There was a high probability of a breakup if nothing happened during a trip. This was a well-documented fact.
Now it happened … Well, they had a fight on the bed. No one could say that it didn't happen.
Jiang He held back. Xu Qing knew it very well. Otherwise, he would have been pinned to the bed from the very beginning.
So … when she agreed, would he be able to beat her?
Xu Qing felt that he had to think about what Jiang He was thinking. Otherwise, if one day he was surprised to find out that he could beat her, he would laugh with his hands on his waist and do nothing. That would be the end of him.
Women were all shy. They would use various methods to hint at each other. One step at a time, he couldn't resist desperately one day and then pounce on her the next …
The future was bright.
"I thought that you would be so touched that you would cry and beg me to sleep with you shamelessly when I brought you back here."
Xu Qing mumbled softly. He found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
"You haven't fallen asleep yet. Why are you dreaming?"
"Hmph, do you think you can run away? You are getting more and more arrogant now … "
"You can't beat me."
The two of them whispered in the night in this familiar yet strange city.
Jiang He lay beside him like a cat. Her black hair fell on the pillow. Xu Qing pinched the ends of her hair and twirled it gently. Not long after, she fell asleep.
Listening to Xu Qing's breathing gradually stabilized, Jiang He turned over and turned off the night light at the bedside. She opened her eyes in the dark and did not make a sound.
Her little feet hooked and rubbed against Xu Qing's leg. She suddenly remembered that friction would generate heat.
Second Mother didn't know as much as she did now …
…
The next day, they went out.
Xu Qing felt that his arm was still a little sore. He blamed Jiang He for being so stubborn in his heart.
He was the one who initiated the challenge, so he deserved it.
The young couple in the next room happened to go out. They saw Xu Qing and Jiang He coming out of the next room arm in arm. Their expressions were a little strange.
The boy looked at Xu Qing in awe.
Although he didn't know what happened in the room next door last night, it was a scary thing for a man to scream for so long. The commotion was not small either.
It's too frightening … Qin Ye didn't dare to look any longer. It was as if Xu Qing would pounce on him with another strange sound at any moment. Qin Ye hurriedly dragged his girlfriend away.
"The weather doesn't look too good."
Xu Qing scratched his nose and went out to check the weather. After thinking for a while, he returned to his room and carried his bag, which contained his umbrella and other things.
The sky was a little gloomy, and no sunlight could be seen.
The two of them found a place to eat breakfast and wandered around the streets for a while. When they were near the park, they finally bought a tourist map and looked at it as they walked into the park.
In March, the buds on the trees in Jiang City had just bloomed, but Suzhou was already full of flowers.
Large patches of tulips formed a scenic line by the roadside of the park. The different colors contrasted with each other.
The road was filled with cherry blossoms.
It was beautiful all year round, unlike Jiang City, which was bare in winter.
Jiang He obviously liked this park very much. He took pictures with his phone. The two of them walked and stopped. Xu Qing held the map in both hands and pondered. The original intention of this trip was to visit those historical sites, so he didn't make too detailed a plan. Now that he thought about it, other than bringing Jiang He to see the ancient traces, it was also good to play around.
The small river was neither fast nor slow, making a trickling sound as it passed through the city. He didn't know if there were fish … Jiang He was obviously thinking about this too. He turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see anyone fishing. He didn't know if fishing was prohibited or there were no fish.
Compared to Jiang City, Xu Qing suddenly felt that Suzhou was really f * cking great!
"This is Gusu a thousand years later …"
Jiang He stretched his arms and raised his head to take a deep breath. The faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air.
Xu Qing looked at her and felt happy.
Returning to the old land seemed to be a complex that all Huaxia people had.
A drop of liquid fell on his face. He looked up, followed by a second drop, a third drop …
Dense raindrops fell from the sky, hitting his head and shoulders.
The park was instantly covered by a curtain of rain. The sound of fine raindrops hitting the branches and the ground was heard. Xu Qing grabbed Jiang He and ran to the small pavilion next to them while protecting the map.
Fortunately, it was not the weekend, so there were not many people in the park at this time. The two of them sat on the stone bench and looked at the curtain of rain, smiling at each other.
"See, I told you that you were unlucky. It rained on the first day out." Jiang He stretched out his hand to feel the spring rain.
"You're the unlucky one. I even brought an umbrella."
"Only one?"
"Of course."
Xu Qing put his backpack on the stone bench and spread out the map. After searching for a moment, he pointed to a place and said, "We are here now, and that is Tiger Hill …"
It was much more convenient to have a map. Even if Jiang He couldn't recognize where it was, he could get a general idea after careful study.
The rain continued to fall, and there were not many people in the park. Xu Qing tilted his head and saw a flower umbrella not far away.
It was a young woman. Her petite figure was completely covered by the umbrella, walking alone in the rain.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze after a glance and continued to lie on the stone bench with Jiang He, trying to figure out where her stronghold might be.
"Look, just use these points as the center and calculate the speed of your horse. Then, how long will it take for you to get there? Draw a circle with the distance as the radius, and draw three intersecting points. That's the location. "
"Another question?"
"This is called practical application."
The two of them moved their fingers on the map. Jiang He frowned and thought carefully.
"It's not easy to measure the speed of a horse. We're riding a horse, not a car, so it won't show the speed. From here to Tiger Hill to the village … "
"I've never been to Cold Mountain Temple …"
Listening to the sound of the rain, the two of them were deep in thought and talking. Suddenly, there was a soft sound. Xu Qing tilted his head and was startled. He turned back and looked at Jiang He.
Jiang He blinked and couldn't react for a moment.
Xu Qing straightened his body and turned to look at the empty surroundings. His heart skipped a beat.
"F * ck!"
He suddenly cursed in a low voice and ran out with his hand covering his forehead. "Don't move! I'll go and take a look. "
Jiang He's eyes widened a little as he watched him run to the shore and look down. Then, he turned back and shouted, "Call the police!"
As he shouted, he had already taken off his coat. Without any hesitation, Xu Qing disappeared from the shore with a plop. Seeing this, Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.
It was still drizzling.
In this weather, there were fewer and fewer people in the park. Maybe Xu Qing's shout had alarmed people, because after a while, people gathered around.
"What's going on?"
"Seems like someone jumped in."
"Young lad, don't tell me he's so stupid?"
"No, this young lad went to save people. F * ck, it's such a cold day. It's dangerous. "
The police cars with flashing red and blue lights also rushed over. When Xu Qing climbed up the shore with his teeth chattering, he was already surrounded by a circle of people.
It was early spring in March, and the cold air had not subsided yet. The river was bone-chilling.
If it weren't for the improvement of his physical fitness, Xu Qing felt that he would have died there.
He hugged his arms and took the clothes that Jiang He handed over. Seeing that the scene had been taken over, he pulled Jiang He and prepared to leave.
"That …" A police officer called him from behind.
"If I don't go back and change, I'll freeze to death."
Xu Qing wrapped his clothes and said. He didn't stop but walked faster.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xu Qing shook his head and said with his teeth chattering, "You're right. We're both unlucky."
"That girl …" Jiang He looked back.
"She choked on a few mouthfuls of water, but she's fine."
On the way home, he threw away his wet clothes and took a hot shower. Xu Qing covered himself with the quilt for a long time.
Today's plan was ruined.
…
It drizzled for a week.
On the second day in Suzhou, Xu Qing swam in the water. He lay on the bed and wondered if he was really a little unlucky.
Qin Hao wasn't there. Otherwise, Qin Hao would have jumped in.
"The rain still hasn't stopped?"
"No."
Not only did the plan that day seem to have gotten into some bad luck, but the planned outing was also interrupted by the continuous rain.
It had been raining non-stop for the past few days. Xu Qing and Jiang He could only walk around nearby and didn't go too far.
The water was just a small episode. At that time, they didn't even leave their phone number and left. They didn't plan to show up.
"This is called learning from Lei Feng. Don't leave your name," Xu Qing said and said proudly, "Don't I look like a chivalrous hero?"
"Yes, yes, yes. You're a hero. Are you afraid that I'll kill you if you marry me?"
"Tsk, how can there be so many people in modern society? They might even scold me for being a busybody."
"Then why did you save her?"
"I can't do it. It's a life after all."
Xu Qing lay cross-legged on the bed and posted the draft he prepared in advance. He couldn't go out to play because of the rain. He took advantage of this opportunity to continue working.
If the rain continued, the two's trip would definitely be postponed and they would stay in Suzhou for a few more days.
"Some people are just temporarily stuck in a dead end and can't take it anymore. If someone can give her a hand, she may retreat. Then, looking at the things that make her unable to take it anymore, she will find that it's not a big deal. But if no one gives her a hand, it's gone. "
"You're such a good person."
"Why do I feel that you're weird?" Xu Qing looked at Jiang He and found that she was quite serious.
"I suddenly thought that you might not have kept me because you were attracted to me." Jiang He snorted softly.
"No, you're wrong. At that time, I was attracted to you."
"…"
Jiang He leaned on Xu Qing's back in boredom, watching him edit on the computer and watching dramas.
It didn't matter if she was attracted to him or not. Anyway, this person was quite … asking for a beating.
She fiddled with Xu Qing's ear and suddenly kissed him hard on the cheek.
"Actually, I didn't cut you because you're so good-looking."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Hahahaha, I knew that you were lusting after my beauty. You stared at me until you were drooling."
"…"
This was the kind of person who would take a mile when given an inch.
Although Xu Qing left quietly at that time, he kept paying attention to the news. When the local news came out, he took a screenshot and planned to brag to Xu Wenbin when he got back.
What was chivalrous and courageous? What was a descendant of Xu Chu?
A rain disrupted the two's trip. It wasn't until the eighth day that the weather cleared up again.
The warm sunlight shone in through the window. Xu Qing had packed his things early in the morning. He stuffed bread and mineral water into his backpack and went out with Jiang He.
Previously, they had fixed the location on the map for a long time and finally figured out the approximate location of the village.
It was a small hillside in the suburbs. They couldn't see anything on the map, and they didn't know if there were any hotels or farmhouses nearby. The two didn't check out of the hotel and directly took the subway to rush there.
"Don't you feel that we're out to do chivalrous deeds?"
Xu Qing sat on the subway and looked left and right. He brought the heroine of the Tang Dynasty to run around the city. For some reason, he felt a little strange.
What was chivalrous?
Seeing injustice on the road, he would draw his sword to help.
However, he couldn't draw his sword now, and there was no room for chivalrous deeds. Many things were risky, and he could only stand up for specific things …
He also had to let Jiang He take a video with his phone.
He sighed. He should have woken up from his dream of being a chivalrous man long ago. Although a man would die young, it was better to keep his dream deep in his heart than to let it be shattered by reality.
"Why don't you become a police officer?"
"I can't be one. That's called a government officer. It's a natural conflict with me, a vagabond."
"You're a vagabond … You haven't been out many times, and the soundproofing of the room you booked is bad." Jiang He finally caught his tail. In the past, she always thought that this person was good at everything. Now that she looked at it, he was actually just a little smarter than her.
Just a little bit.
"I've just started to travel."
The two of them whispered to each other and leaned against the railing.
After the subway arrived at the station, they took a taxi to the suburbs. The road was not as desolate as they imagined.
When they arrived at their destination, the two of them took the map, passed by the cemetery, and climbed up the hillside.
The air still had the fresh smell of the soil after the rain.
Jiang He looked around and frowned. He looked at the map and said with uncertainty, "It should be near here."
"It doesn't look like a good place."
"This used to be a large forest …"
Jiang He pointed to the distance, and her voice trailed off halfway.
Xu Qing looked at her expression and guessed, "You came from that forest?"
"… Yes."
Jiang He nodded her head. After a moment of silence, she smiled at him. "Let's go over and have a look. Do you think I'll go back in a flash?"
"If it's a flash, it should be the two of us going back."
Xu Qing looked over. The place she pointed to had become an open space, and there were stone steps beside it.
"Let's not go." He thought for a while and said.
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. It's just … what if there's an earthquake when we go there?"
“？”
Jiang He curled his lips. "You're just afraid."
"I'm afraid? I … "
"Okay, let's not go."
Jiang He let out a long sigh, squatted down on the hillside, and looked into the distance.
It was really unnecessary. Even if she could go back, she would find someone to marry, and then look at the starry sky and miss everything in the modern world.
"Are you sure it's here?"
"Yes."
Seeing Jiang He nodded, Xu Qing looked around, squatted down, and mumbled something.
"What are you doing?" Jiang He was puzzled.
"I'm telling them that you're doing well here, and they don't have to worry about you."
"They might move to other places. It won't be long before the An-Shi Rebellion."
Jiang He plucked a weed and twirled it in his hand. He looked into the distance, and his eyes became profound.
"Does this count as my maiden home?"
She suddenly asked after a long time.
"Uh … I guess so. Should I kowtow?" A lightbulb flashed on Xu Qing's head.
"I find that you become stupid here."
"…"
Xu Qing didn't refute.
The chaotic time and space and the passage of thousands of years were quite unsettling.
"Burn some incense." He took out a joss stick from his bag.
