Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 16 Is Your Girlfriend?
Ji Qinglin smiled, dragged two chairs, placed them at the door, and called Xia Yao to come and sit.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yao stepped forward with slow steps.

Glancing at Ji Qinglin who was sitting in front of the door, a smile suddenly flashed across her eyes, and then she said with a hint of ridicule: "You look like a door god now."

"..."

The arm resting on the back of the chair stiffened.

Ji Qinglin turned his head and looked at Xia Yao suspiciously: "Have you ever seen such a handsome and talented goalkeeper?"

"..."

Facing Ji Qinglin's unhesitating boast, Xia Yao was silent for a while.

Then she automatically skipped the question, sat down on another chair, and looked outside quietly.

When she slipped out last night, she just took a brief look at the buildings here.

Because it was dark, I didn't dare to go far, so I went back.

It was dawn now, and everything was seen more clearly.

Passers-by on the street came and went, wearing clothes similar to Ji Qinglin's.

jingle!

Occasionally, one or two people rode bicycles and rang the bell and passed by.

"What is that?"

Xia Yao's eyes widened, and she looked in surprise at the bicycle that was being trampled hard by an old man.

Ji Qinglin took a look and explained briefly: "That's a bicycle, one of our current means of transportation, just like your horse-drawn carriage back then."

"How does this bicycle move?" Xia Yao turned into a curious baby in a second, and asked after him.

Then her question successfully stumped Ji Qinglin, who failed in physics.

After thinking about it, Ji Qinglin simply explained: "Press the two pedals on both sides continuously with both feet, and the bicycle will start to move."

"I also want to ride a bicycle." Xia Yao watched another bicycle passing by, with a little expectation in her eyes.

Thinking of the bicycle in his backyard that had eaten a lot of ashes, Ji Qinglin nodded: "When you are almost familiar with this place, I can take you out for a ride."

"Okay." The corner of his mouth curled up, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face.

Seeing her smiling happily, Ji Qinglin also raised the corners of his mouth.

The two chatted one after another until noon.

Just when Ji Qinglin was about to take Xia Yao back for lunch, a dark-faced man wearing blue overalls rode a small electric donkey and parked in front of the store.

"Yo, Xiao Ji, I kept you waiting!" Seeing Ji Qinglin, the uncle greeted with a smile.

Ji Qinglin also smiled back, stretched his waist and said, "Uncle He, if you come one minute late, I'll go back to eat."

"Hey, isn't this just a coincidence?"

With a smile, He Yuan got out of the car with his toolbox.

Then his gaze turned and stopped on Xia Yao.

His eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Xiao Ji, is this your girlfriend?"

This girl's outfit looks like she stepped out of TV.

Although they were in a big city, he had never seen anyone dressed like Xia Yao.

And this girl is really pretty.

Look at her nose and eyes, she looks like a classic beauty.

He Yuan felt emotional for a while, and cast a meaningful look at Ji Qinglin.

Xia Yao's attention was originally on the eDonkey.

Seeing He Yuan mentioning herself, she frowned, and looked at Ji Qinglin suspiciously.

Facing the gazes of the two men with different meanings at the same time, Ji Qinglin felt dizzy.

As for Xia Yao, he knew without guessing that Xia Yao definitely wanted to ask her girlfriend what she meant.

But she obviously remembered what she had told her before.

Now that He Yuan, an outsider like him, was here, even if she wanted to ask, she couldn't help but remain silent.

With a slight cough in embarrassment, Ji Qinglin explained: "Uncle He, she is not my girlfriend, but a simple friend of mine."

"Not a girlfriend?"

He Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xia Yao again, and said in a low voice to Ji Qinglin, "Judging from your Uncle He and my experience, it's just a matter of time between you two, Uncle He believes in you!".
"Uncle He believes in you!"

Ji Qinglin was startled when he heard this.

He quickly glanced at Xia Yao beside him.

Seeing that Xia Yao had been staring at the little eDonkey, as if she didn't hear what He Yuan said, she was relieved.

Shaking his head, Ji Qinglin looked at He Yuan again and teased: "Uncle He, are you ready for Aunt Wang?"

"What?"

His dark face flushed, and it looked darker again.

He Yuan straightened his body, habitually tugged at his overalls and said, "Isn't it about you? Why did it come to me."

Smiling, Ji Qinglin coughed lightly and said: "Based on my experience of more than 20 years, it is only a matter of time before you and Aunt Wang, Uncle He."

After finishing speaking, Ji Qinglin raised his hand and solemnly patted He Yuan on the shoulder: "There is a long way to go. But Uncle He, I believe in you too!"

"Pooh!"

He Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard Ji Qinglin's teasing intention.

But he still took a quick glance at Aunt Wang's shop next to him, and then asked in a low voice, "Well, Xiao Ji, your Aunt Wang...didn't you say anything to you recently?"

"Say what?" Ji Qinglin asked back.

With a blank look in his eyes, He Yuan waved his hands in embarrassment: "It's nothing, it's nothing, fix the windows, fix the windows!"

After finishing speaking, He Yuan carried the toolbox and walked towards the broken window with vigorous steps.

Seeing his faintly flustered back, Ji Qinglin chuckled.

Don't say it.

He really felt that Uncle He and Aunt Wang, who were single, were a good match.

Among other things, at least the two of them are decent people with nothing wrong with them.

But it's not convenient for him to get involved too much in other people's affairs.

"Uncle He, can you give me a discount for repairing the window this time?"

Ji Qinglin said, taking Xia Yao to the broken window.

Let Xia Yao sit by the door alone, that is definitely not acceptable.

"I have to see how bad it is first."

As He Yuan spoke, he glanced at the broken wooden frame and glass shards all over the floor.

His eyes widened, and he looked back at Ji Qinglin in shock: "I said, Xiao Ji, have thieves entered your shop?"

"Look at the footprints on the window frame, this thief is a bit strong!"

As soon as He Yuan said this, Ji Qinglin clearly saw a tinge of pink on Xia Yao's face.

Yep.

The strength is indeed a billion points.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

With a light cough, Ji Qinglin explained perfunctorily: "No, just encountered something."

"That's it."

Seeing that Ji Qinglin was inconvenient to speak, He Yuan didn't ask further.

He casually touched a cigarette and lit it. He frowned, stared at the broken window and said: "It's quite laborious, the damage is too serious, so I have to buy a new window to install it."

"In this case, you two should get busy. I'll call and ask my nephew to send one over. I'm sure it will be repaired today."

"Then I will trouble you, Uncle He."

Ji Qinglin said, casting a grateful look at He Yuan.

Shaking his head with a smile, He Yuan said: "There is nothing to thank, anyway, you pay for the window. As for the construction fee..."

Speaking of this, He Yuan coughed lightly, then lowered his voice and said: "Please help me find out what flowers your Aunt Wang likes, and I will give you half the price."

"..."
