Jiang Hao looked at her and said nothing, "I originally wanted to change the house, but only you have lived here, and there are our memories here. I think if you come back one day, you can find a place, so I changed the decoration.
The place has not been changed, I have done it according to your liking."
"You never asked me, how do you know what I like?"
"Haha, I don't know you well yet. You like things that are simple, practical, generous and bright, just like me."
Qiao Xinwei pursed her lips and said angrily: "Who is the same as you? I said people will change, and so will interests and loves. I don't like watching movies a long time ago. When we were together before,
, when did you see me watching a movie?"
Jiang Hao looked at her innocently, with a layer of disappointment in his eyes. He was specially designed for her to be proud of, but she said he was not interested.
For this home theater, he went to the cinema and watched a movie that made him doze off. He visited many friends' homes and listened to them. He also researched various audio equipment. All the things he used were top-notch. He was almost a grown-up.
Half an expert now.
But when she said "I don't like it", she poured cold water on him.
"Also, the decoration is not considered well. The stairs and cabinets are all at right angles, and the handles of the drawers are all at right angles. Xibao is big now, and smaller children are crawling around and bumping into each other. Right angles can easily cause injuries. And that one
Carpets are nice to look at, but they are easy to accumulate dust and are difficult to see and easy to clean. If children sit and play on the carpet, they will be filled with bacteria, making them very dirty."
Jiang Hao's enthusiasm cooled down little by little as Qiao Xinwei pointed out the various dissatisfactions. He froze in place, neither speaking nor moving away, just looking at her indifferently.
Qiao Xinwei seemed to be aware of her harshness and felt embarrassed for a moment, "But overall it's pretty good. At least the second floor is no longer idle."
Why did this compliment sound so sour? She even realized it when she heard Jiang Hao sigh silently.
Maybe she felt guilty, or maybe she was thinking subconsciously, but she suddenly said, "Then let me take a look."
Jiang Hao's mood was like riding a roller coaster, with sudden ups and downs. He nodded impatiently, "Hey, okay, open it and you can watch it. You can choose what you want to watch. I'll go down and get some food, and we can watch it while we're at it."
Eat and watch.”
Turn on the TV and you will see the new movie that is being released. The operation is very simple. Slide the mouse to choose. She sits cross-legged on the carpet and puts on the headphones. The shocking and ethereal sound quality is very good.
Thinking back, she had really never watched any movies in all these years. She was busy with work before, and then she was busy taking care of her children. There were always things waiting for her to do, and she had no leisure at all.
After a while, Jiang Hao came up and brought strawberries and bread. There was even bread. She asked jokingly: "Are you not full for dinner? Do you want to eat bread at this time?"
"I haven't eaten yet."
She asked in surprise: "You really haven't eaten? Then why don't you have dinner? You have a stomach problem."
Jiang Hao also sat cross-legged on the carpet, his whole body in a relaxed state. He said: "I thought you would be polite and ask me to come up to eat, but I didn't expect you to be so rude."
"??" Who is this? He is deliberately making people feel uncomfortable.
"Haha, it's okay. I eat the same thing now?? Hey, what kind of movie is this?"
"I don't know. My hands shook a little and I started broadcasting."
After finishing speaking, the title came out, "Bear Infested", and the two of them laughed in unison. Jiang Hao said: "Tomorrow you and Xi Bao can watch it together. This screen has been processed and will not hurt your eyes." As he said that, he swiped.
I changed my mouse to another one, "Those Years in a Hurry".
"Wear headphones?"
"If I don't wear them, I can't hear Xi Bao's movements if I wear them." Hey, it's different now that I'm a mother. I'll think of my children no matter what I do.
"Okay, then I'll watch a silent movie with you."
Youthful and nostalgic movies always have infinite sentimentality, but the viewing effect of this movie is really not as good as the outside reviews. Jiang Hao can't watch it at all, and always looks away at Qiao Xinwei.
And Qiao Xinwei couldn't stand it. The youth she experienced was not so bloody and complicated. During her student days, the classmates and friends around her were very simple. This didn't resonate with outside legends at all.
"Why do you always look at me? Look at Ni Ni."
"Who is Nini?"
"??" Oops, she forgot that Jiang Hao is an old man who doesn't follow stars or dramas. She explained, "Just the heroine."
Jiang Hao opened his mouth and said, "She is not as good-looking as you."
Qiao Xinwei reached out and slapped his face, turning his face completely, "Look good."
After watching for a while, Jiang Hao deserted again. He lay on the low coffee table and slowly moved closer, "Hey, I'll go out to do some work tomorrow, and I'll register Xi Bao's household registration by the way."
"Okay, remember, his name is Qiao Zaixi."
"Okay." Jiang Hao agreed. Anyway, he is his son regardless of the surname. He thought that his elders would object, so he didn't tell his parents about Xi Bao yet. He would surprise his elders after completing the household registration. I hope he won't be frightened.
.
The surroundings were very quiet. You could hear the sound of water flowing in the heating pipes. It might be because of the heat. Qiao Xinwei felt that her whole face was getting hot. She took a strawberry and ate it. It was soft, fragrant, sweet, and cool.
, very delicious.
"Shall we take Xi Bao out for a walk on Christmas Eve?"
"There must be a lot of people that night, so why don't you join in the fun?"
"Okay, it's up to you. Then take Xi Bao to my house on New Year's Day night so that my parents can meet their grandson."
Qiao Xinwei looked back at Jiang Hao, "I also want to take Xi Bao to celebrate the holidays with my parents." Seeing Jiang Hao's helpless and slightly disappointed expression, she said, "I'll go to my house at noon and your house in the evening.
Let’s go out for a walk early on Christmas Eve afternoon, have dinner outside, and then go home, because it will be cold later.”
"Okay, okay." Jiang Hao giggled unconsciously, "How about strawberries?"
"Yeah, it's delicious."
"Then I'll buy it tomorrow."
Neither of them was watching a movie, and they were chatting about each other, "Have you contacted Xi Bao's kindergarten?"
"Well, I contacted the principal, and the principal asked us to take the child there on Friday, let them see the child, and also let us see the environment of the kindergarten. If there are no problems, we can send it there next Monday."
"Oh, okay."
The voice of the conversation became softer and softer, and the two of them got closer and closer. The flickering TV light made the atmosphere in the living room extremely ambiguous.
"Xinwei, I learned something today and I feel very hurt."
"What?"
"Chief Jin Zijian, he was arrested. There is something wrong with his style. My dad was called for questioning because of him. I will go there tomorrow too. Being called for questioning is only secondary. What hurts me is that he is my
My mentor is my role model. I have always followed his words for so many years, but he actually took advantage of me. I suddenly felt that what I originally insisted on and trusted was suddenly destroyed."
During these days, Qiao Xinwei had seen too many of Jiang Hao's silly and funny ways. He suddenly became serious, and she was not used to it.
"Xinwei, do you know that he gave me the order to get close to Xiao Tianai and gain Xiao Tianai's trust through divorce? Of course, I can't doubt that there is anything wrong with his order. After all, this drug trafficking case has been solved. It's just that
I feel uncomfortable because he destroyed our family with just one order, but what he fulfilled was his lover."
Qiao Xinwei listened quietly. He never told her about work matters, but this time he took the initiative to bring it up. It was so abnormal. "Jiang Hao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just think about it all these years and it's not worth it."
The northwest wind outside was strong and howling, and strong cold air was coming. This was the coldest time of the year. The cold wind was mixed with ice particles, and gradually, there was a "pop-pop" sound on the window glass.
"Is it snowing?" Qiao Xinwei raised her head and looked out the window. Under a dim spotlight, she saw falling snow everywhere. "It's snowing. Look, it's snowing." She exclaimed with a smile.
.
The snow in the capital is dry, dense, and like salt. It can accumulate a thick layer the next night and tomorrow morning. During her years in Linzhou, there was no heating in the winter, and the room was damp and cold.
Well, it wasn't snowing yet, but it was raining. When she came back, she saw snowing, and she was very surprised.
Jiang Hao also looked out and said, "Hey, it's the first snow this winter."
They simply stopped watching the movie. They walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and realized that it was snowing so heavily outside, with five-flowered snowflakes falling continuously. They were in a warm heated room.
Inside, looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window.
Jiang Hao looked at her side face and her bright almond-shaped eyes shining with hope. His heart felt warm and he couldn't help but move closer.
Qiao Xinwei felt a masculine breath approaching her ears, and she turned to look at him.
He stopped, neither moving forward nor retreating. He promised not to force her, but if she was willing??
Qiao Xinwei's face turned red and her breathing became rapid. She frowned and turned to look out the window. She didn't want to forgive him so easily, but at the same time she felt sorry for him and longed for him.
Jiang Hao silently held her hand, then her wrist, and slowly moved it up to her shoulder. Looking at her who was trembling slightly, there was a smile on his lips.
"Xinwei, forgive me, let's start over."
It was all because the atmosphere was too good and too ambiguous, all because the snow was so beautiful and romantic. Her ears were tickled by his magnetic voice, and her chest was beaten wildly by his warm breath. She didn't even refuse,
Let his rough palms touch her face, let his dry lips touch hers.
At this moment, the cry of a child suddenly came from the second bedroom. Qiao Xinwei woke up suddenly and pushed Jiang Hao away. Jiang Hao blinked, this gentle kiss was not enough.
"Mom, mom." Zai Xi cried. He had never slept alone. When he opened his eyes, it was dark and his mother was not around. He felt strange and scared.
Qiao Xinwei ran into the bedroom in panic, "Xi Bao, mom is here." She picked up Zai Xi and kept comforting her, and even hummed a nursery rhyme. Zai Xi calmed down as soon as he smelled her mother's breath and held her tightly.
He grabbed his mother's clothes and refused to let go.
Jiang Hao leaned against the door, thinking: Son, you are crying at the right time, can you give me some strength?!
