It's just that when things came to an end, on Saturday, Qi Xi was completely intimidated.
A giant in language and a dwarf in action, she is right.
After all, she didn't really want to fall in love, and she felt that her purpose of making friends was not pure, so she felt ashamed in her heart, and suddenly she was a little afraid to go to this sorority. In the end, it was Zhao Yiran who dragged her to the scene.
Fortunately, the atmosphere of this fraternity blind date was not very heavy. Apart from the single people from the court and procuratorate, there were quite a few people from law firms or the labor inspection brigade. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, talking and laughing Everyone is said to be a member of the legal community, and there are many common topics. Even if it is not the purpose of a blind date, it is not bad to simply make friends and get to know some contacts in the legal circle.
Qi Xi also relaxed because of this relaxed atmosphere, and finally had a good chat with Liu Zhen, a young male judge in the civil court. The other party, Qi Xi, did not show excessive enthusiasm or obvious hints, and admitted that he was also drawn into this friendship by his colleagues. Yes, I just told Qi Xi the key details and points to note in many civil dispute cases with a brotherly attitude. The two had a good business chat, and finally exchanged contact information with each other. Qi Xi also made an agreement Ask the other party for advice next time you have a problem.
But for this event, Qi Xi felt quite relaxed, and Zhao Yiran looked bitter and bitter.
"Did you know? In our court alone, six male judges asked me for your contact information, and there were two more from the procuratorate who asked me to ask you out for dinner alone next time I have a chance." Zhao still was full of resentment, "It's the first time so many men came to me, I didn't have time to be flattered, but I found out that they asked me to be a matchmaker."
Qi Xi didn't have any special thoughts about the other courts and procuratorates, so he didn't give any more contact information, but occasionally had a lot of exchanges with that young male judge, Liu Zhen.
This way, the weekend is over, and in the new week, Qi Xi cheered himself up and returned to work.
Although I really wanted to avoid Gu Yan, Qi Xi and him happened to have a case going to the Chengxi Court this morning, so in order to save office expenses, the two of them took a taxi to go there together. awkward conversation.
As soon as he arrived at the court, Qi Xi couldn't wait to part ways with Gu Yan: "Then I'll submit supplementary evidence first, and you can go on your own."
Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi: "Then contact me after you're done, and we'll take a taxi back together."
Qi Xi didn't really want to spend more time alone with Gu Yan, but he couldn't think of a valid reason for refusing, so he said vaguely: "Let's talk."
But soon, her legitimate reason for refusal came—
"Qixi? What a coincidence? Are you here to hold a court session?"
Qi Xi turned around following the voice, and saw Liu Zhen who had had a pleasant chat before.
She was also a little surprised, and greeted the other party with a smile: "Yes, I just came to deliver the materials."
"Then have lunch together later?" The other party also laughed, "I can tell you in detail about the practical question you asked me last time."
That would be great!
Qi Xi didn't mean how eager to learn, but she just felt that she finally had a reason to avoid Gu Yan. She looked at Gu Yan and cleared her throat: "Gu Yan, then you can go back after finishing your work. I'll stay here and have dinner with my friends." a meal."
Gu Yan has been answering calls from clients since early this morning. I am afraid that something difficult will happen to the case. His expression was calm at first, but now that he is in the court, the psychological pressure from the case is probably greater, and his expression is not so good now. His lips are flat, like a hard-to-please boss.
But at this moment, several of his colleagues came behind Liu Zhen, and when they saw Qi Xi, they began to wink and joke at Liu Zhen: "Oh, what is the fate between us Xiao Liu and Lawyer Qi? We just met at the social gathering this Saturday. Well, why did we meet again on Monday..."
Liu Zhen was a little embarrassed by the teasing, so he could only blushed and desperately clarified: "Don't talk nonsense, Qi Xi came here for work."
Liu Zhen had to deal with the ridicule of several male colleagues, and couldn't care about Qi Xi on the side, but at this moment, Gu Yan, who was standing not far from Qi Xi, made a sound—
"Did you go to a social gathering on Saturday?"
Gu Yan came to the court today, and the time was tight. Qi Xi realized that he was still there when he heard his voice. She wondered, "You haven't left yet?"
As a result, when these words came out, Gu Yan's face darkened visible to the naked eye, and the man said in a strange way: "I'm bothering you, then I'm leaving."
Gu Yan dropped these two sentences, and left with a sullen face.
Qi Xi didn't pay much attention to it, because Liu Zhen had already dismissed several of his colleagues, and stood in front of Qi Xi again: "I have a court to hold now, so I will send you the dining place later, see you at noon."
"Okay, Judge Liu!"
Qi Xiying was intact, and waved goodbye to Liu Zhen.
"It's like parting from life and death, why? Not seeing each other for a day, like three autumns?"
Before Qi Xi could let go of his waving hand, Gu Yan's strange voice came from behind him again.
Qi Xi was startled, she turned her head: "Gu Yan? Why are you back again?"
"What? The road to the court belongs to your house?" Gu Yan didn't know why, how bad the case was today, it was like being shot. He glanced at the back of Liu Zhen walking away, "He looks a bit older, as if he is not our peers."
The man is really speechless, how can he compare with everything
Qi Xi spoke for Liu Zhen: "It's only five years older, it's okay, he has the temperament of the brother next door, he is also very mature and stable, with strong professional ability and professional knowledge, he is a very good judge."
Gu Yan looked a little hard to please, and he asked in a tone of finding fault: "Didn't you say that you are obsessed with career and have no intention of falling in love? How do you go to socialize? Didn't that junior firmly refuse when he asked you to confess his love last time? That's why you like it." old?"
What about the old and tender ones, how about shabu-shabu beef when eating hot pot? Qi Xi was speechless.
And... And what does this have to do with Gu Yan? Obviously he himself has finally married Bai Yueguang's lover, but he still looks weird, as if he is very concerned that Qi Xi is jealous.
What right does he have to be jealous? I'm not single, so I went to have a room with Bai Yueguang!
Qi Xi was a little angry in his heart, and his tone was rare: "I just like the old ones, what's the matter? Do I still have to report to you?"
Probably because he didn't expect Qi Xi to say this, Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little dazed, then he tightened his lips and lowered his eyes: "No, you really don't need to report to me, don't you always think about something? Is that all? It really has nothing to do with me."
After the man finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Xi again. Although he didn't say anything more, his expression was like that of Qi Xi's victim, as if Qi Xi went to a fellowship and agreed to Liu Zhen's lunch offer. A moral scumbag.
Obviously it was Gu Yan who went to find a partner first!
How can such green tea? !
Does he still want to step on two boats
Think beautifully!
Qi Xi cheered herself up again, and then submitted the supplementary materials.
The case that Qi Xi followed up this time was already at the end of the day. She tried her best to find new supplementary evidence, but she was not sure whether it would be recognized. Did not formally re-enter the trial, but the docking judge looked at the evidence and felt that the effect should be supported.
This is simply wonderful!
Qi Xi came out of the judge's office with excitement, took out his mobile phone almost subconsciously, clicked on Gu Yan's WeChat page, and wanted to share the good news with Gu Yan.
After typing a line, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Qi Xi pursed his lips, and deleted the words in the answer box word by word. At this moment, Qi Xi felt a little resentment towards Gu Yan in his heart, and also a little bit of hatred towards himself—clearly said To stay away from Gu Yan, he clearly persuaded himself to move forward, meet new people, and forget Gu Yan, but when encountering happy things, his first reaction was that it would be great if Gu Yan knew about it.
She was sitting on a public seat in the waiting area of the court, staring at the small garden in the atrium of the court in a daze. At this time, the sunlight penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows and filled half of the corridor of the court.
Then Qi Xi received Gu Yan's WeChat message—
"Judges have become a high-risk profession, and grassroots judges are frequently retaliated against"
"The judge was stabbed to death by the male client in court for adjudicating divorce"
"To marry a judge, you must learn to play alone"
Twenty Disadvantages of Male Judges
…
Gu Yan sent a series of links.
Qi Xi stared blankly at the phone screen for a long time. Although the sun was shining brightly, she was suddenly a little depressed.
Gu Yan, Gu Yan.
She wanted to cry a little, how could he be like this.
Just when she was working so hard to build up her mind and give up on him, she sent her such ambiguous and suggestive things.
What does he mean
Tell yourself not to be with the judge, not to find the judge's boyfriend
What kind of boyfriend are you looking for
But I can't find him anyway, so what kind of difference does it make? Does he still want to sit back and enjoy the blessings of everyone
Qi Xi turned off her phone angrily, she decided not to talk to Gu Yan anymore, then she sorted out her emotions and went to Liu Zhen's appointment.
It was just because of Gu Yan's episode that Qi Xi was a little out of his mind throughout the meal. She smiled at Liu Zhen and was able to chime in with his topic and discuss some legal issues normally, but Qi Xi knew that she was completely absent-minded.
After a meal, Liu Zhen wanted to rush back to handle the case, so Qi Xi said goodbye to him.
She walked slowly towards the taxi stand in front of the gate of the court, and then saw Gu Yan.
But his case should have ended two hours ago.
Gu Yan stood at the intersection where anyone who wanted to leave the court would pass. Because he was in court, he was wearing a neat black suit and his hair was simply done. He became more mature and stable than usual. He was tall and tall with very long legs. The proportions of the person are so perfect that there are no flaws. The afternoon sun hits his handsome eyebrows lazily, but his expression is indifferent, as if he cannot be melted by the warm sun, with a bit of coldness. At this moment, he seems to be It's like talking to someone on the phone.
When he saw Qi Xi, he took off the headset, hung up the phone, and walked towards Qi Xi.
"Why is the phone turned off?"
"Is the meal ready?"
Gu Yan's question was very concise, and he didn't seem to be expecting Qi Xi's answer. After he finished asking, he lowered his gaze: "Let's go, let's take a taxi back together."
Qi Xi's heart suddenly beat fast again.
This is a very normal conversation.
However, Gu Yan is like Qi Xi's allergen. Even if she gets a little bit of it, she will have all kinds of strange side effects—she becomes hot-headed, and there are a lot of emotions in her heart that want to explode, but she doesn't know how to do so.
Qi Xi didn't leave, she stood stubbornly where she was, staring at Gu Yan: "Have you had lunch yet?"
Gu Yan's expression couldn't be seen clearly, he quickly looked away, and his voice was a little low: "No."
"why do not you eat?"
"Can't eat it."
Qi Xi knew that he shouldn't ask any more questions. A mature person should laugh and tell Gu Yan to eat quickly and end this topic safely, but Qi Xi didn't know what happened to him today, as if he wanted an answer.
She stared at Gu Yan, a little aggressive: "Then why can't you eat it?"
Gu Yan looked a little annoyed, he didn't seem to want to answer, but finally answered: "Your phone is off."
"So you've been waiting here for me?"
"Um."
This was not any answer Qi Xi wanted to hear.
She wanted Gu Yan to tell her that he didn't eat because he was sick and couldn't eat, and it had nothing to do with Qi Xi; he was waiting here because of other things, and it had nothing to do with Qi Xi at all.
Qi Xi hoped that Gu Yan's answer would make him give up, but Gu Yan did not.
Qi Xi felt like a foolish fox, while Gu Yan was like a treacherous businessman selling grapes. Obviously, the grapes had already been ordered by other sellers and would not be sold to Qi Xi again, but this vile and treacherous businessman still wanted to change. Pulling a large advertisement to show off in front of Qi Xi, she clarified that her grapes are not sour at all, and advertised how sweet and juicy her grapes are. However, when Qi Xi wanted to reach out to taste it, the treacherous The businessman took the grapes away, and told Qi Xi not to sell them very tastelessly and confidently. These good grapes had already been ordered to go away and have owners.
Although he knew it was hypocritical, Qi Xi still felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry for a moment.
Damn Gu Yan, can't he let himself go
I really, never want to see Gu Yan again.
He is like a glamorous luxury displayed in a window, and Qi Xi is like a person who has no money in his pocket to buy it. If he doesn't pass by the window, the desire for what he wants and the discomfort of not being able to get it won't be so strong.
And the reality keeps reminding Qi Xi of this fact time and time again.
Before the conversation with Gu Yan could continue, his cell phone rang. Gu Yan frowned slightly and picked it up.
Although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, Qi Xi could tell from the voice on the phone that the caller was Gu Yan's new girlfriend, the female neighbor who lived downstairs—Gu Yan's regular girlfriend.
The sun was shining brightly around, but Qi Xi felt as if she was suddenly trapped in a rainstorm, surrounded by people hugging each other and holding umbrellas, only she didn't have an umbrella, but at a loss, she wanted to find someone to share the umbrella , but found that everyone already has someone to share their umbrella with.
Just seeing Gu Yan every day has already made Qi Xi feel a lot of undue thoughts and discomfort, and seeing Gu Yan inadvertently contacting his girlfriend, Qi Xi feels even more out of breath.
Qi Xi felt that instead of jumping back and forth on the verge of violating morality, it would be better to quit completely.
I need to leave the competition.
