Chapter 48: There seems to be something wrong with this childhood sweetheart
"You should have seen...huh...before."
Xu Qing struggled to carry the rice, and he began to wheeze when going up the stairs, but this did not affect his beeping.
"Have you seen her before?" Cheng Yulan turned her head and glanced at Jiang He. She was quite handsome, but she didn't have much impression.
"Yes, just before... Huh, when I first went to college, maybe four or five years ago, she was not so tall at that time, and her face was a bit round, and you guys stood at my door and said a few words... Remember
Are you up yet?"
"Is there any?" Cheng Yulan was confused.
"Hey, I guess the change has been too big, you can't remember it, just the one with the round face... that's her."
Xu Qing said it as if it was true. He walked upstairs and put down his breath at the door.
"I, an old woman, don't have as good a memory as you young people. I have forgotten it a long time ago." Cheng Yulan thought for a long time without remembering it. She saw the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Old Wang, open the door!"
"Hey, just remember this time, my girlfriend is Jiang He." Xu Qing smiled: "Okay, I took her to dinner. She plays games at home every day and doesn't come out much."
"Come in and have a glass of water. I'll see how tired you are."
"No need, I'm strong."
Xu Zhuangshi waved his hand and turned around to go downstairs. Jiang He looked back at Aunt Cheng and saw that she was still looking at him. He hesitated for a moment and nodded with a smile before following downstairs.
"I...came here three or four years ago?"
After exiting the corridor, Jiang He followed and asked softly.
"What the hell, you were hiding in some ravine and freezing at that time."
Xu Qing raised his head and glanced upstairs, and said with a smile: "Just to put it this way, it's fine if you have an impression. It's okay if you don't. It's nothing anyway."
"..."
"If no one knows you except me, then you don't exist. Do you understand?"
"Doesn't exist?"
"Well, in a social sense, you don't exist at all. No one knows your past, and of course there is no future. The past is like roots. Your roots are in the Tang Dynasty. This won't work. You have to leave another root here.
, you can live well."
Xu Qing turned around with his pocket in hand and walked backwards facing Jiang He, "That Aunt Cheng just now was a loudspeaker. If anything happens, she and the old man and old lady will play mahjong together, drink tea and gossip, if eight comes to our side
, mentioning it casually can leave an impression on others, and at least they will know that such a person exists.
It would be better if you casually mention that you have seen them a long time ago. This is called group consciousness."
"I seem to understand what you mean." Jiang He frowned and thought for a while, and finally understood.
If no one knows her in the village, she will definitely be expelled.
"It doesn't matter if you understand or not, as long as you look familiar - Uncle Zhao, are you cold?"
Xu Qing turned around and shouted at the security guard from a distance.
"It's freezing to death today."
Uncle Zhao was holding a thermos cup, huddled in his military coat, leaning on the chair and slowly swaying.
"Why don't you go in?"
"It's stuffy inside if you stay there for a long time. Have a cigarette and sit for a while before going in."
"Then you are busy."
Xu Qing greeted, looked at Jiang He beside him, held her sleeve as if holding hands and walked out.
Hey... where are the hands? He pinched his sleeves, but he couldn't find his hands. What a loss.
"Ahem...this is called gaining a sense of presence."
After leaving a little further, Xu Qing let go confidently.
"Really?" Jiang He was confused.
"Yes." He was very serious, and it sounded like he meant it.
Jiang He thought for a while, believed him for the time being, raised his arm and handed over the sleeve. His hand was retracted to the elbow, and half of the sleeve was empty.
"Then let me hold it for you."
"...It's out, no need." Xu Qing took a look in his pocket but made no move.
If you don't have any hands, you can hold a ghost and hold a lonely person.
There is a long way to go.
…
There are many hot pot restaurants in Jiangcheng. As the weather gets colder, people also like to gather around the steaming pot to have a meal. In fact, it is best to come at night. After eating, you will be sweating and go back to lie down comfortably - but considering the crowds at night
It was a lot, and 80% of the time you had to queue up. It was too messy to take Jiang He to experience for the first time, so Xu Qing took her to have a meal at noon.
Dinner is still comfortable at home, with warm lights, fragrant food, and the cold wind outside...
There is also a cook in the kitchen, which is perfect.
Instead of having something to eat nearby, Xu Qing took Jiang He around and went to a shop that he used to frequent. There were many varieties there and they were not expensive. Eighty-eight people could eat all kinds of seafood and so on. The environment was not bad.
, just give Jiang He a taste to see what she likes.
When you are not familiar with the other person's taste, eating at the buffet is a simple and quick way to get to know each other - although Jiang He seems to like everything he eats, there is always a favorite taste.
No one is not picky about food, even if she is an ancient person, she just didn’t have the conditions before.
"Is it so far?" Jiang He followed him for a while, then turned around before the bus arrived. He was already a little hungry without breakfast.
"Come on, it's right over there."
Xu Qing pursed her lips, turned a corner but suddenly stopped, wondering what she was thinking.
Qin Hao was working on the street with his neck curled up like a fool because of the cold, looking around with his PDA.
Subconsciously, he wanted to turn around and leave with Jiang He, but their eyes had already met. Xu Qing paused for a moment, then continued forward with Jiang He as if nothing had happened, and went over to say hello.
They all bumped into each other, and when they turned around and left, this guy noticed something was wrong.
"Mouse, what are you busy with?"
"What nonsense are you doing?" Qin Hao sniffed, looked at Xu Qing, and then at Jiang He beside him.
There's something wrong with this kid...
"Eat hot pot together?"
"On duty... Come here, come here." He walked a few steps to the side, brought Xu Qing over, looked at Jiang He and said, "This is..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat and she asked calmly.
"When did you have a cousin?" Qin Hao looked at the two of them and suddenly said: "What is the theorem for vertical faces?"
"..."
"..."
Xu Qing was stunned, and Jiang He looked confused.
"High school student? Sister?" Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, "Then, let's talk about the cosine theorem."
"Okay, you can do it, this is my girlfriend." Xu Qing had a headache.
"girlfriend?"
Qin Hao was sure that something was wrong with this boy!
Last time, he was talking about sister, but Qin Maocai went over and asked that this guy didn't have a sister at all. He felt something was wrong, but he just had an intuition that Xu Qing was a little abnormal that day.
Fraudulent.
A girlfriend is just a girlfriend, it’s not a big deal originally, but I have to introduce her to my cousin from high school... This is very weird.
"I'll explain to you another day, I'm hungry." Xu Qing was helpless at this, "Fullmohao, that's it."
"What are you doing?"
"I'll tell you another time, why don't you take me away now, just like interrogating a prisoner." Xu Qing held out his hands to act rogue.
"...You go ahead. If you don't explain this matter to me clearly some other time, I will have to file a complaint with your father." Qin Hao said seriously.
Xu Qing has a criminal record. He used to snitch on fights, drinking, and clubbing, but he has calmed down in the past two years. Qin Hao is afraid that this guy will fall into his old habits again.
Ordinary friends are nothing, but if you hang out with those shady people again... He glanced at Jiang He, okay, he looked normal.
If she was wearing colorful hair, nose rings, lip studs or anything like that, she would have to be carefully checked on the spot - judging from Xu Qing's performance that day, there was probably something wrong with this woman, and it was not impossible that she was a drug addict.
That would be a big deal...for the Xu family.
Xu Qing said nothing, gave him the middle finger, and led Jiang He into the hotpot restaurant.
Fortunately, Qin Hao is not a woman, otherwise he would have to know the consequences of snitching.
