night falls

Chapter 89 Hearing the sound at night 88
Back at the apartment, it was almost noon.Since we were only staying here for two days, there was nothing to pack. As soon as he put his luggage in the room, Jiang Gai asked him, "What are you going to eat?"

He poured a glass of warm water, took a sip, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Jiang Gai frowned, walked up to him in slippers, raised her head and squinted at him: "Do you know how many couples quarrel every day over what to eat?"

Wen Shiqing swallowed the water, raised his eyebrows and gave her a "so?" look.

Jiang Gai shook his shoulders and opened his eyes: "So when I asked you what to eat just now, shouldn't you have been prepared to tell me what we were going to eat?"

Wen Shiqing was slightly startled, and somehow felt that what she said made sense. He thought about it for a while and said, "Buying vegetables and cooking?"

"Are you doing it?" She asked casually, holding on to the table and winking at him playfully.

The man raised his hand, stretched out his fingers to scratch his eyebrows, and pondered for a long time: "Okay."

Ginger mustard:（；゜[-]゜）

……

Then, without further ado, Wen Shiqing took the car keys and led her out to buy groceries.

More than an hour later, the two returned home again after shopping.

Wen Shiqing went back to the room and changed into casual clothes, then entered the kitchen.

Jiang Jie was like a little kitten, following him around, peeking her head in from time to time and asking him, "Do you want my help?"

"No need." He replied quickly, with a strong tone, "I'll just watch from the side."

Jiang Ji Xingyan: What a domineering yet gentle house-husband!

Looking at his skillful knife skills when chopping vegetables, Jiang Jie couldn't help being curious: "Do you often cook when you are studying?"

Wen Shiqing didn't stop moving his hands, "Yeah" said: "When I was in graduate school, I rented with my classmates outside, and I would do it occasionally."

"Also in the capital?"

"Ah."

Jiang Gai leaned against the counter, thinking silently for a while, and then said as if to himself: "It would be great if we had known each other by then."

Hearing this, Wen Shiqing paused, looked sideways, eyebrows moved, and looked at her condescendingly: "You are underage and you want to fall in love?"

Jiang Gai choked and glared at him angrily: "...Can't we get to know each other first?"

Wen Shiqing smiled and said nothing, turned around and continued working.

After a while, Jiang Gai thought of something else and reached out to poke him: "Hey Wen Shiqing... did you have any love history when you were studying? For example, you had a crush on the school beauty."

Wen Shiqing paused and answered the question: "When it comes to love history, your uncle should be richer than me."

Jiang Gai's attention was immediately diverted, and her eyes sparkled: "Really! Really? What love history? How many girlfriends have you had? Isn't Aunt Zizi his first love?"

A series of questions were like a series of cannonballs, hitting Wen Shiqing's ears one after another. The latter stopped what he was doing again, turned around to face her, and smiled a little angrily: "It seems that you are not interested in other people." Are you more interested in men’s things?”

Jiang Gai was stunned, blinked at him, and smiled: "Do you want to be jealous of my uncle?"

Wen Shiqing was expressionless.

Jiang Jie pursed her lips: "Then you won't tell me what I asked you. If you have to talk about my uncle, what else can I say?"

Wen Shiqing: "..."

Jiang Gai came closer to him, tilted her head and smiled cutely: "So...did you have a crush on the school beauty when you were in high school?"

Wen Shiqing reached out to cover her face and said calmly, "No."

Jiang Gai was slightly surprised: "Were you so innocent in high school?"

When Wen Shiqing heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened, and there was even a hint of gloom in his voice: "You have one?"

Jiang Jie hurriedly shook her head and denied it: "Me neither, I don't even like those boys in high school! They are not as handsome or attractive as you!"

She smiled flatteringly to please him.

Hearing this was very helpful. Wen Shiqing had a smile in his eyes and said "hmm" with satisfaction.

"How many girls confessed their love to you in high school?" Jiang Gai continued to ask.

He didn't even think about it: "I'm not impressed."

"No one likes you?"

He still said: "No."

"why?"

Wen Shiqing paused and frowned slightly, but without any impatience, he smiled lightly: "Why didn't I realize before that you have so many?"

Jiang Ke persisted and answered him: "Yes, yes, I have a hundred thousand whys, so please answer me why quickly?"

The man was silent for a long time, then raised his hand to touch her soft lips. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, there was unconcealable tenderness and sweetness in his eyes——

"They are not as good as you."

……

He lowered his voice very low, his tone was gentle and affectionate, and every word made Jiang Jie's eardrums buzz.

She pursed her lips, smiled shyly, put her arms around his neck with a blushing face, jumped up on her feet, and hung directly on him. She rubbed her furry head in the crook of his neck again and again, with a hint of bravery in her shyness. His tone was: "Ah, ah, Wen Shiqing, knock me down quickly!"

The man supported her with both hands, curved his lips and smiled, then raised his head and kissed her, his voice was hoarse and unbelievable——

"it is good."

……

After two sweet days, Jiang Gai reluctantly returned to the capital.

From then on, it was another long long-distance relationship.

Throughout July, apart from practicing the piano and singing, and occasionally going shopping and eating with Jiao Yan, Jiang Gai spent most of her time immersed in longing for Wen Shiqing.

Of course, persuading Comrade Lao Jiang is also an essential task every day.

August, midsummer.The temperature was so high that even the wind blowing over it carried hot air, making it almost suffocating.

Wen Shiqing applied for the annual leave this month, so he planned to come to the capital to formally meet Jiang Jie's parents.

After Fang Xin learned about it, she was extremely happy and couldn't wait to clean up the guest room.As for Jiang Jicheng...

When Jiang Ai mentioned this to him for the first time, Comrade Lao Jiang happened to have a business call and went straight back to his room after answering the call.So the notification failed.

When Jiang Gai mentioned it for the second time, she met Comrade Lao Jiang who was about to go out to the company. She walked up to Jiang Jicheng with a skipping pace and said with a smile: "Dad...when will you be free? Shi Qing, these two Tianhui will come to the capital and want to meet you."

Jiang Jicheng put on his shoes, stared blankly, and pretended to think for a moment: "That's unfortunate, I don't have much time these two days."

Jiang Jie: "..."

Two days later, Comrade Lao Jiang came back from get off work in the evening. Jiang Jie came up to him with a smile again: "Dad...you..."

Before he finished speaking, Comrade Jiang Jicheng suddenly frowned and said "Ouch": "Jiezi, dad is a little tired and has a headache. Go up and lie down for a while. I'll tell you what happened next time!"

After saying that, he stepped on his slippers and went upstairs.

Jiang Jie: "..."

For the next three days, Comrade Jiang Jicheng would leave early and return late. Every day he would go out before Jiang Jie got up, and at night he would wait until the lights in Jiang Jie's room were turned off before entering the house.

In short, hide if you can!
……

It was very late that night.When Jiang Jicheng returned home, except for a street lamp left in the entrance, the living room and kitchen were dark and quiet.

Comrade Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and changed his shoes.

As soon as he stepped on the stairs, the lights in the living room behind him suddenly turned on, and the whole room was suddenly bright.

Jiang Jicheng's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head subconsciously.

Jiang Gai was standing next to the sofa in her nightgown, with her hands folded across her chest and her little feet tapping. She looked so rested that she had probably been waiting for him for a while.

Jiang Jicheng laughed awkwardly: "Still... haven't slept yet?"

Jiang Jie pursed her lips and said clearly: "Dad, are you hiding from me?"

Jiang Jicheng was startled and denied with a guilty conscience: "How is that possible? Dad is really busy these days."

"Now, can we talk?"

"Now..." He looked at the time, smiled and started to shirk, "It's already twelve o'clock now, it's too late, let's talk tomorrow? Let's talk tomorrow..."

"I don't want it." She said firmly, "If you don't talk to me tonight, I won't sleep."

Jiang Jicheng's smile froze and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he had no choice but to compromise and sighed: "Okay, let's talk."

What should come is still coming.

He turned around and sat down on the sofa: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Gai also sat down, crossed her legs, and looked at him with a serious look on her face: "Dad, tell me the truth, do you really not like Wen Shiqing?"

Jiang Jicheng pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a calm tone, "It's okay."

"Then why do you keep avoiding him?"

"Dad just feels..." Jiang Jicheng was in a low mood, and his eyes dimmed suddenly, "It's too fast. Dad doesn't want you to get married so soon."

Jiang Gai was silent, looking at his father's depressed mood and feeling inexplicably sad.

"But dad..." Jiang Gai stretched out her hand to hold his generous palm and said in a very soft voice, "I'm not getting married yet. Wen Shiqing just wants to formally meet you and mom."

Jiang Jicheng opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally waved his hand and said, "You don't understand my father's mood."

"Then Dad, do you want me to die alone in the future?"

Jiang Jicheng's expression suddenly changed: "Of course I don't hope so!"

Jiang Gai smiled: "Then I will have to get married sooner or later."

Jiang Jicheng said righteously: "At least it's not possible now, it's too early!"

Jiang Gai couldn't laugh or cry: "We are not getting married now." She emphasized again, "Wen Shiqing just came to visit home to meet you."

"Come to visit?"

"Ok!"

"Don't mention marriage?"

Jiang Gai said one word at a time: "Don't propose marriage!"

Jiang Jicheng sighed: "That's pretty much it..."

……

As a result, Comrade Lao Jiang was finally relieved.

-

The next day, Wen Shiqing took a morning flight to the capital.When picking up the plane, Jiang Gai followed the prompts on the display screen and stood at the corresponding arrival gate and waited patiently.

When he saw people coming out one after another, Jiang Gai stretched his neck to look inside.

After a while, Wen Shiqing came out pushing his suitcase.

Wearing a gray round-neck T-shirt and a pair of casual pants.His eyebrows are clear, his complexion is cold white, and his short hair is crisp and neat. Compared with his usual dull and distant temperament, he looks sunnier and warmer today.Walking in this crowd, he stood out and immediately attracted the attention of many young girls.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Jiang Gai missed him so much. Regardless of the looks of passers-by in the airport, she ran over and hung up on him without saying a word, holding her arms tightly: "Wen Shiqing, I miss you so much."

Wen Shiqing smiled, and his long-term longing was relieved. He hugged her and kissed her sideways, and his heart almost melted: "Me too."

……

After receiving him home, Xiaojia and Jiang Shu happened to come down from upstairs.One child and one child walked up to Wen Shiqing. The former still looked like a young adult with an expressionless face: "Doctor Wen."

Wen Shiqing was condescending and said calmly: "I've grown taller."

Xiaojia: "A little bit."

Jiang Jie: "..." What kind of fairy dialogue.

This was the second time Jiang Shu saw Wen Shiqing. The small figure stood beside his long legs, only reaching the height of his thighs.Jiang Shu raised his head and looked at him with difficulty, with a surprised look on his face: "Uncle, you are so tall."

Xiaojia said calmly: "You have to call me brother."

Jiang Shu: "Oh, brother, you are so tall."

Wen Shiqing: "..."

Jiang Jie burst into laughter: "This is my brother, Jiang Shu."

Wen Shiqing knelt down, looked level with him, and smiled: "Hello."

Jiang Shu looked at him curiously, then asked, "Are you my sister's friend?"

Wen Shiqing paused and corrected: "Boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Little Jiang Shu's face suddenly tightened, and she said seriously, "My uncle said that no boyfriend of my sister is allowed to enter the house!"

Wen Shiqing raised his eyebrows without changing his expression: "What your uncle means is that no man other than your sister's boyfriend can enter the house."

The child looked confused: "Really?"

Wen Shiqing: "Yes."

Jiang Shu stepped aside and said, "Then come in."

Jiang Jie: "..."

Xiaojia: "..."

At this time, grandma, grandpa, Fang Xin and Jiang Jicheng came down from upstairs.

When Jiang Gai saw him, he pulled him inside and said with a smile, "Mom, Dad, grandma, grandpa, Shi Qing is here."

Wen Shiqing nodded and greeted one by one: "Uncle, aunt, grandma and grandpa."

Fang Xin was extremely enthusiastic and took a few steps over to lead Wen Shiqing to the living room: "Sit down, it's hard to fly."

Jiang Jicheng hummed: "He doesn't fly a plane, so why does he have to work so hard?"

Fang Xin lowered her face and glared: "What are you talking about!"

Wen Shiqing smiled: "That's what uncle said."

Jiang Jie: "..."

"How is grandpa's health lately?" Wen Shiqing looked sideways at Fang Rong and asked with concern, "Have you been checked regularly?"

Grandpa responded with a smile: "Yes, I checked again and the doctor said it's nothing serious."

Grandma also spoke at this time: "He has become much better recently."

Wen Shiqing: "That's good."

Fang Xin: "Then grandma and I will go cook and you guys can talk!"

Wen Shiqing: "Okay."

"Xiaojia, Xiaoshu, go for a walk outside with grandpa." Grandpa also stood up, took Xiaojia and Jiang Shu, and walked outside, "Jiezi, you come too."

Jiang Gai was stunned for a moment: "Ah, ah? Should I go too?"

Grandpa winked at her: "Well, help look after the little tree."

Jiang Jiyun was confused, worried that Jiang Jicheng would embarrass Wen Shiqing, so he stood there without making any move.

When Jiang Jicheng saw that she hadn't left for a long time, he said to her: "You go with grandpa."

Hearing this, Jiang Gai glanced at Wen Shiqing in embarrassment, and finally had no choice but to move out.

……

The door to the house was closed, and the living room was silent for a moment.

Jiang Jicheng looked at him silently for a few times, coughed twice, and said with a serious expression, "I've known you for many years, so I won't beat around the bush and just tell the truth."

Wen Shiqing raised his face and looked at him calmly: "Say."

Jiang Jicheng went straight to the point: "It's okay to fall in love, but we can wait until Jiezi graduates to discuss marriage."

Wen Shiqing did not hesitate: "Okay."

Jiang Jicheng was a little surprised by his decisiveness, but soon he put away the surprise in his eyes and asked again: "What do you like about our mustard seeds?"

Wen Shiqing lowered his eyes slightly and curved his lips gently: "Kind, enthusiastic, and brave to express. She is like a little sun, always surrounding me tirelessly and giving me warmth. She is braver than me and knows better than me. Her human heart, even innocence and beauty make me want to spend my whole life protecting her.”

His eyes were sincere and calm.Every word, every word, spoke directly to Jiang Jicheng's heart.

For a moment, Jiang Jicheng's eyes felt slightly warm.

After a while, Comrade Lao Jiang calmed down and hummed proudly: "My daughter is naturally impeccable!"
