August was the beginning of autumn.
After the rain, the heat gradually dissipated, and the weather became much cooler, but people still needed to wear short sleeves.
No matter how cool it was at the end of summer, there was no scene of sitting still and sweating. If they went out, they still needed to avoid the sun and walk in the shade under the trees by the roadside.
For the past few days, Xu Qing had been in high spirits. He walked with the wind and was in high spirits. He raised his hand to greet Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao had a cigarette in his mouth and rubbed his chin as he pondered.
As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they meet a happy event. Did Xu Qing have a happy event?
Watching Xu Qing walking away and disappearing at the corner of the street, Zhao Shu collected his thoughts, picked up the chrysanthemum tea on the table and took a sip. When he turned around, he saw two girls walking over.
"I just saw Xu Qing go out. Didn't you guys go together?"
"No, he has his own business."
Gong Ping was wearing a beige jacket and a short skirt. Her long legs were bare, and she wore a pair of high-heeled sandals. When she walked, she made a clacking sound. She looked sexy from head to toe. Jiang He was wearing a pair of long pants and a short-sleeved shirt with a pair of small white shoes. She was so simple and elegant that she looked like a female university student who was about to go to class. The only similarity between them was probably the long, soft hair that swayed gently with her footsteps.
After walking for a while, Gong Ping turned around, looked at the gate, and asked, "Are you very familiar with each other?"
"Kind of … Xu Qing is very familiar with him." Jiang He did not deny it. She had seen Xu Qing sitting there drinking tea with Zhao Shu before, waiting for her to buy groceries and then go home together. She added, "Sometimes Xu Qing will play with Zhao Shu's grandson."
"No wonder. I was wondering why he would say hello to you." Gong Ping expressed that she understood.
Jiang He smiled and looked back casually. She was more familiar with this place than Gong Ping. Probably no one could guess that she had only been in this world for a year.
Yes, a whole year.
In the eyes of some people, she had lived here for a long time.
The afternoon sun was a little hot. After walking for a short distance, Gong Ping already regretted not stepping on the hoverbike.
A few days ago, when she saw Jiang He's hoverbike, she immediately bought one. After practicing it for a day, she was very familiar with it. She wanted to step on it every day. However, Jiang He only liked to step on it when he went fishing.
"Who told you to wear high heels?" Jiang He looked down at the high-heeled sandals on her feet.
Xu Qing had also bought a pair for her, but she had never worn it before. It was a very anti-human design. She couldn't even walk after trying it.
If it wasn't for the fact that he often saw people wearing them on the street, Jiang He felt that he would mistake them for perverted things — Xu Qing liked to let her wear all kinds of shoes.
"I can't just leave it at home, right? It's so beautiful." Gong Ping liked her sandals very much. She stopped at the traffic light and turned around on her tiptoes.
"You're as conservative as a young wife in the 90s."
"Conservative in the 90s? I think there were a lot of people dancing in disco back then, and a bunch of people huddled together … "
Jiang He mimicked her and shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly. Gong Ping couldn't help but laugh.
"Who did you learn it from?" Gong Ping found it very interesting.
"I didn't learn it. I just saw a lot of movies …" Jiang He thought for a while. He really didn't know where he saw it from.
Oh, so this was how Xu Qing felt. He learned a lot of things slowly, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.
He could only vaguely remember … it was like watching a movie, and then he was interested in one part of it. Then he expanded his knowledge and browsed it on the Internet.
After being dragged by Xu Qing to watch so many movies and having her legs touched for so long, he did gain something.
The traffic light changed colors very quickly. Gong Ping held Jiang He's arm and looked left and right as they walked to the opposite side.
After crossing the road, the two of them walked to the door of the barber shop — actually, it shouldn't be called a barber shop, because the name said it was a hair salon.
There were also styling design studios with similar names. Frankly speaking, they were all barbershops. Their names were high-end, so their prices were more expensive. Spending 800 yuan on a hairdressing salon and spending 800 yuan at a barbershop gave a completely different feeling.
Jiang He hesitated for a moment. If she was alone, she could find a small barber shop. But now that Gong Ping was with her, it wouldn't be good to drag Gong Ping to a simple one.
The glass door with a sensor opened automatically when the two of them approached. There were a few people busy inside, and there were a few empty seats. A young man with dyed blue short hair greeted them.
She didn't know if they were trying on her hair before doing it, or if they were using her as a living model to advertise. Anyway, looking around the shop, there was only one barber with normal black short hair.
"Let's dye our hair together?" Gong Ping put her long hair in front of her, pinched the end, and suggested to Jiang He.
"Dye our hair?"
Jiang He took the hairstyle manual on the table and looked at the colorful models carefully.
Xu Qing had mentioned that she could try to dye it, and if she didn't like it, she could dye it back. She was willing to try this kind of thing, but she didn't like anything in the manual. Her own black hair was the best, so she shook her head and handed the manual to Gong Ping.
As for Mr. Tonny's recommendation, she didn't want to accept it.
Her hair was her own. Except for Xu Qing, she didn't want to listen to other people's suggestions — Gong Ping was her friend, so she could consider her suggestions, but not others.
"This caramel orange color is calm and low-key, and it can show off white …"
Mr. Tonny turned the manual to Gong Ping, and just as he was about to speak, Gong Ping interrupted him, "Am I very black?"
"Of course not, I'm just talking about this hair color."
"There won't be a big difference between the dyed hair and this, right?"
"It's all real. Don't worry, it's all real hair dyed and glued on. If you dyed it with other colors, there might be a little difference …"
"Okay, I'll choose this!" Gong Ping's casual and playful attitude surprised Jiang He, and he couldn't help but say, "Don't you want to choose carefully?"
"No, this one is good."
"Beauty, you have good taste!" Mr. Tonny gave a thumbs up and looked at Jiang He.
"I don't need it."
Jiang He just turned her head and saw the price list. It cost 388 to change the color of her hair. She felt pain when she thought about it.
What's more, none of them were colors she liked.
"Together? How about I try it first, and you can decide after I'm done. "Gong Ping encouraged.
"I think black is better."
Jiang He put the long hair in front of him and twirled it with his fingers, not falling for her trick.
…
"You don't have any information?"
"Yes."
"You don't remember anything? Where is your home? "
"Ever since I can remember, I've been with the scavenger old lady. The two of us ran around, slept under bridges, slept on the road, and so on … Sometimes we were kicked out for destroying the city's appearance."
Xu Qing held a big apple in his mouth. It was impossible to fabricate more information about Jiang He. The simpler, the better. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
"Nothing, this is not easy." Xu Wenbin frowned, "If you don't have any information, you can't even do a census."
"Dad, I've considered all the normal methods. I'm looking for you to …"
"What? Can I break the law? "Xu Wenbin glanced at him.
"…"
"…"
The father and son looked at each other. After a while, Xu Wenbin waved his hand and said with disdain, "Think carefully again, did you miss anything … Forget it, I'll ask Jiang He directly."
"I really didn't miss anything. I've told you everything I can."
"You mean, there's still something I can't tell you?"
Xu Wenbin asked. Xu Qing shrugged and said nothing, which made Xu Wenbin feel annoyed.
Well, if there really was something that couldn't be told, then it definitely couldn't be said. If he just casually said it after asking, was he stupid or Xu Qing stupid?
Regardless of whether there was or not, it was a useless question.
"What national affairs are you two discussing inside?" Zhou Suzhi knocked on the door of the study.
Xu Qing took a bite of the apple. It was crisp and sweet, and he said loudly, "We're discussing when I'll marry Jiang He."
"Ah?"
Zhou Suzhi paused outside and directly opened the door, "Why are you two talking about this kind of thing?"
"This is not marriage, we have to buy a house, buy a house …"
"Ahem!"
Xu Wenbin coughed discontentedly. Zhou Suzhi looked at the father and son and said, "I don't have money, you discuss it with your father … Hey, is Jiang He at home? Why don't you not go back tonight? You ask her to come over and have dinner together. "
"Okay."
Xu Qing simply agreed, took out his phone and said, "I'll ask her. It's been a long time since she came over for dinner."
Zhou Suzhi looked at Xu Qing and Xu Wenbin again, turned around, and left the room, letting them continue to talk and not getting involved.
The door was closed again, and Xu Wenbin looked at Xu Qing with annoyance.
This guy did it on purpose. He didn't lack money at all. He was just idle and simply mentioned it. Then, Zhou Suzhi would definitely give him advice at night.
If there was really such a thing, he could refuse or agree. The point was that there was no such thing, and Zhou Suzhi gave him more trouble.
It was not annoying, but there was more trouble for no reason … Damn, he had nothing to do!
Xu Wenbin's face darkened, and his fingers rubbed on the belt. He couldn't wait to go back to the time when Xu Qing was rebellious.
"Dad, those students of yours, there must be … Hmm?" Xu Qing finished eating the apple, stood up with the core, and looked at the trash can to see if he threw it into it.
"Why don't you tell them, and I will bring something to visit them."
"Didn't I help you?"
Xu Wenbin said impatiently. Really, it doesn't matter who you are born, what you learn is all fate.
He had clearly grown up together with Qin Hao, and Qin Hao was unable to do anything even after being beaten with a stick. This guy …
Xu Qing looked at him and knew that he agreed. He took the apple core and threw it into the trash can in the living room. He took a tissue from the table and wiped his hands.
Jiang He replied on Wechat, saying that he would be here later. He attached a photo with only the back of his head, and his long brown hair was loose.
Xu Qing zoomed in and was very surprised. "You dyed it? "
Jiang He: "Do I look good? "
Xu Qing: "Yes, it suits you very well. Brown hair makes you look white."
Jiang He: "Why do you sound like a hairdresser? "
Jiang He: "Are you saying that I'm black? "
Xu Qing: "You can make it look whiter."
He did not expect Jiang He to be willing to dye his hair. It had nothing to do with whether it looked good or not. He was just happy that Jiang He tried to change his hairstyle and hair color.
Chatting with Jiang He, she turned on the TV and found a random channel to watch. After about an hour, he received a message from her on Wechat. Xu Qing ran to open the door and saw Jiang He with long black hair standing at the door. He was stunned.
"Jiang He is here?" Zhou Suzhi was about to go out to buy groceries. She had packed her keys and phone. When she came out of the living room and saw Jiang He, she immediately smiled.
Last year, she felt that Jiang He was very good-looking and comfortable. Now that a year had passed, she seemed to be getting more and more beautiful, and her whole body was much more plump.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Yes, sit." Zhou Suzhi looked at her carefully. Indeed, she had become better. Previously, she felt that she was a little stiff and unnatural, but now she could not feel it.
After Zhou Suzhi went out, Jiang He went to Xu Qing's side, flipping her hair and smiling at him.
"You thought I dyed my hair?"
"The photo you sent only shows the back of your head. Of course I thought it was you." Xu Qing took out his phone again and looked at the back of the head, then at Jiang He's black hair. "Why didn't you dye your hair?"
Jiang He took the hair and twirled it around her finger a few times before suddenly letting go.
"I don't have a favorite color. I still think black is the best." She glanced at Xu Qing and smiled. "That was dyed by Ping Ping. Does it look good?"
"No, I also think black is the best. It suits you very well." Xu Qing corrected himself. His girlfriend did not dye her hair, so of course he could not praise the one who did.
"Tsk, you just said that it looks good and suits me."
"How would I know it's that old woman … Ping Ping, you didn't say that the two of you went together?"
"Yes, she wanted me to dye my hair the same as hers, but I refused."
Jiang He moved her hair to the back of her head, letting it fall down evenly. This haircut was only a little shorter and thinner, but it actually cost more than 80 RMB. She felt that it was not worth it.
"Let's buy a pair of scissors. Can you cut it for me in the future?"
"Stop joking. How would I know how to do that?" Xu Qing said.
"I thought you knew how to do everything …" Jiang He tapped on her phone and slowly moved closer to Xu Qing. Xu Qing took the opportunity to hug her and look at the products on her Taobao.
"Ahem!"
Xu Wenbin coughed lightly. Xu Qing, who was wondering why Jiang He's hair had changed its fragrance, was pushed away by Jiang He before he could react. He sat up straight and put away his phone, then turned around.
"Hello, Uncle."
"Dad, I'll buy you some Fatty Big Sea next time. It's good for your throat."
"Okay, buy more."
Xu Wenbin nodded and sat on the chair next to him with a big teacup in his hand. His eyes swept past Jiang He's face and then turned to look at the TV.
Xu Qing squeezed Jiang He's hand and signaled her to relax. Then he took out his phone from her pocket. "Didn't you just look at the scissors? I think we can buy a pusher so that you can cut my hair. That way, toot toot — — push it over."
"No … Okay?"
Jiang He looked at Xu Wenbin and then looked at Xu Qing. The father and son both had flattop hairstyles and looked quite similar. However, Xu Qing often had a smile on his face and was not as serious as Xu Wenbin. Their temperaments were very different.
