Ruo Ning drove and Xi Yunsheng back to the old high school, after many years of personnel changes, Jianzhong has already moved the campus, and the shops on both sides have almost been demolished.

Along the street of memory, Ruo Ning stopped the car and got out of the car with Xi Yunsheng.

"It doesn't seem to be there." Ruo Ning looked up at Xi Yunsheng sideways, wanting to ask for his opinion on whether to leave and find another place to eat.

"Now that you're here, let's take a look inside." Xi Yunsheng proposed.

Ruo Ning nodded, and the two of them went into the alley, the night was too dark, and the signboard in front was a little blurry, but they were happy to find that the hot pot restaurant was still open.

Xi Yunsheng and Ruo Ning walked into the store and found that it was old and dilapidated, with moldy walls, dim lighting, and only two waiters in the store who were bored chasing flies.

In addition to them, there was only one table of guests.

Xi Yunsheng didn't mind being simple, walked to the position of the windowsill and sat down, took the menu and handed it to Ruoning.

The waiter came to ask about the bottom of the pot, and the two of them said in unison: "Spicy pot bottom." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, they used to be in the student union together in high school, and every time the inter-school activities ended, a group of people loved to come here for dinner. It's reasonably priced, affordable for students, and it's easy to let go and the atmosphere is lively.

"You still love spicy food." Xi Yunsheng chuckled.

"Isn't it the same for you, after so many years abroad, your taste hasn't changed." When you're done ordering, close the menu.

"Actually, I've always missed this place." Xi Yunsheng looked at Ruo Ning with a smile, and his words seemed to be a pun.

Ruo Ning saw that the bottom of the pot was boiling, and he hurriedly added vegetables to shabu, but he didn't care what Xi Yunsheng said. Ren Shaochen is very afraid of spicy, and in the few years she has been with him, except for occasionally asking Xiao Qianrong out to eat, she has hardly touched spicy food, especially spicy hot pot.

In addition to not eating spicy food, Ren Shaochen is also very particular about other aspects of food, and he definitely does not eat oily or salty things.

"Why do you look like you miss the smell of this place more than I do?" Xi Yunsheng smiled lightly at the way she was shabu-shabu, and then took a piece of ripe potato from it and gave it to her.

"It's probably as long as you do." Ruo Ning replied with a smile and handed the drink to Xi Yunsheng.

"Didn't he come with you?" Xi Yunsheng lowered his eyes and fished for something in the pot, and asked casually.

"He is very afraid of spicy, and every time he eats something a little spicy, his ears will turn red." Ruo Ning smiled, remembering the last time she ate chopped pepper fish head with Ren Shaochen, he was so spicy that he didn't say anything.

When Xi Yunsheng saw Ruo Ning mention Ren Shaochen, he even had a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth stiffened slightly. Five years have passed, and it seems that everything has changed, but in fact, it doesn't seem to have changed, and it was the same when Ruo Ning mentioned Ren Shaochen to him before.

"You ......" Xi Yunsheng was halfway through his words and took it back.

"What?" Ruo Ning raised her head, the hot pot was smoky, and her face didn't know whether it was red or spicy.

"Nothing." Xi Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to concentrate on eating. What he wanted to ask was whether they had children, but after thinking about five years, according to common sense, they should have it, and maybe they could still go to the street to make soy sauce.

The original miss is a lifetime of misses. Before he went abroad, he asked Ruoning to come out and asked her if she could go abroad with him, she said that she would consider it, but a few days later, she replied that she was about to marry Ren Shaochen.

He didn't attend her wedding to witness her happiness, and even took a flight abroad in advance, as if he didn't see her marry someone else, so he could keep a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Over the years, her appearance has not changed much, but her identity has changed greatly, and there is a gap that can no longer be crossed.

"Tomorrow this place will be demolished, and our store will be closed, you are a guest at a table of zuihou, and I will give you the plate." At the time of checkout, the proprietress said so.

Xi Yunsheng sighed secretly, he thought that there were always some people and things in the past, but it turned out that even this decades-old store was going to close.

Ruo Ning and Xi Yunsheng walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and when they saw that he was silent, they said: "This district will be demolished and rebuilt, the changes in S City in the past few years, maybe you don't recognize the road if you don't look at the road signs when you go out now." ”

"Then if you have time in the future, don't you mind occasionally accompanying me, an old classmate, to recognize the way?" Xi Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"You can find Zhou Hao and them, they all mentioned you at the class reunion a few months ago." Ruo Ning didn't think much about it, but just happened to remember.

Xi Yunsheng smiled lightly, thinking that she was politely refusing, so he followed her words and said: "Then I will ask them all to come out for a gathering another day, and you will also appreciate it." ”

"Okay." Ruo Ning flipped out her mobile phone and exchanged numbers with Xi Yunsheng.

Xi Yunsheng mentioned it casually: "I heard that Zhou Hao is a father, what about you?" Got a baby? ”

Ruo Ning shook his head, and put away his phone after entering the number.

"Huh? You haven't had children in all these years? Xi Yunsheng was slightly surprised, he remembered that Ruoning seemed to like children very much.

"Actually, he and I have been" Ruo Ning was about to speak, but was cut off by the phone ringing, she took out her mobile phone again, and Ren Shaochen's name was on the caller ID. She couldn't help muttering, why every time she wanted to speak, Ren Shaochen would interrupt appropriately.

picked up the phone, only to hear Ren Shaochen's voice say in a low voice: "You and Xi Yunsheng left first?" ”

"yes." If you condense the way.

"I told you to wait for me." Ren Shaochen's voice sank a little more.

Faced with his accusatory tone, Ruo Ning couldn't help but feel funny, and said, "But I didn't promise you." ”

"Are you home now?" Ren Shaochen changed the topic, and when he was just leaving, he felt uncomfortable when he heard Xiao Qianrong say to him that Ruoning and Xi Yunsheng left together, and he felt that Xi Yunsheng looked at Ruoning differently.

"It's still outside, what's wrong?"

"Outside with Xi Yunsheng?" Ren Shaochen's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten.

After Ruo Ning snorted, the other end was silent, embarrassed to let Xi Yunsheng wait for a long time, so he said: "I'll hang up first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Without waiting for Ren Shaochen to respond, Ruo Ning hung up the phone, smiled embarrassedly at Xi Yunsheng, and said, "Let's go back." ”

"He's urging you." Xi Yunsheng said clearly.

Ruo Ning smiled and didn't answer, got into the car, fastened her seat belt, stepped on the accelerator to drive, and asked Xi Yunsheng's address.

When I drove it, I found that the place where they lived was not far, a small interval between two people, and it was only about ten minutes on foot.

"Xiexie, your dinner, and your hitchhiker, next time I invite you, you can't refuse." Xi Yunsheng unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, and said to her at the window of the car

"Okay, Zaijian." Ruo Ning said with a smile.
