Chapter 3 Rejection
Luo Li knew she was wrong and quickly fled Ji Si'an's office.Ji Si'an glanced in the direction of the door, took out a wet towel and wiped the shoulder that Director Zhao touched just now.Even through the clothes, she could still feel the warmth of the man.Thinking of a feeling of nausea rushing up her throat, she rubbed harder, and even had the urge to wash the clothes off immediately...

Poor people don't have much time to grieve, and Ji Si'an quickly forced himself to calm down.She tucked her short hair behind her ears and buried her head in the hill-like case file. It wasn't until Luo Li called her for lunch that she was able to straighten her stiff neck.She moved her neck carefully, and the creaking sound from the bones and tendons relieved her stress.

Luo Li watched her movements, and pressed her shoulder with some distress. "Xiao An, you can't work so hard. It's just a job."

Ji Si'an curled his lips but did not speak.Yes, it's just a job, but it's the whole of life for her.This job allows her to afford renting a house, and allows her to have enough food and clothing. Strictly speaking, this job is her food, clothing and parents.

"How about I ask my family to talk to the director and change the team for you." Luo Li said hesitantly.

She is already very grateful for Luo Li to treat her like this, but she also understands that Luo Li doesn't have any connections now, and she also relies on the help of her parents and family. "No, it's not easy for your family to find someone." After she finished speaking, she thought about it and sincerely thanked Luo Li: "Thank you."

Luo Li was a little frustrated, "Thank me for nothing, I can't help you."

"Why can't you help me? If you didn't ask me to eat on time every day, I would definitely be hungry." Ji Si'an got up and took Luo Li's arm.

"You sound like a fool." Luo Li swept away the feeling of powerlessness just now and followed Ji Si'an to the elegantly decorated restaurant downstairs.

At noon, the sun was just outside the window, and the colorful light flowed into the restaurant along the floor-to-ceiling windows.Ji Si'an was still sitting by the window, while Luo Li was afraid of the sun and hid behind the wall.

"I really envy your good skin, but some people don't know how to cherish it at all." Luo Li muttered.

It is expensive here, but the scenery is really good.Ji Si'an took a sip of hot water and watched the lively crowd pass by in front of her. She liked such a lively scene very much.

"What are you thinking about?" Luo Li finished ordering and saw that she was in a daze.

"I didn't think about anything." Ji Si'an took another sip of water. She had a bad stomach and had to drink some hot water before eating. "I'm just thinking about the case I took recently. That girl is so pitiful."

Luo Li swallowed her saliva. She knew about the case that Ji Si'an mentioned. Once she opened the file... the head of the victim was chopped off, and the blood was all over the bed... It's really hard to recall .

Ji Si'an also thought of the situation in the dossier. She knew that Luo Li was afraid of it, so she didn't mention it anymore.Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although she loves food, she is not strong enough to be able to eat while discussing these things.

Ji Si'an continued to drink water in small sips, but his thoughts drifted to a month ago.That was the first homicide case Lawyer He took her to take.The defendant was a 28 or 9-year-old boy with fair skin and gentle looks.Their job is to defend the accused.Lawyer He is still very enthusiastic about his life-saving theory.However, Ji Si'an had obvious repulsion towards this case.

It may be because of her gender, or she has not cultivated to the level of rationality of Lawyer He, in short, she can't hide her disgust every time she sees the defendant.So much so that Lawyer He, who has always been a good man, has quite a few complaints about this....

The restaurant served food very quickly, Ji Si'an withdrew his thoughts and ate the noodles in front of him in small bites.Luo Li often teases that she has never seen a girl who loves noodles so much.Actually... Ji Si'an doesn't like pasta at all, the reason why she eats it every meal is because it is the only food she can afford in this high-end restaurant.Her delicate stomach is the best excuse for her to eat noodles in clear soup every meal.

Luo Li, who didn't know it, often envied her pale and soft, but actually didn't know how much Ji Si'an envied her ability to eat and sleep.

"Why do you have to cut your long hair short? Otherwise, you would just sit in the sun like this, looking completely feminine. This short hair has destroyed such a temperament." Luo Li complained slightly, she was really sorry.Ji Si'an's behavior is like attaching an arm to Venus, which is a big spoiler.

"It's too troublesome to take care of." Ji Si'an slightly lowered his head when he said this.As long as she thought of the fact that a pair of hands had secretly touched her long hair, the feeling of nausea would come to her heart again.

"But I'm used to it, it's beautiful like this, and the small face is good." Luo Li muttered and continued to drink.

But Ji Si'an turned his face out of the window anxiously, still drinking hot water in small sips.The rest time is always very short, and the warmth of the sun is just enough, but they have to go back to work.

A crisp bell sounded, and Ji Si'an looked up from the file as if awakened.Director Zhao frowned and looked at the small and cute bell at the door, and complained: "Why hang this thing up, it's scary."

Ji Si'an got up quickly, "I bought it when it looked good."At the end, she secretly added a sentence, "The voice is very nice."

Director Zhao glanced at her and didn't continue the topic, and handed over the new case file. "Get it done as soon as possible, and use it in court next Wednesday."

Ji Si'an took the file carefully, feeling very tangled in his heart.She didn't know if her reaction was a little extreme.

Since the conflict with Attorney He, she is often alone in the office.That day she looked at the dossier with great concentration, stroking her long hair with both hands down the top of her head. "It's so beautiful."

It was a pair of thick palms, and the temperature of the palms made her scalp numb.She sat there stiffly for a long time, feeling very disgusted in her heart, but she couldn't move her body.

Although nothing happened afterwards, she still felt very uncomfortable, and there was a sense of humiliation mixed with it.So she bought the bunch of little bunny wind chimes so she'd be prepared when someone approached her property.

Are you thinking too much?Ji Si'an looked at the file lying quietly on the desk, then at the wind chime newly hung at the door, and smiled self-deprecatingly, who could she ask this question?stepmother?She might think that she was being self-indulgent.Father?His heart has long been occupied by his younger brother, so he has no time to care about her life.Lori?She is so well protected by her family, she will never encounter such a thing in her life.

Ji Si'an lowered her head, forced herself to withdraw her thoughts, and silently set the alarm clock. There was still so much work to be done. She had to hurry up and get off work before this time no matter what, otherwise she would really have to live in the unit if she couldn't catch the last bus.Thinking of this, she shivered involuntarily.

It was exactly 21:21 when the alarm clock rang, and Ji Si'an turned off the computer, grabbed the backpack and skillfully turned off the lights and locked the door.She trotted to the entrance of the subway station, and the people fighting and cooperating in twos and threes reassured her a little, it was not too late. At 20:[-], she got on the subway on time, rumbling and shaking towards home.Ji Si'an leaned tiredly on the back of the chair, clinging to the sideboard of the seat like a cramp.The dark tunnel of the subway reminded her of that case again.
