When he was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door.
It seemed to be the first time Jiang He had knocked on his door in the middle of the night. Xu Qing's body trembled. What was to come would come.
Was it finally coming after searching for childbirth problems?
"This is almost finished. The name I found on the internet is the same, but it looks different."
The computer in the living room had been turned off. It looked like he was about to sleep. Jiang He held the hand cream given by Zhou Suzhi in one hand and the phone in the other. It was the same brand that Jiang He had found on Taobao. "Do you have the same one?"
Seeing Xu Qing staring at her, Jiang He took a small step back. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"It's nothing. I'm just looking for the same one …"
Seeing that Xu Qing had found the same one in the official flagship store, Jiang He leaned over to have a look. The price made her heart ache.
"Auntie's gift is so expensive?"
"You should call me Mom."
"…"
Before Jiang He could say anything, he was about to place an order. Jiang He quickly reached out to stop him. "Wait, I'll use that Dabao."
"Dabao is for me. You use this."
"Then I'll buy it myself."
"You … Alright."
Xu Qing returned the phone to her. Anyway, the address was the default. Jiang He had bought a grocery basket for her last time.
"Don't be reluctant to use it. Your hands are getting smoother."
"Oh."
Jiang He responded. She lowered her head and turned around. Then she looked back again. Xu Qing was still standing at the door. She thought for a moment and went over to push Xu Qing into his room. Then she closed the door for him.
Back in her room, Jiang He looked at the price on the phone and the hand cream. She hesitated for a long time. She touched her small hands. They had indeed become smoother.
These days, she had applied it once every morning and night. It still smelled good.
She carefully squeezed out the remaining bit and applied it on her hands. After rubbing it hard for a long time, she looked at the phone and fell into deep thought.
It was the same when he used Big Treasure …
The bed in Xu Qing's room was very big and soft. When he turned off the lights and laid down, it was not like in the storeroom where he could reach the edge of the bed with one hand. He then reached out and touched the other edge of the bed. Jiang He turned on his phone again and looked at it for a while. He thought about the feeling of leaning in Xu Qing's arms on the sofa and slowly hugged the quilt.
It was really comfortable to have their arms pressed together. For a moment, she even wanted to take off Xu Qing's pajamas.
She was a heroine. How could she do such a thing?
…
Early the next morning, Xu Qing practiced with his sword for half an hour. He felt good about himself, but he still couldn't make a sound like Jiang He. He could only feel it.
This was a basic skill that required skill to transfer power to the tip of the sword. Learning it would not make one an expert immediately, but it was necessary.
Qin Hao seemed to have been busy all night before getting off work. He happily called Xu Qing.
"I found out I have a special ability." There was a little excitement in his voice.
"What special ability?"
"Words of gold and jade! When I got on the car with the prince, I joked that if I went out with you guys, I might bump into something and grab it … "
"A blind mouse bumping into a dead cat."
Xu Qing held the sword and turned it around slowly. On the other side, Qin Hao definitely wouldn't have thought that he was playing with a three-foot-long weapon.
Eh, the script seemed to be going in the direction of the fateful battle …
"What nonsense! I'm serious. That time at the KTV, I mentioned it to my colleagues before I went out. Maybe I would bump into someone I knew, and then I bumped into you guys. And when I first came to work … "Qin Hao said enthusiastically.
"Are you sure you didn't jinx it?"
"Words of gold and jade!"
"Fine, fine. If you don't have money to spend, you can take a piece of gold from your mouth.
What did you catch last night? What did you do? "
"It's … it's just a scammer."
"Pfft."
Xu Qing didn't believe a word of it. Was a scammer worthy of his reaction? It was as if he had bumped into a natural enemy.
He hung up the phone.
After rejecting Qin Hao's invitation to eat again, Xu Qing guessed that this guy wanted to catch something else halfway through his meal. This stupid black fatty was like a turkey, still trying to find a pattern from random events. Words of gold and jade …
"You're the one with a golden mouth. Your little mouth looks like it's smeared with honey." Xu Qing said to Jiang He.
“？”
Jiang He couldn't understand what he was saying without rhyme or reason.
"I'm using a sword, and you're bare-handed. Can I beat you?"
"Do you want to try?"
"No, I'm just asking."
Xu Qing didn't want to use his sword to cut her, regardless of whether he could beat her or not. There was no benefit if he lost, and his heart would ache if he won. This was something only an idiot would do.
He held the sword and practiced for another half an hour. He rubbed his palms and practiced a set of boxing. He felt his body come to life, and his muscles and bones loosened. Then, he packed up and brought Jiang He home.
Back to Xu Wenbin's place.
Living in a city, one had to go back from time to time. Once a month, Xu Qing felt that it was already very frequent. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have much money, he even wanted to buy a house in other places, such as Luoyang City. That way, he wouldn't have to go home every once in a while.
Xu Qing was still wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. Jiang He didn't show her white arms, but put on a white sunscreen shirt over the shirt. It looked very fashionable, and this was what Xu Qing had helped her with.
He was very happy with Miracle Nuannuan's game, and he even downloaded a few girl's clothing apps on his phone.
"Try not to have more than three colors on your clothes. If you have more than three colors, you'll look a little impetuous and rustic. There won't be any elegance at all. It's good to look like this."
"I like to wear black."
"You can wear those black socks, and only wear them at home. I'll buy you a pair of shorts, so it'll be very cool in the summer."
"Forget it then."
Although Jiang He liked silky smooth clothes, when she thought about how Xu Qing would touch them, she gave up.
"If you see something you like, you can buy it yourself. I'm giving you a lesson so that you can choose for yourself."
"The clothes I buy aren't as good as the ones you buy." Jiang He sighed softly.
Although she really wanted to buy all her clothes herself, she had to admit that the clothes she bought were very rustic. Just like what Xu Qing said, it was best not to have more than a few colors on a piece of clothing … The clothes she bought were colorful, and she didn't realize it when she bought them. Later, when she was reminded by Xu Qing, she realized that those were the clothes that Auntie Cheng and the others liked to wear at their age.
Just like that, their dependence unknowingly formed … Jiang He held Xu Qing's hand and swung it back and forth. Facing the late spring sun, she slightly narrowed her eyes.
Should she call him Auntie later? Or should she call him Mom?
It would be very embarrassing. The two of them weren't married yet.
When they got home, Zhou Suzhi didn't go out to play mahjong. Instead, she stayed at home to clean the house.
"Hello, Auntie." Jiang He greeted. When Xu Qing squeezed her hand, she calmly squeezed back.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
"He won't be back for a few days."
"Oh."
Xu Wenbin's work was mainly research and rescue protection. He didn't excitedly carry a shovel to dig up every grave he saw. This kind of work was troublesome and time-consuming. He also had to hold expert meetings to research and report. If he went out of town, it was normal for him to not be back for ten days to half a month.
What a pity …
Xu Qing wanted to see how Jiang He would react if he called Xu Wenbin dad. In the end, Jiang He couldn't call him dad, and Xu Wenbin wasn't there either.
"Why don't cell phones have a removable battery? Just like a flashlight, you can just put the battery in and use it. "
Last night, Jiang He hugged the quilt and thought about things. She unknowingly fell asleep and forgot to charge her cell phone. Now that she took it out, it showed that the battery was low.
"Removable battery?" Xu Qing's expression became a little strange.
If she remembered correctly, in the past, cell phones with removable batteries were everywhere. There was also something called a universal charger. But now, the so-called universal charger was completely useless.
If she looked for it, she should still be able to find it … Xu Qing thought of the pile of junk in her storeroom.
"It would be great if you could figure out this problem yourself." Xu Qing took her cell phone and looked at it. He thought about it and said, "Actually, cell phones used to be removable. Later on, it became like this."
In her memory, the iPhone 4 became non-removable. Maybe it was even earlier, but Xu Qing hadn't come into contact with it. He only remembered that it was popular back then. Then, from then on, removable products were slowly eliminated.
However, Xu Qing didn't tell Jiang He about this. He handed his cell phone to Jiang He and let her play with it. Then, he got up and went to Xu Wenbin's study.
Jiang He had to learn to find and solve problems on her own. She had to cultivate her self-learning ability. She shouldn't ask him out of habit. Just like the last time he asked Santa Claus, he preferred Jiang He to find the answer for this kind of question that could be easily answered by Baidu. So, he made up a story. Then, if she wanted to know, she would naturally find the answer.
"Don't you know how to Baidu?" This kind of thing was very hurtful, but she was used to being a troublemaker. It was not good for her growth at all.
Xu Wenbin's study was mostly filled with information. There were also a pile of books and manuscripts on the bookshelves. The important things were locked in the cabinet, and the things outside could be read at will. Xu Qing didn't know when he became interested in history. He sat in the chair that Xu Wenbin often sat and casually flipped through it.
The morning passed quickly. When he came out for lunch, Jiang He had already sat down and handed the cell phone back to him. The wallpaper had been changed.
It was originally a photo of Jiang He dressed like a penguin in winter. Now it had been replaced with a silhouette of him wearing a thin coat and fishing by the river. His long hair was tied behind him. He was holding a fishing rod in one hand and his cheek in the other as he stared at the river.
Zhou Suzhi saw him come out and asked casually, "What are you doing in the study?"
"Looking at history and understanding the heritage of the nation."
"Just you?"
"What do you mean just me? This is the genes of our old Xu family. We all like antiques."
Xu Qing said as he washed his hands. When he came back, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Without Xu Wenbin around, the atmosphere was a little less lively.
"Look at that Xu Xian. She likes a thousand-year-old demon. My dad likes thousand-year-old ancient tombs. I, hehe."
"Nonsense. What about you?" Zhou Suzhi rolled her eyes at him and turned to Jiang He. "Eat more. Don't listen to his nonsense. That's a relic, what tomb …"
Jiang He secretly glanced at Xu Qing. She had long heard that Xu Xian married a python demon.
"It's hot now. Eat more bitter gourd to clear the heat. You guys should eat more over there. Don't eat greasy food. Soak it in salt before cooking. It won't be so bitter …"
"Don't bitter gourds have to suffer?" Jiang He came back to her senses and couldn't help but say.
"Huh?" Zhou Suzhi was stunned.
"Hahaha. That's right. If it's not bitter, you might as well buy cucumbers and cook them." Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh. The way Jiang He asked Zhou Suzhi was too cute.
"Mom, she can cook more dishes than you now. She's studying how to cook delicious food for me every day. She's a fast learner."
"Look at what you can do."
Zhou Suzhi finally understood. Every time Xu Qing came back, he came to show off this girlfriend to Xu Wenbin. When Xu Wenbin wasn't around, he would show off to her.
"Don't mess up your dad's study. When he comes back, he will jump up and scold you."
"No, I will restore it after reading. I don't have the habit of throwing it around."
Xu Qing ate and drank to his heart's content. He went into the study again to read the unofficial history of Empress Wu Zetian.
He didn't expect his father, who was so gentle, to actually study such things.
He didn't know if it was because of Jiang He, but he was very curious about the past of the Tang Dynasty. He also felt that Kung Fu was a little unrealistic. Could it be that the legends of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all true?
Li Shimin defeated 100,000 soldiers with 3,000 soldiers, won a great victory at Hulao Pass, captured Dou Jiande, and became a god in one battle. If he brought 3,000 soldiers with him, this kind of person might really be able to deal with ordinary people.
With one strike of the hammer, the enemy would be scared out of their wits. If 3,000 people charged at the same time, it would probably be similar to a tank crushing the enemy.
The door of the study was quietly opened. Jiang He walked in and came to Xu Qing's side. Seeing that Xu Qing was studying the historical materials, he casually looked around.
"Are there history books here?"
"Yes, you can read whatever you want. But remember where you took it from. Put it back after reading. Otherwise, when my dad wants to read it, he won't be able to find it."
"Oh."
Jiang He responded and didn't move. He leaned on the table next to him and read the books on the table.
She learned everything about modern times, and Xu Qing learned everything about ancient times. Looking sideways at Xu Qing, Jiang He felt inexplicably strange.
Zhou Suzhi looked inside from outside the door. One of them was sitting, and the other was leaning so close to each other that their bodies were almost touching. She shook her head and helped them close the door.
Hearing the door open, Jiang He looked back. After thinking for a while, she didn't look at the old Tang book in Xu Qing's hand anymore. She opened the manuscript in his hand and casually glanced at it. Suddenly, she blushed.
This was the unofficial history that Xu Qing kept aside when he noticed her coming in.
"Why do you read this kind of thing?"
"Ah?" Xu Qing pretended to be ignorant. After a pause, he suddenly remembered where this was. He couldn't tell her that this was Xu Wenbin's collection …
"Ahem … This is a very serious historical study. Please don't look at it with colored glasses."
Jiang He spat and put down the unofficial history in her hand. She stared at him with a stiff face. "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
She was very happy when she saw Xu Qing learning about ancient knowledge. It turned out that he was reading this kind of thing.
"How can it be nonsense? Do you know what a male toy is? "Xu Qing opened the book and asked her seriously.
"It's … it's …"
Jiang He held it in for a long time, but she really couldn't say anything.
It was like she knew that her feet shouldn't be touched by others, but she couldn't say why she couldn't.
She only knew that it was very obscene.
Lecher!
"Come, come, come. Let me teach you how to look at the things that have happened in history with a normal perspective."
Xu Qing pulled Jiang He a few times, but he couldn't move her. He put down the book and put his arms around her, letting her sit on his lap.
"You're scaring me."
"… Then you'd better stand up."
Xu Qing said faintly. As a young man in his twenties, there were many things that he couldn't control.
"These are all historical materials. There are a lot of them from the Tang Dynasty. Maybe you can find traces of your stockade village from them. Second Mother's martial arts is so high. Maybe you can find some historical materials from there, like the Red Horsetail Whisk Woman or First Madame Gongsun."
Xu Wenbin's study room was a treasure house. Although most of Xu Qing's historical knowledge was limited to various historical novels and TV dramas, it didn't affect him to study it seriously.
