After showering, Xu Qing came out, not feeling sleepy at all. He sat on the sofa in his loose pajamas and flipped through the book "The Weakness of Human Nature" that Jiang He was halfway through reading.
This was a book written by Dale Carnegie. His roommate had bought it when he was in college, but he didn't really read it and kept it at the bedside. Its main use was to press the bowl of instant noodles.
Of course, Xu Qing had never read it. Just by looking at the title, he thought it was a marketing bestseller at first glance, such as "Men Must Learn These Three Sentences" or "Women Shouldn't Lose to Emotional Intelligence" and other worthless things. If Jiang He hadn't bought it, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to solve this misunderstanding.
The relationship between people was very subtle. A look or a word could have an impact on the surrounding environment. It allowed people to understand themselves and improve themselves. At the same time, they would understand how to get along with themselves and others … Xu Qing skimmed through briefly and summarized the contents of the book. He was surprised that it was not bad. Although it wasn't of much use to him, it would be very beneficial for Jiang He if he could get into it.
Self-awareness was to understand that one was not special. One was just a member of the masses. Nothing revolved around one. Everything had its cause and effect. One had to use the right way to pursue what one wanted.
Understanding of the outside world was to understand that others were not special. Everyone had their own flaws and strengths. Thousands of people had their own faces. Every individual had their own cognitive and IQ differences. There was no need to insist that others had the same point of view as one, even if one knew that others were wrong.
Bad, good, selfish, smart, stupid … As long as it didn't have much to do with one, there was no need to correct them.
Good people had good ideas and bad people had bad ideas. One could disagree, but one had to understand the reason. That way, one could stand on a higher level and look at others and everything. Then, Jiang He would become a very smart heroine.
Xu Qing took the book and put it back in its original place. After thinking for a while, he found a worn-out bookmark in the room and put it in, so that it wouldn't get dirtied by the corner that Jiang He often put on the table.
There was still light coming from the crack of the door below Jiang He's room. He wasn't ready to sleep. He put away the cups on the table to prevent them from being knocked down by Winter Melon when he was alone in the living room. Then he looked around and saw that there was nothing else to do. Only then did he turn off the light in the living room and return to his bed.
The night was long and sleepless, if …
Xu Qing's mind went blank. He clearly didn't see anything, but he could still think of it. The human brain was really strange.
He could only close his eyes and force himself to sleep.
…
On the other side of the storeroom.
Jiang He hadn't laid down yet. She was holding a long sock in her hand and studying it.
Xu Qing had bought this sock when he helped her buy shoes two months ago, but Jiang He had left it in the room without touching it. Two shoe boxes were also in the corner. Inside were small white shoes and small black shoes. The heels weren't very high. She had only tried them on and hadn't officially worn them yet.
The stockings were slippery in her hands and felt very comfortable. Jiang He thought of the women she saw on the street and looked at the door hesitantly. Listening to the movement, it seemed that Xu Qing had fallen asleep.
Since he had fallen asleep …
She pursed her lips as if she was doing something bad. She sneaked to the door and made sure that it was locked from the inside. Then she ran back to sit on the bed and put her feet into the sock.
The clothes were made for people to wear, but it was too lascivious to show her legs. People would definitely see it outside. Jiang He just needed to hide under the covers and try it on. She didn't even let Xu Qing see it, in case he liked the original socks. That would be the end of her.
Feeling that it was a little difficult to put it on, Jiang He didn't pull it up too violently. She took the phone that was charging at the side and searched for how to put it on.
Sure enough, her method was wrong. She should roll up her feet and put them in, then push them up. It would be much easier to put them on than to pull them up.
After putting on the two socks with great difficulty, Jiang He looked down at her legs. She put the nightdress down, lifted it up, and put it down again. Her toes curled twice before she reached out and touched her legs.
The smooth touch was similar to what she had imagined …
This was the reason why Xu Qing had always wanted her to wear it. Jiang He understood in an instant.
It was really comfortable to touch.
It was also very comfortable to wear.
She looked at the high heels in the corner and hesitated for a moment before she went to take them. She turned off the light and lay on the bed. She curled up in the quilt and rubbed her feet. She felt the smooth touch and bit her lip quietly.
It was a little hot.
It was better not to cover herself with the quilt.
…
Early in the morning, the sky was turning bright. The sun had not yet appeared, but Xu Qing had already climbed up to the balcony.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang He's voice came from behind him, giving him a shock.
"You're up so early?!" Xu Qing hid the clothes in his hands behind his back.
"The sky is already bright."
Jiang He was already dressed. She put her hands behind her back and looked into the distance. Then, her gaze landed on Xu Qing and she asked suspiciously, "What are you washing?"
"Nothing, just some socks." Xu Qing said without changing his expression, "What do you want to wash? I'll help you wash them. "
"No need. I'll wash them myself later."
"Alright then."
"…"
"…"
The two of them were silent for a moment. Xu Qing could not help but ask, "Are you going to stand here forever?"
"Oh …"
Jiang He looked at him strangely. She felt that Xu Qing was a little strange today …
Was he afraid of being seen washing socks?
She turned around and pinched the black ball in her hands. She thought that this guy seemed to be the same as her. She also woke up early to secretly wash the two socks.
Could it be …
"What are you looking at?" Xu Qing saw Jiang He turn around and walk away. Then, he turned his head and put his hands behind his back again.
"Nothing."
"I think you seem to have some misunderstanding again."
"No." Jiang He shook his head and hurriedly left. He said without looking back, "I don't know anything!"
"…"
Xu Qing frowned. He felt that things were not simple. But he had not finished what he was doing. He could only use the washing powder to rub the socks.
The stump that Jiang He taught was really useful …
After washing the clothes and hanging them in his room, the sky became brighter. The sun was still not out yet. Jiang He's hands were wet. He had already washed his socks in the bathroom. He was about to brush his teeth and wash his face. Xu Qing also went over and squeezed the toothpaste. The sink was not too small. It was just enough for two people to squeeze in front of the mirror.
Living together was always like this. When they liked each other, it was not enough to just stay in the same room. They had to squeeze together. The closer, the better.
"Good morning, my heroine."
Xu Qing grinned at the mirror. He took the cup and began to brush his teeth.
"Good morning. I … I … Xu Qing."
