Watching the changes of the times would always make people feel a little emotional.
The mobile phone became a smartphone, the village road was connected to the high-speed rail, the video recording studio disappeared and was replaced by the television. From the beginning to the end, Xu Qing watched the entire movie attentively.
Jiang He leaned in his arms and fell into a deeper sleep. Occasionally, when Xu Qing touched her hair, she did not move, as if she had completely let down her guard.
Although she was still a little resistant to certain behaviors, she had acquiesced. Even when watching the movie, they had to take a shower first and then lean against each other intimately. She was only resistant, and if he had to continue touching her feet, she would not be too resistant.
Perhaps it was because of the jade pendant.
Xu Qing touched the jade pendant on his neck and made a perfect interpretation of Jiang He's behavior.
After the end credits were played, the video window automatically shrank, and the light from the computer became a little brighter. He looked down at the side profile of Jiang He's sleeping face, hugged her quietly for a while, and then leaned over to kiss her. She still did not wake up.
He used to dream of traveling the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world …
Now that there was a warm girl in his arms, he just wanted to stay at home with her.
Looking at the time, it was already past ten o 'clock. Xu Qing thought for a while and tried to move Jiang He into the house. If he carried her into the house in the middle of the night, she would definitely be moved to tears when she woke up tomorrow and then beg him to move back to the master bedroom to sleep with her.
Gently moving around, Xu Qing carried Jiang He, who was not snoring or drooling.
Of course, carrying a girl could not be like Jiang He, who was about to carry a piglet by one arm and one leg. Instead, he had to carry her horizontally, which was commonly known as a princess carry. Jiang He weighed about 50 kilograms, so it was not too difficult to carry her. This was partly because of Xu Qing's training, and partly because Jiang He was a girl.
As everyone knew, carrying 50 kilograms of rice was completely different from carrying a girl who weighed 50 kilograms. A girl might not be able to carry 50 kilograms of rice, but a girl could not only carry it, but also spin a few rounds and run a few steps.
Jiang He's eyelids twitched twice. He had already woken up when Xu Qing moved, but for some strange reason, he did not move.
Xu Qing put Jiang He on the bed and shook his head as he looked at her white arms and legs that were exposed under her pajamas.
"This is called entrapment, do you know that?"
"… What do you mean by entrapment?"
"You're the one who made me think that you weren't awake. Then, I took the opportunity to do something, and you caught me in the act."
Seeing Jiang He open her eyes, Xu Qing put his hand on her knee, slid it down her calf, and finally pinched her foot. At the same time, he dodged to the door and closed it to protect himself, making Jiang He's kick miss.
"That doesn't count as taking advantage of others. Good night!"
Xu Qing was very quick-witted. Acting like a hooligan in broad daylight was different from doing something while she was asleep.
After helping Jiang He close the door, he went back to the utility room to take his clothes and wash himself. Then, he returned to the computer and thought about the movie he had just watched.
"Binbin is the big brother of a group of gangsters. He leads these gangsters in front of the statue of Guan Yu, swearing an oath of alliance with wine in place of blood. They regard loyalty as a shared value, but this so-called loyalty is an illusion that can be broken with one poke.
They have a lot of people, but they don't have a well-formed organization, strict discipline, or an industrialized chain of interest. They only rely on the personal prestige of the leader and the vague "loyalty" from the old Jianghu. They are just a mass of loose sand … "
He wrote and stopped, then reopened the movie and dragged the progress bar to watch it repeatedly.
By the time he finished writing the five thousand word article, it was already midnight.
"You're still not sleeping?" The door of the master bedroom opened a gap, and Jiang He's head popped out to look at Xu Qing, who was still sitting in the living room.
He was wearing the same blue pajamas, and there was a can of Coke on the table with a straw.
Humph, a man.
The last time I asked him if he wanted it, he said it was too girly for men to use straws.
"I'm going to sleep."
Xu Qing stretched and stood up with a yawn. "You just slept for a while, and now you can't sleep?"
"No … sleep early."
"You too."
He even knows when to sleep … Xu Qing sighed, turned off the computer, and finished the remaining Coke before returning to his utility room.
If Jiang He's arrival had any impact on his life, it would probably be the formation of good habits. In the past, Xu Qing had always felt that according to his biological clock of being nocturnal, he would definitely age very quickly. By the time he was thirty, his hairline would probably recede a lot, and it would be enough to live to fifty or sixty …
Now, he felt that he could live to eighty and still be energetic.
As for the rest, the impact was not very obvious. If you liked a girl, most people would probably work hard in an attempt to earn more to live a better life. This had little to do with whether you were Jiang He or not.
Lying back on the bed, Xu Qing did not feel sleepy. It had been a long time since he had slept so late. Instead, he was getting more and more energetic. He took out his phone, lowered the volume, and opened a small video.
Recently, the hottest topic was the show of traditional martial arts masters being beaten up by martial arts masters. It was unknown whether it was a publicity stunt or a real challenge. Although masters with brains would know their limits and would not easily accept a challenge to embarrass themselves, they might even believe it if they pretended for too long.
If a martial arts master stood up and launched a counterattack, he would definitely gain a lot of attention. This was a password to wealth … but Xu Qing did not intend to do it.
There was fate between people. Thinking about it carefully, it was just a matter of whether they were suitable or not. If it was a person who only cared about money and had financial freedom, after being taught by Jiang He for so long, he would definitely not be able to resist challenging those martial arts experts, stirring up their popularity, spreading their martial arts and earning a lot of money at the same time …
This was indeed a good idea, but if he was put under the spotlight, the resourceful netizens would dig out the moles on his buttocks, especially when most people did not believe in martial arts. If a young man suddenly appeared and stepped on a martial arts master, he would be suspected of putting on a show, and then he would have to look for evidence. His past experience was not enough to support the image of a traditional martial arts master. Even if they could not find Jiang He by following the clues, there would still be a lot of troublesome problems.
Practicing martial arts was to strengthen one's body, not to show off one's bravery.
In the dark moonless night, the stars were particularly dazzling. Xu Qing raised his hand to his eyes, clenched it slowly in the dark environment, and then closed his eyes.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. There was a small sound coming from the living room outside. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang He practicing swordsmanship. The master bedroom was much bigger than the storage room, so there was more space for her to perform. Her movements were a little bigger, and the three-foot long sword in her hand danced vigorously.
"Do you know the Fart of Slanting Swordsmanship?"
Xu Qing suddenly asked curiously. He quickly went to the bathroom to take a leak in his slippers. When he came out, he sat on the sofa and watched for a while.
Ever since he put the stance practice at night, he did not move around in the morning.
"Bixie Swordsmanship?" Jiang He held the long sword behind his arm and shook his head. "I don't know."
"I'll teach you, just like this."
Of course, Xu Qing did not know any swordsmanship. He took out his phone and opened a mobile game. He manipulated the sculptor to perform a set of swordsmanship for Jiang He to see.
"This is a game." Jiang He looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "I don't know Landslide and Earth Shattering Cut yet."
Landslide and Earth Shattering Cut was the ultimate move of the slayers in the game she was streaming. When the slayer slammed the sword on the ground, lava would splash out, which looked very gorgeous.
"Just this move. Show me."
"Move?"
"Yes."
Jiang He frowned. When he saw the sword move on Xu Qing's mobile game, he suddenly understood what he meant.
Fart Oblique Swordsmanship.
"I don't know." She refused expressionlessly.
"That's easy. Just try it … I'll make breakfast later."
"No, I'll do it."
"I'll do the laundry, I'll wash the dishes, I'll help you move the bricks …"
Looking at Xu Qing's eager eyes, Jiang He was tempted. Anyway, he just wanted to watch …
"Then I'll, I'll practice it."
"Okay!"
Xu Qing turned on the video and aimed it at her. However, Jiang He snatched it away and put it in his pocket. He planned to return it to him after he finished practicing.
"Is that so?"
Jiang He held the long sword and tried to look serious. He returned to his room and stayed far away from Xu Qing. Then, he performed the sculptor's swordsmanship.
Xu Qing's nose became hot.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang He was surprised.
"Nothing … just a small problem." Xu Qing took a paper ball and stuffed it into his nose. He felt awkward and didn't know whether to stand up or sit down.
How could someone develop such a lascivious swordsmanship?
"I think … I'm not feeling well today. You should cook."
Xu Qing thought for a moment and cupped his hands. "I'll do it tomorrow."
Jiang He didn't say anything and put his long sword back into the sheath. Xu Qing looked funny with a paper ball stuffed into his nose, so it was not realistic to cook.
Xu Qing leaned on the sofa and reflected on herself. After breakfast, she sat in front of the computer and helped Jiang He move the bricks. This promise was unavoidable. Jiang He held a book and sat in his usual seat. He read and studied, and from time to time, he took out a pen and ticked it off.
"A Brief History of Time" was too obscure. She threw it aside after a few days. Now, she was reading "How to Learn to Speak with a High Emotional Intelligence" and "Humor and Communication". Some parts were good, and she felt that it was an eye-opener.
In addition, she also followed a bunch of public accounts on WeChat. After being discovered by Xu Qing, she had to help her filter them out, lest there was something like 'Mommy Meng' among them, which would lead a good heroine astray.
Although those who could be led astray were all stupid to begin with, like Jiang He, who was very clever and could not bear the influence of strangers, it was best to avoid them as much as possible. At most, he would leave one or two as negative examples and look at them with a critical gaze.
Moving bricks was very boring. Xu Qing couldn't take it anymore after moving a few accounts. He had the urge to use a cheat code to clear the game. He thought that if he destroyed the account, Jiang He would definitely glare at him. He might even be so angry that he wouldn't let him hug him anymore. He gave up on the idea and thought hard for a long time before he found something serious to do.
He left Jiang He at home and walked outside. The electronic access control at the entrance of the residential area had been installed. Zhao Shu didn't change much. He was still sitting under the big umbrella, but his chair was a little closer to the door. If there was a guy in yellow, he had to register first before he could enter.
"You're going to use the electronic card in May, right?"
"Yes, there's still half a month left. Have you done it? If not, hurry up and do it. "
"Okay, I'll go and have a look."
Xu Qing chatted with Zhao Shu for a while with his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely to the Neighborhood Committee.
The Neighborhood Committee was on the other side of the street. It was neither near nor far. He didn't come here often, but he knew where it was. He walked in and saw Cheng Yulan waiting for someone to fill out a form.
Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised that Cheng Yulan was taking care of this matter. It saved him a lot of trouble. He chatted with her while filling out the form.
Originally, he wanted to fill out one for now and give another one to Jiang He in two days. No matter what the electronic access control was, as long as one was alive, there would always be a way. Moreover, Jiang He had his help, but now he didn't need it anymore.
"Auntie, give me another form. I'll fill it out for her."
"Why isn't she here?"
"I was wandering outside and came here. I'll do it on the way. I don't need to make another trip." Xu Qing took the pen and wrote.
Name: Jiang He.
Age: 19.
Occupation: Freelance worker …
Last year he was 18, and this year he was 19. There was no problem at all. Those tenants had to bring a copy of their ID card and file it. For people like Xu Qing, it was much easier to get his own house. He got two electronic cards.
"Oh, you're only 19." Cheng Yulan looked at it and said with pity, "You can't get married this year."
"Who said we're getting married this year?" Xu Qing was surprised.
"I thought of it myself."
"…"
You're thinking so far ahead.
Xu Qing didn't have the energy to complain. He paused and thought for a while before saying, "We haven't talked enough. We'll get married when we do. Moreover, there's no one in her hometown. She can't make up for her lost identity. When I'm free, I have to accompany her to her hometown."
"There's such a thing?"
"Yes. I haven't been back for a long time. Let's see if we can get a Jiang City household register and move her here."
"You brat … Come on." Cheng Yulan smiled. "Add it to your household register. This daughter is good. She knows how to live."
"She will. She even followed you to collect eggs last time." Xu Qing felt that the lecture wouldn't last long. He had been asked to leave several times in the past. It was all because of this old lady's attitude. If there was something to take, she would take it. If there was something to buy, she would leave.
"Who wouldn't take it for free?"
Cheng Yulan was a little proud. Then she shook her head. "My daughter is too lazy to go. She says it's a waste of time. Eating melon seeds and watching TV every day isn't a waste of time. But going to collect something is a waste of time. Sigh …"
"Alright. You can continue with your work."
Xu Qing saw that there were people coming in from outside. He didn't continue chatting. He got up and prepared to walk back home … He didn't know if Jiang He was almost done with carrying bricks.
When he returned home with two electronic cards, Jiang He was still working hard. His long hair was draped behind him, and he looked very focused.
He was a diligent and thrifty housekeeper.
"Someone praised you today. You know how to live." Xu Qing hung the electronic card on the key and put the other in front of Jiang He.
It was a thin blue plastic sheet with a small hole.
"Who praised me? What is this? "
"This is a key. Isn't there a new gate outside? You'll have to use this to go out next month. Hang it on your key."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang He finished a game. He went to get his key ring. He hung the flat plastic sheet on it and held it up to take a look.
After staying here for a long time, there were more and more of these little things.
"Aunt Cheng praised you. She said we're getting married this year. I asked her who said that. She said she thought of it herself."
Xu Qing smiled. He thought for a while and continued, "You're only 19. According to the law, you can't get married."
Although she was technically an old granny, the bone age test showed that she was as fresh as her straw sandals.
"I can't get married at 19?"
"Yes. You've become an old lady …"
"I'm not an old lady!"
Jiang He was very sensitive to old ladies. She was not old.
