The more Yi Pin thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the deceased Luo Luoluo.
"Concentrate! Focus!" Shen Yu said coldly, looking up at Yi Pin.
The two of them were busy all night, and finally managed to write a qualified thesis.
Yi Pin was a bit dazed. There were many tutors who, although under the guise of giving guidance, rarely really gave sincere and serious advice.
Suddenly, he thought that as a teacher, Shen Yu didn't seem so annoying.
It was already evening when they came out of the library. The stars in the sky were twinkling, and the crescent moon was smiling faintly.
On the campus path, all the maple leaves had turned yellow. There were young couples and girlfriends holding hands and running on the playground, and boys and girls coming out of the grove, indulging in amorous pleasures.
Yi Pin suddenly felt a bit reluctant. He used to always think about getting out, getting a job, being self - reliant, and avenging his little uncle. But now, he didn't think so anymore. Instead, he even felt a bit reluctant.
Yi Pin was always like this. After changing to a fixed environment, it took him a long time to integrate, but once he did, it also meant it would take a long time for him to detach.
"What? Reluctant to leave?" Shen Yu asked with a smile, as if he could see through Yi Pin's mind.
"No!" Yi Pin replied coldly, looking serious. He always thought Shen Yu's expression of acting as if he had seen through everything was extremely annoying.
Shen Yu looked back at Yi Pin and hooked the corner of his mouth.
The two strolled on the fiery - red campus path together. The warm lights blended with the withered yellow leaves on the ground.
Neither of them spoke. Only the rustling sound of the crushed leaves could be heard.
"Ring, ring, ring!" Yi Pin's phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Yi Pin said impatiently, "Speak!"
"Yi Pin, I... I want to ask if you're free this weekend. Let's have a meal together." Meng Ran's coquettish voice came through the phone, sounding even more flirtatious.
"No!" Yi Pin answered almost without hesitation, then hung up the phone.
Hearing this, Shen Yu hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"You're not going to be able to get a girlfriend like this," Shen Yu said with a smile, looking at Yi Pin in front of him. The corner of his mouth was hooked up, and there was a hint of inexplicable nervousness in his eyes.
"I don't want to be in a relationship for now," Yi Pin replied coldly, still looking like a cold - faced person. Seeing Shen Yu always reminded him of what he had done.
Shen Yu shrugged and didn't say much.
The two were silent. The air seemed to freeze, and it was even colder than usual. But the autumn wind showed no sign of stopping its sweep.
Walking on the campus, Yi Pin felt a bit cold and panicked.
He tightened his clothes and walked towards the school gate without waiting for Shen Yu, who had gone to the parking lot to get his car.
He thought he would surely be able to hail a taxi at the school gate, but it seemed that fate was playing a joke on him.
There wasn't a single taxi passing by at the school gate of a university. It could only be said that the principal was wise to choose a remote location. Although the school's academic performance was good, it was isolated from the outside world.
"Get in the car. I'll take you back," Shen Yu said with a mischievous smile, stretching out his hand on the car window.
Looking at Yi Pin hugging himself tightly in the cold wind, he found it a bit funny.
Yi Pin sized up the situation for a long time. According to this situation, he would have to walk back. But it was quite a long way from the school to the law firm in the city center.
After much thought, he got in the car. Looking at Shen Yu, he felt a bit embarrassed.
If he really walked from the school to the law firm, he might arrive when the sun rose the next day.
"By the way, have you read those similar cases? You should read more," Shen Yu continued.
Suddenly, he felt that he had worried too much. Throughout his life, he had never worried so much about anyone, and in the end, the person didn't even appreciate it.
"Yeah!" Yi Pin nodded, still looking cold - faced.
"Can you say something other than 'yeah'?" Shen Yu laughed, looking back at Yi Pin, whose neck was always tilted towards the window.
"Yeah!" Yi Pin replied coldly and smiled faintly.
Shen Yu took Yi Pin back to the law firm and then drove back to his own place.
The two didn't say a word all the way. The air seemed to be still, with only the autumn wind blowing in their ears.
Yi Pin sighed helplessly when he returned to the lounge.
Looking at the small bed in front of him and the room full of books, there was hardly any remaining space to put anything.
It looked like a refugee camp.
"Heaven will place great responsibilities on those who must first suffer mentally, work their muscles and bones..."
Yi Pin comforted himself over and over again, feeling a bit dazed.
The most important thing now was to seek justice for Xiao Qi. So he turned on the computer and searched for relevant cases.
He prepared his speech and all kinds of evidence. Thinking that he at least had evidence, he felt more at ease and more confident.
He was a bit excited. After all, this was the first case he had taken in his life. Who wouldn't be excited when they finally got to have their first real - life legal battle after studying law for so many years?
For several consecutive days, he had been collecting all kinds of evidence and favorable legal provisions, verifying a lot of information, and was very confident.
For the first time as a lawyer, he walked into the courtroom. Looking at his client smiling faintly, he knew that she had entrusted her life and honor to him. He mustn't make any mistakes.
But in the end, he lost.
In this world, there was no shortage of things going against one's wishes. Clearly, he had tried his best.
But reality always slapped him hard to wake him up.
But this slap was too heavy for Yi Pin, who was on the stage for the first time.
Watching the opposing lawyer speak plausibly while he couldn't find any words to refute, he could only watch helplessly. That feeling was a kind of sadness he had never experienced in his life.
Looking at the disappointed Xiao Qi and the arrogant and smug smile of the opposing lawyer.
Yi Pin locked himself in a room alone and didn't come out. But it seemed that no one would notice because no one really cared where he had gone.
He locked himself in the dark room for a whole day, his eyes dull.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Yi Pin was a bit puzzled. Except for Gu Yang and Shen Yu, he had hardly contacted anyone else during this period.
Sure enough, it was Shen Yu when he opened the door.
Looking at Shen Yu, Yi Pin felt a bit dazed. He felt like a complete failure.
Shen Yu didn't say a word. He just sat beside Yi Pin, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, then handed one to Yi Pin and helped him light it.
The two sat in the dark for a long time, and no one broke the silent atmosphere.
