Xu Qing held onto a rope that was tied to a small car. It had four wheels and was running on the ground. The tortoise was in the car, and he was taking his pet for a stroll.
He did not expect this middle-aged man to be Xu Jin's father. He was wearing sunglasses so he could not tell.
"Dad, this is my friend, Zhou Yiqing."
"Yes, I can see that." Xu Qing nodded and stared at his friend with bright eyes.
Unfortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see it.
However, Zhou Yiqing felt even more stressed through the sunglasses.
What's going on with this family? Why did they suddenly appear out of nowhere?
He could not help but turn around to see if there was an auntie who looked like Xu Jin.
"Why are you walking around when your friend is here? Bring him home." Xu Qing turned around with the tortoise.
"Dad, he is just a friend."
"Nonsense. Who would bother with a stranger?"
"… I have something to do." Xu Jin was helpless.
"Really? Young man, do you have something to do? "Xu Qing turned around and stared at him.
"Do … you?" Zhou Yiqing's heart was pounding.
"No!" Xu Shi 'an did not know why he was so excited.
"Let's go."
Xu Jin rubbed his forehead and turned around.
"Sister, is this your boyfriend? Is he? He must be … ah! "
Xu Qing and Zhou Yiqing, who were walking in front, turned around. Xu Shi 'an looked at the shop next to him nonchalantly and rubbed his arm.
Zhou Yiqing was very reserved as he was brought by Xu Qing as a guest. He was not prepared for what was happening and was even worried that Xu Jin would explode.
"Uncle, don't misunderstand. Xu Jin and I are friends. I am her senior. Yes … I pursued her before but was rejected." He said straightforwardly.
"Is that so?" Xu Qing realized that it was different from what he thought but did not show it. "It's normal. I often order her around and she rejects me."
"Ahaha …"
"You are classmates?"
"Yes, I am her senior. I am older than her. I am a postgraduate student. "
"Oh, that's impressive."
Xu Qing nodded. He wanted to complain. Eh, he was not her boyfriend. That was fine.
Graduate students were also quite powerful.
"You guys talk first, I'll bury the beetle in the sand." Xu Qing went to find the tortoise.
Xu Jin leaned on the side to watch the show, watching Xu Qing's performance. "You're not going to ask anymore?"
"Ask what?" Xu Qing was puzzled. "Isn't this your friend?"
"…"
This father could always make people angry.
Xu Shi 'an became disinterested as well. He looked at Xu Jin suspiciously.
"Your house is quite high up. The top floor is really spacious," Zhou Yiqing stood up and praised.
"Not bad."
Zhou Yiqing saw the armor hanging in the corner and asked, "This is?"
"It's my dad's. He likes to wear this and play with swords."
Zhou Yiqing nodded silently. Sword? Are there still people who play such things nowadays?
When Xu Jin saw that Ren Baqian's gaze was on the sandbag hanging on the balcony, Xu Jin said, "That's my brother's. He's the one who's free."
He could have just been training his fist, but he insisted on fighting with Xu Qing. It was as if Sanda was better than Tiger Fool's Fist.
Zhou Yiqing looked at Xu Shi 'an. Hmm … it was indeed very strong.
"Uncle and the others are quite … martial artists." He thought for a while and came up with this word.
"Wuxia is poisoned. Look, that's all his."
"What's wrong with that? It's for strengthening the body."
Xu Qing settled the tortoise down and held the broken sword. Zhou Yiqing's eyes widened.
"Do you also have a unique skill?" He remembered that Xu Jin seemed to have practiced martial arts before.
"She uprooted a weeping willow," Xu Shi 'an said softly.
Xu Jin clenched his fist and made a cracking sound. Xu Shi 'an immediately turned around.
Not long after, Xiaoxiao came to find Zhou Shi 'an. She was stunned when she saw Zhou Yiqing. She exchanged glances with Xu Shi' an mysteriously.
"That … I have something to do. Goodbye, Uncle." Zhou Yiqing took this opportunity to bid farewell. He looked at Xu Qing with respect, mainly because Xu Qing was still holding a shining sword in his hand.
"Hmm, come again when you have time," Xu Qing said. This young man seemed to be very respectful to him.
Xu Jin walked him out. When they returned, Xu Qing, Xu Shi 'an, and Xiaoxiao went about their own business. The tortoise was still in the sand, as if nothing had happened.
"Shi 'an?" Xu Jin said.
"Xiaoxiao, what did you say?" Xu Shi 'an raised his voice. "Come, take me there!"
The two of them went downstairs.
"Don't come back if you can." Xu Jin did not stop him.
Xu Qing held the sword and swung it a few times. It was comfortable again. He put the scabbard back in place and put it in a corner of the living room. He then turned around to clean up the cups on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Just a normal friend?"
"What do you think?" Xu Jin said.
"He likes you," Xu Qing said.
"Dad, I don't date in university."
"How do you feel about him?" Xu Qing asked.
"…"
Xu Jin was silent for a while and said, "I don't hate him."
"You like him just because you don't hate him?"
"I don't like him either." Xu Jin shook his head and then nodded. "I might like him a little, but it's not enough."
"You want to give him a chance?"
"He knows what he's doing." Xu Jin closed his eyes and sighed. "It's good to be friends now."
"What kind of friend do you want?" Xu Qing poured her a glass of water.
"Not at the moment, Dad. I don't want to be friends now, not in the next few years. I have to wait until I start working before I can decide if someone is suitable or not."
"After the postgraduate entrance examination?" Xu Qing asked.
Xu Jin shook his head and thought for a while before continuing. "I don't want anything now. I don't need companionship, affection, or material things. I don't have time or energy now. When I'm stable, then … I want to find an ally on the battlefield. It doesn't have to be stronger than me, but it has to be reliable. "
"It's too early to say these things now. Not only am I still on the rise, but the circle around me hasn't stabilized and is still changing.
Dad, do you understand? " She said seriously. "I have a little affection for him, but it's not enough. The future is uncertain. I'm still young. Other than improving myself, everything else can be postponed."
Her voice was calm, but her eyes were firm. It was like Xu Qing who quarreled with Xu Wenbin when he was young.
"I understand." Xu Qing nodded and did not say much.
"It's good that you understand."
Xu Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
"No one can control me."
"No one can control you." Xu Qing smiled and patted her head. "I support any decision you make. After all, you're better than anyone in our family. I can't compare to you. If your mom isn't smart, I'll scold her too. "
"Thank you, Dad."
"You're my daughter." Xu Qing smiled and got up from the sofa. "Your mom is also quite amazing to have given birth to someone as amazing as you."
"My mom is a heroine."
"You believe me?"
"… If you say so."
Xu Jin picked up the cup and took a sip.
His father was delusional and always thought that his mom was from ancient times. What else could he do but let him be?
Mr. Xu, a warm-hearted citizen, was willing to be ordinary and loved life. He was also a good father. It was okay to believe in such a small matter.
Jiang He came home early. As soon as he came back, he saw Xu Shi 'an being chased around the house by Xu Jin.
"I heard Shi 'an say that Xiao Jin brought her boyfriend back? Where did he go? Where did he go? "
"Mom! Save me! "Xu Shi 'an hugged the sandbag and dodged left and right, as if he saw the light of hope.
Then, Jiang He was pulled away by Xu Qing. He said that he needed to study the pattern of the scabbard.
"Did Shi 'an get beaten up because he watched TV too late last night?" Jiang He suddenly frowned.
“？”
Xu Qing tilted his head and looked at her. "Can you wait for me to put on the armor?"
