Lawyer Zhou, are you in love?

Chapter 4
The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I use them to find the light!

- Gu Cheng

[1]
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining and everything was recovering. Just as most people were rushing to work, Zhou Jinchen, who didn’t have to appear in court in the morning, just woke up in his own bed. Layers of curtains covered the bedroom airtightly. Don't miss such a beautiful and dry morning.

In the next second, the curtains slowly slid open with the remote control, and the vigorous mint grass on the balcony gave off a cool aroma.Zhou Jinchen dressed neatly and opened the door panel, and saw the post-it note on the door.

He took it off and read the content in less than ten seconds.

"Good morning, I made breakfast on the dining table, you can warm it up after you wake up."

A flattering expression was drawn behind the text, and Zhou Jinchen read it expressionlessly while holding the fluffy paper, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it directly into the trash can, and went straight to the dining table to enjoy a sumptuous flattering breakfast.

Lu Zhichun went out at six o'clock in the cold weather, and rode an electric bike across half of the urban area before finding the address written on the competition notice. She finally took a breather, slowed down and looked for a place where the electric bike could be parked. She didn't pay attention to the movement around her. Suddenly, a supercar rumbled past her. Lu Zhichun was so frightened that the car wobbled unsteadily. Fortunately, one leg supported the ground so that she wouldn't fall...

The supercar slowed down, and Lu Zhichun got out of the car, waiting for the owner to apologize to her.

Who would have thought that the driver would see that she was fine through the rearview mirror, and would make a beautiful tail flick, and the car would drive directly into the underground parking lot.

Lu Zhichun frowned, and pointed in the direction where the car disappeared: "666, I remember your father."

In the parking lot, Jian Fan, the car owner whom Lu Zhichun called his son, took off his sunglasses casually, his slender peach blossom eyes gleamed unruly. Walk lightly into the elevator.

When the elevator reached the first floor, a group of people squeezed into it. Jian Fan frowned in disgust, but a head that only reached his chest kept rubbing against his chest. He avoided it calmly. Still have to squeeze an inch to his side.

In fact, it’s not really Lu Zhichun’s fault. There are too many people, and most of them are taller than her. If she gets squeezed like that, she will inevitably squeeze into the people behind her, and her pigtails will be crooked. Especially when the people diagonally behind her pushed her head in disgust.

Lu Zhichun turned his head and smiled at the other party apologetically, and saw the exquisite obsidian earrings on Jian Fan's earlobe at a glance, which looked very beautiful under the incandescent light.

At this time, if she knew that the owner of the earrings was the arrogant car owner, Lu Zhichun would never show any kindness to him.It's a pity that the owner of the car with the tail number 666 was wearing black super glasses at the time, and she couldn't see who the other party was through the black window at all.

Finally, the elevator stopped on the competition floor and escaped from the suffocating sealed space. Lu Zhichun saw that there was still time, so he ran to the bathroom to finish his hair before going to the competition site.

The teacher of the organizing committee first held a meeting for all the participants, explained the rules of the competition, and then announced the theme of the first competition: popular.

After everyone draws lots, two people form a group, and the designers design four sets of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter according to the fashion trends they think.This kind of open-ended proposition seems to have a lot of room for development, and it can also show a designer's skills and market acumen, but it does not have an advantage for a fresh graduate like Lu Zhichun, as far as she knows The current trend still stays in the assessment made by those big brand designers based on the popularity of the previous season.

So this seemingly unrequired theme really made everyone's nerves very tense. First, the competition was cruel, and second, they didn't understand the strength of their partners. If they didn't get along well, they would be eliminated.

Lu Zhichun's partner is Amy, a high-achieving student from Tsinghua University. The two are about the same age. Although they get along well, they are both graduates this year and cannot grasp fashion trends well.

After working without a clue for the whole morning, everyone went downstairs to eat at noon, Lu Zhichun and Amy walked last.

Seeing that others have been busy all morning and produced some results, Lu Zhichun became very anxious.

On the other hand, Amy is very open-minded, and she is still in the mood to gossip about handsome guys: "Did you notice that there are two handsome guys in our contestants, and I saw a handsome guy in the morning, getting off a Porsche 911 , there is a woman in a red dress in the car, she is his girlfriend at first glance, this life is really 'full'."

When Lu Zhichun heard the Porsche 911, he pretended to be deaf and dumb with a sullen face.Amy thought she was jealous of his good life, and pouted to comfort her. Suddenly, she grabbed Lu Zhichun as if she had discovered a new world: "Look, Xiaochun, the one wearing the dark blue shirt over there is the one driving the Porsche." male……"

Lu Zhichun took a closer look, the person who was dressed like a dog and was walking towards this side, who was it not Jiang Zhou?
Jiang Zhou obviously saw her too, frowned slightly, and finally the two of them passed by like strangers.

"Xiao Chun, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"

"I saw the handsome guy couldn't eat, so I had to hide."

A sentence originally aimed at Jiang Zhou, but it elicited disdainful laughter from the next table.

Lu Zhichun followed the laughter and found that it was the person who pushed her head in the elevator in the morning.What is he upset about?Is her sentence wrong?
Before she had time to say anything, Amy greeted the other party enthusiastically one step ahead of her: "Hi, I am also a contestant in this competition. My name is Amy. What's your name?"

Jian Fan glanced at her, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and left.

Amy looked back at Lu Zhichun: "He ignored me?"

Lu Zhichun curled his lips: "It's rare for such an impolite person. He looks like a narcissist at first glance. Did I say he's handsome? He's pretty good-looking."

"I don't care, big sister, such a man is not handsome, so what kind of man is handsome in your eyes?"

Next, Amy wentssip with her again: "Let me tell you, the most experienced contestant in our class is a man named Jian Fan. He not only graduated from Marangoni, but also worked for two years in the famous fashion company D&G." Years, among other things, just these two items on the resume can beat the two of us by eight blocks, are you convinced?"

Lu Zhichun thought to herself, if she wants to have that capital, she has to walk with wind.

But she didn't have that capital, coupled with a bad mood, she spent the whole day nervous and clueless, and only came out of the studio at night.In just half a day, Lu Zhichun was so anxious that his mouth ulcers developed, especially when he saw Jiang Zhou's new girlfriend downstairs to pick him up, his heart felt unbalanced.

The lofty ambitions that once vowed to be compared with others, and the grand dreams of being a great designer, were all overwhelmed by cruel facts.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing that most designers own private cars and only a dozen or so choose to travel by bus and bicycle is enough for her to recognize the reality.

But Lu Zhichun didn't want to admit defeat, she wasn't smart enough, she wasn't good enough, and she didn't have parents to fight for, so let her be a stupid bird and fly to the head office first.

Therefore, Lu Zhichun and Amy found a KFC nearby, and after dinner, they began to discuss a series of issues such as the style, fabric and color matching of the design drawing.

After the two reached an agreement on these issues, they would divide the work and do their own work. After the plan and renderings were finalized, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and it was impossible for them to go home and rest. I squinted for a few hours, anyway, it was time to go back to the design room at eight o'clock.

After several days of continuous rotation with such a high load, Lu Zhichun couldn't hold it anymore on the fifth day.She was very tired when working during the day, and felt dizzy after standing for a long time. She really couldn't continue, so after the day's work was over, she went directly back to Zhou Jinchen's place.

If he doesn't see anyone again, Zhou Jinchen will almost think that this person has absconded in fear of crime.

In fact, when returning to Zhou Jinchen's place, Lu Zhichun only cared about saying hello to him, and locked himself in the guest room.Until midnight, Lu Zhichun felt dizzy and dizzy. He shook his head vigorously, but felt something blocked his nostrils. He blew his nose vigorously, but wiped blood with his hand.

Lu Zhichun covered his nose and ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and splashed water on his forehead, but the bleeding stopped, but his eyes were dark...

The moment before she lost consciousness, she was still thinking that she couldn't just fall down like this, and that she couldn't give up all her previous efforts.

But God didn't seem to hear her prayer.

Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Zhou Jinchen looked at the sleeping man with blood stains on his cuffs and chest. His pale face had two dark circles under his eyes. He was not as lively as before.

He couldn't help thinking, how important is this competition to her, that he would tire himself out to the hospital?
Perhaps it is easy to let people think wildly at night, inexplicably, a strange male voice with a pleading voice rushed into the ear——

"I can buy out your design rights, as long as the price you offer is not too excessive, I can accept it..."

In the safe passage of the bar that night, the person who quarreled with her should be her ex-boyfriend. Seeing her such a violent reaction, she probably discovered it after being cheated by her boyfriend, right?
Why did that man break up with her, because he fell in love with Bai Fumei?Or seeing her being besieged by Mr. Ji's people, afraid of being implicated?
For her, besides her boyfriend, who else can she treat with all her heart and soul?

What is the relationship between the perpetrator and her, so that she would rather put herself in danger than betray the other party?

What kind of emotion is this, friendship, family or love?
Could it be that the person who hit and ran was——

Jiang Zhou?

A bold and groundless idea popped into his mind, and Zhou Jinchen was also frightened by his irrationality.

After all, Mr. Ji put too much pressure on him. Lu Zhichun is now living a stable life because he promised his agent that he will cooperate with the police to find clues to the perpetrator within three months. If three months pass, he will not Fulfilling President Ji's promise will not only put Lu Zhichun in danger, but his reputation in the industry will also plummet.

He believed that it was nothing to overwhelm their firm with Mr. Ji's ability.

Rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, Zhou Jinchen stared at the patient on the hospital bed with a heavy heart, and took a deep breath, trying to drive away the anxiety brought about by work recently, but unexpectedly she opened her eyes suddenly.

Lu Zhichun opened his eyes and blinked, and saw someone above his head staring at him.

She was haired all over from his stare, her eyelashes trembled a few times and then she closed her eyes.

Zhou Jinchen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you awake?"

She opened her eyes slowly, looked at her left hand which was receiving a drip and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Jinchen deliberately looked at her with a straight face.

Her situation is really complicated, overworked, depressed, malnourished, plus a cold and fever leading to nosebleeds.

Unexpectedly, this woman is not very old, and she is quite worried.

Looking at Zhou Jinchen's gloomy and serious eyes, Lu Zhichun felt a bad feeling in his heart. She had so much nosebleed just now, and she was dizzy and weak...

You won't have some terminal illness, will you?

Isn’t it always like this on TV? The heroine first had a nosebleed, then passed out, and finally went to the hospital for leukemia.

Lu Zhichun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was quite seated at the counter.

"I... Am I suffering from some bad disease?"

Zhou Jinchen raised her appetite to the top, and when she was so scared that she almost wrote her last words, she finally said with a smile: "Physical exhaustion plus malnutrition and a bad cold, if you think it's a serious illness, then it is. "

Lu Zhichun: "..."

Coming out of the hospital, Lu Zhichun didn't have time to go home and change clothes, but he couldn't wear this pajamas to the studio either.So, she asked Zhou Jinchen to drive her to a 24-hour supermarket first, and spent more than 100 yuan to buy a suit of fancy trousers and gowns worn by aunts, and then asked him to drive her to the studio.

Amy was terrified to see her come to the studio in this outfit.

Not to mention her, even Zhou Jinchen, who is so strict, was amused when he saw her outfit. On the way to the design room, there were people taking pictures of her, but Lu Zhichun turned a blind eye to it, that's called unrestrained.

It became a walking living advertisement.

Of course, it is not known whether this advertisement caused the fire of the clothes or was rejected.

Amy put down the scissors, leaned close to her, looked her up and down, and shook her head: "Honey, I never thought you'd be so... tasteful, I'll take care of the rest of the autumn and winter clothes."

Lu Zhichun took a bite of the Roujiamo that Amy bought for her, and explained inarticulately: "If I didn't go to the hospital at night and didn't have time to change clothes, so I bought this set temporarily, do you think I would like to wear this quilt? ?”

Amy stopped attacking her aesthetics, and said sternly, "What's going on?"

"Malnutrition plus physical exhaustion."

"Let me tell you that the 15 yuan set meal you eat every day is not nutritious, so make up for it, and don't affect our progress because of your illness..."

Lu Zhichun didn't like to listen to it anymore. After eating breakfast in two or three bites, he began to measure and cut.Amy was a little worried that she would make mistakes when she was sick. Every time Lu Zhichun finished a procedure, she checked it behind. After two rounds of follow-up, she found that Lu Zhichun had handled it to the point of excellence, whether it was the measurement of size or the cutting process.

This is not like a sick person.

At the end of the day, Lu Zhichun did more work than her. Because their group worked the hardest in private, today they surpassed the progress of the other contestants and completed three sets of ready-made garments ahead of schedule, which finally made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Combining the fashion trends of the two seasons and the popular styles of the season, they plan to integrate some abstract elements such as interstellar space and fantasy comics into the winter clothes, and make a windbreaker by splicing. At first, Lu Zhichun proposed this idea. Amy is not very old. I agree, but after reading the renderings, I can't help admiring her unique vision.

On this day, after finalizing the renderings of the last set of winter clothes, it was time for the LA fashion show. Lu Zhichun could finally attend tonight's fashion show with ease.

After work, while waiting for Amy to go to the bathroom, Lu Zhichun took this time to touch up her makeup in the mirror.

Just as she was trying on three lipsticks of different colors, a disdainful voice came from behind: "Really earth..."

Lu Zhichun looked up and saw a flat face through the mirror.

"I want you to manage."

She was greeted with a sneer, and then the man walked away leisurely with his trouser pockets in his pocket...

The relationship between her and Jian Fan goes back to the moment when Amy told her that the owner of the car with the tail number 666 was Jian Fan, and occasionally they would exchange words when they met.

It's like two days ago when she came to the design room wearing a flowered quilt, he laughed at her taste like a vegetable seller, and today he laughed at her...

When they went downstairs, Lu Zhichun was still complaining to Amy: "Just now the neighbor next door hated me again."

"Then love and kill each other, who is afraid of whom?"

"Bah, bah, bah, who is in love with him, I will kill him to the end from now on..."

Lu Zhichun was still expressing his pride and ambition on the main road one second, and was sprayed with exhaust gas the next second.

Lu Zhichun and Amy covered their noses, looked up and saw Jian Fan's car speeding past.

The driver whizzing by only glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye, and the smug smile on the corner of his mouth slowly retracted——

That short winter melon pointed at his car, what was he scolding him for?
Jian Fan was ruthless in his heart: Wait for me.

After separating from Amy, Lu Zhichun turned on his mobile phone navigation and found the LA fashion show. Seven shows will be held tonight. The upstairs is the main venue, and the downstairs will hold several shows of different styles in two time periods.

When Lu Zhichun walked into the venue, she was shocked by the lineup inside. This was the most luxurious fashion show she had ever participated in in her life. Upstairs were gathered the big names in the fashion, business and art circles that she had only seen on the covers of magazines and on TV. Dude, it's so lively.

Tonight's fashion show inspired a lot of inspiration. Lu Zhichun watched it with gusto, and took pictures with her mobile phone to record. After one show was over, she was planning to watch another show, but she stopped before walking a few steps.

From a distance, the gorgeously dressed men and women really matched each other. Even though Lu Zhichun was dissatisfied, he had to admit that the woman walking beside Jiang Zhou had a much better temperament than her.

The two who were bowing their heads and whispering walked slowly towards her. Lu Zhichun straightened his back and strode boldly...

Suddenly, she turned around and missed them perfectly.

After walking up a few steps, Lu Zhichun was still scolding himself, why are you so so, your ex-boyfriend is not afraid of cheating, why are you so guilty.

Lu Zhichun scolded himself, and went upstairs to the main exhibition area.

However, the moment she pushed open the glass door, she was stopped by the staff.They asked her to show her VIP ticket - her normal ticket wouldn't let her in.

Then she stays outside the door and leans on the glass window to watch, they can't care about it, right?

Lu Zhichun leaned on the glass window and looked inside eagerly, thinking that even if he couldn't watch the show, it would be a good thing to see these live-action bosses.

She glanced from left to right one by one. Apart from some bald old men, the people standing outside were middle-aged uncles with beards. It was not interesting to look around, and they were not seductive at all.

and many more……

Just as she was mocking that there was no handsome guy in it, she saw a familiar figure.

Before Lu Zhichun had time to study it carefully, the man suddenly turned his head.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly hid behind the potted plant.

After waiting for five or six minutes, after confirming that Jian Fan hadn't noticed her, she lay down on the outside of the glass window and looked in again.

Unexpectedly, a person suddenly walked out from behind the curtain, and the two of them looked at each other through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lu Zhichun's eyes widened, and Jian Fan's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he closed the curtains in front of her.

This unkind person really has no sympathy at all.While thinking about it, Lu Zhichun walked along the corridor without looking where it led.

Suddenly, Lu Zhichun was dragged into the smoking room with his mouth covered.

Before Lu Zhichun could scream, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"it's me."

Lu Zhichun signaled him to let go, and asked in a cold voice: "Mr. Jiang, what can I do for you? Do you know that it's disrespectful to do so..."

"I'm sorry." Jiang Zhou interrupted her suddenly.

As if the words that had been held in his heart these days were finally spoken, his originally tense expression slowly relaxed, and he looked at her sincerely.

Lu Zhichun didn't understand why he was apologizing now.

He changed too quickly, forgive her for being unable to keep up with his jumping thoughts for a while.

A casual sentence came out of his mouth: "And then?"

"Xiaochun, let's reconcile, I don't want to go on like this with you anymore."

What do you mean?
Are you planning to dump your current girlfriend and reconcile with her?Or was he afraid that she would tell the story of him running away, coaxing her not to report it?
Why?Why did he want to get rid of her and throw her away like a burden, why did he agree to reconcile her?

Who do you think Lu Zhichun is?
Jiang Zhou's eyes were full of hope, as if he was waiting for her verdict. If the negotiation was successful, he would be able to sit back and relax in the future, but if the negotiation was not good, he would be in endless nights...in fear and restlessness.

Maybe it was because she had stayed with Zhou Jinchen for a long time, and she also learned his unfathomable ways. First, she raised the other party's appetite to the top, and then frowned: "I don't want to reconcile, I think this is very good."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhichun opened the door to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Zhou: "Xiaochun, we can still discuss it."

Seeing Lu Zhichun's refusal to communicate, Jiang Zhou said angrily: "Don't pretend to be noble, okay, you also got a lawyer before we broke up, how can you be more noble than me? "

"You fart. You have a problem with your own character, don't think of others so dirty, okay, he and I are just friends..."

At this point, no amount of explanations would seem powerless. The two of them spoke more and more fiercely, and at some point they even started to move their hands.

Jiang Zhou may still be thinking about the old love, seeing that the back of Lu Zhichun's head was about to touch the ground, he hurriedly put his hand on it, but Lu Zhichun didn't care about it, he took the opportunity to counterattack and succeeded, riding on him and attacking him in the face, but was caught by Jiang Zhou with both hands. Hold her wrist so she can't move...

Just as the two were fighting in full swing, the door of the smoking room was suddenly pushed open, and Jian Fan saw the bumpkin riding on the man's waist at a glance.

At this time, Lu Zhichun's hair was disheveled, his hands were controlled by someone, and his shoes were thrown around in a mess. He was lifting one leg and kicking Jiang Zhou's chin with his foot. Jian Fan dared not look directly at such a hot-eyed posture.

Okay, this country bumpkin knows quite a few poses.

It's just that the swearing in the mouth doesn't look like flirting.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on at the moment. What a smart person Jian Fan is, he deliberately closed the door with force to remind the two people who were fighting in full swing.

Hearing the loud closing sound, the two instinctively separated, and both looked towards the door.

Then I saw Jian Fan looking at Lu Zhichun playfully, as if she was the mistress who hooked up with someone else's boyfriend to have an affair here.

She does not bear such charges.

Lu Zhichun quickly withdrew his feet.

When the two quickly got up from the ground, their expressions were not much better.

Jian Fan leisurely put a cigarette into his mouth and signaled them: "Go ahead and pretend that I don't exist."

[2]
But he was leaning against the corner, obviously to watch the live broadcast, so how could he continue this fight.

After Jiang Zhou left, Lu Zhichun explained: "Don't get me wrong, he and I are not in the relationship you think."

"I know, mistress also has dignity."

"I'm not a junior."

"Oh, then if you want to counterattack and become the empress of the Zhenggong Palace, it may be a bit difficult."

I can't explain it now.

Lu Zhichun was so angry that he took a deep breath, adjusted his skirt and prepared to leave.

"Hey, I helped you just now and didn't even say thank you?" Jian Fan finally put away his foolish look and said seriously.

"I thank you."

Jian Fan was amused by her gnashing of teeth, and then remembered what she scolded him in the afternoon.

Just let her go, there is no such cheap thing, right?
A few steps forward, Jian Fan successfully blocked her in the corner, clamped her hands and pressed against the wall.

Lu Zhichun was hit so hard by someone, his back hurt so much, he stared at his gradually approaching her, his eyebrows became clearer and clearer, he struggled to free the hand that was pinned to the top of his head, his eyes widened and he thought—— Didn't want to "wall-dong" her.

This is not okay, she wants to defend herself.

She quickly raised her leg and kicked at his calf, missed with one move, and kicked directly at his crotch with the other.

Jian Fan seemed to be guarding against her move. While dodging her attack easily, he raised his foot and kicked her legs forward skillfully. Lu Zhichun's body couldn't help sliding down, and his hands were still controlled by him on the wall, straightening The waist and the whole body form a 45-degree angle with the ground.

He bullied people with such a tricky posture, Lu Zhichun couldn't accept it, and screamed in fright.

"Ah, ah, I'm going to fall. I thank you, what else do you want?"

Seeing her subdued, Jian Fan kindly put out an arm to support her waist, and asked threateningly: "Be careful, why are you scolding me this afternoon?"

"What... what?"

Jian Fan let go of the arm supporting her waist and deliberately kicked her feet.

"I said, I said... I scolded you in the afternoon, and I will kill you to the end from now on..."

"anything else?"

"..."

"Ok?"

"Curse you driving off the wheel, going to the Northeast to escape the cold, and being blown into a flu by Lay's potato chips."

"good very good."

Jian Fan's face turned green with anger after hearing this, and the hand around her waist was so loose that Lu Zhichun's feet slipped, and he was about to cry.In desperation, she yelled outside: "Help, someone forced—"

She had a loud voice, Jian Fan didn't have time to cover her mouth when she heard the door of the smoking room being pushed open.Immediately, Lu Zhichun felt a steady force in his waist lift her up, and after holding her steady, someone savagely grabbed Jian Fan's arm and stretched it forward.

In the blink of an eye, Jian Fan was pushed against the wall.

"Using a man's advantage to bully a girl is nothing. If you have the ability to compete with a man."

A familiar cold voice rang in his ears, Lu Zhichun raised his head eagerly, and looked at Zhou Jinchen who seemed to have fallen from the sky.His face was slightly gloomy, and his majestic appearance was quite a man.

The supporter was here, she said aggrievedly: "Achen, he bullied me."

Suddenly being pressed against the wall, Jian Fan quit of course, he moved his wrist and wanted to launch a beautiful counterattack, but the opponent was too strong, he could only turn his head with difficulty...

But who cares about him, Zhou Jinchen directly asked Lu Zhichun: "Do you need the police to solve it?"

Jian Fan thought to himself that this time the game was too big. If he got into the game because of sexual harassment, how could he raise his head and be a man, and the game would be affected, so he tried to explain to Zhou Jinchen——

"Hey, hey, there was a misunderstanding. I was just kidding with her. We are friends. If you don't believe me, ask Lu Zhichun."

"Who is your friend? I still don't recognize it."

"Hey, we are contestants in the same competition area, right? You can't take a joke like that?"

Lu Zhichun rubbed his slightly painful lower back, looked at him, and said to Zhou Jinchen, "Let him go, he hasn't bullied me much."

Lu Zhichun walked two steps behind Zhou Jinchen, feeling that he couldn't just leave like this, and had to give Jian Fan a blow, so he turned back.

She folded her arms and swaggered in front of Jian Fan: "I told you that my friend is a very powerful lawyer. This time, I will not argue with you. Next time, I will sue you for sexual harassment."

Jian Fan rubbed his twisted wrist. Hearing this, he looked in Zhou Jinchen's direction with disdain: "Lawyer? What's wrong with the lawyer? If you want to file a lawsuit, our family has a team of lawyers to accompany you."

Such an arrogant tone.

Zhou Jinchen raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

He didn't speak, but walked steadily, walking towards him step by step, forcing Jian Fan to take two steps back.

Zhou Jinchen pushed him back to the corner, and stuffed a business card into his pocket: "From now on, please stay away from her, and next time, you don't need to hire your lawyer team, I will personally teach them how to do it in the industry." ability."

Lu Zhichun frantically followed Zhou Jinchen out of the smoking room, and lost the mood to watch the show because of the farce of the night.The two walked a certain distance, and Zhou Jinchen reminded her in a deep voice: "Stay away from those rich second generations in the future, and don't try to be brave in front of them. You will be the one who suffers in the end."

Lu Zhichun only dared to secretly look at Zhou Jinchen, and seeing that he was not angry, he dared to ask, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Jinchen loosened his tie a little, with an expression of exhaustion.

"Business entertainment, clients are invited to participate." He looked at his watch and asked her, "I'll be leaving in a while, do you want to come together?"

He was obviously going back to one place, yet he still asked such unfamiliar questions.

"I am with you."

Two people with different thoughts went downstairs without a word. They thought that the bad night was over, but in a blink of an eye, they saw someone they didn't want to see again.

The soft female voice came clearly.

"Why is your classmate so rude? He dared to make trouble when he was drunk. Look at what he did with your arm? What's his name? I'll ask the security to drive him away."

"It's okay, it's just a scratch, and she didn't mean it."

Lu Zhichun was stunned. When did she become a drunk person? It was obviously Jiang Zhou who was at fault first, but why did he become a victim instead?

The conversation between Jiang Zhou and He Yun was not only heard clearly by Lu Zhichun, but also by Zhou Jinchen.He turned his head slightly, and sure enough, he saw that Lu Zhichun's face was not very good, so he asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhou Jinchen's voice successfully attracted the attention of the other two.

He Yun spotted them first and said in surprise: "Lawyer Zhou, what a coincidence, you are here too." Then she introduced to Jiang Zhou, "This is our company's legal consultant, lawyer Zhou Jinchen, lawyer Zhou, this is my lawyer. Boyfriend Jiang Zhou."

"Hello, Lawyer Zhou, nice to meet you." Jiang Zhou held out his hand.

"Hello." Zhou Jinchen stared at Jiang Zhou's outstretched right hand, and shook him politely.

The two men let go after exchanging greetings. Zhou Jinchen glanced at his side unintentionally. One deliberately pretended not to know each other, and the other deliberately lowered his sense of presence, but his eyes were obviously competing in secret. He interrupted their contest: "Jiang Mister and Xiaochun also know each other?"

Lu Zhichun snapped back to his senses, seeing the light in Zhou Jinchen's eyes...

Looking at someone again, he didn't seem to be familiar with her at all. Lu Zhichun gritted his teeth and wanted to say that he didn't know him, but a voice spoke before her.

"We're just classmates, we don't know each other very well."

Lu Zhichun also nodded quickly: "We are not familiar with each other."

Little did they know that the appearance of the two of them trying to hide their secrets was even more suspicious.On the way back, Lu Zhichun couldn't stand being stared at by Zhou Jinchen's inscrutable gaze, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked, "What are you looking at, is there something dirty on my face?"

Unexpectedly, he asked directly: "Why did you break up?"

"what?"

Zhou Jinchen said it more clearly: "Ex-boyfriend, Jiang Zhou?"

"What else could be the reason? He met Bai Fumei, and he dumped me in order to save 20 years of fighting." She laughed so heartlessly that Zhou Jinchen almost believed it.

If it weren't for her guilty conscience that she wanted to hide, if it wasn't for the black mole on Jiang Zhou's right heart, he wouldn't have discovered how capable this woman is in telling lies with her eyes open.

Of course, this little clue alone can't charge Jiang Zhou with a hit-and-run charge, but after locking the target, he at least has a direction to look for clues.

After a bad day, the next day was still sunny.When Lu Zhichun came back last night, she forgot to charge the electric car, so she could only ride a shared bicycle to the studio.

But at this time, Jian Fan, who was stuck on the main road, was not in such a beautiful mood.

There was a car accident ahead, and he was stuck here for almost half an hour. If the traffic police couldn't help him, he would definitely be late.

Open the hood to let the air in. The sapphire blue Lamborghini sits in such an eye-catching little fresh meat, which immediately becomes a beautiful scenery on the road and relieves the irritability of traffic jams for beauties.

Jian Fan was not in the mood to care about this, leaned back on the chair and threw a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, watching the cars passing by on the bicycle lane, feeling extremely irritable.

He turned his head to look at the bicycle passing by for a while, thought of something, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Zhichun's number.

After parking the car in the parking lot of the nearby supermarket, he stood by the side of the road and waited. Sure enough, within 10 minutes, Lu Zhichun came over on his bike, but when he saw that she was riding a small yellow car, Jian Fan was completely shocked. Stupid.

"Why didn't you ride an electric bike today?" Originally, he wanted to take her car to the design studio.

"The electric car is out of battery, why are you calling me?" After she finished speaking, she also glanced at the main road that was blocked and paralyzed.

"Forget it, let's go."

"You called me early in the morning just to care about what bike I was riding?"

Knowing why, right?

"It's fine, I have to go. By the way, it's [-] o'clock in half an hour. Don't be late. If you are late, you will be disqualified." If it wasn't for the last rising tone that gave away Lu Zhichun's pride, I really thought she was caring about Jian Fan.

This woman's face was as sloppy as possible, Jian Fan gritted his teeth and glared at the person who was about to get on the car and walked away, grabbed her backpack and dragged her down.

Lu Zhichun looked at him with a smile: Please, please...

Jian Fan spat in his heart, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "How do you use this car?"

Soften up so soon?
It's a pity that she still has a lot of lines that she doesn't use, and it's not fun at all.

Lu Zhichun glanced at his watch, there was still plenty of time, he thought about it carefully, and smiled sweetly at him: "Listen, sister."

Jian Fan's eyes widened, did he hear correctly?
Want him to call this yellow-haired girl sister?She is dreaming!
But it was only hardened for 1 minute, and Jian Fan had to bite the bullet again——

"sister."

"It's too perfunctory, I have to say 'sister, I was wrong'."

"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended your old man last night."

"louder please."

"Sister, I was wrong. Let's go."

Someone raised his chin arrogantly: "Come with me."

Jian Fan gritted his teeth silently.When he arrived at the bicycle storage place, the woman bossed him around: "Open this APP, just scan the code and you'll be able to use it."

"What APP?"

"Ofo's APP, or you can search for ofo's little yellow car on WeChat first." After thinking about it, he felt that this was too complicated, and Lu Zhichun said, "Forget it, this operation is too complicated, you have Alipay, just click to open the shared bicycle Easier."

Seeing Jian Fan being confused by her, Lu Zhichun taught him step by step, and couldn't help ridiculing while instructing: "You said that you are a talented student who graduated from Marangoni, but you don't know how to use a shared bicycle. If you say it, you will laugh at the Chinese people." Da Ya. Let’s hang out with my sister in the future, and my sister will teach you the new four great inventions of the Chinese.”

Jian Fan looks at her, if you give you three points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop, right?If he hadn't just returned to the country and was not familiar with the way of life in the country, why would he be so useless?

[3]
Stepping on the bicycle, Lu Zhichun came to his own battlefield, nimbly slipped through the gap between the electric tricycle and the bicycle like a slippery fish, crossed the road in the blink of an eye, and rode diagonally opposite Jian Fan.

Jian Fan chased after her, but his driving skills were not good. He was squeezed by other cars and had to stop. When he looked up again, the signal light had changed.A Chinese who has lived in Milan for nearly seven years, sighs that he has never encountered a lot of vehicles on the most common day in Beijing on the most crowded streets in foreign countries, not to mention that he usually travels by car——

Now riding a bicycle, only being bullied.

Especially when passing through an elementary school, it was also the peak time for parents to drop off their children. Private cars and children almost blocked the road to a standstill. Jian Fan almost questioned her whether she was leading the wrong way.

Suddenly, two children playing in front of the car ran past, and he turned the front of the car towards Lu Zhichun. Lu Zhichun just avoided the two children, and almost hit an electric tricycle. He couldn't protect himself. Turning a corner, the original plan to stand on one leg was shattered, and the person and the car fell to the side of the road.

Jian Fan hurriedly stopped the car and helped the person under the car, and then he heard Lu Zhichun complaining, "Are we two offending each other? I'm obviously helping you, why are you doing this to me?"

It is rare for a person who knows that he is wrong to have the same knowledge as her, so he asked patiently, "I'm sorry, did you get hurt anywhere?"

Lu Zhichun rubbed the worn-out trousers knee, and knew it was bleeding without looking at it, but he had no time to deal with the wound, so he could only bear the pain and said, "I can't care about this much, time is running out, let's go We're going to be late."

When Amy saw the two walking together shoulder to shoulder, she forgot to chew the buns in her mouth, opened her mouth wide and watched Jian Fan hand Lu Zhichun into her hands, and then walked out without saying a word.

"When did you two get along so well?" Amy asked Lu Zhichun after Jian Fan walked away.

The two of them are really not that good, but you can't tell others about the naive contest between the two of them last night and this morning. Let’s ride together.”

"Oh?" Amy was dubious, "What happened to your leg?"

Lu Zhichun crumpled up the tissue paper after treating the wound and threw it into the trash can, asking Amy to bring the scissors for her.While digging the hole in her jeans, she said, "I had a back when I went out in the morning, and I fell down."

After digging the jeans into ripped pants, she felt that they were not perfect, so she trimmed the frayed edges of the trousers into irregular shapes.

Jian Fan came in with the chafing medicine, and saw her trimming her trouser legs in front of the full-length mirror, frowning carefully, it really seemed like that.

He threw the medicine bag onto the design table, raised his eyebrows at her, and left without saying a word.Amy looked at her first, and then at the people who had gone away, her eyes widened.

However, the things that made her stunned were still to come.A few days later, the results of the first round came out. Lu Zhichun and Amy exchanged congratulatory looks when they saw that their group had advanced, and continued to look back.

No one expected that just in the first round, the competition would be so big that 40 people would be eliminated in one go. In the next second round, 20 people would be eliminated from the 14 people, and the last six would enter the finals, that is, Said that the former partner could not escape the fate of becoming an opponent in the end.

Seeing the eliminated contestants passing by, Lu Zhichun had mixed feelings in his heart. It would be a lie to say that he was not sad. After all, after getting along for so long, it is inevitable that he would be sad to part suddenly, but it is impossible to say sympathy, because the one who is eliminated now is not They are her.

All in all, the emotion is quite tangled.

On the other hand, Jian Fan's mood was much simpler than hers in the competition No.1. He didn't say those high-sounding words, but just watched those people leave.

Before the second round of the competition, the chairman of the organizing committee held a meeting for all their members. The meeting was nothing more than explaining the rules of the next competition.

Lu Zhichun didn't expect that the top three in the competition would have the right to choose teammates first, and the rest could choose to partner with their previous teammates, or split up and choose new teammates.

Amy whispered in her ear: "The two of us are at the bottom, and probably no one is willing to choose, or we can make a team."

Lu Zhichun nodded, and after the two reached an agreement, they whispered to each other, discussing whether no one would want to be with him because of Jian Fan's bad temper.

Amy shook her head and said, "This is unlikely. After all, Jian Fan's strength is there. I guess the probability of Jian Fan and Jiang Zhou's combination is higher. After all, No.1 and No.2 partners, a strong combination..."

The two were whispering like this when they heard Jiang Zhou say, "I choose Jian Fan."

Amy looked at Lu Zhichun proudly, her eyes said that I guessed right.

When all the dust has settled, other contestants are all envious of this pair of CPs with good looks and high abilities (an abbreviation of the English word couple, which means couples, lovers), but this does not include Lu Zhichun, who looked at the beautiful people in the front row , I spat in my heart: utilitarianism.

When she rolled her eyes halfway, she suddenly heard someone calling her name——

"I choose Lu Zhichun."

There was an uproar at the scene, not only the other contestants were shocked, but also Lu Zhichun herself. She pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me?"

Amy patted her on the shoulder sympathetically, the only expression on her face was "good luck".

This pair of enemies must dismantle the studio when they fight each other?

Ignoring the strange eyes of others, Jian Fan walked up to her and said firmly, "Yes, I like you."

"what?"

Don't blame Lu Zhichun for being unable to keep up with his rhythm, it's because his behavior today is too abnormal.Of course, Jian Fan didn't give her time to digest, and walked away with her collar.

When passing by Jiang Zhou, Lu Zhichun deliberately glanced at Jiang Zhou out of the corner of his eye, his expression was really ugly.

But who is in the mood to care about this? After arriving at the studio, Lu Zhichun and Jian Fan began to prepare the materials for the second round of the competition.

If the proposition of the first competition tests the professionalism of the contestants, then the proposition of the second competition is to test the survivability of the contestants: the market.

The survival value of a piece of clothing does not depend on its gorgeousness and elegance, but on its market survival.

Some people may think that high-end clothing has more development prospects. After all, a set of clothes can easily cost millions. But think about it, those fashion buyers only account for a small part of the market, and the middle-level consumer groups account for the majority of the market.

On this point, Jian Fan and Lu Zhichun's ideas coincided with each other, so in this competition, the two main styles did not focus on the noble and elegant clothes like most players, but put Innovation is the focus of this design.

After getting along for a day, Jian Fan, don't look at how difficult it is to get along with him, he and Lu Zhichun are quite compatible at work. Although her level is far behind him, Lu Zhichun is hardworking and studious. There is nothing wrong with being picky.

The only thing that made her feel that there was a fly in the ointment was that Jiang Zhou's studio was next door to hers. I heard that he finally chose No.3 in the competition as his partner. Not as strong as Jiang Zhou and the others.

Jian Fan packed up his things and came out, and saw Lu Zhichun staring at the studio next door in a daze, and threatened: "Although I brought you here, you can't relax, if you dare to hold me back, I will kick you out of the order." fly."

"How do you know that I must be holding you back, maybe they are not as good as us." After speaking, Lu Zhichun swung his backpack over his shoulder, turned his head handsomely and left.

Looking at the person who didn't even want to take the elevator with him, Jian Fan smiled complacently, so he is qualified to fight side by side with him.

He has seen her stay up all night at KFC for the competition, she has seen her quick thinking of temporarily digging her jeans into ripped pants, and her winter clothes coincided with his ideas. This is why he chose her The reason for being a partner.

Such a desperately talented girl, I believe she will not disappoint him.Lu Zhichun didn't care what Jian Fan thought of her, and he put his words behind him as soon as he left the door, full of joy of being promoted.

Of course Lu Zhichun was happy. If the works in the second phase of the competition were selected by a big company, they might be bought the design copyright, and she would have a considerable income by then.

In order to celebrate her promotion, on the way home, Lu Zhichun went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and red wine, first carried the battery of the electric car upstairs, and then went downstairs to pick up the ingredients in the electric car. I want to call Zhou Jinchen later and ask him when he will be back at night.

Since we want to celebrate, of course we need people to share.

Lu Zhichun, who walked upstairs and downstairs, didn't find anyone at home. When she came in with the ingredients and called on the phone, she heard the creaking sound of the door opening from the bathroom.

Lu Zhichun looked up instinctively, and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

From Zhou Jinchen's point of view, the woman turned her back, but the voice of surprise was clearly short of whistling: "You are at home."

Zhou Jinchen tied up the tie of his bathrobe, thinking that she would see him in his underwear and bathrobe, so he walked past her unhappily to get the ringing mobile phone on the locker.

In the afternoon, he came back early and wanted to take a shower before going to see the client. As a result, he had just applied the bath lotion on his body when he heard the phone in the living room ring.

He hurriedly washed off the foam on his body, grabbed the towel to dry his body hastily, put on his underwear and put on a bathrobe, and hurried out without even tying up the lace——

Zhou Jinchen didn't expect that people who didn't come home until around ten o'clock every night would come back so early tonight.

"You call me?" He hung up the phone and asked her directly, "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhichun's mind was still filled with the glamorous pictures he had just seen, such as the pectoral and abdominal muscles and mermaid lines, so how could he care to listen to what he had to say.

In fact, she is not a shy little girl. When she was in school, boys from the fashion show department walked the stage every year. She had never seen a male model of any size, and it was not surprising to see a male model who only wore underwear.

It may be that Zhou Jinchen usually wraps himself up in a cold and abstinent style, but suddenly seeing him wearing underwear and showing his chest muscles is quite sexy.

Sensing Zhou Jinchen's unfriendly eyes, Lu Zhichun said seriously: "I passed the first round of the competition, and I bought red wine specially, let's celebrate."

"Tonight? I'm afraid not. I have to see a client later."

"Is that so?" Lu Zhichun's high mood immediately fell down, but he also knew that he had no reason to ask him to share the joy with her, so he could only forcefully smile and say, "Okay, then I will celebrate by myself."

Zhou Jinchen was fully dressed and ready to go out. When he saw someone slumped on the sofa, he didn't have the mood to celebrate. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If...you want, you can wait until I come back to celebrate. I'll be back around eight o'clock .”

For the evening's celebration, Zhou Jinchen declined the client's banquet after talking about the matter and went home directly.

At home, Lu Zhichun made Coca-Cola chicken wings and warmed winter melon ribs soup. Rice was simmering in the rice cooker. When Zhou Jinchen got home, he changed into home clothes and went to the kitchen to see her cleaning salmon.

He narrowed his eyes and asked her, "What are you going to do with this fish?"

"Steam it?" Lu Zhichun asked uncertainly, she wouldn't buy such an expensive fish if it wasn't for the special price in the supermarket today.

Zhou Jinchen raised his eyebrows suddenly, and turned to seduce her: "Do you want to try other methods?"

Sure enough, Lu Zhichun's eyes lit up: "Think." Then he asked, "You do?"

Someone smiled.

While Zhou Jinchen was busy with pickling fish, Lu Zhichun ran to wash the broccoli and cherry tomatoes that were going to be used later, and then went to set the table. Pour a glass.

"Try it, this wine is very delicious."

Zhou Jinchen took a sip, why did this wine taste so sweet without any alcohol taste?
"How is this wine?"

"A wine that doesn't look like wine."

"How could it be? The promotion lady specially recommended it to me, saying that this wine is suitable for me."

Zhou Jinchen looked at her dressed up like a pure little girl, and even nodded in agreement: "This wine is indeed suitable for you."

Lu Zhichun struggled for a long time but couldn't figure out what he meant, but her attention was immediately attracted by the fried fish that Zhou Jinchen put on the plate. The delicious fish fragrance mixed with the fragrant lemon juice made people drool.

Lu Zhichun couldn't hold back when he brought the plate to the table, secretly squeezed a piece of broccoli to eat, and when he was about to sneak another bite of fish, Zhou Jinchen patted the back of his hand: "Go and wash your hands."

After washing their hands and returning, the two of them sat at the table and were finally ready to start, but Lu Zhichun suddenly snatched Zhou Jinchen's wine glass: "Wait a minute, do you have any candlesticks and candles at home? It's like eating Western food with candlelight."

Zhou Jinchen looked at the happy person, but didn't tell her that the real western food is not just candlelight.

In order to cooperate with someone who was successfully promoted, Zhou Jinchen went to the storage room to find candlesticks and candles, and took a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite from the wine cabinet.

Sitting down again, the candlelight flickered in front of the table, and the piano music that Lu Zhichun found temporarily was played on the mobile phone player.

The two quietly enjoyed the wine and salmon, and heard the sound of knives and forks scratching the plate from time to time. A person like Zhou Jinchen who pays attention to image would never allow himself to make unrefined noises.Lu Zhichun was already extra careful when holding the knife and fork, but every time she cut the fish with the knife, she would accidentally scratch the plate. In the end, she shook the knife and fork angrily, picked it up with chopsticks and took a big bite.

Finally satisfied.

Then, Lu Zhichun looked up and saw Zhou Jinchen looking at her with disapproval.

Embarrassed, she raised her glass with a smile: "Come on, let's have a drink first to celebrate my passing the competition."

"Congratulations." When the two clinked glasses, Zhou Jinchen sincerely wished.

Before he had time to remind her, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Halfway through drinking, Lu Zhichun had to stop and said sadly, "This wine is really strong."

Now she finally knew why Zhou Jinchen said that the wine she bought didn't look like wine, and the wine he took out from the wine cabinet was real red wine.

Lu Zhichun picked up the bottle and looked at the vintage, my god, how much does it cost for Lafite in 82?
It's not a loss if you have to taste it well, thinking about it, Lu Zhichun poured himself another half a glass, and continued to respect him: "I have to thank you very much."

Under the flickering candlelight, the flickering light shone on her solemn face. The table was originally a combination of Chinese and Western food, and the festive atmosphere in the room was suddenly sensationalized by her.

Zhou Jinchen still maintained the posture of toasting, and listened attentively to what she had to say.

"Thank you for taking me in and sponsoring me to participate in this competition. Without your help, I would not be able to participate in this competition, and..."

Oh, she is really not suitable for saying hypocritical words. She has practiced these words in her heart two or three times, but how can she say them so awkwardly.In the end, she simply waved her hand and said boldly: "Anyway, I still have a lot to thank you for, and it's all in the wine."

Zhou Jinchen thought she was about to take another gulp, so she heard her say, "I mean, this wine is too strong."

With this turning point, Zhou Jinchen was almost tricked by her - almost drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"I appreciate your thanks. Don't have too many burdens. Just play hard and put your heart into it."

"Attentively..." Lu Zhichun smacked her lips, and the faint candlelight shone brightly in her eyes, "This song "Carousel of Life" is really good, I think I want to turn around and spin like a wooden horse..."

A sweet smile appeared on the longing girl's face. Her appearance made Zhou Jinchen feel a softness in his heart, and the eyes that looked at her also became gentle.

What do you mean?
Why did he look at her with such gentle eyes, facing his gentle gaze, Lu Zhichun's heart skipped a beat suddenly, which made her look back and hold her hot cheeks in fright.

Sure enough, she couldn't drink too much wine, such a gentle Zhou Jinchen made her heart beat faster, and she found herself fantasizing about his red lips tasting wine...

Lu Zhichun shook her sinking head vigorously, but before she could get rid of her evil thoughts towards him, a ringing of her mobile phone brought her back to reality.

The cheerful dining atmosphere came to an abrupt end, the music stopped, and the candlelight went out.

As the headlights above his head came on, Lu Zhichun saw the name of a certain psychiatric hospital on the caller ID, and he had a bad feeling.

She answered the phone in front of Zhou Jinchen: "Hello."

"..."

"What...Which hospital is it in? I'll go there right away."

Putting down the phone, Lu Zhichun didn't even have time to change his clothes, and jumped out like a rabbit in his slippers.

Seeing her running so fast, Zhou Jinchen also changed into his outdoor clothes, put on her coat and shoes and chased her out. When he chased to the elevator room, the elevator had already reached the downstairs.He pressed another elevator directly to the underground parking lot.

When he drove out of the community, he saw her anxiously stretching out her hand to hail a taxi, while fully loaded cars whizzed past her eyes.

She was so anxious that she almost cried.

Zhou Jinchen pressed the window and signaled her to get in the car.

Outside the emergency room of the Affiliated Hospital of University A, Lu Zhichun rushed in, grabbed the head nurse Yan who often took care of her mother, and asked in a trembling voice: "Aunt Yan, hasn't my mother's condition been stable all the time? Why did she suddenly have a heart attack?" sick?"

"Your mother had symptoms of palpitation and chest tightness a long time ago. We wanted to call you to tell you. You also know that your mother's situation was ups and downs. She was awake at that time. When she heard our conversation, she begged us not to Let me tell you, I don’t want to burden you any more, so we have to give her some heart disease medicine to relieve her condition..."

"You don't know when your mother was seriously ill. When she was awake, she called your name even in her dreams. She was afraid that she would not see you for the last time. When she was not awake, she would beat her chest or scratch herself when she felt uncomfortable. ...Your mother often told me that our little Chun was an excellent child when she was sober, and she was sensible since she was a child, but because she was born in such a family, she was dragged down. "

life and death...

She has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, and her mother loves her so much, how can she let her die?

Lu Zhichun still remembers that when he was a child, his father worked outside the city. One time, Lu Zhichun, who had just entered elementary school, went out to make burritos with his mother, but suddenly it snowed heavily. Lu Zhichun was so cold that he kept yelling at her mother. She took it off and wrapped it around her body, and she froze all afternoon in her single clothes; also, every time she ate, her mother would leave eggs and meat for her, saying that she didn’t like it, and then she accidentally discovered that her mother was secretly eating her food The leftover meat, and it tastes very delicious...

At this time, a medical staff came out of the emergency room and asked, "Who is Guo Shujiao's family member, come here."

Lu Zhichun snapped back from his memories, and hurried over: "I, I am her daughter."

Zhou Jinchen parked the car and went to the emergency room, and saw Lu Zhichun running up and down several times, paying fees, taking medicine and taking chest X-rays, and when he finally stopped, he saw her standing outside the door of the emergency room without blinking her eyes Staring at the door.

The helpless expression made her look very small and fragile, but it was this fragile body that was working hard to live...

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Jinchen realized that when the supermarket first met her, what she said about raising tuition fees and her mother's hospitalization expenses was true.

A person who has been pushed down to poverty by life still has tenacious vitality like a grass!

Inexplicably, Zhou Jinchen respected her, walked slowly behind her, and put his coat on her shoulders.

Lu Zhichun's shoulders sank, and he turned to look at him as if he had suddenly woken up. He just said thank you softly and then remained silent.The incandescent lights in the corridor made her pale as paper, and her red eyes looked particularly frightening.

But she didn't cry.

Zhou Jinchen comforted: "Go over there and rest for a while, your mother will be fine."

"No, I'll wait here. My mother will wake up knowing I'm outside."

Zhou Jinchen didn't say anything, and stood outside the door with her and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the emergency room was finally pushed open from the inside. Lu Zhichun walked over with limp legs, fearing that his mother would be pushed out and covered with a white cloth to declare her death.

Seeing the doctor's relaxed expression, Lu Zhichun also heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that her mother was finally rescued, but before she recovered from the surprise, she was called to the office by the doctor with a serious face.

[4]
Coming out of the doctor's office, Lu Zhichun walked out of the hospital hall like a ghost, looking forward in confusion. The blue light of the ambulance parked at the front door, which was too late to turn off, pierced Lu Zhichun's eyes and made her feel as if she was drowning. She quickly turned her back and walked a few steps quickly to avoid the glare of the light.

Ten minutes ago, the doctor called her into the office. At that time, she thought that the doctor was going to explain some precautions. Unexpectedly, he suggested to give her mother a heart bypass operation, which cost 20 yuan.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, I thought I was about to turn over for Xianyu, but this is not for Xianyu, it is clearly to prevent her from turning over forever.

20, where can she get it?But the mother who loves her, she can't just watch her mother being tortured by the disease.

Lu Zhichun sat on the steps in despair.

It seemed as if a century had passed, she dug out her address book with trembling hands, and found the only person in the world who was related to her by blood.

The moment the phone was connected, Lu Zhichun said in a hoarse voice: "My mother is sick, can you borrow money..."

"wrong number."

Zhou Jinchen followed the medical staff to send Guo Shujiao to the ward, and hired a nurse for her before coming out to look for Lu Zhichun, but she was neither in the lobby nor in the doctor's office. Finally, the cleaning lady told him that Lu Zhichun had gone outside.

He walked outside the door and saw the lonely figure on the side of the hall, curled up pitifully into a ball, and she was still holding the phone...

At this moment, Lu Zhichun was so shocked by reality that she couldn't stand up. In despair, she heard footsteps from far to near, until a black coat was draped over her shoulders, and the light coat wrapped her tightly with a familiar warmth. live.

"are you OK?"

Zhou Jinchen sat down next to her and raised his arms to hug her shoulders to comfort her, but later he felt that it was inappropriate, so the hands touching her shoulders changed to rubbing the top of her hair.

Lu Zhichun looked back at him in a daze, his eyes fell on the exquisite cuff buttons on his cuffs and the Vacheron Constantin, as if he had just discovered the gaps that she had ignored in an instant.

It wasn't until this moment that she deeply realized that she was able to live in a warm house and eat imported vegetables, not by her own ability. If Zhou Jinchen hadn't pitied her, she might not even be able to pay the rent now.

But after all, she still has to face life alone, and she must be strong.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhichun got up and returned the coat to him, then looked at him solemnly.

She suddenly bent down and bowed deeply to him: "Achen, thank you."

After finishing speaking, she thumped and ran away.

On the second day of the competition, Lu Zhichun came to the studio with heavy dark circles under his eyes and a sluggish expression. The person who had sworn yesterday that he would not be held back by others made repeated mistakes all morning and was scolded bloody by Jian Fan.

"I said what's going on with you?"

"Don't know how to choose preferences when working with high-res images? Look at what shit you draw!"

"If you don't want to do it, get out immediately."

"I won the championship even if I fly solo."

Facing Jian Fan's poisonous tongue, Lu Zhichun didn't want to say a word.

Instead, another voice came over: "Please be more polite, what is your identity, bossing her around?"

Jian Fan: "..."

Lu Zhichun: "..."

The scolding person and the scolding person followed the source of the sound.Seeing Jiang Zhou standing at the door, Lu Zhichun's expression became even more serious.

"I'm talking to her, what's your business?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou ignored him and said directly to Lu Zhichun, "Xiaochun, I have something to ask you, come out for a while, it's about your mother."

The two stood still in the safe passage, and Lu Zhichun asked, "How do you know about my mother?"

"Aunt Yan called me first last night. At that time, I was out socializing and couldn't leave, so I asked them to call you."

"..."

Seeing her haggard a lot, Jiang Zhou couldn't bear it, frowned and asked, "How is the money for the operation, auntie? Maybe I can help you raise some."

Lu Zhichun looked up at him. If it was in the past, she would definitely be grateful.

Now?just forget it.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice: "Auntie's illness can't be delayed. If you don't accept my help, where can you get so much money?"

"and then?"

"I can give you 20 yuan without you paying it back, but I have conditions. You must withdraw from this competition. Also, you can't tell anyone about my bumping into someone that night. This is a condition."

What does it mean to hit a snake seven inches and get three points?Jiang Zhou saw that her mother was her weakness, so he made a request to her openly.

Heh, what a clever way to kill two birds with one stone. She took his money, and his hit-and-run incident would never be known. At the same time, she forced her to withdraw from the competition, weakening Jian Fan's strength, so that he could easily win the competition. champion.

Lu Zhichun looked at him silently, without even the strength to curse.

At the end of the lunch break, others walked in in groups of threes and twos, only Jian Fan was still walking alone. He just pushed open the door of the design room and was still shocked when he saw Lu Zhichun in front of the computer.

"Why don't you go to eat? Use your brain more when drawing pictures. Even if a pig's brain is crushed to death here, it will be useless."

This person still doesn't change his poisonous tongue nature.

Lu Zhichun didn't eat lunch, and used his lunch break to delete and redo the design drawings. Hearing this, he glanced at Jian Fan and continued to work on himself. It was rare for the two of them to spend a peaceful afternoon together.

When he was about to get off work, Jian Fan sat in front of the computer and raced against time to change the renderings. Lu Zhichun had already turned off the computer and packed his luggage.

Jian Fan glanced at her distractedly: "Why are you taking these back, you won't come tomorrow?"

"I want to ask you something, if you are the only one in this competition, are you really sure you can win?"

"Of course, don't you believe it?"

"Then I wish you the championship in advance."

Jian Fan always felt that what she said was weird, but he was trying to finalize it, so he didn't have time to ask her what she meant.However, within 10 minutes, he received a text message from Lu Zhichun on his mobile phone: I'm sorry Jian Fan, I decided to withdraw from this competition, I wish you success.

Jian Fan exploded in an instant.

The night was dull, Zhou Jinchen went home directly after get off work.

Press the combination lock, the door panel opens in response, and there is darkness in front of you.

Zhou Jinchen habitually pressed the switch to change into slippers, turned his head, and kicked a ball by his feet.

Startled, he looked down.

Lu Zhichun was wearing out clothes, and sat on the floor with his back against the wall, his hands tightly hugging the things in his arms, and his head hanging down.

The light above her head suddenly turned on, and she slowly raised her head, the radiance in her eyes had long since disappeared.

Zhou Jinchen asked her: "Didn't you go to accompany your mother tonight?"

She shook her head dully and didn't want to speak.

Zhou Jinchen looked at the protruding shape of the things in the black bag and asked her, "What's in your bag?"

Painful struggle flashed in Lu Zhichun's eyes. She got up slowly, clutching the bag in her arms as if holding a life-saving straw, and swayed into the bedroom.

As the door panel closed with a loud bang, there was a rustling sound from inside, Zhou Jinchen couldn't sit idly by Lu Zhichun who was in such an abnormal mood.

At this time, the screen of the mobile phone she left on the ground lit up.

The caller ID showed a picture of a cockroach, and the note said Xiaoqiang was calling.

The person named Xiaoqiang called and saw no answer, so he started sending her WeChat again.

Jian Fan had sex with her, sent a wechat message and no one responded to him, and then called her again. He was so angry that he tore Lu Zhichun's posture with his hands.

But he didn't know where she lived.

When the call was finally connected, Jian Fan came up and scolded: "I said what's wrong with you, just because I scolded you this morning, I want to leave you alone? I said what's wrong with you, I scolded you not for your own good, Do you think you should be scolded for the mistakes you made this morning?"

"..."

It is clearly displayed in the call, but the other party does not speak.

What do you mean, still playing cold war with him?

After calling him for so long and she didn't answer, he should scold her a little more, but he felt that he scolded her too much, Jian Fan suppressed his anger, and his words were no longer as harsh as before: "Why don't you talk? ,Cried?"

Zhou Jinchen finally heard something, quickly sorted out Xiaoqiang's words, and asked him, "Did she tell you to quit the competition?"

"..." Jian Fan was stunned this time, "You are?"

"I'm her friend." Zhou Jinchen glanced at the guest room and said before hanging up the phone, "something happened to her, I promise she will show up in the studio on time tomorrow morning, that's all, goodbye."

Zhou Jinchen hung up the phone, went directly to the guest room, knocked for a long time, but there was no movement inside the door, so he had to twist the doorknob and walk in.

The floor of the guest room was littered with various clothes, and the woman staying in the room was cutting her designs with scissors. teeth to bite the button on the clothes.

How embarrassing and embarrassing she is with disheveled hair, but she doesn't care anymore, no designer competition, no dream, can't beat the blow of reality to her.

Zhou Jinchen stepped through the mess in the room, walked up to her and asked, "Why did you withdraw from this competition?"

A self-defeating woman ignored him.

Zhou Jinchen continued to ask: "Isn't this your dream all along? How can you just give up if you say you want to? Are you willing?"

A certain woman still ignored him, and started to cut this one for another.Zhou Jinchen was so angry by her appearance that his head ached, he pulled the clothes from her hands and threw them aside, he couldn't help raising his voice, and asked, "You really have the heart to waste all your previous efforts like this?"

With nothing in his hand, Lu Zhichun threw away the scissors, and finally broke out the anxiety and helplessness of the past two days, and yelled at him: "But I want my mother to live. If I can't get money, my mother will die. I can get 20 yuan..."

As if he couldn't take it anymore, Lu Zhichun fell to the ground dejectedly, weeping silently while cutting the drawings on the ground: "Because of 20, I sacrificed my dream, and I am no longer qualified to be a designer."

"No, things will always turn around."

But those who were immersed in the sad world didn't hear Zhou Jinchen's overtones at all. Anyway, she could no longer participate in the competition, and she was not reconciled.

Looking at this ostrich girl, Zhou Jinchen really lost his mind, and asked her very seriously: "Did you say that you don't want to be a designer anymore?"

The ostrich girl does not speak.

"Then I will help you."

Then, she saw Zhou Jinchen turn on her computer, find the file where she saved her sketches, and press the delete button in front of her. Feeling that she didn't do it thoroughly enough, she also deleted the backup of her storage hard disk, and finally clicked delete permanently.

Seeing her four years of painstaking efforts disappearing before her eyes, the ostrich girl finally became anxious. She pulled the computer and opened the recycle bin in disbelief. Seeing that there was nothing in the recycle bin, she slammed into Zhou Jinchen like a little leopard. .

"Who told you to delete my work?" She cried and kicked Zhou Jinchen, "Who told you to meddle in my own business, this is my work for four years, why don't you leave some souvenirs for me?"

Although Zhou Jinchen, who was beaten for no reason, had a straight face, he was not angry. He asked her, "Do you regret it?"

Lu Zhichun cried even harder, that was her four years of hard work, who would feel better if she put it on?She was sad when she saw Zhou Jinchen approaching her computer again.

Little Leopard finally became anxious, snatched the computer, and held it in his arms like a baby: "You have deleted all my works, what else do you want?"

Zhou Jinchen looked at her and smiled, and after a while reminded her: "Open the hidden file and take a look?"

I vaguely guessed something.

Lu Zhichun entered the folder named after her on the computer according to his words, and sure enough, he found the folder and checked the properties——when did he set her files as hidden files?

She looked up at him and asked angrily, "Is it interesting to scare me like this?"
