Had she never smiled before?
Jiang He was silent for a while and tried to smile at him.
"Don't smile. You're making me nervous."
Xu Qing hugged her tightly. "It's not that you don't know, you're just not used to it.
You'll get better slowly. "
"Will I get better?" Jiang He also realized what was different about her after he mentioned it.
Their whole family was happy and cheerful, and she only knew how to smile — just curl up the corners of her mouth and go along with them.
She could understand what they were smiling about and why they were smiling, but she still didn't want to smile.
"Of course you will. Don't you smile at Aunt Cheng when you go out for a walk? And Zhao Shu … Although he becomes serious when he speaks, it's already much better than before."
Xu Qing comforted her. "I can feel your happiness. For example, when you eat barbecue, hotpot, cake … You're always in high spirits, and the corners of your mouth are raised.
But you forget to smile and only smile occasionally when you need to. I know that. "
He leaned his head against Jiang He's face and said softly, "I know everything."
Just like what he said to her before, her spiritual world was very lacking. She only had the most instinctive smile, like a hungry person seeing a warehouse full of food, like an uncle who had worked hard for a year seeing a harvest. She would unconsciously smile.
At other times, she would forget to smile, or rather, she would restrain herself.
"So the uncle yesterday didn't like to talk to me?" Jiang He pondered.
"Yes, you're too serious. It's not good to be like this at such a young age." Xu Qing closed his eyes and felt the warmth of her body. "Actually, there are many people like this. They are serious and old-fashioned, or introverted, or eccentric. Those are all personalities, and it's not a big deal. Yours is a personality, but it's also not.
You came from more than a thousand years ago. There are some things that you need to learn in order to master. "
"There are many things to learn."
"You've learned a lot, haven't you?
Just slowly feel what it's like to like someone. Don't force yourself to do anything because you want a stable life. I can wait for you.
Unless you want to leave this place yourself, I won't drive you away. "
This was also part of the plan. Craving was craving, and liking was liking.
He liked this naive little seedling.
"I don't want to leave," Jiang He said, "and I'm not forcing myself."
"Then you can kiss me again." Xu Qing said.
Jiang He was stunned. Hesitantly, he got up from Xu Qing's arms and pecked him lightly.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
"What kind of feeling can a kiss have …"
"Dishonest."
Xu Qing finally loosened his grip and stood up to rub his wrist. He smiled and said, "Don't pinch me so hard in the future. If you like me, you can tell me. I won't resist even if you kiss me … In fact, I enjoy it."
Jiang He had already seen the bruise on his wrist. "I … I shouldn't have drunk yesterday. I'm sorry."
"Let's go. I'll take you to pay a New Year visit."
"Are we innocent now?" Jiang He asked again.
"You kissed her and hugged her. What are you thinking about? I was defiled by you for nothing? " Xu Qing was surprised. "If you think it's not enough, you can come to my room at night and do something excessive to me. Just don't be too rough."
"I can even give you my shoes." Jiang He regretted his impulsiveness yesterday.
"… I don't like shoes. I like kisses."
Xu Qing touched his lips and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
It was the first day of the New Year. This was a good start.
Jiang He would become a modern man. He knew how to take the initiative and how to hold him with a smile and kiss him, instead of pressing down on him and making his face full of saliva.
Hmm … He didn't know where he learned to press down on him and kiss him randomly. Was it an innate instinct?
…
The sun was shining brightly outside. The snow was shining brightly under the sunlight. It was so bright that it hurt people's eyes.
The two of them went to their home to pay a New Year visit to Xu Wenbin and his wife. Jiang He received two big red envelopes. She was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Xu Qing just helped her put them in her pocket and asked her to keep them safe.
Xu Qing also received a red envelope. It was two thin pieces. It was almost impossible to tell how thick it was. It was estimated that it was either 100 yuan or 200 yuan.
They didn't stay for lunch. The old couple had to wait for their relatives and neighbors to visit again. Xu Qing took Jiang He to the Qin Family to continue paying New Year's greetings. They received two more red envelopes.
"This is called Mandarin Duck Buns. Look at the bird on your red envelope. There's also a bird on hers. Put together, it's a pair of mandarin ducks."
Qin Maocai was quite good at making decorations. Even the red envelopes were different.
"Prepared for Haozi?" Xu Qing looked at it and put the two red envelopes together. It looked good.
"If that guy brings his girlfriend home, it will be his. What a disappointment."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Jiang He held the red envelope and thanked him. Although it was not as thick as Xu Wenbin and his wife's, she was still a little scared.
At this pace, Xu Qing would take her for a stroll, and the two of them would be rich.
After sitting in the Qin Family for a while, Xu Qing didn't stay any longer. He took Jiang He out with four red envelopes. At the entrance of the neighborhood, they met Qin Hao who was returning.
"Look, it was originally yours. Is it nice?" He took out the red envelope and showed it to Qin Hao. It was so childish.
"It's not like I don't have it!"
Qin Hao pushed the electric scooter and said with contempt, "I'll go to your house to get it later."
"It's not the same. It's a Mandarin Duck. You can only get it if you have a girlfriend."
"…"
"Hurry up and go back. Officer Qin, you've worked hard. Happy New Year!"
Xu Qing smiled and waved at him. He didn't want to waste any more time and left with Jiang He.
"Can he help me solve my identity?"
After walking a little further, Jiang He asked Xu Qing in a low voice.
"He's just a small area police officer. How can he have so much power? He can't do it."
"Oh."
"But it's still a little helpful. Nothing in this world exists independently. They affect each other. Don't be like a fool who thinks one way or another …
For example, I asked you to soak your hands to get rid of the calluses. It's not against the law to have calluses, and it's not against the law to practice swordsmanship. But if you're seen to be very strong and know how to wield a sword when you don't have an identity, then it'll be troublesome, right? "
"I know."
Jiang He didn't read Sherlock Holmes for nothing. "The details determine success or failure."
No matter what Qin Hao's identity was, the more people who knew her, the more real she was.
"It's really nice." She followed beside Xu Qing and took a deep breath.
"What's nice?"
"Everything is nice. I feel very … fulfilled."
Jiang He couldn't describe that feeling. The two of them had planned something together, and they had been acting on it. They had done too much in the past six months.
"You were humming a song this morning. What were you humming?" Xu Qing suddenly remembered something.
"Did I hum?"
"Yes."
"I forgot."
"Really?" Xu Qing was doubtful.
Jiang He didn't say anything. She looked down at her shoes.
The two of them stood by the roadside waiting for the bus. The warm sunlight shone on them, and the wind was not too noisy. This winter seemed a little peaceful.
"Let's have a chat for a few people. Say good night ~"
Xu Qing was slightly stunned. He looked at Jiang He, who was humming softly next to him.
The clear and smooth voice stopped abruptly.
"I only know this one sentence."
"That's not bad." Xu Qing grinned. He looked around and suddenly leaned over to kiss her cheek.
"Lecher!" Jiang He subconsciously covered her face.
"You too."
