The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Jiang He was like a child who had done something wrong, sitting on the sofa with her head down and picking at her fingers.
"It's already 7: 10."
Xu Qing reminded her a little awkwardly when he came out. Jiang He's gaze drifted, meeting his eyes for a moment before looking away.
"So late?" She reacted the next moment, bouncing up from the sofa and sitting in front of the computer.
She didn't even know what she had done just now. Only when it was over did she realize that there seemed to be something going on between the two of them.
Jiang He sneaked a glance at Xu Qing, took a deep breath, muttered under her breath, and logged into her game account.
"Young people are a part of the strength of the entire society, the most active and energetic force. They are the most willing to learn and the least conservative, especially in the era of socialism. "
"With knowledge, it's like standing on a mountain, you can see a lot of things far away. Without knowledge, it's like walking in a dark ditch, unable to find anything, it'll be miserable … "
"What are you talking about?" Xu Qing's gaze shifted to the side, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"No, nothing."
"Then I … won't stand today, be my chainmail."
Xu Qing touched his nose, ignoring Jiang He's nagging. He found a pile of tools from the side, and took out the upright clothes rack from the storage room. The sleeves of the chainmail were hung on it, the surface gleaming with a metallic luster, extremely heavy.
He didn't expect to be touched by Jiang He … Both of them, one touching his leg in silence, the other moving around with curiosity and a little excitement. They only reacted when they were done.
They needed to calm down.
Xu Qing sat by the side, pinching a few metal rings. When he heard the music, he looked up and saw more than 20 people waiting. The moment the broadcast started, the bullet screen floated.
[Finally here! ]
[I thought I stood him up …]
[Late, late! Where's the standing punishment bro? ]
Politely waving the pliers in his hand, Xu Qing said casually, "Today I'll show you how to pinch a chainmail."
[What?! ]
[Not standing punishment anymore? ]
[What's going on today? ]
[Watch out, watch out. This is a live streaming room …]
Jiang He looked at Xu Qing's interaction with the audience and glanced at him faintly. He moved his mouse and began his PK journey in the arena.
She was wearing an ugly Christmas hat and a trash hand cannon that was given to her by a friend. She had been showing off what it meant to be a flashy way to scrape people to death, but today, she was unable to scrape people to death.
Perhaps it was because his mind was in a mess, he lost the first round of the duel. He took two Landslide Slashes from his opponent head-on, and the lava that erupted from his body engulfed Jiang He's female gunner. In the end, he let out a blood-curdling scream.
Casually picking up a piece of sweet potato and putting it into her mouth, she began the second duel as if she was playing alone. She had already ignored the nonsense of Xu Qing and the audience beside her.
Jiang He had already realized that he was the tool.
"This is the opening ring. Hold the four rings together and squeeze them tightly. Like this … then extend the four rings on the sides." Xu Qing demonstrated it like he did in a video, explaining to the audience what he was going to do.
Hu Tong rubbed his chin and studied it for a moment. Looking at the place where Xu Qing had been standing, there was now a clothes rack with iron sleeves hanging from it. Suddenly, he perked up.
Hu Tong: [Host, are you from a family of generals?! Wearing armor after practicing martial arts? ]
Regaining his former glory? Was he also an avid armor enthusiast?
"That's right. My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather … many generations before him was Xu Chu. He left behind the Tiger Fool Fist at home, the one I practiced before.
To practice the fist, one must first train the waist. The waist is the focus of the entire force. The force starts from the ground, originates from the legs, and dominates the waist. First, the waist must be loosened, sunk, and rotated. Then, the strength can reach the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands … "
Xu Qing talked nonsense with a straight face. His words sounded like they were real, and it really managed to fool many people. At the same time, his hands did not stop. He connected the iron rings one by one, and the other sleeve was already halfway done.
[So the host's surname is Xu …]
[Are you brother and sister streaming? ]
[This is obviously a manual for Taiji Fist, right?] The idiotic netizens knew everything, but a moment later, someone came out to question.
"All the martial arts in the world have changed, but all the fist techniques are the same."
After getting used to it, he did not need to keep an eye on it all the time. Xu Qing looked at Jiang He's game, then at the live stream, talking nonsense and bragging. It was very leisurely.
It actually looked like a live stream. Although the number of people watching was not as many as a few days ago, the activity level had greatly increased.
"We are boyfriend and girlfriend. This is my boyfriend." The tool Jiang He sharply caught the bullet screen that had mixed in in the middle.
[666, but I feel like something is wrong.] ]
[Isn't it normal for the boyfriend to play games while the girlfriend eats snacks and does other things?] ]
[When has this live stream ever been normal? Have you seen a live stream that is punished to stand and make armor?] ]
[That's true …]
Rows of bullet screens floated by. Jiang He did not say anything else. He had completely become a tool, playing his own game without saying a word.
However, she was unlucky. In the second round, she encountered a cheat, who used a knife to hack like a mad dog. In the third round, she encountered a rich guy who used a nuclear bomb, and while running, he used a big skill to knock her to death.
On her fair and tender little feet hung a slipper, swaying gently under the chair. Xu Qing took a look, then another look, then another look …
He could not take it anymore. He was streaming.
Xu Qing adjusted his state. The number of people in the live stream was a little low. Although the iron hoop was novel to the previous viewers, it was not very friendly to the new viewers, so the retention rate was not high. After doing it for half an hour, he packed up his things, moved the clothes rack away, stretched his limbs, and began practicing his stance.
[He's here, he's here. The man who was punished to stand is here! ]
[Zhong Kui, wax figure, young girl, the famous scene reappears! ]
"Can you guys watch me play?" Jiang He could not help but ask while chewing on a sweet potato chip.
Yogurt girl: [I'm watching, I'm watching. I've been watching! ]
Lan Qiu: [I've watched both … But the host is a little tired today. You've lost so many times. Is it difficult to play at a higher level, or is your state not good? ]
"I …"
Jiang He turned back to look at Xu Qing. The tips of her ears were a little red, and she tried to maintain a serious expression. "I'm not used to the high scores. I won't do it again."
She swallowed the sweet potato chip in her mouth, crossed her legs, and took a deep breath. Before the end of the one-hour live stream, she had won five times in a row and ended the live stream with a barrage of "666" comments.
Her whole body relaxed as she leaned against the chair. Jiang He glanced at Xu Qing, who was finishing his stance and exhaling. She hugged her feet and lowered her head.
How could something like that happen …
"Do you want to watch a movie?" Xu Qing asked.
"No!" Jiang He shook her head fiercely.
"Fine, I won't watch it. But I have to tell you, I didn't pee my pants."
"…"
Jiang He did not say anything. Her eyes swept across his body and drifted downwards. Suddenly, she got up from the chair and ran back to the room.
Xu Qing sat back on the sofa with mixed feelings. He picked up the computer and pondered for a moment. Then, he opened the app and started to browse the new TV series that had just been released.
It was normal for a boyfriend and girlfriend.
A clear conscience.
A clean slate.
"You …"
Jiang He poked his head out of the bedroom and stared at Xu Qing. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"You want to watch a movie?"
"No, it's just …" Jiang He coughed twice and said with some hesitation, "My shoes …"
"I'll never do anything strange to your shoes!"
"Oh, why are you so loud?"
Jiang He looked at him carefully. After he finished speaking, he retracted his head and closed the door.
Facing the closed door, Xu Qing took a deep breath.
It seemed like he had been hit by a mental blow.
…
Jiang He lay on the bed and stared at her phone. She reached out and tapped on the screen with her fingers. The expression on her face changed, and finally, she covered her face with her hands.
It was very hot.
What did she do?
