Where is the moral integrity?
The restaurant's sign lights flickered in the night, illuminating the road ahead.
Jiang Qing watched the two figures, one tall and one short, walk away. She put one hand in her pocket and asked, "Does Song Shuang still remember that time?"
The little girl was playing happily with her brother at the door of her house when she was suddenly taken away by force. In the blink of an eye, everything became so unfamiliar. The little girl must have been very scared at the time.
Lin Nanyan was silent for a moment before saying, "She said she doesn't remember."
Jiang Qing whispered to herself, "It's best if she really doesn't remember."
She shrugged, and under the gaze of the starry sky, she walked in the moonlight, "Let's go home."
Lin Nanyan followed behind her, looking at the distant horizon. The car roof came into view first, followed by the body of the car and the wheels, in an endless stream.
Amid the surging crowd, he took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Qing's schoolbag, and found it heavy in his hand.
"This one, it's about height."
Jiang Qing looked back at him once, and then again, and couldn't help but retort, "Be careful with your shoulders when carrying a single-shoulder bag."
"That's perfect, one on each shoulder." The boy carried a black one on his left shoulder and a pink one on his right shoulder. Combined with his cold face and cold words, it was inexplicably funny.
She managed to hold back her laughter and said seriously, "My schoolbag is very heavy."
It was filled with various tutoring books that she used and didn't need. Every time she put one down, she couldn't help but think, "What if I need it?" She kept taking more and more books, and finally her bag became as heavy as a brick.
Lin Nanyan glanced at her: "You are weak."
Hearing this, Jiang Qing turned around and left. "If you are strong, then I will carry you on my back. I can't bend you."
She skipped along the way. Occasionally, when she saw the edge of a very narrow flower bed on the side of the road, Jiang Qing would jump up, stretch out her arms, and sway left and right like walking on a balance beam, shaky but just enough to avoid falling.
On the black floor tiles, a slender shadow and a tall shadow with a slightly outstretched hand sometimes intertwined and sometimes overlapped.
Jiang Qing was humming a song, and the birds were flying happily in the night.
"I'm very happy."
She turned around, faced Lin Nanyue with her hands behind her back, and walked backwards, as happy as a nimble deer.
"I have the illusion that my life has gotten a little better." She closed one eye and pinched a little distance with her fingertips.
"Even though nothing has changed, I don't know why," she said, her eye bags arching upward in a lively arc, "I'm still very happy."
Lin Nanyan looked at Jiang Qing and couldn't help but be infected by her smile, "Everything is getting better."
"Yes," Jiang Qing nodded, her voice as if brewing honey, "get better, ah——"
The girl's sweet voice suddenly turned into a terrifying scream, startling a bird.
"careful!"
Lin Nanyue took a big step forward, grabbed the girl's arm in time and pulled her back.
Jiang Qing stumbled and was pulled, and before she could come to her senses, she threw herself into the boy's arms with her heart beating suddenly out of beat.
The refreshing mint smell now felt like catnip, making one feel dizzy. Even with a thin layer of clothing between them, the scorching heat could not be blocked, and it was extremely hot to touch.
Lin Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief without noticing. Fortunately, he had been on guard the entire time and received the person in time.
"How are you?" He looked at the girl in his arms.
Feeling the blankness in her mind, Jiang Qing looked up in a daze. From this angle, Lin Nanyan's jaw line seemed to reveal his handsomeness.
The girl didn't answer, staring at him blankly. Lin Nanyan panicked instantly, "Jiang Jiang, you——"
Before he could finish his words, his expression froze, his body as stiff as a salted fish that had been frozen for three hundred years. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Qing used one hand to pinch everywhere curiously. The thin muscles of boys would be slightly thicker in the chest area. The muscles under her hands were very warm and smooth to the touch. They were very elastic and easy to pinch.
Hearing the question, she looked up at the boy innocently, and said with a strong sense of justice, "I'm just curious, what's wrong? Is it not allowed?"
Lin Nanyan felt the girl's claws moving around restlessly in his arms, and his chest felt painful as the girl's fingers moved around without knowing how to control them. The pain was mixed with a hint of itchiness, which was more torturous than simple pain.
"Let go!" He gritted his teeth, and his ears unconsciously turned red.
Jiang Qing blinked and withdrew her hand regretfully, "Okay."
The retracted fingertips accidentally brushed past Lin Nanyan's sensitive spot, causing him to shudder. He was caught off guard by the sudden attack and almost couldn't control his expression.
Suddenly realizing something, Lin Nanyan's face suddenly turned ugly.
"There are differences between men and women. How can you touch others just because of curiosity?"
Jiang Qing skillfully accused the other party, "You were the one who pulled me first."
"That's because you're going to fall."
Jiang Qing: "Pull mine first."
"You can't touch others casually, especially boys."
Jiang Qing: "Pull mine first."
Lin Nanyan's blood pressure was so high from being irritated by this Jiang-brand repeater, "Are you listening or not..."
"Besides, I didn't touch anyone else," Jiang Qing muttered softly, curling her lips in disgust, "I wouldn't even want to touch anyone else."
Looking at the girl's inexplicably proud expression, Lin Nanyan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat and regained his composure, "Jiang Jiang, you're a high school student now."
Jiang Qing's reflexive response: "Actually, I'm already an adult..."
She disappeared before she could finish her words. She suddenly realized belatedly that the boy in front of her, the childhood sweetheart she grew up with and then separated from, seemed, seemed, might, to be underage now?
!!!
It's going to kill her!
She just molested a minor?!
Where is her integrity? Where is her morality? Where is her bottom line?
Come on, get a policeman and arrest her. She has fallen, Jiang Qing thought desperately.
The girl's face kept changing colors, and finally settled on a look of melancholy.
Lin Nanyan asked: "Why don't you say anything?"
Jiang Qing's face was filled with regret. "I want to be alone."
She raised her hand to stop the boy from approaching, "Don't follow me, stay away from me."
A series of unexpected turns made Lin Nanyan confused. He looked at the girl's wandering back and thought about the previous conversation, and he was lost in thought.
“Our bodies are peers.”
"Moreover, the law only regulates people's physical behavior, not their psychology."
Jiang Qing turned around, "Really?"
Lin Nanyue nodded, and Jiang Qing felt relieved. Very good, she said she was not a pervert.
She is a high school student now. How could it be considered as molestation? It was clearly a friendly touch to express concern.
Seeing the girl regain her energy, Lin Nanyue stretched out his long legs and quietly closed the distance between them.
It was already late when they got home.
Lin Nanyan sent Jiang Qing to the door of her house, put down her schoolbag, and was about to leave when Jiang Qing called him.
He stood at the door and waited for a while, then saw the girl running out and stuffing something into his arms.
He lowered his head and saw a square plastic box, cold to the touch and soaked in a chilling chill.
"Didn't I promise you before? My dad made these dumplings specially for you." Jiang Qing raised her chin and waved her hand, "You're in luck. Take them, take them."
Lin Nanyan: "Thank Uncle Jiang for me."
"Why don't you thank me?" Jiang Qing glanced at him, deliberately arguing, "If it weren't for me, would you be able to eat my dad's handmade dumplings?"
"It's my fault," Lin Nanyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Jiang Jiang, thank you."
"You're welcome," Jiang Qing's eyes drifted left and right. "No, why are you so obedient all of a sudden? It makes me panic now. What should I do?"
"Okay, okay, good night." Without waiting for the boy's reply, she slammed the door.
"Good night." Lin Nanyan said softly as he faced the door that suddenly closed in front of him and almost hit his nose.
Jiang Qing leaned against the inside of the door and touched her face with the back of her hand. It was indeed very hot.
It's over, she really is a masochist. When Lin Nanyan suddenly became normal, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was pricked by needles, and everything was wrong.
"Why aren't you going in yet?" Just as I was feeling sad, a faint voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Ah—" Jiang Qing was startled. She looked towards the source of the sound and patted her chest. "I'm so scared. Dad, why are you here?"
Jiang Shanhai, who watched the whole thing while sitting on the sofa: "......"
"I've always been here."
From the moment his daughter rushed in, quickly and purposefully rummaged through the refrigerator, and then ran out to deliver the dumplings, he had been sitting on the sofa in the living room, and his daughter didn't even glance at him.
"I already told you I'm home late. Don't wait for me next time." Jiang Qing sat down on the sofa, picked up the cut fruit on the plate, and handed it to Jiang Shanhai. "Even if you and mom take turns waiting, you still have to get up early together tomorrow. It's better for you to go to bed early and conserve your energy."
"Besides, I'm fine."
Jiang Shanhai took a bite of cantaloupe, and the sweetness filled his mouth. He smiled and said, "I was checking tomorrow's orders and wasn't waiting for you."
"Okay," Jiang Qing glanced at the papers on the table, "Then you check carefully. I'll go back to my room to do my homework."
"Jiang Jiang, have some fruit. Bring the fruit plate in." Jiang Shanhai shouted at her.
"I'm not eating anymore. I ate a lot outside. Dad, you should eat more. Cut fruits will breed bacteria tomorrow."
"Okay, I remember. Then go to bed early and don't stay up late!"
"I know."
Jiang Qing waved her hand without turning her head, raised her foot and slammed the bedroom door.
Jiang Shanhai shook his head. He sat down and picked up a piece of fruit with a fork. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he saw a large piece of white on the paper out of the corner of his eye. He paused as he was about to bite it, and instead crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then he stood up and went back to the house with the fruit plate.
The lights in the room gradually went out, and finally only a desk lamp was left, lighting up the night with the starlight until the early morning.
Jiang Qing covered her mouth and wiped away the tears caused by sleepiness. She closed the wrong answer book in her hand, walked with her eyes closed the whole time, yawned and went to the living room to wash up, and finally fell headfirst on the bed, unable to move.
Everything was quiet, and sleepiness quietly entered everyone's dreamland.
Until the alarm clock suddenly rang the next day, people in every corner of the city suddenly jumped up as if wound up, and bustled around mechanically and regularly.
On the other side, Jiang Qing was wandering around the school, trying to find some other clues related to the time travel, when she unexpectedly met senior Jiang Qing again.
Only this time, there was a strange boy standing next to her.
The boy seemed to be talking about something intensely. Jiang Qing lowered her eyelashes and looked submissive, looking like she was easy to bully.
Jiang Qing's fury instantly exploded. Like lightning, she sprinted between the two men, braked, and kicked up a cloud of dust. She looked at the strange boy, her hands on her hips, her chest puffed out, her chin raised, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
The boy was startled by the sudden noise. He came to his senses and looked at Jiang Qing, but ignored her. His eyes fell directly on Jiang Qing, who was standing behind her and also looked surprised.
"I'll come see you later."
After saying something incomprehensible, the boy turned and left.
"Hey, wait a minute, what do you mean by come find Senior Jiang Qing later? Did you bully me? Let me tell you, our senior is not someone you can easily mess with." Jiang Qing was indignant. Who was this person who actually ignored her? What a rude guy.
She turned around and wanted to chase after him, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
