Chapter Twenty-Five: Foodies

When he was about to arrive at the carport, Xia Qiyue's face was a little bad after he hung up the phone, and he turned his head to look at him: "If there are some things you can't do, then just do what you can." ”

"That being said, hey, there are some things that you can't do just to ignore and ignore." Xiang Yang smiled bitterly and sighed, he also wanted to do what he could, but it backfired, living like an old man every day, and he was quite tired, thinking of this, he asked: "Are you 18?" ”

Xia Qiyue didn't answer his words, and replied: "17, what about you?" ”

"Two years older than you, little man, you're like 15." Xiang Yang rubbed her hair, didn't want to think about the annoying trivialities anymore, and relaxed the corners of his mouth.

“19?” Xia Qiyue tilted his head to look at him.

"Yes, I'm an adult, but it's a pity you're still young." Xiang Yang glanced at her and raised his eyebrows: "What?" Am I like 29? ”

Xia Qiyue burst out laughing, stopped and took out the key while unlocking the lock and said, "No, I just think you're going to school late." ”

"I've taken a year off, and I'm going to re-study in my first year of high school, it's okay, but there are a lot of 19-year-old sophomores." Xiang Yang casually touched a cigarette and held it in his mouth again.

"Take a leave of absence?" Xia Qiyue asked, pushed the cart and walked side by side with him and said, "If you want to smoke, you can smoke, see what I do." As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qiyue's stomach purred twice, and he lowered his head in embarrassment and didn't look at him.

"Well, aren't you underage?" Xiang Yang laughed, still didn't order, took it off for a while and stuffed it back into the cigarette case, and put his hand in his trouser pocket: "Eat some?" ”

Xia Qiyue glanced at his phone: "It's late, can you get up tomorrow?" ”

"I'm often late and no one says anything, so you can just get up." Xiang Yang looked at her with a smile, it was very cold today, the north wind was blowing all the time, he didn't wear much, it would feel like his teeth were a little fighting, and he didn't wait for her to refuse to step on the bicycle directly: "Come up, don't go, you will have to collect my body in a while." ”

Xia Qiyue was about to hesitate, but Xiang Yang took advantage of the situation and pulled her: "Sit down, it's cold." ”

Xiang Yang's breath is the breath of Xia Qiyue, an indescribable fragrance exudes the smell of youth, which makes people think about it, she is very thin, even if she wears a wide cotton clothes, she also feels that the person in the chest is only a little bigger, Xia Qituan is in front of his chest, to be honest, this posture is a little uncomfortable, panic, Xiang Yang rides very fast, this is a road that Xia Qiyue has not come.

It is very lively, people who drink wine and eat meat and Kan Dashan abound, and from time to time there are people who drink too much and howl in two throats, do you love me.

The snacks on both sides of the street are full of exquisite, barbecue, spicy hot, mutton powder, and even that kind of small hot pot, the fragrance wafting everywhere makes Xia Qiyue feel that he is hungry and can swallow a cow, and his eyes are bright.

Xiang Yang stopped the car: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I want to eat everything, it's so fragrant, I've been here for so long, I never knew there was such a street, I was stunned." Xia Qiyue swallowed her saliva, she has been eating at her aunt's house or at the school gate for a while, either spicy or eating a few things every day, which has already paralyzed the taste nerves.

Xiang Yang looked at her gluttony and smiled and said, "Then eat everything?" ”

Xia Qiyue shook his head: "Although I want to eat it very much, I can't eat much, it's too wasteful." He rubbed his hands and looked around, and pointed to a family that was not particularly crowded: "I want to eat hot pot, but he doesn't have many family members, will it be delicious?" ”

"Hot pot." Xiang Yang thought for a moment: "Let's go, I'll take you to the back to eat." ”

Xia Qiyue followed him for a while, there was a shop covered by a cotton curtain, she couldn't see what was sold inside, Xiang Yang opened the curtain, Xia Qiyue followed in, and the fragrance that came to her face as soon as she entered the door made her swallow her saliva.

There are a lot of people in this family, and there are many people waiting with numbers, and they glanced at the clock in the shape of a large plate hanging on the wall, and it will be eleven o'clock in a while, and there are still so many people waiting, what time will it be to eat?

"Otherwise, let's change the company, there are too many people, and we don't know what time it is." Xia Qiyue pulled Xiang Yang's arm, and Xiang Yang was looking at the mobile phone message, "Huh? A quick reply.

"You come with me." Xiang Yang rubbed her hair and motioned for her to go along.

This hot pot restaurant is a three-story building, the outside can not see the decoration, before entering the door I thought it was an old shop, into the inside to know that the area is quite large, the decoration is also good, very trendy, there are several landscape paintings on the wall more than one meter long, there are two words on the sign on each table, foodie.

It should be the name of the store.

When Xia Qiyue followed him all the way to the third floor, he saw a tall and thin man who was very familiar, walked towards them with a smile, and beckoned to them: "Go to my house." ”

"I thought you weren't there." Xiang Yang said: "Why didn't you stay at home with your aunt today." ”

"I got off work early today, come over and help, my mother has been okay recently, so let me come out, and I'm anxious to find a partner." After the man finished smiling, he beckoned to Xia Qiyue: "Classmate, long time no see." ”

This sentence brought up Xia Qiyue's memory, it was the school doctor in the school, but he was wearing a casual dress today, he didn't have glasses yet, his eyelashes were very long, and he was a little gentle, and he almost didn't connect with the serious white coat, she opened her mouth in surprise: "It's you, School Doctor Jiang, I'm sorry, you didn't have glasses, I almost didn't recognize it." ”

Jiang Zhiyan smiled and waved his hand as he walked, "What's so embarrassing about this, we did it once before, or when you had a high fever, I was already very happy to think about it, haha." "It's been a long time.

Xia Qiyue thought of the fake scar on his face, and asked carefully: "Doctor Jiang, can you see the road clearly without glasses?" ”

Before Jiang Zhiyan could speak, Xiang Yang interjected with a smile: "He? When you don't wear glasses, there is no distinction between men and women outside 5 meters, and there is no distinction between humans and animals outside 50 meters. ”

Hearing this answer, their hearts relaxed, Xia Qiyue and Jiang Zhiyan both smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just a little vague, but my observation is still quite strong, at least I can remember anyone I have met." ”

Xia Qiyue still admires him a lot, she is a little face blind, she has seen more than three times before she can accurately recognize who it is, and sincerely praise him: "That's really amazing." ”

Follow him to the innermost room, the decoration of the house is very simple, only a bed and a table with hot pot, and six or seven stools, the walls are just painted white, and there is nothing else, Jiang Zhiyan asked them to sit for a while, went out to ask someone to arrange hot pot, and brought a menu when they came back: "See what you want to eat?" ”

"I want a frozen tofu, you can order the rest, can you eat the mandarin duck pot?" Xia Qiyue put the menu in front of Xiang Yang: "I don't eat spicy." ”

Xiang Yang glanced at her: "Yes, he doesn't eat spicy either, so the rest will be the same." ”

"Okay, let's get some white?" Without waiting for Xiang Yang to answer, Jiang Zhiyan said again: "Forget it, don't drink it." ”

"Huh? Then what do you mean by asking me? Xiang Yang smiled and raised his eyebrows at him.

"I'm used to asking Fan Ming." Jiang Zhiyan handed the list to the waiter and asked for a mandarin duck pot.

"Are you still working part-time here?" Xia asked him.

"No, it's my friend's business, and it's a little bit of a stake." Jiang Zhiyan's hand was also measured, and it looked very small: "The school salary is a little lower, and it is not enough." ”

"Your Uncle Jiang is a filial son, and his mother likes to eat hot pot." Xiang Yang said to Xia Qiyue.

"Xiangyang, your uncle, am I that old?" Jiang Zhiyan glanced at him: "If you don't squeeze me for a day, you'll be uncomfortable, right?" ”

Xiang Yang nodded with a serious face, and Xia Qiyue held back a smile on the side, "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, you're welcome." Xiang Yang said.

The two of them lost a few words to each other, until the pot was boiling, and the dishes did not stop bickering, the first time they saw Xiang Yang like this, they talked a lot, Xia Qiyue laughed while eating, and the meat sandwiched on the chopsticks fell back into his bowl several times.

"Okay, Xiangyang, I said if you're a little excited today." Jiang Zhiyan said: "I usually don't see you eating and can't stop." ”

Xiang Yang stuffed a cow ball into his mouth and said inarticulately: "Yes, after a day of freezing, I finally ate a hot meal, can you not be excited?" ”

"Such a pitiful reward for your ribs." After Jiang Zhiyan finished speaking, he put a few pieces in his bowl: "You're welcome." Then he gave Xia Qiyue a spoonful of mutton rolls with a colander: "Eat more." ”

"Thank you." Xia Qiyue nodded: "It's delicious." "The soup in the bottom of the pot is rich and fragrant, and the sesame sauce in the oil bowl doesn't know if it's special, but I always feel that the taste is different from what I used to eat, and it's very fragrant and not greasy.

"You have to say thank you, Uncle Jiang." Xiang Yang rubbed Xia Qiyue's hair, and Xia Qiyue tilted his head: "Thank you... I can't call it, Doctor Jiang looks a few years older than us. ”

Jiang Zhiyan sighed, glanced at Xiang Yang's movements, and smiled: "I'm full, go out to smoke a cigarette, you two eat first." ”

Xiang Yang nodded, and Xia Qiyue looked at him: "You go too, I see that you have been holding back all the way." ”

Xiang Yang hesitated: "That's okay, I'll come back in a while, you eat slowly." Before leaving, he rubbed her hair again: "Then I'll go." ”

"Hmm." Xia Qiyue answered, as if he was a little used to always rubbing his head, and smiled bitterly, habit is really a terrible thing.

Xiang Yang caught up with him in three steps and two steps, and Jiang Zhiyan was stunned for a moment when he saw him come out: "Why did you come out?" ”

"Hold it back, let's go together." Xiang Yang said.

"It's been 19 years, and it's a little suffocating." Jiang Zhiyan looked like I understood.

"Your uncle, I'll just come out and smoke a cigarette, don't slander me with your mind of reading villain books." Xiang Yang slapped him: "How can you owe more than Fan Mingzui now." ”

Jiang Zhiyan dodged for a while and asked him, "What are you two talking about?" ”

Xiang Yang took out the cigarette and handed it to his hand and paused, and after he took it, he lit it and smoked it, and slowly spit out a smoke ring before slowly saying, "No, it's just a simple friendship between friends." ”

"Don't pull you off." Jiang Zhiyan looked incredulous, and squinted at him: "Growing so big, who have you taken to dinner?" ”

"You and Fan Ming are not human?" Xiang Yang laughed.

"Is it the same?" Jiang Zhiyan watched him lying on the window swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Xiang Yang looked at the passers-by outside, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his happy expression, Xiang Yang sighed: "It's different." ”

Jiang Zhiyan patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't always put so much pressure on yourself, there are some things she may not be able to accept." ”

Xiang Yang didn't look at him and replied to himself: "It's one thing whether she can accept it, it's another thing if I don't want her to accept it, no one wants to let such a shackle be put around his neck, because if he puts it on, it may be a lifetime." ”
