Gong Ping did not know if Xu Qing knew how to practice swordsmanship.
But Gong Ping knew that he was despicable.
People who played Weasel and Herder were all despicable … It might be too absolute to say that, but there would definitely be people who would slip through the net.
At eight o 'clock, Jiang He still had not reached 1700 points. She did not delay, and when the time was up, she turned off the live broadcast.
Then she let out a long breath, stretched, and leaned against the chair. She picked up the rose next to the computer and sniffed it. Her fingers kept moving.
Playing for an hour in the duel arena, especially at the high levels, not only did she need to focus, but her fingers would also be very tired.
Although it was much easier than carrying bricks, it was only easy at the beginning. Anything that was repeated mechanically for a long time would get tired, so she was really happy for the day.
The happiness did not last long. On the other side, Xu Qing very despicably found a horror film, turned around, and said, "Watch a movie with me, or read a book, choose one."
"Watch a movie."
Jiang He moved from the chair to the sofa and huddled next to Xu Qing, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Just as Xu Qing was about to start, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked around and ran to turn off the lights in the living room. Then he sat back down and clicked play.
Ju-On.
Strictly speaking, this movie was a little scarier than Sadako in Ring, because Sadako's ability was stronger. Before she died, she was a superpower user, and after her death, she was basically an undefeatable existence. But there was a difference in the horror atmosphere. Compared to Chu Renmei, different people had different opinions.
Because Chu Renmei's horror points were equally dense, and the background was more immersive, Xu Qing felt that Chu Renmei was a little scarier. Jiang He did not know how many times he had watched it. He was so scared that he had to hug his sword in the shower. He understood very well.
The first time he watched this movie was when he was a teenager. He and Qin Hao had nothing to do in the afternoon. They were bored and were looking for a movie to watch. Then, they saw Beauty Chu. Not long after the movie started, the two of them felt that something was wrong. But they were in puberty, so no one suggested to change the disc. So, they stiffened their necks and watched the entire movie with their eyes wide open. When they went out after that, the summer afternoon sun felt cold and gloomy.
As a result, Xu Qing spent a long time singing loudly in the shower, wailing and howling in the bathroom for a long time. The time he spent in the shower was reduced by more than half. Not only did he save water, but he also had the habit of singing since then.
He did not know what happened to Qin Hao after that, and Qin Hao did not say anything about it. Xu Qing only saw Qin Maocai chasing him with a broom one night, cursing that he had not showered for a few days …
Now that he had grown up, watching horror movies was not a big deal. Sometimes, when he watched it on the internet, there were even comments saying that Sister Chu should take advantage of the heat when she appeared … It was no longer scary.
Of course, the movie that was playing now was not the internet version. It was the uncensored HD version that Xu Qing had treasured for a long time. At the beginning of the story, it was quite peaceful. Jiang He stuffed his legs into his arms and asked in a low voice what movie it was.
"A woman with a child for revenge." Xu Qing summarized it precisely with one sentence.
"Revenge?"
"Yes, revenge on all the people who live in this house. Maybe her mind is not too clear. As the saying goes, a pregnant woman becomes stupid for three years. It's quite amazing that she targeted the people who live in this house."
"Oh."
After receiving Xu Qing's spoiler, Jiang He continued to watch the movie in peace. However, the atmosphere was getting more and more strange.
In the dark living room, Jiang He's eyes were wide open. When he saw the pale child appear, he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"A … a horror movie?"
"It's not scary. It's just a very normal … horror movie."
"…"
Normal as hell!
Jiang He struggled to sit up.
She thought of the young lady in the blue robe that she saw when she first arrived last year. She seemed to hear the singing of the opera again.
"Ghosts don't exist. Why should I be afraid?"
"Let go of me!"
"So you don't want to watch it anymore?" Xu Qing asked.
"…"
Jiang He was in a dilemma.
If she didn't want to watch the movie, she would have to learn. This movie did not seem to be as scary as the previous ones. It was just a child. One sword could cut him down.
Sensing that Jiang He did not struggle anymore, Xu Qing pinched her feet and continued to watch the screen. He could not get enough of her smooth and delicate feet. When he held them in his hands, it felt like he was holding a piece of warm jade. Her toes would occasionally move slightly. Her nails, which were often trimmed, only revealed a little bit of their edges.
When Kayako appeared, she twisted and crawled in a very strange posture, which was much more exaggerated than Gong Ping's yoga movements. Jiang He widened her eyes and held her breath. After a while, she twisted her neck stiffly and turned her head to look at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing smiled at her. The light and shadow of the screen reflected on his face, making him look gloomy.
"I don't want to watch it anymore!"
Jiang He's action of jumping up startled White Gourd in the distance. He ran over barefoot to turn on the light. The living room was lit up, and there were still screams coming from the computer.
"You don't want to watch it anymore?"
The movie was only halfway through. Xu Qing paused it regretfully.
"I want to read. I haven't read for a whole day today."
Jiang He took the initiative to pick up the "Three Body Problem". Seeing Xu Qing's calm gaze, she hesitated for a moment and took out the junior high school textbook under the coffee table.
"If you want to go to school, these are compulsory. If you don't want to go to school, you don't have to watch it." Xu Qing said, "These are not so useful to you now."
"I want to go to school."
"Then let's watch it."
Xu Qing didn't know what Jiang He thought of a scholar, but Jiang He had said that she wanted to be a scholar. At least, she had to finish junior high school knowledge before she could be called a scholar.
Not wanting to disturb Jiang He, he turned down the volume and found the movie and started watching.
Actually, he had wanted to take Jiang He to watch "The Sixth Sense". This warm horror film was more suitable, but it didn't have enough impact. Jiang He didn't want to develop in the field of film editing and criticism. So, he simply played the more impactful film for her, and then watched it alone for Xu Qing.
Jiang He bit the tip of her pen and glanced at Xu Qing from time to time. Slowly, she felt relieved.
The two of them were not in a normal relationship.
If she wanted to live well in the modern world, she had to learn. No matter what, she had to improve her knowledge. Reading was the easiest and fastest way. It could be considered as the foundation. Skyscrapers couldn't be built from the ground up.
The night was getting late.
When Xu Qing finished editing the video, Jiang He also put down her pen. She checked what she didn't know and found that it was quite easy. She put away the book and stretched. Then, she went to the storeroom to take out a change of underwear and pajamas. She was ready to take a shower.
After entering the bathroom for a moment, she walked out with a calm expression and returned with her sword.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xu Qing was amused. He didn't expect the heroine to be so timid.
"Come in and try."
"Then, I'll try?"
Xu Qing asked. Seeing the figure at the bathroom door holding the sword, he had no choice but to quietly sit back on the sofa.
After the two of them finished showering, the lights in the living room were turned off. Jiang He returned to the bedroom and snuggled into Xu Qing's arms. She hugged his waist and was ready to sleep.
"Do you want to do something else?" Xu Qing asked.
"If you wake me up, I'll beat you up," Jiang He said with her eyes closed.
"You're not asleep yet."
"If I can't fall asleep in five minutes, I'll beat you up too."
"…"
Xu Qing felt that it was very unfair, but his skills were not as good as hers. He could only accept the unfair contract. He hugged her tightly with one hand and closed his eyes as well.
He didn't know if this woman would have kidney deficiency …
It was better to control herself.
He was already quite satisfied with having a big bear to play with.
"If you play again, I'll beat you up."
"Let's become sworn brothers." Xu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. "We don't even touch as a couple. Why don't we become sworn brothers? We don't need to be on the same day, month, and year …"
"Is that enough?" Jiang He asked angrily.
"Enough."
"Then, let's sleep."
Jiang He closed her eyes again.
How did it become like this …
She squeezed herself closer to Xu Qing. She couldn't figure out this problem.
…
August passed quietly. The hot summer slipped away. Autumn came with elegant steps, bringing with it a cool breeze.
Wang Zijun's wedding was in September.
The preparations were very fast. Everything was ready in a month — there was no other way. If it was a few days later, the bride's belly wouldn't be able to cover it.
Although many people who came to attend the wedding knew about it, they still had to cover it up if they could.
On this day.
Xu Qing brought Jiang He along to see the wedding of a rich man.
In Jiang He's mind, he knew that the wedding did not necessarily involve carrying a sedan chair, but he didn't know what it should look like.
Wang Zijun was dressed in a dignified manner in the hotel. He stood at the entrance to welcome the guests. The bride's dress was specially designed to cover her belly, which was already showing a little. She was smiling as she accompanied Wang Zijun.
A woman's most beautiful moment was when she got married. This was the same in ancient times.
Xu Qing stood outside the hotel for a while. Jiang He stood at the side and looked around curiously. Just by looking at the surrounding decorations, there was a festive atmosphere. There was also the big arched door with the bride and groom's names pasted on red paper.
When Qin Hao, the dark fat man, came over, his strong body made his clothes look small. He waved to greet them from afar.
"Why do you look so tired?" Xu Qing waited for him to come closer and sized him up. Qin Hao was dressed well today, but he didn't look very energetic.
"In order to come here today, my colleagues and I took over the shift. We just finished our shift and rushed over!"
Qin Hao yawned and adjusted his clothes. He heard Xu Qing say, "Where's your girlfriend?"
"I don't have a girlfriend." Qin Hao suddenly became energetic.
"Pretend."
Xu Qing laughed and pulled Jiang He over. He took the curious Jiang He to the door and took out a red packet from his pocket.
"800, right?"
"That's right. Don't give me too much. It will make me look like I have too much …"
"In a few months, he will become a father and have to give me more."
"Come on, inflation will depreciate the value one day later."
"Depreciate it then."
The two chatted until they reached the door. They stopped talking and looked at Wang Zijun with a smile. The bride next to him didn't look familiar. Xu Qing thought for a while and couldn't match her with the girl on the subway.
They only met once. It had been so long, and she had put on makeup. It was normal that they couldn't match.
"You're here?"
"Congratulations!"
"Bliss for a hundred years!"
Xu Qing and Qin Hao shook their wallets in their hands. "For who?"
"Look at what you said … give it to her." Wang Zijun waved his hand. The bride next to him smiled and thanked him.
Xu Qing quietly looked at her. She was dressed in a gown and had delicate makeup on. There was a soft smile on her face. She looked natural and graceful. At this moment, Xu Qing felt that she had some impression of her.
She could make Wang Zijun wear a wedding dress so early. She was quite amazing.
After chatting with Wang Zijun for a while, Xu Qing and Qin Hao entered the wedding venue. There were already some people inside. They came not too early or too late. They found their friend's table and sat down. Jiang He was still looking around curiously.
"This must have cost a lot of money …"
Jiang He secretly whispered and asked.
"You must have spent a lot of money. You won't be so extravagant when we get married." Xu Qing teased her with a smile.
"That's good."
“？”
Xu Qing glanced elsewhere, and his gaze returned to Jiang He's face. He said in amusement, "Why do you look like you're relieved?"
"No, no."
Jiang He shook his head and continued to look around.
She felt that something was not right. Why did they talk about her wedding?
Well, she had always regarded Xu Qing as her fiancé. She didn't know when it started …
Jiang He held Xu Qing's hand and squeezed it slightly. His eyes fell on Wang Zijun and the bride at the door.
It turned out that this was the modern marriage … No, marriage.
Then the two of them lived together.
Xu Qing held her hand and squeezed it. His eyes followed her gaze to the door. Wang Zijun was in a gown and was greeting the guests with a smile on his face.
That fool in college had begun the next phase of his life.
"This bride looks quite amazing." Qin Hao came over to gossip. He was shocked when he received the wedding invitation.
"She is more than amazing."
Xu Qing smacked his lips. It was unexpected but reasonable.
He had seen many girlfriends of Wang Zijun in the past. They were in their twenties. They wore heavy makeup. Their eyebrows were trimmed. They had big wavy curly hair. They talked like gangsters. They could go to five or six parties a day. They had a lot of makeup tools in their bags. They could take them out and apply them at any time.
Sometimes, they would take out their mobile phones and take videos. Sometimes, they would post it on their WeChat Moments. It was so embarrassing …
After meeting a few of them, Xu Qing kept a respectful distance from his girlfriends. He didn't even bother to remember their names.
It was like a chewed betel nut spat on the ground. It was full of dregs.
As for Wang Zijun's current bride, if he remembered correctly, she was a painter. That time when he saw her on the subway, although her dress was not as exquisite, she was neat and tidy. Then, she casually took Wang Zijun to the hotel.
Maybe it was this kind of woman who could deal with him.
Half of the table was filled with familiar people. Xu Qing glanced at them and greeted them. He grabbed a handful of almonds from the dried fruit plate on the table and shared them with Jiang He.
Jiang He was the best. When he wanted to beat someone up, he would tell you directly. He didn't lie or bluff. He just clenched his fist and threatened.
Speaking of which, after coming to modern times, the only thing she could rely on was her martial arts.
If she met someone who didn't fall for it …
Jiang He's eyes met Xu Qing's. He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Can I carry you in a sedan chair?" Xu Qing whispered.
"Can I?"
"Should be … okay."
"Eight sedan chairs?" Jiang He's eyes gradually lit up. He turned his head to look at the wedding scene.
"Eight sedan chairs with trumpets and braziers." Xu Qing laughed. "Isn't it awesome?"
She was wearing a red wedding dress with a phoenix draped over her head.
He didn't care whether it was Chinese or Western. If he could be carried in a sedan chair, Jiang He would definitely like it.
As for exchanging rings with a microphone?
Yes.
