Chapter 36: Deep-fried Cake in My Hometown

"Are you 25?"

"Hmm."

"Have you been in a relationship before?"

"Of course I did."

"How many?"

"Four, five."

"Then why broke up?"

"Personality incompatibility, no money, no house, all kinds of reasons."

"What do you do now?"

"Miscellaneous people, errand runners."

"How do you usually play on vacation?"

"Sleep, play games" Li Xiang said with strong impatience and disdain, and flipped through the mobile phone webpage in his hand.

In the afternoon café, the classic background music of "Love Story" was played.

Lee tried to answer the question of the boy sitting across from her.

His name is Shi Lei, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose.

The beard is very clean, about 1.76 meters, 30 years old.

I've been working for a real estate company since graduating from college.

He has already bought a house in the provincial capital.

It was introduced by Li Xiang's mother to a relative.

Mom and Dad often nagged in front of her about the things they dealt with, and they coped with it every time.

But this time, it was said that the other party's conditions were very good, the people were also down-to-earth, and they were about the same age.

The boy's hometown is still in the same county seat as Li Xiang, so he has to force Li Xiang to come on a blind date.

"Were you forced by your parents to come?" Shi Lei suddenly asked Li Xiang with a smile.

"Well, how do you know?" Li Xiang was surprised.

"I don't think you're the kind of person you say."

"Can you find this too?"

"Your acting skills are too poor, and I'm the same as you, I can't stand the urging of my parents, and I came to them with a wish."

"Haha, connected by the same fate, why are you 30 years old and haven't been in love yet?"

"It's hard to put into words, I have someone I like, she doesn't like me, I'm still working on it...."

"Well, so do I."

"Does the other party know that you like him?"

"I don't know, oh, yes he doesn't know yet."

"I'm better than you, at least I've confessed, a big step forward than you."

..........

Then the two chatted frankly.

Li wanted to find that the other party was the same in many ways as himself.

Shi Lei also belongs to the more persistent and motivated type.

Both of them like to eat snacks, and the more they talk, the more they fall in love.

From history to astronomy.

From movies to life.

From work to jokes.

I also talked about eating and playing in my hometown.

It feels like there's a lot to talk about.

"Do you remember the one in Yuhongqiaotou, the county seat, who sells fried cakes?" Li Xiang asked Shi Lei excitedly.

"Why don't you remember, I like to eat very much, it's the boss's son who was admitted to Tsinghua University, and it caused a sensation in the whole county."

"Well, me too, I used to eat their salt-and-pepper fried cake every morning in high school."

"Now they rent a shop next to it, and they also sell egg cakes and steamed vegetables."

"Well, that's it, I went home last month to buy egg baked cakes, which are very delicious and cheap."

"I've eaten a lot of restaurants here, and they don't taste like that."

"Just that's it"

"Then let's go back and eat together next time."

"Good, good"

.......

Night falls.

When it was time for dinner, the two went to find a hot pot restaurant nearby without discussion.

They sat by the window, and the two of them turned the chat scene to the hot pot restaurant.

It turns out that both of them are not afraid of spicy.

After eating, Shi Lei was ready to pay.

Li Xiang resolutely demanded the AA system.

After the meal, they discussed how they would talk back to their families.

left each other's WeChat, saying that everyone will be friends in the future.

You can also be an emotional counselor for each other from the perspective of men and women.

It is agreed that whoever gives up will have a big dinner.

Midsummer night.

The cool breeze blows, and under the illumination of neon lights, street lights, and car lights, the city reveals its bustle.

Like colorful fireworks splashing down the world, the dark night sky is dotted with stars.

It's been five years since Li thought about the city, and he hasn't paid as close attention to the night scene as he does today.
