Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 13 Why haven't you come yet?
The two of them sat and chatted about some interesting things in school. Ranmo felt that the time was almost up, so he called Qingsheng and prepared to go home.
Qingsheng jumped up from the ground. He easily pulled Ranmo up again. Then, he draped his arm around Ranmo's shoulders with a slightly lazier look, and leaned over her, saying, half-heartedly, "I haven't rested enough yet. Let me lie down for a while."
Oh my goodness. Aren't you afraid of crushing me with your strong body? But in reality, she didn't feel much pressure. Qingsheng controlled his posture and strength just right. He encircled the little person in his arms without causing her to feel any undue pressure.
Where can you find such a considerate and kind man?
But there was no way to go back like this. Luckily, Qingsheng changed his position just in time. He still leaned over her, but adjusted the angle and position. His arms clasped around her neck to the side, and his back faced forward, as they walked forward together with a determined gaze.
Just now they were face-to-face hugging, now they were walking side by side. If you didn't know, you would think they were dancing tango.
When they were almost at Ranmo's house, the two of them said goodbye reluctantly.
When she entered the house, her mother lovingly asked her why she had just returned and whether she had encountered any problems. Ran Mo shook her head and gave a few simple answers.
Wei Hua looked at her suspiciously. Ran Mo knew what she was about to say, but she had no time to pay attention. She dragged her mother into the inner room, wanting to ask where she could find some legal books to read.
My mother was a little surprised. It was a good thing for a girl to be able to attend a private school and study some classics, so why was she even thinking about the law? Was she going to sue someone?
Ran Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. Learning some law is always useful. If you encounter a case of debt repayment, theft or assault, like the day when the old Zhao family assaulted you, you can use the law to reason and help."
After hearing what Ranmo said, his mother didn't object. However, the law was very strict and it might not be easy to learn.
This child seemed to have changed since some time. She used to be so shy and timid, but now she was much braver, even standing up for others. Well, this child had endured a lot of hardships since she was little, so let her do whatever she wanted.
Ran Mo happily hugged his mother and gave her a kiss. His mother dodged slightly, her heart overflowing with joy. The child had really become cheerful, even at such a young age, he still acted like a spoiled child with his mother.
Wei Hua, who had been listening outside the door, lifted the curtain and walked in. "Ran Mo, I heard you wanted to read a book on law? What a coincidence! I happen to know Shopkeeper Niu who sells books there. I'll take you there later."
Ranmo hadn't expected Weihua to help her. She wanted to go up to her and pull her aside to thank her, but gave up. She just nodded and thanked her.
"Then tell me the truth, is Qingsheng also studying law with you? If so, you can ask him to come along, and the three of us can go choose books together. If I have any legal questions in the future, I can also ask him for his advice."
Ran Mo was a bit stunned. So she was waiting here. It didn't matter. Whether Qing Sheng went or not, whether Wei Hua asked for advice or not, it wouldn't affect her ambition to study law and become Dayue Kingdom's foremost female lawyer.
The next day, Weihua didn't see Qingsheng coming, and Ranmo didn't know where he lived. So, as promised, she took Ranmo to the shop owned by Niu in town. Then, she left Ranmo alone and went about her own business. Ranmo was happy to have some quiet time, so he could choose a book.
There weren't many books on law. It seemed people in that era still had a weak legal consciousness. The few thin volumes that existed, expounding on the laws and moral principles of the Great Moon Kingdom, sat in an inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf.
Ranmo dusted it off and flipped through it. The classical Chinese writing was a bit difficult to understand. Fortunately, Ranmo had a solid foundation in language and legal theory, so he could roughly infer the meaning.
After paying the bill and returning home with the book, Ranmo sat at her desk, poring over it. The law was divided into two parts: criminal and civil. She planned to first understand the common and practical laws of the people, then apply them to specific cases in practice.
This is also the approach often adopted by legal practitioners. Otherwise, you will never be able to finish studying the vast sea of legal provisions.
She paid particular attention to the issue of marital violence. Ancient laws still upheld the family tradition of the husband as the head of the wife. Husbands had certain rights to discipline and punish their wives. The policy for marital violence was "no action unless reported," and even if a report was filed, mediation was the primary approach.
So even if that rude man had been brought before the authorities that day, he wouldn't have received any punishment. No wonder he was so indifferent. If we hadn't caught him and threatened him, he wouldn't have stopped.
With the complexities of city life, the incomplete legal system, and limited energy, Ranmo decided to choose a professional direction first, such as starting with cases against domestic violence and school bullying, and gradually develop his legal work. These violent phenomena have also received widespread attention and curbed in modern society.
In this ancient town with its distinct customs, how could she begin her work? Should she apply for a license? Could she set up a stall and hang a sign? And, crucially, should she accept payment? If so, what would be the standard?
Oh my god, there are so many trivial things to deal with. Ran Mo felt a headache when he thought about it, so he threw the book on the table and went to bed.
Accompanied by the morning mist and the chirping of birds, Ran Mo woke up from his bed, feeling a little dizzy.
She dozed off in bed for a moment. She saw the book on the table and recalled the legal issues she'd been thinking about the previous night. It felt like something was missing.
She suddenly remembered that Qingsheng hadn't come to see her for two days. Yesterday and this morning.
After just two days, you don't want to see me anymore? It was clearly him who suggested becoming a lawyer. Now, her frail shoulders are left to carry this heavy burden alone.
He knew everyone's address, but he wouldn't tell her where he lived, saying he was staying at a friend's house. "She's a rich girl, right? Who wants to snatch it from you?"
Ran Mo was mad. She covered her face with her hands and was about to sob, but her own thoughts startled her. She had always been a fiercely independent person, so eccentric that she didn't like to work with others or interact with others in her personal life. Many people called her "Ice Person" behind her back.
Could it be that this beauty, built of thousands of years of ice, is now about to melt?
She had no time for any more random thoughts and scrambled out of bed. She put on her clothes, wiped her face, and combed her hair into a mess. While her mother and Wei Hua in the next room weren't paying attention, she quietly slipped out of the house.
Before she had time to look around, a head popped out from behind a crooked tree not far away, waving his arms at her and calling out in a low voice, "Ran Mo, I'm here!"
Ran Mo was so excited that tears were about to flow. What was she doing? It was like she was stealing. She wanted to run over immediately, but then she thought about being more elegant. So she calmed herself down and walked forward slowly without changing her expression or heartbeat.
Before she even got close, Qingsheng couldn't wait to jump out from behind the tree, ran over to her, grabbed her hand and said, "I've been here since early morning, I figured you'd be out soon."
"Why don't you go home?" Ran Mo asked puzzledly.
Qingsheng scratched his head, his eyes dodging as he said, "Ah, I didn't want to disturb your mother and Weihua, so I thought of waiting for you here. If you don't come out, I'll go in and look for you."
Ran Mo suppressed his inner turmoil, glanced at him and said, "You are so thoughtful. I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?"
Qingsheng stared at her, pulled her towards him and said, "Okay, don't talk like that. It feels so strange. What can I want from you? I just miss you." He made a mischievous expression as he said that.
Ran Mo almost choked. He wondered why this person was like this. Even if he liked to hear it, couldn't he be more reserved, slow down a little and show it a little?
"No!" Qingsheng shouted. Ranmo was shocked. How could he even use mind reading?
