"How could you..."
Xu Xin frowned, wanting to ask Qin Huai why he was in her house.
But before she could even speak, Qin Huai had already come over, taken the bag from her hand, and said with a smile, "You just said you were coming, why did you bring a gift? You're too kind, come on in and have a seat."
Xu Xin had a moment of lapse in judgment.
Qin Huai had already pulled her into the house, then glanced at the bag: "Oh, it's durian. I was wondering what flavor it was. It must be quite expensive, right? You really went to a lot of trouble."
As he spoke, Qin Huai put the bag on the table, went to the water dispenser to get a disposable cup, poured Xu Xin a glass of water, and walked over with a smile: "There aren't many drinks at home, have some water."
Xu Xin held the disposable water cup, her mind filled with questions.
To usurp someone else's place? To turn the tables? To reverse the natural order?
At this moment, Xu Jing came out of the kitchen and introduced, "Sister, his name is Qin Huai, he is..."
“No need for introductions, I know him,” Xu Xin said.
"Hey? How did you two meet?" Xu Jing asked curiously.
"One sunny afternoon, we met by chance and found we hit it off immediately. We started having a deep conversation and talked about it until the sun and moon were out."
Qin Huai looked at Xu Xin and smiled, "Because we were so engrossed, we didn't realize how quickly time flies. Before we knew it, the sun was setting. We've decided to postpone it until another day, since there's plenty of time, right?"
Xu Xin knew exactly what Qin Huai was talking about.
But unable to refute it, he could only grunt in agreement.
Xu Jing became curious: "What are you talking about? You seem so engrossed."
Qin Huai said seriously, "We're talking about an army of hundreds of millions attacking a city."
Xu Xin's eyes twitched, and her toes clenched secretly.
Xu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "History?"
"Yes, that's right." Qin Huai nodded with a smile.
"I was worried that it would be awkward for you two to meet for the first time, but I didn't expect you to get along so well."
Without thinking twice, Xu Jing said to Xu Xin, "Sister, come and help me cut the meat."
"Oh...it's here."
Xu Xin responded, gave Qin Huai a deep look, put down her water glass, and went to the kitchen.
Qin Huai turned on the TV and started randomly pressing buttons on the remote.
Televisions have become purely decorative items.
No matter what you want to watch, you need a membership.
And don't think that buying a membership will make you worry-free.
There are also Silver Membership, Gold Membership, Platinum Membership, Diamond Membership, Black Diamond, Colored Diamond, SVIP... waiting for you.
Even listening to music is the same.
One pit after another, each one different.
After cutting the meat, Xu Xin washed her hands and returned to the living room, where she sat down next to Qin Huai.
"Don't say anything out of line in front of Xiaojing!" Xu Xin whispered.
Qin Huai reached out to put his arm around Xu Xin's waist, but she grabbed it and glared at him, giving him a silent warning.
"You won't let me hug you?" Qin Huai grinned like a scoundrel.
Xu Xin glanced at the kitchen and said, "This is my house, so behave yourself."
"I'm very well-behaved. I only hugged him; I didn't touch him inappropriately."
"Pooh!"
Xu Xin said disdainfully, "Men are all the same, I don't believe you for a second."
Qin Huai pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "You don't trust me? Are you going to turn your back on me after you've done your thing? You were so crazy yesterday..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Xin was startled and quickly reached out to cover Qin Huai's mouth: "If Xiao Jing hears this, I won't let you off the hook!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, rubbed his palm vigorously on Qin Huai's pants, and looked disgusted.
That bastard is disgusting, he actually licked my palm!
Qin Huai chuckled and took the opportunity to reach out and put his arm around Xu Xin's waist.
Xu Xin tried to struggle, but Xu Jing peeked out from the kitchen, which frightened her so much that she froze and dared not move.
"Brother Qin Huai, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Xu Jing asked.
From her perspective, there was nothing unusual about the two of them.
"There are no dietary restrictions, just do what you think is best."
"good."
Xu Jing shrank back.
Xu Xin gritted her teeth and looked at Qin Huai: "You..."
"Shhh."
Qin Huai placed his index finger on Xu Xin's rosy lips and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound, what if your sister hears you?"
Xu Xin was so angry that she opened her mouth and bit him.
Qin Huai quickly withdrew his finger, still sporting a roguish smile.
Helpless, Xu Xin simply stopped struggling and let Qin Huai hold her.
A period fantasy drama was playing on TV.
It's actually just a melodramatic soap opera disguised as a fantasy story.
What about nine lifetimes, endless entanglement, and love to the point of life and death?
The female lead is quite remarkable; she cries three times in every episode, and her tears never seem to dry.
The male lead is also amazing; he spits blood four times in each episode, making him look like a walking blood bank.
Xu Xin appeared to be watching TV intently, but her eyes were actually somewhat unfocused, and her attention was not on the TV at all.
My younger sister was making dinner in the kitchen. The spatula clashed against the wok, and the ingredients sizzled as they were fried in hot oil. The aroma of the dishes mingled with the smell of cooking oil and fumes wafted out.
A man was holding her close, and she could clearly feel the warmth of his hand. Without turning her head, she could smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.
The lights were on, and the TV was on.
Everything was so ordinary, so peaceful, and so heartwarming.
This feels like home.
It's so ordinary, yet it's so captivating.
Xu Xin's slightly stiff body gradually softened, and she snuggled closer to Qin Huai, finding a comfortable position.
She suddenly felt very tired.
After joining Zhige, they braved gunfire and struggled through iron and blood, becoming accustomed to life and death.
