Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 121: Purely Accidental, Neighbor's Misbehavior 15

The weather in December is like a child with changeable moods, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy. When it is sunny, the air is stuffy, and when it rains, it is damp and cold. In short, it is very uncomfortable weather.

“The weather this year is really weird.”

"Brother, what are you talking to yourself about?" Leng Nuan scooped a handful of sour beans and minced meat with a public spoon and turned his head to ask.

“Nothing.” What made him even more depressed than the strange weather was that he had to face his boss at the company all day long! Why did he have to face him after getting off work?

Leng Xu tightly gripped his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and looked at Qin Shuangjiang, who was sitting opposite him, sitting properly and eating elegantly, eating a home-cooked meal like a high-end western restaurant. Even though the scene in front of him was so beautiful, Leng Xu couldn't stop the accusation in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

The delicate hands gently put down the chopsticks. Qin Shuangjiang took a sip of the moderately hot boiled water, wiped his lips with a tissue, and then said in a gentle (and proud) tone: "Nuannuan invited me."

"..." It's really heartbreaking! He slowly turned his head and looked at his sister who ate little but ate very quickly like a squirrel. Suddenly, he felt that the food in his hand was not fragrant anymore.

"Sister Shuangjiang, are you full after eating so little?" It was a pity that she did not receive the emotional waves from her eldest brother. Seeing that the people around her only ate half a bowl of rice, Leng Nuan asked with concern. "Is the food not to your taste?" Well, after all, they are just some home-cooked meals.

When Qin Shuangjiang heard this, he quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, Nuannuan's cooking is delicious, but I just have a small appetite."

No, little sister, you just breathed a sigh of relief, didn't you? Why are you so nervous? She has been eating the food you cooked for a long time. And that person, how can your appetite be reduced? He remembered that someone even ate all his portion.

Wait, Sister Shuangjiang? When did you two take your relationship a step further?

"Brother, today's dishes are left to you." After cleaning the table, Leng Nuan took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen and said to Leng Xu who was following behind. After all, there were guests at home and she had to entertain them.

"Okay..." On weekdays, Leng Xu would occasionally take charge of washing dishes. But today he was a little reluctant. But what could he do? He quietly rolled up his sleeves, put on special dishwashing gloves, and stood in the sink to drain the water.

The fragrant tea drifted into the kitchen. The woman's light and pleasant laughter made people relax.

Leng Xu was washing the dishes while listening attentively. The two people, who were almost a year apart in age, chatted without any sense of disobedience. They talked about everything from daily trivialities to social phenomena, from interpersonal relationships to entertainment gossip.

Qin Shuangjiang was a little surprised. He could tell from their daily interactions that the child was precocious and steady. Although he was naive in some of his words, he was good at listening and analyzing as a chat partner. As the two talked about more topics, Qin Shuangjiang was no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning, and he no longer treated the other person as a child.

"Why do we easily lose our temper with our family members? I think it's because we have too high expectations of them. So once they don't meet our expectations, we become resentful." Leng Nuan took a sip of the hot and fragrant black tea and commented on a news story about a family dispute on TV.

"Nuan Nuan is really amazing." Qin Shuangjiang admired sincerely. It took her a long time to realize this truth.

Humph, that's right, his little Nuan has been smart and sensible since she was a child. Leng Xu, who had finished washing the dishes, sat on the other side of the sofa feeling very proud. But then again, this big guy, you have eaten the meal and drank the tea. Why don't you go back and continue to work hard? Of course, he didn't dare to say such words to his face, he could only say a few words in his heart.

"Speaking of which, Nuannuan, do you have any plans for Christmas?"

"Christmas? Well, not really." Leng Nuan shook her head.

Leng Xu almost spit out a mouthful of tea. No, this isn't how you get there first! It's only the beginning of December.

Qin Shuangjiang quickly asked happily: "Then, can I ask you out that day?"

"Sure." Leng Nuan quickly reviewed her plans for this month in her mind and replied after confirming everything.

"Thank you!" Qin Shuangjiang smiled happily after receiving a positive response.

Leng Xu silently glanced away. He really couldn't bear to look at this person. Where was the girl who was said to be as beautiful as ice and frost? He now expressed some doubts. What did he like about her in the first place?

Seeing this person who was in a good mood and had no intention of going back, Leng Xu looked left and right, trying to think of an excuse that would be reasonable, awkward and polite to drive him away. Take out the trash? No, he might end up taking out the trash, leaving this lonely girl alone in a room.

Take a walk? It seems possible. But wouldn't it be too obvious to chase people away?

"Nuannuan, how did you celebrate Christmas in the past?"

"It's nothing special. My parents are not interested in this. My brother will have a party with his classmates, and I..." As she was talking, Leng Nuan suddenly turned her head and looked at the door. With her sharp ears, she heard the sound of the door lock opening.

Before the other two people in the room could react, the door with white patterns was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Xuzai, Nuanbao, I'm back~ Come quickly, your dad and I bought a lot of gifts!"

Such a powerful voice shocked Qin Shuangjiang. Please forgive her for not having experienced it since she was a child. However, relying on her years of experience, she quickly adjusted her state and put on the best etiquette posture, striving to get the first impression points in front of her future mother-in-law.

"Hey, there are guests." Leng's mother then discovered that there was a beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament standing in her living room, who was totally out of place in her home.

Qin Shuangjiang saw Leng Nuan had already run to the door to get slippers for her parents and help carry things. Then she looked at Leng Xu who was dumbfounded and hadn't reacted yet. Well, Qin Shuangjiang, who still wanted to wait for Leng Xu to introduce her, said that she had to rely on herself.

"Hello, uncle and aunt. My name is Qin Shuangjiang, and I live across the street." Qin Shuangjiang greeted them politely while carefully observing the expressions of the two elders.

"Hey? New neighbor. Hello." Leng's mother greeted warmly. She had not seen the family across the street many times and was not familiar with them. So she did not react to the change of neighbors. After a few pleasantries, Qin Shuangjiang said goodbye and went back. Tonight's action was really beyond her expectations. But overall, she was very satisfied.

"Okay, Xuzi." As soon as the others left, Leng's mother immediately sat next to Leng Xu and asked hurriedly. "Hey, Nuanbao, don't clean it up. Let your dad handle it alone. Come here quickly."

The brother and sister sat side by side, looking at each other with a helpless look on their faces. Well, mom started again.

"Where is that girl from? What does she do? She looks nice. Xuzi, when did you start dating?" Leng's mother asked with shining eyes.

"Stop it, mom. We are not dating. She is just a neighbor and my boss." Leng Xu explained helplessly.

"Tell me quickly. What's going on?"

Leng Xu simply recounted the story. Leng Nuan double-checked it to prevent her imaginative mother from imagining a 100,000-word novel in a minute...

"Hey!" Leng's mother slapped her thigh. She smelled the beautiful and damned sour smell of love!

"I bet that girl is definitely interested in you!"

"No, Mom, things are really not what you imagine."

"Bah, how can you say that about your own mother? She's moving and changing jobs. If she's not interested in you, then she must be interested in your sister!" The cold mother glared at her son in frustration. He's been chasing after such a good girl, but he still doesn't get it. He deserves to be a single dog.

"..." Understanding his mother's disgust, Leng Xu said that he chose to be autistic.
