He was too careless.
Xu Qing was very regretful now.
It wasn't a big deal, but to Jiang He, it was very sudden.
Why couldn't he control his claws?!
"Don't be nervous, I …"
He pondered for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Forget it, I'll be honest."
"What are you going to be honest about?" Jiang He stared at him and had a bad feeling.
"I …"
Xu Qing was speechless. He suddenly realized that confessing was the same as confessing.
This was not right …
Looking at Jiang He's eyes, he made up his mind. "I have a plan."
"Ah?"
"You see, we've known each other for so long. We've been living under the same roof for a few months. We usually talk and chat …" Xu Qing gestured with his hands, pondered for a moment, and explained in a way that she could understand, "Isn't there a saying that affection develops over time? It's affection. We've been together for a few months, so I naturally have affection for you … Do you know what affection is? "
"It's a better feeling?" The ominous feeling in Jiang He's heart was getting stronger.
"Something like that. Anyway, I don't hate you, and then it becomes a little bit of affection — it's normal to like someone, right?"
"… Right?" Jiang He was a little stunned. Was it abnormal to like someone?
Of course not.
"So, it's just like that. It's completely subconscious. There's no other thought." Xu Qing gestured with his hands to indicate his hair.
"…"
"…"
Jiang He looked at him with slightly widened eyes.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Xu Qing was puzzled. What kind of reaction was this?
It's good to blush a little.
Or he could clench his fist and say loudly: No! You're our benefactor, we can't! Still, it was better than remaining silent like this.
"…" Jiang He thought about it seriously. "You mean, you have affection for me."
"Yeah, I like you now." Xu Qing admitted straightforwardly.
Jiang He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then … can you not like me?"
？？
Xu Qing was stunned. "Why wouldn't I like it?"
"We are innocent and have a clear conscience. What you're doing, this … this is wrong!"
"No, I like you for a reason. Can't I like someone else? Don't tell me you're already married in your place? "
"No!" Jiang He shook his head subconsciously.
"I didn't either. We're both unmarried. It's not like I'm sneaking around. I'm openly liking someone. What's wrong with that?"
"…"
"You can reject me, but I will still help you. This is called a bootlicker." Xu Qing said very seriously, "Jiang He, I want to bootlick you."
Jiang He was stunned. He took a step back and looked at him warily. "No licking … If you dare to touch me, I'll hit you!"
After a pause, she suddenly stood up. "No, I want to leave."
"The debt between us has been settled."
Xu Qing didn't move. He looked at her back and said, "I've taught you to familiarize yourself with this place for the past six months. You've also taught me Kung Fu … and other things like cooking. We don't owe each other anything."
Jiang He paused and shook his head. "About the stance … it's not worth mentioning."
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not. You can't imagine how precious Kung Fu is here. You can leave if you want. How about this? You teach me another set of Kung Fu, and I'll help you rent another place to stay. This is called an equivalent exchange. We both get what we need. You don't have to worry about any favors."
"… Why?"
"Because I like you."
"If you didn't say those words just now, you could have lied to me to be your girlfriend." Jiang He turned back and looked at him.
"Can you lie to me about liking someone?"
Xu Qing shook his head and smiled. "Even if I don't say it, you'll feel it sooner or later … What will you do then? Repay his kindness with her body? Or sneak away? "
"…"
"We've always been unequal. You're grateful to me, and that's nothing. You just have to repay me. But from the moment I fell in love with you, everything that happened after was unfair to you, and it's unfair to me.
Feelings are not something that can be controlled. I like you because I like you, and it has nothing to do with other favors. You're pretty, you're cute, and you're naive. That's what I like. If I like you, I have to find a way to pursue you … Pursuing means that I'm in love with you.
— But you're saying that I'm indebted to you, so I can't like you. Is that reasonable? "
Jiang He was stunned. She hadn't figured out the logic behind it.
"That's not reasonable." Xu Qing answered his own question. "Why can't I like you when I helped you? That's not reasonable at all, so I won't stop you if you want to leave. We're even now. You teach me another set of martial arts, and I'll help you find a new place to live. We're still even. Then, we can talk about whether we like each other or not. "
"Of course, you can dislike me. But this dislike should be because you don't like me because I'm handsome, or because I stay at home every day, or because I don't call you at all. That's fine, but you can't dislike me just because I helped you. That's not fair, to both of us."
He spread his hands. "We're both innocent and have a clear conscience … Even if I like you, I have a clear conscience. Is it illegal for me to like you? It's not. "
"I've never thought about that." Jiang He stood in the living room, not knowing what to do.
"It'll be too late when you think about it." Xu Qing said, "You've been resisting it now … You want to leave as soon as you notice signs of it. That's not right. Liking is liking. Whether it's love after a long time or love at first sight, liking is liking. There's no logic in this. People live to make themselves happy. If you like me, I'll be happy. If you don't like me, I'll be happy. Then, I'll leave. What does it have to do with gratitude?"
"But … but …"
"No buts. Second Mother said that I can't devote my life to someone else, but that's based on the premise that there's no love between us. In other words, as long as you don't spend the rest of your life alone here, you'll have to find someone to live with. Why should I be excluded just because I helped you?"
"I didn't exclude you!" Jiang He's face turned red.
"Then why are you leaving?"
"…"
Jiang He was confused. That's right, why should I leave?
"You want to lick me!"
"I …" Xu Qing opened his mouth. "I only said that I want to treat you well. I don't really want to lick you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"I don't believe it."
"You'll hit me."
"Because it's disgusting."
"I'm afraid of being hit by you, so I won't lick you. Naturally, I won't be disgusted."
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
"Sit here. I'll talk to you." Xu Qing patted the sofa. "About me liking you."
"No!"
Jiang He came back to her senses. Although what he said made sense, things shouldn't be like this.
She wanted to leave just now. This guy wanted to lie … No, he didn't lie.
Something must be wrong.
