Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 39

The visit time was at ten o’clock in the morning on Friday, and Shen Tingwei went to the detention center with Lin Chen and the man he had seen a few days ago—that is, Lian Jue’s lawyer.

Shen Ting never thought that seeing Lian Jue again would be in such a situation.

Lian Jue was brought by the prison guards and sat down across a layer of glass with a thickness of two centimeters. When he saw Shen Tingwei beside the lawyer, his eyes changed for a moment, but it was so subtle that he could not be caught by Shen Ting. Did not understand.
Shen Tingwei could only see that Lian Jue had lost some weight, but he thought that the life in the detention center for less than a week should not make him lose weight to such an extent that he could see it at a glance. Not too easy.
Lin Chen made a very helpless expression, did not pick up the communication device, and said to him with his lips: News.
Lian Jue nodded and looked back.
He didn’t say hello to Shen Tingwei, and Shen Tingwei didn’t speak.
The lawyer had a lot of very important things to confirm with Lian Jue. Shen Tingbu stood silently behind the lawyer, looking at Lian Jue through the glass.
Shen Ting didn’t want to come in for a while on the way in the future. He thought that Lian Jue would not want him to see his embarrassed moment. The moment he saw Lian Jue with his own eyes, Shen Tingwei had another peculiar mentality, Lian Jue was Lian Jue wherever he was, and the word ‘wolverine’ seemed to never exist in him.

Even in the detention center, Lian Jue still sits tall and straight, speaks slowly, and his expression has not changed much from what Shen Ting had never seen before – except for the green stubble that could not be shaved in time, there was no obvious sign of haggard.

There is no need to shave the head in criminal detention, but there are probably no conditions to take care of it in the detention center. Lian Jue’s hair is not too short, it was usually fixed with hairspray, but now it fell down slightly to cover his forehead, which made him less mature out of thin air. Contradictory sense of age.
Perhaps Shen Tingwei’s eyes were too revealing, Lian Jue raised his eyes during the conversation with the lawyer, and met him with a somewhat stern look.

Shen Ting didn’t have time to dodge, so he had to look back, and silently apologized for disturbing their conversation: Sorry.
Lian Jue didn’t take his eyes back, as if he didn’t understand his mouth shape, so Shen Tingwei had to point at the lawyer slightly to remind him to concentrate.
But obviously, Lian Jue’s attention was not distracted by him, and he answered the lawyer’s questions on the phone without a pause.
“Now it’s mainly because the production chain of the overseas company under your name overlaps with some of the original equipment manufacturers in Fengjue’s production chain. If Chen’s manipulations in this regard, I am afraid it will be very troublesome.” The lawyer told him.
“What if I could provide the running water for each order?” Lian Jue looked away from Shen Tingwei’s face.
“Lin Zhu has asked the company to send me the running water, and now it is being checked by a special person…”
Not worried about disturbing them again, Shen Ting took a few steps back and sat down on the lounge chair by the wall of the reception room.
He began to regret agreeing to Lin Chen’s invitation to visit. Lin Chen probably didn’t know their marital status well, so he brought him to visit Lian Jue out of good intentions, but he himself knew that he and Lian Jue were just a formal marriage, so when he appeared What’s the point here?

But after seeing that Lian Jue’s mental state was not bad, Shen Tingwei still had to admit that he felt a little relieved – at least the arrhythmia that had caused him to sleep and eat for a few days was relieved a lot.
After an unknown time, Lin Chen suddenly called him.
Shen Ting did not raise his head, but looked at him in confusion: “Is it time?”
Lin Chen’s expression became a little strange. He said to Shen Tingwei, “No, there are ten minutes left.”
“Ah.” Shen Tingwei looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Chen looked back at Lian Jue, then hesitated to speak to Shen Ting: “…Aren’t you going to talk to President Lian for a while?”
Shen Tingwei realized what he meant and stood up quickly.
The lawyer deliberately set aside ten minutes for him. Although Lian Jue agreed to it for some reason, Shen Tingwei still felt a little sorry for it. He said to the lawyer, “I’m bothering you.”
The lawyer smiled at him, gave up his seat, and sat back to the seat where Shen Tingwei had just sat to sort out the evidence.
Shen Tingwei’s thoughts were a little confused. He didn’t know what to say to Lian Jue for a while, and then he wanted to ask Lian Jue why he gave him so much money. Aren’t he afraid that he would take the money and run away?
He sat down opposite Lian Jue, picked up the calling device, but looked up when he looked up: “…What’s wrong with your face?”
Standing behind the lawyer just now, his field of vision was limited. Now, in front of Lian Jue, he noticed that there was a very red mark on the right side of Lian Jue’s face near the tragus. It was a little swollen and looked like a scar.
There was a momentary unnatural reaction on Lian Jue’s face, which was caught by Shen Tingwei sensitively. He looked at Lian Jue, his brows furrowed, and his tone was a little hesitant: “…Did you get beaten inside?”
Lian Jue didn’t expect that he would ask such a bizarre question, so he looked at him for a while hesitantly, and said, “This is a society ruled by law.”
Shen Tingwei’s frowning frowned still did not relax, as if he was questioning his words, and Lian Jue looked at him a little speechlessly: “Your imagination is too rich – you just touched it accidentally.”
When he took a shower yesterday morning, he misestimated the height of the rack where the dental appliance was placed. After washing his face, he got up, not paying attention to the sharp edge of the metal frame of the rack on the side of his right ear. The wound is very small, because he is the kind of physique that will turn red when he is injured, resulting in more obvious scars.
But he had no plans to explain to Shen Ting – this reason for injury sounds too stupid.

Shen Tingwei probably didn’t fully believe his words, his eyes were suspicious, but he still nodded.
Not wanting to dwell too much on this issue, Lian Jue was silent for a while, not very good at changing the subject and said a bit bluntly: “You are fat.”

“Huh?” Shen Tingwei touched his face unexpectedly, and asked without noticing, “Are you fat?”
Lian Jue looked at him for a while, and felt that his actions were silly. He raised his chin lightly, and lowered his gaze slightly: “Belly.”
After realizing what he meant, Shen Ting was not a little surprised. He wore a rather loose cotton shirt today. Before going out, he carefully looked in the mirror to make sure that he could cover his lower abdomen well, but Lianjue could still be seen at a glance. It was still through such a layer of glass—clearly Lian followed him. Chang Xing, who was traveling together, didn’t even notice.
“It’s been more than three months.” Shen Ting did not explain the reason to him.
Lian Jue said, “I know.”
Shen Tingwei didn’t know how to answer his words, and was silent for a while. After a while, he said, “You can already hear the baby’s heartbeat.”
Lian Jue quickly said “um”, as if he didn’t know what to say, so he didn’t say anything.

Shen Tingwei looked at his expression that did not change much, and felt inexplicably lost in his heart, and followed Lian Jue with a low “um”.
The atmosphere fell into a familiar silence again, Shen Tingwei stared at the marble table in front of the glass, and began to think about why this ten minutes was so long.
A voice suddenly came from the receiver: “…what is it like?”
Shen Ting failed to react immediately, raised his head and looked at Lian Jue: “Huh? What?”
Lian Jue glanced at him, paused, and said, “Heartbeat.”
Shen Ting stared at him for a moment without blinking, as if he had just recovered from that strange emotion, and repeated a little dully: “Ah, heartbeat.”
He “um” for a while, feeling that the unforgettable voice became indescribable at this moment, so he used a very silly way to imitate the frequency of the fetal heartbeat: “Plop, plop, plop- —”
After a short period of “thumping”, Shen Tingwei suddenly read some unfavorable words from Lian Jue’s eyes, and immediately realized that his behavior was too funny – Lian Jue’s failure to laugh probably stemmed from good Self-cultivation.

He stopped embarrassedly and said to Lian Jue, “They won’t let you bring in your phone, or I’ll show you the video.”
Fortunately, Lian Jue didn’t comment on his “performance” that didn’t seem very smart, but just nodded, otherwise Shen Ting might not be able to sit here and continue talking with him in a polite manner like this.

Shen Tingwei licked his dry lips because his face was very hot. He lowered his eyes slightly, did not continue to look at Lianjue, and said softly, “It’s very regular, very powerful, and…it’s also wonderful.”
There was a light and fast air sound in the receiver next to his ear, Shen Ting was not stunned for a moment, then raised his head, trying to determine whether Lian Jue smiled.
But Lian Jue is the kind of person who is very good at managing emotions. Shen Tingwei didn’t see anything, so he had to judge in his heart that he heard it wrong.
When the visit time was over, the staff came in to urge.
Shen Ting did not hold the receiver, and involuntarily looked at Lian Jue a few more times, still trying to find a trace of a smile on his face. Goodbye sir?”
Lian Jue paused for a few seconds, then said “um” softly, “Go back.”

Shen Ting did not return the communication device to its original place, got up from his seat and walked towards the door.
Lin Chen noticed that Lian Jue’s eyes were still focused on Shen Tingwei, and when he reached the door, he stopped Shen Tingwei and motioned him to turn back.
Shen Ting didn’t turn his head, frowned slightly and glanced at Lian Jue blankly.
Lian Jue’s gaze moved up from his lower abdomen, met his eyes, stopped for a while, and silently said to him: Let’s go.
