Xiaoxiao kept her word. The next day, she came over with a small bag containing a few books, pen and paper.
She was stunned when she saw Xu Qing and Xu Jin practicing pushing hands on the balcony. She looked at Xu Qing with awe.
Xiaoxiao thought about what Shi 'an said yesterday and reconsidered the scar on her father's stomach.
Although her father said that he was stabbed while bravely trying to save her mother, she felt that it was not that simple. Perhaps it was true that he saved her mother, but it was worth thinking about whether he was a good samaritan or not …
It was possible that he was stabbed during a street fight. Then, Qin Hao pulled Yu Li and fled for their lives. Yu Li took care of Qin Hao on the way, and the two slowly developed feelings for each other …
When she connected all the unusual events, the truth gradually emerged.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to learn from Xiao Jin? So that Shi 'an won't bully you. "
Xu Qing turned around and smiled. Xiaoxiao hugged the books in her arms tightly at the sight of his pearly white teeth.
"G-godfather, there's no need."
Xiaoxiao shook her head quickly and ducked into Shi 'an's room.
With homework as an excuse, there was no need to look for Xu Jin …
With Xu Qing, a loafer, constantly paying attention to him, Shi 'an's grades had always been above average. Every time he needed help from Xu Qing, he would jump up a notch.
Xu Qing even suspected that this kid was doing it on purpose. Every two months, he would fail a little, and then he would rush up again to take advantage of him. However, she could not find any evidence.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xu Qing asked his daughter.
After practicing pushing hands, Xu Qing and Xu Jin rested in the living room. Although his daughter could be black-hearted sometimes, she was a useful little traitor when it came to Xu Shi 'an.
"It's very possible," Xu Jin said.
"Really?"
"But I can't find any evidence."
Xu Jin spread her hands. She couldn't say that Shi 'an did it on purpose if he did badly …
"Wait for the college entrance exam. If he suddenly explodes, you can find a reason to beat him up. He's having fun picking up girls. How much effort do I have to put in?"
Xu Qing was furious. Suspicions were suspicions, but just in case, he was worried that Shi 'an, the little brat, was really bad at his studies. He still had to make up for the missed lessons.
"I'm not that kind of bad sister. How can I find a reason to beat my younger brother for no reason?" Xu Jin felt that her father had a deep misunderstanding of her. Now that Shi An was taller than her, it would be difficult for her to bully him.
"Last time, he told your mother that you were so hot-tempered and like a tomboy. You might not be able to get married."
"…"
…
When Xu Shi 'an came out to drink some water, he felt goosebumps all over his back. He turned around and saw Xu Jin sitting on the sofa with his head lowered as he swiped his tablet.
"Sis, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing."
"Why do I feel like you just peeked at me?"
"What's so good about you?"
"I'm so handsome … Fine, fine."
Xu Shi 'an didn't dare to be shameless anymore. He shrugged and brought his glass of water over to see what Xu Jin was playing.
"Where is Xiaoxiao?"
"I'm a little sleepy. I'll take a nap in my room."
"Oh."
Xu Jin's fingers swiped on the tablet. This was Xu Qing's. Xu Qing and his wife would only buy her a new one when she went to university. She liked to watch Xu Qing's platforms. Xu Shi 'an felt that he could do it on his own, but Xu Jin was different. He tried to write some analysis and thought that he was good enough, but no one read it.
"Your father's nearly 20 years of accumulation and luck. What do you have to compete with him?" Xu Qing mocked her.
To be fair, Xu Qing didn't want Xu Jin to be interested in what he was doing. It was different from when Xu Wenbin objected to him because he didn't understand it. He understood it too well. Nowadays, the internet was changing rapidly, and the difficulty of stability had increased correspondingly. If he had to start all over again, it would be difficult for him to replicate himself.
It was better to inherit Jiang He's flower shop. However, he would have to be the prince for many years — at least for more than ten years. Jiang He had no intention of letting go of the flower shop. He was very happy with the flowers.
Jiang He got off work very early recently. When Gong Ping was pregnant and gave birth, she worked very hard for a long time and gave Gong Ping a lot of bonuses. Now that Gong Ping was a little more relaxed, and the flower shop was close to home, she often took care of the work from afternoon to night, so that it would be convenient for Jiang He to help the child take the college entrance exam.
Although Jiang He was semi-illiterate and couldn't help the siblings at all, her presence at home was a deterrent to the three of them … That's right, three of them.
Knowing that Xiaoxiao was coming to study, Jiang He came back with a big watermelon on the way back. She carried the net bag with one hand and went upstairs easily. When she entered the house, she only saw the siblings sinking into the sofa.
"Eat watermelon. Where's Xiaoxiao?"
She went into the kitchen to cut it, and the watermelon fell neatly on the plate.
"Taking an afternoon nap in Shi 'an's room." Xu Jin lowered his head.
"Why in Shi 'an's room?"
"Because we're tired from studying." Xu Shi 'an had already picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.
"Then … put it in the fridge first. It'll taste better when it's chilled."
Jiang He took half of it and stuffed it into the fridge.
In the living room, several people were eating watermelon. Xu Qing took a piece and went back to the balcony. He lay on the chair and drew on the tortoise shell. The beetle obviously didn't know what he was doing and lay there obediently.
Xu Jin used another finger to draw while eating. Suddenly, she saw an article written by an account named "I'm not He Miao" that Xu Qing had bookmarked. She couldn't help but stare.
"Pfft … Cough, cough, cough! Mom! You wrote this? "
She pointed at the … let's call it a ghost story for now.
"Not me." Jiang He spat out a watermelon seed and didn't even look at it.
"Then who wrote it?"
"Your dad wrote it."
"I don't believe it. How could my dad write this kind of … Uh … Okay." Facing Jiang He's increasingly dangerous eyes, Xu Jin wisely changed his words.
"Hahaha, the one who argued with you and said that there are no ghosts in the world is my dad, right?"
She couldn't help but laugh when she read the last part. "Were you two dating or married at that time? Or did you start to know each other here? Mom, how about I teach you to write ghost stories? As long as you give me — "
"Xu Qing, control your daughter."
Jiang He said without raising his head.
"Your daughter." Xu Qing shouted from the balcony.
"Xu Qing!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I wrote it. It's all me … Xiao Jin, are you very free?"
Xu Shi 'an was secretly happy. After eating the watermelon, he washed his hands and prepared to go back to his room.
"Where are you going?" Jiang He tilted his head.
"Back to my room."
"Isn't Xiaoxiao taking a nap?" She opened the door and took a look. Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly on Shi Shi 'an's bed. Half of her clothes were lifted up, revealing her belly. Her skirt was also rolled up, revealing a little above her knees.
Jiang He turned around and glared at him.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shi 'an didn't see inside and still wanted to go in.
"I don't want your face!"
Xu Shi 'an was dragged back to the sofa by his collar by Jiang He. He sat down quietly and waited for Xiaoxiao to wake up.
…
When Xiaoxiao woke up, she rubbed her eyes and yawned. The soft sunset light shone through the window, illuminating the room with a bit of orange.
Gold powder was scattered on the corner of the desk. She woke up in a daze. In this gentle afternoon, she suddenly realized the feeling of peace and quiet as described in the books.
With the guqin and the zither, everything is peaceful and quiet. Time is peaceful and the world is stable. Life and death are united, and a promise is made.
She suddenly wanted to stop time at this moment.
Lying back on the pillow and taking a deep breath, Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something. She turned her head and saw Xu Shi 'an, the silly big guy, squatting at the door and peeping at her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Shh … I sneaked in," Xu Shi 'an said. He sneaked in when Jiang He wasn't paying attention. When he closed the door, Xiaoxiao woke up. He thought he accidentally woke her up.
The girl who just got up had a unique lazy posture. She sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes with her fingers. Xu Shi 'an looked at her from the side.
The afterglow of the sunset fell on her hair and the side of her face. It was very beautiful.
