After spending the whole night concentrating and calmly, Xu Huaisong was awakened by the sound of an alarm in the early morning.
Immediately afterwards, a hand grabbed his chest indiscriminately.
He closed his eyes and frowned tightly, and grabbed this hand: "Your phone is not here..."
Ruan Yu was confused, half-closed his eyes and raised his head: "Where is that?"
It may be that she lived alone for a long time before, and she has a habit of putting her mobile phone within reach of the bed when she sleeps to ensure a sense of security, and she hasn't changed it yet.
Xu Huaisong was woken up in the middle of the night last night, so she put her phone on the bedside table.
He was silent for a moment in pain, opened his eyes stimulated by the sudden ringing of the mobile phone, turned his head and fumbled a few times, pinched the alarm clock, turned around and stuffed her into his arms again: "What alarm clock to set?"
"I can't swagger and fall asleep, I'm eating breakfast for nothing at your house," Ruan Yu said painfully, grabbing his clothes, "You didn't pinch my lazy mode, if it rings again, I'll..."
Before she could finish the word "get up", she had already fallen asleep.
Xu Huaisong also quickly fell unconscious.
When I woke up again, the aroma of porridge was already overflowing.
Ruan Yu opened his eyes and was stunned, then sat up and pushed Xu Huaisong: "What time is it?"
Xu Huaisong woke up and turned around, picked up his watch and looked at it: "Seven forty-five."
She quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to wash up.
"Don't worry." Xu Huaisong then lifted the quilt, opened the door and walked to the kitchen, said a few words, then came back and squeezed into the bathroom, hugging her from behind, "I'm going to admit my mistake, saying I accidentally choked her Alarm clock, just take your time."
Ruan Yu just finished applying facial cleanser and wanted to rinse off, so he pushed him with his elbow: "Then don't stand in the way of official business."
He didn't rest well on the plane, and he is still sleepy now, squinting his eyes and resting his chin on her collarbone, giving her half of his body weight.
Ruan Yu washed his face with a heavy load, bent over and washed it off with difficulty, then tilted his head and pressed his water-stained face against him: "Wake up quickly."
Xu Huaisong, who wiped his face with cold water, opened his eyes, came to his senses, raised his hand and took a dry towel to wipe his face, then turned his face to wipe hers, but as soon as he touched her, she stopped him .
"Hey, the direction is wrong! If you rub it like this, your skin will loosen!"
Xu Huaisong stood there: "Then how do you wipe it?"
She gestured upwards: "You have to push up gently."
Xu Huaisong had no choice but to do so, wiped her face dry, and sighed: "You have changed too."
Ruan Yu looked at him with pouting mouth: "What's wrong with me?"
He glanced at her lightly: "At times like this before, you would only say, Xu Huaisong, you are so kind."
Ruan Yu laughed out loud, and was about to tiptoe to kiss him when he suddenly heard Grandma Xu's voice from outside the room: "Little Niangyu, what are you listening to!"
The two paused, and then heard Xu Huaishi say dejectedly: "Grandma, why are you grabbing my bag? Let me see if my brother is up!"
"..." Xu Huaisong gritted his teeth, opened the bathroom door and went out, "You do too little homework every day, don't you?"
Xu Huaishi ran away from the crime scene with her head in her arms: "Mom, Mom! I'm here to serve you porridge!"
The two of them returned to Hangzhou after breakfast. On the way, Ruan Yu and Xu Huaisong said with emotion: "Actually, I think it's not that Auntie doesn't care about Uncle at all. You should concentrate on dealing with the law test these days, and then find an opportunity to talk to him." She talk?"
Xu Huaisong did not speak.
Ruan Yu glanced at him, and was about to question him for ignoring her, when he smiled and said, "Got it." Then he reached out and shook her.
She fends him off: "drive well."
With a girlfriend who was stricter than the traffic police, Xu Huaisong had no choice but to put his hands back on the steering wheel and concentrate on driving all the way to Hangzhou.
But more serious things are yet to come.
Returning to Hangzhou to start the emergency test preparation mode, Ruan Yu treated him like a son, staring at him every day with a look of "mother believes you can do it" to study the questions, stewing this and that to nourish his brain, and finally make him angry Come up, and control the number of his indulgences, strictly prohibiting him from excessive consumption.
On the day of the Fa exam, she even specially wore a wine-red dress to celebrate, and accompanied him to the exam room in person.
Xu Huaisong was convinced, but he also noticed the reason why she was so flamboyant recently.
Film work has been suspended. Although she doesn't seem to care much, she feels somewhat empty in her heart, so she deliberately keeps him so tight and doesn't distract herself from thinking about those scrapped scripts.
Once when he was reviewing, he saw that she seemed to be preparing the outline of the new book, but it didn't go well, and he scribbled and corrected it, and finally threw away the manuscript paper.
He thought, this feeling is probably like stretching halfway and being interrupted, trying to stretch again, but losing strength.
After taking the exam for six hours a day, it was already evening when Xu Huaisong came out of the exam room. He saw Ruan Yu waiting in the distance and was about to walk over when he was suddenly stopped by two girls running up: "Student!"
Both of them looked quite young, and they seemed to be candidates for today.
Xu Huaisong stopped in his tracks, did not speak, and looked at them suspiciously.
One of the girls took a breath, lowered her head and handed him a pen: "Hi, I'm the examinee sitting next to you today, and your pen was left in the examination room..."
Xu Huaisong looked down. An unfamiliar pen.
"This is not my pen."
"Ah..." The other party raised his head, showing embarrassment, and cast a look of help at the girl beside him.
Xu Huaisong nodded towards them and walked away.
Another girl bravely chased after her: "Classmate, she... she just wanted to ask you for your WeChat account!"
Xu Huaisong stopped in his tracks, and replied lightly, "Sorry, I don't have this."
Both of them choked, and just as their faces drooped, they suddenly saw a woman in a wine-red dress walking towards him and stopped him.
She glanced at them and asked him with a smile: "Student, I don't have a WeChat account, do you have a license plate number?"
Then, when they saw the man who had ruthlessly rejected them three seconds ago, he lowered his head and smiled, curling his lips and saying, "Yes, come on?"
Seeing the two walking away together, the two girls supported each other messily in the cool breeze of the early autumn evening: "It turns out that we don't need WeChat IDs to strike up a conversation now, but the license plate number instead?"
"Well, remember well, if you meet this kind of man again, you won't miss it!"
Ruan Yu angrily followed Xu Huaisong into the car: "I haven't looked at you for a few hours, you're making love!"
"I..." He smiled helplessly and wrongedly, and was about to coax her, but the mobile phone that had just been turned on received several text message reminders one after another.
It shows that Xu Huaishi made several phone calls during the shutdown period of his exam.
Ruan Yu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone: "Hurry up and go back, I shouldn't call you like this if it's nothing serious."
He said "hmm" and called Xu Huaishi back. As soon as he connected, he heard her deliberately lowered voice: "Brother, my mother and I saw the news."
Xu Huaisong frowned, and was about to ask some news, but stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, as if he understood something.
When Ruan Yu heard this, he quickly opened Weibo.
A piece of news popped up in the trending list. It was the news that the Su City Court decided to retry the Jiang Yi case. A video was attached at the bottom, which was the scene of Jiang Yi sitting in front of the police station and crying loudly, and Xu Huaisong stepped forward to comfort him. Scenes.
It is estimated that it was photographed by passers-by at that time and sent to the reporter.
The sympathetic comments below exploded.
Although their faces were mosaiced and others couldn't tell them apart, Xu Huaishi and Tao Rong must have recognized Xu Huaisong at a glance.
Xu Huaishi on the other end continued: "Mom hasn't said a word, she has been cleaning all afternoon, and she is absent-minded when I talk to her."
He sighed: "I'll come back when I'm free, you spend more time with her these two days, you know?"
"Understood." Xu Huaishi was silent, and when he was about to hang up the phone, he said in a crying voice, "Brother..."
"No need to be sorry." Xu Huaisong interrupted her, "Except for the criminal and his accomplices, no one is really at fault in this matter."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Huaisong sat in the car in silence for a long time.
Ruan Yu didn't bother to pursue his peach blossoms, and patted the back of his hand and said: "It's a foregone conclusion, and no one can change its past trajectory, but this trajectory is not over here. Jiang Yi wants Let's keep living, and we're going to keep fighting."
Xu Huaisong turned his head and saw her smiling: "Jiang Yi's case has come to light, but Zhou Jun's case has not yet. If everyone only believes in their own eyes, then we will never know who will become the next Jiang Yi , and where is another Wei Jin complacent, looking at the whole situation with a smile. So you have to do your best for the client like your father, and continue to fight."
Xu Huaisong gave a "hmm", looked at her and asked, "Then are you afraid?" Just like his mother was at the time.
Ruan Yu shook his head and looked back at him seriously: "I'm not afraid of gossip, I will always be with you."
Xu Huaisong smiled, and suddenly heard the phone ring again.
This time it's Miss Zhang's call.
He picked it up and heard Zhang Ling say in surprise, "Xu Lu, I just received a notice from the court that in Zhou Jun's case, two friends from the victim's side are willing to testify in court!"
He frowned: "How to say?"
"Have you watched TV? The big news about the retrial of a ten-year-old case in Suzhou has caused a lot of uproar in the city. The family of the victim may have been touched by this incident and changed their minds. I will go to the court tomorrow to find out more details .”
Xu Huaisong closed his eyes and let out a long breath: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, there was another silence in the car.
After a while, Ruan Yu suddenly laughed with emotion: "Huai Song, do you believe in cause and effect?"
"Huh?" Xu Huaisong turned his head.
"I always feel that there is cause and effect in this world. You see, you discovered clues to Jiang Yi's case because of the investigation of Zhou Jun's case, and Zhou Jun's case got a turn for the better because of the truth of Jiang Yi's case. No matter how you go around Turn, where people plant the cause, they will always reap the corresponding fruit in another place.”
Xu Huaisong bent his lips and smiled: "Then do you want to hear your cause and effect?"
She was stunned: "What?"
"The Cen Group contacted me two days ago."
"Um?"
He smiled and touched her face: "After Wei Jin was arrested, your movie had a financial problem. After Mr. Cen found out about this, he planned to buy part of Huanshi's equity and invest in your movie, as a reward for your plagiarism incident. compensation."
Ruan Yu was so startled that he didn't close his mouth for a long time: "Really?"
Xu Huaisong nodded: "I planned to go to Huanshi tomorrow to discuss the specific matters, and then I will tell you about it."
"But," she frowned, "this compensation is too expensive, and I can't bear it..."
He tapped her forehead lightly: "He also makes money investing in movies, and he makes much more money than you."
Ruan Yu said "Oh", thinking rightly, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Since I have this relationship, do I have more say in this movie?"
"If you want, I can negotiate a supplementary contract and help you fight for it."
She nodded: "There's nothing else, just... I want to share this karma with someone."
"Um?"
"This series of blunders is also thanks to Sun Miaohan. If I have a say in the casting, I would like to ask her if she would like to come back and try the scene again. Let's make a clean movie."
