The Court c3

Chapter 3

As the days naturally passed by like a running stream, sparsely flowing past Wei Cai’s 30 years old spring.

Since the last time both of them ate together, these few weeks, Li Jia De appearing in his life constantly seems to become a norm.

Almost every Friday after work, he will drive to the front of the procuratorate to fetch up Wei Cai.

Next is eating together and watching a movie; playing these poor urban people’s entertainment.

In fact, Wei Cai very often finds it strange about this man who appeared out of nowhere.

“Jing Zhong Ke2 ,please speak”

“O, is it Ah De?” Wei Cai smiled involuntarily.

Because Li Jia De always complains his own name is difficult to say, Wei Cai granted his wish and gave him a nickname from then on.

But——

“Cai Cai, are you getting off soon? I’m on my way. I’ll reach your office in about ten minutes so you faster come down.”

Didn’t know when, Li Jia De gave him a very strange nickname. Even with repeated protests on his nickname, Li Jia De refused to change it and insisted on this nickname which caused Wei Cai’s hairs to stand when being called.

“Oii, didn’t I ask you not to call me like that?” This man really doesn't listen.

“Hehehe…” Li Jia De’s greatest skill is using a kind of smirk that does not match to his age and status to dodge Wei Cai; leaving him to smile hopelessly.

“Okay, okay. I’ll come down now.” Knowing that arguing with him is futile, Wei Cai sighed in defeat and put down the phone.

“Section Chief, you recently got a girlfriend?”

Just after he put down the phone, Lao Ba with a grin on his face walked over mysteriously.

“Seeing you also leaving in a hurry these past Fridays, got a date ah?”

“I’m leaving first la.” Raised and waved his hand, he threw the disappointed face in the office into the dust.

Smiling all the way down the elevator, he saw a red sport car parked far away on the street across the procuratorate.

“Eh, Young Master bought a new car la?” Knocking on the window, Wei Cai smiled at Li Jia De inside the car.

Following Li Jia De’s BMW being crushed by Wei Cai, he had been driving the car borrowed from a friend. But today, this car in front of him has a logo of a wild boar that Wei Cai had never seen him drive before.

“Couldn’t help it. The old man has too many ways la—— he heard that my car was crashed and specially had people pick for me.” Li Jia De, while helping him opened the car door, put on a face of regret and said.

Wei Cai showed a bit of fear on his face.

“Hey, take it as I didn’t hear it ah!” So not reporting out of obligation is not my matter ah—–Wei Cai made up the sentence in his heart.

“Ah, where are we going today ah?” Having sat in the car, Wei Cai asked.

“First we’ll eat dinner. After that, we’ll go to Qi Shi Lu3 —— the music there is not bad. How is it?”

Firmly steering the wheel to that direction, Li Jia De turned his head to Wei Cai and asked.

Wei Cai nodded his head and leaned his head against the headrest—— although the office work is relatively easy, but because it involves a lot of auditing of data, so the work is still heavy—— Seeing audit reports for the whole day, Wei Cai is really tired.

Seeing Wei Cai closed his eyes to rest, Li Jia De smiled gently and didn’t speak anymore.

“The food here is not bad right?” Seeing Wei Cai using the napkin to wipe his mouth, Li Jia De asked with a look of concern.

Wei Cai laughed “Pretty good. But why are you so nervous? The dishes are not done by you.”

Li Jia De laughed “Not cooked by me, but the food is what I picked. If it’s not accepted by the section chief Buddha’s dharma eyes4 ….”

Li Jia De stopped for a moment before continuing “Let’s come out again next time. How about it?”

——

Li Jia De finally spoke: “Cai Cai”

With ferocious expression and tones, Li Jia De looked like a little girl with awkward expression.

“What——”

…...

“Oh—this place’s arrangement is unique ah”

A lady in the group wearing a very short colourful leather skirt looked at Li Jia De sitting at the side with a surprised look on her face.

“Is Xiao Juan ah?” Compared to the female’s enthusiasm, Li Jia De’s attitude seemed a bit helpless.

“Hi, Qiao, Ah Qiang, Lee…” saying hello to several other men, the group of people also very naturally sat beside both of them at the table.

“And this is ——“the man who is called Jiao, looking like the leader, pointed to Wei Cai.

——

“Ah, my friend, Wei Cai—— Jiao” Li Jia De pointed at the two men which can count as being introduced.

Jiao smiled crookedly “Seeing your branded and unique Lamborghini5, I knew that you are here——”

Li Jia De smoothed things over at the side, “Cai——”

Wei Cai was shocked by him. He came towards Wei Cai’s side and sat down on the stool next to Wei Cai.

“Whiskey.” Calling the bartender to bring the drink, he suddenly turned his face. His bottomless black eyes fixed on Wei Cai’s face.

Wei Cai was a bit scared by his stare but he spoke: “Ah De, isn’t this your that right——?”

Before Li Jia De replied to his odd sentence, Jiao’s hand was already on the side of Wei Cai’s face “Have the look of seriousness and exciting face——”

“What are you doing?” Wei Cai and Li Jia De shouted at the same time.

Disgusting—— weird——

Li Jia De seemed to have received a serious blow on himself, mumbled to himself, “You know ah——”

“Hey—— can you not have such an expression! I’m not a kindergarten child, I used to do the procuratorial supervision——what do I not understand——”

Amused by Li Jia De’s expression, Wei Cai felt strange because saying this topic felt a bit embarrassing.

“Yeah ah—— last time on night patrol, I was also startled by a strange noise——“As though it is unbearable to recall, Li Jia De shook his head, because Li Jia De was telling his inexperience princess this funny matter, Wei Cai laughed.

“Next time, let’s go on an outing ba” Arrived at the carpark, Li Jia De got into the driver seat and suddenly blurted out.

He didn’t know why, he felt Li Jia De’s attitude is a bit strange today—— but he was too embarrassed to interfere in his friend’s matters.

“Wei6——” His voice was drowsy.

Li Jia De pretended to be angry and said “Didn’t we say everything last week—— You’ve forgotten?”

“O——” prolonging his sound, Wei Cai said in his heart, no wonder he didn’t call yesterday—— still thought he had some matters to attend to, “Then I’ll be down soon”

Hanging up the phone, he hurriedly freshened his look. He ran down the dormitory and saw a lot of curious eyes staring at the bright car at the courtyard.

Wei Cai got on the car watching the obviously disappointed eyes of the crowd ——they probably thought Li Jia De is here to pick up a girl? Wei Cai smiled at the thought.

“Well, for you.” A pack of warm breakfast was handed over. “I know you certainly haven’t woken up so I bought it for you.”

Lifting the hot buns and eating a mouthful, Wei Cai was a little touched “If in the future, that girl was to marry you, she will be very happy, having such a thoughtful husband.”

“Yeah——” Li Jia De prolonged his voice and threw a nasty look at Wei Cai. It was a hesitant look.

The car sped all the way on the road. Both of them tried to make a conversation. The car atmosphere become relaxing and pleasant.

“You know—— you’re famous in our company. A lot of girls are asking me to introduce you to them.” Wei Cai changed the topic.

“Then what was your answer?” Li Jia De asked with a little interest.

“Wei Cai was a little pissed with him, “I know you’re very popular with women la, Big lawyer!”

Li Jia De quickly put on a ‘Xiao Sheng Zhi Cuo, Xiao Sheng Huang Kong’.7

——

Li Jia De still did not give up “You say, how will it be sentenced?”

Unable to put up with it any longer, Wei Cai replied

——

“Then should we make a bet?”

“What are we betting?” Wei Cai opened his eyes but found that their faces are only a few centimetres away and he quickly pulled back his head.

“If it is imprisonment sentence——”

“Treat me to ten movies!”

“I’ll treat you to ten meals.”

Ten times of dates—— Felt himself laughed oneself to death, Li Jia De replied quickly.

“Okay!” With his years of work experience, Wei Cai still feels his chances of winning are relatively high.

“Then let’s meet at court la——”

Finally—— the fourth day after the outing, the two met again.

Although there is personal relationship, but when handling cases at the court, communication is still branch of discipline—— both of them have this unspoken understanding.

However, when both of them are sitting inside the court’s waiting room, Li Jia De used the chance to secretly leaned over when the assistant is not paying attention and said “You look handsome wearing a uniform o”

“Now the trial will start——”

The same old identity background make one want to yawn—— Wei Cai could not helped but glanced at Zhu Jian8 at his side.

That young lady also had a lazy-look while playing with the pen. He looked at Li Jia De’s assistant at the opposite side seriously jotting notes down (using a notebook).

The sound of reading the indictment aloud, listening to his own voice echoed inside the high and wide hall, feeling Li Jia De at the opposite side kept looking at him, Wei Cai felt his mind could scarcely concentrated.

Confused, Wei Cai is not in the stage of his investigation state but continued to suffer the cannot-be-lazy debate process.

Both of them already knew the sentences that the judges will give, therefore there are no intense debate at the end speech.

Like one of the serious side of the drama

I’m really old

At three in the afternoon, already exhausted Wei Cai looked at the still sparkling Li Jia De. Inevitably in his heart, he sighed darkly.
