Good day and beautiful scenery

While making noise, Shen Yan's cell phone rang, it was set to vibrate, and it was whirling on the coffee table.He glanced back, still pressed on my body, lowered his head and wanted to kiss me again, I avoided it to the side.

"Go and answer the phone." I pushed him, tidying up my trousers that had been pulled down.

Shen Yan frowned, with a look of reluctance: "I won't pick up. They're all off work."

"Go and pick it up, maybe there is something urgent for you."

"Okay, you wait for me."

He finally got up, picked up his phone from the coffee table and went to the balcony.It's a habit the two of us picked up when we lived together before.As a lawyer, he has contacted more people of all kinds than me, so naturally there are many calls to him.He offered not to make phone calls in the room because he was afraid of disturbing me, and I naturally had no problem with that.

Looking at the back of Shen Yan leaning on the railing to answer the phone, for a moment I still had some dark thoughts, like a wife who is always suspicious when she is cheated once, thinking bitterly about the person who was talking to him on the other end of the phone. who is it.

I didn't mean to make things difficult for myself, but together with the thought of helplessness, I inevitably thought of that photo again, so I lost all mood, and the body that was excited just now became more and more empty.

Turned on the TV to find something to divert attention, but was overwhelmed by the noisy blind date show, so he turned it off angrily.Curled up and lay dry on the sofa.

My body was still tired and my mind was in a mess.I feel that I am in a chaotic boundary, while struggling to cheer up, while being instigated by something, I fell straight into the abyss uncontrollably.It was as if these two completely opposing forces were colliding in my body, vowing to tear me in half before giving up.

Shen Yan came back after answering the phone, went around the sofa and bent down to look at me, reached out to touch my face, and asked me with a smile: "Do you want to sleep?"

"A little bit," I said.

"Would you like some water?"

Although he was asking me, Shen Yan walked away first, poured me a glass of water and came back.I got up to pick it up, held the cup while drinking, looked over the mouth of the cup and saw him staring at me and smiling, so I asked him what he was looking at.

He sat at my feet, stretched out his hand to hold my right ankle, smiled, and said, "Of course it's up to you."

I handed the cup back to him, and gave him an annoyed look: "What's so interesting about me."

"Why is it not good-looking? When I went to report to school, if it hadn't been raining, I saw you at the orientation office of your courtyard and fell in love with you at first sight. How could I have the cheek to inquire about you afterwards?"

I leaned against the sofa, stared at his slightly smiling eyes for a while, and said, "Shen Yan, you still remember."

"Of course I remember." He shook my ankle lightly and said proudly, "and the memory is still fresh."

I was noncommittal: "It's been so many years."

Thinking of those past events, I suddenly realized that many things will be diluted by time, but some memories will last forever.

At that time, I didn't understand that youth is just a patch with a unique effect. In the early stage, it only makes you simple-minded and impulsive. , it is always regrettable and nostalgic.

But after all, it was good at the beginning, and youth is good.

Shen Yan and I had a good time then.

Not wanting to continue this frustrating topic, I turned to ask Shen Yan what was the result of today's court session.

"It's a win," he said.

This is strange, he has always been confident and decisive in his work, so hesitation is really rare.I sat up, looked at him and asked, "What does it mean?"

His expression darkened: "Changing the death penalty to life is obviously the best result, but for a family like his, the result is actually the same."

I was stunned for a moment. I still remembered the case he mentioned. In order to ask for wages, a migrant worker had a verbal dispute with the foreman, resulting in a physical collision.Shen Yan mentioned it to me when he took over the case.He didn't ask for my opinion, but I knew he would take it.

Now the case finally has a result, but such a referee is unavoidably frustrating.I can understand Shen Yan's mood. He has paid a lot for this case, running around to collect witness evidence, and in view of the plight of the defendant's family, he even voluntarily gave up the agency fee.

Seeing Shen Yan propping his eyebrows with his fingers, I feel a little distressed.This is his small movement, which is basically invisible at ordinary times. He only does it subconsciously when he is particularly sad, as if to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.

Shen Yan didn't know that he had this action before, but I discovered it by accident and used it to tease him. I managed to tease him enough that time, but in the end he was pressed in my rented room and tossed all afternoon.

I reached out and pulled his hand down to hold it, and found that he was really agitated, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.I tightened my grip a little, looking into his barely smiling eyes.

"Don't be sad, you have done your best and helped him and his family a lot. And as long as you are still alive, there is always hope of returning to a normal life."

"I know." Shen Yanhui held my hand, his face softened a little.

I looked at him and didn't say anything more. He is not a child, and he still needs to complete the psychological adjustment by himself.

"Xiaojing?" Shen Yan called me after a while.

"Ok?"

"kiss Me."

He used an affirmative sentence, but I became unsure: "Why?"

Shen Yanteng pointed to his left cheek and said with a smile, "I won't be sad if you kiss here once."

"It's not a child..."

"I can do it too. Xiao Jing, just give me a kiss to encourage me, a young man who is at a loss."

I was really amused by Shen Yan's rare childish appearance, I couldn't help but glared at him: "You're still young, Lawyer Shen is almost thirty."

"What's wrong with thirty? Your birthday is earlier than mine, so it's okay for me to be a child in front of you." Shen Yan said, suddenly attacked my face in a very rascally manner, kissed me heavily, and said with a loud laugh, " You are shy, let me do it myself, Brother Jing."

I had to go to work the next day, and I woke up early, with Shen Yan's hand under my neck, he woke up as soon as I moved, and asked me sleepily what was wrong.I didn't tell him that I was actually a little nervous.Although for a person who has been working for many years, this nervousness is simply inexplicable.

Being hooped by Shen Yan on his chest, I lay down for a while, until the alarm clock rang and he wanted to get up to wash up, so I followed suit.Shen Yan's place of work is far away from me, and not in the same direction, so I rejected his proposal to send me off.

After arriving at the company, there was no time for tension. The boss specially held a meeting for me, welcomed my return in his unique way, and left me alone to talk after the meeting.

I don't hate this boss. On the contrary, he has always been good to me. He has less control at work and more trust. He has a decent relationship in private, and occasionally eats and drinks together.He left me to talk, and I waited quietly.

"Joe," he used to call me by my English name, and said with a gentle and tolerant smile as usual, "Joe, everyone and I are very happy that you can come back to work."

The boss is not very old, in his early forties, and his memory doesn't seem to be very good. He repeated what he said in the meeting a few minutes ago without hesitation.

I'm a little embarrassed to hear that.In fact, during the vacation period, I basically didn't even read emails, so I couldn't say that I "would still worry about work while I was resting".When the boss had enough emotional foreshadowing, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, I smiled and said, "Boss, if you have something to say, just say it, I'll listen."

"You know what I'm going to say?" He raised his hand to touch the hair on his head that was still holding on to his post, and smiled, "I don't have a headache, how can I tell you, I'm afraid you have something in your mind."

When he said this, I really had an idea. It turned out that I was not nervous at all in the morning, but actually had a premonition, and it was obviously not a good premonition.

I said: "Guessing riddles is too brain-intensive, so you'd better just say it."

The signature pen that the boss had been holding in his hand to play with on the table suddenly paused, and his honest and kind smiling face also restrained, and he said seriously: "Actually, this is the case of Joe, the case before your vacation, was it not that you were released later?" It’s a theory, that design recently won an award.”

"Really? It's a good thing to win an award." I said with a smile, knowing in my heart that if it's a good thing for me, the boss shouldn't have this expression at all.The reason why he foreshadowed so much was to prepare me mentally.

Seeing the boss's embarrassed face, I smiled again: "Don't you think so?"

"Well, of course a good thing is a good thing, that is," he paused for a moment, and he simply poured out his brains, "Joe, the winner of the design is Alan. Of course, I know it shouldn't be him, you are the one who really draws the design." The person who drafted it, and you spent so much energy..."

"Why him? He deserves a prize for what he has done?" I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't force it, so I asked with a dull face.

The boss looked at me fixedly, as if he also found it difficult to explain, but he had to give an explanation, he sighed, and said with some seriousness: "I don't tell you what the reason is. In fact, it's not just our circle. , there is some opacity everywhere, can you understand?"

I didn't speak.

What else can I say, the boss has already talked about this point, what I say is superfluous, it is impossible to change the fact that my hard work has been stolen, and it will be criticized for being small-minded and disregarding the overall situation .

I don't care about what other people say, and no matter where I talk about this matter, I may not be defeated.I just think that as the boss said, since it is an industry rule, none of us know what mines are hidden in the deep water area.It's just a joke for a while.

I don't want to be the laughing stock of others, but I also don't want to be a soft persimmon who is so bullied that I dare not squeak on my head.I lowered my eyes and let out a sneer, then slowly raised my head to meet the boss's incomparably complicated eyes.

"Mr. Liu, I don't have any other ideas, as long as Allen admits that I painted that thing."
