The weather was getting colder and colder.
After nightfall, they could feel the coolness of autumn.
Under the streetlights, Xu Qing wrapped his clothes and looked at Jiang He's denim jacket, guessing that she was not cold.
"I think it's better to call him after we get married." Jiang He had been silent since they left the house. Now, she looked back at the lights in the building behind her and said.
Xu Qing didn't expect her to be so serious about this matter. "You can call him when you want."
He followed Jiang He's gaze and looked back. The window of the study was lit up. He seemed to see Xu Wenbin in a long black shirt sitting in front of the desk.
Old man …
No matter how old-fashioned he was, he was still the head of the family. In many things, differences were not the reason, but the identity of the head of the family.
Middle-aged men often felt lonely because every day when they opened their eyes, they were surrounded by people who depended on them. No matter what the future held, they had to be responsible for the family.
Now, the identity of the two of them began to change in a sense.
The relationship between father and son didn't change, but their respective identities were different.
This day would come.
It was two men, not a dependent and dependent relationship.
Xu Qing thought about the look in Xu Wenbin's eyes when he looked out of the window before dinner. The corner of his mouth twitched. It didn't matter whether Jiang He called him or not. The old man's mood was probably complicated enough now.
"Do you want to move around?"
Xu Qing was half a step faster than Jiang He. He led her to the intersection and looked at the gorgeous neon lights in the distance. He thought for a moment and turned to ask Jiang He.
"Move around?"
"Yes … this way."
He turned and walked along the other road. He walked slowly along the street lights. Not long after, they arrived at the riverside.
The Lan River was still sparkling. They could vaguely see the lights in the distance. They were boats floating on the water.
There was no one around.
Jiang He finally understood what Xu Qing meant when he said to move around. She showed an expression of disbelief.
"Are you sure?" She was worried that Xu Qing might have lost his mind.
"Don't be too ruthless … I'm just trying. I'll let you exercise your muscles and bones. Otherwise, if you hold it in for too long, you'll become a psychopath."
Xu Qing took off his jacket and waved his hands, eager to try it out.
"Don't seriously injure me," he ordered.
"…"
Jiang He had never heard of such a strange request, so he had no choice but to satisfy him. He took out a rubber band from his pocket and tied his hair up. Then, he took two steps back and thought about how he could beat him up without getting seriously injured.
"Are you ready?" Jiang He's voice rang out and was blown away by the wind.
He was the one who requested it. Jiang He wasn't the one who wanted to beat this guy up.
"Come!"
…
Facts had proven that unwarranted confidence would only bring disaster upon oneself.
For the next two days, Xu Qing felt uncomfortable everywhere. His whole body was sore and painful, as if he had been beaten up by an eight hundred kilogram wild boar. After he was done, the boar stepped over him and ran away.
However, it wasn't like there were no benefits at all.
At least, he now clearly understood the difference between the two of them, as well as his ability to withstand pressure.
"Does it still hurt?" Jiang He asked while eating a bun. He poked Xu Qing with his finger. He was no longer grimacing like he was yesterday.
"Fortunately, I've been practicing for so long. Otherwise, you'd be murdering your husband," Xu Qing said.
"Who knew that you're still so weak after practicing for so long? I thought you could at least block one or two of my moves."
"Blaming me for being too weak?!"
Xu Qing's heart ached. He had been practicing very, very hard.
"Don't you know how to slide tackle?" Jiang He pursed his lips, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
"Too much damage." Xu Qing couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Deep Blue, add a point to me!"
“？”
A question mark appeared on Jiang He's head.
During the National Day holiday, the two of them didn't go anywhere. During the holiday, the scenic spots were full of people. Jiang He wielded a 1.6 meter long sword, the kind that could be used without equal. He would spit blood with just one swing.
They couldn't go far, so they could only stay at home and watch dramas and play games together.
It was rare for Xu Qing to have free time. Sometimes, he would stroll outside with a cup in his hand. He would stroll along this street and the neighboring street. As he walked along the street, his mind was filled with thoughts. He kept wondering if there was a better way.
The Tang Dynasty's plan to assimilate into the modern world was already half successful.
…
October 3rd.
Gong Ping and Jiang He didn't go fishing. They played at home. They were bored in the afternoon, so they dragged Xu Qing, who was watching dramas, to play Landlord. They used melon seeds as stakes.
Very quickly, Xu Qing won more than half of the two women's games.
Because of the way he kept track of the cards, he guessed what cards Jiang He had left. Jiang He suspected that Xu Qing was cheating, so he beat him up and snatched all the chips. Then, he turned around and continued to eat melon seeds and watch dramas with Gong Ping.
…
October 5th.
Gong Ping and Jiang He returned from fishing. They had a bountiful harvest. They were all small fish the width of two fingers. When they were dividing the fish at the corner, they accidentally said that Jiang He had bought a big fish on the first day. Xu Qing, who was watching them divide the fish with the window open, heard it. He looked at Jiang He with a strange expression for a day. Finally, he was threatened by Jiang He with his fist. Only then did he pretend that he didn't know about it.
…
On the sixth day.
Xu Qing accepted another advertisement. It was a domestic Wuxia mobile game. The selling point was no longer the face and the ability to play one against ten. Instead, it was the hardcore operation and the sense of impact. Xu Qing dragged Qin Hao over. Together, they put on the chainmail that they hadn't used for a long time and the two of them put on a Wuxia action show.
"Are you serious?"
Qin Hao was originally holding Xu Qing's sword and was still happily swinging it around. In the end, when he saw Xu Qing take out a 1.6 meter long sword from the storeroom, his eyes immediately became dull.
His eyes moved back and forth between the two people's swords. He had a mental breakdown.
"You can do this? What do you want to do with a 40-meter long sword at home?! "
"Work, work needs it."
Xu Qing waved it and also felt that it was a bit exaggerated. It was too much of a bully. He went back into the storeroom and took out the soft sword that Jiang He despised. Only then did it look a little more normal.
If it was the kind of game where you could charge 999 points for one attack, that big sword would probably be very suitable …
The weather was sunny. The two of them went to the open space next to the public fitness equipment in the outdoor community. Jiang He was the cameraman, and Xu Qing was the main actor and the action director. Actually, there was no need for any fancy moves. Qin Hao was just a small character. The complicated parts that needed to be done were all on Xu Qing's side.
Between the two of them, one was tall and one was short, one was fat and one was thin. It was obvious that it took them more than an hour to get it done.
Qin Hao happily waited for him to edit the video. He said that he wanted a copy. Although he was just a small character, he still looked very handsome wearing armor and holding a sword.
"Let me know when you're not busy. I'll bring Jiang He over to find you."
Xu Qing was working on the video. Qin Hao was playing with the sword. One moment, he made a sword gesture with his fingers. The next moment, he pulled out the sword and flicked it with his fingers.
The sword was the weapon of a gentleman. It was an upright and outspoken weapon. It was a blade that would rather break than bend.
Qin Hao liked this sword very much. Although his body shape and image were more suitable for an axe.
Holding the sword behind him, Qin Hao put one hand behind his back. He imagined himself to be an elegant swordsman. He raised his head and said, "Don't look for me. You guys have to go to the department over there."
"Okay, okay. But I guess I'll have to look for you guys to ask and investigate, right? This is not a replacement. She just appeared out of nowhere like an alien. "
"Alien?" Qin Hao frowned.
"Yes, an alien who can transform. She came to Earth to investigate and then launched a large-scale attack."
"…"
"That means she doesn't have a household registration. She hasn't even seen her parents, and she hasn't gone to an orphanage. Isn't the situation quite complicated?" Xu Qing continued.
"Well, according to what you said, it's very complicated. It's very rare." Qin Hao thought and nodded. "Generally speaking, people have a background. Where they come from, where they go, whether they were born in a hospital or a village, or something else … Even if they were abandoned in the past, if they were picked up, they would be registered with the person who picked them up or sent them to an orphanage. There's no such thing as …"
He scratched his head and turned to look at the closed bedroom door. He took the sword and sat on the sofa. He stared at the ceiling and thought for a while before he turned his head and said, "I remember I knew one before. She was adopted by an old nun in the temple, but the temple and the town knew each other, so they could solve everything. What happened to you?"
"The old lady who picked up scraps is not very clear-headed and uneducated. She doesn't have that much time to think. It's good enough that she can survive, and then …" Xu Qing shrugged. "There's nothing new under the sun. This is not strange. I just happened to be in time."
"You still managed to be in time!"
Qin Hao said angrily, "This is something that only happens in the news …"
"Aren't you also in the newspaper?"
"…"
Qin Hao opened his mouth but did not say anything. He, Xu Qing, and Wang Zijun were in the newspaper together.
"Let me ask around. I really haven't heard of this kind of thing. Generally speaking, at that time, cough." Qin Hao looked at the bedroom door again and lowered his voice. "Generally speaking, when the old lady dies, the local government will take over her, and everything will be there."
"Oh? Then why are there still children begging on the streets? "
"…"
Qin Hao paused for a while. "This is different."
"That's why it's not a normal story. She relied on herself to survive until now. It's all luck. Now she wants to be a normal person. Whether it's out of justice or social responsibility, you have to help her. Just pretend that you don't know me. Didn't I say to look for you if there's any trouble? After so many years … "
"Fine, fine, fine. I don't know much about this. I'll ask for you later."
Qin Hao sighed. It doesn't matter if he knows Xu Qing or not. Since Xu Qing is here, he will have to deal with this matter.
Xu Qing's fingers nimbly tapped on the keyboard. She had been chatting casually just now, and her movements never stopped. Qin Hao was dazzled by her movements, and he didn't know how to operate the keyboard at all.
Those who do not have to work at home are all capable.
After playing with the sword for a while, Dong Xuebing asked Xu Qing to send him a copy of the video.
"Are you showing it to your girlfriend?" Xu Qing asked.
"I don't have one!" Qin Hao's tone was very high, and he lowered his voice. "I don't have a girlfriend?"
"It's pointless to hide it."
"You haven't gotten a girlfriend yet. Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh … you still haven't gotten a girlfriend after so long?" Xu Qing was puzzled. Why is this fatty taking so long to find a girlfriend?
It's fine if you don't have a girlfriend. Why are you still dawdling when you have a goal?
"Don't worry about it. Make a copy of it for me when it's done."
Qin Hao waved his hand, got on his electric donkey, and galloped away.
He did not even accept Xu Qing's share of his hard work for filming the video.
The two of them were just looking for something new. Otherwise, they would not be wearing that stupid chainmail. Heh heh haha. Xu Qing can handle it alone at home.
After editing the video, Xu Qing sent it to Qin Hao via WeChat. He added special effects and flashed it. It looked awesome. He also sent a red packet to invite him and his girlfriend … the girlfriend who has not gotten a girlfriend yet to eat and watch a movie. Whether they can get a room or not depends on fate.
Qin Hao said, "You are vulgar and shameless. We are pure. Get a f * cking room."
The bedroom door was opened. Jiang He came out and floated to Xu Qing's side on a scooter. Then, she circled around the sofa where he was sitting. White Gourd was startled. He looked at the scooter under her feet warily. Finally, he jumped back onto the cat tree to stay away from this unknown thing.
"You're fooling me again." Jiang He was wearing a long dress. She put her hands behind her back and looked like a fairy.
"Don't step on this thing in the house. Aren't you afraid of falling?" Xu Qing looked straight ahead.
Jiang He pursed her lips. She got off the scooter and sat next to him. She took an apple and nibbled on it.
She crossed her legs and leaned on the sofa. She ate the apple and watched a video.
"This was played by Ping Ping. Isn't it awesome?" She played a part of Gong Ping's "Edge of the Zither." It was the song in the Kung Fu where two zither players killed the Wulang and the Bagua.
Xu Qing suddenly felt a knife flying over.
He looked sideways and was a little surprised. "She can play this?"
Jiang He had mentioned before that Gong Ping played the zither very well. Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he looked at it, it seemed that she was quite good.
"She knows a lot. She wants to teach me, but I don't think I can learn it." Jiang He clicked on her phone and made a heart gesture to Gong Ping.
Because the traffic on the small website was limited, Gong Ping posted on several platforms at the same time. She hoped that people like Jiang He could support themselves with their interests.
"You can learn if you want. You … It's more fun for an ancient person to play this." Xu Qing looked sideways at Jiang He and said with certainty, "Your temperament is different from theirs. You'll look good with a veil."
"Show you?"
"Who else would I show it to?"
"Hmph."
Jiang He snorted and continued to watch Gong Ping's other videos.
Gong Ping was dressed very fashionably. Not only did she not look out of place when she sat with the zither, but there was also a visual impact — or rather, she looked good and played the zither well.
"Actually, I don't recommend you to play too much of this."
"Why?"
"Because it has whatever you want to watch."
"…"
Jiang He was stunned. "Isn't that good? It's like reading a novel. "
"It's different."
"How is it different?"
"Well … after watching the Three Bodies, you might think of a lot of things when you look up at the starry sky. Your thoughts will be very colorful." Xu Qing thought for a while and gestured. "If you play too much of this, you won't have time to look up at the starry sky."
After a pause, he continued, "Even if you have time, there's nothing to think about in your head. You'll only think of hahaha, especially when you're an old lady from the Tang Dynasty."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
Jiang He leaned on him. "Teacher Xu."
"Hm?"
"Hahaha." Jiang He opened his mouth without changing his expression. "Is it like this?"
"…"
"An old lady from the Tang Dynasty?" she asked.
"A beautiful girl with white silk from the Tang Dynasty." Xu Qing corrected himself.
