Chapter 12 The Refined Egoist

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment before she realized what the guard was saying.She was so busy these two days that she forgot about it. Maybe the other party was also too busy with work and forgot about it?

She made a quick decision: "Let it go for now."

The owner of the key is not in a hurry, so why should she be in a hurry?

In the evening, Song Shiwei and Yao Jiajia made an appointment to meet at a food stall outside the community.

The other party had just come back from the law firm. She was still wearing a formal suit. She stepped boldly on the stool next to her with one leg and vividly told her recent adventures: "You know, right? There has been a big overhaul in nightclubs these days. We were singing with clients last night. , three policemen knocked on the door and came in. After showing their IDs, they started ransacking the house. They took all the jelly and chewing gum from my bag and took them away, which made me very nervous."

Song Shiwei held the chopsticks for a moment, lowered her eyes and thought to herself, is Ji Yanchen's mission not over yet?

She was silent for a few seconds, and replied calmly: "You didn't do anything wrong, and you are still afraid of being searched?"

"They are so timid." Yao Jiajia said delicately, "We usually just talk, how can we compare with them using guns."

Song Shiwei was distracted and cursed, your lawyers' mouths are sometimes no less powerful than bullets.

"It's just a blessing in disguise." The person in front of me took out a pink vanity mirror, held it, took a look, and sighed pretentiously, "Because we can't receive customers, the boss gave us a holiday. Otherwise, I can Come back so early."

Moreover, the lawyer is also extremely sharp in observing words and expressions. "Why are you so absent-minded today? What are you thinking about?"

Song Shiwei raised her face and said calmly: "The items searched this time are newly discovered drugs in Chengdu. Based on the current situation, I am wondering whether there will be any follow-up work involving our department."

Yao Jiajia laughed and accepted the statement: "Okay."

She put down the mirror and asked casually: "Where's Ming Xu? It seems like I haven't seen him for a long time. Didn't you make up after the last fight?"

"No." Song Shiwei's eyes dimmed, and the expression on her cold face was unclear.

Yao Jiajia glanced at her and suggested: "We have a new returnee from overseas in our law firm. He is good-looking, elite-looking, and a top student. Can I introduce you to him some other time?"

Song Shiwei lowered his eyes and picked out the ginger slices from the fried noodles and neatly stacked them on the napkin without making a sound.

She knew that Yao Jiajia had never gotten along with Ming Xu.

The other party didn't do anything to provoke her, but Yao Jiajia's character was like this, she only looked at her at first sight.Ming Xu felt baffled by her targeting her, and Song Shiwei herself didn't fully understand.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. The person in front of me urged her again, as if she was afraid that she would regret it: "If you don't say anything, I will treat it as your consent."

Song Shiwei raised his eyes, looked at her for a while, and suddenly asked: "What don't you like about Ming Xu?"

Yao Jiajia paused while peeling the crayfish. This was the first time the two of them discussed this topic openly.

Her relationship with Song Shiwei was different from her relationship with other friends. She always felt that there was an invisible and inexplicable barrier between Song Shiwei. Even with her personality, she couldn't be careless in front of her.

It can even be said that although the two have known each other for so many years, she still dare not say that she fully understands Song Shiwei, and she is not sure where the other party's bottom line is.

Therefore, she has never slandered Ming Xu behind his back, nor has she tried to persuade them to break up when they were quarreling.

But since she took the initiative to ask today, Yao Jiajia thought for a moment and answered concisely: "Exquisite egoist."

Song Shiwei chuckled softly when she heard the words, and asked half-jokingly: "Aren't you the same?"

Yao Jiajia observed her reaction and gradually opened up: "Yes, I am just like him, so I chose to be a lawyer. Being selfish is not inconsistent with my professional ethics. But he is different, he is a doctor. .”

“Isn’t it terrible that his career matches his values?”

Song Shiwei raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. She had to admit that although her words were unreasonable, they seemed to make sense.

"Besides, what's the point of you two being separated and reunited for so many years?"

Yao Jiajia seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wrote like crazy, "Reading a book two or three times may give you different insights, but it won't have a different ending."

The other party's dark eyes were blurred by the night: "But I feel recently that I may not understand this book."

Yao Jiajia didn't think it was strange: "Maybe he hasn't understood you either. Although you two have been together for a long time, how can you describe the atmosphere when you get along?" She tilted her head and thought for a while, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water."

Song Shiwei pulled her lips and looked away, looking slightly absent-mindedly at the green belt in the distance: "It's a problem with my personality."

Looking back, the several relationships she had had over the years were almost always in such a lukewarm state.

"NoNo, beauties can consume others when they fall in love. Don't consume yourself internally." Yao Jiajia stretched out a finger, shook it seriously, and imparted her fallacies seriously, "Even if you are a piece of ice, he can't ignite you. It’s also because he doesn’t have enough firepower. Remember, it’s not your problem, it’s all the other party’s problem.”

Song Shiwei chuckled and did not comment.

The person in front of him picked up the bottle and opened the soda, and then raised his voice and said: "Besides, even if you are a dull, cold and introverted person, when you really like someone, your state is completely different from usual. If you don't feel this way, it means you are still I don’t like him that much, he’s not the right match for you.”

Right?

Song Shiwei was in a trance for a moment, remembering the moist fragrance of roses in the yard that day. After a while, she laughed at herself and curled her lower lip, and said nonchalantly: "A master said that my right match does not appear until I am 25 years old."

"Hey, you've already calculated your fate. It seems like you've really made up your mind this time."

Yao Jiajia pursed her lips and smiled, raising her orange juice to clink glasses with her, "Cheers to my sister's upcoming marriage. If you are right, remember to push the master to me, and I will do the math too!"

****
Leaving the food stall, the two walked slowly back to the community.

When entering, the security guard greeted Song Shiwei enthusiastically: "Madam! Your friend just came over!"

She paused and responded: "Oh, okay."

Yao Jiajia lowered her voice and asked, "Who is it? Who else knows you live here?"

Song Shiwei lowered her head and took out the door card, not wanting to say more: "We are the same."

The security guard then added enthusiastically: "He hasn't gone far, you can wait for him here for a while!"

Song Shiwei was stunned and raised her head: "What?"

The other party explained: "I just told him that you were out, and he went over there."

He stopped suddenly, glanced at the two people in front of him, and raised his hand to signal not far away, "Your friend is back, madam!"

The two of them turned around at the same time, one curious, the other confused, and then their expressions changed at the same time after seeing the person clearly.

Yao Jiajia curled her lips and muttered something secretly.

Song Shiwei's eyes were silent and her expression was calm and dignified.

Ming Xu stood still in front of the two of them, looking around and finally settling on Song Shiwei's face.

His face was very pale, and he used question words, but his tone was affirmative: "It seemed like I was surprised to see it."

Song Shiwei didn't answer.

Yao Jiajia observed words and expressions and keenly realized that the friend she expected was not the person in front of her.

Things suddenly became interesting. She didn't mind the excitement and joked: "You can't help but talk about it, great doctor."

Mingxu looked at her and smiled: "Is that so? I asked you why your ears suddenly felt hot just now."

Yao Jiajia glanced at the roses he had just bought with a half-smile, and asked knowingly: "Why are you here? You don't have to be on duty today?"

"Yes." He asked warmly, "Have you had dinner?"

Yao Jiajia tilted her head and raised her lips: "What time is it? It would be insincere to talk about dinner now." The man was not annoyed by the ridicule, and replied with a good temper: "I just got off work, I'm sorry."

She smiled and insinuated: "It's because our capitalists get off work too early, so I should be embarrassed."

The two of them said nothing to each other. Song Shiwei stood aside with her arms folded as if it was nothing to do, and never said a word.

Ming Xu politely resisted Yao Jiajia, while looking at Song Shiwei's face from time to time. Seeing that she had no intention of letting him go upstairs, he took a step back and asked, "Would you like to take a walk nearby?"

Song Shiwei was silent for a moment, then turned to Yao Jiajia and whispered, "You go up first."

Yao Jiajia nodded and glanced meaningfully at the man in front of her: "Okay."

They were the only two people left under the streetlight.
