On the other side of the water, the lights are dim.

On the opposite side is Binjiang North Road, the street lights along the coast are lit up one after another, like a bright fire, the river on the Bibo Bridge is endless, and the vehicles seem to be surging forever.

Their snack street was also lit up with red lanterns, decorating the whole street with a very dreamy and mundane appearance.

At this time, this place, for them, there is no money, no house, no car, broken love, rising rents, family burdens are all gone, and only the satisfaction of food and clothing remains.

Under the mottled shadows of the trees, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, or the mixed tastes, numbing themselves with alcohol, the halo under the neon billboard falls, sprinkled on their bodies again and again, those who are satisfied with a small sense of food and clothing, in this era that no one cares, small and humble existence.

"Sit here!" Fang Ning pulled Cheng Xi to find a corner with a vacant seat and sat down, beckoning his aunt to come over and clean up the scraps on the table.

Cheng Xi shrank his hand without a trace, and Fang Ning was stunned and scratched his head.

A half-grown boy popped out next to him, his age was about the same as Fang Ning, and he asked Fang Ning what he wanted...... In addition to asking, Yu Guang also secretly glanced at Cheng Xi.

"Do you have any signature snacks here?" Fang Ning asked.

"Yes!" the kid smiled heartily, pointing to the neon billboard with the words of the old lotus root soup shop, "Our lotus root soup here is particularly delicious, stewed with stoneware hangers, the pork ribs are stewed crispy, the tender lotus root is very powdery, take a bite, keep the color and fragrance are complete, you can't stop!"

"How much?"

"A small business, or much, five yuan can hold a big bowl. The kid's posture was very low, and he was not very casual because of his peers, with a smile, "Why don't you have two bowls?"

"Okay!" Fang Ning looked at Cheng Xi again, who nodded slightly.

"Okay, Mom, two bowls of lotus root soup!" the boy shouted.

The fog in the store is steaming, one big pot is frying fried noodles, the flames are swaying, and the other high bone broth stove is burning, and the aroma of bones is spreading, making people smell and drool.

The proprietress is the mother of this kid, she is skillful, holding the cauldron and rolling, holding the monosodium glutamate and other seasonings in her left hand like a goddess scattering flowers into the cauldron, and then repeatedly stir-fry a few times, put the fried noodles on two or three plates, and then wiped the oily apron with her hand, and responded, "Do you want to put shallots?"

Fang Ning had no problem eating green onions, but he didn't know if Cheng Xi could eat them, so he looked at her.

"Not so squeamish. She smiled.

"Put some shallots!"

"Okay, wait a minute. The proprietress answered, turned out two large stoneware bowls from the cupboard, turned around and put them on the edge of the pot, sprinkled the base, and the other hand was not slow, and scooped out the stewed crispy powder lotus root with a spoon from the stoneware hanger, the heat was thick, and another spoon scooped out the high bone soup with meat and bones from the stove, and the meat, bones, lotus root, and soup were all alive.

The proprietress grabbed a pinch of fresh and tender shallots and sprinkled them on top of the stoneware bowl, which was fresh and mellow, fat and crispy, and steaming.

"Please use it slowly!" The kid's sturdy shuttle crowd brought it to the table, and a strong fragrance came from the surface, which made people's appetite wider.

Fang Ning and Cheng Xi exchanged glances, nodded, moved their chopsticks, and savored the deliciousness of this food stall along the river.

After Fang Ning finished eating a bowl, the corners of his forehead were sweating, and after eating, he had a long hiccup, and suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was comfortable.

The whole stomach was filled with satisfaction.

The diners at the surrounding tables are all eating lotus root soup or fried noodles, and the slight burps rise and fall with each other, and the praise is overwhelming.

After Cheng Xi drank the last mouthful of soup, there were only a few meat bones and a little soup residue base left in the stoneware bowl.

She put down the pottery bowl, nodded with satisfaction, burped slightly, seemed to feel that this action was a little indecent, her face was slightly red, and after wiping her lips with a tissue, she saw Fang Ning licking her lips, looking back at the store frequently, with an endless aftertaste on her face.

"Today's PE Class ......"

"Did you see that?" Fang Ning bared his teeth, I don't know if it was because he was full, he wasn't so sad, it wasn't good, it was just a delusion of youth.

Besides, he was not a simple teenager in the first place, he had an old monster hidden in his heart for many years.

It's just that it's his biggest and deepest secret, and no one knows it.

"Hmm. ”

Cheng Xi didn't know what to say, she was originally a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, and it was already rare to worry about someone other than her family for the first time.

That girl must be the one he likes......

She thought to herself, no matter what, there is a person who likes her, and is always proud and happy about it.

"If you're not happy, I can listen to you...... I mean, if you don't want to, it's fine. ”

Fang Ning felt that Cheng Xi was also half of his confidant, so he briefly said about himself and her, and at the end, he sighed, "It seems that I can't force this thing to come, I'd better live my life honestly." ”

It's not that he's a person who gives up easily, but the road ahead is really hopeless.

Maybe it's really fateful!

All the helpless things in this world can be described as fate......

"I don't know if this counts as early love. ”

"You think it's yes, but if it's not, it's not. Cheng Xi strained his face and sat upright.

Fang Ning smiled, he found that Cheng Xi straightened his waist no matter when and where, giving people a strong sense of visual oppression.

"Have you ever had someone you like gone?"

"Me?" she pointed to herself, a little confused, and finally shook her head slowly, "No." ”

"I can see it......" Fang Ning paused, and said in a heartfelt tone: "People like you, in fact, they are not very easy to deal with, they don't eat soft and hard, and they don't like to get along with people, although they have their own goals in life, they don't have many friends to get along with, you are like this." It's so lonely. ”

Cheng Xi glanced at him and didn't refute it, things are indeed as he said, even her closest sister is not very affectionate, let alone an outsider.

"Isn't it uncomfortable now?"

"It's not uncomfortable, at least I have a bunch of heartless friends, at least when I'm frustrated, there is a way to go, someone to comfort. Fang Ning said.

"Then am I your best friend?" Cheng Xihao's teeth were slightly gapped, and his eyes lit up, as if they were glowing!

Fang Ning slightly, he didn't seem to have thought about this problem, in this era of strict defense between men and women, it is simply not too difficult for the opposite sex to become someone's sworn friend or good friend, after all, you are close, in the eyes of parents, teachers and classmates, it is another kind of relationship, and the ambiguity is full of hormones.

He nodded slowly and replied with a smile, "Sort of!"

Cheng Xi nodded undeniably, "It's an honor." ”

"Each other, each other. Fang Ning smiled slightly.

The glow of neon lights fell again, sprinkled on the two of them in circles and circles.

Cool and with the smell of the first sun.
