343 Habits of Past Lives
This is a Hunan restaurant, the location is very private, not easy to find, his signature dish, is the famous chopped pepper fish head. Unlike other Hunan restaurants, the fish in this restaurant is very large, and all the ingredients used are from Hunan, so the taste is quite good.
Watching me gobble up, sweating profusely and eating the fish head, Xue Jing couldn't help frowning, she ordered two vegetarian dishes by herself, eating very slowly, the fish head was almost half wiped out by me, she didn't even touch a chopstick.
"Don't just eat vegetables like a rabbit, come on, eat some fish heads!" I say.
She smiled and shook her head, "Uh...... I'm not used to it, I'm embarrassed to eat it, it's enough for me to have greens. ”
"Excuse me? What's there to be embarrassed about? I put down my chopsticks, "No wonder you said you haven't eaten, it's the same when you came with him before, right?" ”
She glanced at me and slowly put down her chopsticks, "This is the second time I've been here, and the first time he brought me here." ”
"Oh...... That's right", I looked at her, "are you alright?" ”
She smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, he also persuaded me to eat fish heads, but I just didn't want to eat it, it was quite unpleasant that day, but he was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he endured it and didn't get angry." ”
"And then?"
"No later," she said, "two days later, we had an argument and we broke up." ”
I looked at the rest of the fish head and swallowed.
"I'm sorry, why did you talk about this," she smiled, "don't disturb your appetite for dinner, eat quickly." ”
I looked at the fish head, and then at her, "Xue Jing, try it, this thing is actually quite delicious." ”
She was stunned for a moment, "You ......"
"I also hate it when people make me eat things I don't like," I said to her, "but from now on, you should try something new." You say you're embarrassed to eat fish, but do you know what this fish eats when it grows so big? ”
"I don't know," she shook her head, "what is it?" ”
"Feed," I said, "and small fish." ”
"Does that have anything to do with me?" She cautiously asked, "Because it eats small fish, so I have to eat it?" ”
I smiled, "Of course not, I let you eat it, the only reason is because this dish is delicious, I love it, so I also want you to share my happiness, that's all." ”
"But I ......," she was embarrassed.
"It's okay", I picked up the chopsticks, "As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, I respect your eating habits, since you don't eat this fish, then I'm welcome." Waiter, add me two more bowls of rice! ”
Xue Jing simply stopped eating, and looked at me intently, seeing how I ate the fish head, she was shocked at first, and when she saw the end, maybe because I ate it was too fragrant, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
I looked at her, smiled and picked up a piece of fish lip and put it on her plate, "This is the best thing, I've always kept it for you!" ”
She hesitated for a moment, picked up her chopsticks and picked up the fish's lips, "This ...... Is it really that delicious? ”
"Yes, you try it, if you don't think it tastes good, spit it out for me, and I'll eat it again!" I said it seriously.
She frowned, "Oh, why are you so disgusting......"
I smiled, "It depends on who said this, it's not disgusting at all to say it to a beautiful woman like you, if you say it to a big man with a scruffy beard, then it's ......"
She snorted, covered her mouth and smiled, the lip almost falling off the table.
"Don't laugh, try it, I'm waiting", I looked at her.
She couldn't help laughing, looked at the fish lips, took a deep breath, took a small bite, chewed slowly, and frowned.
"What? Not tasty? I quickly asked.
She put down her chopsticks, thought for a moment, and pointed to the bowl of white rice in front of me that she hadn't eaten yet, "Can you share some of your rice?" ”
I smiled and put the rice in front of her, "That's for you!" ”
She also smiled, "This is quite delicious, so I'll ...... Just eat it? ”
"Eat, I'll watch you eat!"
She put down her chopsticks and prayed with both hands, "Fish, fish, I'm sorry, I'm really not angry, I can't resist the temptation of deliciousness, I can only eat you, I hope you, don't blame me......" After praying, she picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly and ate elegantly.
I smiled with relief, and a sense of accomplishment came over me. It's not that it's glorious to successfully fool her into eating fish, but this incident is a beginning, and its symbolic significance is far greater than its practical significance.
Many of Xue Jing's habits are related to the habits of her previous life, and if she is still a cultivator in this life, there is no need to change those habits at all. But now it's different, she's going to cross the calamity, so these habits have to be adjusted, some can be kept, some have to be corrected, and eating is the first thing.
I didn't touch the rest of the little fish's head, so I left it to her.
After eating, she looked at me embarrassedly while wiping her mouth, "Am I ...... Pretty ridiculous? ”
"Of course not, you are very brave and defeated yourself", I smiled, "Xue Jing, since you can eat meat, eat some in the future, some habits have to be changed, this will be good for you in the future, understand?" ”
She looked at me for a moment and nodded slowly, "Well, okay." ”
I was so happy that I took out my wallet and called the waiter to prepare to pay, but she quickly stopped me when she saw it, "I'll invite you when I say it's okay!" ”
"You treat, I'll pay, there's no problem", I said.
"No way!" Her attitude was very resolute, "Our Xue family has always done what we say, if we say I invite, I will invite, if you have to rob me, you will look down on me and don't treat me as a friend!" ”
I was stunned, "Why do you look so much like Uncle Ming!" ”
"How fresh, he's my dad, who am I not like him?" Xue Jing took out her card and handed it to the waiter, "There is no password." ”
"Okay miss, please wait", the waiter took the card, turned and left.
I laughed, "Xue Jing, you looked like a boy just now." ”
She looked at me, "Really?" Doesn't that look silly? ”
"Why do you always think you're stupid?" I wondered.
"Because ......," she thought for a moment, "because my dad used to say that about me." ”
"Your dad loves you, nickname, do you understand?" I explained, "Just like me, I often call my girlfriend fool, and that's because I like it, you're such a kid." ”
"Do you have a girlfriend?" She looked at me, "How did you meet?" Schoolmate? Or was it introduced by someone else? ”
"Uh...... Chance encounters. ”
"If you meet by chance, can you become a boyfriend and girlfriend?" She nodded, "I see." ”
I can't help but be a little confused, don't say a wealthy lady, even an ordinary girl from the countryside won't feel unusual! Could it be that it is because the environment in which she grew up is too closed, so she is out of touch with this era? Or is she emotionally too tightly controlled and really doesn't know anything about this?
"Xue Jing, don't you understand these things?" , I looked at her, "Even if it's a TV series, you should understand, it's all about acting every day!" ”
She glanced at me and smiled slightly, "Can the things in the TV series be taken seriously?" My aunt always said that it was all a lie, so I didn't believe it. ”
"Why did your aunt say that?" I was puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of misleading you and making you unable to fall in love when you grow up?" ”
At this time, the waiter sent the list over, Xue Jing looked at it, took the pen and signed her name.
"I don't know these things, she, like my dad, doesn't allow me to have too much contact with male classmates, and doesn't allow me to watch those messy TV series", she took her card and put it back in her bag, "Then one day suddenly said to me, Jingjing, you have grown up, it's time to fall in love and have a boyfriend, and then let me meet him and let me be his girlfriend." I thought it was weird, but I didn't think much about it, so I talked to him. ”
"And did you feel for him later?" I asked.
"I don't know what you said, but I'm not very happy with him, I always feel that this so-called falling in love is like performing a mission", she smiled helplessly, "I think Tan Wei feels the same way, but we didn't say it." ”
It turned out that the person's name was Tan Wei.
"Since you don't like him, why are you so uncomfortable when you break up?" I asked.
She was silent.
"I'm sorry, I've asked too much, let's go", I felt speechless and quickly changed the subject.
"There's nothing to be sorry for," she said lightly, "I'm really sad because his words are so hurtful." He said to me, since we are lovers, we should share happiness and hardship, and he needs money, but I don't help him, so he scolds me for being hypocritical. He also said......"
"What else?" I looked at her, "You tell me everything." ”
She sighed softly, "He also said that he was with me to see my father's face and save me." He said that my life was saved by his grandfather, and I owed them to the Tan family, and said that if he didn't stay with me, I wouldn't live long, saying that he had paid so much for me, but I was so unreasonable, and he was disappointed in me. ”
"!" I couldn't help but curse.
She looked at me, "What did you say?" ”
"Nothing," I paused, "does your dad know that?" ”
She smiled calmly, "How dare I let him know that he would kill Tan Wei." ”
"That bastard hurts you with such words, and you still think about him?"
"That's why I asked you, am I really stupid", she said lightly.
"Kindness is not stupid, it's really fucking stupid to treat other people's kindness as stupid people", I breathed a sigh of relief, "Xue Jing, don't take that bastard's words to heart, you are a kind and good girl, he is not worthy of you." ”
She glanced at me and smiled, "Thank you, I listened to your words steadily." ”
I nodded, looked at my watch, and said, "Let's stop sitting here and find a hotel." ”
"Okay, my college classmate works in a hotel, and I'll ask him to reserve two rooms," she said, pulling out her phone to make a call.
"Not two, but one," I said, "and we'll live together these days." ”
She was stunned, "You...... You say we ...... Live together? ”
"Yes, live together", I was calm.
She looked at me nervously, "Lin ...... Brother Lin, you're not kidding, are you? ”
