Chapter 56
Located just across the street from St. John's University, this restaurant is a quiet restaurant with sophisticated dΓ©cor. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info restaurant only serves foreign food, and there is no meal, so it is empty, and there are almost no diners.
Rong Ziyi picked a table by the window, pulled out a chair for Rong Zifan to sit, and began to study the menu again. After looking at it for a while, he handed the menu to Zifan and said, "I didn't expect such a restaurant to be open for so long." β
"You've been here before?" Rong Zifan asked.
Ziyi shook his head.
"Then how do you know this restaurant has been open for a long time?"
Rong Ziyi pointed to his eyes: "Look." β
Zifan looked around and said with a smile: "I know, you see that the decoration here is old, so you know that this restaurant has been open for a long time." β
Rong Ziyi smiled and nodded: "The patterns of the wallpaper and the color of the floor are all popular styles a few years ago, although the tablecloth is clean, it is a little yellow, and it is also washed and washed." β
Rong Zifan looked at the menu, and the price on it made her staggered. She ordered a few things at random and said, "This meal has to be broken by the eldest brother." I don't know if the taste can match your purse. β
Rong Ziyi smiled and shook his head: "Seeing this restaurant so depressed, I have doubts. It's just a sin to let you eat badly. He looked at his sister, looked at her carefully, and asked, "How is the school cafeteria?" Are you still used to eating? I thought you'd already try the restaurants near the school, but now it doesn't seem like you're interested. β
"I'm fine in the cafeteria, and you know I don't have any requirements for food." Rong Zifan stuck out his tongue: "Besides, this kind of price is not something that a student can afford." β
"It's as if someone has done you badly. If you don't have enough money, you can go to the eldest brother to get it. Rong Ziyi said: "Just because you are not very demanding in eating, you can't let you deal with it casually." I don't know you yet? Take a bite if you like it, and simply don't eat it if you don't like it. Don't be too troublesome, if there is nothing to taste in the cafeteria, just come out and eat. I see you've lost weight lately, and your face is pointy. β
Rong Zifan touched his chin: "No, why don't I feel it." She saw that Rong Ziyi was still looking at her, and said half-coquettishly: "Big brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself." β
Rong Ziyi glanced at her deeply, shook his head and said, "Take care of it?" I don't think so. β
Zifan was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the window. The sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the opposite house, reflecting a dazzling light. Her eyes seemed to be stinged, and she quickly moved away.
The food was served quickly and it tasted surprisingly good.
Rong Ziyi took a few bites and sighed: "So you can't just look at the surface of everything. To evaluate the quality of a restaurant, the quality of the food is an important factor. If it hires a good chef, it will really add a lot of points. At least for now, I feel a little pleasing to the eye when I see this tablecloth because it is not white and dazzling. β
Rong Zifan was amused: "It turns out that the eldest brother also has times of hypocrisy. β
"Is there one? I don't think so. Rong Ziyi shrugged: "Many things, if they are only superficial, often affect judgment or even miss." For example, as soon as we entered this restaurant, our observation was correct. Through observation, we felt that the restaurant must have been open for many years, and then gave the impression of being dilapidated and old, so that we did not have hope for the food. However, life is full of surprises. One dish from a chef is enough to turn our impression of it. β
Rong Zifan smiled again: "Big brother, do you want to have a simple meal and hurry up to teach me a lesson?" β
Rong Ziyi said solemnly: "I don't mean to educate you, but I want to tell you, first, don't think about problems with inherent patterns; Second, if you want to understand the essence of things, you need to not just see, but experience. β
Rong Zifan listened quietly, finally put down the knife and fork in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Ziyi: "Big brother, what do you want to say?" β
Rong Ziyi didn't eat it anymore, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Fanfan, you have been taken care of too well by your family since you were a child, so you are a little timid, a little naΓ―ve, and not brave enough. Your strength is that you are particularly nostalgic for the old, but I have to say that this is probably also your weakness. I hope you can be well protected by your family for the rest of your life and never need to change. But looking at the current environment, I'm afraid you can't help but go on like this. One day, you have to grow up. And if you want to grow, you have to be strong. Strong spiritual strength is the most powerful weapon to overcome troubles. β
"Really?" Rong Zifan's eyes were full of confusion. She put her hands on her cheeks, rested her elbows on the table, and said worriedly, "But I don't know what I should do, and I don't even know what I should do." A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, which reminded Ziyi of her situation in the chapel again: "Big brother, I don't know what's wrong, I just think it's boring, and life is boring." I can't lift my spirits and I'm not interested in anything. I didn't expect that one day I would live a sentimental life. β
"You think too much and do too little, and you are immersed in your own thoughts all the time, so it's easy to get yourself into a dead end. You have to get out and see more, get involved in life, and understand what's going on in the world. Rong Ziyi said patiently and softly: "Fanfan, in this society, no one can live in paradise forever as a bystander. You are now in a situation where you are on the verge of being shocked by change. You can't live in your own spiritual world statically, because the people and things around you are changing, society is changing with each passing day, and you can't keep up with its development. In you, I don't see the vigor of youth, you put yourself in a glass cover. But if you can close your eyes and live your own life, but you are watching the changes in the outside world, realizing the gap but not having the courage to change, which is the crux of your distress. Fanfan, why don't you open the door, go out, and bravely participate in life? You will discover a new world! β
Rong Zifan's fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of the tablecloth, his eyes widened, and he listened silently.
Rong Ziyi patted her hand and continued, "Fanfan, you need to do something to reflect your value. And when you see the achievements, know that your efforts are not in vain, and appreciate the meaning, you will not feel useless and feel that life is boring. Each of us comes into this world in complete ignorance; And when I leave the world and come to the end of my life, I always hope that I have done something for the world and left something behind. This is called value. The wind has left a sound, and the geese have left traces. People live a lifetime, and they should never be in vain. When you feel that you are accepted and needed, and that you can shoulder the responsibility of changing the fate of others and even the whole world with your own ability, you will feel the meaning of life! β
