As a patient, Xu Qing didn't move much today. He didn't even change out of his pajamas. He just stayed on the sofa and fiddled with the computer.
Gong Ping called Jiang He to go fishing, but Jiang He didn't go. Instead, he teamed up with her at home to play in the Summoner's Canyon for a while. He watched over Xu Qing as if he was afraid that he would die at home.
Xu Qing's condition wasn't very good. His nose was running and he sneezed from time to time. His speech was stuffy and weak. He leaned on the sofa and wrapped himself in a blanket. He didn't come close to her all day to touch or pinch her.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing forced himself to practice a set of boxing and moved his body. The signs of nasal congestion improved a little. Then, he sat back and continued to work on his computer.
"You can make money by looking at this?"
Jiang He had played enough games. She leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at the K-line graph on Xu Qing's screen with him. She touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.
"You can put your hand down. It's more practical this way. Look, I'm not measuring your forehead."
Xu Qing took her hand and put it into his collar, but Jiang He retracted it. It was obvious that he was up to no good.
"You want me to touch your chest."
"You can even see through this?" Xu Qing looked up. Jiang He was lying on the back of the sofa. Her hair fell down and swept across his face. It was ticklish. Xu Qing shook his head and pushed her to stand up straight again. "Don't be so close. Colds are contagious."
"Then why did you pull me into bed yesterday?"
"I didn't think it would become so serious yesterday."
"I'll cook a bowl of ginger soup for you later." Jiang He said.
Ginger soup …
"Why don't you heat up the bath water? It'll be considered ginger soup."
"You're still so dirty when you're sick." Jiang He glared at him. It wasn't good to use force to threaten a sick person.
Xu Qing was sickly and tired, yet he still had the mood to say such vulgar words and do such lustful things. This was the nature of a lecher.
If one day he became an old man with white hair and beard, wrinkles on his face, and crutches when he went out, Xu Qing would probably still be lecherous. Jiang He felt that this was definitely the case. When that time came, he would be shameless.
Xu Qing didn't notice that she was glaring at him angrily. He had already lowered his head to look at his notebook again. The stocks that had been trading sideways for more than a month had some movement. He was estimating how high it would rise this time and then deciding if he should sell half of it.
"This is very difficult to learn, and you won't be able to earn much money. Don't even think about it."
"But you made money."
Jiang He could still understand the words + 1026. It meant that Xu Qing had earned 1026 yuan, and it was still moving. Xu Qing had just clicked on another page, and when he clicked back, it had become 1083 yuan. It felt too easy.
"If I made money, it only means that someone lost money. It's like locking a bunch of people in a room, taking out their money and piling it together, and then redistributing it according to IQ. Those with higher IQ will get more, and those who aren't smart like you will get their money divided up."
"There will always be people smarter than you." Jiang He felt that Xu Qing was very arrogant.
No, he had always been arrogant.
"There will always be people dumber than me."
"Don't you think you've always been arrogant? I've also been learning. "
"I'm just saying things objectively. The smart I'm talking about isn't the smart you understand, but …"
Xu Qing sighed and looked at her. "You're learning because I forced you to learn."
"So what?"
"I've never talked to you about becoming smarter after learning, but about learning itself. Those who can realize that they need to learn and take the initiative to learn are smart. You don't need to compare yourself with others, but you need me to urge you every day to be willing to read."
"…"
Jiang He opened her mouth and sat down angrily to open the book.
Learn, learn, learn … This guy only knew how to make her study every day.
"You don't have to be like this. If you don't study, I'll at most despise you … Besides, you're not taking the initiative now. You're only willing to read because I despise you."
"You're so annoying!" Jiang He clenched her fist and waved it. She leaned against the sofa dejectedly.
"I just want you to understand that there are people in this world who are not very smart, and there are people who are born to be geniuses … I'm not talking about me. I'm not a genius either. I'm just smarter than some people because I can recognize my own stupidity."
Xu Qing wiped his nose with a tissue and looked at her with a smile. He continued, "It's like playing this game. Some people will compare for hours when they buy clothes and lipsticks to choose the most suitable ones for them. They might even go shopping for an entire afternoon and night. When they enter this game with real money, they don't have the patience to study and study. They just want to follow others to earn more money. Then they look at the experts' recommendations and buy the ones that are trending well. In the end, when they lose money, they say it's all a scam …
I sit here and watch the news while they shop for clothes and study the trend of the data. This behavior in itself gives me an advantage over them. This is not arrogance, but an objective understanding that some people are smarter than me and some are stupider than me. "
He paused and continued, "The largest proportion is ordinary people like you. Therefore, as long as you take the initiative to study, you can surpass this largest group. Once you understand this, you will surpass most people."
"Is that so?" Jiang He was doubtful about what he said. "You've all been studying since you were young. Even if you study for ten years …"
"You've also been forced to study since you were young, just like you are now."
"You used to lie to me to hold hands and hug me all the time, and now you lie to me to read every day." Jiang He seemed to have seen this scene before. She raised her head and thought for a while before she remembered where she had seen Xu Qing like this before.
After the long speech, it was time to start the deception. This liar.
"As long as you're happy." Xu Qing said indifferently, "Anyway, I can support you as a stupid seedling, but it may take some effort in the future."
"Isn't it easier to support a stupid seedling?"
"Did you research how to make a man like you?" Xu Qing frowned when he heard that.
"No!"
"I'm afraid that you will be cheated by those things." Xu Qing glanced at Jiang He and took her phone to have a look. "For example, if you are taken to boxing, if you become like that … It will take more than some effort.
That's why I have to think of a way to make you smarter, and reading is the best way to do that. "
In the age of the Internet, there were good and bad things. Fortunately, Jiang He did not have Weibo on her phone, and it was not suitable for her to play that game now.
"And for example, when you looked up my illness in Baidu … The lower the IQ, the more serious the illness."
"I just care about you."
"…"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment, turned his head and put down the phone. If it weren't for his bad cold …
He looked at Jiang He's gaze that was drifting elsewhere, shook his head, and moved to the side.
"Well, if you want to play games, then continue to play games. Anyway, I'm here whether you study or not."
Xu Qing rubbed his forehead tiredly. Just pamper her.
Otherwise, what else could he do?
It was impossible for this heroine to learn. He could only think of a way to teach her to be smart, so that she would not be led astray by the people on the Internet.
If she was like a teddy bear …
An image of Jiang He with a cigarette in his mouth and swearing came to Xu Qing's mind. He was so shocked that his nostrils flared, and he could not block it anymore.
"If you are willing to read books every day, I will like you very much." He added, "I will like you a hundred times more than I do now."
"Humph, I don't care."
Jiang He expressed his disdain, got up and sat in front of the computer. After a pause, he asked, "How much is a hundred times?"
"Probably … I will even like your foot washing water."
"Pervert!"
Jiang He scolded him in a low voice, then turned around and pulled out a book from the bookshelf behind him.
