Chapter 128 Extra 9
The person who came to pick them up was a middle-aged man with very short hair, driving a black car. Lin Qingyu could see that this car was more refined and cleaner than most of the others on the street. Just as there are good and bad horses, so too there are good and bad cars.
Lin Qingyu saw a circular sign standing in front of the car. A circle is divided into three equal parts. Is there any deep meaning behind this?
Jiang Xing has always been casual with his driver, and there is no need for the driver to come down to open the car door. Normal people should stop pretending. He opened the back door and gestured to invite me in: "Come on, don't you want to sit here?"
Lin Qingyu bent down and sat on it. Jiang Xing then got in the car and greeted the driver: "Uncle Chen."
The driver grinned and said, "You must have waited a long time." Seeing Lin Qingyu in the rearview mirror, he asked in surprise, "A Xing, is this your classmate?"
The driver spoke Cantonese to Jiang Xing, but Jiang Xing answered him in Mandarin: "No."
If they are not classmates, the driver is assumed to be a friend. The driver also switched to Mandarin: "Why is your friend wearing ancient clothes? Is he a celebrity?"
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "No, we just came back from the Hanfu exhibition."
"Hanfu? Oh, I know. It's very popular among young people nowadays."
"Yeah." Jiang Xing responded nonchalantly, "Uncle Chen, could you please lower the temperature of the air conditioner? It's still quite hot after walking around outside."
The driver lowered the temperature by two degrees and complained, "This weather won't get colder until November."
Lin Qingyu listened to the conversation between Jiang Xing and the man and felt that the man should be someone like a groom. But Jiang Xing called him uncle, and his words seemed to be talking to someone of equal status.
Jiang Xing would be like this too when he was with Dayu. Xiao Songzi brought him tea and water, and occasionally received a "thank you" from the emperor, which made Xiao Songzi feel that his life was almost cut short. He cried bitterly and begged Jiang Xing to let him go. Only then did Jiang Xing restrain himself.
Lin Qingyu raised the corners of his lips silently.
Jiang Xing, who is gentle and polite to others, has another kind of cuteness that cannot be seen in Dayu.
With Jiang Xing by his side, Lin Qingyu finally felt like appreciating this strange world. He looked out the window and saw all kinds of shops on the roadside. He recognized every word on the shops, but he had no idea what they meant when they were put together. There are also tall buildings rising from the ground. They are so high, how do people get up to them?
The sky gradually darkened, and lights came on on every tall building, lighting up Lin Qingyu's eyes.
This is Jiang Xing’s hometown, colorful and splendid. There are air conditioners and mobile phones, girls working outside openly, cars that run faster than a thousand-mile horse, and sweet milk tea and egg tarts.
Jiang Xing grew up in such a world.
very nice.
The driver drove the car directly into the underground garage of the community. Before getting off the car, Jiang Xing said, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
"You're welcome. Your family pays me." The driver said with a smile, "Call me anytime if you need anything."
After the driver left, Lin Qingyu asked, "Is the person driving you a servant of your family?"
Jiang Xing choked up and said with fear: "Not bad."
"What's fine?"
"Luckily you didn't ask me this question in the car." Jiang Xing was digging his toes into the ground just imagining that scene, "Otherwise I would have been socially dead on the spot."
Lin Qingyu asked: "What does social death mean?"
"There are two kinds of human death: one is normal death, and the other is social death..."
Lin Qingyu is extremely intelligent and understands things quickly. He snorted coldly and said, "I'm not stupid, how could I ask you in front of the driver. However, your driver seems to speak differently from us."
"Oh, he has been living in a Cantonese-speaking area, so he must have an accent when speaking Mandarin."
"Then why don't you have this accent?" Lin Qingyu remembered something, "By the way, you returned to Guangzhou after high school. You told me about it when you were in Dayu."
Jiang Xing sighed, "Why did I tell you everything before? Am I a chatterbox in front of you? Others would say 'my father taught me in Hawaii'; but when you come to Guangzhou, you say 'my husband taught me in Dayu'?"
"There are still many things you haven't told me. For example, this building is so high that it reaches the sky. How do we get up there?"
"Thank you for acting like an ancient person and giving me the dignity of a modern person." Jiang Xing led Lin Qingyu to a strange door, "Let's take the elevator up."
Lin Qingyu said: "Elevator?"
No matter how talkative Jiang Xing is, he can't cover everything. For example, Jiang Xing never told him about the elevator.
Jiang Xing briefly introduced the principle of the elevator: "The elevator adopts traction drive, and the core of the drive mechanism lies in..."
Lin Qingyu interrupted him: "Anyway, if we sit on this, we can go up."
Jiang Xing snapped his fingers: "Excellent summary."
In addition to the door in front, there is another one not far away. Lin Qingyu asked: "Is the other one also an elevator?"
"Well, that one is the nanny elevator."
"nanny?"
Jiang Xing described the general job of a nanny. Lin Qingyu nodded: "I understand, nanny means servant."
Jiang Xing patiently explained: "Nannies are not servants. They have an equal employment relationship with us. So, when you get along with my aunt in the future, you can't treat her as a servant. Just treat her as an ordinary elder. Say thank you more often. The food she cooks will taste better."
Lin Qingyu was puzzled: "If we are equal, why don't we let the nanny and the owner take the same elevator?"
Jiang Xing was stumped by the question. In order to maintain his image of knowing everything in Lin Qingyu's mind, he could only come up with a universal answer: "What's the matter with sitting in separate elevators? I believe you are familiar with elevators, but what's the matter with sitting in separate elevators? Let me show you how to understand it. Sitting in separate elevators actually means that the nanny has to take the nanny elevator, and the master has to take the master elevator..."
Lin Qingyu raised his eyes and said, "That's enough, shut up."
After entering the elevator, Lin Qingyu watched the numbers gradually increase from -1 and finally stopped at 26. Lin Qingyu heard a "ding" sound and the elevator door opened. Jiang Xing started to change his shoes: "We're home." He helped Lin Qingyu take out a new pair of indoor slippers, "I'll go get some clothes, you can sit anywhere. Do you want to take a shower first?"
Lin Qingyu looked around curiously: "Yes."
Jiang woke up and went to the cloakroom, picked out a T-shirt and shorts that he had only worn once, took a new bath towel and went into the bathroom. Returning to the living room, he saw Lin Qingyu leaning over and touching his sofa, and his expression seemed a little wrong.
Jiang Xing asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingyu hesitated: "Nothing."
"Then shall I take you to the bathroom?"
Lin Qingyu said, "No rush." Jiang Xing's house should also have air conditioning, so he doesn't feel hot at all now. "Take me around your house first."
Jiang Xing was somewhat puzzled: "Okay."
Starting from the living room, Lin Qingyu followed Jiang Xing to visit the restaurant, dining and living room, L-shaped balcony, kitchen, master bedroom, elders' room, guest room, study, and even took a look at the nanny's room at the door.
"Auntie is traveling. I'm the only one living in this house for the entire vacation - well, now you're here too."
Lin Qingyu frowned: "Is your family really..."
Jiang Xing was very modest: "It's a little big for me to live alone, but I'll get used to it."
"Your house is really small. Is it small enough for you to live in? There is not even a garden or a pond. You have to leave home if you want to go fishing." Lin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xing with love and sympathy, "You are really suffering living here."
Jiang Xing was silent for a long time, then hesitantly asked, "Excuse me, what did you do before you married me?"
Lin Qingyu said: "He was originally the son of the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, then he became a medical officer of the Imperial Hospital, and finally he became the prime minister of a dynasty."
"Excuse me, it turns out to be the Prime Minister. Hahaha." Jiang Xing showed an awkward but polite smile, "Letting the second-in-command of a country live in my old and shabby house is really an injustice to the Prime Minister."
"You don't have to be like this. I'm your wife, so I won't despise you." Lin Qingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a pawnshop in Guangzhou?"
"Pawnshops? When I was a kid, I could occasionally see one or two. Now it should be hard to find." Jiang Xing said, "Why do you ask this, Prime Minister?"
"You can find a pawnshop and sell my gorgeous clothes. It will help you get some money."
Jiang Xing had a complicated expression: "Thank you."
"If it's not enough, there's also this jade pendant." When Lin Qingyu came here, he was wearing a piece of fine cold jade tribute from the Northern Territory around his waist. "If that's still not enough, we'll have to pawn our wedding rings as well."
"Wedding ring?"
"Yes, you designed it specially." Lin Qingyu took off the ring on her hand and showed it to Jiang Xing. Jiang Xing looked at it carefully inside and out, and it was indeed very similar to his style of painting.
Jiang Xing was at a loss: "What about my wedding ring?"
Lin Qingyu said: "It should still be on your Dayu's body."
Jiang Xing was unhappy: "How can you think of selling such an important thing as a wedding ring?"
"I don't want you to live in poverty." Lin Qingyu has never attached much importance to material possessions. The reason why this ring is so meaningful is because it was given to him by Jiang Xing. To him, Jiang Xing is more important than anything else. "We still have a pair of wedding rings, which you gave me when we got married for the second time. If you feel it's a pity, you can give me another pair some other day."
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Jiang Xing took Lin Qingyu to the bathroom in his room. Apart from the lost memories, he and Lin Qingyu had only been together for a few hours, but he could already see Lin Qingyu's understanding of modern things from his expression. For example, Lin Qingyu's slightly inquiring look now definitely means he doesn't know how to use the things in the bathroom.
"This is hot water, and this is cold water." Jiang Xing demonstrated to Lin Qingyu how to adjust the water temperature. "Then apply this on your body, and the stuff in the blue bottle is for washing your hair. I've put your clothes away for you. I'm going out now. Call me anytime if you have any questions."
Lin Qingyu asked: "Do you want to go out again?"
Jiang Xing's breath was choked, but he quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile, "If I don't go out, am I going to stay here to watch you?"
Although Lin Qingyu wanted Jiang Xing to recover all his memories as soon as possible, he didn't want to push him too hard. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. He nodded and said, "Then you can go out."
Jiang Xing walked out of the bathroom, closed the door, and suddenly felt that he had missed out on 100 million.
Everything that happened today was too fantastic. If it were in the past, Jiang Xing would have only regarded it as a low-end scam. But he couldn't explain the feeling Lin Qingyu gave him, nor could he explain the images that flashed through his mind. Unfortunately, the pictures are just pictures and cannot constitute a plot. He had to remember what happened in Dayu as soon as possible, he didn't want to disappoint Lin Qingyu.
Jiang Xing stood in front of the French window and thought for nearly half an hour, but couldn't think of any useful information.
"Jiang wakes up."
Jiang Xing turned around and saw a beautiful woman emerging from the bath. Jiang Xing quickly looked away, took a sip of ice cola, and then moved his gaze back to Lin Qingyu.
He took out a pure white T-shirt for Lin Qingyu. The fabric was pure cotton and easily penetrated by water. At this time, it was half wet by Lin Qingyu's wet long hair.
Lin Qingyu's porcelain-white skin had no flaws under the chandelier in the living room - except for the original teardrop mole. His eyelashes were also wet, the tip of his nose was a little red, and his lips were a bright color from the steam. He didn't know whether he would kill the man or not, but he was about to be killed anyway.
When Jiang Xing saw Lin Qingyu wearing fancy clothes, he only thought he was dignified and elegant, and felt lonely at the top; when he put on modern clothes, he realized that Lin Qingyu's legs were so long and straight. He was about six to seven centimeters taller than Lin Qingyu, and his T-shirt was obviously too big for Lin Qingyu. The collar was originally an ordinary one, but Lin Qingyu wore it to have a dropped shoulder effect.
Lin Qingyu is a little thin, and you can even raise fish in his collarbone. With waist-length hair, she looks a little like a girl when viewed from behind or from the side. There are very few boys who look so delicate, but Lin Qingyu does not look feminine. If he cuts his hair short, no one would mistake his gender.
Jiang Xing handed over the things in his hand to divert attention, and said with a smile: "Did you wash it? Come, try this, I'll get you a hair dryer."
"Is the hair dryer for drying hair? No, I'll just dry it." Lin Qingyu looked at the bottle of black water and asked, "What is this?"
"Coke, a kind of water that makes people happy, is best drunk after taking a bath in the summer."
"But isn't it October now?"
Jiang Xing shrugged: "There's no difference between October and midsummer here."
Lin Qingyu took the Coke, bent down to smell it, then took a small sip, and his expression froze.
Jiang Xing asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
"It's a little sweet, and a little indescribably stimulating. I don't really like it." Lin Qingyu raised his head, "Jiang Xing, I want to drink milk tea."
Jiang Xing said, "Stop. You've already had one drink and eaten so many desserts. If you drink more, you won't be able to sleep at night."
Lin Qingyu was not very happy. Jiang Xing had always responded to his requests, but now that he was in his territory, he dared to refuse him. He asked Jiang Xing: "Is milk tea expensive? Can't you afford to buy too much?"
Jiang Xing laughed, "It's expensive, but I can afford it. Don't be angry, we'll drink it tomorrow." Jiang Xing's tone unconsciously carried a coaxing tone, "I just randomly found that one today. To be honest, the taste is average. Tomorrow I'll buy you a milk tea that's a hundred times better."
Lin Qingyu doubted: "Is it really a hundred times?"
Jiang Xing assured him: "It's really a hundred times."
Lin Qingyu reluctantly accepted this plan and temporarily let go of his obsession with milk tea. He pointed to the irregular cylindrical building that was glowing outside the French window and was very close to them and asked, "What is that?"
Jiang Xing said: "The Guangzhou Tower is also called the Little Slender Waist because it looks like a human waist." The Little Slender Waist is a landmark building in Guangzhou and one of the must-see tourist attractions. He could see it as soon as he opened the curtains, and he was already numb from seeing it. "If you like, I'll take you up there tomorrow night. But it's a holiday now, so there will definitely be a lot of people there."
Lin Qingyu asked: "Who designed and built the Little Waist?"
Jiang Xing said, "You should know if you check it online. Why are you asking this?"
"I want to meet him, maybe I can get something out of him." Lin Qingyu seemed to be thinking about something. "Dayu's Minister of Works recently requested to be in mourning, and he urgently needs someone to succeed him. Since this person can design the small waist, he must be a talented person. If I can get his guidance..."
Jiang Xing almost spit out a mouthful of Coke. He suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Don't make a decision too quickly. Next time I'll take you to Beijing or Shanghai. Maybe you'll find a better candidate for the 'Minister of Industry'. Oh, do you want to read the financial news and choose the Minister of Revenue?"
Lin Qingyu asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Xing said seriously: "I'm not laughing."
Lin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xing as if he was looking at a fool: "You are clearly trying not to laugh."
Jiang Xing: “…” He thought he had excellent acting skills, how did Lin Qingyu see that?
Lin Qingyu once again saw through Jiang Xing's thoughts: "We have been in love for more than four years. I know what you are thinking just by looking at your expression."
"We've been together for more than four years?" Jiang Xing grasped the key point, "So, we've been dating for more than four years?"
"Yeah. Our four-year anniversary just passed a while ago."
After being together for so long, they can be considered an old married couple. Four years is a lot of time to do a lot of things.
Jiang Xing couldn't help but look at Lin Qingyu's lips and asked, "Qingyu, have I... kissed you?"
Lin Qingyu said calmly: "This is not nonsense. You kiss every day."
Jiang Xing: “…”
My wife is so beautiful, it would be abnormal not to kiss her every day.
"Then have we ever," Jiang Xing cleared his throat and tried to speak in a casual tone, "Have we ever had sex..."
Lin Qingyu raised her eyes to look at him: "Husband wants to ask, have we ever slept together?"
When they were in Dayu, if there were other people around, Lin Qingyu would call Jiang Xing "Your Majesty"; if they were alone, he would usually call Jiang Xing by his name. The number of times he called me hubby was few and far between. But now he suddenly realized that when Jiang Xing called him "baby" at first, he was not used to it and even felt it was a bit pretentious. Later, as Jiang Xing called him more often, he had an illusion - he was supposed to be Jiang Xing's baby.
From this we can infer that if you want to turn someone into your husband, you should call him husband every day.
Jiang Xing felt so numbed all over by the word "husband". He steadied his breath, looked away, and said "hmm" in a calm manner.
Lin Qingyu smiled: "What do you think?"
Jiang Xing's body temperature kept rising uncontrollably. He lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Don't smile at me like that."
Lin Qingyu looked at him: "Why."
Jiang Xing was silent for a while, then his hand holding the iced cola suddenly tightened, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
