Qixi Festival
On Lin Qingyu’s first Qixi Festival in modern times, Jiang Xing made a perfect date plan in order to give Lin Qingyu a firsthand experience of the sweetness of their married life.
The first stop on their date was the zoo and then the amusement park. Jiang Xing had a great plan. They’d first feed the giraffes and then take a look at the giant pandas. At night, when the fireworks in the amusement park are set off, he and Lin Qingyu will kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel. It was all very romantic.
After lunch, the two of them sent Shen Huaishi off to his summer football interest class. They then set off according to their original plan.
The moment they left the range of the air conditioner, waves of heat rushed towards them. It was as though they were standing before the external exhaust of an air conditioner. The road seemed to warp under the high temperature. They stood before a volcano, one looking at the other and the other looking right on back, looking at each other blankly.
Jiang Xing took out his phone and checked the temperature: 41.5°C.
Jiang Xing: “...”
Lin Qingyu: “...”
Fortunately, Shen Huaishi’s football interest class had air conditioning.Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xing said, “Qingyu, should we still go to the zoo?”
Saying “Should we still go?” before a date usually meant only thing: they were trying to cancel.
...The power of nature is too scary; able to turn his amazing wife into a house-bound beauty who just wants to stay at home.
“I can ask. But Qingyu, it’s the Qixi Festival.” Jiang Xing hesitated, “Qixi is a day for lovers. We can’t just stay at home and spend it doing nothing special. — Of course, I don’t have to go out. I’ll go with whatever you want.”
Lin Qingyu said, “Since I’ve arrived here, you’ve taken me out for Christmas, New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, our anniversary, Valentine’s Day, White Day, my birthday, 520, Children’s Day, 618 mid-year promotion... ...Every time — no, every day is like Qixi. It’s enough.” Lin Qingyu paused, “If you don’t want to pass the day without doing anything, then let’s sleep together tonight and I’ll have you work til you’re tired.”
Is there such a good thing?
Jiang Xing couldn’t believe it. His eyes, as he looked at Lin Qingyu, was clearly saying: ‘What kind of fantastical wife is this? Thank the Heavens for this gift!’
Lin Qingyu asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Jiang Xing smiled and grabbed Lin Qingyu’s shoulders, walking him back in. “Let’s go, Baobei. Laogong will turn on the air conditioner, order you the most expensive takeaway and milk tea and then buy a set of lab equipment online—— How about I buy you a white lab coat and gloves too? Tonight, we can hide from Huaishi in our room and you can show me how you look wearing them...”
Lin Qingyu smiled slightly. “Okay.”
