Chapter 23: A Punk Girl Who Loves Pizza
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the room." The old man got up from the sofa very neatly and walked up to the second floor, and Lin Mingyang hurriedly followed with his luggage. The wooden walls of the stairwell are lined with elaborate picture frames, most of which are photos of Lin Mingyang's father when he was a child. At the staircase on the second floor, Lin Mingyang also accidentally found a wedding photo of his parents.
Somewhat different from the one seen in the parents' bedroom, there is an old man with a straight face standing between Catherine and Lin Qinghai in wedding dresses in this photo. may be because of the contrast in the picture, Lin Mingyang always feels that the parents' smiles are brighter in this photo of his grandfather's house.
Lin Mingyang's hut is on the right side of the staircase, with windows facing the front yard, as a small house to treasure childhood memories, there are indeed no Trojan horses, remote-controlled racing cars, and there are no obsolete game console bags with scrapped handles hidden in the bookcase. The only thing that can prove the existence of the past is the faded Bruce Lee poster on the wall.
A large wardrobe, a writing desk, and a bookcase in addition make up the simple layout of the whole cottage. Only the bed in the room has just been changed, it is estimated that the previous one was too small, and now Lin Mingyang can't sleep.
The layout of the hut did not bring any surprises to Lin Mingyang, except for the network cable interface, it was as young as the bed in the house, and it was estimated that it had only recently been newly installed.
"I know it's as common as the phone now, and there are a lot of young people in town who spend a lot of time on it. I could ask you to read more books, but I know that's not realistic. Your generation has its own way of life, but I still want you to use it wisely! "The old man is old-fashioned, but he is not pedantic.
After he left, Lin Mingyang couldn't wait to take out his laptop from his bag, and almost habitually opened the chat tool on the interface, but none of his friends were online on the Internet, so he browsed the web casually, and then sent an email to Meghan who was far away in Los Angeles. After doing this, he looked at the time and saw that it was not too late, Lin Mingyang opened the document casually, and officially began to write the script for the second season of "The Orange County Boys", which had already been conceived and matured.
After entering the state of writing, Lin Mingyang quickly forgot the time, and when he got up from bed the next morning, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and there was no prepared breakfast in the kitchen.
He stood there motionless with his eyes closed, his hands in a strange position, his chest rising and falling at a peculiar frequency, causing his nostrils to breathe out white gas in a regular manner.
Lin Mingyang stood aside curiously and stopped to watch, Lin Aoquan was practicing a kind of internal qigong, the morning climate in Napani town was a little cool, and the hot air spewed out of the nostrils became what Lin Mingyang saw now, but what really surprised him was the rhythm of the old man's luck breathing, which was very similar to the breathing state he entered during the halftime of the last final of the Firefoxes, Lin Mingyang even suspected that this set of breathing methods was the "peerless magic skill" passed on to him by his grandfather.
With the posture of the dantian in his hand, Lin Aoquan exhaled a long breath of turbidity, which could be regarded as a success. Seeing Lin Mingyang looking around, Lin Aoquan beckoned to him, "Come and have two moves with me?" ”
Lin Mingyang hurriedly shook his head, not to mention that the old man's force value is still unknown, except for the set of kung fu he gave himself to play a little effect when he recovered his strength in the game, Lin Mingyang basically didn't practice at other times, how dare he fight him at this time.
"You haven't even found your sense of qi yet?" Lin Aoquan's face was a little disappointed.
"Gas?" Lin Mingyang was stunned, there are such sayings in qigong and yoga, but they are all very mysterious concepts such as spirit and consciousness pulled together, and it is estimated that everyone will have a different statement about what qi is.
"You didn't find the slightest benefit from the exercises?" Lin Aoquan's face suddenly darkened, it seems that this kid should really clean up, looking at his blank face, he is usually lazy and doesn't practice well!
"It seems that you can recover your physical strength a little faster when you are exercising!" After looking at Lin Aoquan's practice just now, Lin Mingyang probably understood that the practice he was referring to was that strange breathing method.
"So you found it?" Lin Aoquan's eyes suddenly became bright, and the loss on his face was swept away.
"It?" Lin Mingyang was confused again.
"It's just a sense of qi!" While Lin Aoquan scolded Lin Mingyang for being stupid, he had a relieved smile on his face, "In the future, as long as you insist on practicing every day, I guarantee that you will not have any serious illnesses when you live to my age!" ”
"Can you live forever?" Lin Mingyang tried to ask, but as soon as the words fell behind his head, he was hit hard.
"Why don't you kid ask if you can become an immortal?" Lin Aoquan glared at this kid who was dreaming fiercely, and he didn't forget to scold in his mouth: "It's just nonsense!" ”
Lin Mingyang rubbed the back of his head and stuck out his tongue secretly, the strength of this old man's hand is not light, if he takes it again, it is estimated that he will really have "amnesia".
"If you're hungry, go to the town to buy food by yourself, and I guess you won't be able to eat the food here, so I won't prepare it for you!" After the old man who was still angry dropped this sentence, he no longer paid attention to Lin Mingyang, and sat in the rocking chair in front of the door with his eyes closed.
Lin Mingyang, who was bored with himself, went out with a depressed face, and happened to meet his neighbor Grandma Gibson who showed him the way yesterday at the intersection. Knowing that Lin Mingyang was going to the town to buy something to eat, the other party was very enthusiastic and recommended a pizza shop to Lin Mingyang.
"It's the most famous hot food shop in town, and around the corner you'll see a red sign that says Lapizzeria!"
Lin Mingyang is actually very similar to looking for a Chinese restaurant, but thinking about it, there is probably no one in this town, and after looking around, he still decided to go to that pizzeria to have a look.
From the outside, this store looked very deserted, but after pushing the door in, Lin Mingyang found that it was actually very lively inside. As Grandma Gibson said, it's a popular little shop. You must know that it is still morning, and most people are not on summer vacation like Lin Mingyang. But even so, the seats provided in the store were still full.
Lin Mingyang asked for a pizza and a glass of Coke, and finally found an empty seat by the window, opposite a girl with long brown hair, a T-shirt and short skirt with black and white socks, making her look like an alternative beauty. Although he couldn't see his face clearly with sunglasses, Lin Mingyang still felt that such a girl should have a very delicate face.
This uniquely dressed girl has a strange feeling sitting in a pizzeria, not to mention that she also wears such a pair of sunglasses that people can't ignore. Unlike the other girls' reservedness, she still gulped the pizza into her mouth, despite the fact that her cheeks were already bulging with food, and did not take a sip of the drink and make a sizzling sound.
The girl's appearance amused Lin Mingyang, who was sitting opposite, he didn't think that the other party was vulgar at all, but thought that it was a kind of natural surname and really cute. However, Lin Mingyang didn't control his expression well, and his snickering was still discovered by the other party.
"What are you laughing at?" The girl noticed the dark-haired boy sitting across from her from the beginning, and when she found that the other party was quietly looking at her, she even had some faint smugness in her heart, but now this guy was secretly laughing, which made her a little unacceptable.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the girl's tone, the smile on Lin Mingyang's face became more and more obvious, and he risked further annoying the other party, and boldly asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Can't you eat like this when you're not hungry?"
The girl's rhetorical question choked Lin Mingyang, and he wiped his mouth with a tissue a little embarrassed. "Of course you can, it's your personal freedom, but chewing slowly can improve digestion, and you know that!"
"Everyone else says that, but why should I live the way other people do?" In a simple sentence, the girl's bold and rebellious surname has been revealed.
"There is a surname!" Lin Mingyang gave the other party a thumbs up, then lowered his head and began to eat his own pizza.
The girl came earlier, and after eating her share, she did not rush to leave, but looked curiously at the boy opposite who had only spoken a few words. I have to admit that this guy is very handsome, and people are not so annoying, which made her suddenly have the idea of knowing each other.
"Did anyone say you look a lot like Hollywood star Keanu Reeves?" The girl tries to divert the conversation from the other person's appearance.
The black-haired boy opposite stopped eating pizza, raised his head, looked at himself very seriously, and then showed a very bright smile, "If you have the opportunity to meet the big star you said in the future, you can tell him that you look a lot like Felix Lin!" ”
"Is this your introduction?" In the eyes of the girl, Lin Mingyang is not arrogant, but has a surname, which makes her feel that the boy should be the same kind of person as herself.
"I am who I am, fireworks of different colors!" Lin Mingyang suddenly thought of a favorite lyric in later generations, and said it casually.
At this moment, the smile on his face was still as bright as the sun, but the girl saw a look in his eyes that was more lonely than fireworks. The girl took off her sunglasses, and then Lin Mingyang's smile began to slowly solidify, this face, he saw it on the poster in the window when he passed by the street video store yesterday, in the depths of his memory, there seems to be such a familiar face, who is this girl?
"My name is Avril Lavigne!" There was a seductive glow on the girl's face as she laughed, "If I see Mr. Keanu Reeves one day, I'll tell him that there's a guy named Felix Lin who says you look a lot like him!" ”
