"It's almost the end of the year. I will bring her here for the New Year."
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Xu Qing got up and went to the kitchen to check on the progress of the meal. At the same time, he told Zhou Suzhi in a low voice and gestured to Jiang He who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Together for the New Year?" Zhou Suzhi was surprised. "She is not going home?"
"Didn't I tell you last time? She is all alone. How can she have a home? "
"Huh?"
Zhou Suzhi paused for a while and frowned. "You were not joking last time?"
"Of course not."
"…"
"Isn't it good to bring my girlfriend over for the New Year? Otherwise, she will have to stay at my place to eat instant noodles. We are here eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala, and she has to boil water alone … Oh, poor girl. "
"Alright, alright. It's just the New Year. Go away." Zhou Suzhi was impatient. "Just bring her here."
She paused for a while and called out to Xu Qing who was about to go out. "What's going on with the two of you?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend. I brought her here for you to see. What else could be going on?"
"Are you eating and living together every day?"
"Something like that."
Zhou Suzhi was silent for a while. She wanted to say something but did not know what to say. "Do you have enough money for a girlfriend?"
"Yes. I will find a way to earn more money after I have a girlfriend. Don't worry about it."
Xu Qing had bought an extra computer for this purpose. If Jiang He were to play games, one computer would not be enough for both of them, unless one of them used it for the day and the other for the night.
"You two just have to live your own lives. When I really can't eat, I'll ask my dad to arrange a job for me. I'm still young, so I should try to do something I like. You really don't have to worry so much," Xu Qing said. "Help me persuade my dad when you're free."
"You also know how to ask him to arrange a job for you?" Zhou Suzhi gave him a sideways glance.
"We're a family, so there's no need to be so polite. It's just that … he can't understand." Xu Qing shook his head. "It's a good arrangement, but I'm still young. I should try more of what I like. It doesn't matter if I don't succeed.
Even if he's right and I can't do anything, he can make me give up and let him arrange things for me. Otherwise, look at me now, how can I be willing? In a few years, when I'm old enough, I won't have the freedom to do what I like anymore. By then, it'll be too late for regrets. "
"It's good that you have an idea." Zhou Suzhi looked at Jiang He who was sitting obediently on the sofa outside and felt relieved.
"Don't mess around. Do whatever you want to do. Your dad is just afraid that you will learn to be like your aunt's Xiao Wen … Pass me the plate. Anyway, you have a girlfriend to control you. She can control you, right?"
"Sure, sure."
"That's good. Take it out."
The fragrant stir-fried pork with garlic was served to the table by Xu Qing. In the kitchen, Zhou Suzhi continued to busy herself. He didn't go and disturb her. He sat back on the sofa and watched TV with Jiang He.
"What's this?" It was unknown when Jiang He had changed the channel on the TV.
"This is an LCD TV." Jiang He said.
"… Yes, it is indeed an LCD TV."
Xu Qing complained. He didn't ask anymore. He leaned back on the sofa and played with her little hand.
The back of her hand was smooth. There was nothing special about it. He didn't know how she could have such great strength.
Could it be her inner force?
Jiang He's eyelids twitched, but he didn't move. He continued to watch TV as if nothing had happened. He peeked at Xu Qing from the corner of his eyes.
This guy really liked to play with her hand.
Was this love?
If it was the Second Mother playing with her hand … Bah, the Second Mother wouldn't have such a weird hobby.
She was thinking about something. She listened to the sound of the kitchen spatula colliding. Suddenly, she turned her hand and pulled Xu Qing's arm in front of her.
"Hmm?" Xu Qing tilted his head. "What are you doing?"
"Let me see."
Jiang He looked down at Xu Qing's hand with a straight face. He was thinking about what he liked about him.
His hands were a little big, and his nails were clean and short. His palms were very thick …
It didn't seem fun?
"You like to touch my hand too?" Xu Qing was puzzled. Was this girl reading his palm?
"I don't like it." Jiang He let go of his hand and threw it to the side.
"Then what are you doing?"
Xu Qing opened his hand and looked at his palm. Those lines looked ordinary. There was nothing special about them. "Do you know how to read people's faces?"
"No."
"Alright, I thought you guys would know a thing or two when you're in Jianghu."
Outside, night fell slowly. The living room was filled with the aroma of food. Two social losers sat on the sofa waiting for the food to be ready. They watched people flying around and fighting on the TV.
Xu Qing asked her if this scene was similar to what she used to be. In the end, it didn't look like it at all. People raised their swords to kill their enemies. They wouldn't hold a sword and fight for so long before flying away …
Even the blade would curl. No one could afford to waste their weapon like that.
Moreover, they had to wash the sword after killing people. It would stink and be disgusting if they put it back into the sheath.
Fortunately, those were all in the past.
His parents had another meal at home. They didn't say much during the meal. Xu Wenbin stayed in the study for a long time. He had already thought about how to persuade Xu Qing. However, when he saw him and Jiang He sitting at the dining table, he suppressed his thoughts.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this guy was no longer the child he used to be.
He knew more than him about some things.
"Dad, rest early. We're going back."
After the meal, they washed the dishes. Xu Qing didn't stay any longer. He picked up their coats and prepared to go home.
"Don't you want to sit for a while?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"No, it's quite late."
He helped Jiang He put on his coat, adjusted his scarf and hat, and put it on her. It was cold outside. They had to protect themselves well.
"What's this?" Zhou Suzhi saw a round thing that fell on the ground. It rolled a few times. She couldn't help but pick it up curiously. It turned out to be a potato.
A potato in his coat?
She almost suspected that this kid took it from the kitchen.
"She lacks earth in her five elements. Wearing this is like a protective talisman." Xu Qing took it and put it back into Jiang He's pocket.
"She lacks earth in her five elements?" Zhou Suzhi was confused by this operation.
How down-to-earth.
"Yes, it's quite useful. She's very lucky now."
Xu Qing spouted nonsense. He couldn't possibly say that it was to prevent her from suddenly returning to a thousand years ago one day.
Although the current history proved that Jiang He didn't go back, but … if she wanted to wear it, then so be it.
Zhou Suzhi shook her head. She couldn't understand the strange thinking of young people.
"I'll fry potatoes for you next time. It should be more useful in your stomach."
"Okay. She likes eating potatoes the most." Xu Qing smiled.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang He shrunk his sleeves and wanted to salute, but he didn't know how to do it. He didn't know how to do it here, so he just learned from the TV and bowed to her. The hat on his down jacket fell off and covered his head. Zhou Suzhi was surprised and amused.
This girl was quite nervous, just like when she saw Xu Qing's grandmother.
"Okay, okay. It's dark. Be careful on the road."
"Okay, then we'll go."
Xu Qing said and pulled Jiang He out.
Zhou Suzhi walked them to the door and stopped. Watching them go downstairs together, she suddenly sighed.
These two people were quite suitable. She hoped that they wouldn't have any conflicts in the future.
It was good to be like this.
