You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Che originally wanted to keep playing games with Su Qinghe, but as soon as he picked up the mouse, he remembered what his father had just told him: to play fewer games and spend more time with Su Qinghe.

He turned to look at Su Qinghe. The old man was right; he needed to spend more time with her.

Although Su Qinghe appeared outwardly obedient and showed no sign of reluctance to play games with him, Jiang Che already knew her personality well. He knew that even if she didn't like it, she would pretend to like it for him.

Moreover, even if she were willing, Jiang Che wouldn't. It would be a bit unromantic to make a young girl listen to him fight all the time.

So Jiang Che shut down the computer, pulled Su Qinghe, who was full of doubt, out of the bedroom, and plopped down on the sofa in the living room.

After Jiang Che sat down, Su Qinghe tilted her head in his direction, puzzled. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly come to the living room?"

"I don't want to play games anymore, it's boring."

Jiang Che picked up the remote and turned on the TV. "Let me show you something else."

"What are you listening to?" Su Qinghe turned her head curiously.

"Listening to a movie, a comedy, is guaranteed to be more interesting than listening to me play video games."

Jiang Che casually clicked on a recently highly rated comedy movie, turned up the volume a bit, and then continued to act as a human narrator.

"Right now, the male lead is disguised as a waiter, trying to sneak into the banquet to steal something, but his ex-girlfriend recognized him. Look at the way he looks like he wants to disappear into the ground..."

"Haha, he dumped the cake right on someone's head!"

Jiang Che watched and laughed, occasionally giving Su Qinghe a couple of spoilers.

Although Su Qinghe couldn't see the scene, just by listening to the movie's comical background music and Jiang Che's vivid narration, she gradually sketched out the scene in her mind.

She listened attentively, occasionally giggling at the jokes, and then quietly discussed the plot with Jiang Che.

"Was he discovered?"

"He's definitely going to be in trouble, isn't he?"

Jiang Che looked at her smiling face and felt much better. Making her happy was more satisfying than getting a dozen kills in PUBG.

Comrade Xiao Jiang was feeling quite pleased with himself. He casually took an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it, broke off half, and fed it to Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe subconsciously opened her mouth and put it in her mouth. The cool, sweet and sour fruit melted in her mouth, and the sweet juice spread all the way to her heart.

……

After watching the movie, it got dark outside.

Jiang Che stretched, and his stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

"I'm a little hungry. Wait here for me while I go find some snacks to tide me over."

As Jiang Che spoke, he stood up and walked familiarly toward the snack cabinet next to the kitchen.

Su Qinghe sat obediently on the sofa waiting for him to return, but a few seconds later, Jiang Che's puzzled voice came from not far away.

"yeah?"

"What's wrong?" Su Qinghe asked with great concern as soon as she heard the noise.

As Jiang Che walked back, he joked, "It's nothing, we just got robbed."

"Huh? Were we robbed?"

Su Qinghe clearly didn't realize it was a joke, and she immediately tensed up. "Then...then you should call the police! Has anything been stolen? Should we hide first?"

As she spoke, she stood up in a panic, her hands groping wildly in the air, trying to find Jiang Che's location.

If there really is a thief, will Jiang Che be in danger?

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang Che quickly walked back, grabbed her hand that was flailing wildly in mid-air, and pressed her back onto the sofa. "I said you can guard against anything day or night, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family."

"I just wanted to grab a bag of potato chips, but when I opened the cupboard, it was cleaner than my face."

"Then I remembered that a while ago I had a friend's birthday party, and I brought them here to celebrate. These bastards swarmed in like locusts, and they didn't even leave me a bag of spicy strips."

Su Qinghe was stunned for two seconds before realizing that Jiang Che was joking, and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back down.

She let out a long breath and muttered under her breath, a hint of reproach in her voice, "You scared me to death... I thought a real thief had broken in..."

"The security in this neighborhood is so tight, not even a fly can get in, so where would a thief come from?"

Jiang Che flicked her forehead lightly. "Alright, stop sitting there and go put on your coat."

Su Qinghe covered her forehead, looked up blankly, and asked, "Why are you wearing a coat?"

"Going to buy supplies."

Jiang Che said matter-of-factly, "The cabinet is empty, so shouldn't it be filled? Besides, you'll be living here permanently from now on, so this is a good opportunity to get all your daily necessities ready."

Speaking of this, Jiang Che couldn't help but recall what happened at the hospital at noon, and felt even more strongly that the matter of buying daily necessities for Su Qinghe could not be delayed.

"Shall we...go to the supermarket?"

Su Qinghe hesitated for a moment. She touched her phone, and after hearing the time chime, she continued, "But it should be dark by now, right? And I can't see anything. There are a lot of people in the supermarket; it'll just cause you trouble..."

Su Qinghe was very worried that she would embarrass Jiang Che. If she fell down in the supermarket or broke something, people would definitely look at Jiang Che with strange eyes and say that he had brought a blind person out to wander around.

"What trouble are you causing? I'm taking you shopping, not stealing."

Jiang Che didn't give her a chance to refuse. He turned around and went into the bedroom, and came out a moment later with two thick coats.

"Raise your hand."

Su Qinghe obediently raised her arms.

Jiang Che put the down jacket on her and carefully zipped it up to the top, making her look like a round, chubby rice ball.

"I know what you're afraid of."

Jiang Che saw right through Su Qinghe's little scheme: "Isn't it just that you're afraid of bumping into someone, afraid of people seeing you?"

"Don't be afraid with me here. I'm your eyes. If you bump into someone, it's because my navigation went astray, and it has nothing to do with you."

As for how others see you...

Jiang Che paused, then reached out and pinched her soft cheeks, pulling them apart.

"That's because they're jealous of your good looks, and they're also jealous that I have such a beautiful follower."

"Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up, I'm starving."

After saying that, Jiang Che took her small hand, which was wrapped in his sleeve, and pulled her towards the door.

Su Qinghe stumbled along behind him, being pulled along. Feeling the warmth of the boy in her palm, the fear in the girl's heart seemed to have been lessened considerably.

If he's not afraid of losing face, then what is she afraid of?

Just hold on to him.
