At night, the bustle and charm of the city are still highlighted, and the endless crowds of people on the streets reflect the society. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Boys and girls in casual clothes stroll hand in hand through the noisy streets, where there is no soothing jazz music, only the sound of car horns on the streets; There are no gentlemen and ladies in suits and leather shoes, only bare-chested young people, but there is a more romantic atmosphere, maybe this is called life.
Li Xiangwei and Lin Yimo were walking on the street when they saw a small noodle restaurant, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and walked in.
The hygiene of the store is very neat, and the owner is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a very kind smile and an infectious attitude.
When he saw a customer coming to the store, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and greeted the two of them.
"I wonder what you two want to eat?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile, took out a plate of side dishes from the table next to him, and placed it in front of the two.
"Boss, what is this?" Li Xiangwei looked at the side dishes on the table curiously, which seemed to be soy products.
The shopkeeper smiled honestly and said loudly: "This is our ancestral secret side dish, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second one in the entire H City." I see you two today who seem to have a fate with me, and I specially give it to you, don't want money. ”
Hearing that it was free, the two of them quickly moved their chopsticks, picked up a stick of dried bean curd and put it in their mouths and savored it, and suddenly their eyes lit up at the same time.
"How do you feel?" Their reactions were all expected by the shopkeeper, and his eyes narrowed with smiles.
Li Xiangwei slowly chewed this dried tofu in his mouth, it was originally just an ordinary soy product, under the configuration of special condiments, the taste was surprisingly special, it seemed that there was a sour taste first, and then a bite, the sour feeling was replaced by a sweet feeling, he seemed to remember the feeling of happiness when he was under the protection of his grandparents when he was a child.
"The first sip was a little sour, but not disgusting, and the second sip had a faint sweet taste, which was a bit strange." Li Xiangwei was a little surprised to express his feelings.
Lin Yimo nodded sympathetically, she originally hated sourness, but she didn't expect that for the first time, she felt that sourness was so beautiful, which completely subverted her three views.
"You're right, but it's not quite, you can go ahead and taste it." The shopkeeper nodded approvingly, and the two people in front of him were indeed destined.
Li Xiangwei listened to the boss's advice and took a small bite again, but he almost spit out the dried bean curd out of his mouth, an extremely bitter feeling spread in his mouth, and his face became a little ugly.
"Boss, why did you become so bitter in an instant? It's even more bitter than soaking bitter gourd in Chinese medicine. Lee Sang-hyun stuck out his tongue to dispel the strange taste in his mouth.
Lin Yimo frowned lightly, and swallowed the dried tofu in his mouth, a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he had just completed a huge challenge.
Seeing this reaction, the shopkeeper was even more satisfied and nodded his head. "It's normal to be bitter, now you can feel that feeling and tell me what you feel."
The two of them slowly closed their eyes, and their minds were like a movie, reinterpreting some of the unforgettable experiences that had happened to them from birth to the present.
Seeing that he was still under the mind control of the ice demon during the execution of the mission when he had just entered the game, he imagined a series of things that did not exist at all, and he knew very well his state of mind at that time.
"There will always be some bitter things in life, which may seem unacceptable to you at the time, or it may be so painful that you have a nervous breakdown. However, at some point in the future, I hope that when you think of those pasts, you can remember your true feelings at that time. The shopkeeper looked at a photo in the store, and his eyes gradually softened.
Li Xiangwei followed his gaze and looked over, the photo was a simple group photo, there was a young couple and a lovely daughter, the husband held his daughter high in the air, and the wife looked at them tenderly from the side, and a strong sense of warmth came out of the frame.
Li Xiangwei found that the young man's facial features were somewhat similar to the shopkeeper's, but he was more youthful and magnanimous, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Boss, this is a photo of your family, right?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, his smile full of happiness. "My wife and children are in their hometown in the south, and the old people in the family are reluctant to have children, so they live there, and I work outside myself, and I will send some money home every once in a while."
"Do you miss them?" Lin Yimo, as a girl, is more emotional about this kind of thing.
"Yes! Of course I do! The shopkeeper nodded heavily, cleaned up, and said, "But I have to work hard to make a better life for them." I've got it all figured out! Work for a few more years to save some money, and when the daughters grow up, they will take them over. ”
"Come on! Boss, you will definitely be very happy in the future. Lin Yimo looked at the shopkeeper with little stars in his eyes, and the scene of the family reunion had been drawn in his mind.
After some small talk, the two of them ordered the restaurant's specialty, the local unique pasta.
When the two bowls of steaming noodles were served in front of them, the rich aroma came to their faces, and the two of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost simultaneously, picked up chopsticks and devoured them, not caring about the image at all.
Seeing the appearance of the two people, the shopkeeper knew that the fruits of his labor were not in vain, showed a relieved smile, and turned to the back kitchen to prepare some refreshments.
After the two of them had enough tea and food, Li Xiangwei comfortably separated himself, and he was very satisfied with his slightly bulging abdomen.
"Looks like the two of you are eating very well!" The shopkeeper sorted out the empty tableware on the table, looked at the two and smiled.
"Don't say it, boss, your skills are really good! Must be fully praised. Lee Sang-hyun gave a thumbs up to the boss.
After a few more pleasantries, they left the restaurant.
By this time, it was already very late, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the road, only a few people scattered around.
It is autumn in H City, and the cool wind blows on the two people, but it can't drive away the warmth brought by the shopkeeper.
After arriving home, the two of them spread out on the bed, tired into two salted fish, and they didn't want to move.
Suddenly, Li Xiangwei remembered that Xia Dan had called him, although Lin Yimo had simply conveyed the meaning of the other party, but after all, it would be better to say it in person, and it happened that he had something to ask.
Lin Yimo went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and Li Xiangwei found Xia Dan's phone in the missed call and dialed it.
"Hey, Mr. Li, your girlfriend has a really good voice!" Xia Dan's slightly teasing voice came from the opposite side.
