Chapter 021: It's good to be in pain, and remember it when it hurts
When the two of them have rested enough, they start to process the ingredients, wash the vegetables, put out the meat slices and other ingredients, adjust the dipping sauce, and the two of them sit around the table and wait for the moment when the water boils.
Hot pot is the easiest food technique in the world to operate, pour water into the pot, put the base, wait for the water to boil, put the ingredients into it and start eating, without any technical difficulty, but you can eat a rare delicious, and listen to the gurgling sound of the soup base boiling, looking at the heat coming out, surrounded by the best sisters, experiencing the fireworks that have not been felt for a long time, Su Ying has a kind of warmth and comfort like a family by her side.
Considering the wound on their mouth, they made a mandarin duck pot, although the wound on the mouth was no longer painful, Su Ying still cautiously chose the light side.
Tong Man opened the beer, poured it into the quilt, picked up one of them and handed it to Su Ying.
"Come, cheers to our reunion after a long absence. ”
Su Ying swallowed a bite of mutton slices and took the cup: "Cheers to us to continue living together." ”
"Bang", the glass made a crisp collision sound, and the two people drank the beer in the cup together, although there was no man to drink it all, and there was no fancy persuasion of officialdom, it was a small sip but also with endless joy, with a woman's unique gentleness.
Women's topics are men, men's topics are women, and they are no exception.
"Have you been looking for a boyfriend lately?" asked Su Ying.
"Alas. Tong Man paused, sighed, then picked up a piece of sausage and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Men are all big pigs' trotters, see one and love the other, forget it, don't mention it." ”
Su Ying, as a high-achieving student who graduated from journalism, is definitely more sensitive to news than ordinary people, for such an important signal, the soul of gossip in her body is burning, how can she let it go, so she didn't even care about the slices of meat that waved at her after the pot was cooked, she stopped her chopsticks and looked at Tong Man with a wink: "What's the situation when you hear this?" Tell it to my sister, comfort and comfort me, a woman who has been hacked by a man and has a criminal record, let me be happy." ”
Tong Man looked at her with disgust: "Are you still human, how could I know such a vicious woman as you, the scar I just soothed was uncovered by you again, I was really careless in making friends." ”
"Say it, say it. Su Ying rushed directly to the opposite side, used chopsticks as a weapon, and pressed against Tong Man's neck: "You have news, how dare you not let me be the first to know, do I rape first and then kill, or kill first and then rape?" ”
"Oh, okay, okay, I said okay. Tong Man looked at the oily chopsticks, for fear that she would not be willing to rub on her expensive clothes, so she had to admit it.
Su Ying saw that she finally let go of her, but she didn't go back, just sat on the carpet by her, very intimate.
Tong Man put down the dishes and chopsticks and crossed his legs, falling into memory.
"It was when I was at Yale Law School that I had a fellow party and met a senior who was two years older than me, and I liked him very much, but he had a girlfriend at that time, so I can only be regarded as a crush. When Tong Man said this, he didn't have the usual wind and fire, but he had the shyness of a little woman.
"The relationship is that you have always been unrequited, and then what?" Su Ying listened with relish, hugged the pillow, and urged her to continue.
"Then he graduated, and I didn't ask where he went, so I guess I could forget him faster. Tong Man picked up the wine glass and looked at the yellow liquid inside, she shook it, and a layer of white foam appeared in it, she didn't drink it, just watched the foam disappear little by little.
"Well, time is the best medicine, and then what? Have you forgotten him?" her intuition made Su Ying think that there must be a story between them.
Tong Man nodded: "I forgot about him with heavy schoolwork, and I will come back after graduation." ”
Su Ying rolled her eyes: "Do you want to kill me in a hurry?" ”
"I wanted to forget about him, so I chose to return to China, but the first law firm I found after returning to China was one of the partners, but I didn't know it before, and I found out after I went in, he went to another place at the time, and he came back two months later, and I only found out at that time, and he was also surprised when he saw me. It took me three years to forget about him, and then I saw him in an instant, do you say that it is a creation to make people?" Tong Man looked at Su Ying and asked sadly, with a little tear in his eyes.
"I think you're not destined for it. Su Ying picked up the wine glass and touched it with her, raised her head and drank it all.
"Do you still like him?"
"Hmm. Tong Man nodded and sniffed.
"He's married?"
"No, we broke up. ”
"Then why didn't you tell him? Su Ying looked at her suspiciously, very puzzled.
Tong Man sighed a little helplessly: "He's so good, I always feel unworthy of him, and I don't know if he likes me or not, if not, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be in one place." ”
Su Ying looked at her with some hatred: "Aren't you usually quite confident, how can you fall in love and have such an inferiority complex?" ”
As if remembering something, Tong Man suddenly smiled: "Do you know? When I assigned interns, I gave them to him, but I rejected them. ”
Su Ying sat up directly and glared at her: "Why? Isn't that a good opportunity? Maybe you can fall in love for a long time." Besides, didn't you say that he was very good, and it wasn't a good learning opportunity to be with him, even if you couldn't be together, it would help you in your future career. You're not stupid. While counting, he poked his finger at Tong Man's head.
"Oops, it hurts. Tong Man knocked her away with one hand and rubbed the sore place.
"It's good if it hurts, and remember when it hurts. ”
"Oh, you don't understand. Tong Man looked at the empty wine glass and muttered to himself: "Yes, why?" I don't know, maybe he is too good, but he doesn't dare to get close, just like a star, he can only watch from a distance. ”
Su Ying thought about what she said, and helped her analyze: "I think you mythologized him, but in fact, it may be a stone when you walk in." ”
Tong Man was noncommittal: "Maybe, I put all my fantasies about love on him and beautified him in my mind." ”
"Actually, there is another reason why I don't want to be in a group with him, I can accept anyone's criticism, but if he lectures me and scolds me, I may not be able to stand it, and I may want to maintain a perfect and excellent image in front of him. ”
When Tong Man said these words, Su Ying didn't know why she remembered Ye Jingheng, how could she react so much when she was scolded by him this morning? I didn't do much when I was scolded by others before, do you also want to maintain a good image in front of him? Do I like him? Su Ying was taken aback by her own thoughts, God, don't make such jokes. Besides, he has stripped himself naked, where is there any image to speak of.
