On the way back to the apartment, Lin Zi remembered that he had a McDonald's with Zhuang Yijun at noon, and he hadn't had dinner until now!

So I decided to go to the Chinatown neighborhood to eat a bowl of mutton noodles.

The restaurant is located next to the Chinatown Stadium near the B/D subway station, and the young foreigners who come to eat on weekdays are all from the neighborhood.

Seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the most crowded time, because the store is not large, you have to queue up late.

As soon as Lin Zitan entered the door this night, he saw that the proprietress was busy cleaning up a table that had just been cleared.

As soon as they saw him, they smiled and walked towards him.

Lin Zitan occasionally comes over for a supper at night, I don't know if there are not many Chinese people who love to eat stewed noodles in this area.

It's still good for Lin Zitan to tip on weekdays, and the proprietress is very enthusiastic about him every time he comes.

"Come on~ There is a seat today, you can sit here. The proprietress pointed to the large table that had just been cleared.

"Okay, thank you boss lady~" Lin Zitan nodded and walked towards the table that the boss lady pointed to.

"What do you want to eat today?" Lin Zitan had just sat down when he heard the proprietress say enthusiastically.

"A bowl of mutton stewed noodles, add a meat bun!" Lin Zitan glanced at the menu posted on the wall, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, come right away~" The proprietress said and went inside.

At the moment, there were quite a lot of people in the small shop, and it was buzzing with young people talking while eating.

Lin Zitan glanced away, and there was no Chinese.

Just as I was thinking that most of the people living near Chinatown were southerners, and there weren't many people who liked to eat braised noodles, I heard the wind chimes jingle in front of the restaurant.

Lin Zitan raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were a little deeper, and the person who came was a slightly tall Chinese man, holding a girl in his hand, this girl was none other than Lin Shan, the eldest daughter of Lin Guodong's cousin in his previous life, --- Lin Shan.

Lin Shan was also stunned when she saw him.

The two of them haven't seen each other since the summer vacation before college, even though Lin Zitan's mobile phone has changed several times.

She still has her phone number in her address book, but she never thought to dial it.

"Welcome~" The crisp voice of the proprietress sounded behind Lin Zitan.

At this time, the tables in the store are all full, only Lin Zitan can sit down at the table here.

So the proprietress brought the two of them over without saying a word.

"Little brother, the store is small, can these two share a table with you?" asked the proprietress with a smile.

"Of course you can~" Lin Zitan said with a generous smile.

"Thank you~" The boy next to Lin Shan thanked Lin Zitan when he sat down.

"Long time no see. Lin Shan waited for her boyfriend to finish speaking, and nodded to Lin Zi.

"You're welcome, long time no see, this is your boyfriend?"

Lin Zitan looked at Lin Shan, and then looked at the boy who raised his eyebrows slightly because of Lin Shan's sentence that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and said softly,

"Yes, my boyfriend David, David, this one is... My former classmates. ”

Lin Shan only remembered at this moment that her acquaintance with Lin Zitan was only due to one of Michelle's boyfriends, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm glad I'll be lucky~" The boy named David said hurriedly.

Lin Zitan heard that his accent was probably from G Province or Hong Kong and Taiwan, but this had nothing to do with him, but the boy asked Lin Shan with concern if he wanted to take some drink first,

Then he diligently went to the cabinet where the proprietress put the drinks, and went to help Lin Shan bring the drinks.

"How are you doing?" Lin Shan said softly after her boyfriend walked away.

"I'm fine, is your family okay?~" Lin Zitan smiled slightly and said softly.

"Thank you for your concern, they are all very good~"

The corners of Lin Shan's eyes were a little enlarged because of surprise, she didn't expect Lin Zitan to care about his family.

When Lin Shan's boyfriend came back, Lin Zitan's food was already ready, and the crispy sandwich cake was filled with the fresh fragrance of braised pork and coriander.

A bowl of hot braised noodles is also placed in a huge white porcelain bowl, which looks very filling.

"Then I'll eat first~" Lin Zitan raised his head and said hello to the two.

"Okay, you eat first~" Lin Shan's boyfriend said with a sincere smile.

Lin Zitan developed a habit of eating without hurry because of the stomach ulcer in the past, so even if Lin Shan, who was sitting awkwardly opposite, he didn't embarrass himself, and ate as usual.

Lin Shan's boyfriend quietly said something to Lin Shan after ordering the meal, and then went out, leaving only the two of them on the table for a while.

Lin Zitan was suddenly infected by Lin Shan's embarrassment.

After less than two minutes, I heard Lin Shan say softly, "Have you heard about Michelle?"

She left Chinatown with his mom, and no one knows where they went. ”

As if he was sure that Lin Zitan must know, Lin Shan finished what he wanted to say in one go.

"Uh, is it?" Lin Zitan answered calmly, and then continued to eat his own things silently.

He remembered Liu Fugui, who was caught by Zhang Jing some time ago, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart made him lose his appetite to continue eating for a while.

Lin Zitan didn't tell Lin Shan that he and Zhang Jing had taught Michelle a hard lesson, and he didn't think it was necessary.

Doing this by himself is not because he ZT is Michelle, he is simply disdainful of this kind of scum, but mentioning these people again, these things will only make him feel unappetizing.

"I've eaten well, you eat slowly. Lin Zitan pushed one-third of the stewed noodles he had eaten to the side, and nodded to Lin Shan when he got up.

"Boss, count the money~" Lin Zitan deliberately ignored Lin Shan's slightly embarrassed expression, and said loudly to the proprietress who was busy inside.

"It's coming~" The proprietress walked out of it, holding Lin Shan's meal in her hand, and only after setting it up did she turn around and count the money for Lin Zi.

"How many? with them. Lin Zitan asked softly.

"Oh, I'll do the math~" The proprietress found Lin Zitan's list and added Lin Shan's and the two together.

"38 yuan five, you just give 38~" The proprietress said with a smile.

Lin Zitan took out two 20 sheets from his wallet, flipped through them again, found a 5 yuan one, threw it on the counter, and said thank you.

"Oh, thank you~ Welcome to the next time~" The proprietress said in a crisp voice.

When she walked up to Lin Shan, her boyfriend had already returned, so Lin Zitan nodded to the two of them again and left the restaurant quickly.

---------------------------

On the way back to his residence, Lin Zitan took a deep breath at the early autumn night.

thought that he had used Lin Shan's brother to contact Lin Guodong before, and now Lin Guodong's side has already broken contact.

He really didn't expect to meet Lin Shan, as if he didn't want to face the self who had escaped from the world and chose to commit suicide.

Lin Zitan is still occasionally afraid to face the fact that time flies, and the summer night in 2013 is coming.

It's like getting used to a life of opulence and not wanting to go back to the abyss of poverty.

The reason why he has been struggling to move forward like an ascetic all these years, trying to find ways to make money,

I make a lot of money, I hope that when that day comes, even if God uses those hands that turn the clouds and rain,

Beat him back to his original form, as long as he can survive, he can have enough capital and enough courage to continue living.

"Jingle bell~" A crisp bell interrupted his chaotic thoughts.

Lin Zitan took out his mobile phone, which was about to run out of battery, and saw Elsa's name flashing on the display.

This woman is like a dream that will wake up at any time, although it is very beautiful when she is drunk, but her imminent departure also makes him always vigilant,

Everything good now, like this woman, will leave him at any time, so he must be fully mentally prepared as early as possible!
