Chapter 70: The Clingy Childhood Sweetheart 14 p2
Even though they had done more intimate things, but at this time, just holding his hand, Jiang Qi felt his emotions swelling. He held it cherishly in his palm, and then he whispered to Shu He and suggested that they go on a date.
Shu He asked how to date.
“Let’s go and see.”
Just a simple walk together was very good for Jiang Qi. Shu He said “Oh,” and stood up. Before he left, Jiang Qi took a bunch of grapes, and on the way, he fed them to the person beside him, and also told him secrets.
The two of them announced their relationship in the small group.
Fang Ziyang replied with an emoji that was neither a blessing nor had any other meaning. Lin Yushen replied with “congratulations” and a series of surprised messages. Chen Jingchen chose to forward his own work to the group, and refreshed all the messages, out of sight, out of mind.
Fang Ziyang had gotten the true teaching, and after a while, he also sent a picture of his sports competition medals and trophies.
Jiang Qi frowned and let out a light “tsk,” and took Shu He to a restaurant.
They caught the couple’s half-price deal. Jiang Qi, this rich second generation who was not short of money, noticed, and even specially asked the boss if this activity was still on. After getting a definite reply, Jiang Qi reservedly took Shu He’s wrist and said, “Oh, then we’ll have the half-price.”
The boss: “…”
The boss watched as Jiang Qi ordered a bunch of expensive dishes, and clearly was not short of money but had used the couple’s half-price activity. He wiped his face and said, “Congratulations, congratulations. A hundred years of happiness.”
Jiang Qi nodded and said he would, he would, but a hundred years of happiness was not enough. Could he wish them a thousand years of happiness?
The boss: “…”
That’s enough… Shu He tugged at the corner of Jiang Qi’s clothes, feeling that he really needed to go to the hospital to see a doctor about this illness.
The boss said with a wooden face, “Then I wish you ten thousand years of happiness, ten thousand years of happiness.”
Super double!
Jiang Qi appeared very reserved, and with a calm “Mm,” his pleasure was revealed from the long, narrow corners of his eyes. He said that he could donate some money to the boss to renovate this shop.
The boss: “Young Master Jiang, this shop is the Jiang family’s.”
Jiang Qi: “…”
Is that so? I don’t remember.
Jiang Qi turned his head and took the baby into a private room to wait for the food. Just as Shu He sat down, he held Jiang Qi’s hand and told him to be normal. Jiang Qi asked where he was not normal.
“You’re still normal? What normal person would want ten thousand years of happiness?”
Jiang Qi argued, “I wanted a thousand years of happiness.”
He had a look that said he couldn’t help it if the boss wanted to wish them ten thousand years of happiness.
Shu He puffed out his cheeks, and said seriously that a thousand years of happiness was also not very normal. Jiang Qi frowned and pondered for a long time without a word.
Before long, the waiter brought the food. Shu He looked up and said thank you, but he didn’t expect to meet a familiar face.
Tang Yang put down the food and subconsciously turned his head, and was stunned for a moment. He stared at Shu He with a complicated gaze for a few seconds, and then quickly swept his gaze over the big boy on the other side, who hadn’t even lifted his eyelids. He slowly put down the food in his hand, and greeted Shu He in a low voice, saying long time no see.
“Long time no see.”
Tang Yang said, “I’m a little busy. I’ll go and serve the food first, young master.”
“Mm.”
Tang Yang wiped his hand and lowered his head and left.
The door closed, and Jiang Qi’s dark eyes lifted, and he stared at Shu He and said that he had just thought about it. Shu He tilted his head in a daze, and thought he was talking about Tang Yang, and he heard a sentence, “Although a thousand years of happiness is not realistic, I still want to ask for this unreality.”
“What if there are past and future lives?”
“Just like when I was four years old and saw you for the first time, I wanted to know you.”
Shu He was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Qi actually still wanted to ask for ten thousand years of happiness, ten thousand thousand years of happiness.
But he only dared to ask in his heart.
He was afraid that the baby would say he was sick again and should go to the hospital to see a doctor.
As for Tang Yang, Jiang Qi didn’t take him seriously at all. This dead yellow-haired man had nothing. What did he have to compete with him?
Shu He didn’t know what Jiang Qi was thinking.
He lowered his head and swung his legs. Jiang Qi lifted his eyes and nonchalantly put food in Shu He’s bowl.
—
Surprisingly, Chen Jingchen did not tell Shu’s father and mother about their relationship.
After waiting for several days, Jiang Qi, who realized that Shu’s father and mother still knew nothing, was actually a little disappointed.
After his disappointment, he took the initiative to announce these things to his own family. Jiang’s mother was not surprised at all. Although she had not known that the two of them were together before, she did not feel it was sudden at this time, but rather felt that it was a matter of course.
After all, the way these two children had gotten along since they were little was something that everyone had seen.
Jiang’s father was not very strange either because he had been prepared in advance.
And the news of Shu He’s relationship soon spread throughout the school with wings. The people who had a crush on him were heartbroken, and some felt that as long as they were not married, anything was possible.
Now Jiang Qi could hold his hand openly.
Shu’s father and mother’s side had not been deliberately hidden. When Jiang’s mother was chatting with Shu’s mother, she had accidentally mentioned this matter, and only then did she realize that they still didn’t know, so she explained it at length.
And Shu’s mother, who had suddenly learned that her good son was in a relationship: “…” Huh?
When she learned that it was with Jiang Qi, she was again: “…” Huh?
Shu’s mother quickly called Jiang’s father about this, and the two of them were shocked together. Jiang’s father wanted to call Little He to ask, but his hand was just raised when it was pressed down by Shu’s mother.
He barely managed to calm himself down, and looked at his wife with confusion. Shu’s mother shook her head, and seriously analyzed with him whether Little He didn’t want them to know.
Otherwise, how could the Jiang family know, and they didn’t? Jiang’s father heard this and felt it made a lot of sense. “Then what should we do?”
Jiang’s mother: “Ask Jiang Qi?”
Speaking of Jiang Qi, Jiang’s father’s expression became complicated. It wasn’t that he didn’t like this child, it was just… unexpected.
For more than ten years, they, these elders, had only felt that the two children had a good relationship, and that their friendship was very rare. They had never thought of anything else.
They had been friends for so many years, and now they were suddenly together. How could people accept it calmly?
Shu’s mother frowned and said, “I don’t think Little He necessarily wants to hide it from us. After all… if he really wanted to hide it, Little Li wouldn’t have told us these things.”
Little Li was Jiang Qi’s mother.
Shu’s father said, “…Then should we ask Jiang Qi?”
The two of them looked at each other and quickly made up their minds.
When Jiang Qi received the message, he was in a meeting at the company. Because the sound of the message was not the special ringtone he had set for the baby, Jiang Qi did not look at it right away.
This meeting lasted for two hours. Jiang Qi spun his pen, a little bored, and after thinking for a moment, he still opened his phone and glanced at it, and then his brow slightly furrowed, and his lips pressed into a straight line.
Shu’s mother had only sent one message.
【Are you and Little He in a relationship?】
There were no other messages, and it looked like an interrogation.
Jiang Qi stared for a long time, and sent a “yes” in acknowledgment. Shu’s mother quickly sent a second one: 【Are you free in the afternoon? Your uncle and I want to talk to you.】
He had a night market date with Little He at seven in the evening.
After calculating some time, Jiang Qi sent a “good,” and then he put away his phone, and after the meeting, he went directly to the Shu family’s house.
This was a big matter, and Shu’s father and mother were both waiting at home. When Jiang Qi came, the two of them were sitting on the sofa, not saying a word, their expressions very serious.
His steps immediately slowed down, and he slowly walked opposite the two of them. Jiang Qi politely called them “Uncle” and “Auntie,” and then sat down.
In these few years, Jiang Qi had spent more than half of his time at the Shu family’s house.
They were indeed very familiar.
There was no need to be roundabout. He could just ask what he wanted to ask. What Shu’s mother wanted to ask the most was, “How did you two suddenly get together?”
Suddenly?
Jiang Qi’s long, narrow brow lifted, and his Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice was natural. “It’s not sudden. I’ve liked Little He for a long time.”
Shu’s mother was stunned for a moment, and Shu’s father continued, “Then what about Little He?”
“Little He…” Jiang Qi paused. “I confessed to him on his eighteenth birthday. He rejected me a few times, and he agreed a while ago. Uncle, Auntie, I want to marry Little He.”
He sat up straight, looking very calm and composed, but the hands that were on his knees were clenched together. “I’ve even thought of the wedding candy, and I’ve discussed it with Little He. He doesn’t really like the wedding candy I picked, so I said he could pick it. He said the candy in the wedding candy packaging is not delicious, and asked if he could pick other candy.”
As he spoke, the topic became a little strange. “I said okay, and then I asked him what kind of invitation he wanted, and if it was okay if I designed it myself. He said my design might not be good-looking, and he wasn’t willing.”
As he spoke, Jiang Qi seemed to be unable to help but curve his lips, and his dark eyes were filled with an emotion that Shu’s father and mother had never seen on his face. “Then I asked about the wedding favors. He said he didn’t know about that. I asked a lot of other things related to the wedding, and he didn’t say he was unwilling to marry me.”
Jiang Qi said, “So I’ve already picked a date.”
Shu’s father and mother: “…”
You 5.
What did they ask him for?
Was it to talk about these things?
Shu’s father and mother were at a loss for words for a moment, and they also felt that there was nothing more to say, because… these two children seemed to be a matter of course.
Transitioning from the identity of best friends to an intimate couple, it didn’t seem to be anything wrong.
After a few seconds of silence, Shu’s mother rubbed her brow and said, “You’ve even talked about this. What else can your uncle and I say? We also know your personality, and we’re not trying to stop you. It’s just that there are too many things we don’t know, and we want to ask you to understand.”
Jiang Qi said with restraint, “Mm, you can ask anything.”
At this, they had nothing more to ask.
Shu’s mother said, “Will Little He be back today? Let’s have dinner together.”
Jiang Qi said calmly, “No. We have a date tonight.”
Shu’s father and mother: “…”
Out of sight, out of mind.
The two of them raised their hands and shooed Jiang Qi away. Jiang Qi walked into the sunlight and sent a message to Shu He, telling him what had just happened.
When the two of them met in the evening, the summer wind was hot. Jiang Qi hooked Shu He’s hand and told him in a low voice, “Uncle and Auntie have agreed.”
Shu He nodded as usual, and then gently furrowed his brow and said it was hot, and could they not hold hands?
Jiang Qi didn’t feel hot. Hearing this, not only did he not let go, but he held on even tighter. He looked down at their hands, and then lifted his dark eyes a little to stare at the boy’s puffed-out cheeks.
As if he thought it was cute, Jiang Qi couldn’t help but gently pinch it with his empty hand. Shu He gave up, and could only let him hold on, and walked forward quickly, leaving him a very cold back.
Jiang Qi smiled.
He hooked his hand and led him to a deserted corner.
Shu He shook his held hand and told him to let go. Jiang Qi calmly let go, and then said he wanted to kiss.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him.
Every time he wanted to kiss, he would ask. Even if he was rejected, he would still kiss. He didn’t know why he had to go through the process of asking.
Shu He rubbed his reddened hand and said no. The next second, the person in front of him, as expected, bent down slightly and kissed his lips.
Their hot breaths intertwined in this restless, hot summer, lingering. Shu He’s lashes trembled slightly, and the back of his neck was gently held by a hot hand.
This hand was calloused, and his thumb was a little rough. It rubbed against the pale, delicate back of his neck, making it impossible for Shu He to concentrate on looking at him, and his lips were easily licked open, and his hidden, soft tongue was hooked.
