Chapter 60: Reminiscences of Childhood
Twenty minutes later, the two came to a small shop that specializes in making small fried chestnuts.
"This is it. Chen Mengran pointed to the shop sign of the small fried chestnuts on the shop pΓΉ.
Chen Mengran took the lead and walked in, with a fan-like old customer posture. In fact, this was his first time in this store, and as for the location, Nie Yun gave him guidance.
"Boss, here's a bag of fried chestnuts. Chen Mengran pretended to be familiar.
"Okay. The boss skillfully filled him with a bag.
With chestnuts in hand, the two walked out of the storefront, walked to a less crowded place in the park, and sat on a wooden chair.
"Taste, it's definitely the taste of before. Chen Mengran handed the chestnuts to Meng Xiaoqian.
Having said that, there is no spectrum in his heart, his words and deeds are all secretly instructed by Nie Yun, and even this little fried chestnut is his designated store, as for whether it is in line with the taste of the year, he has no bottom in his heart.
"Is it really the taste of the year?" Chen Mengran asked Nie Yun uneasily.
What he got was Nie Yun's chuckle and scolding.
"The taste of, the taste of ten years ago who remembers. The so-called taste is not the taste of the chestnuts themselves, but the taste of childhood anecdotes, as long as you eat while recalling the interesting stories of the year, the taste will naturally come back. β
Chen Mengran felt that it made sense, took out a chestnut, and was not in a hurry to peel it, and said with a look of remembrance on his face: "I still remember that there were only one or two chestnuts in each person's hand, so I cherish it extraordinarily." Everyone is not in a hurry to eat, they all hope that others will eat first and then watch themselves eat. For this reason, everyone is very slow to peel off the skin. After peeling it off, hold it in your hand and nibble it a little bit. Take a bite and see how well others eat. β
As he spoke, Chen Mengran carefully peeled off the skin. Looking at Meng Xiaoqian again, she is also peeling her skin carefully like him. After the skin was peeled off, Chen Mengran was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Meng Xiaoqian with a solemn face, he was very nervous at this time, for fear that Meng Xiaoqian would taste something different, if he really exposed his lies on the spot, that qiΔ plan would be ruined.
saw Meng Xiaoqian take a small bite lightly, chewing slowly, while showing an expression of memory. After swallowing all the small pieces, Meng Xiaoqian nodded and said, "You didn't lie to me, the taste really hasn't changed, it's exactly the same as when I was a child." β
Chen Mengran breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his back had been wet with cold sweat. Secretly scolded damn, and was scared to eat a chestnut.
"I've reassured you a long time ago, it's you who scare yourself, who can you rely on. Nie Yun teased.
Chen Mengran also began to taste the chestnuts in his hand with peace of mind, and found that the taste was good, but compared with ten years ago, it really couldn't compare to anything. As Nie Yun said, who will remember the taste of ten years ago.
"You know, in fact, Qi Yun doesn't like to eat chestnuts. Chen Mengran said.
"Oh. Meng Xiaoqian had already finished eating one, and was about to peel another one, when she heard this, she put down the work in her hand and looked at Chen Mengran with a surprised expression. Although he didn't say anything, his expression seemed to tell why.
"That's what he said to me personally. He said that he doesn't like to eat chestnuts, but he likes to watch his classmates eat them, and he especially likes that his classmates feel satisfied when they look satisfied after eating chestnuts. β
"I see. Meng Xiaoqian sighed, and said with affection in her eyes: "He is such a person, he is willing to share any good things, even if he doesn't like it, he has to take care of everyone's preferences." β
"Yes, he is such a person, and I can't forget him after so long. Chen Mengran agreed, and then kept talking, "Actually, I don't like to eat chestnuts either. But every time I was in front of him, I would pretend to love it. Because seeing him satisfied, I was also satisfied. β
Meng Xiaoqian's eyes were full of brilliance, and she looked at Chen Mengran with a flickering face, at this moment, the person in front of her vaguely had something in common with someone in her heart.
Enjoying the gaze of the goddess, Chen Mengran acted as if he didn't see it, just chewing chestnuts intently, looking into the distance calmly.
This was once again praised by Nie Yun.
"Well done, that's all. β
Meng Xiaoqian withdrew her eyes, and after more than ten seconds of staring, she separated the other party from the person in her heart, and wondered why she looked at a man with such eyes.
In this way, neither of them spoke, and ate chestnuts intently.
When the bag of chestnuts was eaten, Meng Xiaoqian stood up from the wooden chair.
A bag of chestnuts stirred up too many memories for her, but there was a moment when the chestnuts were eaten, and of course there was a moment when the memories were exhausted.
"Thank you for being with me, you remind me of a lot, a lot of childhood things. She wanted to say a lot about Qi Yun, but she felt that it was difficult to say, so she had to change her words temporarily.
Chen Mengran knew the meaning of her words, but pretended not to understand, and also stood up and stretched. Said: "I want to thank you, thank you for accompanying me to remember my childhood friends." β
Meng Xiaoqian lowered her head and was silent for a while, she wanted to say that it was also my childhood best friend, but in the end she didn't say it.
"I thought, it's time for me to go. Meng Xiaoqian said.
Chen Mengran didn't stop him, nodded, and said, "I still have to continue to remember." I remember that Qi Yun also likes to eat mung bean cakes, and often brings them to me when he comes to my house to play. I'm going to go to the old store and buy some more mung bean cakes to try. β
Meng Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and the words "mung bean cake" once again aroused her memories.
As a tablemate, Qi Yun often brought mung bean cakes, but every time she secretly stuffed them for her to eat, and told her not to let others know, for fear that her classmates would also quarrel for it after they found out, so she would not eat it in the future.
For this reason, Meng Xiaoqian could only endure her saliva and eat the mung bean cake after taking it home. This can hurt her, she is so focused on mung bean cake that she can't even concentrate on class, and sometimes she even drools.
Thinking about it, Meng Xiaoqian felt that she was really drooling again, and looked at Chen Mengran again, only to find that he had turned around and left.
"Wait a minute. Meng Xiaoqian shouted.
Chen Mengran turned around and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Anyway, I'm fine, so it's better to accompany you to reminisce about your childhood. β
"Okay. Chen Mengran shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter."
Throughout the day, Chen Mengran followed Nie Yun's instructions and took Meng Xiaoqian to recall his childhood or memories related to Nie Yun little by little.
It wasn't until the evening that the journey of memories ended.
The two waved goodbye.
Chen Mengran lay on the bed, for a whole day, he didn't feel tired, and even with unfinished thoughts on his face, having a goddess to accompany him for a day is undesirable for any man, how can he be tired.
"Okay, this first step has been successfully completed. Nie Yundao.
"Then can you sue me, is there any significance in this first step?" Chen Mengran asked rhetorically.
Although it was very refreshing to stay with the goddess for a day, except for a momentary coolness, in Chen Mengran's opinion, this day was not of much significance.
You must know that his purpose is to soak Meng Xiaoqian in his hands, but this day he is recalling all kinds of Qi Yun's beginnings, in addition to increasing Meng Xiaoqian's feelings for Qi Yun, Chen Mengran feels that there is no meaning to his plan to pick up girls.
"You don't understand that. After understanding Chen Mengran's thoughts, Nie Yun said with a smile: "If you want Meng Xiaoqian to like you, you can't do it with your strength, so my plan is to let Meng Xiaoqian's feelings for Qi Yun transfer to you." That's the crux of my plan. β
"And helping Meng Xiaoqian recall her feelings for Qi Yun is a necessary step, the deeper this emotional memory, one day, when this feeling is transferred to you, the heavier it will be. β
"But in this way, he still likes Qi Yun in essence. Chen Mengran said.
"So what, it doesn't matter who she likes in the end, the important thing is that eventually she will transfer this affection to you, which means that you will eventually get her. That's enough. β
Chen Mengran's face was a little unwilling, but he knew that this was the most effective and most popular method for the goddess now.
"So what's the second step?"
Nie Yun smiled, and from his relaxed laughter, Chen Mengran knew that he had already paid attention.
"The second step is to make her have an illusion between you and Nie Yun, so that she feels that you and Nie Yun are very similar. In this way, she will gradually transfer her feelings for Nie Yun to you. I've already figured out what to do for you, but I need help from others. β
"Others, who are you talking about?"
"A business partner of mine. Nie Yun said: "It's still early, let's go, I'll take you to him." β
