Chapter 20: The Elegant Maniac

Qingruo was going to choose liberal arts and sciences in high school, and she chose liberal arts.

Her science grades are actually relatively good, because she doesn't like to endorse, so many knowledge points in liberal arts are vague.

Xu Nianyang came to K City on the weekend and analyzed her results. Qingruo still insists on choosing liberal arts.

Xu Nianyang asked her why, and Qingruo said that she wanted to study social development and balance in college in the future.

Balance of Social Development.

There seems to be a common denominator in college majors, that is, the name sounds very lofty, at least for children in middle and high school.

However, in fact, the specific work and professional name of each major will be several grades different.

Xu Nianyang did a very detailed understanding of social development balance, including the professional courses he studied, the internship in the later stage, and the employment status, and he even made a report to Qingruo.

In the early stage of graduation from this major, more of a person is actually doing statistics, and it is necessary to go to the grassroots level to do a lot of statistical statistics, and finally to sort out the numbers.

It's a very hard industry.

Xu Nianyang contacted some people and took her to experience a weekend.

Qingruo has been pampered since she was a child, and rarely does housework at home, but she didn't expect to complain when facing the miserable dilapidated residential buildings.

Xu Nianyang was not surprised, after all, he was in a worse condition than those dirty children.

Later, Qingruo would start talking to him. Disease, poverty, and environmental pollution.

She has always had a gentle and kind heart, and when they walk on the road, they see begging, obviously out of deception, and she will still show kindness and blessings in her eyes.

The school organizes love activities, orphanage trips or nursing home activities, Qingruo always responds positively, much more serious than her class.

After I went there, I would call him and start to happily say who I had met this time, what help I had given them, and what activities they had organized to perform. After that, she would start to feel depressed, because she felt pitiful for those people, and she would feel distressed for inconsequential strangers.

I always hope that everyone can live happily, even if they are poor, but their families are healthy and free from diseases.

Every time, Xu Nianyang always has to be the first to sue her when he develops a new medicine to resist the virus, because Qingruo will be very happy, and her good mood will make her eyes bright like the sun, and she will hum a small tune and jump twice when she walks.

If you are a human being, you will have what you want.

Xu Nianyang used to always feel that this desire was so disgusting that it was beyond measure, including himself. * Always makes people feel less human. So he chose to destroy Miรจ.

The zombie virus has completely turned people into beasts that only eat*, and he has never thought of leaving a way out for himself.

Qingruo's desire has become his exception.

She wants world peace, no disease, no difficulties, and happiness and health for all.

How ridiculous and ironic.

Knowing that it is impossible, Xu Nianyang still wants to work hard, every time a new drug is developed, every time a new extraction is made, she can be a little closer to her want.

What is it like to be alive? Xu Nianyang has asked himself many times.

In the end, there was no answer, a blank slate.

And at the age of thirteen, the little girl stuffed the umbrella into his hand, and the warm touch of her palm came.

Xu Nianyang began to understand what it should be like to be alive?

Live, have a purpose, and strive for it all your life.

Until death, no regrets or complaints.

The real yร n room has just been established for less than a year, and the purchase of rent and equipment in the early stage has spent all of Xu Nianyang's savings, and the salaries and benefits of the later personnel are also not small expenses.

They actually have new results every month, and the income is very considerable, but the expenses are also very large.

There is no longer the Zhang family behind Xu Nianyang, and many things need to be done by him himself.

Qingruo studied in K University, lived on campus from Monday to Friday, and either went home on weekends or went back to her and Xu Nianyang's home.

Xu Nianyang has been moving in for a long time, and the two bedrooms connected are now one Xu Nianyang is living in, and the other is for Qingruo. Overwhelmingly pink, the walls are painted with strawberries of various sizes.

The moment Qingruo opened the door, he was directly circled, and secretly scolded himself for having nothing to do at the beginning.

There was no aunt at home, Xu Nianyang's sense of territory was too strong, but fortunately, he was diligent, and the house was not big, so he was cleaning it himself.

The two of them went to the supermarket after dinner, Xu Nianyang went to pick out the vegetables to be eaten tomorrow and came over to find the little girl standing in front of the freezer frowning, holding her mouth and looking pitiful.

stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, and smiled softly with his head sideways, "What's wrong with Ruoruo?" โ€

Qingruo reached out and took out two servings of ice cream from the freezer, strawberry flavored on the left and chocolate flavored on the right, "Brother." Which to buy? โ€

Xu Nianyang laughed and kissed her, "Buy both." โ€

Qingruo pursed her mouth, snorted softly and ignored him, and put the strawberry flavor back after a long time, only taking the chocolate flavor.

Ice cream is not a good thing, Xu Nianyang didn't want her to eat more, but seeing that she was really entangled, and she had always liked strawberry flavor, she reached out to get the box she put back, "Why don't you want strawberry flavor?" โ€

Qingruo amputated his hand halfway, put the ice cream back and pulled him out, "I often eat strawberry-flavored, if you want to eat chocolate today, I will buy strawberry-flavored next time." โ€

Xu Nianyang looked at her with a basket in one hand, held his hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and obediently followed out.

There weren't many things to buy, so Xu Nianyang led her home with a plastic bag in one hand.

The supermarket is not far away, just after eating just for a walk, two people are walking over.

Qingruo was worried about her ice cream and pulled Xu Nianyang to walk quickly.

When I got home, I turned the ice cream and went to the kitchen to get a spoon.

Xu Nianyang changed his slippers and came over and threw the wrapping paper she threw on the table into the trash, Qingruo had already dug a spoon while walking, and fed it when he got closer, "Brother." โ€

"Hmm." Xu Nianyang opened his mouth to eat it, took a sip and told her that she was delicious, and Qingruo sat back on the sofa with crooked eyebrows and began to eat ice cream.

After all, she was young, and she was lazy to eat ice cream and leaned on the game console on his stomach, so she still couldn't help but start chattering, "Brother, my mother said that it is not easy for you to make money now, and this house has to pay off the mortgage every month, and my mother said that the mortgage is quite high, let me know how to save." โ€

"Hmm." Xu Nianyang held the remote control in one hand, and gently flicked it between her hair with one hand, and adjusted a TV station in a casual tone, "All the money for the house was deposited in the bank a long time ago, and it can be deducted directly from the bank every month." โ€

Qingruo pouted his face and patted his hand in his hair and turned over and sat up, "Then how much do you earn a month?" How much can I save? โ€

Xu Nianyang glanced at her sideways, his eyes were full of smiles, and he raised his hand to slap and signaled, "Add five zeros to the back." โ€

Qingruo twitched the corners of her mouth, and suddenly fell on his belly, exclaiming unwillingly, "I'm going back to buy that box of strawberry-flavored ice cream!" โ€

Xu Nianyang lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Well, get up and go now?" โ€

"Forget it." Qingruo turned over, "I'm too lazy to move, I'll talk about it tomorrow." โ€

"Okay." He is all dependent on her, tolerant and gentle.

The next day, the two of them went home, before the meal, Xu Nianyang and Qingruo's father went to the balcony to play chess, Qingruo was lazy in the living room leaning on Ms. Fang to watch TV, the TV danced an ice cream advertisement, Qingruo opened her mouth and complained to Ms. Fang, "Mom, you lied to me, my brother said that all the money for the house was deposited in the bank before, and he earns so much every month." โ€

raised his hand and compared, his little face was full of unhappy grievances that were deceived by Ms. Fang.

Ms. Fang let out a long sigh, glanced sideways at the two men playing chess over there, and looked back a little bowed and softened, "Mom, doesn't you want you to learn to live a little bit in the future, you can't live a big life." โ€

Qingruo didn't talk about this topic, and talked to Ms. Fang about interesting things in school.

At night, Ms. Fang sat on the bed reading a book, and Qingruo's father came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, still wiping his hair with a towel.

Ms. Fang closed the book, called Qingruo's father, sat up straighter, and talked to her husband about today's events.

Qingruo's father didn't say anything after hearing this, and Ms. Fang was also silent.

Qingruo's father dried his hair and turned off the room light, but Ms. Fang was already lying down, only the bedside lamp was still on.

When the bedside lights were turned off, the room melted into darkness.

Qingruo's father spoke slowly, "Nianyang, this kid, is a real man. โ€

"Ugh." Ms. Fang sighed, "Don't say it, I really feel sorry for him." Fortunately, if I gave birth to Xiao, otherwise Nianyang would have been angry to find such one. โ€

Qingruo's father laughed, "What kind of metaphor are you?" Our daughters aren't bad, okay? โ€

"It's not bad." Ms. Fang responded and licked her lips, "Don't worry, Nianyang is measured, Xiaoruo told me before, Nianyang will not let her get pregnant before marriage." โ€

Qingruo's father hummed softly, turned over and smiled, "I don't worry about this, Nianyang is more reluctant than you to give up our daughter." โ€

Ms. Fang kicked him and snorted softly, "Well, you know best." โ€

Qingruo's father didn't want to fight with her, Ms. Fang would be really angry when she quarreled over two sentences, and when the time came, it would be troublesome, so she coaxed Ms. Fang with two sweet words along with her temper.

The room was quiet again, and after a while, Qingruo's father's breathing was smooth and even, and Ms. Fang listened for a while, and her body's conditioned reflex followed her into sleep.

There really is no need to worry. If it weren't for her and her husband feeling worried and often asking Xu Nianyang, they wouldn't know many things at all.

Outsiders can only see that Xu Nianyang returned to Zhang's house and went straight to the clouds, and the dirty and sad inside was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Xu Nianyang respected and sincere them because of Qingruo's reasons, and when they asked, he said that he did not add oil and vinegar or show affection, and stated the development of the matter.

Ms. Fang could hear her tears twice.

Xu Nianyang was still so frivolous, and only said one sentence, don't let Ruoruo know.

Ms. Fang and her husband have come over for so many years, and they can be regarded as watching Xu Nianyang all the way to the present, and they can be regarded as having done enough for the observation period and consideration period.

Xu Nianyang's heart was sad and bumpy all the way, but he never mentioned half a sentence to Qingruo, not because he was distrustful and unwilling to tell. It's just that......

Ms. Fang couldn't hold back once and asked Xu Nianyang if she felt that Qingruo was too young to share with him, so she didn't talk to Qingruo about these things.

Xu Nianyang smiled, his tone was light, "Auntie, I'm just reluctant." โ€

I can't give up a bit.

**

I hate the world,

If you like the world,

So

I'm going to work hard,

Let the world prosper.
