"Master Qiao Xiu, thank you for your cooperation, this interview was a success......

Liu Qing and Qiao Xiu came out of the studio together, she stood on Qiao Xiu's left, slightly behind half a body, thinking of the whole interview just now, she couldn't help but sincerely thank her.

"Haha, nothing, this is the way to go. And Miss Liu, you don't have to call me an adult in private, it sounds a little weird. Well, I actually prefer that people call me by my name directly, so it's good if you call me Qiao Xiu......"

In the face of the other party's thanks, Qiao Xiu didn't feel anything, and said with a smile.

"This ...... Can I?"

Liu Qing was secretly happy when he heard Qiao Xiu say this, but he was a little uncertain and unconfident.

"Absolutely. You see, we've cooperated twice, and both times we have been very happy, so we can be regarded as friends, right? Since we are friends, we naturally don't need to be so polite, so you can just call me by my name. Then I won't call you Miss Liu, you seem to be a little older than me, I'll call you Sister Qing, what do you think?"

Qiao Xiu continued.

He obviously had a good impression of Liu Qing, so he took the initiative to get close to the other party.

Of course, Qiao Xiu did this purely because he felt that the other party was good, intellectually beautiful, and his reputation was also very good, and the two collaborations were also fateful, so he wanted to officially meet and make friends. Other than that, there isn't much else to think about.

At least for now.

"Well, of course that's no problem, I'm glad Joe ...... Qiao Xiu, can you treat me as a friend......"

Listening to Qiao Xiu's words, looking at the sincerity in his eyes, Liu Qing was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he couldn't help but smile happily, and at the same time he was a little flattered.

"I'm also very happy to be friends with a beautiful host like you, Sister Qing. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Xiu took the initiative to stretch out his right hand again.

Seeing this, Liu Qing also stretched out his slender jade hand and gently held it together with Qiao Xiu's thick and powerful palm.

The two held each other's hands, feeling the temperature from each other's palms and fingers, and there seemed to be a ripple in their hearts, but they quickly disappeared.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and as they let go of their hands, they narrowed the distance between them a little.

"It's not early, why don't we go to dinner together?" I wonder if the little girl will have the honor to invite you, a big hero, to dinner?"

The two became much more casual and close in their conversation and chat, just like friends, without the rustiness and estrangement they had before.

And Liu Qing, as a well-known host, is a person with high emotional intelligence and good at talking and communicating, after she put aside the kind of identity pressure in the face of Qiao Xiu, she quickly revealed her original nature, and even smiled and sent an invitation to Qiao Xiu in a ridiculous tone.

"Haha, Sister Qing, don't bury me, what a big hero is not a hero, we are actually an ordinary young man, but we are a little luckier than others, and we are just a little ahead. As for those things, once the country rises and falls, everyone is responsible, we were born and grew up, and everyone has such a responsibility. And fighting allows me to grow quickly, so that's what I'm happy to do. If you want to talk about heroes, we really don't dare to be them, and we don't want to be them. And you know, in my definition, hero means more of a selfless and fearless spirit of dedication and sacrifice, which I don't have, and I don't want to do. We're not the kind of noble people, we just do what we need to do within our means......"

Facing the other party's ridicule, especially when he heard the three words "big hero", Qiao Xiu first laughed, and then explained very seriously.

He was telling the truth, and he was telling the truth.

Although the image of a big hero may be more able to please beautiful women, he is really reluctant to do it with his own definition and understanding of heroes.

Compared with heroes, he prefers to be a real person with a principled bottom line.

He can be poor and good alone, and he can help the world at the same time, but these are prerequisites. Except for his loved ones, he will not easily sacrifice himself for the sake of others, even if others demand him or even persecute him in the name of righteousness.

......

"But although I can't afford the title of a big hero, it's my honor to have dinner with you, Sister Qing......"

Qiao Xiu didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and then said with a smile on his face.

"Poof...... You...... In that case, let's go, I know there's a nice restaurant nearby......"

Liu Qing listened to Qiao Xiu's words about heroes, and instead of being disappointed, he became more appreciative of him.

Indeed, great heroes are admired by the world, but farewell often means self-sacrifice, which benefits the public, but often hurts the relatives and lovers around them.

When a woman is young, she may wish that her lover is Prince Charming and a hero, but when the hero she loves really sacrifices for the righteousness of others one day, in the face of endless pain, maybe she will regret that her lover has become the hero who is hung on the wall.

On this point, in fact, Liu Qing himself has the most right to speak. Because her husband's lover was once a hero and a martyr.

Two years ago, her husband died in the line of duty, leaving behind her at the age of 26 and her one-year-old daughter.

Others think that she should be proud of such a husband, and she is indeed proud of him. It's just that behind the pride and pride, the pain of loss, as time goes by, in addition to her and her family still suffering silently, how many others will remember and care?

How many times did she wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, how many times did she see her daughter crying for her father, Liu Qing regretted it, regretted why she was selfish in the first place.

If she could have been selfish, maybe her husband wouldn't have sacrificed and wouldn't have left her forever.

To this day, Liu Qing is of course still the kind-hearted woman.

It's just that after experiencing the loss of her love, it is actually difficult for her to be 100% selfless.

Therefore, Qiao Xiu's sincere and straightforward words just now can be said to have just spoken to her heart.

Compared with the so-called heroes who are full of enthusiasm and don't even know that they are being used, and finally fall victim to the interests of others under the banner of righteousness, she now admires Qiao Xiu more for people who do good and dedicate themselves within the scope of their ability and above the bottom line of principles.

In the end, she looked at Qiao Xiu's face with a smile on her face and bent over, she couldn't help but sneer, and then subconsciously reached out and pulled Qiao Xiu's arm and walked out.

Qiao Xiu was also happy to do so, and did not break free, but closely followed the other party's brisk pace.

However, because he hadn't walked far before he met a colleague who was working on the same floor, he reacted with a shyness in his heart, and Liu Qing, whose cheeks were slightly red, realized that it was not appropriate to pull Qiao Xiu to walk like this, and quickly let go of his hand.

Then the two walked out of the building of the Maocheng Official Media Propaganda Department side by side, walked out of the official compound, and came outside with different moods.

"Hey, Mom, it's me. I just finished the interview, and I'm going to have dinner with Liu Qing, so I'm not going home for dinner tonight......"

When I went outside, because the restaurant that Liu Qing was going to was not very far from the official compound, I decided to walk there.

Then on the way, Qiao Xiu saw that it was not early, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call home, telling his mother that he would not go home for dinner tonight.

The mother had apparently just watched the live interview at home, so it wasn't surprising.

Even when her mother heard that Qiao Xiu was going to eat with Liu Qing, she secretly asked if there were only two of them eating alone.

After learning the specific situation, the mother was also very happy, and vaguely hinted that Qiao Xiu should seize the opportunity.

There is no doubt that Liu Qing's intellectual beauty and performance in front of the camera made Qiao Xiu's mother very satisfied, and even liked it more and more she watched.

Therefore, when she learned that Qiao Xiu was going to eat with the other party, she immediately had the idea of pulling the red line to match.

Qiao Xiu was naturally speechless about his mother's practice of wanting the other party to be his daughter-in-law when he caught anyone.

But he didn't want to blame anything, so he had to prevaricate casually and quickly hung up the phone.

Turning around, he secretly glanced at Liu Qing, who was also calling his parents at home, and remembered what his mother had just said, what is this hostess with a strong face, and her figure is convex and protect...... I couldn't help but feel a slight heat on my old face.

"But Sister Qing's figure is really good, full of mature charm, it's my ...... No, it's the type that men like......"

Although he was a little embarrassed, Qiao Xiu's gaze was unconsciously attracted, and then stayed on Liu Qing's body and was unwilling to move away.

"Ahh......h

After sweeping up and down a few times, Qiao Xiu came back to his senses with supreme concentration, and then quickly removed his eyes, and at the same time secretly blamed himself in his heart for blaspheming the beauty by looking at it indiscriminately.

"Mom...... It's not what you think...... Okay, I won't tell you, Yan'er will ask you to take care of it, I'll hang up first......"

When calling his parents at home to explain the situation, Liu Qing seemed to have encountered a similar situation to Qiao Xiu.

From her blushing face, it was not difficult to see that her mother was also full of joy when she learned that she was going to have dinner with Qiao Xiu, a newly promoted transcendent fourth-order master, in the evening.

For Qiao Xiu, it is estimated that the parents who have adult daughters in the entire Maocheng will not be dissatisfied.

I don't know how many people fantasize that their daughter can marry Qiao Xiu one day.

Although Qiao Xiu's family background could not be more ordinary, it was an authentic peasant family before, but now with such an extraordinary fourth-order master as him, the Qiao family is a well-deserved No. 1 wealthy family in Maocheng.

In addition to his strength, status, and the aura of the hero title on his body, Qiao Xiu's words and deeds in the show are also satisfactory.

Such a young man who is only twenty-six years old, in addition to his overly tall and burly figure, is definitely a high-quality mate and son-in-law candidate.

Liu Qing's parents are both literate people and don't have so many snobbery, but the two elders saw that their daughter became a widow and a single mother at a young age, and naturally hoped that she could find her own happiness again and not die alone.

Originally, if Liu Qing and Qiao Xiu were just working together, the two elders wouldn't think much about it. But I heard that my daughter was going out to eat alone with Qiao Xiu after the work cooperation was over, and it was naturally easy for a lonely man and a widow to associate with that aspect.

Because Qiao Xiu's character and other aspects are very reassuring and satisfying, Liu Qing's parents are not very worried that their daughter will suffer.

On the contrary, after associating with the relationship between men and women, Liu Qing's mother still hopes that the two are really dating, which means that her daughter has the idea of starting a new life and new feelings, which is also what she wants to see.

Then the old man not only encouraged his daughter to be brave enough to pursue her own happiness, but also hurriedly began to give her advice.

In this way, it is no wonder that Liu Qinghui blushed and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Although she did not deny that she admired Qiao Xiu very much and had a good impression of Qiao Xiu in her heart, today was the second time the two met, and it could be said that it was the first time they had officially met.

The relationship has gone from a stranger who has only worked together twice to an ordinary friend, which is already a huge breakthrough, how can it be possible to start dating women and men then?

Although she is a woman who has been married once, she is not so bold and open.

"Qiao Xiu, did you tell the family? They don't have any opinions, right?"

Hanging up the phone, Liu Qing asked in a low voice to Qiao Xiu while putting the phone in his bag.

"Well, I said. Of course they have no opinion. I'm going to have dinner with you, Sister Qing......"

Qiao Xiu smiled when he heard this.

"That's good, let's go quickly, we're hungry......"

was teased a little by Qiao Xiu, Liu Qing just glanced at him slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward with a greeting.

Qiao Xiu looked at Liu Qing's graceful back and laughed silently again, and then quickly followed.

The two walked all the way down the street, and it didn't take long for them to come to the restaurant that Liu Qing said.

As Maocheng gradually stabilized and order slowly restored, all walks of life gradually began to fully recover.

And the people take food as the sky, and the catering industry will naturally not lag behind.

The scale of this restaurant is not very large, but the environment and interior layout are relatively elegant and quiet, and the dishes are also relatively light, so it is deeply loved by Liu Qing.

It is precisely because this is Liu Qing's favorite restaurant, and the food here tastes really good, so Liu Qing subconsciously thought of bringing Qiao Xiu here.

After coming out of the official compound, she reacted that it was a bit inappropriate to choose a restaurant based on her own preferences, and asked Qiao Xiu's opinion.

Qiao Xiu himself is a vegetarian, heavy and light, and basically not picky eater, so he did not change the location of this meal, but followed Liu Qing's idea and insisted on coming to this restaurant known for its quiet environment and light dishes.

When they came to the restaurant, they were politely welcomed by the waiter, and the two quickly entered and came to the top floor.

They ended up in a window spot with a view of the city at night.

"Qiao Xiu, you can order whatever you want to eat, you don't have to be polite to me......"

The two sat facing each other across the dining table, Liu Qing first picked up a menu, and did not forget to remind Qiao Xiudao while flipping through it.

"I know, Sister Qing, although this is the first time you have invited me to dinner, I will not be polite to you......"

Qiao Xiu said with a smile before reaching out and picking up the menu on the table in front of him.

"This, this, and this...... Okay, that's all for now, thank you ......"

Although Qiao Xiu said that he was not polite, he didn't really let go of the order, but ordered a few things that were pleasing to the eye and stopped.

Eating is no longer a necessary way for him to maintain himself, but a long-term habit, so there is no need to care about how much or too little he has.

"Ah, Qiao Xiu, why do you order so little? As far as I know, transcendents, especially transcendent warriors like you, are all from the king of big stomachs......"

Seeing that Qiao Xiu had only ordered a few small dishes and stopped, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and confused.

"Haha, Sister Qing, you're right, I used to have a lot of food, and it's not a problem for one person to eat one or two tables of food at a time, but now I don't need it...... Well, eating is just a hobby and a hobby for me now......"

Qiao Xiu explained with a smile when he heard this.

"Oh...... I see......"

Although Qiao Xiu didn't say it directly, Liu Qing remembered that Qiao Xiu was now a great master of the Extraordinary Fourth Order, and immediately understood what he meant.

"I didn't expect you to be able to stop eating fireworks in the world now......"

After understanding that Qiao Xiu could already maintain his survival without having to eat, Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

The power and magic of the Transcendent Fourth Order reminded her of those myths and legends and the masters of the cultivation and immortal cultivation described in it.

"No, Sister Qing, I still like to eat more fireworks in the world. Because you are born as a human being, no matter how strong you become, you will always be a person. It is a human being, so it is natural to live in the world, and it is naturally indispensable to live in the world......"

Listening to Liu Qing's sigh, Qiao Xiu suddenly turned into a serious face again, and expressed his views and attitudes seriously.

"Well, you're right. ”

When Liu Qing heard this, his eyes lit up again, and his appreciation for Qiao Xiu overflowed unabashedly.

I have to say that Qiao Xiu's consciousness is very much in line with her heart, and it also makes her further put aside Qiao Xiu's identity as an extraordinary fourth-order master and the number one powerhouse in Maocheng.

Then, under this premise, the two got along more and more harmoniously and relaxedly, and they also talked happily with each other.

"Qiao Xiu, you try this, it's delicious......"

The two chatted and waited, and it didn't take long for all the meals to be served.

Liu Qing, who felt hungry after a day of work, greeted Qiao Xiu and started with chopsticks. And after she tasted her favorite dish, she couldn't help but want Qiao Xiu to try it too.

"Good ......"

Qiao Xiu happily accepted, and then stretched out his chopsticks.

"How's that?

Liu Qing watched Qiao Xiu pick up a mouthful of food and send it to his mouth, and he was inexplicably a little nervous.

She was worried that Qiao Xiu's taste was completely different from her own, and then she didn't like the dish she ordered.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious......"

Qiao Xiu didn't disappoint her, took a big bite of the meal, and then replied sincerely.

In fact, although Liu Qing's favorite dish is relatively a little too light, both the quality of the ingredients and the cooking techniques are just right, as long as it is not too heavy for people with heavy tastes, they will give a thumbs up after eating.

Therefore, Qiao Xiu didn't deliberately mean to please Liu Qing perfunctorily, but really felt that the texture of this dish was good, especially the texture.

"Really, then you should eat more......

Liu Qing listened to Qiao Xiu's answer, looked at his unpretentious expression, and finally couldn't help but smile happily.

Then she asked Qiao Xiu to eat more, and at the same time subconsciously picked up the food and sent it to Qiao Xiu's bowl.

"No ......"

"Thank you, Sister Qing, you can eat it too......"

After Liu Qing put the food in Qiao Xiu's bowl, she reacted, her cheeks flushed again, and then she couldn't help but say sorry to Qiao Xiu when she felt embarrassed.

Because the two have only known each other for a long time, they care far from being intimate, so it is obviously a bit inappropriate to serve each other's dishes, and it is even a little impolite in her opinion.

Fortunately, Qiao Xiu didn't care about this, and quickly interrupted Liu Qing's apologetic words, and then smiled while picking up the dishes in the bowl while beckoning Liu Qing to eat more.

After speaking, he did not hesitate to stuff the dish that Liu Qing had just sandwiched for him into his mouth.

"Good ......"

Liu Qing looked at this scene and thought that this dish might have been stained with his own saliva, but it was put in his mouth by Qiao Xiu and eaten, and his heart was shy again, and his cheeks became more and more rosy.

She whispered a reply, blushed, lowered her head slightly, and began to eat in small gulps to hide her embarrassment.

"This dish was given to me by Sister Qing, and I ate it in my mouth, are we an indirect kiss?"

On the other side, Qiao Xiu actually had a little crooked thought in his heart.

Fortunately, he is now thick-skinned and has easy control over his body, so he is not as blushing as Liu Qing.

It's just that the embarrassment with a hint of charm and ambiguity still spreads between the two invisibly, making the two relatively speechless for a while, and can only bury their heads in eating.

Fortunately, the two of them had enough mental cultivation and quickly adjusted.

Then a pleasant conversation accompanied by laughter quickly washed away the awkward atmosphere.

Because of chatting while eating, although the two did not order much and did not eat much, it took more than two hours to complete the meal.

By the time they were full and ready to pay for their meals and leave the restaurant, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Outside, night had already fallen, and the lights were on.

When it came time to pay, Qiao Xiu, who was a man, finally got ahead of Liu Qing.

In this regard, Liu Qing, who had said that she would invite Qiao Xiu to dinner, was unhappy at first, and she insisted on paying for it herself.

It was Qiao Xiu who persuaded him gently, and bluntly said that he hoped that he would have the opportunity to eat the food made by Liu Qing himself in the future, so Liu Qing gave up paying for it himself.

In fact, the meal for the two of them was not expensive, and it only cost a few hundred Chinese coins in total.

This amount of money is nothing to Qiao Xiu or Liu Qing.

The reason why each has its own insistence is just the reason for the principles and concepts of the two people.

After communicating clearly and making an agreement faintly, Qiao Xiu finally paid for it, and everyone was happy.

Coming out of the restaurant, the two were not in a hurry to separate, but walked slowly along the street on the side.

It wasn't until they had walked several nearby streets that the two decided to go home.

Then, they still don't have to rush to separate.

Because just now, Qiao Xiu learned that Liu Qing and her family had also moved into the newly built residential community for relatives of officials.

Thinking about it, Liu Qing himself is the head of Maocheng TV, and now Maocheng TV has been further merged as part of the official information function department of the Maocheng Survivor Base, and Liu Qing has naturally become an official insider.

And Liu Qing's father was also a leader of the Maocheng Cultural Bureau, and he was also an official insider, so it was natural for her family to live in the newly built community.

Although they do not live in the villa area, they are in the same community, and they naturally go home on the same road. And the actual distance between the two people's new home is not very far.

"Sister Qing, it's not too early, let's go back......"

"Good ......"

The two returned to the street near the official compound, reached a tacit consensus, and then walked side by side towards the nearby newly built community.

Along the way, because of Qiao Xiu's company, Liu Qing felt unprecedented peace of mind.
