C5 We're Just the Same

It was a beautiful evening, and the sky was getting dark. A black Land Rover turned into Jiuyan's apartment with its headlights on and its directional lights on. Fenng Yuchu parked the car in the underground garage and did not hurry to get out.

When he thought about what Yang Fann had said just now, he realized that he clearly wanted to invite the guy with the surname Gong to the celebration banquet. If that was the case, why would he go? All the colleagues in the court knew that Gong Ming and he, Fenng Yuchu, were at loggerheads, not just because they were colleagues, but also because they were competitors. He and Gong Ming often had disagreements about their work, because a case was cold to each other for days, and they saw each other as fire and water, the kind that would never stop.

In fact, he didn't want to get into a fight with him. After all, it wasn't a big deal, it was just a matter of getting to know each other from time to time, and it was a good thing for them to share opinions, but Gong Ming had openly challenged him, so how could he not accept it? However, to be honest, he really felt like he had met his match. He was indeed a strong opponent.

Forget it, forget it. He might as well pretend that he didn't know anything.

Thinking about it, Fenng Yuchu smiled, opened the car door, and walked towards the elevator. He wondered why Xi was not back yet at this time. Alright, then he would go and change his clothes first. He would call him when he arrived.

Fenng Yuchu walked into the changing room, his fingers sliding down the sleeves of each of his clothes. Finally, he wore a long, dark brown windbreaker that felt more casual, and his hair was no longer as it used to be. He put down his bangs, just enough to cover a little of his eyes. The bangs left a row of silhouettes under his eyelids, and he felt like a completely different person, as if he was a multiple personality. If the usual Fenng Yuchu was the elite of the legal world, then now he was definitely a warm-hearted man, especially when he smiled, he was extremely charming.

When Fenng Yuchu walked into the bar, almost everyone's eyes were glued to him, especially his colleagues, who were stunned into silence.

"I'm sorry I'm late," Fenng Yuchu said with a smile. There was a bit of traffic on the way, and it took me a while to stop at the door.

Only then did Yang Fann react. He patted the person beside him and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen Yuchu in casual clothes before? Are you all stupid?"

The people around him laughed awkwardly, "Not at all. It's not like we haven't seen him before, but we've seen too little of him. It's Judge Fenng's fault for not coming out with us more often. When he suddenly changed his clothes, we definitely didn't react in time."

"That's right. I only see Judge Fenng in a suit. How many times have I seen him in real life?"

"That's right, that's right..."

The surrounding colleagues echoed his words. Fenng Yuchu smiled a little embarrassedly and sat down to make fun of them: "What, do you usually see me as a dummy? A real person?"

"Who asked Lord Chancellor Feng to be so busy? How could he care about us colleagues?"

A man sat on the side of the sofa with a goblet in his hand. The red liquid in the goblet was gently shaken by the man in his hand, making him look very coquettish.

Fenng Yuchu glanced sideways at Gong Ming, who was sitting there, and laughed helplessly: "I wouldn't have come if I had known earlier. I can't afford to be interrogated by Lord Chancellor Gong. If we're talking about work, then wouldn't Lord Chancellor Gong be busier than me?"

The men looked at each other. They really couldn't let the two of them touch each other. Fenng Yuchu smiled and leaned against the sofa behind him, ignoring the gazes of the others. Gong Ming was still focused on the glass of red wine in front of him and said, "Same here."

Same here, same here, don't talk about each other.

They didn't know the Gong Ming of the past. His personality was eccentric, and he had the appearance of a ruffian. He was arrogant and unruly. At this moment, he was simply at the other extreme. He had long since hidden his original appearance among ordinary people, and rarely revealed his true nature.
