You’ve Been Fired!

Chapter 82:

It's just that Ji Lin didn't have time to find himself, so Lin Hui found the door.

This time, he did not leave a message or phone call to Bai Duanduan, but directly waited at the door of the Bai Duanduan community, wearing a neat suit. When Bai Duanduan saw him, he was smoking a cigarette with his back in the twilight. Bai Duanduan saw only his outline from a distance. He looked like an ordinary frustrated middle-aged man. At this time, the cold night wind blew his hair on his forehead, and he shrank slightly.

Although Ji Lin can't help but imply Lin Hui's old age in words, Bai Duanduan has always had no real feelings. In her heart, Lin Hui is still the representative of young and powerful. He is always full of spirit when he appears in any court. Highly, it was the first time at this moment. Bai Duanduan suddenly realized that the spirited teacher Lin seemed really old.

Lin Hui's expression was still a little haggard, he turned around, saw Bai Duanduan, put out his cigarette, coughed twice, and his voice was a little dry and dumb: "Duan Duan, I..."

As if afraid that Bai Duanduan would not pay attention to herself, Lin Hui almost quickly walked to Bai Duanduan and blocked her way forward.

His appearance was a little humble and a little embarrassed, which made Bai Duanduan look a little sad. In fact, Lin Hui didn't need to be like this, he wouldn't just ignore him and just walk away.It just didn't know when it started, the relationship between the two became like this, full of a sense of distance cautiously walking on thin ice.

Bai Duanduan stopped and looked at Lin Hui quietly.

Lin Hui seemed to pluck up courage, and he took a deep breath: "I...I recently dreamed of a morning glow."

"It's actually been a long, long time since I could dream of her." Lin Hui seemed to be choked by the cold wind, he coughed a few times, his voice was a bit trance, and his appearance was a bit cramped, "Maybe it's my cowardice and evasion. You’re right, I selfishly chose the bad road, and I put all the blame on the outside world, on the injustice of the society, but... But in fact, I just surrendered to the difficulties without struggling at all. For many years, maybe it’s not that I didn’t dream of Zhaoxia, but I didn’t dare to dream of her because I didn’t know what I could use to see her."

"I am a coward. I indulge my frustration and pain. I paralyzed myself with fame and fortune, and covered the past with a face similar to Zhaoxia. I..." Lin Hui took a deep breath, "Come on, what you said, It's all right."

"I know that you don't want to see me at all now. I think I am a mean and dirty middle-aged person. I think every word I say is lying. I don't expect to regain your trust, but I just want to tell you. Thank you, thank you for being willing to scold me."

Lin Hui's voice was trembling: "I named the law firm after Zhaoxia and myself, and regarded it as a child of myself and Zhaoxia. Over the years, I have watched Zhaohui go farther and farther, but I may also go by myself. It’s too far away, far enough to completely deviate from my original intentions, far far enough to completely lose myself."

Bai Duanduan tightened his lips and looked at Lin Hui.

"I fired Du Xinyi."

Bai Duanduan showed a slightly unexpected expression.

"Zhaoxia is dead. Even if someone else has a face exactly like her, it's not her. In this world, no one can replace her. My self-deception should be awake." Lin Hui lowered his head and said In the days before Zhaohui, I’m sorry for making you suffer."

Bai Duanduan thought of the past that Du Xinyi had been deflated, how long he had waited for Lin Hui's apology, but now that she really listened to Lin Hui telling it in person, she felt that everything was relieved long ago.

"It's okay." Her voice was soft, "I'm not angry anymore."

Lin Hui raised his head: "I think it's time for me to take a vacation and think about what I should do. I don't want to meet Zhaoxiaquanxia in the future. I don't have the face to see her. Zhaohui holds her name. Maybe she should do something she expects me to do."

Lin Hui took a deep breath: "Certainly, today I have signed a contract with the legal aid centers in several remote villages and towns in C City. In the next five years, Zhaohui will cooperate with those legal aid centers for free, and the agent needs legal aid. The case, no matter how big or small. In order to better serve those people in remote villages and towns who need assistance, from tomorrow onwards, I will be resident in City C for the next five years. Today, I am here to say goodbye to you."

City C is a poverty-stricken city five hours away from City A. It is scarce of materials, almost all mountain roads, inconvenient transportation, and relatively backward infrastructure, education and medical care. In some remote villages and towns, there is not even a decent guest house. No one wants to experience life, but Lin Hui was prepared to stay for five years...

Bai Duanduan's heart is complicated. Lin Hui's expression is haggard and his eyes are bloodshot. However, when he mentions legal aid, his face shows comfort and sadness for the first time.

People must redeem themselves forever. Sister Zhaoxia is gone, and Lin Hui now finally thinks about coming out on her own. For him, this is probably a kind of rebirth full of pain, but it is not a bad thing.

Bai Duanduan sincerely gave his blessings: "Sister Zhaoxia Quanxia will be happy for you. The past is over, look to the future."

Ji Lin probably saw that Bai Duanduan's attitude was slow, and he said, "Ji Lin..." He was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, "I tried to send him messages and called before, but he obviously didn't want to see me, but I don’t actually want to pester him. I just think you’re right. For so many years, I owe him an apology. He doesn’t want to see me. Could you please convey my apology to him. Although the original hurt is no matter what. Can't make up, but I still think I should apologize to him."

Unfortunately, this time, Bai Duanduan decisively rejected him: "I have no way to convey an apology to you. I am not qualified for this kind of thing, and Ji Lin is not obliged to listen to your apology. Of course you can choose to apologize, but the world was originally That's it, not all apologies will be forgiven."

Lin Hui lowered his head: "I'm sorry..."

It can be seen that Lin Hui’s mood at this moment is not stable. The string is too tight and it is easy to break. In the cold wind, he looks vicissitudes of life and bleak, Bai Duanduan remembered the true goodness of him to him in the past, and he finally turned to He bowed.

"Thank you for everything in the past." Bai Duanduan raised his head to look at Lin Hui, and finally said softly, "The conditions in City C are difficult, please take care of you in the future, Teacher Lin."

Lin Hui's three words made Lin Hui raised his head in surprise, his expression finally brought a little sorrow, and then he nodded slightly at Bai Duanduan as if relieved, and said solemnly: "I will. By the way, thank you for this way."

Many times, encounters between people are like this. Walking along the road in life, there have been mutual support, gratitude, conflicts and disputes, and they will eventually separate. However, when they meet again next time, Bai Duanduan thinks, Lin Either Hui or himself, maybe they have all grown and transformed into better people.

——

Ji Lin has no time for Lin Hui, but likewise, it seems that he has no time for Bai Duanduan. In fact, Bai Duanduan really wants to talk to Ji Lin about recent events, but Ji Lin is getting busier and busy. Bai Duanduan turned into a luxury even when he saw him, but gifts were still being delivered continuously, and this was almost the first time that Bai Duanduan received gifts and was a little unhappy.

Bai Duanduan felt that it was time for him to seek his own presence as Ji Lin's girlfriend.

Only soon, she gave up this plan.

When eating at noon, although he did not catch Ji Lin, Bai Duanduan accidentally ran into Rong Sheng. Although the other party saw that he was probably associated with his death cooking, the expression of constipation appeared on his face, but Bai Duanduan eventually Rong Sheng was stopped by the threat of force.

Bai Duanduan originally wanted to calmly beat Rong Sheng to inquire about the latest situation of the next season, but he didn't expect that he hadn't spoken, Rong Sheng took the initiative to confess. He stared at Bai Duanduan and complained: "Can you and Ji Lin? Don’t bother to face each other? It’s almost the Chinese New Year, can’t you be happy? My face is dark all day, and I am also affected by your low air pressure. I feel worried every day and my sleep quality is affected. Recently, Ji Lin didn’t know what was wrong. He took me to work overtime all day long. I haven’t found a partner yet. I am a man who wants to date a blind date. He needs constant maintenance!"

He was very lamented: "Ji Lin, I took a case similar to his dad's back in the day. I have no idea at all. I think of the development of his dad's business. He is really under great psychological pressure, and he is very emotional every day. Tension, this is excusable, lawyer Bai, what's the matter with you? I think you change your brand-name bags and shoes every day. Why are you so glamorous and straightforward?"

Bai Duanduan was stunned, then frowned: "What case did Ji Lin encounter?"

"Just as he used to be an old customer, a nanotechnology company. When this customer first cooperated with Jilin, it was in its infancy. It can be regarded as Jilin and each other witnessing each other's growth. Now the scale is getting bigger and bigger. Then there is hope to go public, and as a result, I have encountered a capital chain dilemma. I see that this month's employee wages will not be paid..."

What a similar story, Bai Duanduan felt a little bit in his heart, and asked: "Then?"

Rong Sheng sighed: "Then several executives under the boss of the company turned back and sold the company’s trade secrets to a competing company. The boss of Nano Company wanted to sue these executives, right? In the end, I don’t know from which channel I heard the news first, so I acted first, eliminated all the evidence, and then dumped a letter of resignation for voluntary resignation. The problem was particularly committed. Before I left, I took the nano enterprise all the All the backup copies of the written contract have been burned. In addition to the commercial cooperation agreements between the company and other enterprises, there are also labor contracts for all workers!"

"After that, an anonymous group mail was sent to exaggerate the company’s dilemma, telling employees to ask for their own wages. The company can no longer pay the current month’s wages, and implied that all the written labor contracts have been lost. Compensation for double wages for all working years!"

With such a stupid and evil operation, Bai Duanduan did not expect to see it a second time, and the history is surprisingly similar. Rong Sheng is right. This case is almost like Ji Lin’s father once met. Have been...

"This customer is Ji Lin's old customer. He attaches great importance to it. This nano enterprise is almost the one he has grown up to today. It has feelings in itself, and the disgusting operation of these executives completely reminds Ji Lin of his father. The matter, now he is going to kill this case."

"How about the current situation?"

Rong Sheng sighed, "I couldn't find a breakthrough at all, so he was under a lot of pressure."

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Rong Sheng just complained casually, but Bai Duanduan couldn't help his emotions fluctuate.

Regardless of whether you are angry or angry at Ji Lin's work, but when this happens, Bai Duanduan still finds that he is unwilling to follow Ji Lin's heart completely.

Because she can imagine Ji Lin's struggle and depression.

Similar scenes, similar cases, and similar developments. If he cannot prevent the company from suffering huge losses, his guilt will be doubled.

When his father had an accident, Ji Lin was still young and he was really helpless. Perhaps it was for his father. He chose the law. After making enough money to pay back, he resolutely returned to China and joined the field of labor disputes, not only to avenge Lin Hui, but he kept going all the way. As the acting business owner, perhaps he wanted to make up for his regrets. He couldn't help his father at the beginning, but he wanted to help the business owner who suffered the same way as his father.

If he is still powerless in this case, then for him, it's not just losing a lawsuit, it's like going back in time. Ji Lin is standing in front of his father's case again, but still powerless and unable to save his father...

In the end, Bai Duanduan didn’t even eat any food. She went straight to the airport. Rong Sheng told herself that this nano company was in D city, and Ji Lin was on a business trip in D city. Information, told the hotel to stay in tonight.

Although Ji Lin's extremely concise and concise message did not tell him about this case at all, and it seemed that he did not need him, Bai Duanduan sat in the airport and desperately wanted to see Ji Lin.

She wanted to be with Ji Lin.

The boarding announcement in the airport sounded for the third time, and Bai Duanduan finally boarded the plane amidst anxiety and anxiety.

——

More than three hours later, the plane landed in D city. It was late at night. Bai Duanduan took a taxi and went straight to the hotel where Jilin was staying.

Before the plane took off, she sent a text message to Ji Lin, but he did not reply until now. Bai Duanduan waited in the hotel lobby for an hour, and then saw Ji Lin, who was returning to the hotel after the dusty servant company had just opened.

He wore a dark suit, his face was cold, tall and indifferent, and he was surrounded by men in the same suit and leather shoes, probably the head of the company. The two of them were talking while walking, their expressions were serious, and Ji Lin frowned with good-looking eyebrows. , Lips pressed tightly, although they were still as sharp as a sheathed sword, the brows were still stained with a faint fatigue and haze.

The man next to him said something to Ji Lin, and then he left, ready to turn around and leave. Bai Duanduan knew that he should wait for the other person to completely walk away before appearing again, but she didn't know what was going on, she totally tolerated it. Unable to stop, she stood up, ran towards Ji Lin and rushed towards Ji Lin, and then rushed into his arms as Ji Lin raised her head in amazement, she hugged him tightly.

Ji Lin also had an instant accident, but soon, his frowning eyebrows stretched out, he didn't say a word, just hugged Bai Duanduan.

Bai Duanduan buried his face in Ji Lin's chest: "Ji Lin, I miss you."

Ji Lin was stunned, and then deepened the embrace.

The person in charge of the enterprise hadn’t gone far yet. He turned and saw Bai Duanduan who suddenly rushed into Ji Lin’s arms, with an expression of surprise and surprise on his face, and then he saw Ji Lin’s cold face suddenly softened, this It made him even more surprised and stunned.

He had known Ji Lin for so many years, and it was almost the first time that he saw this expression on his face. He couldn't help but glance at the girl in Ji Lin's arms. He thought that Ji Lin must love her very much.

——

Ji Lin and Bai Duanduan separated briefly after hugging in the lobby, and then went to the elevator together. The floor of Ji Lin is on the 20th floor. When the two people got out of the elevator, they seemed to have taken the greatest restraint and walked to the door of the room. This kind of self-control collapsed when he took out the house card. Ji Lin put his arm around Bai Duanduan and swiped the house card with the other, while leaning over and kissing her fiercely, with a beep, and Ji approached rudely. Kicked open the door, he still put his arms around Bai Duanduan, deepening this long-lost reunion kiss, the two of them leaned on the door that had just been closed, Bai Duanduan's back against the cool door, on his lips But it is the most intense and warm lingering contrast.

No words are needed. Missing and love have already confided to each other from the lips of the two people not willing to separate.

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin with his full red lips and wet black eyes that he had just kissed. Ji Lin seemed to have spent the greatest self-control of his life. He looked away, and then covered Bai Duanduan's with his hands. Eyes: "There will be a meeting at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss countermeasures. At 8 o'clock, we will have a formal meeting with labor representatives for the first time."

Bai Duanduan rose up and looked at him through the gap between Ji Lin's fingers.

So?

Ji Lin's voice was a little dumb: "If you look at me like this, we won't have to sleep tonight."

Ji Lin put down his hands and kissed Bai Duanduan's eyes: "Be good."

There was a faint gasp in his voice: "This case, I can't be distracted."

Bai Duanduan looked directly at Ji Lin: "You know that going to bed can disperse the pressure, right? Many times you are in better condition after going to bed."

Ji Lin stared at Bai Duanduan, and then the incomprehensible man directly covered Bai Duanduan's mouth.

Then in Bai Duanduan's glaring glaring, he gently kissed her on the cheek: "It can disperse the pressure, but with you, I don't want to just disperse the pressure, so I can't now."

Rubbish straight man, although he rejected himself so bluntly, Bai Duanduan felt that his whole heart was beating with arrhythmia.

If it doesn’t work, it’s not alright. Bai Duanduan pushed away Ji Lin: "Then tell me about the case, why don’t you tell me about this case? Am I your girlfriend or Rong Sheng is your boyfriend? He knew that you took such a case."

At this point, Ji Lin also knew that Bai Duanduan knew about the Nano Company's case. He knew that there was no need to cover it up, but he lowered his eyes: "Rong Sheng is really big-mouthed."

"So why don't you tell me? If someone with a little more imagination, you can make up for your concealing your schedule and work content, and actually messing around outside behind me?"

"Not messing around." Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan, "Only with you."

Bai Duanduan blushed, and she gave Ji Lin a bluffing look: "Then why are you hiding?"

"Certainly, I am not omnipotent." Ji Lin looked away a little crampedly, "I will lose too."

Ji Lin paused, and said dryly: "In this case, almost all the current evidence has been lost. The other party is prepared to do nothing, and the tricks are pragmatic. When my client discovered it was too late, there was no evidence to preserve at the time of intervention. There is no breach of evidence collection."

He raised his head and looked at Bai Duanduan: "There is a high probability that I will lose." Then he looked away, "I don't want you to see me lose."

Bai Duanduan's heart was sour: "So you are like a fool to carry it all by yourself?" She squatted down in front of Ji Lin, holding his face, "But even if you can't win, you are the best in my heart." ."

"This case, I want to accompany you by your side." Bai Duanduan held Ji Lin's hand, "I will accompany you in all future cases, win with you, and lose with you."

Ji Lin suddenly laughed a little bit: "Why don't you tell me to keep winning with me? Why don't you say that I will not lose?"

"Lawyers are not gods. Each case is different and the degree of evidence preservation is different. Just like a famous doctor with high medical skills cannot save all patients, he is alive. As long as he is in the profession, he will win and lose, but he will go all out and do his best. If you can, you can lose beautifully, and you have a clear conscience." Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin, "There is nothing to lose."

She blinked and whispered, "Even if this case is similar to your father's situation, but... you know, we are not all-powerful. If we lose, there is no need to blame ourselves and be pressured. You are not to blame. "

Although only a few words, Ji Lin has fully understood what Bai Duanduan was thinking.She was worried about herself, worried that she would be dragged back into the past depressive and painful experience, worried that she would not be able to get out.

What she was worried about was indeed correct. Ji Lin didn’t tell Bai Duanduan. First, he didn’t want her to see that she was losing. Second, she didn’t want her negative emotions to affect her. For this case, which is almost completely similar to her father’s case. In fact, Ji Lin is not as calm on the surface, he does bring anxiety and pressure inside him.

Because it was so similar, that he really didn't want to lose, Ji Lin didn't want to experience the powerlessness when facing his father's plight.

It is very rare for most girls to be considerate and give emotional support at this time. However, Bai Duanduan is not an ordinary girl. Almost soon, she directly enters the working mode. It is better to spend time with Ji Lin. Fight with him.

"A person sometimes has limited thinking. It is better for me to accompany you to sort out the evidence and details together tonight, maybe you can find a breakthrough."

Bai Duanduan was very vigorous and vigorous. Almost just after she finished speaking, she really picked up the materials on Ji Lin’s desk and began to check carefully. While organizing her thoughts, there was no waste of a minute, which made Ji Lin suspect that she had just mentioned it Dangerous temptation requires not one person at all.

It's just that Bai Duanduan is so professional, and Ji Lin naturally didn't get distracted anymore. The two really began to cross-examine the current materials in an attempt to find out the flaws in the other party's evidence.

It’s just a pity that these executives are obviously here prepared, and Jilin’s customers don’t care about contract procedures and management on weekdays, so that it is difficult to find the mail flow except for the written backup of the labor contract. Or other communication records and other supporting evidence.

...

No matter how hard Ji Lin and Bai Duanduan work, there is still no way.

There was no breakthrough at all.

"Although your customers have told you that their labor contracts are in duplicate, the company keeps one copy, and the worker himself holds one copy, but once the worker wants to misrepresent the double wage, he can completely hide his own copy. If you provide or destroy your own copy, the company has no way to prove that it has signed a contract. After all, there are too many loopholes in the company’s compliance management. In addition to the written contract, it does not even backup an electronic scan. Not to mention that there is any evidence left with the worker before signing the labor contract."

Ji Lin is also quite serious about this: "In their labor contract template, I suggested that the labor contract should be in quadruplicate. The company should hold three copies and the employee should have one copy. This is not only convenient for archive management, but also in case of loss or damage. There are backups, but the person in charge of the company felt that four contracts were unnecessary. At the time when the company was founded, the rented office was very small. They felt that each contract needed to be archived in triplicate, which was too much space and a waste of resources, so they insisted on only stipulating in the contract. In duplicate, the company has only one original."

"Because there was no legal department at the beginning of the business, and the staff mobility in the personnel department was also very high, the handover of work was not done at all, and the entire administrative work was in a mess. Even if these executives did not deliberately damage the labor contract, I guess there is The minor contract was lost during the move and custody transfer."

It’s just the fact that everything in the past can’t be remedied. It’s hard to buy money. I’ve known it early. This kind of early compliance issue can be regarded as the minefield that entrepreneurial growth companies are easiest to step on. Guan deliberately used magnification, and it was Ji Lin, and there was really no way to pull the waves.

"The only thing I can do now is the negotiation tomorrow." Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows. "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, I will have a meeting with the person in charge of the company to determine the plan. The first round of talks with labor representatives will begin at eight o'clock. , But I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic. It is difficult for these labor representatives to say that they will not open their mouths. After all, it is now easy to find jobs in the nano industry. It is also true that companies are in financial difficulties and cannot pay wages. People's profitability will seize this opportunity. To squeeze the company out again, not to mention this kind of mass incident, once the puppet stirs up troubles, emotions can easily spread..."

As in the case of his father...

Having said this, Ji Lin gradually lowered his voice: "If I can't win, all I can do is try my best to negotiate to reduce the company's losses and expenses."

It's just that although Liuliu and Bai Duanduan promised that his emotions were okay and that he would not affect his mood because of this case, Ji Lin was not a saint, he was still somewhat frustrated, just covering it up well.

——

It was late at night, and Ji Lin wanted to help Bai Duanduan open another room, but Bai Duanduan made it clear that he would not leave.

"I don't want it. I flew to C city specially, but ended up opening a second room and being kicked out by my boyfriend to live next door. I don't want face?" Bai Duanduan sat on the bed, staring at Ji Lin with bright black eyes. If I don’t leave, I will live with you."

Ji Lin pursed his lips, a little bit helpless, he was a little helpless, only lowered his voice: "I won't be able to sleep with you."

"Who said I want to sleep with you?" Bai Duanduan blinked, "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the ground."

"..."

Bai Duanduan glanced at Ji Lin: "I just saw it. The hotel has been cleaned very well and the floor is very clean. I will ask you for two more quilts, one mattress on the carpet and one covered. How perfect."

"..."

"Okay, just say that, hurry up and go take a bath, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

Ji Lin sometimes feels helpless. When she meets Bai Duanduan, she seems to have never had a way out. She sits on her big bed carelessly and makes clear that she is ready to occupy the nest, but Ji Lin has nothing to do. She wears The white sweater, when I look at you with beautiful black eyes without talking, is uncomfortable, even if he knows that Bai Duanduan's cuteness is a piece of skin, Ji Lin is still reluctant to talk to her.

He didn't expect that he became a partner, and one day he would even sleep on the ground...

Ji Lin took a bath with angrily and amused, and then watched Bai Duanduan busy making a "bed" for himself, and his heart felt a little sweet.

When he himself didn't realize it, all the bad feelings of frustration, anxiety and guilt in his heart just now were squeezed into an unknown corner by Bai Duanduan, and what was in his heart right now were all sweet and sweet.

Do nothing, just stay with Bai Duanduan, it's fine.

Nothing to desire, but very satisfying.

After turning off the lights, Ji Lin lay on the soft "bed", listening to the sound of Bai Duanduan turning over on the big bed.Suddenly I felt happy enough.

If you lose, you lose. Bai Duanduan said nothing wrong. It is not shameful to lose. He is not a god.

...

Ji Lin closed his eyes and tried to persuade himself to fall asleep, but the sound of Bai Duanduan rustling came from the bed——

She lowered her voice: "Ji Lin, are you asleep?"

Before Ji Lin could answer, she just felt wronged and said: "The Simmons in this bed is uncomfortable and it makes my back hurt. I can't sleep...Is the ground comfortable?"

The carpet is covered with bedding, which is soft and comfortable. Ji Lindang said, "The ground is okay. Would you like to change it below?"

In the dark night, Bai Duanduan's voice was soft, and she brought a little coquettish nasal voice: "Okay."

Before Ji Lin could react, his body like Wenxiang nephrite plunged into his arms. Ji Lin almost subconsciously hugged Bai Duanduan. The hotel at night was very quiet. At this moment, Ji Lin even felt able I heard the sound of my heart beating violently in my chest.

It's a pity that the initiator in her arms didn't realize it at all. She patted the bedding: "It's really more comfortable on the ground."

Ji Lin gently pushed Bai Duanduan away and said dryly: "Then you sleep on the ground." He almost seemed to be chased by someone trying to run, "I'll go to bed."

As a result, Bai Duanduan grabbed the corner of his clothes, her voice was still soft, but not very reasonable: "The bed is not comfortable, you are not allowed to go to bed."

"..."

"You accompany me to sleep on the ground," she said, "I usually hug a bear to sleep at home at night. There is no bear today, then you will be my bear."

Just as Ji Lin wanted to refuse, he listened to Bai Duanduan's grievance and said: "Otherwise I can't sleep."

"..."

So Ji Lin finally slept on the ground with Bai Duanduan, but he didn't fall asleep either. Bai Duanduan got into his arms, her breath lingered around him, making Ji Lin feel at ease like never before. Soon I went to sleep.

When he finally woke up, he found that it was not Bai Duanduan hugging him like a bear, but instead he was hugging Bai Duanduan like a bear.

Ji Lin knew that, in fact, Bai Duanduan had lied and it was never her who needed a bear to fall asleep. She didn't need it at all. However, on such a special night, on the eve of this case, she needed Bai Duanduan to fall asleep.
