I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 90
byChapter 90 Fireworks are ordinary
Two days later, the HR department of Jingyi Law Firm received a resignation application, and the applicant was Gu Yue.
The handwriting on the application form was neat and elegant. In the reason column, only the four words “personal reasons” were filled in. It was clean and neat, as if some kind of disconnection had been cut off in a hurry.
The HR director knocked on the door of Xie Shuhan’s office with this application, and said with some consideration in his tone: “Xie Lu, Gu Yue submitted his resignation application. Look…”
At that time, Xie Shuhan was looking down at a file. The pen held in his fingertips paused on the page, and the ink handwriting blurred into a tiny dot.
He raised his eyes, his eyes calm and calm, as if he heard an ordinary little thing. His thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was gentle but distant: “I know, let’s follow the procedure.”
The HR director was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t expect such a reaction.
After all, Gu Yue has always been Xie Shuhan’s right-hand assistant, and most discerning people in the law firm can see what he is thinking.
She hesitated and asked again: “Do you want to… talk to her? After all, she is a very good lawyer.”
Xie Shuhan put down the pen, and the corners of his lips curved, but there was no smile: “No need, it’s just a personal choice.”
His tone was too indifferent, so indifferent that it made people feel that Gu Yue’s departure or stay, to him, was just a wisp of wind blowing through the window, without causing even a ripple.
The HR manager understood, nodded, turned around, closed the door and left.
Silence returned to the office. Xie Shuhan looked at the birds passing by outside the window, his eyes darkening.
The day Gu Yue left, the law firm was very quiet. She didn’t say goodbye to anyone, but just walked out of the revolving door quietly.
The sun fell on her body, casting a long shadow that was so thin that it looked like it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
After she left, everything seemed to be back on track.
Xie Shuhan’s team quickly added new members, and the office was still busy in an orderly manner. Those obscure observations and discussions were gradually diluted by time and dissipated in the day-to-day work.
The days seemed to have been pressed on the fast forward button. Spring passed, autumn came, cold came and summer came. In a blink of an eye, a year passed.
During this year, Xie Shuhan and Lu Jin’s lives were peaceful and stable.
There are no vigorous twists and turns, only the company of the steady flow.
On the dining table in the morning, there is always hot coffee and sandwiches made by Lu Jin himself;
In the study room late at night, when Xie Shuhan was working at his desk, he always had a glass of warm milk at hand;
On weekend afternoons, they would sit on the sofa and watch an old movie. Lu Jin’s head rested on Xie Shuhan’s lap, and his silver hair tickled his chin. The sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the shadows of the two of them very long.
In the late autumn of this year, good news came to the Lu family. Lu Jin’s cousin was pregnant with a son.
The news came from Ms. Tan herself, and the voice on the other end of the phone could not conceal her joy.
Lu Jin leaned on the bed, holding Xie Shuhan’s waist in one hand and holding the mobile phone in the other. As he listened, the smile on his lips couldn’t stop spreading, and even the coldness in his eyes turned into warmth.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly hugged Xie Shuhan into his arms, with such force that it felt like he was going to rub the person into his bones. There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice: “Hanhan! My cousin has given birth! It’s a son! His name is Lu Yize!”
Xie Shuhan was choked by him and laughed out loud. He raised his hand and patted his back. He said helplessly and indulgently: “Relax, you can’t breathe anymore.”
Lu Jin then loosened his arms, but still refused to let go. His chin rested on Xie Shuhan’s neck, his warm breath swept over the delicate skin, with a bit of childish pride: “You don’t know, my mother just said on the phone that the little guy is very handsome, and his eyebrows and eyebrows are just like my cousin when he was young.”
Xie Shuhan raised his hand and gently combed his soft silver hair with his fingertips. His voice was as gentle as if it had been soaked in water: “That’s good.”
“It’s more than good.” Lu Jin rubbed the side of his neck, with a cunning light in his eyes, and his tone was full of longing, “When little Yize grows up and is able to run, jump and have the ability, I will throw him to the company.
At that time, we will travel around the world. Haven’t you always wanted to go to Iceland to see the aurora?There are also the starry skies of New Zealand, the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland, the pyramids of Egypt that you mentioned… We will go to them all without leaving any place.”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his arms holding Xie Shuhan tightened, as if he had seen the scene of the two standing side by side under the aurora, and the light in his eyes was brighter than the stars.
“We can go to Northern Europe first, rent a cabin, and see the snow-capped mountains every morning when we wake up, and then go to the Aegean Sea, sit on the beach and watch the sunset, eat your favorite paella, and, by the way, go to Antarctica to see penguins…”
Xie Shuhan leaned in his arms, listening to him chattering about planning for the future, and the smile on his lips was so gentle that he could drown.
He didn’t interrupt him, just listened quietly, occasionally saying “ok” in a voice as light as a feather.
The night outside the window is getting darker, and the moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains.
The warm light exudes a soft halo, coating the figures of the two embracing with a layer of gold.
Lu Jin’s voice gradually became lower, with a hint of tiredness, but he still kept talking: “When we get old, we will find a place with beautiful scenery, build a small house, raise a cat and a dog…”
Xie Shuhan raised his hand and gently covered his mouth, his eyes full of smiles: “Are you tired? Go to sleep.”
Lu Jin blinked, held his wrist, put it to his lips and kissed it gently. The cunning in his eyes turned into thick love: “I want to hold him to sleep.”
Xie Shuhan laughed helplessly, letting him hold her, and slowly fell on the soft bed.
Lu Jin buried his head in the crook of his neck, and his breathing gradually became long and steady, with a warm breath.
Xie Shuhan closed his eyes, and his heart seemed to be filled with something, warm and solid.
The moonlight outside the window is as gentle as a dream that never ends.
As the days passed, Lu Yize turned one hundred days and one year old, and he became more and more lovable.
Unlike other children who love to cry and make noise, Lu Yize has been as quiet as an adult since he was a child.
He won’t cry when he’s hungry, he’ll just look at you quietly with his big black eyes open;
He doesn’t show off when he’s sleepy, he just yawns, leans obediently into the nanny’s arms, and falls asleep quickly.
Lu Jin liked this little nephew very much. He would go to his cousin’s house every now and then and give the little guy a hug every time he went.
On this weekend, the sun was just right. Lu Jin held Lu Yize, who had just learned to sit, and sat on the carpet in the living room. He gently tapped the little guy’s chubby cheeks with his fingers and “instilled” his thoughts in a serious manner.
“Ozawa,” he lowered his voice, as if he was telling a big secret, “you have to grow up quickly.”
Lu Yize opened his eyes like black grapes and looked at him quietly, his small mouth pursed, as if he was listening very seriously.
Seeing this, Lu Jin got even more excited and poked his little face again, his tone full of expectation: “Look, if you take one more mouthful of milk, you will gain an extra pound of meat. If you gain an extra pound of meat, you will grow up one day earlier. When you grow up, then…”
He paused, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and leaned closer to the little guy’s ear, lowering his voice: “Then, I can take you, Uncle Xie, to travel around the world.”
“You don’t know, thank your uncle, he really likes Aurora…”
The sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the carpet, making it warm.
Lu Jin was talking nonchalantly, and Lu Yize listened quietly, his little head tilting occasionally, as if he really understood what he said.
The sycamore leaves outside the window rustled, and the wind carried the sweet scent of autumn.
The years are quiet and the fireworks are ordinary. This is probably what it looks like.
