The most powerful strategy in the world was not a conspiracy or a cunning trick, but an overt plot.
If the conspiracy was seen through, it would be worthless, and there would always be a way to deal with it. An overt plot was to let the enemy know about it, but there was nothing they could do!
Jiang He was defeated.
She had long known that Xu Qing was not honest. Moving over was only the first step, and then there was the second step, the third step …
For more than half a month, she had been wondering what trick Xu Qing would use to remove the stuffed bear.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not stop this guy's shamelessness!
In the dark, Jiang He's back was facing Xu Qing, and her attention was completely focused on what was behind her.
She could feel the coolness of Xu Qing's arm on her arm, and the warmth of Xu Qing's breath on her neck. Under the same quilt, she curled up into a small ball, trying not to stick to Xu Qing.
If Xu Qing wanted to do something, she seemed to have no power to resist …
Martial strength was not a problem at all. Just like now, if Xu Qing wanted to, there was no room for her to use her martial strength.
She crawled over on her own. Could she beat him up and force him not to drink water?
Jiang He found that what she had been worried about had happened.
She was never worried about sleeping together. They had hugged each other on the sofa to watch a movie more than once. Hugging each other was nothing. What she was really worried about was what the beginning meant.
That was why she had been refusing to take the stuffed bear away …
Xu Qing slowly turned over and lay on his side to hold Jiang He. Jiang He's body trembled, and her whole body was tense.
Time seemed to have stopped. Except for the sound of rain outside the window, the two people on the bed did not move, and even their breathing was light.
In the dark, Jiang He could feel the coolness of his fingertips, and her body became more tense.
However, Xu Qing did not move further. He just put his hand on her waist.
"Sleep," he whispered.
Jiang He was inexplicably relieved. She did not know what she was worried about, or what she was looking forward to. Her clenched fists slowly relaxed, and her head gently rubbed the pillow, and she closed her eyes.
Tiredness came quickly. With the sound of rain outside the window, she had unknowingly fallen into a dream.
Xu Qing listened to Jiang He's steady breathing and rubbed his head against her.
It was time to change to a bigger pillow.
…
When she woke up early in the morning, Jiang He found that she had turned around and was nestled in Xu Qing's arms. Her head was pressed against his chest, and the quilt was covering her warm body.
Stunned for a moment, Jiang He's heartbeat quickened. He quietly licked his lips and gently removed Xu Qing's hand from his body, intending to sneak out.
Halfway through, Jiang He looked up. Xu Qing had woken up at some point, but he didn't move and just looked at her.
？？
She froze. Before she could move, she saw that Xu Qing had closed his eyes and was snoring softly.
"Xu Qing!"
Jiang He was furious. She stood up from the bed and grabbed his pajamas to lift him up.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qing pretended to rub his eyes. "Is it time to eat?"
"Change your clothes and come out!"
Jiang He angrily picked up his casual clothes, put on his slippers, and walked out to change into his pajamas in the storeroom.
Xu Qing looked at the clothes that Jiang He had thrown at him before he went out, and reluctantly began to change.
Why was she so angry so early in the morning?
The little old lady was so irritable. She couldn't learn to be calm. She was already more than a thousand years old, but she was still like a teenager. She did things impatiently, and often lifted people up …
After putting on his clothes slowly, Xu Qing shook the quilt and carefully folded it. Jiang He was still urging him outside. He answered and opened the door. Jiang He, who had already changed, stood in the middle of the living room, looking at him with his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"You've been practicing martial arts for so long. Let's compare notes and see how you've been practicing."
？
Xu Qing directly turned around and went back to his room. "No, no, this shouldn't be. I admit defeat. You …"
Before he could step in, Jiang He had already pulled him out by the back of his neck.
Ten minutes later.
Xu Qing was like Rocky who had been violated by Hulk. He lay on the sofa and made "ugh" sounds, looking out of the window in despair.
Jiang He, on the other hand, looked refreshed. After washing up, he put on his apron, hummed a song, and began to make breakfast.
"Hang your quilt on the balcony to dry, or it'll get moldy!"
"If you didn't pull me out, I would have been left to dry."
Xu Qing looked at the weather outside. It had not yet cleared up, but it was not as gloomy as yesterday. He went to the bedroom and put the quilt on the balcony frame. He came back to see the humanoid Hulk cooking in the kitchen.
"I didn't do anything. It's normal for a boyfriend and a girlfriend to sleep together. That Bear is the third party. It's my duty to attack the third party. If not …"
"You made the quilt wet."
"Then …"
"You also wanted to make the other quilt wet."
"…"
"Do you want to compare notes again?"
"No, no!"
"Then don't pour water on the quilt next time, remember?"
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Xu Qing grumbled softly and turned to leave. He went to the bedroom and took out his phone. He searched for a longer pillow for two people to sleep on.
He bought it and put it on the bed. He had to use it even if he didn't use it. Anyway, he could just pour water on the two pillows and throw them into the washing machine.
After breakfast, neither of them mentioned how they were going to sleep at night. Jiang He knew very well that if he carried the quilt out, Xu Qing would continue to pour water on it.
This person …
Hmph.
When the weather changed, he would also turn the air conditioner very low. Some things could not go back after doing it once. For example, kissing or touching legs.
"Do you want to play games early in the morning?"
"You're holding my legs …"
"… Let's play."
"Hmph."
This was all created by Xu Qing in the past. Even though it was an entertainment card set, it was not that bad. Summoning Lai was not the only way to win for Lai. He added Myra's unstable element and Chef's Glutinous Rice to it, which made the activation of the cards much faster. Furthermore, he could use Glutinous Rice to fast forward to the point where he could smash the board. If he could solve it, he would win. If he couldn't solve it, he would die.
After playing for many days, she won using Glutinous Rice many more times than using Lai, but she still tirelessly liked how cool Lai was.
"Actually, you weren't quite right when you said that the woman was stupid yesterday. This guy killed a homeless man behind the mother and son's back. Then, he planned for them to escape unscathed. Then, he stepped forward to take the blame. He seemed very dedicated, but he never thought that the mother and son wouldn't be able to bear it. This kind of kindness that can never be repaid fell on her head. She couldn't repay it. She couldn't even tell others about the pressure she was under. "
Xu Qing pulled out the novel that Jiang He was reading yesterday and reread it himself. At the same time, he criticized Jiang He.
"Too much kindness is also pressure. In the end, the daughter slit her wrist because she couldn't bear it. That became the last straw that broke the woman's back. The woman turned herself in to atone for her crimes."
"If you want to repay a kindness, isn't satisfying the other party's wish the best way?"
"It's not repaying a kindness. It's drawing a line. I'm grateful for what you've done, but I killed the person I killed. You killed the homeless man because you wanted to. You can't put the blame on me."
"… How complicated." Jiang He pouted.
"Great kindness is like great hatred. Didn't you run away with a bag on your back?"
"It's different."
"How is it different?"
"I … I …" Jiang He didn't know what to say. "Get up. Don't talk to me."
"See, you're so stupid that you can't refute me even if you don't study."
"I'll just play one round!"
Jiang He gestured with her fingers and then began to think about her cards. She muttered, "Don't talk so much here … I didn't say I won't study. Do you have to be like this?"
"You said you'll just play one round?"
"Yes, just one round."
"Alright then."
Xu Qing closed his mouth in satisfaction and stopped nagging.
He was an ordinary chatterbox who loved life. Jiang He was Sun Wukong. If he dared to disobey, she would nag at him.
This was much more advanced than using force.
Intelligent people never used force. Only the stupid Jiang He liked to use force to threaten people.
…
Halfway through the summer vacation, Xiaoyan came to live with his grandma again. This surprised Xu Qing.
If he couldn't even compare to Xiaoyan, Jiang He would probably be so ashamed that he wouldn't be able to show his face. Then, he would work hard to become a smart scholar, right?
Xiaoyan was now in the fourth grade. She couldn't beat Jiang He, who was already in junior high. She could ask Jiang He to help her with her homework. She could also review her previous studies. It was killing two birds with one stone.
After arranging everything, Xu Qing went out to find Wang Zijun to ask him about something.
They found a place to eat together. Wang Zijun looked a little haggard. His old face looked even more listless, which made Xu Qing suspect that he had met a female ghost.
People on TV who had their Yang energy sucked away by female ghosts looked like this.
"Did you have an abortion? I've never heard of a man getting pregnant. "
Wang Zijun scratched his head. "What abortion … I'm just annoyed."
"It's a cycle of reincarnation. Who will the heavens spare? Let's not talk nonsense. That thing I asked you to do, that Jiang He's salary record, is there any problem? "
"No problem. What happened?"
"Just to make sure."
Xu Qing waved his hand. Two days ago, he inadvertently heard from Cheng Yulan that Xu Wenbin had asked about Jiang He, which made him a little unsure who Xu Wenbin had asked for help. Did Xu Wenbin see something?
Or was it that Xu Wenbin was worried and had been secretly observing him?
It was related to Jiang He's identity. Xu Qing was a little nervous.
"Your Jiang … Jiang He looks so obedient. Alas, I've met a troublemaker." Wang Zijun rubbed his forehead. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "What bad luck …"
"You've met your match?"
Xu Qing did not agree with what he said. Obedient … As an ancient person, she thought about how to play more games every day and how to kill people when she had nothing to do. When she read detective novels, she always put herself in the shoes of those people and thought about what if she was in that situation …
Wang Zijun said, "She is the one who tricked me into going to the hotel last year and stole my clothes."
"Tricked you into going to the hotel?" Xu Qing pondered for a moment and remembered when he was talking about. "Ex-girlfriend?"
"Now you're my pregnant girlfriend."
"…"
"She … Aiya, I can't say. I'm so annoyed." Wang Zijun could not help scratching his head.
"Getting married is a good thing. I can't even get married if I want to."
Xu Qing comforted him. "Let's go play for a while?"
"Where?"
"Online. I was delayed by the robbery last time. I haven't been there until now."
"Let's go!"
Wang Zijun picked up the car key and waved his hand. He took Xu Qing out.
They did not go anywhere else but to the same house that they had failed to visit last time. The two of them looked at the place where Qin Hao had fallen. The blood had already been cleaned up, and nothing could be seen.
Standing here, Wang Zijun could not help but think of Xu Qing's attitude that day. Now, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and looked like a loafer.
"Should we go and see Qin Hao's girlfriend?" Xu Qing looked at the alley and suddenly thought of something.
Wang Zijun was surprised to hear that. "He has that thing?"
"Maybe, maybe … I don't know if it will work out. We can go and buy a bottle of water. Everything in the internet cafe is expensive."
Last time, Qin Hao said that they would eat together, but there was no news from him. He was still waiting for Qin Hao to ask for help, but he did not. He did not know if it was because he did not have a chance.
Xu Qing walked along the alley and went through another street. He looked around. There were only two convenience stores, but he did not know which one they were …
He randomly picked one and saw the big braid that he saw twice in the hospital. Today, the braid was not tied up. Instead, it was scattered behind her, and she looked delicate and pretty.
Obviously, the girl still remembered them. Xu Qing was the one who had slapped the robber who had blocked the road.
The one next to him was shouting for help quite loudly.
"You …"
"Hey, it's you. What a coincidence!" Xu Qing pretended to greet them. "I just want to buy a bottle of Coke."
"Ah, ah … I have to thank you. But you left every time in the hospital," the girl said.
"Fortunately, you met me …" Wang Zijun sighed. Then, Xu Qing said, "Thank that fatty.
"It's enough to thank that fatty. We were about to walk, but he insisted on going."
"…"
"…"
She had never seen such an honest person. The girl choked for a moment and did not know what to say.
"Six bucks?"
"No, no, it's my treat."
"That's too much. Boss, pay." Xu Qing poked Wang Zijun's shoulder. Wang Zijun scanned the QR code and took the Coke from Xu Qing. He walked out of the convenience store in silence. Then, he looked back and said, "It's her? It's her, right? Did she get together with Rat? "
"I don't know. Rat seemed to be in a good mood, but I don't know if it's a success."
"I think …"
Halfway through his sentence, Wang Zijun suddenly shut his mouth and nudged Xu Qing with his shoulder, indicating for him to look ahead.
A familiar figure was turning in their direction. Xu Qing pulled Wang Zijun and hid behind a car by the roadside.
"Is he going to the convenience store?"
"Of course. Why else would he come here?"
The two hid behind the car and watched Qin Hao enter the convenience store. After a while, Qin Hao came out with a bottle of mineral water. His face was as bright as a flower.
He looked around and the smile on Qin Hao's face froze.
"You two, why are you sneaking around?"
