It was almost two o 'clock when they got home.
There was no sound in the quiet neighborhood, only the dim yellow street lights on both sides and the sky full of stars.
Xu Qing walked in front with his pockets in his hands, and Jiang He followed him steadily, neither fast nor slow. There was not even a sound of footsteps.
The two of them were walking together, but Xu Qing felt that he was alone, as if he used to come home drunk in the middle of the night.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Walk faster, can you come to my side?" He said, "You're like a follower."
"I'm not a follower."
"You won't be if you come to my side."
They could already see the corridor in front of them, and it was only a few steps away. Jiang He took two steps forward to his side, and the two of them walked side by side for less than a minute before they reached the door.
After opening the door and turning on the lights, Xu Qing, who had finally reached home, threw himself on the sofa, turned his head to look at Jiang He, and moved his butt to make room for her.
"What did you say at the police station?"
"I'm your sister. I went to celebrate my birthday in high school."
"And then?"
"Nothing." Jiang He shook his head. "I didn't say anything else when they asked me."
Xu Qing finally understood why Qin Hao said she was dumb. He smiled and said, "You're really … smart."
He was caught off guard by going to the police station so early, and he was worried that something might have gone wrong. Now it seemed that Jiang He had adapted well to this place.
"The authorities here don't seem to be that scary."
Jiang He thought about those people she met. That dark-faced dwarf was full of smiles like a fool, and he even wanted to be her brother.
"Of course it's not scary. As long as you don't show your violent side, nothing will happen. You can stay there for a long time, and they even take care of you. Alright, go take a shower and go to bed. " Xu Qing was too lazy to move on the sofa, so he let her shower first. "Today's incident … seems to be going well."
Thinking about it carefully, she didn't suffer any losses from the fight. She brought Jiang He around and even saw the police station. Apart from the trouble of delaying for so long, everything else was good.
The most important thing was the side that Jiang He showed …
"Have you realized that you are very dependent on me now? Listen to everything I say. That brat scolded you, but you endured it and didn't do anything, "Xu Qing said to Jiang He, who had turned around to go into the room to get his clothes.
"I don't know anything. It's what I should do," Jiang He said.
"You're so obedient. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?"
"You won't."
Jiang He paused and added, "You are a good person."
She ate his food, used his things, and had always been helped by him. If she didn't believe in him and didn't listen to his instructions, then she might as well leave this place and wander outside by herself.
Before she could fully familiarize herself with this world, the only one who could and was willing to help her was Xu Qing.
"I'm already in the police station for fighting, and I'm still a good person … I can't let my dad know about this, or else he'll give me another political lesson."
Xu Qing thought of this, sat up, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Qin Hao.
If Qin Hao told his old man, Xu Wenbin would know tomorrow.
"He didn't touch my face," Jiang He explained after thinking for a while.
"I know. If he did, you would've been beaten to the ground long ago. You wouldn't even be able to stand up."
"…"
"Don't you think we're fighting like children playing house?" Xu Qing touched his nose and asked.
Jiang He didn't say anything, but he could tell from her expression that this was a fight?
"This is how it is here … In the future, if, and I mean if, some b * tch provokes you and you can't stand it, use this kind of strength at most. Don't hurt him, just make him feel pain. Otherwise, you'll go to jail."
"Why did you hit him?"
"Because he's a b * tch. Whenever I meet a b * tch, I'll beat him up."
Xu Qing lay back on the sofa and said slowly, "There are a lot of b * tches in this world, not only now, but also in your world. For example, some people want to wear beautiful clothes and branded shoes, but they can't afford them. Then, when they see you wearing them, they'll be unhappy, and they'll be jealous … But they only do this to people they know, and they think it's natural for them to be so much better than them. They think they deserve to be rich, and they can't stand it when the people around them live better than them … Isn't he a b * tch? This kind of person is a psychopath."
Jiang He thought about it and barely understood. "There's such a thing?"
"Haha, that's right. Damn it, there's such a thing. Beat him up."
Xu Qing was amused. "There are two kinds of people I despise the most. One is this kind of b * tch, and the other is a bootlicker. But this guy has both."
"What's a bootlicker?"
"It's a creature that either has everything, or must die. You'll know in the future."
"… I'm going to take a shower." Jiang He shook his head.
"Okay, go ahead."
Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Xu Qing slowly closed his eyes and rested on the sofa.
In fact, it's not bad to have someone at home to talk to. If he could lie down and sleep with her after taking a shower …
He suddenly woke up and looked at the ceiling, blinking.
Why did he have such a strange thought?
When Jiang He came out of the shower, his face was flushed from the steam, and water droplets were dripping from the ends of his hair. When he found the hairdryer and looked at him, Xu Qing found that he couldn't stay calm.
"Dry yourself, I'm going to take a shower too."
He controlled himself not to think too much, waved his hand hypocritically, went back to the house, found his pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
The steam was rising, and there was also the fragrance of shower gel.
Xu Qing patted his head, got rid of the messy thoughts, and resisted his primitive instinct.
It was too much of a test.
…
Jiang He struggled to dry her hair with the hairdryer. Although she was not used to it for the time being, it was indeed a good thing, and it could dry her hair quickly.
"I see a lot of girls on the street with short hair. Is it normal to shave your hair here?"
Seeing Xu Qing coming out of the shower, she asked.
"Hairstyle is personal freedom. If you like, you can shave your head." Xu Qing answered casually, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you want to cut it?"
"I'm just asking."
Jiang He really thought that short hair was very convenient, and there was no need to wash or dry it, but the long-held concept made her temporarily unable to accept it. She would think about it in the future.
"Don't cut it, it's so nice to have straight black hair …"
Xu Qing stopped on his way back to the bedroom, and simply turned around, "I'll help you. When you blow it, you have to keep moving it, blow it evenly …"
Jiang He sat on the chair obediently, listening to Xu Qing's nagging, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Helping a woman dry her hair is also very normal here, right?"
"… Normal, very normal."
A man and a woman alone in a room, drying their hair … These are very common, very normal things.
Xu Qing thought in his heart, trying to convince himself.
Night.
It was past two o 'clock in the morning.
The lights in the living room were on, and the hairdryer was humming, blowing hot air. No one spoke again, and a strange atmosphere arose in the room.
Both of them noticed this, and the atmosphere became more and more strange, but no one said anything, and continued to pretend to be normal.
