It was a long time.
It would take a long time to teach Jiang He the ways of the world and how to survive independently. During this process, it was impossible for him not to affect Jiang He.
Even without doing anything deliberately, she would naturally have a good impression of him.
Whether it was feelings or family, it was a kind of restraint. From the moment she came here from thousands of years ago, the two of them met. This was an unbreakable fate.
In Joker's words, it was fate arranged by God.
"If you change your mind in the future and don't like me anymore, I will seriously consider your feelings and let you go."
Xu Qing made a promise. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Anyway, let's talk about the future in the future. I think we are very fated."
"I don't like you now either!" Jiang He would not fall into his trap.
"Do you remember what you looked like when you first came here?" Xu Qing asked. The figure of Jiang He in the corridor half a year ago appeared in his mind, covered in rain and holding a sword.
She was embarrassed and pitiful.
"When you first came here?"
"You were thin and small, and your hair was stuck to your forehead by the water. You pointed a sword at me and suspected that I poisoned you."
As Xu Qing said this, he looked around to find the direction of the bus station. He led her there slowly. "In the first half a month, you were smart and vigilant. You even secretly kept some food for yourself. After a few days, you found that you had food every day, so you stuffed those hardened buns into your mouth with water …"
"How did you know?!" Jiang He was shocked. She had secretly eaten them at that time.
"Are you going to tell me that you took a glass of water to the bathroom to drink from the toilet bowl?" Xu Qing glanced at her.
Her pocket was still bulging, and after a while, she came out with a satisfied face.
Even a ghost could guess what she was doing.
"I … I …"
"You would sneak out in the middle of the night to investigate the situation. You would secretly browse on Baidu that you didn't understand. Oh yes, at first, you pretended to be illiterate. You would pick up the proposal that I threw into the bin and secretly read it in my room …"
Speaking of this, Xu Qing shook his head and laughed. "If I hadn't looked up the ancient tablets from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, I would have thought that it was difficult for you to recognize words and that you could only understand them if you looked at the simplified and traditional dictionaries."
"Didn't I learn to read after a few days?" Jiang He was a little ashamed.
"Later on, you realized that I seemed to be plotting something against you. I wanted to trick you into becoming my girlfriend, but you still looked at me without batting an eyelid, didn't you? Later, when I said that I would help you with the information gap, you dispelled your doubts and believed me again, right? "Xu Qing asked.
Jiang He lowered his head and said nothing.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You did the right thing. Although it's useless to be vigilant because of your cognitive problems, you still need to be vigilant."
Xu Qing waved his hand and skipped over her matters. He changed the topic and said, "But have you noticed that you have become stupid recently?"
"Become stupid?" Jiang He repeated subconsciously.
"Yes, when you first came, you were like a little hedgehog. Your hair stood on end and you would draw your sword at any time. At that time, your vigilance was raised to the maximum. In the next few months, you slowly restrained yourself and hid your vigilance in your heart. You looked like nothing happened on the surface, but you would still suspect and investigate inside. Only recently … it seems that after I said that I liked you that day, you became stupid and believed everything I said."
Xu Qing squeezed her hand again and said thoughtfully, "I think it shouldn't be difficult for me to trick you into kissing me now."
Jiang He did not say anything. After hearing what Xu Qing said, she also realized this.
This made her nervous. What was the problem?
Noticing that Jiang He's hand tightened, Xu Qing's hand was a little painful, but he did not shake her off. He comforted her, "In fact, this is normal. Women in love are brainless, especially those who are in love for the first time …"
"I didn't!"
Jiang He was anxious, "It's you who said to experience the beauty … I don't want to experience it anymore!"
"Okay, then you can admit it when you want to."
Xu Qing stood in front of the bus stop and shook his hand, "Be gentle, it hurts."
Jiang He quickly let go of his hand.
"Maybe it's not because I like you. There's another possibility." He said.
"What?"
"Dependence." Xu Qing smiled and rubbed her right hand twice to relieve the pain caused by her pinching. "It's because you haven't felt safe since you came here, and I'm the only one who helped you. We've been living and eating together for half a year. It's enough for you to let down your guard and become dependent on me, just like how you treat Second Mother."
"Maybe …" Jiang He was conflicted.
It was indeed different when she first came. Although she didn't know anything at that time, she still retained the calmness and judgment of a swordsman. For some things that she couldn't figure out, even if she didn't ask, she would find a way to find out.
Now her heart was in a mess.
But it was different from what Xu Qing said. It didn't start from the day she confessed. When she realized that she seemed to have a guilty conscience, there were already signs of it.
From the salt gang Jiang He to the girl Jiang He.
Even the iron darts were put away. There were no messy weapons on her, only the scarf, hat, earmuffs and gloves that Xu Qing bought. Every day, she hugged the heat pack and studied how to play the game.
"Habits are terrible, but it's not a bad thing. Now when we have nothing to do, we can go shopping, eat barbecue, watch a movie. Life is pretty good. It's better than fighting people with a sword for a few mouthfuls of food, isn't it?"
"That's right."
Jiang He nodded and looked into the distance in silence. The cars on the road drove steadily, and the pedestrians on the street looked so casual and leisurely.
"You usually play games in the heat room at home, cook, and occasionally come out to have a good meal or watch a movie. This kind of life, if it corrupts people, it's not a big deal. Didn't you guys work hard for your whole life for this?"
"Yeah …" Jiang He sighed softly. Even if it was ten times worse than this, it would still be unattainable.
"So it doesn't matter whether you like me or rely on me. The key is that you have to be clear and think about it carefully when you go back. Otherwise, if you're so silly like that, I'm afraid I can't help but trick you into bed."
"Trick me into bed?" Jiang He's heart tightened when he heard that.
"Yes." Xu Qing looked at the bus in the distance with a smile and then turned to her. "I find that I like you more and more. I don't have that kind of thought now, but maybe one day I won't be able to help myself from lying to you when you're so sweet and lovable."
"Why, why did you tell me?"
Jiang He couldn't understand. Was there a need to inform him in advance when it came to lying?
"Because I like you."
Xu Qing shrugged. Seeing that the bus had stopped in front of them, he naturally pulled her. "Let's get on."
He was really a little worried that one day he would see Jiang He become silly and impulsively be tricked by her.
It wasn't good to lie to an old comrade from more than a thousand years ago. He couldn't bear to do it.
When she admitted that she liked him, it would be peaceful and beautiful.
They sat in the back together. There were some people scattered on the bus, and the two of them didn't talk anymore. Jiang He looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought. Xu Qing was bored to death and leaned against the back of the seat, thinking about things.
"Does your hand still hurt?" She suddenly asked.
"Uh …"
Xu Qing looked down at his right hand. "Be gentler next time."
