The living room was quiet. Only the people in the movie were talking. The screen flickered with the lines of the movie. Other than that, it was as if nothing had happened.
It was dark. Indeed, nothing had happened.
Halfway through the movie, Xu Qing suddenly sighed heavily.
Jiang He paused and stared at the movie attentively.
When she heard Xu Qing leave the sofa, she secretly turned her head and looked at Xu Qing's back. Her big eyes blinked, and she was a little flustered.
Just what had she done …?
After a while, Xu Qing sat back down and held Jiang He's legs again. He gently massaged her calves.
There was silence.
When the movie ended, Xu Qing turned on the lights and turned to look at Jiang He.
Jiang He's expression was calm. He rested his chin on his fingers and recalled the movie.
"I …"
"Shut up."
Alright. Xu Qing stopped talking. He sat back down and shrank the movie window. He glanced at Jiang He who was curled up on the sofa and opened Word.
It was just a little help … It's not a big deal. Yes, it's not a big deal.
Xu Qing tried to convince himself.
He swore that he wanted to refuse at first …
He shouldn't let a heroine do such a thing. It really shouldn't be.
"Why don't you write?"
Jiang He couldn't help but ask when she saw his hands on the keyboard for a long time.
She knew that Xu Qing was preparing to write a movie review. She also liked to watch Xu Qing type a long article. This was already a habit. Every time they finished watching a movie together, Xu Qing would write a review. Then, before Jiang He went to his mobile phone to read the article he posted on the platform before going to bed at night. Then, he would reflect on the movie and go to bed.
"I can't write it," Xu Qing said.
"You didn't watch it at all?"
"No, I've watched it several times."
Even though he had watched it several times, he still enjoyed the second half of the movie. If he wanted to write a movie review, there was nothing to write about it.
To be precise, it wasn't that there was nothing to write about, but that there was too much to write about. There was a paragraph here and there, and it was difficult to sort it out.
After thinking about it, Xu Qing closed Word and stopped writing.
"This doesn't seem to be profitable." Jiang He played with the corner of his shirt with his toes. Xu Qing had changed into a set of pajamas halfway through the movie.
"It's not that I can't make money from this, it's that I haven't made any money from this."
"Haven't you been writing for a long time?"
"Writing for a long time doesn't necessarily mean you'll make money. Nothing is guaranteed to be successful. If it were that easy, wouldn't everyone be able to do it?" Xu Qing pinched Jiang He's toes and turned around to get some iron rings and pliers to make a small metal basket for Jiang He.
The bottom of the basket had been made, and he only needed to enclose it and make a handle.
Jiang He nestled on the sofa and looked at him. There was a kind of tipsy comfort in the quiet night.
The clock ticked, second by second, and White Gourd leaned lazily into her arms.
"You said before, that … what human beings need to solve … what needs." Jiang He finally found an excuse for what had just happened. He lowered his head and rubbed White Gourd's head.
"Well, human beings have needs. This is determined by their physiological structure. That between a boyfriend and a girlfriend … is very normal." Xu Qing nodded hurriedly. He didn't want Jiang He to have any more misunderstandings. Now he had enough perverted labels on his head.
After a pause, he added, "Innocent."
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
Clean and innocent?
Why did it sound like Xu Qing was mocking her? Jiang He hugged White Gourd and twisted his waist with her toes.
"Hiss ~"
Xu Qing took a deep breath and pulled her leg into his arms. "You're becoming more and more like a modern person."
"Hmph."
"Do you want me to help you too …" Xu Qing's head twitched as he held her leg and asked.
Turning his head, Jiang He's eyebrows were raised.
"I don't need it!"
"Actually, this is very normal. Don't feel embarrassed …"
Xu Qing felt a murderous aura and immediately shut up.
He had decided. He would make up for the sword and fist that he didn't practice today.
"Have you reflected on why you can make money?" he asked.
"A little bit. I've looked up the feelings you mentioned. This game is a different game from many years ago. It's just that the characters are similar. Everything else has changed. Then, you taught me how to knock on the keyboard, and it's very easy to resonate with people. It's the same with Chou Chou's wings …"
"You're that good?"
"Uh … actually, I asked someone else." Jiang He lowered his head in shame.
"Who did you ask?" Xu Qing was even more surprised. There was another teacher?
"That yogurt girl. She added me on WeChat. She's a girl with very long and beautiful hair …"
Jiang He gestured with his hand. Her hair was indeed very long. "I saw her on her WeChat Moments."
"Oh." Xu Qing thought about it and didn't ask further. After staying here for a long time, it was normal to try to make friends.
"That makes sense, but it's better to think about it yourself." He held the metal ring in his hand and said casually, "This is an era of rapid development in business. Almost all problems can be solved by others. Like I told you before, your job is to help others solve their problems.
Whether it's eating, going out in the car, buying things, as long as you pay, there will be people to help you. This makes it easy to think that this world is very simple — but in reality, this world is very complicated. "
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it's just like when you play games. In fact, it's a combination of many aspects to achieve the results you have now. If any one of them is missing, such as your stance, Zhong Kui, or your skills, it's possible that you won't be able to accumulate popularity in the early stages. If you analyze them one by one, it's actually a coincidence … It's a bit complicated to say all this, but I just want you to use your brain more."
Xu Qing shook the pliers in his hand and continued, "Why didn't I let you do it for me in the beginning? It's because mechanical repetition doesn't add experience. Everything you do has to be summarized and improved. Only then can you become better. It's not like you can earn a little money now and fight in the duel arena every day. That's very stupid. "
"Okay, Teacher Xu."
Jiang He pouted. This guy just wanted her to do the questions.
"I'll do the questions properly."
"The meaning of doing the questions is to increase your ability to integrate information and to enlighten your mind." Xu Qing smiled.
"The spiritual life of an educated person is different from that of an uneducated person. Others listen to 'the sky is blue and waiting for the misty rain, but I am waiting for you'. You listen to 'the thunder, the sky is falling and the earth is sinking'. Purple Golden Hammer, Knife, Angrily Kill the Snow-winged Eagle '…"
In order not to let this wife of Kaiyuan go astray, Xu Qing nagged, which could be considered as making up for the regret of not becoming a teacher.
As the night grew darker, the clock slowly pointed to eleven o 'clock. The two of them huddled on the sofa and whispered. Jiang He gradually became sleepy. She yawned and leaned over to kiss Xu Qing's face. Then she got up and was ready to go back to the room to sleep.
"Your room is hot. Don't forget to move the fan in." She stood at the door and said.
"Can't we really share the good fortune and enjoy the air conditioner together? I can sleep on the floor. "
"You …" Jiang He hesitated. Thinking of the terrible thing of two people living together, he shook his head vigorously. "What's the difference between that and the bridal chamber?"
"In the bridal chamber, we will do what we like. I will move there and do nothing."
Even if he wanted to do it, he couldn't do it.
Jiang He was like a calf, full of energy.
"You planned it?" Jiang He suddenly understood why Xu Qing wanted to change rooms.
"I didn't plan it. I am just a kind boyfriend. How can I have bad intentions?"
"Then let's change back."
"Forget it. I will continue to sleep in the utility room and enjoy the fan."
Xu Qing refused the proposal to change back. At worst, he would just take a few more showers.
When Jiang He went back to the room in her pajamas to sleep, he stood up and stretched. He rotated his arms and kicked his legs to make up for today's boxing and sword practice. He was sweaty and went to the bathroom to take another shower. He rushed to sleep before midnight.
Releasing the energy that had been suppressed for a long time, he slept soundly.
…
Midnight.
Jiang He, who was sleepy, couldn't fall asleep. She could still feel the heat in her legs, as if she was still in Xu Qing's arms.
The first time could be said to be unintentional, but the second time could not be explained.
What kind of messy and improper things did he learn …?
Thinking of all the things that happened in the past year, Jiang He stared at the ceiling in the dark and was lost in thought.
After a long time, she suddenly got up from the bed, tidied up her clothes, and sneaked into the living room. She eavesdropped on the door of the utility room for a while. After making sure that Xu Qing was asleep, she gently turned the door handle and went in.
The electric fan was on the chair, blowing at Xu Qing.
It was not yet midnight, and the room was a little stuffy. Jiang He sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a while, and touched his forehead. It was a little sweaty.
The air conditioner was really a great invention …
She sighed and looked at Xu Qing under the dim light. He was lying on the bed with the quilt rolled up to his side.
Xu Qing suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch his face. When his hand landed, he happened to bump into Jiang He. He seemed to be startled and immediately woke up. His hand swept around the side of the bed, but he didn't feel anything. He got up and looked around. There was nothing in the dark utility room, so he lay down again, pulled the quilt over his stomach, and continued to sleep.
Jiang He, who was lying on the floor beside the bed, stood up again like a ghost. He looked at him faintly and slipped out of the door.
The next day.
Xu Qing did not remember waking up in the middle of the night. He got up in high spirits to practice his boxing. After he finished a whole set, Jiang He got up slowly, looking listless. He did not even practice his sword, but washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to make breakfast.
"Did you not sleep well last night?" Xu Qing looked left and right, not aware of it at all.
"I slept very well."
"Then why are you not as energetic as I am?"
"Please get out, don't disturb me when I'm cooking porridge!" Jiang He waved the lid of the pressure cooker to drive him away.
"Your boxing really strengthens the body. I am full of energy every day, and I feel like I can kill a cow with one punch. I suggest you stop practicing your sword and practice boxing with me."
Xu Qing went out of the living room and waved his sword. He suddenly felt something was wrong, so he changed his words, "You might as well not practice anything. You are already at the top level. It makes no difference whether you practice or not."
"No, people can't be lazy. What if I go back one day?"
"…" Xu Qing tilted his head and looked at her loose pajamas, "Can you let me take off your pajamas before you go back?"
"You want to try?"
"Then … I want to try?"
Xu Qing put away his sword, walked to the door of the kitchen, and poked her shoulder with his finger.
Jiang He looked at him expressionlessly. He suddenly yawned, which scared Xu Qing.
"Forget it. I don't have enough mental preparation. I won't joke around in the morning. I'll try at night."
"Humph."
The millet porridge in the morning was said to be good for the stomach. It was accompanied by salted vegetables. After drinking two big bowls, Jiang He was full and wanted to go back to the bedroom to take a nap. She thought about the time when Xu Qing slept until noon and was treated as a waste by her, so she gave up.
She didn't want to be a waste like White Gourd, who only ate and slept.
"I'm going out."
Jiang He changed his clothes, shook the key in his hand, and carried his teddy bear bag, ready to go out.
"I'll go out later too. If I didn't tell you that I'm coming back, I probably won't come back for dinner." Xu Qing said.
"Okay!"
Jiang He answered, put his phone in the bag, and turned to go out. The sun was not hot in the morning. When she arrived at the gate, she took out the electronic card, smiled at Zhao Shu, and then walked to the bus stop.
Zhao Shu was an elder, not a simple security guard. She had already noticed it. When she went to Xu Qing's parents' house, the security guards there didn't even look at Xu Qing, let alone say hello. They were all strangers.
…
Near noon, Xu Qing also got dressed and went out. He took a bus to the hospital, packed an extra portion of porridge and a few vegetarian buns, and carried it all the way to the fifth floor of the hospital.
Although Qin Maocai wasn't too old, he was, after all, old. It wasn't convenient for him to come and go. Xu Qing brought food to Qin Hao.
"Eating again?" Qin Hao saw a few buns and had no appetite at all.
"What do you mean by again? You don't need to eat after one meal? "
"No … Prince woke up very late this morning, and it was almost ten o 'clock when he brought food here."
"Then put it aside first, and eat later."
Xu Qing lifted his quilt again. The gauze on his stomach had been changed, and it was not oozing blood like last time. It seemed to be recovering well.
"This should be on the newspaper, right? You met a gangster after work, and you rushed to stop him, and almost died. Fortunately, you met a warm-hearted citizen. What a good positive theme, promoting positive energy. "
"I don't know. My colleague came to see me in the morning, and told me to rest well." Qin Hao looked happy. Although he was injured, he had fulfilled a dream.
He met an emergency while shopping, and then rushed to promote justice. This was what he had wanted since he was a child, and now he could cross it off the list of dreams.
Mediating quarrels, catching cats and dogs … ten things could not compare to this sense of accomplishment. It was just a small injury, and it was good that the person he protected was not injured.
"This orange is very sweet. The girl brought it here yesterday."
"Oh, can you eat oranges?"
"It's okay to have a taste."
"Don't smile like an idiot, okay? What did the girl do yesterday? Why do I feel that you have a flower on your face? "
"What flower? Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a shop assistant in the convenience store near the internet cafe. I passed by after work, and someone targeted me …"
Qin Hao was in high spirits. He changed his position and lay down. He pulled at his wound and cried out twice, and then continued to show off to Xu Qing with a beaming face.
Xu Qing was puzzled.
"If you want to talk about a hero saving a damsel in distress, it should be me, right? I saved both of you. "
"…"
Qin Hao was no longer beaming with joy.
