When she got home, Li Tangyan touched her forehead with her hands behind her back and smiled wryly, as if the warmth of her forehead still lingered there.
At the same time, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
When Li Tangyan came to her senses, she took out her phone and saw that it was a group chat with three people. Yao Qing looked at the photo of Wen Zhaonian that she had sent earlier in the spirit of sharing happiness as if she were a weasel in a melon field.
While flooding half the screen with emojis, their wolfish ambitions were laid bare.
Please call me Fairy Yao Qing: [Do you have a picture of your abs? Like an eight-pack. [fly rubbing hands.jpg]]
Upon seeing this, Li Tangyan almost laughed out of anger.
The things that even the students from University A couldn't photograph by the time they graduated, Yao Qing actually expected from her, someone who spent a month going from a passerby to an online friend.
Li Tangyan quickly typed on the screen, just about to send something, when another message popped up on the screen, from another person in the group.
Xu Miaomiao: [Remember to go for your follow-up appointment next month.]
Unlike Yao Qing's lively personality, Xu Miaomiao's words clearly carried a queen-like aura that matched her character.
Li Tangyan was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face faded without her noticing.
She quickly deleted the original words in the input field, and after careful consideration, sent a reply with only three words.
【Okay.】
After sending the message, she put away her phone, completely forgetting all her previous plans.
After washing up, she collapsed onto the bed, staring unblinkingly at the ceiling.
I slept soundly until my eyelids finally closed, and then I had no dreams all night.
The next day, when Li Tangyan arrived at the law firm, Wen Zhaonian had not yet arrived.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, someone patted my left shoulder from behind.
Li Tangyan turned around and saw Zheng Chuanyi with shallow dimples and a knowing look on his face: "He went out and hasn't come back yet."
After saying that, Zheng Chuan leaned down mysteriously and whispered in her ear, "A case just finished recently, and we're planning to go out for a relaxing meal tomorrow. Count me in?"
Li Tangyan's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree when she suddenly seemed to remember something.
He immediately deflated: "Tomorrow? I have to go to a meeting at the newspaper office, so it might not be over so quickly."
Tomorrow's meeting is very important, and Li Tangyan cannot be absent.
Li Tangyan pursed her lips, and just as she was hesitating, she heard a cry of pain.
Looking back, she saw Zheng Chuanyi being pulled back by the back of her collar by Wen Zhaonian, who had returned at some point.
Wen Zhaonian's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was slightly deep: "You have no proper posture."
"Why didn't you say that before? I think you're just..." Zheng Chuanyi hadn't finished speaking when he felt a gaze fall on him.
Like a fine, razor-thin knife, capable of killing silently.
"What is it?" Li Tangyan tilted her head from the side.
Just as he was about to lean closer to listen carefully, Wen Zhaonian grabbed him with his other hand, making it look from a distance as if he were carrying two little chicks.
Wen Zhaonian looked over again, his gaze carrying a warning.
This time, Zheng Chuan didn't continue. He spread his hands and shrugged: "Fine, I'll go practice my military posture then."

After leaving the law firm, the two headed straight for Zhou's Group, but their car broke down halfway there, so they decided to take a bus instead.
Despite the summer heat, the train carriages were still packed with people even after the peak hours.
The air was filled with various smells mixed with the heat, making it somewhat unpleasant to smell in the enclosed space.
Binhai Station has arrived. Passengers who wish to disembark, please take your luggage and belongings and disembark in an orderly manner.
As the mechanical female voice rang out, the crowded carriage began to stir with various urging voices.
Caught in the middle and unable to move, Li Tangyan felt like a piece of driftwood in a desolate sea, being pushed by the surging waves to an unknown direction.
Just when she thought she was going to be half-clamped and squeezed off the bus, she suddenly felt a tightness around her wrist.
The next second, as she broke free from the crowded throng, she was thrown headfirst into someone's arms by inertia.
In an instant, the noise around me was replaced by the powerful sound of my heartbeat.
The unpleasant smell in the carriage was replaced by the pleasant scent emanating from Wen Zhaonian, which had a calming and hypnotic effect, easing the initial panic in no time.
Time seemed to have been frozen in time, leading Li Tangyan to believe that it would last forever.
When the train doors closed again, the once crowded carriage became much emptier after a group of people got off, and sunlight streamed in, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Wen Zhaonian lowered his head slightly and met a pair of wet eyes.
Li Tangyan is very sensitive to heat, so she specially changed into a chiffon dress today. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and at first glance, people who didn't know her might think she had been bullied by someone.
Seeing this, Wen Zhaonian's eyes darkened, and after a moment he moved a step to the side without making a sound.
Soon, the light reflected from the opposite side was hidden behind them, casting long shadows on the ground.
As he released her hand, he said in a slightly deep voice, "Hold on tight to the handrail and stay put."
Upon hearing this, Li Tangyan snapped out of her daze and whispered "oh," her face still flushed, whether from the heat or something else was unclear.
Then, she took a step back to slightly increase the distance between them.
However, before she could even get a firm grip on the handrail, the bus, which had been moving steadily, suddenly braked sharply.
Due to inertia, before she could even come to her senses, Li Tangyan had already fallen forward.
She gasped in surprise, and as she closed her eyes, she grabbed something that felt cool and silky to the touch.
At the same time, the tires screeched against the ground.
What followed was a reprimand of the person who had almost caused a minor accident by running a red light, and quiet discussions among the passengers who were still shaken.
Meanwhile, the two people who had fallen into an eerie silence, like outcasts, were completely oblivious to this, or rather, had no time to care.
Li Tangyan kept one hand clinging to Wen Zhaonian's arm, which was slightly bent as he gripped the upper arc, while the other hand tightly pulled down his tie, and they remained silent.
She raised her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a clear jawline.
Then, my gaze moved upwards, and I saw that her long, curled eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings as the sunlight shone in when the car turned the corner.
Then she lowered her head, obscuring the thoughts in her eyes.
His well-defined knuckles gripped the curved surface above, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged as he exerted force.
Despite the car's bumpy ride, Wen Zhaonian remained as steady as a stone statue.
If there's anything not so good about him, it's probably that he had to bend down slightly because of the way he was pulling his tie.
Their faces were very close, so close that it was as if they could feel the warmth of each breath on their faces.
