3. Frustration

No one, it will be smooth sailing.

No matter how good it is, it won't.

When Ling Xiao entered the law firm for an internship in his senior year, he was already reckless and reckless, and he would not restrain his edge.

Such a person, if he stood on a high place, would definitely be admired and admired, but he is only an intern now, and there is no doubt that he is not liked at all.

Including the middle-aged lawyer who took him.

Later, in a case, the middle-aged lawyer was angry with Ling Xiao for no reason because of his mistakes, so he stopped caring about him.

As an intern, being isolated by your own master is equivalent to being isolated by the whole company.

At that time, Ling Xiao doubted himself for the first time.

Suspect that you have chosen the wrong path.

When Han Xiao asked him out, he didn't have the spirit either.

Han Xiao glanced at him several times and closed the information: "Ling Xiao, have you listened to me?"

Ling Xiao leaned lazily on the back of the chair and lowered his eyelids: "Listen."

Han Xiao took a deep breath, wrapped her arms around her chest, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Ling Xiao with lowered eyes: "Don't forget, it was you who swore to say those words at the beginning, but now I look at you, do you want to give up?"

Ling Xiao's eyelids trembled: "......"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Xiao stood up: "Yes! You can get out at any time!"

With that, she got up and left.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes and leaned back to look at the steel ceiling of the coffee shop, the protruding Adam's apple rolling.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his bag rang.

Ling Xiao straightened up and took out his mobile phone to answer.

It was a new case arranged for him by the law firm.

After reading the information, Ling Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly.

This case was caught red-handed by the police. Gambling. Bo lawbreakers, as well as long-term network monitoring and account flows, it can be said that everyone has stolen goods, what else is there to defend?

Ling Xiao still went.

When he saw a few parties, Ling Xiao was surprised.

The young men who were arrested were thin and thin, with piercing hair, a sallow complexion, and extremely heavy dark circles under their eyes, looking like they had stayed up late all year round.

But Ling Xiao can still recall their youthful appearance in his mind.

It was his high school classmate, his high school friend.

Ling Xiao has also had a rebellious period, more than once.

The most serious time should be when I was in my third year of high school, when I was in a voice of "Grades!" Achievement" erupted.

A group of them always played ball together, went to Internet cafes together, and went to billiard halls together.

They knew a foreign school man in the billiard hall, a few years older than them, and he was generous.

Later, the man said that there was a way to take them to make money.

Ling Xiao left all the money to Ling Yue at that time, and his luggage was packed, so he wanted to go with these people.

He felt that life at that time was boring, whether his grades were good or bad, whether he could get into a good university or not, it was boring.

He didn't want to be restrained because he didn't want to be restrained.

He wanted to be freer.

But he didn't leave in the end, because Zhu Shan's father suddenly committed suicide by jumping off the building, and Zhu Shan was ostracized at school.

He can't go for a while.

Those few people didn't leave, and the righteous ones had to wait for Ling Xiao together.

Later, the reason why Ling Xiao didn't leave at all was that Zhu Shan's mother died in a car accident.

Zhu Shan became an orphan.

When Ling Xiao saw off those friends, it was early in the morning, at the train station.

They buy hard seats on the train and go to a city far away.

One of the people who had the best relationship with Ling Xiao shouted loudly before entering the gate, "Ling Xiao! You're so unjust! You'll regret it!"

Thoughts come back.

Ling Xiao looked at a few panicked and former friends in front of him.

He and they are already people of two worlds.

They also recognized Ling Xiao, and they were slightly stunned

With his head down, no one punctured the friendship that once existed.

4. Get married

That night, when Ling Xiao came home, he bumped into Ling Yue sneaking out of the master bedroom.

He roared, "What are you doing?"

Ling Yue's hand shook, and a stack of documents slipped from his arms. He squatted down to pick it up.

Ling Xiao walked over and frowned, "What are you doing with these?"

Ling Yue squatted on the ground, slurping: "The university is about to start, I, our school will use it."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.

Everything during the day made him impatient, and he didn't have any patience to listen to Ling Yue's nonsense at the moment.

He was angry, and his tone was oppressive: "Ling Yue, don't lie to me."

Ling Yue saw that he couldn't hide it, so he grabbed his documents and stood up, looking dead: "Knot, get married."

Ling Xiao was stunned for two seconds, and then laughed angrily: "What?"

Ling Yue: "......"

"Puppy love?"

「......」

"How old are you?" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Put the documents back."

Ling Yue: "No."

Ling Xiao's chin was slightly raised, a little dangerous: "You say it again."

"Brother! I'm married to Peppa!"

After two seconds of silence, Ling Xiao seemed to not believe what he had heard, and asked again, "What?"

Ling Yue: "I'm married to Peppa! At SJP, we are old enough to register for marriage!"

Ling Xiao's temples throbbed.

"Brother, you also know that Page wants to return to China, she is originally from ZG, what's wrong with her wanting to come back?" Ling Yue looked straight at Ling Xiao, "Didn't Aunt Xu Nian marry Uncle Zhu and become a naturalist?"

"That's what she thought? Or do you think?"

Ling Yue swallowed: "She."

"What about you?"

"I... I ......" Ling Yue was panicked by Ling Xiao, and looked away, "She said, I don't agree to her, she will go to find someone who specializes in this kind of business, so can I let her find those people?" Those are liars."

Ling Xiao: "......"

Ling Yue gritted his teeth and attributed the cause and effect to Ling Xiao, trying to make him feel compassionate: "Besides, if you didn't object at that time, why did Page go so far away? She's our sister now, where is all this going on?"

After speaking, Ling Yue glanced at Ling Xiao, and his feet just took half a step back.

"Stop—" Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers, "Give me the papers."

Ling Yue looked at the various documents in his hand: "Brother, does this have any loss to you?" You don't want her to be your sister, and she won't be your sister when she comes back! As far as we have been in love since childhood, you can turn a blind eye and let me help her come back, can't you?"

Ling Xiao sighed and stared at him, "Give! Me!"

Stalemate for a few seconds.

Ling Yue gritted his teeth again and handed the thing to Ling Xiao, "What gunpowder have you eaten lately?" qs

Ling Xiao flipped through the documents in his hand: "Yes! So you don't dangle in front of my eyes."

Before turning around, Ling Xiao reminded: "I'll solve this matter, don't tell her yet, I'm afraid she will really find some indiscriminate people."

That night, Ling Xiao slept very late.

He had a dream that when he was a child, those long withered sticks walked on the mountain path behind his grandmother's house.

There was a heavy fog all around, and there was no one to see or the way to go.

He walked for a long, long time, feeling a little tired, but he didn't know what to do.

And he just kept going, all the way on.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

"Lingxiao—"

"Lingxiao—"

"Brother Ling Xiao—"

Ling Xiao turned around.

The breeze blew away the fog, and Zhu Shan jumped up and ran to pull him back.

After waking up, Ling Xiao was sweating profusely.

He remembered the luggage he packed in high school, remembered the friends who went to the train station to see them off, remembered the appearance of seeing them in the detention center today, and thought of Zhu Shan......

Ling Xiao went to SJP.

As soon as he got off the plane and arrived in the hall, he saw Zhu Shan's little face.

In just a second, Zhu Shan turned around and ran away.

Only left to him, the back.

Ling Xiao looked at her back: "Zhu Shanshan, stop!"

Zhu Shan stopped and stood there, her head bowed, her shoulders shrugged, as if she had cried.

Ling Xiao walked around to Zhu Shan and was silent for a while. His thin lips moved, "Do you want to get married?"

Zhu Shan raised her head slowly, her little face crawling with tears: "You found out, can you still tie it?"

Ling Xiao looked into her eyes and sighed, "Ling Yue is only nineteen years old, even if you register with SJP, he can't go back to China to go to the embassy for notarization."

Zhu Shan sniffed and raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "Oh."

Then, without hesitation, she walked towards the airport gate.

Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at her back.

He came here with all his papers, was he really just afraid that she would find some random people to fool around?

Just now, the moment he came out of it and bumped into her sight, it was an indescribable joy.

And when she turned around at her speed, leaving only her back, just now, the tears of panic and fear in her eyes, until now, leaving without hesitation, made his heart be pulled heavily.

It doesn't matter when it started.

But Ling Xiao understood at the moment.

He didn't want to look at her back.

Her back made his heart ache.

Because of him, like her.

But she is only eighteen years old, she has only graduated from high school, and her social cognition is not perfect.

He is now married to her, and it is shameful to marry her at this opportunity.

But he also wanted to reserve a chance for himself.

He rushed up and grabbed her wrist, "I'm marrying you."

After registering for marriage, Ling Xiao asked to go to Aunt Zhu Shan's house, and he was scolded as a matter of course.

On the way to the airport, Ling Xiao secretly glanced at Zhu Shan several times.

She looked out the window, her eyes crooked and the corners of her mouth crooked.

He knew that her pleasure had nothing to do with him.

After getting out of the taxi, the two walked to the airport lobby.

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhu Shan twice, and suddenly stepped forward to block her, and Zhu Shan subconsciously took half a step back.

Ling Xiao was disturbed by her natural movements, and he said, "Don't get into trouble."

Zhu Shan nodded and looked at the ground, "Hmm."

Ling Xiao: "During the marriage, don't cause trouble to each other."

Zhu Shan nodded again and said "um" again.

Ling Xiao looked at her hand hanging down on the seam of his pants, his fingers moved, his arm was raised slightly, and then slowly drooped: "If your aunt won't let you send me, won't you... Bring me to the airport?"

The sudden turn of the topic made Zhu Shan raise her eyes.

As soon as she met his gaze, she looked away again, and did not speak.

It's also the default.

Ling Xiao rolled his throat and said coldly, "Go back, I don't need you to send it."

Zhu Shan nodded and whispered, "Goodbye."

Then turn around in an instant.

Zhu Shan didn't look back, didn't even pause in the slightest step, and then got into the taxi.

It wasn't until the taxi disappeared from sight that Ling Xiao snorted lightly.

She didn't even look at him before she turned around.
