You Sound Sleepy

The restaurant is located in the downtown area of ​​Jingui. When you enter the porch, you will find a quiet and chic courtyard. Champagne ties have booked private rooms in advance, and male waiters in suits and ties lead people all the way into the inner courtyard.

Lin Mian followed Que Qingyan step by step, taking a sneak peek at him from time to time, and had already regretted it a thousand or eight hundred times in the small theater of Naobu.

He was obviously helping her out just now. Originally, she didn't go along and said nothing, and she wouldn't be stunned by the over-enthusiastic champagne tie.

The other party has trained a good eloquence by relying on defense lawyers for many years. She mentioned that she was leaving in the middle of the restaurant several times, but the topic was inadvertently bypassed.

As a result, she is now really embarrassed to intervene in Que Qingyan's private dinner.

She thought shyly, it was really...very rude.

The champagne tie has entered the private room. At the door of the private room, Lin Mian thought for a moment, and boldly grabbed the corner of Que Qingyan's shirt.

The man stopped and turned to look at her.

"Professor Que..." Lin Mian's expression was full of apologetics, and her voice was pitifully low. "I'm sorry...I caused you trouble." She pursed her lips. "I'll apologize with your friend later, and say I have something to do. Let’s go first, it won’t interrupt your dinner party."

Lin Mian knew that she was causing him trouble, so he let go of those charming and careful thoughts in his head, with a cautious look on his face, and immediately let go after he grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Que Qingyan lowered her eyes, swept over the ends of her uncooked hair, paused, and said, "It's just a meal, it won't be troublesome."

One thing goes into one yard. She was a student he taught and majored in law. Those who waited to eat were also lawyers in various litigation fields in the industry. Eating this meal would do no harm to her.

Of course, these are all based on the fact that he treats her as his own student, but she—

Lin Mian was still apologizing, so he heard Que Qingyan's voice sounded again, and continued to ask her:

"Did you go out this afternoon with an umbrella?"

"..." Lin Mian looked up sadly, not daring to hide it from him any more, and confessed obediently, "I brought it."

Que Qingyan asked calmly: "Where is the umbrella?"

She hesitated: "Lend it to someone else..."

After speaking, his ears were slightly red, and he knew that she was deliberately not holding the umbrella...

As for why he deliberately had an umbrella and didn't hit him, he went to him under the rain... Anyone who doesn't understand will understand, let alone the other party still has a clear word.

Lin Mian watched Que Qingyan’s expression, and he pulled his heart nervously. He felt that his next sentence was "I don't have the courage to covet the professor as you are", and then added the sentence "From now on, you It's not used anymore".

Xu Xiaotong might cry at the door of her apartment after returning home.

She looked too worried, Que Qingyan retracted her gaze, and said calmly: "We owe this item in advance. We will talk about it after we have eaten."

Before, he felt that as long as it didn't hurt his self-esteem, he could just click on some things, and it wouldn't hurt if he didn't click directly.

But to her... it doesn't seem to be of much use.

Que Qingyan walked into the private room and turned his head to say a few words to the waiter. It didn't take long for the waiter to approach Lin Mian with a smile on his face, and bowed and asked, "Does the lady need to change clothes? Please come with me."

When Lin Mian returned from getting dressed, there were already six or seven people sitting in the private room. She looked around, and sure enough, she knew no one except Que Qingyan.

At almost the same time the waiter opened the door, several eyes were cast toward the door.

"Here!" Champagne tie greeted warmly, motioning to the vacant seat next to him, "It just happens that everyone is there, and it's not me who pays the bill today. Little girl, you can order anything, don't be polite to me.

Most of the people present had been gossiped before they came, and looked at the forest cotton "bringing the flowers of Gaoling bravely" in front of them calmly. Someone knowingly asked, jokingly: "Qi Jin, you are so shameless. Tell me, how did you trick a pure and lovely girl here?"

"How can it be?" Champagne Tie's real name is Qi Jin. He glanced at Que Qingyan and confirmed that the other side looked sound. "This is a Qingyan student who happened to be there, so I came here."

From the outside, Lin Mian's appearance is actually very deceptive.

She has always had a tender face, a small face and apricot eyes. She has been accustomed to being held in her palm by Mother Lin since she was a child. She looks more delicate than her peers, no wonder people always look down upon her subconsciously.

The only remaining empty seat was next to Que Qingyan. After Lin Mian had finished greeting everyone, he obediently moved over.

Next, during the entire process from ordering to serving the dishes, Lin Mian sat upright in his position, rarely saying a word, and also resisted not paying attention to Que Qingyan who was sitting close at hand. The presence is reduced to a minimum.

All the people present were acquaintances from the same law firm, and they were already familiar with each other, and they chatted with each other while waiting for the food. Lin Mian drank coconut milk and listened. Unfamiliar terms kept popping up in his ears. From the divorce case to the robbery case, the topic remained on a recent economic lawsuit.

The waiter brought the wine, pushed the glass and changed the time, everyone drank more or less, and talked with great interest.

do not understand at all.

Lin Mian swallowed the coconut milk and thought to herself, it was wise to remain silent, she really wanted to let her join such a topic... I am afraid it will be revealed after one sentence.

During the conversation, Qi Jin paid attention to Xia Linmian. He originally pulled people over to watch gossip, but he didn't expect the little girl to be cautious, and she didn't seem to be close to Que Qingyan in school a little bit before.

He was weird. In this way, he didn't look like he came to eat with the professor, but he seemed to be confessing from me.

On the other side, Lin Mian listened to the conversation silently, thinking that tonight was originally a private dinner among friends. She came here to add unnecessary trouble to Que Qingyan. Then there will be something wrong. This is called what's up?

She can be ashamed in front of him, but she doesn't want to...don't want to be ashamed of him.

"You are the student I brought here, so don't be so restrained."

Lin Mian was thinking, and handed over a menu from the side.

Que Qingyan turned his face to look at her, and understood at a glance, and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? Tell the waiter after ordering, or you can tell me." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Are there any precautions?"

Lin Mian was unconsciously pulled back to his thoughts, and blinked at the man.

He was considering her feelings.

When he was about to change, Lin Mian had already run fifty laps in his head, but now...

"I won't eat anymore." Lin Mian shook his head with a face of confession, "Just chat with your friends and leave me alone." She looked firm and whispered, "Just...you just treat me as if I don't exist. I promise you won’t listen to anything you talk about, really.”

"..."

Que Qingyan's gaze fell on her lips with the rim of the cup.

Since the start of the meal, she has not moved the chopsticks on the table, but she has finished three cups of coconut milk, her red lips are still covered with milk froth, and her speech pressure is very low.

Uneasy, cramped, and even brought Microsoft's favor.

"Does the little girl drink?" The waiter brought up the wine again, and Qi Jin interjected with a smile, and asked to pour a glass for Lin Mian. "Try the sake here. The alcohol is not high, so you won't be drunk."

Lin Mian pushed the wine glass, thanked him, and said firmly, "Thank you...but I don't drink."

She hadn't tried her drinking. If she was drunk and Que Qingyan was sitting next to her, she might not be able to control it—no, it was not possible, but she would definitely be unable to control it.

Qi Jin didn't really want to persuade him to drink, he deliberately wanted to tease Lin Mian, and he was called before he could speak.

Que Qing said something to say: "Qi Jin."

"Hey, I'll shut up and shut up."

Qi Jin sat back uncomfortably, after a while, he didn't calm down, and asked Lin Mian jokingly, "When your teacher is in class, does he treat students like this? It's because I didn't go to his class, if I It's a little girl, tsk tsk, she must have secretly promised it."

There was a burst of kind laughter around, watching Lin Mian's reaction happily.

Lin Mian felt his heart when he heard the words, curled up his fingers holding the cup, and subconsciously went to read Que Qingyan.

What he said to her this afternoon replayed the original words in his mind.

Que Qingyan doesn't like her talking to herself in public occasions, and she certainly doesn't like being speculated about her emotional life in public, let alone her students.

Qi Jin's original intention was to gossip Lin Mian. When he said that, he found that even Que Qingyan had been swept together. His heart sank, and just about to speak, someone straightly accepted the words:

"It's okay for my little sister to like clear words, she's really amazing."

The man who was talking was a man sitting in the corner. He put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Don't you know, your teacher had a big case in the first half of the year, and it is still being cited by other lawyers as a classic case. He usually works as a professor and leads students in school, writes papers and works on topics, and can still work hard to take on such a big case outside..."

The man looked around half a circle, pretending to ask the opinions of people around him: "Is it amazing?"

Lin Mian only thought that the man was just boasting, and was still at a loss, but the expressions of the few people present changed.

Qi Jin cursed secretly, hurriedly rounding off: "It's almost done. It's been a matter of closing the case for so long."

The man who spoke was also a lawyer at the law firm. He was usually good at economic litigation cases. Unfortunately, Que Qingyan was a second-level lawyer at the law firm. The occasional cases were basically related to economic litigation.

Half a year ago, an ownership dispute was brought to the law firm. The original attorney was this man, but the client immediately terminated the agency and temporarily replaced the attorney in the middle of the case. Que cleared by naming his surname.

The subject matter of the case amounts to hundreds of millions, and the lawyers' litigation fees after winning can be imagined. Que Qingyan didn't usually come to the law firm, and he didn't know that the man had always been brooding about him, and he knew clearly and secretly that he used means to pry away his client.

Others don't know that Que Qingyan is Que Shao, and that person is the boss of a listed company and has a close relationship with Que's family. Qi Jin understood the inside story and thought to himself, maybe the person involved rushed to Que clear from the beginning.

Qi Jin snorted, people came up to Que Shao a favor, what's the matter with you?

Lin Mian was not aware of his situation, and hadn’t figured out the words to answer the other party’s "She likes Que Qingyan", so he heard another sentence: "Little sister, your teacher is so powerful, maybe it’s a bit difficult for you to chase people? You are you again. Teacher’s students... Is this age difference a bit too big?"

The man smiled ambiguously, and said with a scent of alcohol: "You don't even drink alcohol. You should be the age of just entering college, right? It's easier to be tempted at such a young age."

Qi Jin's face turned blue when he heard it.

He didn't dare to speak directly to Que, so he turned the spear on his student insinuatingly, without a word of decent speech.

Drink high, this ancestor!

Lin Mian understood the meaning of the man's words.

He was sarcastic at her young age, simple mind, and unclear relationship with his teacher.

Lin Mian had never been targeted like this before, her lips tightened, and she was silent for a long while, then glanced at the man.

She was ridiculed face to face, she was not without temper.

But if she shook her age at this time, she would be utterly defiant. A dignified professor of law at a prestigious school, a well-known lawyer... I don't know that my student is an imposter.

Lin Mian closed his eyes, and the fingertips holding the glass were slightly white. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were red, and he tried desperately to not make himself more embarrassed.

She took a breath and said: "I like Que—"

"You don't have the right to ask about other people's privacy. She is the one I brought. If you want to ask her, it is better to ask me."

Lin Mian did not turn his head to look at Que's clear words. He only heard his voice sounding with an imposing coldness: "In the case half a year ago, the attorney was changed. Someone violated the confidentiality agreement. You know the Law of Lawyers and understand the behavior of the Lawyers Association. Orders and regulations, you should know the consequences of violations."

Qi Jin looked at Que Qingyan, the latter raised his eyes and stared at the man, dangling his slender fingers over the wine glass, his face sank, exactly the same as he would usually block people in court hearings.

He threw back what the man had just said: "I have more than enough energy and I don't mind to hold the person accountable."

As soon as the voice fell, the man's face turned pale, and he was mostly awake.

No one dared to speak. The man waited a while, and stood up straight: "Professor Que, I—I just talked nonsense, so drunk that I don’t have a clue."

The man looked at Lin Mian and apologized: "I'm sorry, my little sister, I'm so sorry, don't take what I just said, don't take it seriously, I don't mean anything else, I apologize to you."

Lin Mian turned his face to look at Que Qingyan, he and her looked at each other for a moment, and his expression paused slightly.

She was so wronged that her eyes were red, her lips were tight, and she was holding back, but she resisted not crying in front of everyone. Lin Mian quickly turned his head back after looking at each other, rubbing the corner of his eye with her wrist in embarrassment.

With all eyes in sight, she immediately stood up, not looking at anyone, picked up the glass of wine that Qi Jin poured her just now, and dries in one breath.

The cup was put back on the table, and there was a muffled sound through the fine velvet tablecloth!

Everyone was taken aback.

Lin Mian did not stay, and left the private room directly.

Everyone looked at each other, Qi Jin was stunned for a while, observing Que Qingyan's expression, haha ​​said: "The little girl is almost temperamental..."

Que Qingyan stood up and said coldly after hearing the words: "I know what her temper is."

Qi Jin hurriedly wanted to say something nice, but the other party paused and said:

"I just like her getting angry with me."

There is no principle behind this sentence.

"Qingyan wait—hey, Que Shao—"

Qi Jin couldn't stop Que Qingyan, and didn't dare to stop, he was anxious.

Someone came back to their senses, and later questioned: "Qi Jin, what's the situation?"

Qi Jin stared at people: "Can I know?"

If only he knew!
