Marrying an old-fashioned scientific researcher

Qi Bai didn't expect Jiang Jianzhi to be so well-informed. What he said nonsense during the day, the other party would ask him at night.

Knowing that it is fake, but still with such a serious appearance.

Thinking of Jiang Jianzhi's jealousy and small-mindedness that he said, Qi Bai's face rarely flashed a trace of uneasiness.

The fake boyfriend he agreed to, he upgraded the relationship between the two without saying a word and became a fiancé. He scratched his neck to cover up a cough:

"You know, just tell Zhao Yuankai."

Jiang Jianzhi looked down at his slender and distinct hand: "You don't have an engagement ring on your hand, does he believe it?"

Although Professor Jiang has no experience, he also knows the normal process of couples getting along - acquaintance, heartbeat, dating, love, proposal, engagement, marriage, and cohabitation.

Qi Bai laughed: "Engagement doesn't necessarily require a ring."

In the elevator, the overhead light spilled down, falling into Qi Bai's eyes and turning into scattered smiles, making it hard to look away for a while.

Jiang Jianzhi looked at his side face, and said slowly:

"In the long run, I suggest you find a real boyfriend."

The fake boyfriend can be concealed for a while, but this is destined to be a fruitless attempt.

Qi Bai smiled nonchalantly: "I'm different from you, I only look at the moment."

He hasn't thought about forming an intimate relationship with anyone yet.

Jiang Jianzhi fell silent after hearing this.

"That's right." Before the elevator jumped to '19', Qi Bai said to Jiang Jianzhi:

"Mr. Jiang, wait for me here for a while, I have something for you."

Qi Bai went home and gave Jiang Jianzhi the painting he had painted long ago.

Jiang Jianzhi took the frame and was obviously taken aback when he saw that he was painted on it.

Not sure if Jiang Jianzhi's realistic character would like this kind of thing, Qi Bai raised his eyelids to watch his reaction, and said:

"Draw it casually when you're bored. If you don't like it, you don't need to put it on display, and you can leave it as dust."

Qi Bai was embarrassed to say that he couldn't see Jiang Jianzhi's ugly and cute WeChat avatar, so he skipped this topic directly:

"I just casually said about the engagement, you don't have to take it to heart, just don't deny it when you see Zhao Yuankai next time."

Qi Bai was afraid that Jiang Jianzhi would reveal his secrets.

He also wanted him not to tell Jiang's father and Jiang's mother about this, but Qi Bai thought about it, even if he didn't mention it, Jiang Jianzhi would definitely not say it.

……

When he got home and closed the door, Qi Bai couldn't help but raised his hands and rubbed his face, thinking of the look Jiang Jianzhi had looked at him just now.

It's just a gift to send a painting, so nervous!

Downstairs, Jiang Jianzhi went straight into the study room, and the painting Qi Bai gave him was placed on the low cabinet against the wall without dust.

There are a wall of books in his study, ranging from professional books to pathological life.

Professor Jiang firmly believes that everything that happens in life has a theoretical basis, and everything can be explained by science.

But Professor Jiang scanned through the books on the wall of the bookshelf, but he couldn't find any book that could explain the reason for the soreness and fullness in his heart at this time.

Jiang Jianzhi, who couldn't find any references, set his sights on the warm and sunny painting, which didn't match the dull and serious style of the study.

Unexplainable strange emotions filled his chest, Professor Jiang slowly raised his hand and pressed his heart.

From the moment he saw this painting, his heart beat a little faster.

But it is not a malfunction of the body function, a pathological arrhythmia.

Professor Jiang encountered a problem that he couldn't solve now, and he didn't even know the root cause.

No.

The corners of the man's lips pursed unconsciously when he delivered the painting flashed in his mind, and Jiang Jianzhi lowered his eyes in thought——

The source should be clear.

***

On the day of the winter solstice, Qi Bai originally wanted to ask Jiang Yi to eat mutton hot pot, but the other party said that he had an appointment to make dumplings with Canary at home.

Qi Bai suspected that he heard it wrong: "Make dumplings? You?"

"Who do you look down on?" President Jiang felt underestimated, so he pointed the camera at the dining table and showed him the dumplings: "I made them all!"

The voiceover is Yu Qinchuan's gentle smile: "It's very cute."

Looking at those crooked and appalling dumplings, Qi Bai: "..."

This is probably because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Seeing Qi Bai's complex expression, Jiang Yi showed him a clear path: "You can go with your fiancé, you are so close."

Jiang Yi also knew about Qi Bai and Jiang Jianzhi's 'engagement'. He laughed for a long time and said that Zhao Yuankai's expression must have been wonderful.

Until now, Jiang Yi often teases Qi Bai about her fiancé.

Qi Baidang didn't hear this address, and said: "Is he at work?"

Jiang Yi was more puzzled than him: "You ask me, who am I asking? Go down and see for yourself."

Mr. Jiang was busy making dumplings and didn't want to talk too much, so Qi Bai decisively hung up the video.

"Seeing and forgetting friends."

The winter solstice is a festival, and one should not be too perfunctory, so Qi Bai put on his coat and prepared to go to the supermarket.

The stock in his refrigerator also needs to be replenished.

The elevator closed and then stopped quickly. Sensing someone coming in, Qi Baitou, who was looking down and swiping his phone, moved to the side without raising his head to make room.

The elevator continued to descend, and the people who came in after were very quiet. After a while, with a 'ding' sound, the elevator door opened again.

The bow-headed Qi Bai walked out.

"Qi Bai."

Qi Bai's footsteps stopped suddenly.

A soft sigh came from behind: "This is the tenth floor."

Turning his head to look, Qi Bai saw Jiang Jianzhi standing in the elevator, looking at him helplessly.

Qi Bai was immersed in his own world, and didn't notice that the person who came in just now was an acquaintance.

Glancing at the red '10' on the display screen, Qi Bai retreated into the elevator in two steps, put the phone back in his pocket, and said as if nothing had happened:

"Didn't go to work today?"

When Jiang Jianzhi came in, he stared at Qi Bai, wanting to see when this man would look up from his phone and find himself.

But he didn't want Qi Bai to bow his head the whole time and almost go to the wrong floor.

Professor Jiang opened his mouth just as he was about to speak, when a sofa suddenly came in from outside the elevator.

Before Qi Bai could react, someone pulled his arm forcefully, and the next second, the tip of his nose hit Jiang Jianzhi's chin, making the bridge of his nose sore, and he let out a muffled groan.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Two men in overalls poked their heads out from the heavy and bulky sofa:

"I covered my eyes and didn't see it, didn't I bump into it?"

A resident on the [-]th floor bought a sofa online. When the sofa was delivered to the door for inspection, he found that the color was wrong, so he had to return it.

The sofa took up space, and the two of them didn't pay attention when they were lifting the sofa. The sofa legs almost hit Qi Bai, whose back was facing the elevator door. Fortunately, Jiang Jianzhi had a quick eye and gave him a quick hand to save him.

Qi Bai rubbed his sore nose, tore himself off Jiang Jianzhi's chest, and shook his head at the staff: "It's okay."

The elevator car in Yuelan Mansion is larger than ordinary ones, but the space is limited——

The sofa is placed in the middle and takes up most of the space, and four grown men can only stand squeezed together.

Two men in overalls were standing outside holding the sofa, while Jiang Jianzhi and Qi Bai were squeezed inside.

In front of Qi Bai was the sofa, and behind him was Jiang Jianzhi. The legs of the sofa were stuck in front of his eyes. Qi Bai could only lean back slightly in order not to hit him.

Now the two of them were almost stuck to their chests and backs, unable to move an inch.

The space is too cramped to move, but Qi Bai is the one who is more and more itchy and uncomfortable the more he is not allowed to do anything. It is too difficult to keep the posture of leaning back, and he couldn't help but move his feet back a few centimeters.

Qi Bai: "..."

The heel touched the tip of Jiang Jianzhi's shoe, Qi Bai frowned and moved back silently.

At this moment, seconds are like years.

Behind him, Jiang Jianzhi stood upright, with his back close to the elevator, and Qi Bai stood in front of him, looking from the side, it seemed that he was holding Qi Bai in his arms intimately.

In the elevator, only two staff members were talking quietly, saying that it would take a lot of work to carry the sofa to the car later, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

On the innermost side, Jiang Jianzhi looked down at the fair nape of Qi Bai's exposed neck.

Qi Bai moved, and a bunch of long hair fell on Jiang Jianzhi's shoulder, and then slid down gently along the curvature of the shoulder, leaving only a few slender strands, entangled with Jiang Jianzhi's coat.

will not fall.

They were too close, they breathed and heard each other, and neither of them spoke for a while.

The sofa had to be unloaded in the underground garage, and Qi Bai and Jiang Jianzhi had to go downstairs, so when the elevator stopped on the first floor, the staff went out to make room for it, and Qi Bai turned sideways to squeeze out.

No, no squeeze.

Jiang Jianzhi hugged Qi Bai's shoulders to stabilize him, and his height advantage allowed Jiang Jianzhi to look over the sofa and look at the staff outside the elevator:

"Go to the garage, we'll come up after you get off."

When he spoke, Qi Bai could clearly feel his warm breath.

Tilting his head, he glanced at Jiang Jianzhi's hand that was loosely protecting him, Qi Bai habitually pursed his lower lip, and did not insist on squeezing it out.

The staff originally planned to move the sofa out, let Qi Baijiang Jianzhi go out first, and then move in. Hearing this, he nodded immediately:

"Then trouble you."

When the two came out of the elevator, Qi Bai unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist.

His hair swayed behind him with his movements. Jiang Jianzhi stared at it for two seconds and asked:

"To the studio?"

Qi Bai shook his head: "Go to the supermarket to buy something."

After speaking, Qi Bai asked Jiang Jianzhi where he was going at this time, and raised his eyebrows after getting the answer:

"It's such a coincidence that we can be together."

He didn't expect Jiang Jianzhi to go to the supermarket as well.

Jiang Jianzhi let out a soft 'hmm'.

When he arrived at the supermarket, Qi Bai pushed the cart and went straight to the snack area. After walking two steps, he remembered that there was someone beside him, so he turned to look at Jiang Jianzhi:

"Mr. Jiang, what do you want to buy?"

Qi Bai thinks that they are all big men, there is no reason to go shopping together in a supermarket, and if Jiang Jianzhi wants to go shopping in other districts, they can part ways at the door.

Professor Jiang, who has always had a clear goal: "... just take a look."

So the two went to the snack area together.

Qi Bai chose a lot of snacks such as yogurt potato chips, marinated jerky and other snacks. Seeing that Jiang Jianzhi frowned and didn't buy anything, he picked up a pack of cucumber-flavored potato chips and recommended them to him:

"this is delicious."

Professor Jiang was not interested in snacks. Seeing that Qi Bai had chosen half a carload of snacks and drinks, which were colorful, he shook his head and couldn't help asking:

"How long are you going to eat these?"

Qi Bai glanced at it, and answered casually, "Not sure, maybe a week?"

Jiang Jianzhi: "..."

Professor Jiang may not have eaten so many snacks in the previous 26 years.

In the small appliance area, the salesperson is strongly recommending the automatic cooking machine:

"Our machine can fry, fry, stew, and fry. It has complete functions. Just pour the ingredients in and cover it, press the button, and then you don't need to worry about it. You can do other things, and you can wait until the dishes are done. , quite time-saving and labor-saving, and the heat has been scientifically tested, and the taste of the dishes is no worse than that of hotel chefs!"

"If you buy it today, you will get a free homemade recipe and a set of knives. It is simple and easy to use, whether it is the elderly, children or kitchen beginners. It is convenient and fast, and it includes education and training!"

The salesperson was selling and explaining the operation, surrounded by a large circle of people, Qi Bai glanced at it and then looked away indifferently, complaining to Jiang Jianzhi:

"No soul."

Qi Bai didn't get a response after complaining, and Qi Bai turned his head in doubt, and saw Jiang Jianzhi who had fallen behind at some point, standing on the periphery of the crowd looking at the cooking machine.

Qi Bai: "...?"

Jiang Jianzhi is tall and has long legs, and he can clearly see the center of the scene from the outside. His expression is indifferent, but his eyes are very focused.

Seeing him stagnant, Qi Bai was silent for two seconds, then retreated.

Jiang Jianzhi was watching, when he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged lightly, he lowered his head, facing Qi Bai's complicated face.

Qi Bai looked at him: "Mr. Jiang, you don't want to buy this stuff, do you?"

Jiang Jianzhi said calmly, "You don't have to do it yourself, it saves time."

Qi Bai gasped: "Are you serious?"

The self-service cooking machine sounds like a tasteless product.

Frying, stewing, boiling, and frying sound nice, but if you put all the seasonings in at once, it's no wonder that the taste is good.

Five-star hotel chefs still pay attention to cooking with hot oil and the order of ingredients.

However, Jiang Jianzhi's eyes told Qi Bai that he really wanted to buy it.

Qi Bai: "..."

Jiang Jianzhi continued, "I'll also send you the recipe."

Qi Bai tried to save it: "Chopping vegetables is also a waste of time."

Just like Jiang Jianzhi's posture of chopping a potato for seven to eight minutes, his vegetables are chopped, and other people's dishes are also fried.

Jiang Jianzhi pointed to the set of knives presented as a gift. There are tools to assist in cutting vegetables, and the cuts are kept in the same thickness to cure obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Watching Jiang Jianzhi put the semicircular cooking machine into the shopping cart, Qi Bai said, "..."

He doesn't want to talk.

***

I bought all the cooking machines, so it’s obviously unreasonable not to buy a la carte and try it out.

For this reason, Jiang Jianzhi even brought back a set of bowls and chopsticks and various seasonings.

Qi Bai was also curious about the taste of the dishes cooked by pure machines, so he went back to Jiangjian's home together.

To be on the safe side, the two first tried a simple vinegared shredded potato that was not easy to overturn. Professor Jiang strictly followed the recipe's dosage. When adding the seasoning, he only needed an electronic scale and a measuring cup to measure it.

The cooking machine has a strong firepower and cooks quickly.

Professor Jiang glanced at the time and expressed satisfaction: "The speed is very fast."

Qi Bai took a bite with the chopsticks, then spat it into the trash can with a sullen face, expressing his disgust: "Dogs don't even eat it."

The potatoes are so raw!

Qi Bai put down his chopsticks, and tried to make Jiang Jianzhi respect the brand-new gas stove beside him: "It's just frying shredded potatoes, use that, and heat it up for 3 minutes."

Jiang Jianzhi: "..."

Professor Jiang suffered Waterloo the first time he entered the kitchen.

Qi Bai looked at the vegetables the two bought, and asked Jiang Jianzhi, "How about cooking upstairs?"

The kitchen of Qi Bai's house is not a decoration. It is still possible for him to cook home-cooked dishes. The taste is not very good, but it is definitely not unpalatable.

Jiang Jianzhi raised his head to look at him upon hearing the words, "Will it trouble you too much?"

Qi Bai didn't care: "It's about having an extra pair of chopsticks."

Anyway, he was cooking alone.

Jiang Jianzhi thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement, and began to pack his things.

Qi Bai saw that he even took the bowls, chopsticks, and seasonings together, so he quickly stopped: "I don't need these, I have them at home."

Jiang Jianzhi raised his hand to push the glasses, and said quietly: "I don't need them here, and they are expired."

Jiang Jianzhi's tone was so natural and calm that Qi Bai didn't notice anything wrong, so he nodded:

"Yes, then take them together."

Qi Bai went upstairs first, leaving Jiang Jianzhi to tidy up the kitchen, disposing of the unwanted shredded potatoes and cooking machine.

After packing up everything, Jiang Jianzhi didn't hesitate to put the cooking machine that he had only used once on the top of the cabinet, and then went upstairs.

***

【Craftsman】:? ? ? ?Jiang Jianzhi has been having dinner with you these days?

[Qi Baishi divides white]: Well, he is not busy with work recently and comes back early every day, so we ate together.

[Crafter]: [Squint your eyes and realize that something is wrong.jpg]

Jiang Yi made a video call to Qi Bai, and the first sentence he said was: "There is something wrong with you."

Qi Bai, who was painting, had two minds: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yi narrowed her eyes: "Since when did your relationship get so good?"

According to Yu Qinchuan, Jiang Jianzhi was not the kind of person who would go to other people's houses for dinner several times.

Qi Bai briefly told Jiang Yi about Jiang Jianzhi's purchase of a cooking machine, and finally said:

"He helped me so much, it's just a meal, what's the fuss about?"

"..." Jiang Yi couldn't help asking: "...friend, do you still remember that you like men?"

Qi Bai: "?"

It's hard for Jiang Yi not to think: "Jiang Jianzhi doesn't really like you, does he?"

Qi Bai sneered, and said angrily, "Why are you still thinking about this?"

In Qi Bai's view, Jiang Jianzhi couldn't be more straightforward. Although they had a few meals together, they were just simple meal friends.

Knowing that Jiang Jianzhi would leave every time he washed the dishes and would not stay at Qi Bai's house any longer, Jiang Yiyu was skeptical:

"Isn't this putting a long line to catch big fish?"

Qi Bai put down the capacitor pen in his hand: "Can you stop looking at Renji?"

Qi Bai hated washing dishes, Jiang Jianzhi cleaned up his kitchen every day, it looked like new, and he felt much happier when he entered the kitchen.

It's not easy to control the amount of cooking for one person, and there are always leftovers, but two people don't have such worries.

From all aspects, Qi Bai is very satisfied with Jiang Jianzhi as a fan friend.

Qi Bai has never lacked suitors since he was a child, and he has seen many people of all kinds. Whether a person is interested in him or not, his self-confidence can still tell.

Qi Bai thinks that Jiang is thinking too much: "In two days, I will go abroad with the old man."

Jiang Yi's attention was instantly diverted: "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

Qi Bai said a place name, and then said: "Go to see the exhibition, by the way..."

Thinking of what Professor Nian said at the time, Qi Bai smiled before continuing: "Expand your horizons and get to know more people."

The last time Professor Nian took him to a gathering in the circle, Professor Nian asked Qi Bai once about going abroad, and he decided to go.

Jiang Yi: "When will you be back?"

"I don't know." Qi Bai said: "The art exhibition will be held for a week, and according to the old man's opinion, I have to go around the surrounding cities, so it's like a sketch."

Jiang Yi asked him if he could come back before the New Year, Qi Bai paused for a moment, and then said:

"It's the same whether you come back or not, let's talk."

Jiang Yi was silent when she heard the words, and it took a while before she opened her mouth cautiously: "Xiaobai, are you...won't you go back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Why go back?" Qi Bai laughed, but the faint smile didn't reach his eyes, and his words were sarcasm:

"Go back and see their family having fun, shall I applaud them?"

Jiang Yi stopped talking.

Regarding Qi Bai's family situation, Jiang Yi actually doesn't know much, he only knows that his parents divorced when he was a child, and Qi Bai followed his father.

Now that his father is remarried, Qi Bai seems to have a half brother.

However, since Qi Bai University rarely went home for four years, and never asked his family for living expenses, he knew that his relationship with his family was not very good.

As for Qi Bai's biological mother, Jiang Yi had never heard him mention it.

I don't know the inside story, and I didn't rush to ask.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Qi Bai obviously didn't want to talk too much about this topic, and the two chatted a few words about going abroad before hanging up the video.

……

Qi Bai and Professor Nian were not the only ones who went abroad to see the exhibition this time. There were more than a dozen people traveling with them. Two of them had works in the exhibition and hoped to win one or two awards.

Before boarding the plane, Qi Bai remembered an important thing - he forgot to tell Jiang Jianzhi about going abroad.

Fortunately, now that he already has a friend of the other party, it is much easier to contact, Qi Bai sent a message to Jiang Jianzhi.

The general idea is that I am away from home recently, and my fan friends temporarily disbanded.

Knowing that Jiang Jianzhi would definitely receive the news, Qi Bai turned off his computer and boarded the plane after sending the message.

Jiang Jianzhi was in class when Qi Bai sent the message, and when Professor Jiang saw his message, it was almost two hours later.

Seeing the words 'return date uncertain', Jiang Jianzhi frowned slightly, and was typing to reply to the message when Jiang's mother called.

Mother Jiang went around a few circles first, and finally expressed her intention of coming:

"Son, Nantah University will be on winter vacation before New Year's Day, and there will be nothing to do in the institute then. Do you have time to come back during the Chinese New Year?"

Before Jiang Jianzhi could answer, Jiang's father's voice came from the phone again:

"And Xiaobai, is Xiaobai free? You two come back to celebrate the New Year together."

Jiang Jianzhi: "...he won't come back."

Jiang's mother couldn't hide her disappointment and said 'ah': "Does he have no time or does he want to go back to his house?"

Father Jiang said bluntly, "Then you go back with Xiaobai?"

Jiang Jianzhi: "...?"

Jiang's mother over there heard the words and said: "That's right, you and Xiaobai can go back to his house. After all, you will live together. Where do the in-laws and the others live? Is it far from Nanfeng City?"

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother didn't give Jiang Jianzhi a chance to speak at all. You said something to me, and soon you will celebrate the new year from where, and when it comes to what Jiang Jianzhi will prepare when he goes back with Qi Bai, in a word, it's just one sentence—— —

The etiquette must be thoughtful, not rude, and leave a good impression on Qi Bai's family.

Hearing them talk further and further away, Jiang Jianzhi finally interrupted the beautiful imagination of the two elders:

"His family doesn't know about us yet."

In fact, Professor Jiang didn't even know how many people there were in Qi Bai's family.

After Jiang Jianzhi finished speaking, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother on the other end of the phone were stunned. It took a long time before Jiang's mother's voice came:

"I don't know? It shouldn't be. Didn't Xiaobai say that he had already told his family about you and his family didn't care about him?"

Jiang Jianzhi: "?"

Jiang's father also said: "Yes, otherwise, your mother and I would not let you rush back with Xiaobai."

Jiang Jianzhi: "???"

After not hearing Jiang Jianzhi's words for a long time, Mother Jiang hesitated:

"Such a big thing, son...you don't know?"

The author has something to say:

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother: Don't you know if you hit me?

Professor Jiang: ...
