Chapitre 88: Awake and Asleep

Long Mei lost her balance, toppling over the stage, but Jin Qing quickly caught her in his arms. 

She stared at him eye-wide. "Mr. Jin! You're here! Did you watch me?"

He looked at her, trying to suppress a grin. "I did." 

She smiled sheepishly wide. "I was having lots of fun!" she said, stretching out an arm like a cat.

"I can see that," Jin Qing said, putting her down gently on her feet, but she only wobbled.

"My feet hurt." 

Jin Qing sighed. He then removed his jacket, placing it over her body since her dress was lost in the crowd. He picked her up again. "Do you want to go home?"

She yawned, snuggling into his chest. "Yes! It's late, and I am tired." 

He then began to walk away, carrying her in his arms, when someone pulled him by the shoulder. He turned, finding Luo Nuying. "Is she okay? I know she drank a lot." 

Jin Qing nodded. "She's fine. I will take care of her."
