Chapter 187: If you go in one direction and go around the earth, you can always meet again
Occasionally, passing evening breezes blow through the streets, and at night, there are very few people on the streets. Not to mention that this is a relatively remote street. The street was a little dark, the moonlight was sparsely paved on the ground, and the street lamps were a little crumbling. There are only one or two street lamps a few dozen meters away, illuminating the small places under the lights.
Anchen walked on the side of the road, drinking a can of corn water bought on the street (a sweet drink made from ripe grains in Valoran) while watching the night view of Shurima. The town is breezy and dotted with a few lights, and it looks a little desolate. After walking for a while, she stopped and stood on the side of the street.
On the opposite side of the street corner, a food stall is parked under a beam of light. It's not a storefront, it's just a cart with a curtain hanging on a signboard. In front of the food stall, a man with a broken sword on his back sits there, as if ready to eat some snacks.
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ An Chen looked at the back, stood for a while, and slowly walked up: "Step." โ
Rui Wen turned her head and saw An Chen walking behind her.
"Mind if I sit next to you?" Anchen said with a smile.
Rui Wen hooked the corners of her mouth and turned her head: "Aren't you resting so late?" โ
"Didn't you sleep too? Dinner was not eaten well. An Chen touched his stomach: "So I thought about eating some more." โ
With that, Anchen sat down and called to the boss in the curtain: "Boss, let's have a piece of fried noodles." "Chow mein is a snack in the Storm Plains, but Shurima also has it, but the taste will be a little different.
"Okay." The boss is a not too young old man, with wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but he looks kind. The boss scooped up a noodle with a pair of long chopsticks and put it in the pot, then put in the ingredients and stir-fried.
Anchen and Ruiwen sat in front of the stall, watching the lights flicker in the night.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've sat down and eaten together like this." Anchen remembered something, propped his hands on the table, and lay there a little tiredly.
"Hmm." Rui Wen looked at the lazy Anchen, chuckled and nodded: "It's been a while." โ
"Oh, your wine, guest." The old man of the store took a bottle of white beer and put it in front of Rui Wen, and then put a wine glass aside: "There are also wine glasses." โ
"Thank you." Rui Wen nodded at the old man, reached out to hold the wine bottle, and with a soft sound, opened the cap.
The sparkling wine is poured into the glass, and the wine is reflected in the faint light, and it is silent in the glass, with the occasional ripple and soon it subsides.
"Sure enough, it's better to eat with wine." An Chen numbled his mouth: "Boss, give me a bottle of wine too." โ
Before An Chen's words were finished, Rui Wen interrupted her, "You don't want to drink, you're only seventeen years old, and you're not old enough to drink." โ
"Hey, I'll be eighteen after the New Year." An Chen said with a black line on his face, and said with a headache.
The corners of Ruiwen's mouth curled, and she rarely didn't have a straight face: "That's just a child." โ
At night, the air is a little cool, the remote streets are sparsely populated, and the curtain of the night sky is dotted with stars. At a street stall, two people chatted about inconsequential gossip, without any topic, just talking about whatever came to mind. If there are others, I can't understand what they are saying, but the two of them don't know how long, and they haven't been so comfortable and relaxed as now.
"Guest, fried noodles." The stall owner, the old man, smiled and put a fried mein on the table.
"Uh-huh." An Chen took a pair of chopsticks and broke them open, and looked at Rui Wen with a wicked smile: "Do you want Rui Wen, I can feed you." โ
Rui Wen rolled her eyes as she ate a plate of rice rolls (rice balls), stretched out her hand, and flicked her index finger on An Chen's forehead.
"Smack." "Wow, it hurts."
The store manager stood aside and wiped his hands with a smile and said, "The relationship between the two customers is really enviable, they are very good friends." โ
An Chen and Rui Wen, who were laughing, were stunned, and then nodded with a smile: "Yes, very good friends." โ
It's just that in their smiles, there seems to be a faint bitterness hidden in it.
Anchen lowered his head and ate fried noodles, Rui Wen drank wine and looked up at the sky.
Also, they can only be friends.
The inexplicable feelings hidden in their hearts will only end up being a story that has written an ending before it has even begun.
The two of them were silent for a while, and An Chen's eyes skimmed to Rui Wen's Si Mi: "Rui Wen, is that delicious?" โ
Rui Wen looked at An Chen's eyes and couldn't help but smile: "If you want to eat, just say it." He picked up one with chopsticks and sent it to Anchen's mouth: "Ah." โ
"Ahh
The rice has a cereal sweetness and is filled with meat rolls and a kind of fruit, and the flavors are blended together to create a nice taste.
"Is it delicious?"
Anchen stuffed rice balls in his mouth, his face looked bulging, and he nodded seriously: "Well, it's delicious." โ
Rui Wen smiled lightly, turned around, and drank the wine on the table: "Anchen, do you blame me, if I hadn't arrested you at that time, you wouldn't have fled like this now." โ
"In that case." An Chen swallowed the Simi in his mouth and said, "In that case, I won't know you either." So, it's better to be caught by you. โ
In the dim light, Rui Wen looked at An Chen, stunned, and shook her head with a smile after a while: "What's good about knowing me?" โ
An Chen didn't answer Ruiwen, just looked at Ruiwen's plate: "Ruiwen, is Simi still there?" โ
"I'm not afraid of getting fat if I eat so much." Rui Wen took Simi and sent it to Anchen's mouth.
"Ahh
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
When the two finished eating, it was already late at night, and the moon hung in the middle of the sky, hidden among the clouds.
Walking slowly down the street, Rui Wen suddenly asked, "Anchen, is it important for you to get something in the ruins?" โ
An Chen looked at Rui Wen, was silent for a moment, and finally smiled and nodded: "Well, it's very important." โ
Turning her head, Rui Wen muttered, "That's it." โ
Standing in front of the intersection, it was time for the two to go separately.
After saying goodbye to each other, the two of them walked away in one direction, farther and farther away.
Halfway through, Anchen stopped, turned his head to look at Rui Wen's distant back, and seemed to have decided something.
Rui Wen, wait for me to come back to life.
