Episode 458: Complementarity
Gui Qing pretended not to notice his emotion and chuckled, "Such a weird habit, it's hard to forget it."
The first time she ate at Jiang Yuxu's house, he made kelp udon noodles. Her chopstick skills were average to begin with, and it was too difficult for her to pick up the udon noodles with iron chopsticks, so she asked to change to a pair of bamboo chopsticks, but Jiang Yuxu said he didn't have any at home.
She thought it was outrageous and asked again, “There must be disposable chopsticks, right? They are always given when you order takeout.”
He said he never orders takeout.
Gui Qing was at a loss for words and asked him why all the chopsticks were made of stainless steel, saying they were so inconvenient to use.
He explained seriously that stainless steel chopsticks are not prone to mold growth, are safe, clean, and are disinfected thoroughly.
Gui Qing remembered this strange habit at that time. Thanks to him, her chopstick skills improved a lot after being tempered with stainless steel chopsticks.
When Jiang Yuxu heard Gui Qing use the word "weird" to describe her habit, he frowned and asked, "Is this habit very niche?"
Gui Qing: "It's not a niche thing, but no one else would ask the waiter to change to stainless steel chopsticks when going to a restaurant like you do."
Jiang Yuxu: "Disposable tableware is unhygienic."
Gui Qing: "It's just hypocritical, it won't kill anyone."
Jiang Yuxu: "Some businesses use very cheap disposable tableware to save costs, and the raw materials are... uh uh."
"Enough, enough." Gui Qing couldn't stand it any longer, and while he was talking, she quickly stuffed a barbecued pork bun into his mouth, blocking it tightly.
It's so annoying.
After Jiang Yuxu's mouth was blocked, he looked at Gui Qing's impatient expression and knew that she was too lazy to listen to it, so he stopped talking tactfully.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up the barbecued pork bun next to his mouth and took a bite.
The taste was okay, but a bit too salty for him.
Jiang Yuxu drank two sips of tea and finished a barbecued pork bun.
Gui Qing glanced at him sideways: "You're not going to teach me anymore?"
Jiang Yuxu: "That's not what I meant. If you don't like it, I will say less in the future."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a troublemaker?" Gui Qing asked curiously.
Jiang Yuxu nodded and admitted it very frankly: "Many people say so."
Gui Qing: "The eyes of the masses are sharp."
She was curious about how he developed this habit. His parents didn't seem to be very particular about it, so why was he so obsessed with mysophobia?
"Have you been like this since childhood?"
Jiang Yuxu: "It should be."
Gui Qing: "Then your aunt is really hard-working."
Jiang Yuxu: "I have been washing my own clothes since elementary school."
Gui Qing raised an eyebrow. She had never heard of this before.
Jiang Yuxu: "This is my parents' educational philosophy."
"Maybe I developed this habit since I was a kid. Now I'm not used to other people touching my things. Living alone, my mysophobia is getting worse. Do you dislike me being like this? I can try to change."
"No." Gui Qing waved her hand, "You don't have to change it."
Jiang Yuxu: "Are you sure?"
Gui Qing: "Of course I'm sure. You're a mysophobe and you clean up after yourself. You don't make things difficult for me. I'm not affected by it. Why should I ask you to change?"
"Besides, I'm a lazy person, so we can complement each other." She spread her hands.
complementary.
Jiang Yuxu pondered the word carefully, a hint of joy flashing through his eyes behind his glasses. "What you mean is that you have considered our life after marriage."
Gui Qing was eating shrimp dumplings and almost choked by his words.
She took a sip of herbal tea to smooth it out, "Excuse me, how did you manage to have such a rich imagination?"
Jiang Yuxu: "When you say complementary, this is what you mean, right?"
He said seriously, "If we get married, I'll be able to handle all the housework and other things."
Gui Qing: "Aren't you afraid of being exhausted to death?"
Jiang Yuxu: "So I only live on the first floor."
Gui Qing frowned: "Don't tell me that your family has never looked for Auntie."
Although his flat is not as big as a villa, it is still over 150 square meters and every corner is spotless. He actually cleans it himself?
Jiang Yuxu: "I've looked for it a few times, but I'm not used to it."
He said, "Housekeeping doesn't meet my requirements, and I don't like strangers coming into my house. My parents haven't been to my apartment many times."
Gui Qing sighed, "It's really an honor for me that Lawyer Jiang allowed me to stay there before."
Jiang Yuxu: "I should have realized that I liked you at that time, but it was too late for me to realize it."
Gui Qing: "You're not slow to realize it, you just can't accept that you, a pure and innocent person, have fallen in love with me, the Queen of the Sea, who has a chaotic private life."
Jiang Yuxu coughed at her pointed remarks and said, "Sorry."
Gui Qing: "There's nothing to be sorry about. My style doesn't meet most people's standards for a good woman."
She said this very calmly with a smile on her face. He could tell that she was not trying to show off, but really didn't care.
In this regard, there is a big difference between the two of them.
Jiang Yuxu believes that his psychological quality and ability to withstand pressure are acceptable, and other people's comments will not affect his decisions, but he himself cares a lot about his external image - it's just that he has had good habits in all aspects since he was a child, so he doesn't need to spend time and effort to maintain his image.
"So, I'm quite surprised by your parents' attitude towards me." Gui Qing put down her chopsticks, thinking of what happened yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought they wouldn't like me."
Jiang Yuxu: "Well, I was a little worried at first."
Gui Qing rolled her eyes fiercely: "..."
Jiang Yuxu: "What's wrong?"
Gui Qing: "Brother, normally you should comfort me at this time and promise to leave this matter to you."
Instead of saying here that he was a little worried too.
Jiang Yuxu: "Now that the problem has been solved, my parents admire you very much. Do you still need comfort?"
The communication failed. Gui Qing picked up the chopsticks and ate the red rice sausage. She regretted having this conversation with him very much.
However, Gui Qing was not angry, she was just speechless. Jiang Yuxu had changed a lot now, and she didn't expect him to keep saying coaxing words every day. She had dated such smooth-talking men before, but she got tired of them after a while.
"Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Yuxu asked cautiously when he saw Gui Qing ignoring him.
However, Gui Qing did not respond to this question.
Jiang Yuxu became even more panicked: "Are you angry?"
As he said this, he turned around and hugged her shoulders with his left hand.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Gui Qing was eating and was disturbed by him. She raised her hand and hit his shoulder out of habit.
As luck would have it, the punch hit the side of his broken bone.
Jiang Yuxu took a deep breath, his expression suddenly became painful, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Gui Qing was in good physical condition and quite strong. She used 70% to 80% of her strength in this punch. Seeing the cold sweat on Jiang Yuxu's forehead, she realized that he was still injured.
Gui Qing quickly put down her chopsticks and asked him, "Did I hit your wound? How do you feel now? Do you need a nurse to check?"
