The Court Chapter 2
OMG, how could I be so unlucky!
Wei Cai walked angrily on a pedestrian street with no people. His heart burning with fire. It felt like he was about to emit smoke from being angry.
He thought by attending the party, he will get some fresh air, how come he would faced such matters?
Being treated as a thief was not enough, but to go as far as ……. in the presence of the future competitor and had embarrassed himself.
I guessed I had to walk all the way home ba?
Suddenly, he heard from behind seems to be a car engine’s sound——
“Hey, hop on. I’ll give you a ride.”
Wei Cai felt surprised for a moment. He watched attentively, yet that person was the one he didn’t wanted to see at this moment, Li Jia De——
How can he be here? The party has not yet finished.
Li Jia De opened the car’s door. Seeing Wei Cai still standing there feeling hesitant, he added: “Do not dawdle la! You are not a girl, I cannot gain anything.”
Seeing his doubts, Li Jia De laughed. “Luo Na is an old friend of mine, those she has offended I will be responsible to give an apology.”
“Luo Na throwing a tantrum that is not sensible and had offended people yet she herself didn’t know —— you don’t need to take it personally!” Seeing Wei Cai still had anger written over his face, Li Jia De quickly added.
Wei Cai shrugged, didn’t know what to say. Frankly speaking, he wished deep in his heart to not have any contact with Li Jia De.
Knowing that this was just a wishful thinking, Wei Cai sighed in his heart secretly. He turned his head and looked at Li Jia De’s side profile. He waved his hand and said “Forget it, forget it. I won’t sulk with that Miss.”
“Have you thought about my offer yet?” Li Jia De that concentrated on driving asked.
“Sue her!”
Seeing Wei Cai’s puzzled look, Li Jia De smiled and said “Luo Na that girl, it’s about time to give her a little lesson.”
“You don’t want then there is no other way.” Seeing Wei Cai had decided to not take any means resorting to litigation, Li Jia De also didn’t want to force him. He later said “Then, where do you want to go to have a meal?”
“Ah, what meal?” Wei Cai found himself unable to pick up on this man’s way of thinking.
What a joke! Trying to eat together with him, isn’t that like digging a trap and jumping into it?
“Really do not want to eat?” Li Jia De looked a bit surprised that there are people who willing to give up a free meal. He tilted his head and looked at Wei Cai strangely.
“There’s no need. Look, you can send me to **** ” By saying the road close to the dormitory, Wei Cai absolutely will not let him knew that he lived at the Procuratorate dormitory.
“Hmm.” While responding in a daze, Wei Cai felt his face had gone a little red —— obviously it will be exposed sooner or later……
However, die later is better than die early ba?
It was very easy to get along well among men——although Wei Cai not a man with many words, but towards Li Jia De who will answered what was asked, both of them seem to talk a lot. When it was time to alight, the awkward situation between them had almost disappeared.
Thinking that both of them didn’t need to meet each other, the troubles which were gone just now, came back to his chest again.
Shrugging his shoulder, Wei Cai walked towards the direction of the dormitory. The day was moving faster than Wei Cai thought.
Three days after the beginning of unfortunate event——
“Xiao Wei, come, stop for a while, I want to introduce you to someone.”
Li Jia De apparently saw him. A surprised look was shown over his eyes, but then again it was overshadowed by the competent professional look.
“I didn’t expect this!” Li Jia De came over and said softly beside Wei Cai. His face shows a little playful look.
Looking at him, Wei Cai was a bit grateful for not embarrassing him. He just smiled, and did not answer.
“The case this time, the city is very concerned. Although, it was a breach of discipline but I still wish both parties to respect each other. I hope at court, there won’t be any uncontrollable situation happen”
Judge Wu spoke first as they sat down.
……
Within the two hours, it was basically just Judge Wu conveying ‘the supervisor instruction’. Wei Cai and Li Jia De only commented their thoughts at some small details and occasionally got into a little dispute. The atmosphere felt harmonious and warm.
“Then the discussion is set.”
“I did not expect that you are a prosecutor" After two of them went out, Li Jia De sat next to Wei Cai, asked with a smile.
Nodded his head helplessly, Wei Cai felt the most annoying moment finally arrived —— next he probably be asking why I went there, after that obviously he is in the law career yet why do not resist the unreasonable search—— anyway it’s all annoying questions, he said in his heart.
A little grateful that he did not asked some questions that he found difficult to answer, Wei Cai glanced at him and said “Anyway the one paying is the organization, we should go and have a nice meal ba!”
“The environment here is quite good!”
“I do not know what are the dishes here.”
“That time you go to Yang Tian is to see pretty ladies?”
“PU—”4Wei Cai who was drinking tea almost spurted a mouthful of tea at Li Jia De’s face. While apologizing and wiping the tea stains on the other person, he asked “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Beckoned the waitress to order the dishes, Li Jia De’s head got closer, a face with a bad smile “Do not pretend! Who doesn’t know Yang Tian have a lot of pretty ladies. Otherwise why you will go to a place so far without knowing anyone?”
“Wei Cai, how old are you this year ah?” Li Jia De did not pushed on, suddenly changed the topic.
“Just reached the age of 30, why?”
He immediately do a quick look of Wei Cai —— even though Wei Cai looks are ordinary, but it have a clean temperament. Only occasionally can be seen small details on his face that shows he is already a mature male—— but in actual fact it cannot be seen that Wei Cai is older than him by 3 years.
“The first time I saw you, I thought you are a college student.” With an awe expression on his face, he shook his head and stop measuring with his eyes.
“For men, this is not a compliment ah!” Wei Cai shook his head, laughed a little helplessly.
The food is served at this point. The topic was interrupted as both of them picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. It was the moment silent.
“30 years old and not married yet?” As he ate a little and stopped for a second, Li Jia De put down his cutlery, casually asked.
“How can there be any why—— I stand with you, all the women will run to your side.”
“We settle the bills ba.” Li Jia De said with consideration as he saw Wei Cai was looking at the clock.
Entering the garage, Li Jia De drove out his BMW4, with his head out of the window, he waved at Wei Cai “Next time I treat you to eat.”
Waiting for the elevator, Wei Cai suddenly remembered that the amount of him laughing today is enough to top the amount of last week.
Crap! This month salary is gone.
“I still owe you a meal last time, you treat me to another meal to treat it as the car repair fees.”
“How is that possible?” Wei Cai knew original BMW repairs fees was definitely not cheap, what nerve let him eat for such a loss.
“Or please be mercy the next time on court?” Half-joking tone, Li Jia De approached and threw his hand over Wei Cai shoulder.
After finding a place to park the crashed BMW, both of them hopped on Wei Cai’s car.
Drove around looking for a place to eat, but Li Jia De was either picky on the poor environment, or that restaurant food was no good.
Seeing that past half an hour was gone, Wei Cai secretly felt his tummy was a bit hungry, but Li Jia De was still disliking this and that.
“Oii, where exactly do you want to go and eat?”
Finally, Wei Cai could not withstand any longer, parked the car at the side of the road. He was somewhat snappy when he asked Li Jia De.
“Hey, do you live alone in the dormitory?” yet Li Jia De displayed a happy look on his face, asked in a tone of excitement.
“Yes ah.” A little confused the purpose of this question, Wei Cai nodded his head.
“Then I want to eat the food you cook.” Saying that had left Wei Cai in utter surprise, yet Li Jia De showed a natural expression.
“What?” Although he knew how to cook some dishes, but not to eat at a hotel yet chose to eat his home-cooked bachelor meals, Li Jia De’s choice was really unbelievable.
Seeing that Wei Cai didn’t reject, Li Jia De became more excited “Good? I want to eat braised prawn, also braised eggplant, and……” Listening to him listing all the requested food, Wei Cai felt his stomach got hungrier than before.
“No other way, today is yours to decide.” Since the offender is himself, Wei Cai had no choice but to agree.
“En5! Delicious!” Li Jia De revealed the childish smile again.
The two men who were miserably hungry ate the result of their hard work.
The small room atmosphere became warm and soft.
It had always been Wei Cai eating his own cooking alone. When he experienced this atmosphere of happiness, he secretly sighed deep in his heart.
