left.

It's just that you don't see him for a while.

******

The office after the National Day is unusually quiet, and everyone seems to have not recovered from the holiday.

Zhu Shan was rare and asked Wu Jing for an instant coffee.

She poured hot water into the tea, dangling a small spoon in one hand and reading the news with her mobile phone in the other.

Shu Qiwen: [I'm sorry, I'm going abroad.] 】

Zhu Shan: [Then when will you come back?] 】

Shu Qiwen: [Not sure for the time being. 】

Shu Qiwen: [Don't worry, you owe me a meal, I remember it firmly!] 】

Shu Qiwen: [After returning to China, I will definitely be the first to contact you!] 】

Zhu Shan replied with a cute meme.

She put down her phone and subconsciously raised her hand to take a sip of coffee.

The boiling water hurt so much that she almost couldn't hold on to the cup.

When she returned home in the evening, Ling Xiao immediately noticed that her upper lip was a little red and swollen.

He reached out to touch it, but Zhu Shan dodged him.

Her tone was a little coquettish: "It hurts."

Ling Xiao frowned, self-doubting, "Did I kiss last night?"

「......！！！」 Zhu Shan's eyelids pulled down and shouted, "It's hot!"

"How hot is it?"

"There was boiling water in the cup, so I was distracted and drank it."

Ling Xiao pulled Zhu Shan to sit on the sofa, pinched her chin with one hand, raised it slightly, and observed her lips: "Why are you distracted?"

"Oh, that's when Sister Qiwen sent me a message, saying that she went abroad." Zhu Shan saw that Ling Xiao was about to touch him again, so she unceremoniously slapped his hand away, and continued, "I was thinking that she should go back to the procuratorate after winning the lawsuit, but I didn't expect to go out to play."

"That's all you want?"

"Hmm."

Ling Xiao was a little helpless, raised his hand again, and without waiting for Zhu Shan to slap it away, he said coldly, "Don't move."

Her voice was soft, "It hurts."

"I don't touch it." Ling Xiao's voice softened, and his fingers pressed to the corners of her mouth, "A little blistered."

「......」

"Does it hurt to eat?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Shan was a little proud: "It hurts too, but I insist on it, eat two more bites, and I get used to it, and I don't feel it anymore."

Ling Xiao snorted lightly and let go of his hand.

He has not touched it yet, and he can endure it until he eats.

He laughed angrily: "Foodie."

Zhu Shan pursed her lips, took the pillow next to her and hugged it to her chest, and continued to play with her mobile phone.

Ling Xiao glanced sideways at Zhu Shan, "Ren Xingyan

The court date has been scheduled."

Zhu Shan paused: "When?"

"At the end of the month." Ling Xiao didn't look at her, "Prosecutor Su should notify you, and the court will also notify you of the specific time to appear in court."

It's been a long time since I've talked about this topic.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips: "Ling Xiao, why do you have such an expression?"

Ling Xiao tilted his head slightly: "What expression?"

"Not so happy." Zhu Shan laughed and quipped, "Do you think you're going to lose?"

"Lose?" Ling Xiao snorted extremely arrogantly.

Zhu Shan sighed twice: "Isn't it?"

Ling Xiao put down his phone, leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand, and waited: "Tell me about it."

Zhu Shan turned sideways with a pillow, her legs bent on the sofa, very serious: "At that time, there were only Zhuo Yue, Zhuo Yue's father and Ren Xingyan on the top floor, Ren Xingyan was clearly the murderer, and Zhuo Yue and I were both witnesses."

To be honest, Zhu Shan agrees with what Ling Xiao said, don't convict people before the judicial judgment.

But she felt that in this case, the evidence was conclusive, and the judgment was just a process, and there was no reversal at all.

But when she thought of Ling Xiao's reputation as undefeated, she was a little curious.

Zhu Shan leaned closer, "Are you going to lose?"

Ling Xiao raised his chin defiantly: "What do you say?"

Zhu Shan pursed her lips: "Can you ......?"

Before she finished speaking, Ling Xiao raised her hand, put her index finger against her forehead, and pushed it away: "No."

Zhu Shan didn't expect him to say anything.

However, she pretended to be angry and swiped her hand between the two of them: "Yes, Lawyer Ling must remember that we are at home."

In the next second, her waist was grabbed and pulled in.

He told her with practical actions what their relationship was.

Zhu Shan used a pillow between the two of them, her big eyes flashing: "What are you doing?"

Ling Xiao ripped off the pillow with one hand, pressed her shoulder and pressed forward violently, pressing the person on the sofa.

His elbows were bent over her ear, and his body pressed tightly against her, within the limits of her tolerance.

Zhu Shan felt completely shackled, and her voice was held in her throat: "Don't, I was obedient to what you said by yourself last night, you can't today."

Ling Xiao laughed so hard that her chest trembled slightly, her eyes lowered, and her sharp gaze slid over her little face inch by inch.

He tugged at her earlobe, rubbing his somewhat frosted fingertips gently, "I just wanted to say hello to you."

"What?"

"Don't be angry when the evidence speaks in court."

"What can I be angry at?"

"I'm afraid you'll come home and lose your temper with me."

"I—" Zhu Shan voluntarily revealed, a little displeased, "How dare I?"

"What else would you not dare?"

「？？？」

"Last night when you were taking a shower, your phone rang there......

！！！

Zhu Shan remembered the confession message from a colleague in the column group next door just now.

She hooked Ling Xiao's neck with both hands: "I replied to him, I said I was married!"

Ling Xiao's eyelashes drooped, leaving a shadow, and his thin lips pursed into a line, dragging a tone of "oh".

Jealous?

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes, raised her head to kiss him, and then touched him lightly, and immediately bounced away: "Pain, pain, pain!"

Ling Xiao got up and went to get the medicine box.

Zhu Shan bent down and picked up her phone from the carpet.

Sure enough, there was news from Prosecutor Su.

Zhu Shan leaned back and sighed, always feeling that Ren Xingyan's case would not be so simple.
