After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

Small study on the west side.

Yan Guizhou took a last look at the final data on the watch, and after confirming that it was correct, he closed the computer, stretched, picked up the cup next to him and handed it to his mouth, only to find that the water in it was empty.

There was no water in the jug next to it either.

Yan Guizhou stood up and glanced at the electronic clock next to him.

Twenty-one minutes past midnight.

Everyone else should be asleep by now.

When Yan Guizhou pushed the door open, she subconsciously slowed down her steps. The night light in the corridor was still on, and she went to the small living room in the middle to shake the kettle. There was only a little left in it, and it was undoubtedly cold.

She had to turn around and go downstairs.

A small light was on in the kitchen.

Auntie should have gone back by now, Yan Guizhou paused, clenched the handle of the cup, and stepped a little lighter. After approaching, the people inside first noticed the movement behind them.

"Guizhou?" Jiang Xuehe turned his head, was also taken aback for a moment, then remembered to gesture to the kettle and cup in his hand, and explained, "I forgot to bring the cup, come down and pour some water."

Yan Guizhou breathed a sigh of relief, walked in, and said, "I thought everyone was asleep."

Jiang Xuehe had just picked up the kettle, and soon realized that there was no water in it.

"Let me boil some more water." Yan Guizhou closed the kitchen door behind his back, took some water from the pot in her hand, put it on the base to boil, and then turned to her and asked, "Can't you sleep? "

Jiang Xuehe smiled and said, "Maybe I ate too much at night."

Yan Guizhou asked, "Shall I get you some digestion tablets?"

Jiang Xuehe shook his head: "After walking around the room for a while, I didn't feel too uncomfortable. I'll drink some water later and go to sleep."

Yan Guizhou said, "Then drink less."

Jiang Xuehe nodded: "Okay."

The water in the kettle slowly bubbled up a little bit, and the sound of the machine was not too loud, just enough to cover their soft voice.

But speaking of them, they are not too familiar with each other, and after a few simple greetings, it seems that there is nothing to say.

Jiang Xuehe thought of what Yan Guizhou had said in the hospital during the day, and wondered how much he could say.

"Before dinner, Gui Qiu told me about your affairs." Jiang Xuehe took the initiative to say, "She just hopes to let you stand firm, and doesn't want to cause trouble for you."

"What kind of trouble is that?" Yan Guizhou muttered in a low voice, frowning unconsciously, and said, "I'm just worried about her in the future..."

Now that Yan Guiqiu is still a student, so many ugly words have been spread.

What about after that?

In the future, when her peers get married and start a career, Yan Guiqiu is still wandering outside and refuses to leave the house. If she is bullied, her family will not be able to help her immediately.

What's more, now that she has taken a more difficult path in terms of relationship, no one knows how cold others will give her in the future.

If you stay at home, you will have some achievements in your career, and you will have more confidence to stand up.

"How do you know that she won't be able to gain confidence in other places in the future?" Jiang Xuehe waited for her to finish speaking before saying.

Yan Guizhou was at a loss for words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's not as easy as it is at home."

The sister's talent is here.

Even if it is not used, she also feels it is a waste.

"But only if she likes to do it." Jiang Xuehe said, "Besides, I'm still here."

Yan Guizhou looked up at Jiang Xuehe for a while.

The kettle whined, and Yan Guizhou turned his gaze back. When the water boiled, he first poured Jiang Xuehe half a glass of water, and then poured himself another glass.

"I thought it would be Gu..." Yan Guizhou paused, but did not continue, "Since my sister likes it, it must be the most suitable for her."

She suddenly felt that it would be nice for someone to protect her sister.

A person like Yan Guiqiu always seems to be able to do everything with ease, often making people forget that she actually has a vulnerable and embarrassing side.

She can't be asked to unilaterally protect a person for the rest of her life.

What's more, those people around her have known each other for so long, if there is really something, there is no need to wait for Jiang Xuehe to show up.

Yan Guizhou figured it out, so he didn't say the rest.

He does not mean that.

Jiang Xuehe vaguely guessed what she wanted to say, looked up at her, but didn't wait for the next sentence.

Yan Guizhou held the cup and blew, and after taking a sip, she was burned until her tongue stuck out, so she only held the cup, covered her mouth and yawned, stretched out her hand and opened the kitchen door.

"Sister Xuehe, go back and rest early." Yan Guizhou said, "Aren't you going on a date tomorrow?"

Jiang Xuehe gave a "hmm", watched her go upstairs, and stood there for a while.

Finally, she took a sip of water from the cup, and the water temperature was just right.

She walked slowly out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Yan Guiqiu's room door was closed tightly, and he should have fallen asleep by now.

Jiang Xuehe stood at the door for a while before pushing open the door of the guest room.

Silent all night.

When Yan Guiqiu woke up the next morning, Jiang Xuehe had already had breakfast downstairs.

Both Ms. Meng and Father Yan went to the company after breakfast, and said they would be back around noon. Yan Guizhou had no class in the morning, so Ms. Meng gave her a holiday and could rest at home for half a day. Next, have breakfast with Jiang Xuehe.

Yan Guiqiu sat down next to Jiang Xuehe sleepily, and Yan Guizhou pushed the fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table to her.

"What bad things did you do last night?" Seeing her tired face, Yan Guizhou couldn't help asking, "Did you sleep well?"

Yan Guiqiu took the cup and drank a couple of sips, trying to lift his spirits: "I searched the travel guide, and it seems that the lanterns will start tonight."

Yan Guizhou said beside him: "There are no lanterns today, it's a flower boat parade, but there are still a lot of people. If you want to play with Sister Xuehe, remember to go there early to reserve a seat."

Yan Guiqiu let out an "oh" and continued to drink soy milk slowly.

Jiang Xuehe glanced at her and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Yan Guiqiu shook his head: "When I wake up in the morning, my eyelids are twitching—forget it, I don't want to worry about those bad things, and I will wake up after washing my face later."

After finishing speaking, she quickly ate the fried dough sticks and drank the soy milk, then went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, and when she came out, she was indeed much more awake.

Yan Guizhou was outside watching the news with a tablet. When he saw his sister come out, he asked her again: "Did you really go to fight for righteousness yesterday?"

Yan Guiqiu: "..."

Yan Guiqiu: "Otherwise?"

Yan Guizhou cast a sideways glance at her: "Didn't you say that the two of you fell in love together?"

Yan Guiqiu: "..."

Yan Guizhou glanced at the news for Jiang Xuehe who was next to him. He was only in a small corner of the local news feed, but he was assigned a photo. In the photo, only the profile of the person standing was taken, but for those who are familiar with it, It's instantly recognizable.

The news severely criticized this kind of behavior of blackmailing people after being rescued by well-meaning people, and added at the end that the child had been checked in the hospital and there was nothing serious.

The inscription at the end reads the intern reporter of a certain newspaper.

From the perspective of time, it has just been issued for a while, and there is not much reading.

Yan Guizhou asked, "Would you like to help suppress it?"

Yan Guiqiu glanced at the report, but it was not very detailed, and then looked at the photos, the photos were not very clear, especially Jiang Xuehe, unless he is very familiar with someone who knows where she is, otherwise it is difficult to easily identify come out.

"Forget it, I didn't write my name anyway." Yan Guiqiu shook his head, "No one will care about it in a while."

"Oh." Yan Guizhou crossed the news and saw the other two getting up and going out, so he waved his hands twice, "Have fun—oh, by the way, it's better to come back for dinner if it's convenient tonight, Dad said today He cooks."

Yan Guiqiu nodded, took his bag and coat and pulled Jiang Xuehe out the door.

The first stop is the newly opened art museum in Ningcheng. go in.

There are not many people at the moment, and the one with the most presence is a middle-aged and elderly tourist group.

Most of the tourists in the tour group have gray hair, but they seem to be in good spirits and quality. They deliberately lower their voices when they speak, and occasionally stop somewhere for a while, and then speed up their pace to catch up with most of the people in front of them.

The youngest one is the tour guide, a young girl in her 30s and [-]s, with a gentle tone and clear articulate speech. She walks through some windows without looking at the introduction column, and has historical background and some interesting allusions at her fingertips.

Jiang Xuehe was going to go to the other side, but seeing that Yan Guiqiu was listening with interest, he followed her silently.

The last ones in the tour group were three old ladies, who were standing around a transparent display window filled with porcelain, pointing to the pattern outside and whispering something.

They were talking about some funny joke, and several people laughed while talking. One of the old ladies laughed a little louder, and was patted by the companion next to her.

"Pay attention to quality!" The old lady said with a serious face.

But it was obviously just a joke. The old lady next to her couldn't hold back and laughed, but she also remembered to lower the volume.

Yan Guiqiu's attention was also attracted, and when he passed by the porcelain after them, he lowered his head and took a look. The outer wall was the usual blue pattern, and the small characters on the side only wrote the year and author, and he couldn't tell the truth. what's so funny.

She pulled Jiang Xuehe to look, but Jiang Xuehe didn't see anything interesting.

"Maybe he thought of something else." Jiang Xuehe said.

When I looked up again, the three old ladies had already followed the large army, but they were still whispering together. Now that they were far away, they couldn't hear what they said clearly. Just by looking at their expressions, they seemed to be thinking about it again. What a joke.

"I've also thought about what it will be like when I get old in the future." Yan Guiqiu looked at them and said, "At that time, I thought it was probably like this. When I was on vacation or retired, I asked friends to go shopping together, travel .”

Although when the time comes, she may not have the energy.

Maybe the whole day is just basking in the sun, reading books and petting cats.

"After thinking about it, I thought it was unlikely." Yan Guiqiu said.

"Why?" Jiang Xuehe asked.

"When that time comes, they must all have their own families, and they may not be able to get close as freely as they are now." Yan Guiqiu said, "I don't want to disturb them all the time."

"Hmm." Jiang Xuehe thought for a while and asked, "What about you?"

"Myself?"

"I never thought that I would have a family. Is there anyone else who will accompany you?"

Maybe it's not just the other half, Jiang Xuehe thinks that Yan Guiqiu's friends are probably willing to go out with her to mess around in the end.

But at this moment, Yan Guiqiu already thought of not disturbing their lives in the future.

Yan Guiqiu shook his head honestly, and said, "Before I met you, I never thought about getting married."

Jiang Xuehe asked: "Don't want to fall in love? Do you find it troublesome?"

This was her own previous thought.

Yan Guiqiu continued to shake his head, thinking about what to say for a while: "It's just... if it's not the right person, I can't do it, but I have never met such a person since I grew up."

Jiang Xuehe asked: "What kind of person?"

Yan Guiqiu turned to look at her, and said, "Of course it's you."

Jiang Xuehe knew that he was coaxing her, but he still felt good after hearing it.

"But I didn't know at that time." Yan Guiqiu continued, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you just now."

The corners of Jiang Xuehe's mouth rose a little more, and he took the initiative to take Yan Guiqiu's hand, and the fingers were embedded in the gaps between the fingers one by one, and they were clasped together.

"You have better luck than me." Jiang Xuehe said, "You met someone with whom you can spend the rest of your life four years earlier than me."
