Chapter 984 Have You Seen Your Heart Clearly?
Gu Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a trace of scrutiny on his face, he slowly lay down on the sofa.
A pair of sharp eagle eyes, seemingly indifferent, but actually looking at Mo Shaochen fiercely.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Mo Shaochen frowned slightly.
"Shaochen, have you let Xiaochu go?" Gu Beichen exclaimed.
Mo Shaochen was not surprised to be seen through at a glance.
"It's a thing of the past, isn't it?" Mo Shaochen asked back.
"What about Xiaoyue's past?" Gu Beichen asked again, "You don't mind, even, if something happens in the future, you won't magnify the wrong past?"
Mo Shaochen shook his head gently, without thinking too much.
"Shaochen, Xiaoyue can't afford to fail again..." Gu Beichen said earnestly, "Mo'er can't face her falling and sinking again!"
It was a warning, a reminder, revealing the weirdness under the solemnity.
"Who doesn't have a past?" Mo Shaochen asked back, "I had someone in my heart in the past, would she mind?"
Gu Beichen didn't say anything, just waiting for Mo Shaochen to speak.
Mo Shaochen sat down on the chair, tilted his head slightly, looked at the morning light pouring in from the window, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Beichen, I participated in Xiaoyue's experience..."
He curled his lips slightly, "From her being just a small lawyer, to her being in jail, to her taking the international exam and coming back... Sometimes I wonder, am I just paying attention to her, or am I feeling sorry for such a person?"
"Then what?" Gu Beichen said indifferently, and there was a deep feeling in his voice.
Mo Shaochen lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, then turned his eyes back to look at Gu Beichen, "Many things start from small things...More often, they are inadvertently, without your knowledge, and have slowly infiltrated."
Gu Beichen slightly frowned his sword eyebrows.
"Such subtle penetration is like strands of hair..."
Mo Shaochen lowered his eyes, his voice deep, "You didn't pay attention at first, until you felt uncomfortable, you found that it was already in your heart, tangled into a mess that you couldn't tell..."
Gu Beichen also lowered his eyes, and his slender fingers tapped on his crossed legs...
Lawyers are too calm, and most of the time, they need to analyze a lot of things.
So much so that after being confused about some things, they can always find clues under the traces.
Gu Beichen actually understands the feeling that Shaochen said...
Because, wasn't he like this at the beginning? !
"Beichen," Mo Shaochen raised his eyes, his face didn't show too much emotion, but his eyes were particularly serious, "During the time when Xiaoyue was abroad, I actually saw her in court more than once."
"Hmm?" Gu Beichen raised his eyes in confusion.
"I've been there many times..." Mo Shaochen said with a smile, "It was unconscious at first, and then it was subconscious... I went there for no reason, and then I looked at her from a distance."
Gu Beichen's eyes flashed with surprise.
"At first, I just felt that I was worried..." Mo Shaochen laughed self-deprecatingly, "But later, I found that I started to worry!"
"Worried?" Gu Beichen exclaimed softly.
Mo Shaochen nodded, "I'm worried that she will find me, worried that she will think I sympathize with her... I'm more worried that if you miss some things, you will really go against your own way."
A faint sadness overflowed and enveloped Mo Shaochen.
Since he was a child, he lived under the care of others. Even the family of his mother's closest sister, even the family of his aunt and uncle, treated him as if they were his own children...
But people are like this. No matter how good they are, they are not as casual as their own family.
With Beichen, his aura will always affect others...
Whether it is him or Zixiao, because they are of similar age, who doesn't work extra hard because of Beichen's brilliance? !
I chose to be a lawyer because of the lawsuit between my father and mother...
I chose criminal defense because I didn't want more injustices, and I didn't want to continue to suffer injustice for the sake of interests.
His power alone is small, but he has his persistence.
And this persistence has created his indifferent character. He wants to be a bystander in everything...
I am afraid of myself, sinking into it, and losing my judgment.
But often, there is always such a thing, or a person, that you can't calm down just because you want to.
Eating supper together at night, watching her carefree...
In prison, watching her depressed to the point of collapse...
In California, watching her trying to stand up, serious and diligent...
In court, she was reborn from Nirvana...
Each one seems to be separate, but overlapping... He couldn't tell them apart a long time ago.
When he could tell them apart, he was afraid.
He was afraid that if he took the initiative, she would have random thoughts... He was also afraid that she, who was reborn from the ashes, would no longer have the thoughts of a little girl in the past.
Fortunately...
She still wanted to stand by his side, so what was there to be afraid of? !
Gu Beichen looked at the tangle that Mo Shaochen couldn't hide on his face, but in the end, he showed a trace of joy...
His sharp eyes almost saw through Mo Shaochen's thoughts, and he opened his thin lips and said slowly: "At the beginning, you stopped going to Xiaochu because of me..." He met Mo Shaochen's eyes, "Then Shaochen, will you stop going to Xiaoyue too?"
Mo Shaochen was stunned, "Beichen, no one can compare to you..."
Gu Beichen's dark eyes gradually became deeper, "What if there is such a person?"
Mo Shaochen looked at Gu Beichen in confusion, then smiled and shook his head, "How can there be another you?" He paused, "Besides, I don't want to give up."
How many times in life can one's heart be moved?
Because of Beichen's retreat, there will never be another such situation...
...
"I said, since I arrived in London, I either saw you absent-minded or in a daze..." Jian Mo held a cup of coffee in her hand and sniffed, looking like she hadn't slept well.
Li Xiaoyue retracted her gaze outside the window, "It's not okay to pretend to be sad and depressed?!"
"Okay, okay!" Jian Mo drank a sip of coffee to refresh herself, "But what happened when you went to Ye Chenyu?" As she said that, she raised her eyebrows and asked with a bright look in her eyes, "Hey, did he ask you if you promised to be with him?"
Li Xiaoyue frowned and looked at Jian Mo.
Jian Mo shrugged, "Chu Ran said that Ye Chenyu joked with them and asked you to be with him..."
Li Xiaoyue's eyebrows tightened even more... It was indeed a joke!
"I did!" Li Xiaoyue answered somewhat angrily.
Jian Mo immediately put down the coffee cup and leaned forward, "How do you answer?"
Li Xiaoyue held a fork in her hand and poked the cake on the plate. After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Ye Chenyu is very good, but he is not my end..."
Li Xiaoyue looked up at Jian Mo, "Girl, is my answer too much?"
Li Xiaoyue pulled the corner of her mouth in self-mockery and looked out the window again, "Fortunately... he was joking!"
