At the gate of the law school, occasionally there would be some middle-aged workers with distressed faces, standing on the side of the road, or squatting on the road, cautiously stopping the well-dressed students and asking if they could help them.
This is not the first time Xu Jin has met them, and I have a general understanding that most of them are working in the capital. They encounter rights protection problems, or wage arrears, or encounter unfair treatment, do not understand the law, and have no money to find a lawyer.
"I'm only a freshman, and I don't have much experience yet, you can look for it..."
She stopped to wait and see. There were students from the legal aid club in the school who were often on duty here, and it might not be easy to find them in the evening.
"Let me do it!"
There was a voice behind her. Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her sweat with her sleeve. She had just come back from a run and was about to wash up.
Glancing at the boy who took the note from the uncle, she shrugged, smiled at the uncle, and jogged away.
"Uncle, come here, you can tell me what's going on, and I'll help you record it."
While talking, he looked at Xu Jin's back as he jogged away. He wanted to strike up a conversation, but he missed it again.
It was evening, after washing up, night had already fallen, Xu Jin was alone in the dormitory to watch the video for a while, and the phone rang.
"Mom, um... I didn't go out to play, I'm too lazy to go, oh, it's much better here than at home, don't worry, um, um, it depends on the summer vacation, it's still very early."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jin snorted, it's too fake, the couple is too fake.
I want to go out for a while during the summer vacation, but I don't want to take her with me, so I call first to find out.
Not being a father!
She lay on the bed and shook her feet a few times, then suddenly turned over and got out of bed, changed clothes and went out.
She found a secluded place on the playground to practice boxing, but she didn't expect anyone to approach her. She put on her hood and prepared to leave, not wanting to be photographed.
…
The next day I picked up the courier and met this person again.
"Hello classmate, do you want to help?"
"I have something to say." Xu Jin glanced at him.
"Uh… "
Seeing him stuck, Xu Jin hugged the box and said, "I think you look familiar."
"Really?!" The other party was surprised.
"Wandering in front of me many times, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"..."
Xu Jin smiled and turned to go to the dormitory.
"I want to get to know you."
The boys quickly followed. .
"Why do you need to know each other?" Xu Jin asked.
"To make friends."
"My name is Xu Jin, do you know me?"
"My name is… "
"Wait, I didn't expect to meet you."
Oh!
"How was that uncle yesterday?" Seeing that he was still following, Xu Jin asked casually.
"His affairs involved a lot, did not comply with agency regulations, and only helped to suggest a direction for rights protection." He was still thinking about how hard it is to strike up a conversation, which is not very scientific.
"Oh."
Xu Jin responded, expressing his understanding.
Many things cannot be handled at will. If there are issues left over from history or are politically sensitive, they will refuse to act as an agent.
"Why do you want to know me?"
"I like athletic girls."
"It's a pity that sporty girls don't like you."
"..."
That's a real shame.
"Goodbye, junior."
"My name is Xu Jin."
"Oh, goodbye Xu Jin."
Seeing the downstairs of the dormitory, the boy greeted her and left. Fortunately, at least he knew her name.
…
In the future, my life will be busy and dull, without waves, only occasionally meeting with multiple companions when running, and sometimes talking a few words.
Xu Jin didn't care about the fact that she didn't send milk tea or flowers, didn't make appointments for dinner, but just got to know each other—if these things happened, she might have to consider changing the running route and time.
She hates those troublesome things and just wants to live a stable, free and free university life.
These four years are just a short period of life, and the future world will be broader.
Therefore, when this person finally couldn't help confessing, she clearly refused.
"I'm not going to have a relationship."
"Can you tell me why?"
"Study is very tiring, and I don't have so much energy to accompany another person, and I don't need to accompany me."
Xu Jin paused and said, "If you make me feel troublesome, I might not run."
"Understood. Let's just be friends. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. You like this, don't you?"
The boy said it easily and honestly, it was strange to say that it was Xu Jin like this that attracted him.
I just couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.
"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." Xu Jin took a deep look at him, and said in a deep thought, "You might as well pester me a little longer."
"Ok?"
"Then I have a reason to hate you, and then take the trouble to change the time and route to run frequently."
The boy was stunned, watching Xu Jin walk away briskly, tilted his head, and through the gaps in the leaves, fine pieces of sunlight fell down.
He didn't show up again for the next few weeks.
The roommates all found that he was a little different. He used to rely on his talent, not to mention hard work, nor to be lazy, but he rarely skipped classes.
Now I have picked up a large pile of books to prepare for the law test, or I am busy with club work.
Occasionally when I was tired, I would change into a new suit, go out for a run, and greet Xu Jin when I met her.
He could feel that this way he and Xu Jin got closer, and the two really became friends.
He knew that Xu Jin's refusal was not an excuse, but he really thought so. If she changed her mind and accepted someone else's pursuit in college, it would only prove that he misjudged the person, and there was nothing to regret.
In fact, apart from the things about men and women, there are many other beautiful things in university, such as working hard for one's own ideals.
In his sophomore year, at his suggestion, Xu Jin also joined the school's legal aid club, and the two could work together.
Sometimes when I go to the court to attend the trial and encounter an interesting case, I will notify each other.
"I'm so handsome, why don't you think about it?" More than a year ago, he definitely couldn't joke so easily.
"You are very similar to someone named Xu Shi'an."
"Like your brother?"
"Like his narcissistic appearance, shameless."
Xu Jin waved her hands with her mobile phone. She will be on vacation soon, and she still needs to find a part-time job to enrich her life.
After getting used to it in the capital, they are not used to going back to Jiangcheng, doing nothing all day long, watching Jiang He plant flowers, watching dramas with Xu Qing, the old couple is very idle, and I don’t know why Jiang He can grow flowers so happily, Not tired of it for twenty years in a row.
Xu Shi'an went home often, mainly to accompany Xiaoxiao. If Xiaoxiao didn't want to go back, she would probably be doing summer work in Los Angeles. If she didn't go back to make trouble, the couple lived comfortably in the old house without much pressure.
The last time I had a video with Jiang He, I saw Xu Qing wearing armor—something is wrong with this old man, it seems that he has not been normal.
On the contrary, my mother is used to it, wearing armor is nothing... If you want to criticize, you will criticize, if you don't listen, you will punch.
