Looking back on 2009

Chapter 353 Power outage

After removing the rice paper, Chen Zhihe looked carefully again, it was indeed good.

"like?"

"Well, I feel fine."

"Send it to you."

Chen Zhihe looked at Lu Caiwei, saw her looking straight at him, and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

Lu Caiwei got up, took out a paper tube, rolled up the words just written and stuffed it in, then handed it to Chen Zhihe.

The two returned to the living room and sat down.

Putting the paper tube aside, Chen Zhihe picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

"Find an internship?" Chen Zhihe asked.

Lu Caiwei nodded and said, "Well, I've been there for a while."

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Lu Caiwei thought for a while and said, "It's different from what I thought."

Chen Zhihe laughed out loud, it was naturally different.

Not to mention an intern, even a trainee lawyer. He was also a handyman when he first went to the law firm, so he would naturally feel a gap.

The profession of lawyers looks glamorous and interesting, but it is actually very boring, and even a bit torturous at first.

"Why is it different?" Chen Zhihe asked intentionally.

Lu Caiwei said: "I thought I would do odd jobs at the beginning, but I didn't expect to be able to get in touch with the actual business when I first went. It was very interesting."

Chen Zhihe's face froze, and he cursed inwardly.

This is sexism at all, no, it's still face discrimination.

It's beautiful, it's just not the same.

Thinking about the difficulties he had during his internship, Chen Zhihe felt depressed for a while.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "That's not bad, it's very difficult for newcomers to get started in business."

Lu Caiwei nodded, and said with some doubts: "You seem to know the law firm very well?"

Chen Zhihe laughed and said, "I've heard about it."

Lu Caiwei didn't dwell on this topic, and asked casually, "What about you?"

Chen Zhihe said, "I have applied for postgraduate insurance."

Lu Caiwei nodded. Chen Zhihe told her before: "This school?"

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "Well, I don't want to go anywhere else, I'm used to it."

Lu Caiwei said thoughtfully, "Good habit."

Then, the two of them started to have nothing to say again, and each drank tea.

The tea is not bitter, but has a faint floral fragrance, it should be some kind of scented tea, anyway, Chen Zhihe can't smell what kind of flower it is.

Suddenly, the lights in the living room flickered and then went out completely.

The moonlight outside the window did not shine in, it only stayed on the balcony, and the room was completely dark.

With Xi Wei's light, Chen Zhihe felt that Lu Caiwei seemed to tremble.

"power cut?"

"Well...it should be...it should be." Lu Caiwei's voice was a little trembling.

"Maybe the house is too old and the wiring is aging, it doesn't matter." Chen Zhihe said softly.

"Yes." Lu Caiwei replied in a low voice.

Vaguely, Chen Zhihe saw Lu Caiwei hugging her shoulders with both hands, something seemed wrong.

Thinking of the childhood story she told herself before, Chen Zhihe remembered.

She is afraid of the dark.

For some reason, seeing Lu Caiwei who treats everything indifferently like this, Chen Zhihe felt soft in his heart.

"You can sit by my side." Chen Zhihe said softly.

Lu Caiwei didn't answer, she seemed to be struggling for a while, and mustered up the courage to sit over.

Sensing Lu Caiwei sitting over, Chen Zhihe changed his posture, as if blocking something for her.

Suddenly, Chen Zhihe felt a chill in his hands, and he held himself tightly.

It was Lu Caiwei's hand.

Feeling the strength in his hands, Chen Zhihe knew that Lu Caiwei was flustered.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhihe stretched out his hand, put his arms around her shoulders, and let Lu Caiwei, who was shrunk into a ball, lean into his arms.

Lu Caiwei didn't resist at all, and after the meal, she clung to Chen Zhihe tightly and buried her face in his chest.

In this way, in the darkness, Lu Caiwei gradually relaxed, and her breathing gradually became gentle.

After three long 10 minutes, the lights came on.

Brightness returned suddenly, Chen Zhihe squinted his eyes, and it took a while to get used to it.

Lu Caiwei in her arms didn't respond. Chen Zhihe looked down and saw that she was hugging him tightly and fell asleep peacefully.

Chen Zhihe was in a daze.

How did this happen tonight?
Originally, I just came over to take a look, but now Lu Caiwei is actually sleeping in my arms.

Looking down at Lu Caiwei with a peaceful expression, Chen Zhihe sighed.

Raising his head, Chen Zhihe had a deep thought on his face.

He was thinking, everything seemed to be arranged tonight, everything happened so naturally and logically.

However, staying with Lu Caiwei at such a close distance made him a little uncomfortable.

It all happened so fast that he had no time to think.

"What are you thinking?" Suddenly, Lu Caiwei in her arms woke up, opened her eyes, and she just looked straight at Chen Zhihe.

Chen Zhihe quickly let go and helped Lu Caiwei to sit up.

"I was thinking, but I didn't expect that there would be a power outage in Shanghai." Chen Zhihe said.

Lu Caiwei nodded, stroked her messy hair naturally, and said, "It's really rare, I haven't seen it before."

Standing up, she sat back on the original stool, looking at her expression, as if nothing happened before.

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

After all, Lu Caiwei still couldn't pretend that nothing happened, a blush flashed across her seemingly white and flawless face: "Just now...thank you."

As for whether Chen Zhihe came at the right time, only she knew.

Chen Zhihe said with a smile, "You're welcome."

I looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Chen Zhihe stood up, paused, and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

Lu Caiwei nodded slightly, but said nothing.

After walking a few steps, Chen Zhihe turned back again.

Picking up the paper tube on the sofa and waving it in his hand, Chen Zhihe winked at Lu Caiwei: "Thank you."

With a smile on her face, Lu Caiwei handed him Chen Zhihe's coat, and replied "You're welcome".

Watching Chen Zhihe go out, Lu Caiwei locked the door behind her, and she softened all of a sudden.

Lying on the sofa, she frowned for a while, and seemed to be laughing for a while.

……

When he got home, Chen Zhihe put the paper tube on the table, thought for a while, then took out the bracelet he bought during the day, and put it together with the paper tube.

Only then did he realize that the phone was dead.

After charging the phone and taking a hot bath, Chen Zhihe felt sleepy and fell asleep directly on the bed.

When he woke up the next day and checked his phone, he realized that both Lin Qingxuan and Tang Wan had sent him messages last night.

Lin Qingxuan asked him what he was doing at night, while Tang Wan thanked him for the gift.

After answering the news one by one, Chen Zhihe got up and took a brief wash.

Looking through the refrigerator, I found that there was not much food left, only a few eggs and half a carton of milk.

After making do with breakfast, Chen Zhihe suddenly wanted to go home.
