Thinking of this, Lin Qing's eyes turned slightly red: "Then... will you call me?"
Mu Li promised: "I definitely will."
Lin Qing leaned on his chest and secretly regretted that she really shouldn't have wasted last night.
Before leaving, Lin Qing grabbed Mu Li who was about to open the door.
Mu Li turned around and stroked her cheek: "Are you reluctant to let me go?"
Although he was smiling, he was also very reluctant.
He seemed to be missing her even before he left.
Lin Qing nodded, clasped Mu Li's palm and interlaced their fingers, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
After Mu Li left, Lin Qing felt bored. She looked through her address book and finally called Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao was a little angry when she received the call, and accused him on the other end of the phone: "You didn't come to work at the company, are you planning to cause trouble?"
"No... I was also forced." Lin Qing was helpless.
Later, Lin Qing tried to explain for a long time before Lu Xiao calmed down.
"Well, even if what you said is true." Lu Xiao showed his magnanimity and asked, "But what do you want to talk to me about now?"
Lin Qing grabbed the microphone and said, "How about we go out for a walk tonight?"
Lu Xiao was very satisfied with this proposal: "Okay!"
They immediately agreed on a time and place, planning to go out and have some fun.
But when Lin Qing found the place Lu Xiao mentioned, she found that it was not quite what she had imagined.
At this time, Lu Xiao also arrived and called out to Lin Qing happily from behind: "Lin Qing, you finally showed up, huh?"
Lin Qing turned around and pointed at the bar behind him, saying, "This isn't the 'good place' you mentioned with 'excellent environment and fresh air', is it?"
Lu Xiao shrugged: "Don't worry about it. The main purpose of this trip is for us to chat. Where we go is secondary, secondary."
Lu Xiao’s words made Lin Qing feel pure sadness.
"Come in!" Lu Xiao happily took Lin Qing's arm and dragged her into the bar next door.
After entering, the only thing that made Lin Qing feel relieved was that this bar was relatively formal and large in scale, so the environment inside was indeed not as chaotic as he had imagined.
The two of them found a relatively quiet place to sit down, and Lu Xiao ordered two bottles of wine right away.
Obviously, she wanted to drink and deliberately tricked Lin Qing here.
Lin Qing silently swore in his heart that he must add Lu Xiao to the blacklist.
Lu Xiao didn't take it seriously: "It's just a visit to the bar, don't worry too much, I used to come here often."
As she spoke, she patted Lin Qing's shoulder and made a relieved expression.
Lu Xiao hadn't been to the bar for a while, and she looked a little excited today. She quickly finished her bottle, and Lin Qing generously pushed hers to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao’s alcohol tolerance is pretty good, so Lin Qing wasn’t too worried.
When he finished drinking half of the bottle, Lu Xiao started to talk more: "Lin Qing, are you not going back to work at the company?"
Lin Qing shook his head and denied: "Yes, but I'm not sure about the time."
Lu Xiao angrily put the bottle of wine in his hand on the round table with a clang, attracting the attention of people around him.
However, Lu Xiao didn't care and said to Lin Qing loudly: "Lin Qing, how can you be suppressed by a man? You don't do what he doesn't let you do. Is this the behavior of an independent woman?"
Lin Qing was really frightened by Lu Xiao's appearance.
"Lu Xiao, are you okay?" Lin Qing pulled Lu Xiao worriedly.
Lu Xiao continued to teach with great dissatisfaction: "Lin Qing, I am right. No matter how good a man is, how good can he be to you? He will cheat on you when the time comes. You must first make sure you are not in a weak position."
In order to calm Lu Xiao down, Lin Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, I understand. I will do as you say in the future, okay?"
Seeing that Lin Qing was very obedient, Lu Xiao took a deep breath and lowered his voice.
"That's right, you must remember what I said, okay?" Lu Xiao picked up the bottle again and took another big sip.
Lin Qing was about to respond to Lu Xiao's words when he heard a very familiar voice above his head: "Lin Qing?"
Lin Qing looked up and his eyes widened slightly.
"Eh?" She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen Qudong was also surprised: "I was just wondering why you came to the bar?"
It was really hard to explain the whole story, so Lin Qing just said, "I found the wrong place, so I got in by mistake."
Chen Qudong felt dizzy.
Lu Xiao, who was standing by, didn't hear their previous conversation. Suddenly, she noticed that the strange man was talking to Lin Qing. She waved her hand while holding the bottle of wine, pointing at Chen Qudong: "Who are you? Don't come and flirt with our girl!"
Chen Qudong had no choice but to explain: "You misunderstood, I am not the kind of person you said I was."
Lu Xiao didn't believe it, staring with eyes wide open: "I'm dying of laughter, everyone says they are not that kind of person!"
At this time, Lin Qing hurriedly pulled Lu Xiao aside and whispered, "He is someone I know. He is a senior I knew in college."
"Senior?" This word triggered a certain memory of Lu Xiao. She paused for a moment and said, "That is, the senior who called you last time?"
Lin Qing nodded.
Lu Xiao sighed, and made room for Chen Qudong with a half-smile: "Since you two know each other, just assume that I was drunk just now."
Chen Qudong was not particularly disgusted by Lu Xiao's behavior. Instead, he felt that she was a person who valued friendship very much.
The bar was very noisy. Lu Xiao sat for a while and then wanted to go to the dance floor. Lin Qing was not very good at dancing, so he did not follow.
"Don't run around. I don't want anything to happen like last time." Lu Xiao whispered to Lin Qing before leaving. He glanced at Chen Qudong again before leaving meaningfully.
Only then did Chen Qudong finally have the opportunity to talk to Lin Qing.
On the table were a few bottles of wine that Lu Xiao had just ordered. Chen Qudong picked up the last full bottle, took a big gulp from it, and moved closer to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol and was probably the most sober person in the bar at the moment. She sat there, bored.
Originally I went out because I was bored, but now, I was just bored in a different place.
"Do you come here often?" Chen Qudong asked at this time.
Lin Qing shook his head: "No, it's the first time."
Chen Qudong laughed, but he often came here.
Especially after the recent conflict with Fish Leong, he has been going to the bar more and more frequently and staying longer and longer.
Today was the same. I couldn't stay at home any longer, so I took a detour and came here. I didn't expect to meet Lin Qing.
This is probably just a coincidence.
An idea sprouted in Chen Qudong's heart, and the sapling grew bigger and bigger.
"We just said yesterday that we would go out together again when we have time, and we met today." Chen Qudong said cheerfully, "Lin Qing, it seems that we are destined to meet!"
Perhaps because he had drunk some wine, Chen Qudong's tone was slightly frivolous.
Lin Qing just regarded this as a joke between friends, and said with a smile: "Because he is my senior, after all, we have known each other for so many years, so we still have some tacit understanding."
He does not mean that.
Chen Qudong glanced at Lin Qing, with some deep emotions floating in his eyes.
"However, we have to seize the opportunity of fate." He held the bottle of wine and looked at Lin Qing again.
"What?" Lin Qing was stunned and didn't speak for a few seconds.
"Lin Qing..." Chen Qudong was interrupted by Lin Qing as soon as he opened his mouth.
She avoided his gaze a little, and said as she stood up, "It seems that the wine is finished. I'll go get some more."
Lin Qing made an excuse and went to the bar.
But she stood up too quickly, and before she could stand firmly, she tried to move her feet and tripped over the round table in front of her.
Lin Qing staggered and took two steps back to the open space next to him.
He bumped into a strange man walking from behind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lin Qing apologized repeatedly without even raising his head.
The strange man looked to be in his thirties and was tall. He lowered his head and looked down at Lin Qing: "Are you looking for death?"
The unfriendly tone made Lin Qing's scalp tighten.
She seemed to be in serious trouble.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't see it just now..." Lin Qing lowered his head and spoke in a lower voice.
Because the bar was a bit noisy, her voice was low and the strange man didn't hear the rest of her words.
"What? You bumped into me and you're right?" The tall man looked at Lin Qing in the flickering light.
Lin Qing was very sorry: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
"Not intentional?" the tall man looked suspicious.
According to his experience, this kind of thing is most likely intentional, and after a while the person who accidentally bumped into someone will reveal their true colors and start using all means to seduce him.
So, this is how he views Lin Qing's behavior now.
Seeing that Lin Qing spoke very sincerely, the man looked at her with curiosity.
Looking closely, the girl who bumped into him is quite pretty.
She has delicate features and a good figure, and she looks very adorable with her head lowered.
The man had probably drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and for a moment he became sexually aroused.
Why not eat the meat that is delivered to your door
So he reached out to touch Lin Qing's face.
"Little sister, have a drink with me, and I'll let you go this time." The man's eyes swept across Lin Qing's chest.
Although it was covered by clothes, the experienced man could tell at a glance that it must feel very good.
Lin Qing couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the man kept approaching her, making it impossible for her to escape.
Just as the man was about to touch Lin Qing's face, Chen Qudong strode over from the side and pulled Lin Qing behind him.
"Please be respectful." Chen Qudong frowned, one hand still holding the wine bottle which he had not had time to put down, and the other hand clenched into a fist.
Lin Qing was held behind Chen Qudong, with most of her body blocked, so she couldn't see the tall man's expression clearly.
But this atmosphere is really not optimistic.
The tall man smiled coldly and pointed at Lin Qing behind Chen Qudong: "She is your girlfriend?"
Chen Qudong clenched his fists even tighter: "She is not someone you can mess with."
"Ha!" The tall man saw through their relationship and laughed even more wantonly, "It seems that you are not boyfriend and girlfriend, so why are you trying to be a hero! We are all here to have fun. What does it have to do with you if I want to buy her a couple of drinks?"
"I told you, don't try to get her attention!" Chen Qudong raised his voice.
He had drunk a lot before meeting Lin Qing, and now, under the influence of alcohol, he was very excited.
The desire to protect Lin Qing continued to take root in his heart, as if he could not tolerate it if the man opposite him took a step forward.
"I'm going to pay attention to her today. Why, since you're not her man, do you want to meddle in other people's business?" The tall man stepped forward and was about to pull Lin Qing behind Chen Qudong.
