Of course, a girl's hands should be soft and tender.
There was a word called "soft", which referred to the tender shoots of plants. Later, it was often used to describe a girl's hands, soft and fair, with a pair of slender hands.
Compared to a man's hands, a girl's hands were naturally smaller. Even though Jiang He was a martial arts practitioner, his hands were not as strong as a man's. When relaxed, his hands were not much different from an ordinary girl's, except that his palms were slightly rough, and there was a special touch when he held them.
Xu Qing could not touch them, so he could only hold them in his pocket and reminisce. When he saw the person in front of him turn to look at him, he looked back at him expressionlessly.
"Hmm … where were we?"
After walking out of the electronic shopping mall in silence, he spoke again as if nothing had happened. "Oh yes, that hand …"
"Don't talk about my hand!" Jiang He was angry.
"… Art."
"…"
"…"
"Speaking of the craft just now." Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders. "If you can do some craftsmanship or handicrafts, you can also make a living by doing something unique. Since ancient times, the rarer something is, the greater its value. For example, there is a person called Handmade Geng, who relied on unique inventions …"
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, tapped twice, and felt his hands were cold, so he put it back. "Wait a minute, let's go eat. It's warmer there, then we can look at this."
After that, Xu Qing reached out his hand to Jiang He, but did not move.
"What are you doing?" Jiang He asked, wrapped in his small cotton jacket.
"Give me your hand."
"No."
"I won't pinch it anymore." Xu Qing promised.
"…"
Jiang He hesitated and reached out his hand again, half-holding it in his sleeve. Xu Qing searched for a long time before he found his warm little hand again.
"Did you experience the feeling I mentioned?"
"No."
"Then why did you withdraw your hand just now?"
"… I don't like being pinched."
"Then why did you pinch me?"
Xu Qing asked, and then felt his hand being clamped by a pair of pliers, which almost made him jump on the road. "Stop! Let go! I didn't pinch you so hard. "
Jiang He loosened his grip and looked elsewhere without saying a word. However, he was in a much better mood.
This person was asking for a beating. Finally, he could vent his anger.
"Is it very painful?"
"What else could I do?" Xu Qing gasped. This girl's strength was too great.
"Then why don't you let go?" Jiang He's hand moved uneasily. Because she had squeezed Xu Qing's hand earlier, she had held his hand instead. Now that she wasn't squeezing it, it was still being held by Xu Qing.
"Why should I let go?"
"…"
She did not continue to speak. Her intuition told her that if she continued to ask, Xu Qing would definitely give some inexplicable reason.
For example, "Although it hurts, I like it …" and so on.
"Although it hurts, but …"
Here it comes!
Jiang He suddenly lowered his head, not wanting to listen to his nonsense. "Shut up!"
This guy was too annoying.
"Alright."
Xu Qing did not continue speaking. He held her hand and stood in the middle of the square, hesitating for a moment, thinking about what to do now.
He had to help settle the things that Wang Zijun had asked him to do. Later, he had to go to the outer circle of the square and bring her to the address that Wang Zijun had sent over. He wanted to introduce her to the place where she used to work.
After that, they would go shopping, eat, watch a movie … The day was packed to the brim.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Just a little."
"Then let's go down to eat later. Let's do what we need to do first." Xu Qing decided to complete the goal of this trip before thinking about their matters.
"What we need to do? Go to the pier? "
"What pier?" He was a little puzzled.
"Didn't you say we're going to the pier to get french fries?" Jiang He was also a little puzzled.
"… We'll talk about that later." Xu Qing was just joking. He did not expect her to remember it. "Use your brain to remember where we are now. This is called Jiangcheng Square. Do you see that big statue?"
He raised his finger and pointed to the huge bronze statue not far away. It was a strong man wearing a sheepskin coat. He seemed to be a famous person, but Xu Qing could not remember its name. "Remember the path we're going to take later. Walk towards the statue and turn left at the traffic light."
As he spoke, the two of them walked in that direction. They walked all the way, passed two traffic lights, and finally stopped in front of a slightly deserted nightclub.
It was almost noon, and there were not many people in the nightclub. The two of them did not go in, but just stood at the door. Jiang He followed Xu Qing and looked around. Before she could ask, he spoke.
"This is where you used to work. About two years ago, you sold alcohol here."
"Ah? … Oh. "
Jiang He recalled the identity he had made up and understood. He remembered the address even more carefully.
"What is this place?"
"This is called a nightclub. It's not a good place, and the work is not a good job either … A good job is not for someone with your background. This is just right." Xu Qing pondered for a moment. "There are people singing and dancing, and the customers go in to drink and have fun. Are the brothels in your country like this?"
"Should be … I've never been there before."
"It should be about the same. You can think of this as a brothel, but there are no brazen sexual transactions. You can only sing, dance, and drink."
"I … sold alcohol in a brothel?" Jiang He was a little stunned.
"No, if there is a need, you used to sell alcohol here. If no one checks, everything will be fine." Xu Qing shook his head. "It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, there is always a backup plan. Don't panic when the time comes."
"Will that dog investigate?"
"He won't. He was the one who arranged this. Don't worry, he's absolutely trustworthy … Even if you're a spy, that guy will find a way to cover up this matter for me and then get someone else to beat me up."
"He can't beat you."
Jiang He had already noticed that the dog was much weaker than Xu Qing. His steps were weak, his body was erratic, and his face was thin. His body had been hollowed out by alcohol and women.
"That's why he has to get someone else to come with him." Xu Qing smiled. "That stance … Will it be useful for him to practice?"
"His foundation is too poor. It will be bad if he practices." Jiang He shook his head.
"Then it seems that I'm good? … Yes, I'm definitely better than him. "
Xu Qing didn't dwell on this topic. He pointed around and said, "Remember? Can you find this place by yourself? "
"You can come from there." Jiang He pointed to the direction of the Jiangcheng Square.
After a pause, she looked at the nightclub in front of her and asked hesitantly, "Can I … go in and have a look?"
"Hmm? There is no one inside now. It will be lively at night. "
Jiang He didn't give up and looked at the big sign on the door. After a moment of silence, she still couldn't suppress her curiosity. She plucked up her courage and said, "I just want to see … see what a brothel looks like."
In the past, this was a place that only high officials, nobles, and dissolute scholars could go to. Now that she was at the door, it would be a pity not to see it.
"Don't look."
Xu Qing pulled her away. "Girls can't look at this. It will lead children astray."
Although it was good to be curious, it was better not to be curious about this kind of place.
Taking the initiative to ask for something was also a kind of improvement … Xu Qing thought for a moment. He looked at her looking back and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Shredded potatoes."
"No, I want to eat something good today. I can eat the potatoes tomorrow."
"Then let's eat whatever we want." Jiang He finally shifted her attention. She put aside her curiosity about the nightclub and focused on food.
"Okay, let's have a buffet."
On the street in the cold winter, the two of them wore hats and held hands. They walked side by side. The cold mist came out with their words and dissipated quickly.
A thousand years ago, a thousand years later.
Countless people passed by this place. Now that they met each other, they felt the happiness of ordinary people.
It was plain and ordinary, but it was enough to be happy.
