Xiang Kun was handling the ingredients in the kitchen, but his attention was naturally on Xia Libing and his parents, and he was also curious about how Lao Xia would find out his information from his parents.

But at the beginning, Xia Libing didn't take the initiative to say too much, because Xiang Ma had too many words, one would let her drink tea, one would let her eat melons and fruits, one would ask her how her work and life were going, and one would ask her what her impression of Thorn Tong was.

Xia Libing basically answered all questions, and her answers were very honest and detailed, and it didn't take long for her to introduce her studies, work, and family situation very clearly.

Hearing that there were two master's titles, Xiang Dad and Mom subconsciously sat up a little straighter, feeling a little "awe-inspiring".

To be honest, judging from the appearance alone, they all felt that Xia Libing had just graduated from college at most, after all, Xiang Kun said that the "friend's sister" was several years younger than him, and she did look very young.

Xiang Kun, who was cooking in the kitchen, quickly guessed Lao Xia's strategy, which was "if you want to take it, you must first deal with it", Lao Xia did not ask any questions at first, but just answered and introduced himself, the purpose is to let her parents understand her first, establish a certain degree of trust, and then facilitate the next information acquisition.

Anyway, judging from the description, Lao Xia's resume is the same as what Yang Zhener said at the beginning, she is a good girl and a scholar who doesn't have to worry about her parents, and she is even much more beautiful and perfect than Xiang Kun's resume, and you can't see any problems.

Of course, in this process, it can also be convenient for her to understand some of the personalities and habits of her parents and find the best way to test them with words.

These are all judgments made by Xiang Kun based on Lao Xia's knowledge background and consistent way of acting, as well as the cognitive model he has established.

Sure enough, when Xiang Ma asked how Lao Xia and Xiang Kun met, Lao Xia began to control the rhythm of the chat and the direction of the conversation.

"My cousin often asks Xiang Kun to play cards, and I follow him, so I know him. If there is no gambling money, it is pure entertainment. Xiang Kun is very smart and very good at poker, we play with him, basically we lose, we can't play him. Auntie, was Xiang Kun so smart when he was a child? Did he get good grades when he was in school?"

Xiang Ma said with a smile: "Smart is not much smart, our family Xiang Kun has been thinking blindly since he was a child, and he can 'study' for a long time when he catches something." And more than the average child, you have to be patient and sit still. When he was in kindergarten, he played that kind of big puzzle, and other children were interested in it at the beginning, and he couldn't play it after a while, so he could sit there for several days and put it together for hours until he put the puzzle together. I thought he liked to play puzzles, and he bought one for him on his birthday, but he didn't touch it at all, saying that he didn't like to play. It's the same with reading, even if he is not interested in the things in the textbook, he knows that the exam has to be taken, and he can patiently take the time to understand it. ”

Xia Libing said: "Patience is the rarest, no wonder Xiang Kun can program, do wood carving, and write calligraphy, these are all things that take a lot of thought and can sit still." ”

"Writing calligraphy is indeed a good learning, when we followed Xiang Kun's father to Tongshi Town, he had no playmates in the summer vacation, so he learned calligraphy with the old man next door, and the old man also praised him for his determination. He asked his dad to buy him a computer, saying that he would never install games, that he would learn programming, that he would do programming, and that he would become the richest man in the world by typing code, and that he and his dad were fooled into buying him a computer. Programming, he really learned, and won a prize in an amateur competition, and the prize won a lot of CDs, but most of the time he didn't use it to play games, so what kind of tank and villain were fighting around, what was it called, what was it called, what was it called?"

"Xiang Kun's wood carving is very good, Auntie, you see, this is a gift from him to a friend, and this, this is too. ”

Judging from the voice, Lao Xia should be using his mobile phone to show Xiang Kun's wood carvings to Tang Baona and Yang Zhener.

After chatting about wood carving for a while, Xia Libing said again: "Xiang Kun is very good at cooking, and he is very good at making rabbit meat, he cooks so deliciously, is it the true inheritance of his aunt?"

"Rabbit meat, I don't know how to make it...... The dishes he cooks are not the same style as the dishes I cook, and he makes all the recipes he finds on the Internet, with all the bells and whistles, but not to mention, it's quite delicious. ”

Xia Libing said: "Xiang Kun said that he suddenly started to learn to cook a few months ago, it seems that he really has the talent to cook, and he should have inherited you, Auntie." ”

Xiang's mother also sighed: "Alas, this kid, I don't know if he shaved his head, and suddenly he opened up, he didn't know how to cook before, if I didn't cook, he would be either instant noodles or bread." But if he had a choice, I'd rather he have his hair......"

"Xiang Kun's hair should still be able to grow, right?"

"Who knows, I 'ordered' him to stay, but the last time I came back, it's been almost three months, and I haven't seen any hair on his head, and I'm really a little worried about whether his head is used to being bald, so he forgot how to grow his hair......" Xiang's mother's tone was quite worried and worried, as well as helpless self-deprecation.

When Xiang Kun in the kitchen heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his head, but immediately noticed that his hands were stained with water and minced meat, and forcibly restrained him.

From the way Lao Xia guided the topic, Xiang Kun knew Lao Xia's strategy.

She is using the way of praising Xiang Kun to guide Xiang Ma to take the initiative to say the state of Xiang Kun in her impression. Even if you are modest and complain about Xiang Kun, when you are a parent, you must be happy when you hear others praise your child, and then whether you continue to "brag about yourself" or be modest, you will further open up the conversation, enhance the conversation, and mention relevant content on the topic.

In the living room, Xiang's mother, who talked about Xiang Kun's appearance, changed her mind again, went to the room and took the photo album from home, flipped it to Xia Libing, and "heartbrokenly" said how cute and handsome Xiang Kun was when she was a child.

Xia Libing listened carefully to Xiang Kun's "introduction", followed Ying He a few words from time to time, and asked for permission, and took a few photos of Xiang Kun when he was a child, elementary school and middle school.

Then Xia Libing once again pulled the topic to calligraphy and calligraphy, and Xiang's mother took the initiative to take her to Xiang Kun's room.

According to Xiang's mother, this room has not changed much since they finished renovating and moving into this house, this bed, table, and cabinet are all at the beginning, so now it is a little dilapidated, and the cabinet and drawer are also not easy to use. There are several posters on the wall, which can be seen to be cross-creased, and printed with the titles of certain magazines, all related to computer hardware or software, apparently the pages that came with these magazines.

Xia Libing saw Xiang Kun's previous calligraphy exercises shown to his mother, including the "Swordsman" by Jia Dao that Xiang Kun uploaded to the Internet when he was in junior high school, and many other characters from various periods that she had not read.

Xia Libing didn't take the initiative to reach out to move the things in Xiang Kun's room, and seemed to just "passively" follow Xiang Ma, listening to her introduction.

However, the books on Xiang Kun's bookshelf, the things on the table, and when Xiang Ma opened the table or cabinet, she showed the situation inside, and she also silently observed and recorded.

Because it was already time to eat, the time was relatively tight, so Xiang Kun did not cook a very hearty lunch, and the dishes were not much, but more fast.

Xia Libing, under the leadership of Xiang Ma, the "tour guide", only visited Xiang Kun's room for less than ten minutes, and then the voice of Xiang Kun shouting "open dinner" was heard.

There are six dishes and one soup on the table, two dishes are adjusted for Lao Xia's taste, and four dishes and one soup are the tastes of his parents.

Of course, the tastes of the three of them are not incompatible with each other, in fact, they are generally relatively similar, and their parents taste the two dishes made for Lao Xia, or Lao Xia tastes the dishes made for his parents, and they will also feel that they taste good and have a sense of freshness.

However, the "happy" atmosphere on the table, and the polite performance of his parents and Lao Xia made Xiang Kun want to laugh a little.

Xia Libing praised while eating: "Xiang Kun's fried chicken is really good." ”

Xiang's mother smiled and helped her son humbly: "Actually, it's still too old, and there is still room for improvement." ”

Xiang Dad pushed a dish of vegetables in the direction of Xia Libing: "Xiao Xia eats more of this nine-section shrimp, I read an article on the Internet that girls should eat more seafood, which is good for the body and beautifying." ”

Xiang's mother also agreed: "Yes, yes, eat more." Do you think this eggplant is also well done? Then during this time, I will come to the house more often, and my aunt will ask Xiang Kun to make it for you to eat, anyway, he is very idle. ”

After eating, Xia Libing wanted to go back to the rented house to prepare, and she was going to the hospital on duty in the afternoon, so Xiang Kun sent her out of the community to take the car.

At the gate of the community, Xiang Kun looked at Lao Xia, whose expression had returned to normal, and couldn't help but learn from Lao Xia's deliberately adjusted slightly higher tone before, pinched his throat and said: "Xiang Kun's fried chicken is really good!"

Xia Libing glanced at him, his expression did not change, he just shook his head: "Not skilled enough." ”

Xiang Kun naturally knew what she meant-she was saying that she was not skilled enough to imitate the character of the well-behaved and cute woman just now, and obviously didn't mind telling Xiang Kun that she was imitating, that is, "pretending". Of course, as long as anyone who has been in contact with Xia Libing in a normal state, they can see that she was completely different from usual just now.

"Just use your usual state with me, with Zhen'er and Nana. Although well-behaved and cute children will be liked by their elders, they will not only like well-behaved and cute children, so it is better to be natural. Xiang Kun said with a smile, he remembered that when he just went downstairs, he relied on his super hearing and heard his mother complaining about his father.

"Lao Xiang, don't be the boss, make a face! When Xiao Xia was in our house just now, he was always so nervous, it must be because of you!"

"How can I have it? I'm just a normal expression, I can't keep giggling, can I? Don't you always think that I don't look good when I laugh, it's a little silly?"

"I mean, you're a little silly when you're grinning! You smile, don't you smile? The corners of your mouth are upturned, right...... What the hell are you smiling, what are you glaring at? Have you ever seen someone smile with eyes like brass bells?"

"You give me a smile? Look, you look in the mirror yourself, is your smile fake? If Xiao Xia is really nervous, then he will be scared by your fake smile......

"Yo he? You think I'm smirking now? Who said I laughed like the moon in the sky and spring flowers? Now I'm old, you're fake?"

"Hey, stop, stop, it's crooked, I'm going to wash the dishes. ”

......

Of course, Xiang Kun knew that Lao Xia was nervous or anything, and naturally there was no such thing.

The reason why my mother felt that Lao Xia was nervous was because Lao Xia gave her an unnatural feeling and a bit "deliberate", so she misunderstood it as a nervous state.

But Xiang Kun knew that it was not nervousness, but a state between the awkward smile at the gate of the train station and her expression in her normal state, which should be a state that she deliberately imitated through observation, or a behavior pattern.

It is likely that Lao Xia lacks some basic mood swings, so she has the habit of imitating other personas and behavior patterns.

In her opinion, these patterns of behavior should be like tools, which can be applied to various scenes.

Before, at the entrance of the train station, when I was dealing with the pick-up, I used the smile that looked extremely weird, obviously very "bright", but I couldn't see a smile at all, to scare people away. She once made the same expression to Xiang Kun and asked him, "Aren't you afraid?", proving that she knows very well what kind of feeling this "smile" will give people.

And just now at Xiang Kun's house, Xia Libing wanted to find out some information about Xiang Kun from Xiang Dad and Xiang Mom, so she wanted to please the two elders, so she naturally chose to use this "well-behaved and cute" behavior model.

But unfortunately, she is still obviously not very good at this model.

From Xiang Kun's own point of view, he is also more accustomed to Lao Xia's usual state. Therefore, for other states and modes, whether Lao Xia imitates them or not, they will feel strange and awkward.

Regarding Xiang Kun's suggestion, Xia Libing still simply nodded and accepted: "Okay." ”

......

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, seeing Xiang Kun waving his hand, and turning around and walking back to the community, Xia Libing took out his mobile phone and flipped out a few photos from the Xiangjia family album he had taken before.

Looking at Xiao Xiangkun in the photo, thinking back to the various situations that Xiang Mom told her, Xia Libing became more and more sure:

Xiang Kun should have undergone extraordinary changes in the past year, which has created a variety of peculiarities for him now.

is also more and more certain, as well as Xiang Kun's attitude towards her:

Xiang Kun must have discovered her discovery, but he doesn't seem to mind her exploration and analysis, and even encourages and pushes her in a somewhat different direction.

Why is that?

Xia Libing reached into the pocket of his coat, grabbed the three one-yuan coins in his pocket, and put his fingers together, holding the three coins respectively.

In addition to the one she originally had, just before she got into the car, Xiang Kun took the initiative to give her the two coins she had promised before.

Last night, she and Xiang Kun played a coin game, betting on who loses and who will have dinner, and she knows that Xiang Kun doesn't care about this bet, and judging by his past behavior, he is not the kind of person who cares about simply winning or losing.

But last night guessed five coins, Xiang Kun guessed all of them, without hesitation, categorically, obviously not blind, but really very sure.

She knew there was something special about the coin, but she didn't know what it was.

Xiang Kun can guess which hand the coin is, relying on the peculiarity of the coin.

But since the third time, Xiang Kun still guessed three times in a row, what did he rely on?
