It was getting dark, and the sky in the west showed a large area of bright red.
The rays of the sun are no longer dazzling, flowing softly from far to near, and the vast plains are covered with endless golden wheat fields.
The whole Yuzhou is shrouded in the sunset.
After Xue Yuantong had eaten her fill, she lay down on the couch by the door to rest. Jiang Ning sat next to her and watched the sunset.
The setting sun gradually sets, blending into the sky and the earth. As the last trace of light disappears, it perfectly disappears into the night.
it's dark.
The door of the uncle and aunt next door lit up with a yellow light, illuminating the darkness again.
The three children were running around in the open space in front of the bungalow, laughing and laughing, and they didn't seem tired at all.
Aunt Gu didn't stay in the house. It was summer and the house was stuffy. She went outside to enjoy the air and chat with the neighbors.
Aunt Gu now has good job remuneration, a worry-free life, and looks much better than before.
"Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, there are mosquitoes, let's go back to the house?" Xue Yuantong made a suggestion after grabbing the mosquitoes several times but failing.
Aunt Gu looked at her daughter: "When you are full and lie down, if the mosquitoes don't bite you, who will they bite?"
"I don't know how to get up and move around." She said a few words.
Xue Yuantong said hard: "It's not like he just bit me. Ask Jiang Ning, he must have been bitten!"
Jiang Ning: "No."
Xue Yuantong, 'Damn it, you're not facing me!'
Finally, Xue Yuantong found an excuse to play games and returned to his room, Jiang Ning's room to be precise.
She continued to lie on the sofa.
Jiang Ning's room was cool and indescribably comfortable. The sofa was soft and the air was fresh. Xue Yuantong attributed this to the fact that she took good care of the flowers and plants on the windowsill.
If it weren't for her baby bed here, she wouldn't even want to go back at night.
Xue Yuantong was lying on the sofa, looking at Jiang Ning in front of him. The computer screen lit up, and the desktop was an atmospheric wallpaper of snow-capped mountains. It was a world that only existed in imagination.
The mouse on the screen remained motionless, the screen was just a background board, and Jiang Jing read quietly.
Xue Yuantong once told him that if he doesn't use the computer, don't turn on the screen and waste electricity.
Later Jiang asked her, why do you cover yourself with a quilt and blow on the electric fan?
Xue Yuantong made a few excuses and said no more.
Later, she discovered that reading with the computer screen was very peaceful, as if something was accompanying her.
After a long time, Xue Yuantong wanted to change his posture, but he felt tired.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, I'm about to melt." Xue Yuantong stretched out his little hand and moved feebly, but unfortunately, he couldn't touch him.
Jiang Ning ignored her.
After a minute, Xue Yuantong said in a crisp voice: "I am a piece of white bread, fried~"
Jiang Ning stood up, walked over, and turned Xue Yuantong's petite body over.
She changed from lying down to lying on her stomach.
After a while, Xue Yuantong called again: "Okay, both sides are fully cooked and ready to eat."
Jiang Ning came over again and helped her into a sitting position.
Xue Yuantong's arms were so soft that when Jiang Ning moved her, they almost made marks.
Xue Yuantong didn't scream either. She puffed up her face and sat on the sofa, kicking her tender little feet.
Jiang Ning picked up the pen, scribbled on the draft paper, and drew some strange symbols.
He is studying formations and preparing to refine some personal supplies.
For example, the jade pendant on Xue Yuantong's chest was made by him using the principles of formation. Later, as his formation level became more sophisticated and Shao Shuangshuang's collection of materials progressed, he improved the jade pendant twice more.
With the jade pendant instantly activating protection, there are almost no external factors that can threaten the life of the wearer in daily life.
What Jiang Ning plans to refine now is a protective formation that can really be used for himself. Although it may not be used at the moment, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day.
He studied for a while, found a piece of white jade from the drawer, and used tools to carve it. From time to time, dust fell onto the draft paper below.
In fact, you should not do this kind of work in the bedroom because dust can easily spread throughout the room.
However, Jiang Ning used spiritual power to control it and ensured that no trace of dust would escape.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was not playing with her, Xue Yuantong simply took out her cell phone and contacted her best friend Chu Chu.
She revealed to Chu Chu that she and Jiang Ning would go to play in the wild tomorrow, and sincerely invited Chu Chu to participate.
But today, Chu Chu refused.
It turns out that tomorrow, Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School will hold a study tour, with the goal of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles", heading to cities in southern Hui Province to experience the cultural customs.
Only the Qingbei class in the first grade of high school are eligible to participate in this activity. Xue Chuchu is a student in the Qingbei class, so she has to study together with her classmates.
After Xue Yuantong heard this, his first thought was, 'It's broken'!
After this time, when Chu Chu returned from studying, his horizons would definitely be broadened, and he would fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
She is going to be the most tacky person in the trio.
Xue Yuantong couldn't bear to think about that possibility!
After experiencing the changes in her best friend, she felt a little restless and felt that her time was wasted.
She thought about it carefully, was it no longer so unacceptable to go out during the summer vacation?
…
night.
Downtown, Jiang’s dinner party.
Jiang Ning's uncle Jiang Qitian, his aunt, his cousins in law, his cousins Jiang Junlong, and Shen Qing'e all ate together at the same table.
There were seven or eight plates of food on the large solid wood table, including braised crab, pork ribs and corn soup, fried beans, steamed sea bass, fried shredded pork with green garlic, spicy scallops, and cut watermelon. It was a sumptuous meal.
Jiang Junlong took the kuaizi and ate with a big mouthful. His aunt put a piece of ribs in his bowl and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Next to her, Shen Qing'e picked up two beans.
When her aunt saw her, she immediately gave her half a piece of crab and said, "Qing'e, you are too thin, eat more."
Shen Qing'e thanked her: "Yeah, I understand."
The aunt said: "You kid, you are too polite."
She likes Qing'e very much. Sister Qing'e is her daughter-in-law, so she has this important relationship.
Moreover, Qing'e has a decent appearance, knows how to advance and retreat when doing things, and is smart. Sometimes when she does something, such as making dumplings, Qing'e will be sensible and come over to help her and chat with her.
Of course my aunt likes such a little girl and wishes she could stay longer.
When Jiang Junlong was half full, he said, "Mom, I'm going to play with my brother Ning tomorrow. Don't cook for me at noon."
After hearing this, my aunt questioned: "You won't run out to surf the Internet, right?"
"If you don't believe me, ask me, Brother Ning, and then Qing'e." Jiang Junlong moved his shield.
Shen Qing'e said at the right time: "I'll go there together tomorrow and won't let him go online."
The aunt was still a little hesitant. At this time, the uncle Jiang Qitian took a sip of wine and said, "Why do you care if he is so stubborn?"
Auntie's face turned, and a dark cloud was brewing at the dinner table.
Jiang Junlong didn't know what to say.
Finally, his aunt agreed for him to go out to play. Jiang Junlong breathed a long sigh of relief. Why is it so difficult to catch a fish?
After the meal, Shen Qing'e helped clear the dishes. Although her aunt repeatedly said no, Shen Qing'e still insisted on cleaning the dishes.
After she finished, she returned to the bedroom. This bedroom had a window facing south. The room was not too big or too small, so she was very comfortable living alone.
There are two posters on the wall. The small house is very cozy, but there is always a sense of alienation.
Because this is not her own home.
Shen Qing'e stayed at her sister's house. Although she was very friendly on the surface and her aunt was kind to her, she was not from this family after all.
She really wanted to have a house of her own like this in the city.
It's a pity that her parents are just two inconspicuous people among the large number of migrant workers along the coast.
If you want to afford a house like this, you have to live without food or drink for many years.
Shen Qing'e sat at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, opened the test paper and answered the questions.
She was born in a small town, but when she came to the city, if she didn't work hard, her grades would not be as good as those of the students in the city.
She picked up the pen, but for some reason she couldn't calm down.
What Shen Qing'e didn't understand was that Jiang Ning's grades were not much better than hers before, but after she came to No. 4 Middle School, she took off instantly.
She looked at Jiang Ning's back from a distance, but she couldn't catch up to him no matter what.
Thinking of this, she thought that tomorrow, she and Jiang Junlong would play with Jiang Ning.
She was vaguely hopeful, but also pessimistic.
‘Maybe he doesn’t welcome me?’ Shen Qing’e thought.
The relationship between her and Jiang Ning broke down too hastily at the beginning, just because he didn't go along with her wishes, so she started a cold war and deliberately ignored him until Jiang Ning went out to rent a house.
Later, when school started, not only did she not want to talk to Jiang Ning, but she despised Jiang Ning's impulsive behavior in her heart, thinking that he might have degenerated in the future.
In the end, today's strange road was formed.
Shen Qing'e was confused and couldn't calm down to study the test paper. She went to the bedside to get her mobile phone, clicked on Kuwo Music, and played the song.
Then a class group was created, in which Lu Qiqi, Yu Wen and others were chatting, but Shen Qing'e had no intention of joining.
She saw a prompt in the news and simply clicked on the space. Many classmates had posted comments. She scrolled down and found Jiang Ning's new comment.
Jiang Ning rarely posts anything recently. Today, which is rare, he posted two pictures. They are of a lifelike white jade bunny. There are carving tools, carving knives, rulers, polishing blocks, etc. placed around the bunny.
The white jade rabbit looks really good-looking, with smooth lines and pure and flawless colors.
Shen Qing'e fell in love with it at first sight. Through the photos, she could even feel the white, waxy, gentle and delicate jade material. If she touched it with her fingers, she would definitely not be able to put it down.
Let’s talk about the subtitles: “It’s my first time to wither a small animal, and it feels pretty good.”
Jiang Ning doesn't have many friends, but every time he posts something, everyone cheers him up and gets dozens of likes.
Chen Siyu: "It's not just good, it looks good!"
Chen Siqing: "Second."
Wang Longlong: "Brother Ning is a great talent!"
Shan Kaiquan: "Did you carve it yourself? You didn't buy it, did you?"
Geng Lu replied to Shan Kaiquan: "The picture I produced was carved by Jiang Ning. How can it be fake?"
There are also a bunch of classmates speaking below.
Shen Qing'e read them one by one, and then she focused on the little rabbit in the picture.
She is born in the year of Rabbit, and this little white jade rabbit is really suitable for her...
If it were before...
She stared at it for a long time, and accidentally clicked into Jiang Ning's space with her finger.
Shen Qing'e woke up with a start, almost frightened out of her mind.
Since the cold war with Jiang Ning, she has never visited Jiang Ning's space.
In the past, she and Jiang Ning not only liked and left comments on the space, but also liked each other's business cards every day.
But later they all disappeared, as if whoever gave a thumbs up had to admit defeat.
‘What should I do?’ In panic, Shen Qing’e thought of the yellow diamond. As long as the yellow diamond is turned on, the access record can be deleted.
She is not a distinguished yellow diamond user. After all, yellow diamonds cost 10 yuan a month.
Now, as a last resort, Shen Qing'e reluctantly spent 10 yuan, opened a yellow diamond for a month, and quickly deleted the access records.
After solving the problem, Shen Qing'e finally felt relieved and thought for a moment:
'You can't get yellow diamonds in vain.'
The next second, she opened the invisible access permission, poked her finger into Jiang Ning's space, browsed his comments and message boards twice.
…
"Jiang Ning, the rabbit is very beautiful. Is it for Xue Yuantong?" Geng Lu sent a message. She knew that Xue Yuantong's zodiac sign was rabbit.
Jiang Ning replied: "That's right."
"My zodiac sign is tiger. I will give you a picture and give you money to buy jade. Can you help me wither a little tiger?" The little rabbit looked at Geng Lu and wanted it very much.
Jiang Ning said: "Are you sure about the little tiger? I can wither it, but just now Bai Yuxia asked me to wither the little tiger. Maybe I will do it again."
After Geng Lu heard this, she was slightly unhappy with Bai Yuxia's taking the lead, mainly because he also stole her little tiger.
But as long as it was withered by Jiang Ning's own hands, she still wanted a share, just when she wanted to be sure.
Jiang Ning said: "Little Tiger may not be suitable for you."
Geng Lu was lost for a moment when he saw this news.
Jiang Ning sent another message: "I have other recommended animals."
"What animal?" Geng Lu asked.
"Bear."
A cartoon version of a bear popped into Geng Lu's mind, and she asked again: "Big bear or little bear?"
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "Mini version of Big Bear."
Geng Lu's face turned red with embarrassment across the screen, and the soft light in her eyes flooded the screen: 'Did he do it on purpose?'
…
Jiang Ning and Geng Lu decided on the small animal to carve. He found a golden rope, put it on dark green jade beads, and decorated the end with a red bead, connecting it to the white jade rabbit.
Xue Yuantong put it on his hand with satisfaction and praised it for a while.
Just as Aunt Gu came in from the door, she rushed to meet her: "Mom, Mom! Look, Jiang Ning's little rabbit is awesome!"
"He made it especially for me!"
Xue Yuantong couldn't stop showing off.
Aunt Gu couldn't help but think of her daughter who got a jade pendant last year and also showed off it non-stop.
She was a little surprised when she saw the little white jade rabbit on her daughter's wrist. It was really beautiful.
After her daughter showed off for a while and was overjoyed, Aunt Gu said:
"Jiang Ning is so kind to you, making you a little bunny, but you are too lazy to wash his clothes, and the washing is not clean at all!"
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong realized that she had been exposed, and most of the happiness on her face disappeared.
She had never quarreled with Jiang Ning last time. In order to get revenge on Jiang Ning, she deliberately used small tricks. Unexpectedly...
She stared at Jiang Ning resentfully: "You actually complained to my mother."
It was like making an appointment with Jiang Ning to fight with bare hands, but Jiang Ning brought a rolling pin and she was completely unable to defeat him.
Aunt Gu pointed out what was wrong with her: "I should sue you. If you are angry, you should be angry. Your clothes should be washed."
"I guess you touched the water and immediately picked it up from the basin." Aunt Gu is experienced and knows her daughter's temperament well.
Xue Yuantong was silent for two seconds and said: "My clothes were not stained with water. I hung them to dry in the sun."
