Chen Ya took Liu Ruyan to find a 24-hour convenience store.

Pointing to the freezer with a quick hot bento, Chen Ya said, "Take which one you like?" ”

Liu Ruyan's eyes rolled, swept around the plastic-wrapped meals, and turned back to him: "Can these be eaten?" ”

"What is this called a problem? It's too cheap to invite you to eat. ”

"Not ......"

Liu Ruyan picked up a rattan pepper beef rice bowl in her left hand and a two-color curry omelet rice in her right hand, and said, "I want to eat them all." ”

"Are you a pig?"

Liu Ruyan struggled for a long time, and finally under the urging of her stomach, she reluctantly put down the two-color curry omelet rice.

"It's actually a little bit tasty." Chen Ya pointed to the two-color curry and said.

After that, he went to pick his own supper.

Behind him, Liu Ruyan hurriedly changed the rice in his hand to a two-color curry.

Finally, the two went to the cashier to settle the bill. Chen Ya's supper is a bowl of noodles.

"Do you want to heat it?" The male cashier on the night shift is cool and doesn't talk much.

"Heat up, help me soak the noodles."

"We don't help with seasonings here."

"It's fine."

The cashier put Liu's rice in the microwave, and she sat at an empty table with no food waste, holding her chin in both hands and waiting.

After a while, Chen Ya came over with a bowl of instant noodles.

The bowl was already full of hot water, so he first took out the flour packet and tore it open, and the brown seasoning powder sprinkled on the golden noodles, soaked black by the soup.

Then there was the sauce packet, as soon as the plastic packaging was torn, Liu Ruyan smelled a strange fragrance.

Finally, there are vegetable packets, which look small and cute after dehydration, and the dried vegetables are sprinkled in the noodle soup, laughing and jumping like a naughty child.

Chen Ya stirred with a plastic fork for a while, then inserted it into the instant noodle bowl, fixed the plastic lid on it, and then waited.

During this period, Liu Ruyan kept staring at him.

She saw the whole process of instant noodles for the first time.

Chen Ya's movements are smooth, looking at his instant noodles is like watching teppanyaki.

However, the teppanyaki is all performative, and there is a suspicion of deliberate showmanship, but he is not.

He is full of practicality at every step.

In particular, the last time to fix the noodle lid on the noodle bowl with a fork is whimsical.

If he hadn't performed in front of her, she would never have imagined that the fork could still be used like this.

After a long time, she said, "It's the first time I've seen this." ”

Chen Ya said quietly: "Miss, your world is too far away from us mortals, I think I live on a different planet from you at all." ”

"I don't want to."

"I know, I don't care, and you don't expect me to feel inferior when I face you," Chen Ya said, "I mean, you live in a different world from others at all, how can others understand you?" ”

Returning to this topic, Liu Ruyan became painful again.

"Whether it's strict parents, good babysitters, or even cats that eat salmon until they accumulate food, these are experiences that ordinary people can't have in a lifetime. How do you make others understand your pain? ”

Liu Ruyan didn't speak, but her expression was very uncomfortable.

Chen Ya didn't speak either. He's a cool guy, and if no one else answers, he won't say more than three sentences.

After a while, Liu Ruyan stared at the braised beef painted on the instant noodle bowl and said, "How can I make others ...... Understand? ”

"You have to learn to understand everything, at least to understand things that are different from yourself."

Liu Ruyan tried to swallow his words with great difficulty, and decomposed what he could understand from it.

Chen Ya opened the lid of the instant noodles, and a strange fragrance gushed out with the heat, rising to the ceiling, and then fainting, spreading throughout the space.

Liu Ruyan had never smelled this fragrance before.

Whether it's kaiseki cuisine or teppanyaki, it doesn't smell as good as she smells now.

Chen Ya checked the tendon of the noodles and closed the lid again.

"The two-color curry is ready."

The waiter at the cash register said.

Liu Ruyan was stunned in place, Chen Ya reminded her to get it, and she went over to get her food back.

Placed on the table, she stared at the well-packaged plastic seal.

“……”

Chen Ya took her food, helped her tear open the package, and pushed it in front of her eyes.

"It's ready to eat."

The girl noticed: there is no instant noodle fragrance.

So, for the second time in her life, she mustered up the courage to take a tentative step into her unknown world:

"I want to eat you."

Chen Ya glared at her: "You are more expensive than me!" ”

"But, I just want to eat you."

Chen Ya pushed the instant noodles to her, and watched Liu Ruyan pick up a few noodles with his sloppy fork without care.

"You might as well pick more, you don't need your aristocratic etiquette to eat instant noodles."

Liu Ruyan's face flushed.

After a moment, she looked up.

It was as if she had been in a drought for a long time, and she felt her whole body swell, like a balloon that was gradually filled.

It's so delicious.

Soon, the sound of "sucking and sucking" noodles leaked out uncontrollably like a coquettish pant, and spread throughout the convenience store.

"This one is delicious."

In between sucking her face, she raised her head and took a moment to speak, and then immediately buried her head again.

Chen Ya picked up the spoon and moved her rice in front of him: "Fortunately, you ordered two-color curry, I don't like rattan pepper beef." ”

Halfway through the two-color curry, the diced chicken in it had not yet been eaten, and Liu Ruyan had finished the noodles and looked at him with a look of unfinished thinking.

"Is this delicious for you?"

Chen Ya looked at her helplessly: "You haven't eaten enough?" ”

Liu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "A little." ”

"That'...... Would you like to try it? ”

"Taste a little." Liu Ruyan had greed on her face that could not be concealed.

Chen Ya pushed the half-eaten omelet rice to her with a shocked face, and just wanted to get a new pair of disposable chopsticks, but Liu Ruyan directly picked up the chicken in the bowl with a fork.

"Well, it's delicious, but it's not as delicious as instant noodles."

Chen Ya pressed his forehead and leaned back in his chair.

He had nothing more to say.

After eating, the two piled up the garbage by the wall, and Liu Ruyan lay on the table.

"What's next?" Chen Ya asked while picking out his mobile phone, "When will you go to the lake again?" ”

Liu Ruyan's brain was lazy, she didn't want to think, and said, "I think, wait a few days before going." ”

"Don't want to jump into the lake?"

"No, I want to think about it." She felt her eyelids grow heavier.

"Planning to go home?"

"Don't go back," Liu Ruyan felt that her voice came from far away, "Go back, you will be killed." ”

"It's good, then you don't have to write a suicide note."

Liu Ruyan no longer had the strength to answer this joke, her lips squirmed, but she didn't say anything.

She fell asleep on her desk.

She slept soundly and had a misty dream.

The next morning, she opened her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.
