Chapter 29 chapter 29

"Is there a good chance of winning this lawsuit?" In this quiet tea room, Qiao Lianjian's voice was as calm as water.

"It's hard to say." Gu Xunze replied sincerely, "The other party's lawyer can apply for a reduced sentence on the grounds that the defendant has mental problems/and did not cause substantial harm to the plaintiff."

"How could that be!?" Qiao Lianjian's face was terribly dark, "How much suffering did Xiao Mu suffer because of him? How could I just let him go so easily?"

Gu Xunze looked at him, and just replied lightly: "I will try my best, trust me."

His tone is light, but the sincerity contained in it is very heavy.

A few seconds later, a rush of phone ringing broke the awkward silence.

Secretary Lin stood up in a hurry, and smiled apologetically at Qiao Lian when he saw them: "Sorry, I'm going to answer the phone, Young Master Qiao/Lawyer Gu, please talk slowly."

With that said, Secretary Lin walked out of the reception room with her mobile phone tightly in her hand.

Feeling the fiery gaze projected from Gu Xunze, Qiao Lianjian's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he quietly lowered his head to drink tea.

Gu Xunze supported his head, looked at him leisurely, and said in his mouth: "I have decided to accept this lawsuit. I don't know how generous Qiao Shao will pay me?"

Qiao Lianjian looked at him and replied seriously: "I can give you as much money as you want..."

Gu Xunze cut him off, "Vulgar."

Qiao Lianjian stared at Gu Xunze's unpredictable smile, after all, he couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart.I had no choice but to say: "You can ask yourself, as long as you can meet it, I will try my best to fulfill it for you."

"Really?" Gu Xunze leaned on the table and leaned closer to him, with a hot breath and a playful smile.

Qiao Lianjian avoided it calmly: "I promised you, and I won't go back on my word."

Gu Xunze looked at him with a half-smile: "Then... sleep with me, Young Master Qiao?"

Suddenly hearing this unexpected answer, Qiao Lianjian's hands trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed onto his shirt, leaving dark marks.

Qiao Lianjian flicked it with his hands in a panic, looking down at the ups and downs of the tea powder in the cup, so as to hide the unnatural expression on his face.

Gu Xunze asked with a smile, "How?"

Looking up again, Qiao Lianjian had put on a calm and self-possessed look, and he asked, "Are you sure this is the reward you are asking for, not my reward?"

He looked directly into Gu Xunze's eyes, his eyes flickering.

Just as Gu Xunze was about to say something, Secretary Lin rushed in in a panic.

"Master Qiao, there is something wrong with the young master." Secretary Lin reported the truth.

Qiao Lianjian's expression became tense immediately. He put the teacup on the tea table, pulled his coat aside, and was about to get up.

"What's going on?" There was a hint of eagerness in his tone.

"There was a call from the hospital. It seems that Mr. Qi took the young master away."

Qiao Lianjian frowned, and ordered coldly: "Go and bring Xiao Mu back."

Secretary Lin was surprised and said: "Now? The young master is not in good health, so it's not suitable for running back and forth."

Qiao Lianjian was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking quietly.After a long time, he said without doubt: "Tomorrow morning, I must see him appear at Qiao's house, understand?"

"Understood, I'll make arrangements now." Secretary Lin nodded, turned and left the reception room.

Gu Xunze laughed dryly a few times, and got up as well: "It seems that Young Master Qiao still has housework to deal with, so I won't nag, let's talk about it next time."

"Then let's go." Qiao Lianjian waited for him to walk to her side, as if she wanted to walk with him.

Gu Xunze asked strangely: "Where are you going?"

Qiao Lianjian lowered his eyes, making the outline of his brows more profound.He replied calmly and calmly: "Didn't I say I want to sleep with you? To your house, or to my house?"

Gu Xunze was stunned for a long time, then laughed: "Go to my house, it's very close to here."

"Yeah." Qiao Lianjian nodded, then took a big step, walking in front of Gu Xunze.

Gu Xunze stood where he was, looking at Qiao Lianjian's back who seemed to want to flee quickly, a satisfied smile was drawn on the corner of his lips.

Qi Lin placed Lu Xiumu, who had been in fear all day, on the bed, covered him with a quilt carefully, and then closed the curtains in the room tightly.

The whole space suddenly became dark, and the air seemed to be a little depressing.

Lu Xiumu turned his head sideways, unwilling to look at him.

Looking at his stubborn back, Qi Lin could only say softly: "Xiao Mu, you should sleep for a while. I will make soup for you later, and wake you up when the time comes."

Seeing that Lu Xiumu didn't want to pay attention to him, Qi Lin knew that he was also tired and needed to rest, so he paused for a few seconds before saying, "Take a good rest, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

His voice was as low as ever, and this sentence seemed to be a firm promise.

Just when Qi Lin was about to leave the room, Lu Xiumu suddenly spoke in a soft and hoarse voice: "You will not belong to me."

"What?" Qi Lin couldn't understand for a while.

"From the moment I met you, I knew that we were destined to have no intersection, you would not belong to me, and you would not really stop for me."

Lu Xiumu's voice was not loud, but every word was heard clearly and profoundly in Qi Lin's ears, deeply engraved into his mind.

Qi Lin wanted to wait for Lu Xiumu's next explanation, but he didn't move and closed his eyes weakly.

Qi Lin only thought it was a joke, turned around and left the room, and closed the door gently.

He rested on the sofa for a while, counted the time when Lu Xiumu would wake up, then got up, took his coat and wallet, and walked out of the house.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

Qi Lin put his hands in his pockets and walked unhurriedly.He could feel the long and rapid changes in the light, the lonely and melancholy evening coming.

Suddenly, there is no cloud in the evening sky, the light blue sky is so high and far away, and the sun is about to exhaust its last afterglow.

The light is irretrievably fading, and it is desolate.

In the sky and surroundings, there are only a few touches of paleness and deep yellow, a touch of desolation and silence.The dusk is low, the lights are just coming on, and people are hurrying home in the dusk.

It's early spring and February, but today's temperature is cold.Qi Lin shrank his neck.

When Qi Lin passed the next street corner, he stepped into a small supermarket.

There were unexpectedly many guests at this moment, noisy but lively.

Qi Lin picked out some spare ribs and a small piece of winter melon, and muttered, "Do you want to add some corn?"

For the sake of nutritional balance, he finally took some corn.

After choosing, he carried these things in his hand and went to the cashier to check out.

The cashier seemed a little curious that he, a big man, would also come to the supermarket to buy vegetables, so he took a second look at him.

After walking out of the supermarket, Qi Lin didn't have the leisure time to enjoy the scenery on the street anymore, he hurried back quickly.

It's getting late, I don't know if Lu Xiumu is awake, and if he feels hungry.

The first thing Qi Lin did when he got home was to take a look in the room.

Seeing that Lu Xiumu was sleeping peacefully, he was too embarrassed to wake him up.

In the past few days, Lu Xiumu must have not been able to sleep well.

Qi Lin quietly left and went to the kitchen to get busy.In the years just after graduating from university, he cooked for himself.Although the taste is really not flattering, but he always came here like this.

Later, when he got busy with work, he also got used to ordering takeaway outside.He hasn't touched the kitchen for a long time.

I don't know if what I made suits Lu Xiumu's taste...

Qi Lin couldn't help worrying.

He followed the tutorials on the Internet and frantically cooked the winter melon pork ribs soup.He put all the ingredients into the pressure cooker, added a lot of water and condiments, turned on the liquefaction stove, and simmered slowly.

After waiting intently for a while, it finally came out.He hurriedly slapped a bowl, and when he turned around, he found that Lu Xiumu had gotten up at some point and was standing silently behind him.

Holding the bowl of soup, Qi Lin was stunned for a long time before asking, "Are you up yet?"

Although he didn't realize this question until after he finished asking, it was very brainless.

Lu Xiumu nodded and scratched the back of his head.His expression was still sleepy, as if he hadn't rested well.He said: "I was woken up by the sound of the range hood."

Qi Lin put the bowl on the table, and quickly turned off the range hood.

Lu Xiumu turned his eyes to the steaming bowl of soup and asked, "Is this for me?"

Before Qi Lin could reply, he moved the stool and sat at the dining table.

He is currently wearing Qi Lin's pajamas, which do not fit the size, and the strong contrast makes him look even thinner.

The wide sleeves of the pajamas brushed across the table, Lu Xiumu took the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup tremblingly, slightly parted his bloodless lips, and put it into his mouth.

After a few seconds, his expression became a little complicated.

Qi Lin asked cautiously, "Is it too salty?"

"Too light."

Lu Xiumu took another sip: "It's like drinking plain water, without any taste."

Hearing such an evaluation, Qi Lin also took a spoon and took a sip: "It's okay, it's not as exaggerated as you said."

Looking at Lu Xiumu's pale face, he suddenly remembered that Lu Xiumu was a sick person, and his sense of taste was already dull.

Lu Xiumu seemed to be aware of this too, so he didn't speak any more.

Qi Lin put down the spoon angrily, and said with regret, "I'm so confident, but I still messed up. Why don't we order takeaway?"

"No need, I'm not hungry." Lu Xiumu said lightly.

He stood up and walked unsteadily to the balcony.He lay on the guardrail, staring intently at the night scene outside.

Tonight's night wind was howling, Qi Lin was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he found a blanket and draped it over his body.

Lu Xiumu usually has a smiling face, but today he rarely showed any expression, as if he was bored with everything.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Lin asked patiently.

A gust of oncoming wind blew his forehead hair, and he reached out to tidy it up.

"Night sky." Lu Xiumu's voice was so soft that it would be blown away by the wind in a moment.

At this time, Lu Xiumu's clear eyes were wide open. The evening wind blew and stirred the deep pool in his eyes, as if there were waves rippling slightly in it.

Qi Lin was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his own voice: "It's a pity that the night sky here is not beautiful, it's pitch black. It's also blocked by many tall buildings, and only a small corner can be seen."

"Yes." Lu Xiumu agreed.

"The starry sky we went to see together a few weeks ago is the most beautiful. The stars are so bright that they are embedded in it."

Lu Xiumu rolled his eyes, as if lost in memory.After a long time, he lamented: "Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity again."

Qi Lin moved closer, surrounded Lu Xiumu from behind, and held his cold hand: "Why don't we have a chance, the future is long. The place to see the starry sky is so close, we can go whenever we want in the future. go."

Lu Xiumu closed his eyes, felt the wind blowing on his face, and did not answer.
