Chapter 72 The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost: Qingqing Zijin
When they got home, everyone got up, and they were very curious about the two of them coming back from outside, especially Xiao Chengzhuo, lest they go to play something fun, so they missed him, and trotted up to pester Ye Qinghe, "Sister, where have you been?" Why don't you take me there? β
Ye Qinghe took his hand and explained to Xiao Chengxing and Jiang Yuwan, "I went for a run with my second brother, the air was very good in the morning, and my second brother also memorized an English text?" Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, and the second brother's English pronunciation is really good, similar to the announcer of the international station. β
It was the first time she said so many things in front of Jiang Yuwan, and it seemed that she was praising Xiao Yiting with complete sincerity, and Jiang Yuwan's face suddenly showed a look of complacency, "That is, we Yiting learned English with his eldest brother since he was a child, and the teachers praised him for his great talent in languages and his natural translator!" β
A cold snort came, and Xiao Chengxing spoke, "What are you doing when you were a child?" Don't you see what he has become in the past few years? "This little son was indeed smart and clever when he was young, and his good London English gave him a lot of faces, but the more he grew up, the more headaches he felt.
Speaking of this, Xiao Chengxing suddenly remembered what Ye Qinghe said to him last time, and when he looked at this girl again, she was really struggling at him... Niche...
He frowned, trying to make his stiff face relax, although it was very awkward, but in the end he still squeezed out a smile, "However, the foundation is good, it's still too late to pick it up now, go out in the morning to practice in the morning and memorize English by the way, this habit is good." Fishing evening, I think the two of us will get up early in the morning to exercise with the children, you and I are old, taking care of your body is the most important thing. β
Jiang Yuwan smiled slightly, a gentle halo appeared on her face, and if her husband was a little considerate, she would be very useful, "Okay, I will accompany you for morning exercises from tomorrow." β
"I'm going too! I'm going too! "Xiao Chengzhuo is a lord who is unwilling to be lonely, how can such a lively event be less light than him?
At this moment when the emotions are boiling, the only person who feels that the end of the world has come is Xiao Yiting......
What is Daddy going to follow? Does this give him a chance to be lazy?
Ye Qinghe beside him was quiet at the moment, but why did he think there was something wrong with this?
One day, Ye Qinghe and Xiao Yiting returned from school, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw Jiang Yuwan and Xiao Chengxing talking about something, and they were very happy.
"Mom, what's so happy?" Xiao Yiting is very good at pleasing Jiang Yuwan, and the first person to call when he comes home is always his mother.
Jiang Yuwan eagerly pulled his son to sit down beside him, "Son, your chance is here again!" The Youth Calligraphy Competition sent us an invitation letter, hurry up and prepare a pair of words and send them to the competition! β
"Mom......" Xiao Yiting felt big when he heard it, "How nervous we are studying now, don't participate in these competitions, I am no longer a child......" I have been pulled by my mother to participate in this competition since I was a child, and every time I won a prize, it became my mother's capital to show off in front of relatives and friends, and now he is almost eighteen, can you not be so naΓ―ve?"
Jiang Yuwan was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "How can this delay learning?" So what do you do with calligraphy? Besides, this is also paving the way for your future future! Maybe you become a calligrapher? β
"Mom...... I'm really far away from the calligrapher...... And the purpose of my calligraphy practice is not to be in the limelight, but to cultivate sentiment! If you don't believe it, ask Dad, Dad, I can't become a proud capital just because I write a little better, right? We have to learn to be introverted, learn to hide deeply, don't we, Dad? Besides, now I deeply realize that my words are nothing at all, there are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, and in our family, my sister's words are not many times better than mine! β
"Chengxing!" Jiang Yuwan was very angry, glaring at her husband, if her husband was also on her son's side, she would not be done with him! When I told him about it before, he wasn't very enthusiastic.
Xiao Chengxing received a signal from his wife, and said lazily, "It's good to be able to recognize this, I want you to write just to cultivate your temperament, as for the words that are better than you, there are indeed many people, but your mother is also well-intentioned, and if you have advantages, you have to show them, so let's do it, since you say that Qinghe's words are better than yours, then both of you should prepare a pair of works to prepare for the competition." β
"......" This is the helplessness of children in front of adults, Xiao Yiting was extremely unhappy to go upstairs, while muttering, "I will become a father in the future, I will never let my child practice this and that, and I must not force him to study, what he likes to do, play mud and play games, no need to write homework, and don't get good grades......"
Xiao Chengxing was amused by his son's childishness, "What a bastard!" You're not too young anymore to say these childish things? What became a dad after that? You have to be a dad! With your current virtue, will anyone marry you? β
"You ...... this" Xiao Yiting originally wanted to say, you don't know this, there are a lot of people who like me, but after thinking about it, if his father knows that he is in early love at school, it would be strange if he didn't split him, so forget it...... I secretly felt comfortable in my heart, Daddy, Daddy, it's your son who has a high vision, otherwise you can be a grandfather now!
Although he was reluctant, he finally wrote a picture with Ye Qinghe and prepared to make a mistake, and he was quite sorry in his heart, and pulled his sister into the water......
After writing, he rummaged through the cabinet to find his bloodstone seal and made a seal at the end. This stone is still a time he once won a grand prize, his mother gave him, a broken stone, it is said to be quite valuable, he took it and threw it away, he didn't think about it for a long time, so that he wanted to use it in which corner.
"Okay, what about yours? Is it written? He tilted his head to look.
Hers has also been completed, just not yet stamped.
"What about the seal? Is there a stamp? He pointed to the location of the rubbing.
She thought for a moment and took out the box that Jiang Zhiyong had given her.
This jade medal has not been opened since she took it from Jiang Zhiyong.
"This box is beautiful!" He praised. At first glance, it is a girl's thing, an antique small wooden box, the lid is carved with retro patterns, and it is also inlaid with an imitation ruby. "I'll cover you!"
As he spoke, he snatched the box and opened it, revealing a small piece of pink paper folded into strips falling out.
He picked up the paper and glanced at Ye Qinghe.
Ye Qinghe himself was also surprised, so that his reaction was so slow that when he wanted to stop it, it was too late, so he unfolded the paper.
"To Qinghe, Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. Enoyong? He read it out in a questioning tone, and when he looked back at her, he was already angry, "This is Jiang Zhiyong's gift to you?" β
She only paused slightly, and then calmly replied, "Yes." β
He tore the paper to shreds in frustration and threw the scraps of paper in the trash, "Are you an idiot?" What does Qingqingzijin mean by my heart, don't you know? Or do you like to be like this? β
Anyway, she didn't even know there was a note in it, okay?
"Girls should love themselves, do you understand? How can you casually accept gifts from guys? He picked up the seal and looked at it, the words on the seal were particularly dazzling, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Such a garbage word, he carved it himself, right?" Are you embarrassed to give it away? Do you want me to write a seal script as a copy? Enoyong! I warned you! β
She watched him get angry and violent, a little confused, he said that she didn't know how to love herself, and she wouldn't bother with him. People know themselves, she knows what kind of person she is, what kind of heart she has, and she will definitely not argue because of a few slanderous words from others that she feels that her self-esteem has been hurt, not to mention, he is not someone else.
However, his last sentence made her anxious, "Second brother, what do you want to do?" β
"What for?" He glared at her fiercely, "You listen to me, and I will leave Jiangzhi forever in the future!" As for your script, has it been so long and it hasn't been finalized? Don't write it! Bastard! Playing tricks in front of me and soaking my sister under the guise of writing a script! The trick is a little more tender! Don't ask me who Xiao Er is! Dare to pluck the tiger's head! β
"......" What is the plucking of the tiger's head? Is she a hair on his head? But now is not the time to care about this, he is obviously going to beat people up like this! She couldn't help but grab his sleeve, "Second brother, don't mess around!" Don't hit him! β
These words made Xiao Yiting even more angry, "What? You're still protecting that bastard?! Sister, have you forgotten what I told you? You are still young, and your grades are so good, my father wants you to go to Tsinghua University, don't ruin your future when you fall in love at a young age! β
Ye Qinghe was speechless, he educated others one by one, what about himself?
Xiao Yiting himself realized this, and was slightly embarrassed, "Sister, you are different from me!" I'm glamorous...... I can't stop it, but you're different from those girls, you know? You are so ......" He didn't know what words to use to describe her, remembering the scene of her standing in Shui Ting, demure and dusty, with a unique fragrance, it was not at all comparable to those vulgar fans who revolved around him, and Jiang Zhiyong standing with her would only insult her, and more importantly, she was still a child!
So, in another way, "Sister, you are so small!" I haven't grown up yet, and I can't see the dirty intentions of boys clearly, I understand, but, from now on, I have to keep my distance from Jiang Zhiyong, and I can't let myself be confused anymore! As for this stamp, throw it! β
He put the seal back in the box and took it with him.
Ye Qinghe wanted to laugh for a moment, what does it mean to be charming?
Seeing that he was leaving, she tugged at his clothes and didn't let go, "Second brother, you promise me that you can't beat people!" β
Xiao Yiting became upset again for no reason, "Let go!" Why are you always protecting him? If you don't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has! β
"Second brother, you can't hit someone! You promise me! She stubbornly tugged at his sleeve and repeated the words.
Sometimes it's really annoying to be too stubborn!
He glared at her in exasperation.
Why is this girl so screwed! Forcing him to do this when he does his homework! Forcing him to memorize texts is the same! forced him to be a "turtle" for her to walk every day! Now protecting Jiang Zhiyong is still like this! Forget it when he's angry!
"Second brother......" she called him, gently and softly, looking at him persistently through the lenses.
"Oops! Ok ok! Just promise you! It's annoying! He shook off her hand and left.
She stood in the room, looked at his back, and pushed her glasses.
That afternoon, he went out to play with Chen An and them as usual, but when he came back, it was a little late.
Ye Qinghe didn't ask him where he went, after all, he had changed too much, and it was normal to go out with friends on the weekend, have a meal and come back.
Unbeknownst to him, at night, he burrowed into her room and smiled mysteriously.
"What for?" I don't have to review today, and he still came to her room? Throwing yourself into the net?
"Sister, I'll show you something! Guess what! His hands were behind his back, and in the light, his amber eyes shimmered with joy and mystery.
"What? I can't guess. This made her guess, thought about it, and wondered, "It can't be a little turtle, right?" β
These days, she meets a child walking the turtle every morning, and she also makes no secret of her love for the turtle. It's just that every time the child stretches out his head to look for her little turtle, she can only look at him and laugh, "Little turtle, my sister brought it, she really brought ......."
"Really? How can I not see? "The little one will frown innocently.
She didn't dare to say it too explicitly in front of the Xiao family, so she had to fool the children, "Sister's little turtle is invisible, of course you can't see ......"
Of course, every time he turned blue with anger, he vowed to get her a real turtle and make her turtle appear in its original form!
This sentence almost made her laugh crazy, yes, in its original form......
So, she thought, this time he did bring her the turtle's original form......
He immediately became frustrated, "You really like turtles so much?" β
"Yes! The turtle is obedient and cute! "She's sneering.
He found that she would smile every time she mentioned the turtle......
"Well, later, it's not a turtle this time......" His hand reached under her nose, and a small locket lay in the palm of his hand.
Judging by the shape and size of this locket, it should be a seal inside.
He threw away her jade medallion and gave her another one, right?
She stared at the locket and didn't speak.
This was not the reaction he was used to.
If he gave away something to the girls, they would rejoice as if they had received a holy grace. However, she is a younger sister, a younger sister who will not move even when the sky falls, so she is naturally different from others......
So, he opened the box for her with his own hands, "Look, do you like it or not?" β
Her complexion changed slightly, and what was lying in the box turned out to be a bloodstone......
It's only the size of a thumb, so at a glance, the chicken blood component is not yet 40%, which is not a treasure, but it is also bloodstone......
He took out the stone, held her wrist, and put the stone in her palm, "This is not the best, but I only have this ability now, and when I have money in the future, I will buy you a better one, I promised." He remembered what he had promised, when he was able, he would buy her whatever she wanted, and he would not forget it.
She still watched, silent.
He thought that she was still angry about the jade medal, "Sister, don't be like this, although this seal is worse than the one I use, it is much better than Jiang Zhiyong's jade, and this word is also much more professionally engraved, you will not be so embarrassed in your work, the word engraved by Jiang Zhiyong is obviously ruining your work!" β
"So, the reason you came home late today is to buy this!" She finally spoke, but her voice was cold.
"Yes! After playing, I searched for a long time to find such a suitable one! I haven't had time to eat yet! He said with some grievances, "I originally wanted to find a more beautiful box to put it in, but I was really not satisfied, and it was too late, sister, you will just take it!" β
She spread out her palms and looked at the stone carefully in the light, and she was not mistaken, it was not much different from what she had estimated.
"Sister, you know this? Let's see if I've been fooled. They don't understand the eldest and the third, so they can't give me a reference. He asked.
She looked at him silently for a moment, the light reflecting off her lenses, completely unable to see what was in her eyes.
"Could it be...... Am I fooled? He asked worriedly.
"Nope." She whispered.
"That's good! If you dare to cheat me, I must demolish his shop! β
He was swearing at the curse, and coldly heard her soft voice sound:
"Second brother, I just want to know, where did your money come from?"
