Until the end of the movie, Xu Qing didn't get what he wanted.
Playing with his little hands in the dark cinema, such a simple wish failed.
The audience left the cinema, and the lights in the cinema were turned on again. The young couple in the corner also held hands naturally and went out together.
"Let's go."
Xu Qing stood up with the unfinished mineral water and half a bucket of popcorn. It was better to eat them at home when he was free.
He just didn't know what was going on in Jiang He's little head …
Could it be that the movie was too impactful for her?
It shouldn't be … Although he felt something when he watched it for the first time, it was hard for Jiang He to empathize with it.
"You … Do you like my hands?"
Jiang He, who had been silent, walked out of the cinema with him. When there was no one around, she whispered.
"Huh?"
Xu Qing, who was thinking about what she was thinking, was stunned for a moment. "I think … I guess."
He didn't have a hand fetish. He just wanted to hold her hand …
He was afraid of being beaten up if he did anything else.
"Then you can hold it." Jiang He squeezed the little teddy bear for a moment and plucked up the courage to reach out her hand.
Xu Qing continued to be confused, but he didn't stop moving. He tried to hold her hand.
What did this mean?
At first, he let her hold his hand, but when they reached the cinema, he didn't let her touch him. Now, he let her hold his hand …
What happened?
Seeing Jiang He pursing her lips and turning her head, Xu Qing felt that something was wrong with her. Maybe she had just experienced a complicated psychological struggle.
This girl's brain circuit was so strange that he couldn't guess what she was thinking about.
In the late winter afternoon, the two of them strolled on the street after watching the movie. They didn't have a target, so they just strolled on the street.
"Was the movie good just now?" Xu Qing thought for a long time and decided not to ask her what she was struggling about. Even if he asked, he wouldn't get the answer. Anyway, it was fine as long as she didn't beat the little teddy bear angrily.
"Ah?"
Jiang He, who was secretly watching him, made an absent-minded sound and paused before saying, "It was good."
"What was it about?"
"He treated the patient and saved the patient. In the end, he was arrested."
"…"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
Xu Qing organized his thoughts and explained, "They weren't arrested for saving people. They were arrested for selling fake medicine that could cure illnesses …"
"If it can cure diseases, why is it fake?"
"It's too complicated to explain. In short, you just need to know that it's fake. That's not the point. The point is that we have more than a billion people here … Do you know what a billion is? In the 16th year of the Kaiyuan Era, there were only about 40 to 50 million people. A billion is more than 30 times that number, which is the population of more than 30 Tang Dynasties. "
Xu Qing made her re-evaluate this era in a simple and crude manner. "So you can see large groups of people everywhere. There are also skyscrapers, which are built so high to save space … I digress again. Anyway, there are a lot of people."
"It's very prosperous." Jiang He nodded.
"There is a saying that the world is full of strange things. We only live in this small place. There are many things that we haven't heard of or seen. There are many people that we haven't heard of or seen. There are also countless groups that are different from us. Maybe we won't meet them in our lifetime and won't know of their existence. But they live in every corner and live in their own way. This is called life."
He slowed down and turned to look at Jiang He. "What do you think?"
"… I can't say it." Jiang He felt that something was moving in his heart, but he couldn't catch it or figure it out.
"Horizons determine the height of your thinking. The more you see, the more your thinking will change. Although you won't be able to learn anything from the movies, this is the logic. For the current you, this is the best way to improve."
Xu Qing said whatever was on his mind. He looked up at the clear and transparent sky. "There is a joke like this. Several farmers sat on the ridge of the field and guessed the life of the emperor. Some said that the emperor ate white bread every day and used a golden hoe to farm … This is the difference in thinking and cognition. It is also called looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. There are many things that you don't understand and don't know. You will see things in a one-sided way and be limited to your own cognition. You will be easily deceived."
"I feel like I'm being deceived by you." Jiang He said gloomily.
Didn't he say that he was innocent and that he had a clear conscience?
"Ahem … In the future, you will know whether I lied to you or not." Xu Qing looked at the way Jiang He lowered his head and smiled. He felt that it was inexplicably cute.
He picked up her hand and wanted to kiss it, but he realized halfway. He was afraid that his head would be smashed, so he put it down as if nothing had happened.
He really liked it.
"I have been thinking of ways to help you improve your cognition and build up the three views of the modern world, which is the world, values, and outlook on life.
Outlook on life is a person's view of life, which is also the value and meaning of living. For you in the past, it should be about having enough to eat and wearing warm clothes.
Values are about understanding various things, as well as the views and opinions about things. For example, not liking to waste, this is a very good thing.
The world view is even more complicated … Previously, I only instilled my own three views into you so that you would have a rough foundation. Then, you could explore and develop on this foundation. You can throw away the Kaiyuan set … Now it seems to be going quite smoothly. You have a strong ability to learn and accept. "
He said smoothly, but he let out a long sigh. "But to complete it, it should be a very long process. During this process, if I wanted to lie to you, it would be very easy."
"If you want to lie to me, then lie to me." Jiang He said with his head lowered.
At least until now, she had not been hurt. Instead, she was living a good life.
At least it was better than wandering on the streets alone without enough to eat and wear warm clothes. She did not even know how to go to the wild. That day, she was still in the city even after sitting in the car for a long time.
If she could continue to lie like this …
She suddenly froze and shook her head forcefully. How could she have such a thought?
If she found out that Xu Qing had any bad intentions, she must leave immediately. Now, she could trust him for the time being … Second Mother should understand.
Jiang He secretly made a decision when Xu Qing held her hand. She still needed to be vigilant.
Xu Qing was amused by her shaking her head. "What are you thinking about?"
"I am thinking about what you lied to me about." Jiang He thought for a while. "I am penniless, and you don't even accept those few pieces of silver …"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on her hand. She stopped talking and turned her head to hide her strange expression.
She was experiencing life, observing if he had any premeditated plans and looking for evidence of bad intentions. Second Mother would understand …
"Silver is worthless. Why don't you show me some gold and see if I want it?" Xu Qing said casually. "Let's go back to the matter just now … Where were we? Oh yes, it's easy for me to lie to you, but there is a variable. "
"What variable?"
"About me liking you." Xu Qing tightened his grip on her hand. "If I use my rich experience to make you think that you like me when you're ignorant, it's no different from lying. But I can't help but want to like you and get closer to you, like holding hands or something."
He looked at the side of Jiang He's face and slowly stopped walking. "So I want to help you get to know this world as soon as possible and mature quickly. Then you can distinguish between gratitude and feelings, and have the ability to choose freely. That way, there will be no problem."
"…"
Jiang He opened her mouth but did not know how to respond.
She was already a little immune to the fact that he talked about liking her so easily. But looking at Xu Qing's sincere eyes, her palms could not help sweating.
"But … it's still so long. It's too slow for you to learn to that extent."
Xu Qing squeezed her hand and asked, "I want to lie to you occasionally, but can you not hit me?"
"You … you …"
Jiang He held it in for a long time.
How could she answer him?
