Chapter 3 Rejection
Luo Li knew that she was in danger and quickly fled from Ji Si'an's office. Ji Si'an glanced at the direction of the door, took out a wet towel and wiped the shoulder that Director Zhao had touched just now. Although she was through her clothes, she could still feel the body temperature that belonged to a man. Thinking of this, a feeling of nausea rushed to her throat, and she wiped it even harder, and even had the urge to wash her clothes off immediately.......
The poor don't have much time to be sad, and Ji Si'an quickly forced himself to calm down. She pinned her short hair behind her ears and plunged her head into the hill-like case file, and it wasn't until Lori called her for lunch that she straightened her stiff neck. She moved her neck carefully, the squeaking of bones and tendons was very decompressing.
Lori watched her movements and pressed her shoulder with some distress. "Xiao An, you can't be so desperate. It's just a job. ”
Ji Si'an hooked the corners of his mouth but did not speak. Yes, it's just a job, but it's all about life for her. This job allows her to rent a house, so that she can be fed and clothed, and strictly speaking, this job is her food and clothing.
"Otherwise, I'll ask the family to talk to the director and change the group for you." Luo Li said hesitantly.
Luo Li is already very grateful to her for being able to do this, but she also understands that Luo Li has no connections now, and she also relies on the help of her parents and family. "No, it's not easy for your family to find someone." After saying that, she thought about it and sincerely thanked Luo Li: "Thank you." ”
Luo Li was a little frustrated, "Thank me for nothing, I can't help you."
"Why can't you help me? If you hadn't called me to eat on time every day, I would have gone hungry. Saying that, Ji Si'an got up and grabbed Luo Li's arm.
"Talking like a fool." Luo Li swept away the powerlessness just now and followed Ji Si'an to the elegantly decorated restaurant downstairs.
At noon, the sun shines through the windows, and colorful light flows into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ji Si'an sat by the window as usual, while Luo Li hid behind the wall in the sun.
"I really envy your good skin, but it's a pity that some people don't know how to cherish it at all." Lori muttered.
It's a little more expensive here, but the scenery is really good. Ji Si'an took a sip of hot water and watched the lively crowd walk in front of her, she liked such a vibrant scene very much.
"What do you think?" After Luo Li finished ordering, she saw that she was in a daze.
"Didn't think about anything." Ji Si'an drank another sip of water, she had a bad stomach, and she had to drink some hot water before eating. "I'm just thinking about the case I took on recently, that girl is so pitiful."
Luo Li swallowed her saliva, she knew the case Ji Si'an said, once she opened the file ...... with her hands in her hands, and the victim's heads were cut off, and the bed was covered with blood...... It's hard to remember.
Ji Si'an also thought about the situation in the file, she knew that Luo Li was afraid of this, so she didn't mention it anymore. Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief, although she loved food, she was not strong enough to discuss these things and still be able to eat.
Ji Si'an continued to take small sips of water, but his thoughts drifted to a month ago. That was the first homicide case that Lawyer Ho took her on. The defendant was a 28 or 9-year-old boy with fair skin and a gentlemanly appearance. Their job is to defend the accused. Mr. Ho is still very keen on his life-saving theory. Ji Si'an has obvious rejection of this case.
Maybe it's because of her gender, or maybe she hasn't cultivated to the level of Lawyer He's rationality, in short, she can't hide her disgust every time she sees the defendant. Even lawyer He, who has always been a good man, also complained about this......
The restaurant served the food quickly, and Ji Si'an retracted his thoughts and ate the noodles in front of him in small bites. Luo Li often teased that she had never seen such a noodle girl. In fact...... Ji Si'an doesn't like pasta at all, and the reason why she eats it at every meal is because it's the only food she can afford at this fancy restaurant. Her delicate stomach is the best excuse for her to eat clear soup noodles for every meal.
Luo Li often envies her pale and delicate, but I don't know how much Ji Si'an envies her for being able to eat and sleep.
"Why do you have to cut your hair short. Otherwise, sitting in the sun like this, full of delicate appearance. This short hair spoils such a temperament. Luo Li complained slightly, she was really sorry. Ji Si'an's behavior was like taking Venus's arm and ruining the scenery.
"It's too much trouble to take care of." When he said this, Ji Si'an bowed his head slightly. As soon as I thought that a pair of hands had secretly stroked her long hair, the feeling of disgust came back to my heart again.
"But I'm used to it, it's also beautiful, and the little face is good." Lori muttered as she continued to drink.
Ji Si'an turned his face out of the window uneasily, still taking small sips of hot water. The break was always short, and the sun was warm enough, but they had to go back to work.
The crisp bell rang, and Ji Si'an raised his head from the file as if he was awakened. Director Zhao frowned and looked at the small and cute bell at the door, and complained: "Why are you hanging this thing if you have nothing to do, it's scary."
Ji Si'an got up quickly, "I bought it when I looked good." At the end, she secretly added, "The voice is very good."
Director Zhao glanced at her and did not continue the topic, and handed over the new case file. "Get it done as soon as possible, and use it for court next Wednesday."
Ji Si'an carefully took the file, and his heart was entangled. She didn't know if she had overreacted.
Since the conflict with Lawyer He, she is often the only one in the office. She looked at the file with great engrossance that day, and stroked her long head with a pair of hands running down the top of her head. "It's beautiful."
It was a pair of thick palms, and the temperature of the palms made her scalp tingle. She sat there for a long time, very disgusted, but her body could not move.
Although nothing happened afterwards, she was still very uncomfortable, mixed with a sense of humiliation. So she bought the bunny wind chimes so that she could be prepared when others approached her territory.
Are you thinking too much? Ji Si'an looked at the file lying quietly on the desk, and then looked at the newly hung wind chimes at the door, and smiled self-deprecatingly, who could she ask this question? Stepmother? She might think she was being amorous. Father? His heart has long been occupied by his younger brother, how can he have time to care about her life or death. Lori? She is so well protected by her family, she will never encounter such a thing in her life.
Ji Si'an lowered her head, forced herself to retract her thoughts, and silently turned on the alarm clock, there is still so much work to be done, she has to hurry up and get off work before this point in time anyway, otherwise she will really have to live in the unit if she can't catch the last train. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
When the alarm clock rang at exactly 21 o'clock, Ji Si'an closed the computer, grabbed his backpack and skillfully turned off the light and locked the door. She trotted to the entrance of the subway station, and the people who were playing around and cooperating with each other made her feel a little relieved, and it was not too late. At 21:20, she got on the subway on time and drove in the direction of her home with a bang. Ji Si'an leaned back in his chair tiredly, clinging to the baffle next to his seat like a cramp. The black hole tunnel of the subway reminded her of the case again.
