Difficult office romance

"What do you like to eat for breakfast?" Cen Jing walked to the door and asked while Ke Ran was washing up.

After spitting toothpaste foam, Ke Ran blinked and said, "I usually don't eat breakfast on weekends."

Cen Jing frowned: "This is not a good habit."

Of course, Ke Ran knows that this is not a good habit. During the week, he can still insist on buying breakfast on the way to work. When the weekend comes, he doesn’t want to move at all when he wakes up in the morning, okay?Because of this habit, I was nagged by my mother every day when I came home from vacation, but I still couldn't correct it.

"Then what do you have for breakfast on weekends?" Ke Ran asked tentatively, took a sip of water and continued to rinse his mouth.

Cen Jing suddenly relaxed his frown that had just been frowned not long ago, smiled particularly brightly at Ke Ran, and said, "I don't eat either."

"puff."

The water in Ke Ran's mouth sprayed out uncontrollably, he picked up a towel to wipe his mouth, and said, "Then you still ask me!"

Cen Jing shrugged: "I thought you would eat."

Ke Ran: "..."

Cen Jing: "Have a glass of milk, I'll get you a glass." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Cen Jing's words of warning him to eat breakfast are still ringing in his ears. Ke Ran never thought that Lawyer Cen, who is meticulous in his work and has an orderly life on weekdays, is also a person who doesn't like to get up early and skip breakfast on weekends.

All this is finally real, Ke Ran likes this side of Cen Jing.

When Ke Ran finally finished washing, took his mobile phone and went to the living room to continue nestling on the sofa, he found that the living room was empty.

There was a slight noise in the kitchen, and Ke Ran followed the sound and walked over. Passing by the restaurant, he found that two glasses of milk and two fried eggs had been neatly placed on the dining table.

Cen Jingzheng came out of the kitchen with chopsticks, and said as he walked, "I fried an egg while you were washing up. Well, I can't let you be hungry on the first day of staying with me."

Ke Ran smiled and reached out to take the chopsticks: "Thanks for your hard work, Cen Lu."

But Cen Jing didn't let go of him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What should I call me?"

Ke Ran immediately understood, and explained: "But I always feel that it doesn't matter if I call you by your name."

Cen Jing countered: "Then why don't you feel that you are not big or small when you are lying in my arms?"

Ke Ran: "..."

Why is your mouth so powerful?

Poking Ke Ran's face with the tail of his chopsticks, Cen Jing said helplessly, "You can call it whatever you want, eat it while it's hot, it'll be cold later."

After simply eating breakfast, Ke Ran asked himself to take over the task of washing dishes, and Cen Jing did not refuse. Sooner or later, Ke Ran will become another master of his family. It is good to be able to take over the role unconsciously.

When Ke Ran finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, he saw Cen Jing sitting on the sofa with a computer on the armrest of the sofa on his right, as if he was browsing something, when he noticed Ke Ran walking over, Cen Jing patted his side s position.

After sleeping in his arms, Ke Ran was no longer restrained, and simply walked over and rested his head on Cen Jing's lap, and lay down on the sofa.

"Are you comfortable?" Cen Jing asked.

"It's okay." Ke Ran replied.

One was sitting and looking at the computer and the other was lying down and looking at the phone. Neither of them spoke, but they didn't feel embarrassed.

It was Cen Jing who broke the tranquility first.

"Do you want to work with me on the drug trafficking case?"

Ke Ran was a little surprised when he heard this question. He thought that the two had reached an agreement through the last WeChat chat.

Could it be that Cen Jing regretted bringing himself along?

No way, what is there to regret.

Or did something change in the case, and Cen Jing felt that it was inappropriate for him to join?

Putting down half of the social news, Ke Ran replied seriously: "Of course I want it."

Hearing the uneasiness in Ke Ran's words, Cen Jing patted Ke Ran's head reassuringly, but his eyes were still fixed on the computer screen: "Have you considered it seriously again?"

Although he didn't know what Cen Jing was worried about, Ke Ran replied, "I've considered it."

Cen Jing: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ke Ran: "What?"

Cen Jing: "In the death penalty, an unsuccessful defense is a life."

Ke Ran thought for a while and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm a little bit worried. Isn't this a process that every defense lawyer needs to go through?"

Cen Jing: "Strictly speaking, not."

He sighed, and said, "There are also many lawyers who don't take death penalty cases from the very beginning. I brought it up a while ago because I think you can get in touch with them. With your ability, you should be able to take on such cases."

Ke Ran's tone was relaxed, and he said half-jokingly: "Then I will try my best to live up to Lawyer Cen's expectations."

"But I regret it a little now." Cen Jing said.

Putting away the imprudence in his tone, Ke Ran said: "Don't worry, I will treat this case with a very serious attitude. I will ask you or Brother Yan if I am unclear, and I will never take it with me." .”

"That was not what I meant."

Cen Jing finally looked away from the computer screen, turned to look at Ke Ran lying on his lap with a puzzled expression, and said, "I don't really want you to face this pressure now."

Ke Ran was stunned. He thought that Cen Jing was worried about his lack of ability, but when he thought about it, he was completely wrong.

He smiled and said, "It hurts."

After that, he stretched out his hand to pat Cen Jing's face, and said, "But you have to let me grow up, I said I want to stand side by side with you."

"Okay." Cen Jing stretched out his hand and wrapped it around his.

The rest time always passes quickly, and it is Black Monday again in a blink of an eye.

People in the law firm walked in and out of the wind, and the sound of typing on the keyboard filled the entire office area.

After lunch at noon, there was no time to rest, so Ke Ran and Ye Sa went to the court together to hold another court session in a joint case.

"That's about it for this case." Ye Sa, who was on the co-pilot, sorted out the materials and said.

"It is estimated that the sentence will be passed in court." Ke Ran also felt that there were no more disputes.

Ye Sa sighed: "Children nowadays are really too reckless in doing things."

Ke Ran also felt that it was a pity: "The family is not short of money, and they are all pursuing novelty... Sigh, the price to be paid just for this novelty is too high."

"Did you and Cen Lu break the window paper?"

When Ye Sa changed the subject, Ke Ran was caught off guard.

Ke Ran: "Ah? Poke, pierce what?"

Ye Sa: "Window paper!"

Ke Ran: "...Oh."

With a blank look, Ye Sa asked, "Huh?"

Ke Ran: "...um."

Then he heard Ye Sa chuckled from beside him: "I really didn't think you would be together."

"There's something unexpected." Ke Ran muttered.

Ye Sa said: "Personality, one of you is impulsive and the other calm, the difference is obvious."

Ke Ran cut out and said, "Isn't this just complementary?"

"Less." Ye Sa said, "You take it for granted. People subconsciously reject differences. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many 'incompatibility'?"

Ke Ran remained silent, as if this was the truth.

But there are those who can go further by complementing each other, and there are also those who break up because of personality differences. Thousands of people have thousands of ways to fall in love. What about yourself and Cen Jing?

"And office romances."

Ye Sa added: "The reason why office romances can't last long is because there are too many conflicts at work. Everyone has their own ideas. It is really difficult to convince each other."

"Then bring the conflicts at work into life?" Ke Ran seemed to understand what Ye Sa wanted to express.

"Ah."

Ke Ran could only say dryly, "Let's talk about it."

Apart from the same gender, how many similarities are there between him and Cen Jing?

Ye Sa said a few words, but he was telling him that the relationship between you and Cen Jing is more difficult than you imagined.

Feeling Ke Ran's depression, Ye Sa wondered if he had gone too far, and adjusted the atmosphere and said: "Calm down your emotions! The court will be held later! The children are still waiting for us to save! Although I think these few days He can't escape for a month."

Ke Ran also doesn't want her to worry, not to mention that he and Cen Jing don't have any conflicts now, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and unfounded worries can't solve the problem.

Rubbing his face, Ke Ran agreed: "Okay! Let's save the lost boy!"

Two days later, Ke Ran, who was sitting in line at the city detention center, thought, Am I here to save the middle-aged man after saving the young man who lost his footing?

Cen Jing next to him was still typing on the keyboard, Ke Ran was too embarrassed to just sit and play with his mobile phone, so he took out his computer and started making ppts.

Next week, Cen Jing will have a lecture on risk control in public institutions, and this week's ppt must be made.

Good thing I'm not straight.

Looking at a folder full of materials in his collection, Ke Ran, who is confident in his own aesthetic obsession, thought so.

Time passed quickly after work. When the staff of the Disciplinary Section came to inform them, the two quickly put away their computers, looked at each other, obeyed the command, and went to the No. 6 meeting room.

Sun Youde had already sat down, wearing a uniform orange-red vest, with a uniform crew-shaven head, and his burly figure seemed a bit crowded sitting on the small bench.

Unlike the other people Ke Ran met before who often leaned forward and lowered their heads, Sun Youde leaned back on the chair and looked straight ahead. There was no fear in his eyes, but he also couldn't see anything else.

Cen Jing sat down first, and asked routinely: "Hello, are you Sun Youde?"

Sun Youde nodded, and Ke Ran sat down immediately after him.

Cen Jing: Could you briefly describe your identity?

Sun Youde scratched his neck, and said slowly: "Sun Youde, male, Han nationality, 42 years old, native of City C, do you need to say your ID number?"

Ke Ran: "No need."

Cen Jing: "I am a lawyer from a law firm. My surname is Cen, Cen Jing, and this is lawyer Ke Ranke. We are entrusted by your mother, Li Ruolan, to deal with your crimes of transporting, selling drugs and illegally possessing firearms. A lawyer in the investigation phase of a case provides you with legal advice, represents you in appeals and accusations, and meets with you by correspondence, do you agree?"

Sun Youde nodded: "Agreed." Then he raised his head and asked, "How does my mother look? How about her body?"

Cen Jing thought for a while and said, "I'm not very clear about my body. I didn't feel any discomfort when I came to our clinic last time, but my complexion won't get better during this time. I think you know it too."

Sun Youde hurriedly said: "Yes, she must not be resting well, you... Lawyer Cen, right?"

Cen Jing nodded.

"My mother has been in poor health, but there is nothing serious about it. If she feels unwell, you must tell me next time you come. I have asked someone outside to take care of her."

Cen Jing nodded and said, "Okay, we will tell you about your mother's situation every time we come over, and we will also tell her about your situation."

Sun Youde let out a breath: "Let's talk about my situation."

Cen Jing understood: "Well, I understand. We will."
