Chapter 62.3: A kiss completely off guard

Chen Xun is a straightforward person, but he has a humorous and witty way of speaking. After processing many cases with his language, the blandness seemed to become more “funny”. Bai DuanDuan listened to several of them in a row and suddenly swept away her melancholy mood, laughing so hard that she almost fell over.

She couldn’t help but cry out, “Save me…”

This guy Chen Xun is probably a part-time lawyer and a solo comedian. If he keeps going, Bai DuanDuan suspects she might actually dislocate her jaw from laughing too much.

But before she could finish her sentence, Chen Xun suddenly stopped talking and looked surprised behind Bai DuanDuan. Then he shouted, “Ah, Lawyer Ji…”

Bai DuanDuan was stunned for a moment. Actually, there were countless lawyers named Ji in City A, and Chen Xun could even be shouting for Lawyer Ji. But for no reason at all, Bai DuanDuan just felt that the person walking towards her from behind was Ji Lin.

She turned back with some trepidation, and the tall and straight figure confirmed her guess.

Yes, it was Ji Lin.

He was wearing a new suit, an ash gray one, which was more formal than a black casual one, but still looked handsome and elegant. His expression was still cold and he had a poker face, seeming emotionless. Although his eyebrows were not furrowed, Bai DuanDuan subconsciously felt that Ji Lin’s mood was not good.

And it was very rare that he walked to her side at this moment, but he didn’t look at herself at all, but looked at Chen Xun. His eyes were dark and deep. With this posture and appearance, he must be intending to communicate with Chen Xun on some professional or case matters. When Chen Xun was in ZhaoHui, he had been targeted by Ji Lin many times and had fought him several times.

Not only did Bai DuanDuan think so, but Chen Xun also seemed to think so. He first hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand and said, “Ji Lin, nice to meet you. I have a case…”

But Ji Lin didn’t give Chen Xun a chance to finish his sentence. He also reached out his hand, but he didn’t even look at Chen Xun’s hand, and instead…

Instead, he pushed Chen Xun away.

Bai DuanDuan stood beside Ji Lin, staring in amazement as all of this happened. Ji Lin didn’t use much force when he pushed, but Chen Xun was caught off guard and instinctively took two steps back. At this moment, he looked at Ji Lin with a shocked expression on his face.

Even though Ji Lin had just done something inexplicable, he remained calm and collected, as if a mountain had collapsed before him without affecting him. Finally, he frowned and glanced at the spot where Chen Xun had retreated to. Apparently, he was still dissatisfied, so in front of so many people, he pushed Chen Xun again.

He pursed his lips and spoke in a low, warning tone, “Stay away from her.”

Chen Xun had to step back a few more steps, staring in disbelief at Ji Lin. It was evident that everyone present was somewhat stunned by the development of the situation. Ji Lin looked steady on his feet, with a clear look on his face, and no one associated him with being drunk. From a normal person’s point of view, Chen Xun didn’t know when he had offended this demon from the legal world. Ji Lin had come looking for trouble, and this time he seemed to want to escalate to physical conflict rather than just verbal argument.

Bai DuanDuan almost instinctively reached out to grab Ji Lin, gently shaking his hand and asking, “Ji Lin, what’s wrong?”

Only then did Ji Lin turn his head to look at Bai DuanDuan, his face showing a greatly comforted expression, and a faint smile that disappeared in an instant. When he looked back at Chen Xun, his face became cold again.

Fortunately, the conflict did not escalate.

Ji Lin paused, then grabbed Bai DuanDuan’s hand and said, “Okay, I’ll take you away.”

Then this man dragged Bai DuanDuan away from the scene, without giving them a chance to part.a

___________

Bai DuanDuan was almost pulled away by Ji Lin with a confused look on her face. This man walked steadily and calmly, to the point that Bai DuanDuan didn’t even realize anything was amiss.

Ji Lin usually walked with a steady pace, hardly ever in a hurry. However, for some reason, he walked very fast while pulling Bai DuanDuan this time, even disregarding his usual composure. Bai DuanDuan was led by him all the way to the fountain in the depths of the garden. Even at this moment, Ji Lin’s expression remained unpleasant, and beneath his cold facade, he seemed anxious and nervous. He directed Bai DuanDuan to sit down.

Bai Duandan was pulled by Ji Lin to sit on the edge of the fountain. The European-style fountain was very large, and the edge was designed for people to rest and enjoy the view, so it was very spacious.

After sitting down, Bai Duandan looked at Ji Lin in confusion, and he looked back at her.

He frowned and finally spoke again. Although Bai Duandan could faintly smell the faint smell of alcohol on him that was brought by the wind, Ji Lin’s voice and expression were calm. He said to Bai Duandan, “Lie down.”

“Ah?”

Bai Duandan was completely baffled. Lie down? Where to lie down? Lie down on the edge of this fountain? Although the edge was spacious enough for her to lie down, it was so cold on such a cold day!

Unfortunately, Ji Lin obviously did not have the patience to explain. He looked anxious and a little irritable. He stubbornly looked at Bai Duandan and said, “Lie down quickly, or we will be late.”

“Late?”

Bai Duandan still had a lot of questions to ask. Ji Lin was very unusual today, first pushing Chen Xun with hostility, and now he wants her to lie down.

But now he looked at her urgently, “Lie down quickly.”

Ji Lin looked at Bai Duandan again and said, “Listen to me.” Then he took off his coat and spread it on the marble edge behind White Duandan. “It’s not cold now, lie down quickly.”

The wind in the open-air garden at night was actually very cold. Despite taking off his coat, Ji Lin’s shoulders remained broad, but he was actually dressed quite thinly.

His words were still stiff and not gentle, but Bai Duanduan inexplicably felt very useful, and Ji Lin seemed no longer satisfied with urging her. He reached out his hand and then gently but unambiguously pushed Bai Duanduan down. Because of the words “listen to me”, Bai Duanduan did not resist forcefully. By the time she reacted, she was already lying on the marble. Due to Ji Lin’s coat still carrying body temperature, Bai Duanduan’s back did not feel as cold as expected, but rather warm.

Bai DuanDuan lay flat on the edge of the fountain. She had just wanted to see what Ji Lin wanted to do, but when she looked up, she saw the starry sky.

Living and working in the city for a long time, people do not often look up at the sky. Bai DuanDuan was the same. It wasn’t until this moment that she realized that she had missed the quiet and sparkling starry sky every night.

It was also at this moment that Bai Duanduan suddenly remembered that she had once wanted to be an astronomer.

She looked at those beautiful stars, trying to distinguish Orion, and subconsciously said, “Ji Lin, look at the sky…”

However, as she spoke, she saw the starry sky in front of her being covered up. This interruption broke off what she was going to say next.

Soon, Bai Duanduan realized that the one covering her was Ji Lin. He leaned down, and then quickly, in Bai Duan’s shocked eyes, this man interrupted Bai Duanduan’s unfinished words again.

The unfinished topic in Bai Duanduan’s mind disappeared into the other’s lips.

He kissed Bai Duanduan.

Also, in this completely unexpected kiss, in the entanglement of lips and tongues and the exchange of moisture, Bai Duanduan finally tasted the alcohol in Ji Lin’s mouth. She didn’t know how much alcohol Ji Lin had drunk tonight.

It was a very short kiss, and before Bai Duanduan’s face turned red and her heart started racing, Ji Lin let her go. He did such a thing and could still calmly look at herself now.

Bai Duanduan’s heart was about to burst with embarrassment and passion, and her face was so hot that she felt the cold wind in the open garden was not fierce enough, and it could be even colder to cool herself down.

However, her habit made her calm even at this moment. She looked at Ji Lin and said calmly, “Ji Lin, what were you doing just now?”

Ji Lin was even calmer than Bai Duanduan. If Bai Duanduan wasn’t the one who was just kissed, she would have thought that Ji Lin was discussing a difficult case with her.

He looked at Bai DuanDuan, and it seemed that she didn’t feel any remorse for the kiss without her consent.

Ji Lin looked at Bai DuanDuan in this way, and then he calmly said, “I will perform artificial respiration on you.”

? ? ?

Bai DuanDuan felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She couldn’t help but raise her voice, “What?! Artificial respiration?! Why do I need artificial respiration when I’m fine?”

Damn it, this is blatant harassment! He even denied that he kissed her! This was her first kiss!

Bai DuanDuan felt that she was no longer embarrassed. She clenched her fists and wanted to sit up, thinking about where to hit Ji Lin…

Even if Ji Lin was drunk, she couldn’t just leave it like this!

However, when she tried to sit up, Ji Lin insisted on pressing her down again. He leaned over and looked at Bai DuanDuan seriously, and said one word at a time, “You shouted ‘save me’, so I brought you here to do artificial respiration, rescue, emergency treatment, golden four minutes, I did nothing wrong.”

Bai DuanDuan was stunned and only understood the logic from Ji Lin’s words. She had indeed laughed uncontrollably after listening to Chen Xun’s stories about so many bizarre clients, and subconsciously shouted “save me”…

So?

So Ji Lin heard her shout for help and came over?

How drunk was this man?
