If the current life could continue unchanged forever, Xu Qing felt he would probably be happy.
But nothing in the world stays the same forever.
Like his moving into the storage room, like Jiang He taking over the master bedroom, like the occasional times she could now catch the gags he threw out.
Even Jiang He had learned to play the straight man and would express surprise with words like 'wow'.
After changes, inevitably, something felt off.
May 23rd.
"Aren't you going out to have fun today?"
The words Jiang He uttered made Xu Qing feel a sense of déjà vu.
"You're off."
"I'm fine," Jiang He said, looking down.
"No, you...if you don't want to study, you can take a break; there's no need to always think about sending me out."
Xu Qing blamed it on the math book because Jiang He had just asked: why didn't this old man just say his age clearly, why did he have to make it a problem for Ming?
She seemed very annoyed, and this was probably her first time empathizing with Ming.
