Chapter 50: February 29
2020 is a leap year.
Su Xiaoxiao himself is not interested in these ordinary leap years, big months and small months. In addition, there are no family and friends who happened to be born on February 29th, so the past day passed casually.
I don't know if it's because I've grown up or I'm away from home, Su Xiaoxiao is more and more concerned about these special days in life, and there is an inexplicable sense of ritual.
I made an appointment with Saska to eat hot pot on the evening of the 29th, and the new month started in full swing.
The four of them also called in advance to reserve a seat.
"What will we eat in a while?"
It was just after noon, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help it a little, "I really want to eat tomato pot now, with fat beef luncheon meat and vermicelli." Huh~"
Thinking about the aroma of hot pot in my mind, I took a deep breath and felt so satisfied that I didn't eat it.
"Okay, okay, I want to eat tomatoes too."
Lisa was unwilling to think of the previous Spring Festival because she had to take the exam, and she didn't eat hot pot, "We could have eaten hot pot in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but I didn't expect to take the exam until the fourth day of the new year, and it was four hours a day." ”
"That's it! Remember! ”
Jessica was also a little angry, "The quick-frozen dumplings we ate on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese takeaway we ate on the first day of the New Year, the cafeteria we ate on the second day of the New Year, the Japanese ramen we ate on the third day of the New Year, until the fourth day of the New Year, we can finally eat hot pot, and it takes two hours to wait for the table, and the last Korean food to eat." ”
Alice seemed to suddenly regain her memory and nodded violently, "Yes, yes, if you don't say it, I'll forget." At that time, Andrew also asked me to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve together, and I was afraid that OPS would hang, so I finally refused bitterly. ”
Suddenly, he clenched his fists, "I finally set a seat today, and I want to have a good meal." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
The first Spring Festival in Canada was supposed to go to Yan Yimo's house. Who knew that it was just in time for exam week, and the exams were one after another, and there was not even a chance to catch their breath.
At midnight, I listened to the sound of fireworks blooming on the other end of Yan Yimo's phone, and I could only quickly say "Happy New Year", and then hung up the phone and continued to prepare for the exam.
"Then let's go out early. First go buy a milk tea and take it to a hot pot restaurant, and then eat it slowly, eat it well, and enjoy it. ”
"Good!"
Just because they thought of the Chinese New Year, the four of them temporarily decided to go out at five o'clock.
Go to Coco first to buy milk tea, and then go straight to the hot pot.
At the bottom of the pot, I am also greedy to have four squares.
Butter, tomato, bone broth, bean curd.
There can be no ambiguity.
At 5:20 p.m., the bubble tea shop, the four people who were happy.
"It's amazing today, Coco actually buys one and gets one free."
Jessica chewed pearls and took a big sip of the pudding in the milk tea, her cheeks bulging. "It's so delicious."
"That's it, drink two flavors at a time, and I admit to being fat."
When Alice took a sip of the milk tea in her left hand and the Uji Gold in her right hand, "It's so cool." ”
"Absolutely!"
Lisa's eyes narrowed into a slit, "I didn't think winter melon tea was delicious, why is it so refreshing to drink today, I like this taste too much." ”
"Really, really, give me a taste!"
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the cocoa ballet in Lisa's hand, and changed it to winter melon tea, "You taste mine, this one is quite delicious with ice cubes." ”
"I'll taste it."
"It's really not bad! Like ice cream. ”
"Iced chocolate with pearls is delicious."
…
I walked to the hot pot restaurant with a smile and drank more than half of a cup of milk tea.
Sin and contented.
"Huh?"
As soon as he sat down, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Saska, "Look at the couple at the table next to you, do you feel familiar, and where have you seen it?" ”
Saska quietly followed Su Xiaoxiao's line of sight, the girl was not tall, with long blond hair and a sweet appearance. The boy has a bit of a rapper style, wearing a trendy brand, but it fits his temperament very well.
It was Alice who reacted first, "Ah, I know, this boy is Andrew's friend, and we had dinner together." The last time they also went skiing in Bole Mountain, that girl seemed to be Su Xiaoxiao's best friend of Jennifer's senior sister. ”
"Really!"
No wonder Su Xiaoxiao felt that they were familiar, it turned out that it was because she always saw them in Jennifer's circle of friends.
It may be that it is too obvious to be stared at by four pairs of eyes, and the girls have noticed them.
He tilted his head to look at them suspiciously, thought for a few more seconds, and said a few words to the boy across from him, only then did he recognize Alice, nodded apologetically, and walked to their table.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, senior sister, you're welcome."
Of the four people, Alice was probably a little familiar with them, and shook her hand with a red face, "We also just came, and we don't dare to recognize whether it's you or not." ”
The girl laughed heartily and pointed to her boyfriend standing behind her, "I'm confused, or did I say this isn't Andrew's girlfriend?" ”
glanced at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times, "If you are not mistaken, you are Jennifer's elementary school girl!" She always told me about you before, and envied that you friends have a very good relationship. ”
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded shyly, "How is Jennifer doing?" The last time I saw her was more than half a month ago, so I asked her out to play another day. ”
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say that she was going to ask Jennifer to come out, the girl showed an embarrassed expression, a little slurred, "That... Jenn has not been in good shape lately, so she has taken a temporary leave of absence. ”
After a pause, "Just left last weekend." ”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back, she was surprised, and immediately covered her mouth and apologized after realizing it, "Ah I'm sorry, I thought she was better." ”
"Well, it's fine. She may have left in a hurry before she had time to tell you. ”
The girl regained her face again, "Then you eat slowly, we'll leave first when we're almost done." See you again for a chance~"
"Uh-huh, okay."
The four of them waved politely to them. After waiting for the others to leave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared wide-eyed.
"It's an exaggeration, Jennifer is actually out of school!"
"Really, I just accidentally made a noise, didn't I feel embarrassed."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Alice patted Su Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, "I also had this reaction in my heart at the time, I felt that she was depressed because of a broken love." It's miserable. ”
"yes, it's really miserable."
"Huh? That's not right. ”
Su Xiaoxiao said while unlocking her phone, "Didn't I propose to go to the museum when we wanted to go somewhere last weekend, it was to see Jennifer's circle of friends, she looked much better not long ago." ”
Click on Jennifer's avatar, and then want to see the content inside, except for the last status posted last week, everything else is gone.
It's a pity for us
Didn't wait for us
Su Xiaoxiao's voice trembled slightly, a little trance-like, staring at the screen and muttering, "Maybe... I'm misremembering the time..."
"I don't want to, I don't want to, let's eat."
Jessica saw that the dishes were all ready, first put a little fat beef, and then put luncheon meat and shrimp slippery, "We want to be happy, happy every day." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and regained her mood.
I put my phone in my bag and put a fat cow with chopsticks in my bowl.
The freshly soaked fat beef is wrapped in a thick sesame sauce and put it in your mouth in a big bite, which is a feeling of happiness.
Zhenzhen, I hope you can be happy soon.
