Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 23 A Short Separation Is Better Than That
Ranmo spent his spare time at his lawyer's stall, meeting with clients seeking advice. Most of the inquiries were about family matters. He felt that being a lawyer, like being a doctor, was better off letting the medicine sit on the shelf gathering dust. Fewer illnesses, disasters, and disputes were the most important thing.
In her spare time, she would also feel bored. She had been reluctant to admit why before, but now she no longer hides her feelings. Just like that boy said, what else could it be? I miss you.
It had been nearly ten days since Qingsheng left. These days felt like years. She wasn't sad, but she was worried that as time went by, they might forget each other more and more. That wouldn't be a good thing.
Love is something that can't withstand the ravages of time and distance. Besides, they've only held hands so far, so how could she remember him so clearly? It's the same for him, right?
Even though I thought so, I still hoped he would come back soon. After all, he had held my hand and put his arm around my shoulder before, so I couldn't just let it go. I also had to be on guard against him holding someone else's hand.
When she felt lonely, she would hum the song called "Free and Easy." "The wind soothes my heart, and the flowers are blooming. The spring breeze brings the flowers to bloom, and I am waiting for you to come back..."
That afternoon, she went for a stroll in a gathering area not far from her home. She had been here for quite a while, but she was still not completely familiar with the place.
As I walked, I saw a tall townhouse. A warm air filled the air. Looking up, I saw a sign hanging above the gate: "Blue Flower Pond."
She was just wondering where this was when she saw several men coming out one after another, shaking the clothes in the basket and laughing, "The water is hot enough today, it's so refreshing to wash!"
Ran Mo realized that this was the town's public bathhouse. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. There shouldn't be public baths for women in this era.
After standing there for a long time, and just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a whistle from the right, followed by a calm question, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Following the sound, she saw a handsome figure standing under an old locust tree, looking at her with a smile.
All her worries and sorrows vanished instantly. She felt as if she had stepped into a beautiful, sunny day, with the blazing sun right before her eyes, its rays illuminating only her.
She had imagined many times a scene where she would meet a close friend she hadn't seen for a long time, and the two of them would run towards each other and hug each other tightly, just like the scene in a romantic movie.
Unfortunately, she had never experienced such an opportunity in her life. It wasn't that she wasn't used to this kind of two-way running, but she simply didn't have a "rival" to work closely with.
Now, her chance has come. Should she give it a try?
With a thought, her face lit up, she lifted her skirt and took a step forward. At this moment, the man also opened his arms to her, eager to come.
She completely disregarded the ancient woman's modesty and ran towards him in small steps. He also ran towards her with his arms swinging.
Just when they were about to intersect, just a little bit short, some uncultured person threw a flexible and curly vine on the ground. Ran Mo didn't pay attention to his feet, and fell in front of Qingsheng like a dog.
Qingsheng hurriedly helped her up, checking her for injuries while jokingly saying, "Master Yun, please don't do me such a great honor. I can't bear it."
Ran Mo was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. A perfectly good sentimental scene had been ruined. Hearing Qingsheng call her Master Yun, she didn't think he was being attentive in getting her last name. Instead, she angrily thought he'd planned even the fall. Otherwise, why didn't he just come over to her instead of peeking at her from afar?
Qingsheng felt embarrassed, so he brushed the dust off her and coaxed her, "It's all my fault. I came here without saying hello and startled you. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Ran Mo said angrily, "Xiaoyue City is not mine. Just come if you want to. What surprise do I have?"
Qingsheng looked at her with a smile, pretended to turn around and said, "If that's the case, then I'll leave?"
Ran Mo turned her back and ignored him. He smiled, gently put his arms around her from behind, and whispered softly, "Okay, don't be angry, otherwise my heart will be broken."
Ran Mo shuddered and said, "How can this be done in public?"
Qingsheng reluctantly let go of her, then turned to face her and said with a bright smile, "I actually have something good to tell you."
Ranmo looked up at him. He grabbed Ranmo's hand and said, "I can stay here for a long time in the future. I can travel with you, keep you company, and be your lawyer."
Ran Mo's expression shifted slightly. Qing Sheng continued, "I told my father this time that I wanted to stay in Xiaoyue City to do some work. My father initially disagreed, saying that I needed to study with the teacher in the mansion.
"Now I'm mainly practicing martial arts, and I rely on myself most of the time. I promised him that I wouldn't miss out on my martial arts training while I'm here. He and his teacher agreed." Qingsheng said, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Ranmo didn't know what to say. She was naturally delighted by Qingsheng's decision. But she couldn't tell if it was because happiness had arrived too quickly for her to handle, or if she was vaguely worried about what their future would hold. She seemed to always be torn between these two, whether in past lives or this one.
Seeing her silence, Qingsheng simply pouted like a child and said, "Are you really not happy for me? If you're not happy, there's no point in me coming here."
Looking at this situation, if I didn't talk to the child, she might burst into tears. Ran Mo gathered his thoughts and said, "How can I not be happy that you're here? Not to mention a long time, even if you only stay for a day or an hour, I'll be very happy, as long as I can see you again."
It was Qingsheng's turn to look at her with a stunned smile. Ranmo suddenly felt that she had spoken too much. Why were the two of them engaging in sweet talk like a competition? She quickly changed the subject, "Let's go. I'll welcome you today."
Qingsheng nodded in satisfaction. Just as they were about to leave, Qingsheng grabbed her and said, "Didn't you want to go into the bathhouse just now? Come on, I'll go with you."
Oh my god! Who wants to go? Ran Mobai glanced at him and said, "No, we don't even have a change of clothes with us. What's the point of going in?"
Qingsheng smiled awkwardly, "That's true. Actually..."
Ran Mo gave him a suspicious look. Qing Sheng scratched his head and said, "I've never been to a large bathhouse like this before. I don't know what it's like inside. I'm a little embarrassed."
Ran Mo smiled inwardly, "So you and I are about the same." After all, wealthy families all have private baths, so why would they squeeze in with the common people outside and bathe naked?
Qingsheng introduced himself again, "I have two large mandarin duck baths at home. Bathing is very comfortable. If you go there one day, I will take you there."
Ran Mo shook his head when he heard this. "You better let me go." Hey, how did he know about the couple's bath? Is he so open about it? He couldn't help but ask, "Couple's bath?"
"It's not a mandarin duck bath, it's a mandarin duck bathing pool. There are two connected pools, shaped like mandarin ducks facing each other, so they can bathe separately." Qingsheng replied.
I see. Ran Mo stuck out his tongue, thinking he was overthinking it.
Qingsheng looked into her eyes and asked, "Have you really not missed me during this period of time?"
Ran Mo thought, here we go again, and then he said with a determined heart, "I guess so. How does the saying go, a short separation is better than..." He immediately realized what he was talking about and stopped. Why can't he control his mouth and quote something randomly? If he knew the original sentence, it would be a disaster.
"A short separation is better than what?" Qingsheng asked, "This is an interesting start. Let me guess, a short separation is better than, a long separation?" Shaking his head, "No, better than being together day and night?" His random guesses were quite interesting.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Everything is self-explanatory." Ranmo thought there should be no problem with this sentence. Qingsheng looked at her with wide eyes and said admiringly: "Wow, I think you are very talented. What you say is so elegant."
Ran Mo chuckled in his heart, I have been eating dry rice for many more years than you.
