Falling Heart

Chapter 74 I Can Only Trouble You This Time
Shen Qing lowered her head and said nothing.

Feeling that the air pressure in front of her was getting lower, she hesitated and said, "I just want to come and visit you."

"He smells heavily of alcohol, but it's just as simple as visiting the class?" Xie Mingchao sneered, "Drinking in the name of watching me?"

He saw that her head was lowered, but her tone was still relaxed, "Shen Qing, you are not yet eighteen, you should look like a minor, and you can't touch alcohol or tobacco."

Shen Qing replied weakly: "... Got it."

Xie Mingchao walked out sideways, "I'll take you back first."

She followed in small steps, and stopped him guiltily: "No need, you still have to work."

"It's not the first time that you've delayed me from going to work." He said calmly, stopped and turned around, Shen Qing was caught off guard and bumped straight into it.

If it were Xie Mingchao in the past, he would definitely take two steps back and quietly watch her fall.

Shen Qing didn't expect him to stand still, but his hands pressed her shoulders in resistance, and he didn't give her a romantic hug like in idol dramas.

She shook her body a few times before standing still, and Xie Mingchao's face in front of her eyes had already begun to blur.

"Although I know it's useless to say I'm sorry, it seems that I can really only trouble you this time."

Shen Qing became drunk as soon as her consciousness dimmed.

Xie Mingchao sighed silently, took off his overalls and covered her, and picked her up.

Colleagues bumped into each other and teased with a smirk: "Xiao Xie, are you still in the golden house?"

Shen Qing's face was covered, blocking their curious gazes.

Xie Mingchao didn't explain, and only responded softly: "I need to trouble you again to ask the manager for a leave of absence."

The colleague put his fist on his chest and thumped him with an expression that I understood. "OK."

Xie Mingchao stopped in front of her car, but the seat was too high for her to sit on.

He was about to take a taxi to take her back when he saw a familiar pink eDonkey out of the corner of his eye.

Xie Mingchao fumbled in her pocket for a while, and found a bunch of Hello Kitty pink pendant keychains.

He put her on the back seat, leaned her back against the trunk, and temporarily stabilized her figure.

Li Xin just said goodbye to his friends and entered the community, happily pressing the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed and opened again, her smile froze when she saw someone coming.

Especially that brat was holding her baby Qingqing in his arms.

Li Xin subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, but seeing that Shen Qing was sleeping soundly, she moved her mouth and held back her silence, but her entire face was distorted with anger.

Xie Mingchao nodded at her, then turned around and pressed the fifth floor with his normal expression.

It wasn't until the elevator stopped on the fourth floor that Li Xin couldn't help but curse: "Little bastard, put Qingqing down!"

Her voice echoed throughout the corridor, Shen Qing's eardrums hurt, and she woke up from her sleep.

Seeing that she woke up, Xie Mingchao directly put her on the ground, regardless of whether she stood still, said "I'll go back first" and entered the elevator.

Li Xin hurriedly helped Shen Qing up, and worriedly called her: "Qingqing, are you okay?"

Shen Qing shook her head, saw Li Xin's face clearly, her consciousness was half awake in an instant, "Xin... Aunt Xin?"

Li Xin smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body, and his face sank, "Are you still drinking?"

Shen Qing stepped back, "Well... shall we go home first?"

Li Xin dragged her by the arm and walked home, "Okay, let's close the door and talk about family affairs."

The light in the living room was only half turned on, and Li Xin was sitting on the coffee table, holding a ruler in his hand and tapping gently, looking at the person in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Shen Qing sat with her legs together in an orderly manner, assuming an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

"Why drink?"

"Because Xiaoxiao and the others came to see me in Kyoto today, and the atmosphere was up, so I went to the bar."

Shen Qing silently apologized to the two in her heart, and hoped that they would never blame herself for using them as a shield.

"Really?" Li Xin obviously didn't believe it, "Call them now."

Shen Qing raised her heart and swallowed nervously, but she still didn't make a sound to stop it.

She could only dial Gong Xiaoxiao's number slowly, and handed over the phone with both hands respectfully.

"Hey, Qingqing, are you home?"

Li Xin cleared his throat and said softly, "Hello, I am Qingqing's temporary guardian. I met you in the hospital last time."

After listening to Shen Qing's introduction, Gong Xiaoxiao came to her senses and politely shouted: "Hello, Aunt Xin."

"Did you come to see Qingqing today?"

"Yes."

Li Xin went straight to the point: "And went to the bar together?"

Shen Qing felt her heartbeat stopped suddenly, and begged Gong Xiaoxiao to discern the situation and adapt accordingly.

Gong Xiaoxiao was really silent for a while, and then laughed awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Aunt Xin, I made this suggestion, Qingqing couldn't resist me, that's why I forced her to come here, I guarantee that the bar is safe!"

Li Xin was dubious, "Why don't you send her back, let that kid Xie Mingchao send her?"

Gong Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her brain was running fast, and she pretended to be calm and replied: "Because Chen Qian vomited, I was in a hurry to send him back. It happened that Xie Mingchao was working in a bar after work. He proposed to send Qingqing home, so ..."

"Miss Gong, can you stop letting Qingqing and Xie Mingchao be alone again?" Li Xin may have completely believed it, but her tone was still serious, "A man and a woman can't kiss each other."

Gong Xiaoxiao was probably still in the shock of Xie Mingchao sending Shen Qing home, and she was stunned for a few seconds before speaking.

"Ah... good Aunt Xin, let's not make an example."

Li Xin hung up the phone, her sharp eyes swept back, and Shen Qing immediately sat up straight.

She raised up three fingers: "Aunt Xin, I also promise that I will not be an example!"

Li Xin looked at her for a long while, and the emotion between his brows and eyes finally softened, "Qingqing, I have no objection to you making friends. But you are not only Lulu and Shen You's treasure, but also an important person to me. If you have any problems , we will not feel at ease."

Shen Qing was first scolded by Xie Mingchao tonight, and now she was taught by Li Xin. Although she was wronged, she was so wronged that she didn't make a sound.

She sniffed, "Okay, I see."

"Write a letter of guarantee."

This line was so familiar, Shen Qing raised her face in astonishment, "What do you promise?"

"Promise you'll never go to a bar again until you're an adult."

Shen Qing got up and went back to the room to get a pen and paper, "Okay, I'll write."

Under Li Xin's supervision, she wrote a [-]-word self-criticism with tears in her eyes, reflecting on her mistakes between the lines.

Before leaving with the letter of guarantee, Li Xin told: "Go to bed early."

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and opened her eyes wide in shock.

"What about my surroundings?"

She didn't care about waiting for Xie Mingchao's reply, so she called directly.

Xie Mingchao was taking a shower at the moment, and the phone on the shelf vibrated.

He glanced at it and picked it up casually.

"Xie Mingchao, have you ever seen a dark blue gift bag?" Shen Qing spoke hastily, but stopped when she heard the sound of water on the other side, "Are you taking a bath?"
