Chapter 111: A few words of good night
Never laughed?
Jiang He was silent for a while, trying hard to smile at him.
"Stop laughing, it makes me panic."
Xu Qing hugged her hard and said, "It's not that you don't know how to do it, you're just not used to it.
It will get better slowly."
"Will it be okay?" Jiang He asked him and realized what was different about him.
Their family is all happy, and I can only smile - just raise the corners of my mouth and agree with them.
Watching TV, she could understand where they were laughing and why they were laughing, but she still didn't want to laugh.
"Of course you will. Wouldn't you smile at Aunt Cheng when you go out for a walk? And Uncle Zhao... Although he becomes serious as soon as he opens his mouth, it's already much better than at the beginning."
Xu Qing comforted her: "I can feel your happiness, such as when you eat barbecue, hot pot, and cake... you are always in high spirits, and the corners of your mouth are raised.
It’s just that you forget to smile and only smile when you need to occasionally, I know.”
He put his head on Jiang He's face and whispered, "I know everything."
Just like what I said to her before, her spiritual world is very poor, only the most instinctive. Like a hungry person who sees a warehouse full of grain, like an uncle who has worked hard for a year and sees a bumper harvest, he will laugh unconsciously.
The rest of the time, I forget to laugh, or restrain myself.
"So that uncle didn't like to talk to me yesterday?" Jiang He thought.
"Yes, you are too serious. You are like this at a young age. This is not good." Xu Qing closed his eyes and felt the warm smell on her body. "Actually, there are many such people. They are serious and old-fashioned, or introverted.
Or being withdrawn, that's just your personality, it's not a big deal. It's your personality, but it's not.
You came here more than a thousand years ago, and there are some things you need to learn before you can master them."
"There are so many things to learn."
"You've learned a lot better, haven't you?
Just slowly feel it, what does it feel like to like it, and don’t force yourself to do anything because you want a stable life? I can wait for you.
Unless you want to leave here? Otherwise I won't drive you away."
This is also part of the plan, greedy is greedy? Like is like.
He likes this silly little weed seedling.
"I don't want to leave," Jiang He said, "I didn't force myself either."
"Then you can kiss me again." Xu Qing said.
Jiang He was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly got up from Xu Qing's arms and pecked him lightly.
"What does it feel like?" he asked.
"How does it feel to kiss..."
"dishonest."
Xu Qing finally let go of his hand, stood up and rubbed his wrist. He smiled and said, "Don't pinch me so hard in the future. You can tell me if you like me, and you won't resist if you kiss me... I even enjoy it."
Jiang He had already seen the bruises on his wrists, "I shouldn't have drank yesterday...yesterday, I'm sorry."
"Let's go? I'll take you to celebrate the New Year."
"Are we innocent now?" Jiang He asked this question again.
"You've kissed me? I've hugged you. What are you thinking? I've been ruined by you in vain?" Xu Qing was surprised, "If you feel it's not enough, you can come to my room at night and do something excessive to me. Don't be too rough.
Enough."
"I can give you all the shoes." Jiang He regretted his impulse yesterday.
"...I don't like shoes? I like kisses."
Xu Qing touched her lips, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.
New Year's Day? It's a good start.
Jiang He will become a modern person and know how to take the initiative? How to hold him and chew him with a smile instead of holding him down and drooling all over his face.
Hmm... I don't know where you learned to hold him down and kiss him randomly? Is it an innate instinct?
…
It's sunny outside, and the snow is shining so brightly that it hurts the eyes.
The two of them went home to wish Xu Wenbin and his wife New Year greetings. Jiang He received two big red envelopes. He was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Xu Qing just helped her stuff them into her pocket and asked her to keep them.
Xu Qing also had a red envelope, two thin pieces, the thickness of which was almost indiscernible. It was probably either one hundred or two hundred.
Without staying for lunch, the old couple had to wait for relatives and neighbors to come over again. Xu Qing took Jiang He to Qin's house to continue paying New Year greetings, and received two more red envelopes.
"This is called a mandarin duck bun. Look, there is a bird on your red envelope, and there is one on hers too. Together, they are a pair of mandarin ducks."
Qin Maocai is quite good at making arrangements, and the red envelopes are all arranged differently.
"Prepared for mice?" Xu Qing looked at it and put the red envelopes of the two people together. It looked good.
"If that boy wants his girlfriend back, it's his. It's not disappointing."
"Thank you, uncle."
Jiang He held up the red envelope and thanked her. Although it was not as thick as Xu Wenbin and his wife, she was still a little scared.
If she continued at this pace, Xu Qing would take her for a walk, and the two of them would become rich.
After sitting at Qin's house for a while, Xu Qing didn't stay long and took Jiang He out with four red envelopes. He happened to meet Qin Hao who had returned at the gate of the community.
"Look, it's yours, doesn't it look good?" He took out the red envelope and flashed it to Qin Hao, which was childish.
"It's not like I don't have any!"
Qin Hao pushed the little electric donkey and said with disdain, "I'll go to your house to get it later."
"It's different. You only have a girlfriend."
"..."
"Go back quickly. Officer Qin has worked hard. Happy New Year!"
Xu Qing smiled and waved to him, and without wasting any more time, she pulled Jiang He away.
"Can he help me with my identity?"
Walking a little further, Jiang He asked Xu Qing in a low voice.
"He is just a small-time police officer. How can he have such great power? He can't do anything."
"oh."
"But there is always some help. Everything in this world does not exist alone and affects each other. Don't think like a fool...
For example, I asked you to soak the calluses on your hands as much as possible. It's not illegal to have calluses, and it's not illegal to practice swordsmanship. But if you are seen to be extremely powerful and know how to wield a sword when you have no identity, it will be troublesome, right?
"
"I know."
Jiang He’s Sherlock Holmes is not for nothing, “Details determine success or failure.”
No matter what Qin Hao's identity is, the more people know her, the more real she will be.
"That's great." She followed Xu Qing and took a deep breath.
"What's so good?"
"Everywhere is good, I feel very...fulfilled."
Jiang He couldn't describe the feeling. The two of them were planning for something together and had been taking action. They had done too much in the past six months.
"You hummed a song this morning. What was it?" Xu Qing suddenly remembered something.
"Did I hum?"
"Hmph."
"I forgot."
"Really?" Xu Qing was confused.
Jiang He said nothing and lowered his head to look at his shoes.
The two of them were standing on the roadside waiting for the bus. The warm sunshine was shining on them and the wind was not too noisy. It seemed a bit peaceful this winter.
"Let's talk freely for a few people and say good night~"
Xu Qing was slightly startled and looked at Jiang He who was humming quietly next to him.
The clear and moist voice suddenly stopped.
"I only know this."
"That's pretty good." Xu Qing grinned, looked around, and suddenly kissed her on the cheek.
"You're a disciple!" Jiang He subconsciously covered his face.
