It rained the whole night. The next day, it still didn't clear up. Instead, it looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Jiang He leaned on the windowsill and stared blankly at the curtain of rain outside.
"If it gets any heavier, it will be almost the same as the day I came."
"It's like this in May and June."
"It's much cooler."
"When the rain stops, it will be the real summer." Xu Qing looked out of the window.
June was coming. There would be a heavy rain, and the sun would start to show its power in the next few days.
Jiang City was a horrible place. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. In summer, the air on the asphalt road would be distorted by the high temperature.
In the afternoon, the rain became heavier, and they could feel the chill. Jiang He held the big black umbrella — the one that Xu Qing had lent her outside the door. She carried her own small basket to go out to buy vegetables, while Xu Qing held the small broken umbrella that she had given him when she attended the health lecture.
The quality was too poor. The small folding umbrella seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Xu Qing was a little dissatisfied with this. It was love to buy vegetables together on rainy days and share an umbrella. It seemed very intimate.
"It's raining, but you still insist on huddling together. Are you afraid that you won't get wet?" Jiang He said.
"But it's normal to do stupid things in love."
Xu Qing followed her desolately. Looking at the rain flowing down from the eaves along the street, he changed the topic and said, "Can you dance with your sword so that the rain can't get in? Can you walk around in the rain with your sword and not get wet? "
"No."
"Is it possible in theory?"
"Not in theory."
Jiang He stretched her hand out of the umbrella and felt it. "If it's possible, you will see me that day, and not like a drowned rat."
Drowned rat …
Xu Qing laughed. He really did look like him. Back then, he was skinny and fierce. He didn't look gentle at all.
Time passed too fast. In the blink of an eye, it was almost a year. After autumn, winter, and spring, it was now summer.
"Jiang He."
"Yes?"
"I'll help you carry the basket."
They bought groceries together and went home. Jiang He shook off the rainwater on the umbrella, propped it against the door, and carried the groceries into the kitchen.
After chopping for a while with the kitchen knife, she turned to look at Xu Qing, who was leaning against the door, and slowly stopped.
"The more I think about it, the more it feels wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Did you pick up a kitchen maid?"
"I think you're just looking for an excuse not to study. Even if you want to be a kitchen maid, you still have to study and do questions. You can't run away from it."
Xu Qing mercilessly exposed her. Sometimes, this old lady was really cunning.
She returned to the living room and sat down. She wanted to play a song and listen to it, but Jiang He's computer was very tightly guarded. She could only plug her computer's sound system into her own laptop.
"Actually, you don't need to lock it. I won't go through your computer."
"Don't you think you're trying to say that?"
Jiang He's voice came from the kitchen.
"No, I'm just explaining this matter. Of course, I admit that I've seen you ask some strange questions on Baidu before. Because at that time, your knowledge was not perfect, it was easy for you to be led astray by messy things … I'm observing your growth out of responsibility and worry."
Xu Qing looked for a song on the music player and explained, "It's like an old father asking the class teacher what his daughter will do in school. Besides, I'm worried that you'll have some misunderstanding and run away with your bag at night, suffering from the cold and hunger outside."
"What about now?" Jiang He poked his head out of the kitchen and asked.
"Now that you've integrated into this place, you have the ability to live independently, your own knowledge and thoughts, and you have privacy. Of course, I'll respect your privacy.
Also, I apologize for peeking at your search records a long time ago, no matter what the reason was. "
"Something's wrong with you."
Jiang He stared at him suspiciously. "Nothing would have happened if you didn't mention it. Why are you doing this? … And you're still saying that you didn't want to peek? "
Although she had repeatedly confirmed that there was no way to retrieve the playback records once they were erased, she was still a little worried that it would be dug out.
"No, this matter has to be brought up. This is a matter of respect and privacy. No matter how close we are, we'll have our own space. This is very normal.
Only by guarding against me like you can you ensure your own space and privacy. There's no such logic in this world. This is wrong, understand? "
"Although I don't think it's necessary … Fine, I accept your apology." Jiang He thought for a while and the corners of his mouth curled up. "I won't be angry whether you say it or not."
"Trust is the foundation of a relationship."
"You like to reason with people."
"Of course, I have to reason with people I like. I'm too lazy to reason with strangers. If there's something I'm unhappy with, I can just ignore it. Anyway, we won't be together often."
"So, it's to be together for a long time?"
"The details determine success or failure."
"In a while, I'll stand on the stool and bang you against the wall." Jiang He rolled up his sleeves, pointed at him, and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
"I'm so scared."
Xu Qing leaned back on the sofa and laughed.
The personality that Jiang He showed made him feel more comfortable than the background of Millennium.
The computer was playing a song that a certain chef sang out of interest after work.
"Under the umbrella in the forest
You and I walk under the umbrella hand in hand
The hidden guest on the bamboo scares the birds and crows
Quickly decide who's better, the moment the sword is swung ~
Return home in the sheath
You smile and brew the spring stream grass tea
The son falls, the rain falls on the roof of the mandarin duck
Years of companionship, the heart will not melt ~ "
"Maybe we were like this in our previous life, strolling on the street with an umbrella, and then someone wanted to murder me, and you pulled out your sword and saved me."
"How is there a previous life?"
"Not necessarily, this is called a drink and a peck, could it be predetermined? You saved me in the past, this time I picked you up, reincarnation."
"You're so weird, come over and peel the garlic."
"Oh."
Xu Qing, who was imagining a wuxia version of the plot, got up from the sofa.
…
Xu Qing's prediction was right, the rain turned heavy at night, and it rained heavily for half the night. When it cleared up the next day, the temperature rose sharply.
Summer arrived.
Ever since Qin Hao met an unknown suspect at dinner last time, he seemed to be addicted and wandered outside every day — it was also because Qin Maocai was making armor at home. When he thought of Xu Qing and Qin Maocai doing the same thing at their respective homes, he felt a little inexplicably unhappy. After work, he would go back for a meal, and when he had nothing to do, he would wander outside.
Xu Qing couldn't resist Qin Hao's shouting every day, and sometimes he would go out with him to have a meal, acting as a tool.
According to Qin Hao, it was only when Xu Qing was around that his Corvine Mouth took effect. It was very likely that Xu Qing's special physique would unconsciously cause trouble, and when combined with his Corvine Mouth, everything would be fine.
"I'm not the main character of a comic book, dying wherever I go. You should look for Conan." Xu Qing couldn't help but complain.
"I'm just bored, so I'm out for a walk. You see, all of you have girlfriends, can't you take care of a lonely old man like me?"
"Wait for Chinese Valentine's Day, I'll order a toad for you to croak for a while."
Xu Qing wandered on the street with his pockets in his hands, and when he saw a stall, he would stop to take a look.
"This hair clip is not bad."
"Eh, these sunglasses are good."
"Sun hat …"
Qin Hao looked at him without saying a word.
…
It was June, and the weather was hot.
Xu Qing stuffed a cabinet full of popsicles in the fridge, and told Jiang He not to eat too much.
Relying on her good physique, Jiang He went to the fridge to get a sweet potato when she was thirsty. She didn't go out in broad daylight, wearing slippers and pajamas, and wandered between the living room and the bedroom.
She had already experienced the joy of freedom that Xu Qing talked about. She didn't need to worry about what to eat and where to eat next.
Of course, there was also the electric fan.
When she was tired of doodling on the textbook, she put the book on the sofa, stepped on it, and stood in front of the fan to enjoy the wind.
"Wah wah wah wah wah …"
"Xu ~ Qing ~ What ~ Are ~ You ~ Doing ~ Ah ~"
After playing with the electric fan for a while, Jiang He didn't feel bored.
It was only when Xu Qing wasn't around that he could play whatever he wanted to. He couldn't let him see this childish side of him.
She received a photo from Xu Qing. It was a pair of sunglasses. She put the popsicle in her mouth and wrote on the phone. Then she threw the phone to the side, looked at the computer, and looked at the door.
Sneakily looking at the window, Jiang He waved her hand and closed the curtains. Then she turned off the computer sound, opened the mysterious folder with a little excitement, and looked at it with her eyes wide open.
This was her future husband's secret.
Xu Qing was a pervert. There was such a thing in the computer.
…
In the evening, when Xu Qing came back, Jiang He was sitting on a small stool, reading hard.
"An old friend left Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went to Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail was far away in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River flowed in the sky. "
Seeing Jiang He reading with his head swaying, Xu Qing was quite satisfied. "You don't need to memorize this, just look at it. You can skip the poetry questions in the exercise book."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang He also felt that there was no need to memorize it. These were not math questions, and it seemed useless to memorize it. It would only show that he was a little more cultured.
"Li Bai is so powerful. There are still records of him after more than a thousand years." Jiang He sighed.
"You know him?"
"I met him once, and we exchanged some pointers."
"Exchanged pointers?" Xu Qing was surprised. He thought for a while and did not say anything.
This little old lady was in the pugilistic world and wanted to save face. Maybe she was beaten up.
In the third year of the Kaiyuan era, Li Bai was 15 years old. He had already written many poems and started to engage in social activities. He also started to be influenced by Taoism. He liked swordsmanship and was a hero.
According to this, Jiang He was about 10 years younger than him …
"Seeing these people being printed in the language book, I feel very magical." Jiang He put down the book.
"I also feel that it is magical."
"Really?"
"Yes. Just imagine waking up and seeing Haozi and the others being printed in the book, becoming the area police from a thousand years ago, with several major events being recorded. I can understand that feeling."
Xu Qing said casually. He took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and gave it to her. "If you travel … no, if you go out for a stroll, wear this and a sunhat."
He looked out of the window. "Why did you draw the curtains?"
"Ah? It's too hot. When the sun shines in, I have to cover it. "Jiang He put on the sunglasses and looked around as if nothing had happened.
"You don't need to wear it at home. It's almost night … If it's hot at night, you can turn on the air conditioner."
"How do I turn on the air conditioner?"
"I'll teach you. Come."
He brought Jiang He into her room and found the remote control. Xu Qing pressed the button a few times to teach her how to adjust the temperature. It was about 24 or 25 degrees Celsius now.
It was extremely hot in Jiangcheng.
"I don't think you have this in your room." Jiang He reached out to feel the cold air from the air conditioner and turned her head.
"I don't need it."
"Let's change back. I'm not afraid of the heat."
"Just stay here. How can you change places every day?"
Xu Qing said righteously and turned off the air conditioner. He did not want to talk nonsense with her.
After a pause, he looked at the ground. "It's too hot. I'll sleep on the floor here …"
"…"
"…"
"Haha, it's actually not that hot." Xu Qing waved his hand and looked away. He saw two long socks hanging by the window and was stunned. He lowered his head to look at Jiang He's legs.
"When are you going to wear …"
"Wait." Jiang He interrupted him. She took off the socks and hid them behind her. "What did you say just now?"
"… You're so boring." Xu Qing complained, "I'm not a pervert. I bought them to wear. Why are you hiding them?"
"You also wear them secretly."
Jiang He's words made Xu Qing's face twitch. "How can you accuse me?"
"I saw it that time." Jiang He put his hands behind his back and said confidently.
"When?"
"That time you washed your socks on the balcony in the morning."
"That was … Wait, you were sneaking around because you wanted to wash them, right?" Xu Qing thought of that day and frowned. "You can't accuse me of doing the same just because you wanted to wash them secretly."
"Then why were you sneaking around?"
"I …"
Facing Jiang He's gaze, Xu Qing had nothing to say.
"I'm not sneaking around. If you want to wear them, then wear them. If you don't want to wear them, then don't wear them."
He turned around and went out of the living room to continue making the iron basket. He was thinking that he should buy some other colors. One day, he would wear them.
Logically speaking, he should not be so conflicted. The two of them kissed and hugged each other as if nothing had happened. What was Jiang He so conflicted about?
Was he afraid that he would do something …
"I can't beat you. What are you worried about? You even hugged my bare legs. Why would you be afraid of wearing socks?"
"What if you lick me? It's not like I can sew your mouth shut. "
"How could I do that kind of thing?"
"Why not?"
Jiang He's expression did not change. She had already seen through him. Wearing strange clothes meant that he was ready to do some bad things.
"You even kissed my feet last time."
"…"
"You can't fool me." Jiang He pinched her ears. They were a little hot.
So there were so many strange ways to play. So bad.
She was ready to glare at this person.
"Hurry up and study. There are so many exercises in the exercise book that have not been done." Xu Qing pulled out her trump card from under the coffee table and took out the math book.
"I don't want to."
"You have to study."
"I don't want to do math." Jiang He's face turned bitter. She lowered her head and picked at her fingers.
"You violent heroine, can you not put on such an aggrieved look?" Xu Qing frowned. "It's so fake."
"I don't want to do it!"
Jiang He raised her head. She raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists.
"If you ask me to do math again, I'll hit you!"
