I can only trouble you this time
Shen Qing lowered his 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 over and visit you."
"You smell quite heavy of alcohol, but it's just as simple as visiting a class?" Xie Mingchao sneered coldly, "You come to drink in the name of looking after me?"
Seeing that her head was lowered, he softened his tone and said, "Shen Qing, you are not eighteen yet. You have to act like a minor. You are not allowed to smoke or drink."
Shen Qing replied weakly: "...I know."
Xie Mingchao walked sideways and said, "I'll take you back first."
She followed him in small steps, but she felt guilty and stopped him: "No need, you still have to work."
"This is not the first time that you have delayed my work." He said calmly, stopped and turned around, and Shen Qing was caught off guard and ran into him.
If it had been Xie Mingchao in the past, he would have taken two steps back and quietly watched her fall.
Shen Qing didn't expect that he would stand still, but his hands would hold her shoulders in a conflicting manner, not giving her a romantic hug like in an idol drama.
She swayed twice before she stood still, and Xie Mingchao's face in front of her began to blur.
"Although I know it's useless to say sorry, it seems I can only trouble you this time."
Shen Qing became drunk as soon as her consciousness dimmed.
Xie Mingchao sighed silently, took off his work clothes, covered her, and hugged her up.
A colleague bumped into him and joked with a wicked smile: "Xiao Xie, why don't you hide your beauty in the golden house?"
Shen Qing's face was covered, blocking their curious glances.
Xie Mingchao did not explain, only responded softly: "I have to trouble you to ask for a leave from the manager for me again."
My colleague had an expression that I knew well, and he put his fist on his chest and beat it. "OK."
Xie Mingchao stopped in front of her car, but the seat was too high for her to sit down.
He was about to take a taxi to take her back when he caught a glimpse of a familiar pink electric donkey.
Xie Mingchao fumbled in her pocket for a moment and found a pink pendant keychain from Hello Kitty.
He put her on the back seat and leaned her back against the trunk, temporarily steadying her body.

Li Xingang entered the community after saying goodbye to his friends and pressed the elevator happily.
The moment the elevator door closed, it opened again. Her smile froze when she saw the person coming.
Especially when 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 to hold back the sound, but her whole face was twisted with anger.
Xie Mingchao nodded to her, then turned around and pressed the button on the fifth floor as usual.
It wasn't until the elevator stopped on the fourth floor that Li Xin couldn't help but curse: "You little bastard, put Qingqing down quickly!"
Her voice echoed throughout the corridor. Shen Qing's eardrums hurt and she woke up from her sleep.
When Xie Mingchao saw that she was awake, he put her down directly on the ground. He didn't care whether she stood firm or not, and said "I'm going back first" and entered the elevator.
Li Xin hurriedly helped Shen Qing and called her worriedly: "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Shen Qing shook her head and saw Li Xin's face clearly, and her consciousness suddenly became half clear, "Xin...Aunt Xin?"
Li Xin smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body, and her face darkened, "Are you going to drink?"
Shen Qing stepped back, "Well... let's go home first?"
Li Xin dragged her arm and walked home, "Okay, let's close the door and talk about family matters."
The lights in the living room were only half turned on. Li Xin was sitting on the coffee table, holding a ruler in his hand and tapping it gently, looking at the people in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Shen Qing sat calmly with her legs together, as if she was asking for advice humbly.
"Why drink?"
"Because Xiaoxiao and the others came to Kyoto to see me today, and the atmosphere was high, so they went to the bar."
Shen Qing silently apologized to the two of them in her heart, hoping 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 thought and swallowed nervously, but still did not say anything to stop him.
She could only dial Gong Xiaoxiao's number slowly and respectfully handed over the phone with both hands.
"Hey, Qingqing, are you home?"
Li Xin cleared her throat and spoke softly: "Hello, I am Qingqing's temporary guardian. I met you in the hospital last time."
After hearing Shen Qing's introduction, Gong Xiaoxiao reacted and politely shouted: "Hello Aunt Xin."
"You came to see Qingqing today, right?"
"Yes."
Li Xin went straight to the point: "And we went to the bar together?"
Shen Qing felt her heartbeat stopped and prayed to Gong Xiaoxiao to recognize the situation clearly and adapt accordingly.
Gong Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and then laughed twice: "Sorry, Aunt Xin, this opinion was made by me. Qingqing couldn't resist, so I forced her to come here. I guarantee that the bar is safe!"
Li Xin was dubious, "Why don't you send her back and let that boy Xie Mingchao send her back?"
Gong Xiaoxiao took a breath, her brain was working rapidly, and she pretended to be calm and replied: "Because Chen Qian vomited after drinking, I was in a hurry to send him back. I happened to happen to see Xie Mingchao getting off work at the bar, and he proposed to send Qingqing home, so …”
"Miss Gong, can you please not let Qingqing and Xie Mingchao be alone in the future?" Li Xin may have completely believed it, but her tone was still serious, "Men and women cannot be intimate."
Gong Xiaoxiao was probably still in shock from Xie Mingchao sending Shen Qing home, and was stunned for a few seconds before speaking.
"Ah...Okay Aunt Xin, I won't do this again."
Li Xin hung up the phone and glanced back with sharp eyes. Shen Qing immediately sat up straight.
She raised three fingers: "Aunt Xin, I promise, I won't do this again!"
Li Xin looked at her for a long time, and the emotion in his brows and eyes finally softened, "Qingqing, I don't object to you making friends. But you are not only the treasure of Lulu and Shen You, but also my important person. If you have any shortcomings, , none of us will feel at ease."
Shen Qing was first scolded by Xie Mingchao tonight, and now she was taught by Li Xin. Although she was aggrieved, she was too unreasonable to say anything.
She sniffed and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Write a letter of guarantee."
This line was so familiar that Shen Qing raised her face in surprise, "What do you promise?"
"Promise you'll never go to a bar again before you're an adult."
Shen Qing got up and went back to the room to get pen and paper, "Okay, I'll write."
Under Li Xin's supervision, she tearfully wrote a 2,000-word self-reflection, reflecting on her mistakes between the lines.
Li Xin took the guarantee letter and told her before leaving: "Go to bed early."
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and opened his eyes in shock.
"Where are my peripherals?"
She didn't bother waiting for Xie Mingchao's reply and called him directly.
Xie Mingchao was taking a shower at the moment, and his cell 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 said quickly, but stopped when she heard the sound of water on the other side, "Are you taking a shower?"
