Chapter 9: Heartbeat
"Clams.... Are you sure? Xinrou looked incredulous.
Malt smiled and nodded, what an embarrassing experience!
For Xinrou, she has been living in the countryside since she was very young, and she has never seen what the outside world is like, but she has heard people who have come back from outside talk about the outside world, so she yearns for it and has always longed to live in a big city.
After the college entrance examination, she chose a big city far from home, and she ranked first among all the students in the town, whether it was comprehensive quality or single subject results, which was also the proudest place for her parents.
I remember that day was a day that had already chosen a city, everyone in the countryside knew about their own affairs, some people came to congratulate, some people called to report the good news, others don't remember anything, only remember that the expressions of their parents were very happy at that time.
As long as I see a smile on my parents' faces, as if all my efforts have not been in vain, I have lived according to my parents' ideas since I was a child, as long as my parents let me get the first place in this grade, then I must do my best to achieve the level that my parents want no matter what.
Completely different from the life of his peers, everything is moving forward according to the expectations of his parents, but on that day, he suddenly found out that this kind of life is what his parents want, but why do he have to follow his parents' decisions......
This thought has always been deeply buried in my heart, but I have never talked about it with my parents, perhaps because I am afraid that they will be disappointed in the idea I put forward.....
Looking at the few people on the first floor of this cafeteria, there are a lot of things to say in my heart, but this kind of thing can never be said to anyone, the food here may be a very ordinary meal for other ordinary students, and the cost is only a very normal part, but for Xinrou, before she left the small village, she has never come to a formal restaurant, although the first floor of this canteen is plain in the mouths of other students, but in front of herself, it is like a luxurious restaurant, And standing here is like a child who has never seen the world, constantly looking at the new world.
The clothes of the classmates around me are really beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that has never been seen in the countryside, occasionally the dormitory people will also propose what kind of tie to match this dress, what color skirt to match, Xinrou only realized at that time that she had never paid attention to these clothes before, everything was arranged by her parents, and when she communicated with them, she said a word or two, and did something else, and there seemed to be no common topic.
I never paid attention to the maintenance of my face before, because these parents had never talked about it to me before, but every morning when I got up and washed my face, I found that everyone was sitting in front of a mirror, carefully touching the skin on their faces with their hands, wiping some things in flat jars, and smelling the faint fragrance of their bodies when walking with them.....
What is that scent? Is it floating out of the body, or is it floating out of the face? Although Xinrou still has doubts in her heart, these words have not been asked after all, and no one will be clear? On the surface, I was so calm that I felt extremely inferior in my heart......
"It's our turn! Don't forget to ask for two or two meals! Malt was on the side, energetically pulling her forward.
Xinrou reacted and followed in her footsteps.
A few students passing by with plates on the way, the meals inside are very rich, there are braised pork, and some meat that has never been seen before, and the aroma is constantly wafting from the side, which is really tempting!
"Kid, which dish are you going to choose?" The cafeteria aunt holds a plate in one hand and a spoon in the other, ready to serve some meals.
Xinrou pointed to the cucumber, "That's it."
"Which more?" The cafeteria aunt asked.
"No, this is it," Xinrou said.
Although the cafeteria aunt was a little puzzled, just such a little dish, can a little girl eat enough, but since she came to this university, there are classmates from all walks of life, so this situation is no exception, after all, she didn't ask, put the prepared meal on a plate, handed it to the window, and "take it".
Xinrou turned her head with the plate and saw the malt waving at her not far away, so she walked towards the table.
"I'll get you chopsticks, sit down!" Malt is indeed hungry and a little prostration, the morning was still good weather, but in the afternoon it suddenly rained lightly, this weather is really not worry-free, can it be said that Uncle Sun is also tired, want to change shifts.....
Malt sandwiched a large piece of meat, put it in his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, he still needs meat products to replenish his prostrated stomach, in fact, the things on the first floor of the canteen are not bad, each floor has its own characteristics.
lowered his head, and inadvertently saw that the girl sitting opposite him had only one vegetarian dish on his plate, and it was a cool cucumber, and he was a little puzzled for a while, and said bluntly: "Why do you eat this one dish, can you eat enough?" Besides, this cucumber is so cold, and it's raining today, can your stomach stand it? ”。
Xinrou smiled and shook her head, "My appetite is very small, maybe compared to those dishes, I like this dish the most, do you want to try it?" "Actually, I chose this dish because it was cheaper and didn't cost much, and I didn't take into account the weather or whether I liked it or not.
"Really? I don't seem to have eaten that dish yet, can I try it? Malt was full of happiness at the thought of eating, and since his roommates said it was delicious, that dish must be incomparable, and he really wanted to taste it.
"Try it," Xinrou said.
The malt carefully sandwiched a piece and put it in his mouth, and I have to say that the dish is really cold! With this cold weather, my stomach is a little unbearable, but the amount is really cold, and the taste is okay.
"It tastes good, it's just a little cold," Malt said with a smile, and then pushed the dishes she ordered in front of her, "Try mine, I think the ones I chose are not bad."
Xinrou immediately bit her hand and excused herself, "It's still not necessary, I can't eat much, you can keep it and eat it!" ”。
"Then how can it work, you have shared your food with me, then I naturally want you to taste mine, you can taste it, I can't eat so much, how about a quick taste?" Malt looked at her expectantly.
With more than ten years of experience as a foodie, the boiled meat slices are still good, but the peppers are more, next time I have to tell my aunt to put a little less peppers, malt this person, as soon as I eat too many peppers, I always want to shed tears, although I didn't paint something heavy on my face, but to shed tears in front of everyone, I'm afraid it's not a good thing~
Xinrou had no choice but to accept it, carefully picked up a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth, before that, she had never eaten such meat at home, maybe meat was a very luxurious existence at home, she had never tasted such a taste at home before, and now she didn't seem to dare to try it outside.
It's really a unique taste, completely different from the ones I've eaten before, and it turns out that in the mouths of the people in their city, the extremely ordinary food is like this?
"How's it taste?" Malt looked at the girl in front of her expectantly.
Xinrou nodded a little panicked, "It's delicious."
The two of them finished eating and walked out of the cafeteria, the rain outside was still dripping, but it was a little less dense than just now, but the raindrops didn't seem to abate at all.
Walking on the road, Xinrou suddenly asked, "Malt, why do you like Senior Mangni?" Is it because he's handsome? ”。
Malt couldn't answer for a while, maybe it was so, maybe it was admiration for his talent? Or maybe it's because of the book he read that day, in short, everything is fate, and some things can't escape.
"There's no reason to like someone for no reason".
"I see!".
"Haven't you been in a relationship before?" Malt suddenly became a little curious.
Xinrou shook her head a little shyly, before that, she relied on her parents' instructions to complete all kinds of difficult tasks, how could she have time to have some emotions with other boys, and this was a matter strictly forbidden by her parents, and she hadn't thought about this aspect of the problem before, and if she mentioned it again by chance, it was not something that could be touched at once.
"You're really never in a relationship, have you?" Malt was a little incredible, but the girl's face in front of her was already red, so she didn't continue to tease her, "Actually, I didn't either."
"Really?" Xinrou couldn't see it, Malt's lively and confident appearance was completely in contrast to herself.
"Of course it's true! It's just that I have watched too many idol dramas before, and the plot in there is really sweet, but there is no such scene in reality, which breaks all my fantasies about idol dramas and my illusions about love, so I never thought that I would meet my love before this, but since the appearance of Senior Mangni, I feel that my love is back~" Malt imagined his future blueprint and said his beautiful fantasy of love.
It's no exaggeration to say that I thought I wouldn't meet a boy who made my heart like go to college, but there was always a moment when a boy who met any of your heart conditions appeared in front of me, like a dreamy feeling, as if it was difficult to breathe between breaths.
"But I really can't see it, it seems that you have a very good idea of love," Xinrou said on the side.
Malt smiled, it turned out that he was such a person in the hearts of others! All right! "Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, I think it's most important to be able to find someone who makes you feel excited, and you will find it."
"Will I find it too? But it seems that no one has ever liked me, I guess I won't meet it" Xinrou was a little disappointed, maybe because she was dressed plainly, and she was from the countryside, most of us didn't want to contact such people!
"How so? I think you're a very good girl, if I were a boy, I'd chase you," Malt said with a smile on his face.
This made Xinrou a little shy......
