"This is the modern world!"
Jiang He stood in front of the glass window and looked out. The twinkling lights set off the bustling and noisy night of the city.
Under the boundless night sky, she could not help but marvel at the magnificent night scenery as she stood high up in the sky.
After getting the identity, her mentality had changed unconsciously. Now, she was re-examining the entire Jiangcheng.
This was the human civilization, the world that had developed for more than 1,200 years since the Tang Dynasty.
"I say, don't get so close. What if you break the window and fall down? I don't believe you can fly."
"I definitely can't fly so high up. The window is very sturdy …"
"Don't try. It's very sturdy for me, but not for you."
"Alright …"
Jiang He took a few steps to the side and looked down hard.
Xu Qing lay on the bed and looked at her back lazily. This was the highest hotel in Jiangcheng. The two of them came here — to get a room.
Yes, that's right, to get a room.
Seeing Jiang He making a fuss, Xu Qing felt like he had returned to more than a year ago.
A bumpkin was a bumpkin.
Even with an identity card, he was still a bumpkin in Kaiyuan.
He had never heard of a young couple who came to get a room to see the high-rise experience and not to have sex. It was ridiculous.
Xu Qing was full of complaints. Jiang He did not have a direct experience of choosing the bottom floor, middle floor, or high-rise. Therefore, he came to the high-rise to stay for one night, two nights … If Jiang He wanted to stay longer, it was fine. He wanted to experience it first.
After all, when she was not stupid, she was sassy and had a bit of a queen's temperament. Maybe she liked the feeling of being cold at the top. When he bought a house, he would choose the high-rise. The heating on the top floor was not as good as the low-rise, but there was no one jumping around on the roof to make noise.
Moreover, the two of them were martial artists.
If the top floor could have a balcony, it would be even better. Jiang He could hold a long sword and exercise his muscles.
"The big bed is also soft!"
Jiang He turned around and jumped onto the bed, lying on it. "It's even softer than ours."
"If you like it, you can change it after you buy a house."
"No, I feel sore all over after sleeping for a long time. It's better to have a firmer bed." Jiang He felt that it was okay to sleep on such a soft bed once in a while. If he slept on such a soft bed for a long time, he would become useless.
"You like hard ones?" Xu Qing asked.
"… Are you driving?" Jiang He lay on the bed and turned his head to look at him.
"What nonsense are you thinking in your head? You've learned bad things."
Xu Qing threw the blame to Jiang He without changing his expression. Although he did want to tease her just now …
Heroine was no longer fun.
"Hmph!"
Jiang He transformed into a Humming Monster and punched the bed hard in an attempt to shake Xu Qing up, but to no avail. Jiang He gave him a kick, and Xu Qing was caught off guard and fell on his butt.
"I'm going to shower," she said.
"Together?"
"Xu Qing, don't cross the line!"
"Throw him aside when you're done with him. You called him Teacher Xu when you didn't get the identity, but now you call him Xu Qing …"
Jiang He turned back on the way to the bathroom, took off her slippers, and kicked Xu Qing who was muttering beside the bed.
Xu Qing didn't fall this time. He grabbed her calf and touched it. Her white and tender calf was smooth, and it felt good.
"Take this!"
The two of them exchanged a few blows. Xu Qing parried her one-handed attacks. Just when he felt that he had made some progress in martial arts, Jiang He pressed him down on the bed and rubbed his buzz cut a few times. Satisfied, she put on her slippers again and went to shower.
"Why is the bathroom glass?" Jiang He was very surprised. She looked back at Xu Qing and touched the glass, feeling that this design was very retarded.
"I can't see it. At most, it's a blurry shadow."
"Won't it make your imagination run wild?"
"Ah, now that you mention it, it's true."
"You shower first."
"No, I'm already asleep." Xu Qing lay on the bed and snored.
When the bathroom door opened, he tilted his head and looked at the light in the bathroom. He turned over on the bed and wondered if he would scare her when he stood at the door.
"I didn't bring pajamas. You can come out wrapped in a bath towel." Xu Qing reminded.
"…"
The figure under the running water in the bathroom froze.
"You did it on purpose?"
"No, I just thought of it."
Xu Qing paced back and forth outside the door. Jiang He, who heard his voice approaching, was obviously a little nervous.
"What, what do you want to do?"
"What song did the old corpse in the mountain village sing? Ah ~ Wu Wu Wa ~ "
"Xu Qing!"
Xu Qing suddenly became silent.
"Hey!" Jiang He shouted inside.
"Teacher Xu!"
"… Wait for me to go out!"
Jiang He was furious. This guy was doing it on purpose.
"Jiang ~ He ~" Xu Qing shouted with a trembling voice.
"Childish!"
"It's quite childish."
Xu Qing touched his nose and turned back to the bed. He didn't know why, but he always wanted to tease her.
After a while, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped. Jiang He's shadow moved in the bathroom for a moment, and then he carefully opened the door.
With steam all over his body, Jiang He wrapped himself in a bath towel and glared at him.
"Why don't you try saying 'Damn it!' in a low voice?"
"…"
Jiang He didn't say anything and slowly walked closer.
"Fists and feet have no eyes. If you want to fight, I'll take off your bath towel." Xu Qing stepped back a little.
"…"
Jiang He's face was flushed from the shower. She didn't say anything and grabbed the wide bath towel with one hand to prevent it from falling off. She walked in front of Xu Qing.
"Let's not talk about whether you can take it off or not. Lying in the same bed every day, do you think I'll be afraid of you taking it off?" She narrowed her eyes and moved closer.
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he shouldn't have been so cheap just now.
"Go on, wah wah?"
"I was wrong."
"Hmph, hurry up and take a bath."
Jiang He wrapped himself in the bath towel and sat at the side. She picked up her phone and looked at it. Gong Ping was calling her to play games.
"I'm not home tonight, so I can't play."
"Where are you going if you're not at home at night?"
"I'm going to get a room with Xu Qing."
"… Interesting."
Gong Ping exited the chat.
After wiping himself clean, Jiang He hid under the blanket and only revealed his head to look at the bathroom.
Xu Qing only took a quick shower and quickly came out with his hair dried. He saw Jiang He playing with her phone. He wrapped himself in the bath towel and stood in front of the window, looking at the night view of the city outside.
It was a good feeling to be on the top. He could see far from the top.
In this city full of tall buildings, it was a little depressing. It was not like the countryside in the mountains. Compared to the lower floors, living on the top floor was more spacious.
"Close the curtains," Jiang He said as he curled up under the blanket.
"This is the highest floor, and no one can see us. Besides, you're wrapped in a blanket."
"That won't do. It's weird."
"Some people like to stand by the window and do bad things in this kind of place." Xu Qing closed the curtains, turned off the lights, and hid under the blanket.
"That's too weird." Jiang He imagined that scene and suddenly blushed.
"Everyone has their own hobbies …"
"Don't tell me you like it too?"
"I don't know how. I don't have that kind of hobby."
"Oh."
"…"
"…"
"This is a great torture for me now." Xu Qing groped around and sighed.
People were always greedy. At first, he just wanted to hold her hand. Then, he wanted to hug her. Then, he wanted to move into a room with air conditioning. Then, he wanted to play with a teddy bear. Then …
People were always so unsatisfied.
Xu Qing looked at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.
"That's why I don't think we should live together. Who told you to trick me into moving into your room and enjoy the air conditioning together … We can only live together after we get married?" Jiang He said with his eyes closed.
"If I can beat you, can I force you?"
"Of course. Do you still need to ask me? You can just beat me. "
"Then let's try and see if I can beat you now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
Listening to Xu Qing's solemn tone, Jiang He was slightly surprised. Then, he looked back at him. His eyes wandered and he laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Qing asked.
"Okay, let's try." She reached for her clothes on the bedside table.
"Forget it. You don't have to try if you want to wear clothes."
"I knew it."
Jiang He retracted his hand back into the quilt and hid it under the quilt. He was also in a dilemma.
After all, he had no experience. It was quite scary.
Xu Qing smelled her neck. He had basically done what he should do. He looked forward to it even more.
After all, he had no experience. He always wanted to try.
"If people know that I am like this, they will definitely laugh at me for being a eunuch."
"No, you just can't beat me."
"…"
Xu Qing burst into tears.
"If I were Lin Daiyu, you would have done it long ago." Jiang He whispered.
"No! I must try! "Xu Qing suddenly turned over and got up.
The next moment, Jiang He pressed his hands on the bed.
"…"
"…"
"Okay, go to sleep. Don't mess around. Good night." Xu Qing gave up.
He was tired.
He should have been mentally prepared for this when he accepted the heroine.
Jiang He kissed him and lay back. She wrapped the quilt tightly to prevent the wind from leaking.
Although it was warmer in the hotel than at home, it was a habit to wrap the quilt neatly.
The night light was turned off. The room was quiet for a while. Jiang He gently turned over and rubbed her little feet against his leg.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qing asked.
"I am helping you."
"…"
…
After getting her ID card, Jiang He scanned through the things she had written in her notebook.
The weather was getting colder.
She pulled out Jiang He's precious cotton pants again. It was warm to wear. Her shoes were also changed to cotton.
She took her ID card to the business office to transfer the SIM card. Then she went to the bank to apply for a bank card.
This series of actions even gave Xu Qing the illusion that she was ready to run away.
"Boss, how many minutes in an hour?"
Jiang He held her phone and ID card tightly. She was amazed by the rows of computers in the internet cafe. If she had so many computers and moved bricks at the same time, she would have made a fortune.
"Six … sixty minutes."
"So expensive?!" Jiang He was shocked. She pulled Xu Qing and ran away. "Let's play at home."
"…"
"…"
Xu Qing turned around and showed a helpless look to the boss. He gestured his head with his fingers.
He was an idiot.
"What else? What should we do now? "Jiang He held her ID card and thought about it.
They did not want to go far in the winter. They planned to wait until spring to go to Gusu … oh, now called Suzhou.
"Get a marriage certificate."
"What certificate?"
"Marriage certificate."
"…"
Jiang He was taken aback. For some reason, he asked, "Is it expensive?"
"It seems to be nine yuan."
"So cheap?"
"Maybe."
…
Zhou Suzhi felt very strange. They ran over. After sitting for a while, Xu Qing asked where his father went.
Of course, he went to work.
"Well, there's something I want to check."
Xu Qing dashed into the study. Zhou Suzhi pulled Jiang He and wanted to talk, but Xu Qing ran out again.
"Oh, I almost forgot something. I'll come back in the afternoon."
Zhou Suzhi was stunned. Then she saw the two ran away again.
What the hell was this kid doing …
"Why don't you tell her?" Jiang He went downstairs and asked.
"We'll give them a surprise in the future. To be honest, it's quite troublesome. If we tell her, she will think that the young man is impulsive, or thinks that we are doing something … or maybe after we get the certificate, she will urge us to have children or have a wedding. These are all possible."
"Urge us to have children …"
"Anyway, you are a strange person. It's normal for us to do some strange things. Besides, don't you think it's very exciting? It's like eloping. "
"It's quite similar." Jiang He nodded. The two of them did not know, and neither did Xu Qing's family. It was just the two of them. The two of them had lived together for so long and then secretly went to get a nine-dollar marriage certificate.
"The last sentence is the main point. You like the excitement of eloping," she continued.
"Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, if we break up, we will be beaten to death. We have to get this certificate sooner or later. It doesn't matter if they find out sooner or later. They have already brought you home for the New Year, and they didn't show any objection … By the way, last time, my mom asked me on WeChat when we are going to get married. She must be anxious to have grandchildren. "
"Let's make it clear. Even if we get the certificate, you can't … can't bully me." Jiang He was looking forward to getting the certificate, but he was afraid that Xu Qing would use this as an excuse to force him into the bridal chamber.
Before they got married, it was reasonable to reject him. If they got married and then beat him up, it would be wrong.
"Who's bullying who?" Xu Qing felt very embarrassed. He was the one being bullied.
Jiang He did not say anything. He took his family's household registration book from his hand and looked at it with a smile on his face.
This book was different from hers. Hers only had one page, and it was the household registration card that came with her identity.
When they got on the taxi and learned that their destination was the Civil Affairs Bureau, the taxi driver looked back and congratulated them with a smile.
"Getting married?"
"Of course. The weather is good today. Let's get the certificate."
"Haha, the weather is good. It's good."
This reason was great. The taxi driver drove steadily and stopped at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
It was just past the lunch break at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On this sunny afternoon, the two of them walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau hand in hand.
Xu Qing realized that he did not need to spend nine yuan now. It was free.
The nine yuan that he prepared in advance could not be used.
"I've made a fortune!"
Jiang He held the nine yuan in his hand. He was happier than when he got the certificate. "It's free today. Let's go buy Coke."
"…"
…
"Mom!"
"Auntie."
"Why are you back again?"
Seeing them coming back, Zhou Suzhi continued to be confused. What were they doing?
"Where's my dad?"
"Didn't he say he was going to work!"
"Oh, I'm going to his study to check something." Xu Qing went into the study and put the household registration book back in its original position.
Jiang He was drinking from a bottle of Coke. Zhou Suzhi scratched her head. "What's he doing today?"
"He's … happy."
"Checking what?"
"Household registration."
“??”
Seeing Xu Qing come out, Zhou Suzhi felt very strange. This guy must be up to something.
"You …" She was just about to speak.
Clatter.
A book fell out of Xu Qing's pocket.
"…"
"…"
"What?"
"Nothing. I dropped the marriage certificate." Xu Qing picked it up and wiped the dust.
“???”
