Chapter 38 Trouble

He Jing stared blankly at the photo, which did not show the faces of the two people who were kissing each other, but it was not the first time he saw the same scene.

That day at the "Time" Inn in Hangzhou, Lin Qiao's flying smile on the photo wall really impressed him deeply.

As for the jacket worn by the person who kissed Lin Qiao, he saw... Han Zhao wearing it a few days ago.

He Jing actually felt a little hot as he pinched the flimsy photo at his fingertips.

■

"Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi..."

Before dawn, Han Zhao's alarm clock by the bed rang for a long time before he stopped it with one hand.

"Um……"

He was going to the suburbs for a court hearing early this morning, so he must not get up late as usual.

Turning around, Han Zhao hugged He Jing from behind, and caressed his waist naturally.

He Jing moved and curled up slightly.

"Are you awake?" Han Zhao asked vaguely, "Did you sleep late last night?"

He Jing opened his eyes wide and looked at the ceiling: "It's not very late."

Han Zhao kissed his neck in a daze, and pressed his lower body against his buttocks, unconsciously rubbing it a few times.

Men are easily emotional in the morning, and after a few strokes, Han Zhao's hand on his waist moved to his buttocks, and his fingertips were still sliding through the gap between his buttocks through his underwear.

He Jing held down his troubled hand.

"Don't make trouble, you will be late for the court hearing."

Han Zhao turned his head and glanced at the alarm clock, endured it for a while, and finally let go.

Before getting up, he took a sip of He Jing's earlobe.

"Save it, fuck you tonight."

The rustling sound of washing came one after another, and it didn't take long for Han Zhao to clean himself up and prepare to leave.

When there was a "bang" sound of closing the door outside, He Jing jumped up from the bed.

He hadn't slept all night, and now there were huge dark circles under his eyes, but he didn't feel tired at all.

After turning to that photo yesterday, he checked the legal regulations like sleepwalking, sent out the first draft of the memorandum, turned off the computer and went to bed.

In the silent night, there was darkness all around.The people around him took long breaths, He Jing closed his eyes, and pictures flashed in front of his eyes like a movie.

What I think about the most is what kind of scene was it when the photo was taken?

From hugging to kissing, the two photos of different actions in one scene should use the Selfie function of the camera and set the continuous shutter within a certain period of time.

Where is the shining golden snow mountain?Tibet?Yunnan?Or abroad?

By the way, when he saw the photos in Hangzhou, he felt that the figure of the person hugging Lin Qiao was familiar, but because of the different hairstyle, he didn't think about Han Zhao.

What did the proprietress of the inn say?Lawyer Lin and his ex-boyfriend...taken when the hotel just opened...

When did the hotel open? !Ten years ago?Such a literary and artistic youth hostel has been open for more than ten years?

He Jing really wanted to believe this, but no matter the age of the proprietress or the temperament of the hotel, no matter how you look at it, it is not a restaurant that has been open for more than ten years.

Intuitively, he felt that this was not a photo of Han Zhao and Lin Qiao when they were in college.Even if Han Zhao took a photo from more than ten years ago as a bookmark, this...

He dared not think about it any longer.

After Han Zhao went out, He Jing didn't care to brush his teeth and wash his face, and opened the closet to rummage through his clothes.

Without much effort, he dug out the clothes Han Zhao wore for hiking a few days ago.

Taking out the photo that he stuffed back into the book last night, He Jing checked the details of the clothes... It was absolutely true, the person in the photo was Han Zhao.

In the morning when he was supposed to be busy getting ready for work, He Jing went through all the books on the shelf.

But apart from this photo, nothing else has been found.

Seeing that it was going to be too late to go to work, He Jing hurriedly restored the bookshelf to its original state, put on his bag and went out.

"The kid is not in a good mood." In the office, Jennifer read He Jing's first draft and called him to discuss the memo beside her seat. "Is it too late yesterday?"

"Ah... um..." He Jing pinched the acupoint on the bridge of his nose with his fingertips, "I'll go buy a cup of coffee later."

The two discussed for a while what Memo needed to write in detail. After the chat, He Jing put away the documents and pencils, got up and walked to his seat.

When he looked up, he happened to meet Xie Rui walking towards him.

It was already lunch time, Xie Rui came to ask Lin Qiao for dinner, he said hello to his colleagues, and walked into the office to find Lin Qiao.

He Jing sat in his seat and watched his back enter the office. When he opened the door, the huge photo showed his face again.

Really, a headache.

He Jing rubbed his temples, curled his lips helplessly.

When the headache was splitting, the mobile phone on the table rang.When he opened it, it was Luo Yin who sent him a WeChat message, asking him if his feet were okay, and if he was still attending the class reunion tonight?

He Jing completely forgot about it.

After thinking for a while, he pressed the voice button: "My feet are fine, I can walk. But I have to work overtime today. If you are still there after overtime, I will come."

After lunch, He Jing went to buy coffee.After drinking coffee and making tea, I got through the whole afternoon and then dinner.At ten o'clock in the evening, He Jing finally finished the draft and sent the memo to Jennifer.

When I walked out of the office, many people were still working overtime.Not going home for dinner has already been reported to Han Zhao, standing under the brightly lit office building, He Jing hesitated whether to go home or not.

After thinking for a long time, he finally reached out to hail a taxi and went straight to the address Luo Yin sent him.

"Squad leader!"

"Yo yo, He Jing is here!"

"Suit and tie, elite lawyer!"

As soon as He Jing walked into this small bar near the school, he became the focus of the students.

It has not been long since graduation, and the halo of the former school master has not faded away. In addition, he is the only one in the class who has entered such a big institute as Hewei through his own efforts, so he naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Facing everyone's teasing, He Jing suddenly felt relaxed.

"Don't laugh at me. After the Chinese New Year, it has not stopped until now. In the days of working overtime every day, whoever loves it will go."

After playing around, Luo Yin pulled He Jing to sit and chat with classmates he knew well.

Life and work chatted nonsense, and while talking, someone asked He Jing if he had a girlfriend now.

"Yes." He Jing smiled at the person who asked the question.

He has not been close to women for four years in college, and when he said these two simple words, the pot exploded in an instant.

Facing everyone's endless inquiries, He Jing raised his hands in surrender: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you everything—he is from Shanghai, I met in a judicial examination training class last year, and now he works in a law firm."

Everyone booed to see the photos, He Jing waved his hand and said that he had just changed his mobile phone, and there was nothing in it.

When someone asked his girlfriend's appearance and personality, He Jing was not modest: "She is not bad, and I finally caught up with her. She is very mature and good at taking care of me."

"He Jing, from your tone, it seems that you are sure about getting married!" A girl teased him.

Unexpectedly, He Jing nodded seriously: "If possible."

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, saying that he was abducted as soon as he went to work, and the girls who loved him in college were about to cry.

He Jing lowered his head, took a sneak peek at Luo Yin out of the corner of his eye, seeing that her expression was normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The bar was already the second meeting after dinner at the class reunion, and He Jing arrived late, and after playing for a while, someone already said he was going home.

People at the table left one after another. Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, He Jing simply sat down at the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of whiskey.

He saw Han Zhao drinking this wine at home, but he didn't like it when he wanted to taste it.However, ordering a drink in this kind of place does not seem to be so unacceptable.

After half a glass, Luo Yin sat next to him and ordered a cocktail.

Patting He Jing's arm, Luo Yin said, "Don't tell me if you have a girlfriend, you are too mean!"

He Jing looked at her and said half-jokingly, "I'm afraid you will be sad."

Luo Yin looked at him for a while and smiled.

"I can't talk about it, I like you a little bit, but since you have found the right girl, I will find another direction?"

He Jing raised his glass to her: "Hurry up."

With a "ding", Luo Yin held the wine glass and touched him lightly.

"do not worry!"

After toasting, He Jing smiled at her, then looked down at the wine glass with deep thoughts.

"He Jing, why do I think you're unhappy?" Luo Yin didn't miss the disappointment in his eyes, "I didn't see you like this in the mountains a few days ago, why don't you look like a person immersed in love at all?"

"It doesn't look like it?" He Jing asked back, "Don't you have troubles when you are in love?"

Luo Yin tilted his head to look at him: "What troubles? Let's talk about it."

"What's troubling... is that his ex-boyfriend is my colleague," He Jing sighed, "It's very good, the kind that even flattery can't keep up with."

"Huh?" Luo Yin opened his mouth in shock.

He Jing spread his hands towards her, expressing that it was such a coincidence.

"Then...they still have contact in private?"

"As far as I know, no. My colleague is married and is doing well now." He Jing added.

"Then what are you worried about?" Luo Yin was puzzled, "The past is the past."

He Jing raised his wine glass and poured a big gulp of whiskey into his mouth.

"Honestly, I don't know what I'm worrying about-I accidentally saw their past photos yesterday, and I'm depressed until now."

"A photo, are you too stingy? You can't take a photo if you've been in a relationship?"

"It's not the same thing to hear about it and see it with your own eyes." He Jing smiled wryly, and after thinking about it, he explained to her, "He said they just fell in love a long time ago, but this photo doesn't look like that. Still Yes, there are many small things that can't be explained, which also make me feel that things in the past are not as simple as he said - there is always a feeling of ambiguity between them."

"Then you ask directly, it's not good for two people not to speak directly when they have something to do."

"Then what if you don't get an answer if you ask?"

Luo Yin asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

He Jing smiled wryly: "He is a very thoughtful person. If he didn't say anything before, he just didn't want to say it. Besides, if he really doesn't want to answer, I don't mind making a fool of myself."

"He Jing, I think why are you a little...afraid of her?"

"Afraid of him?" He Jing thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of him, I'm only afraid of losing him."
