Chapter 144: Ultraman does not exist
The saying goes, "Those who stay close to vermilion are stained red; those near ink are stained black." Spending so much time with Xu Qing, Jiang He inevitably started adopting some of his calm indifference toward certain matters. Even when she discovered the suspicious possibility that Xu Qing had secretly worn stockings, she didn’t react unusually. If it had been a few months ago, she would have looked incredulous and asked outright, “Why would you wear something meant for girls?”
Respecting others’ quirks is a way to protect oneself. Otherwise, Xu Qing might fly into a rage and forcibly make her wear them, taking the opportunity to tease her legs.
After breakfast, Jiang He sat at the table and began studying the computer—not playing, but genuinely studying. She was intensely curious about this modern treasure. Not only did she want to learn how to operate it, but sometimes she even entertained the idea of taking it apart to examine its internal components. It was just a thought for now; she wasn’t confident she could reassemble it if she did.
“What are you thinking about?”
Occasionally glancing back, Jiang He noticed Xu Qing doing nothing—or rather, doing just one thing: sitting quietly and staring at her back, seemingly lost in thought.
“I’m reminiscing about last night’s dream,” Xu Qing answered honestly.
“What did you dream about?”
“Something really interesting.”
