Lan Yi Western Restaurant is not a very high-end restaurant, it belongs to the Western restaurant with a special style of the restaurant, it has always been run by foreigners, so the waiters are also foreigners. Why Fang Jinyan knows is because she used to come here to eat before going abroad. And she almost always orders vegetable soup.

It was a memory that hadn't been opened in a long time.

Before going abroad, she was a student with poor English. Because it was too bad, I participated in an intensive training class, which was similar to the normal class, but the time was slightly different, and the intensive training class was unique to the training institutions at that time, which was specially set up for students studying abroad. One semester per year, each semester lasts more than half a year. During that half a year, the classmates were together almost every day.

Fang Jinyan was still an ignorant and quiet and introverted little girl at that time. Probably because they are together every day, and these students are gathered here from all over the world. There are those who listen carefully, those who make gags, and those who sleep in class. It is precisely because the future path of their group of people is to study abroad, so the teacher will not be too strict with the students, and when they encounter students who do not want to learn, the teacher has no choice but to let the students develop at will.

But this time, the homeroom teacher they met was very enthusiastic and cheerful, funny in class, and they would often gather with everyone after class, and they would not leave any students behind. According to the words of the teacher at that time: one day as a teacher and a father for life, although it is only more than half a year, no matter where the students are in the future, the reunion is fate, so you have to cherish it.

Under such enthusiasm, the slow-burning Fang Jinyan also began to slowly integrate into this temporary gathering group. In the past, because the teacher liked this room very much, it was cheap and could take students to experience the English environment, so he often brought everyone to party here.

She used to be so bad that she couldn't say a complete sentence in English, and the menu here was all in English, and she could only understand salad & soup. Although there were classmates in the class at that time who were good at English and would help other students who couldn't read the menu, she was the only one who was the most introverted. She would always watch silently, always thinking that she was not familiar with everyone, and she was a little timid and afraid to take the initiative to ask. But when they went to the restaurant for the second time, she sat on the sidelines, watching everyone laughing, and one of the classmates suddenly asked, "Do you only eat salads?" The last time I saw you, it was just a salad. She smiled awkwardly: Actually, she meant that she understood the salad.

When the teacher heard this, she quickly called the child who asked the question to help translate, so that she could successfully order the steak and pasta she wanted to eat. At that time, she didn't know how grateful she was, and she always remembered that the vegetable soup was delicious. It's almost a must-order for her at this restaurant. It's just that I've been abroad for too long, and I don't have the heart to go out to eat Western food after returning home. After so many years, she has long forgotten those classmates, and she doesn't even remember the teacher's last name. It's just because of the teacher's words and the cheerful and humorous that Fang Jinyan roughly remembers what the teacher used to be.

Time flies, and the deceased is like this. Over the years, people have come and gone, gathering and dispersing, and she has long been used to it. But Yin Yin, these long-forgotten memories suddenly appeared in life, making the dusty pictures flash in her mind, but she couldn't remember any of them. This feeling made her a little stunned, it turned out that it had been so long. It's been so long that I've forgotten the taste of the vegetable soup that I liked so much at the time.

But in the next second, when the vegetable soup was placed in front of her eyes, the familiar taste and familiar feeling made her a little inexplicably moved, and she said happily: "It's still the same delicious." ”

Qin Moru smiled and asked, "You come often?" ”

"It was many years ago. I used to come here to eat, but I forgot a little about it. Just for a moment, the familiar feeling returned. Fang Jinyan seemed to remember something in her heart, and wanted to call it out, but for a while, as if she had missed something, she asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Qin, have you also attended intensive training at the Siyue Training Institution before?" ”

Qin Moru listened, took a sip of soup, and raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What do you remember? ”

Fang Jinyan looked at his expression, and there was a kind of excitement in her heart, as if she was going to reunite with someone in the past, and suddenly a picture flashed in her heart, and she said silently: Qin Moru, Ethan, Southern California......

Ethan?! She asked with some delight, "Ethan, are you Ethan?" Ethan, who has a super good memory and excellent English. Fang Jinyan's happy voice was a little louder, and when she found out, she quickly retracted and continued: "Your surname is actually Qin!" ”

“……”

Qin Moru continued to smile and said, "Ethel, it's hard for you to remember. I can't remember it until now. ”

"......" Fang Jinyan listened, a little speechless, and defended: "You think I'm the same as you?" Excellent memory?? ”

Qin Moru was noncommittal, and even nodded and said, "That's right." I still remember when you arrived at class early, but never left early. I just doze off a lot and don't talk to everyone after class. ”

“……”

"But you were often with a girl back then." Qin Moru recalled as she spoke, and continued: "Oh yes, it seems to be called Cara. ”

Fang Jinyan admired the five bodies at this time, looked at him, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Big brother! You have a great memory! I can't even remember her name, not even what she looked like. ”

“……”

"Then why do you remember my name?" Qin Moru asked, but remembered something again, and added: "But I don't remember my surname." ”

“…… Burst. Fang Jinyan explained: "This is purely accidental. ”

So when the homeroom teacher talked about the similarity of words and the difference between different ways of reading, she took "Ethan" and "Ethel" as examples, when Fang Jinyan was still dozing off, and when she was groggy, she heard the teacher suddenly call her name, and she was so frightened that she sat up, thinking that the teacher was going to ask some questions. The next second, I heard the teacher continue, "This is a typical example of words that seem to be similar, but the pronunciation is very different." After that, I added that it is not easy for these two names to be in the same class. Fang Jinyan remembered that she was completely sleepy at that time, and carefully glanced at the other classmate who was laughing, met his eyes, and immediately turned her head in fright.

But this classmate was the one who later found out that she only ate salad and often helped her order. At that time, the class would always call each other by English names, and no one spoke Chinese names at all, so she never knew what anyone's last name was.

Speaking of this, Fang Jinyan also added: "If it weren't for the teacher's joke, I probably wouldn't have known that your name was Ethan, and I wouldn't have known that the person who always helped me order food was you." After saying that, he giggled.

After Qin Moru heard this, he sighed twice and said, "Your memory is really bad." ”

"That's, after all, it's so bad compared to yours!" Fang Jinyan didn't realize that she was getting along with him at this time, and she was a lot less restrained.

“……”

Qin Moru said faintly: "I seem to remember what everyone in the class liked to eat at that time. ”

“……”

"It's kind of scary, isn't it? Big brother, the CPU capacity of your head is probably a lot higher than that of ordinary people like us. Fang Jinyan admired from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Moru was amused and continued: "You are not the only one who has said that it is terrible. But I don't usually tell anyone. After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of soup, and continued: "You haven't contacted them again?" ”

"Well, no." She always felt like she couldn't fit in.

"Not even Cara?"

"Nope. You told me her name, and she seems to have said she was going to Australia. What about you? Is there a connection? ”

"At the beginning, there was still separation, but after they went to different places, they gradually faded."

"Hmm."

For most of the year, it was not a memory worth remembering for her. In the era when there was no WeChat, email was not a commonly used chat tool, there may be QQ, but this group of people may have been each other's passers-by at the beginning, and some people have not even thought about where to study abroad. Fang Jinyan thought that she would go to Australia at the time, but she didn't expect to go to the United States instead. Unexpectedly, after so many years, one of the passers-by became a colleague who intersected with her, so the fate in the world is wonderful.

Some people, she once hoped to have another fate, but in fact she has no chance. Even in the same city, you can't meet again. But what she doesn't know is that some people, even if they are thousands of miles apart, as long as they are destined, they can always meet and know each other at a certain point.

Probably because of this level of classmate relationship, Fang Jinyan felt a lot less restrained about Qin Moru, even if Qin Moru paid the bill just now, she didn't think about grabbing or being embarrassed, and always thought that she should be able to invite her back next time. Although the two had a good conversation just now, they couldn't improve Qin Moru's haggard at this time, so Jin Yan boldly proposed: "You seem to be very tired, why don't I help you drive and send me home by myself, and then you will go back?" ”

Qin Moru just asked suspiciously, "Do you know how to drive?" ”

“……”

Fang Jinyan glanced at him and said, "My driving skills are not bad, okay!" Although you may not have seen it, sometimes I drive the company car when I go out. She didn't say she still had a car, it's not a short age! It's just that after going to work at THE ONE, because I am in the city, it is easy to get stuck in traffic, so I occasionally drive when necessary.

"Oh." After hearing this, Qin Moru naturally walked to the passenger seat and said to her, "Then you can drive." ”

"......" Fang Jinyan thought that he would not worry about her opening, or be polite, but she didn't expect him to be so direct, which made Jinyan laugh a little.

After getting in the car, Jinyan still said to him: "Don't worry." You have a good rest first, and I'll call you when I arrive. ”

Fang Jinyan is actually very stable in driving, she has always thought that her driving skills are good, in the previous company, colleagues also said that she is a female driver, but she drives other people's cars, she has always been more stable.

Not long after opening, Fang Jinyan seemed to hear the even breathing of the people next to her, so she turned down the volume of the music, smiled, and said softly: "Sleep well." ”

Until Fang Jinyan arrived at the gate of her own community, she was about to wake up the person next to her, it could be seen that he was asleep at this time, and remembered that when he helped her out of the siege a while ago, she suddenly felt a little unbearable. I looked at the time, and it was half past eleven o'clock in the evening. Or, let him sleep more.

Jinyan hung up the P gear, parked next to the entrance of the community, sat quietly in the car, swiped her mobile phone, listened to his even breathing, and tried not to wake him up.

Half an hour later, Jin Yan saw 12 o'clock, felt that it was almost, and was about to wake up the people next to her, but she didn't expect someone to knock on her door and window, Jin Yan opened the window, and found that it was the doorman uncle who came over, saw that it was Fang Jinyan, smiled, and asked, "Miss Fang, are you waiting for someone?" I looked at this car here for a while, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Qin Moru was woken up by this voice, sat up anxiously, and heard Fang Jinyan say, "Oh, no. I'm ready to go in. Thank you. ”

"Okay~ Then you're busy." After the doorman confirmed that it was her, he left with peace of mind.

Qin Moru heard their conversation, looked around, found that it had arrived, and asked, "Why didn't you call me when you arrived?" ”

Seeing him sit up, Fang Jinyan turned her head to the back seat to take her bag, and said, "Seeing that you sleep so well, I want you to rest more." I was about to call you, but I didn't expect to be woken up by the doorman. She smiled at him.

"Oh, good." Qin Moru watched her open the car door, opened the car door herself, walked over to the driver's seat, and said to her, "Thank you." He knew that according to the time they left the restaurant, he should be able to get to her house half an hour ago.

Looking at Fang Jinyan's back as she walked into the community, Qin Moru smiled and drove away.
