Mixed Chapter 23
byDuplicity
Driving through the bustling city and into an old street.
Song Shixue parked the car in the parking space next to the intersection: “Get out of the car, we still have to walk a while and enter the alley.”
Chi Nuan saw that most of the doors were closed nearby and there was no one around. He could only hear the rustle of a few garbage bags being blown around on the ground.
She unbuckled her seat belt: “Does Teacher Song come here often to eat?”
Song Shixue closed the car door and pressed the lock button, “Well, it comes once every ten days and a half, is that considered regular?”
“Uh, forget it.”
Chi Nuan and Song Shixue walked into the alley together. It would be really scary if there were no warm yellow old-fashioned street lamps around as lighting equipment.It wasn’t until Chi Nuan reached the end that he saw its true face – a fly restaurant with less than fifty square meters.
The floor retains its original flavor without laying floor tiles.The signboard and walls on the facade have long been turned yellow by oil smoke, and the ceiling fan on the ceiling is still squeaking.If the aroma of cooking and the sound of clinking spatulas weren’t filling the air, Chi Nuan would really wonder if he had traveled through time.
A burly man with a bald head and colorful arms walked up to the two of them and said enthusiastically: “Hey, the beauty brought a friend here today. There is no room inside, so I will sit outside, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Okay, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. I’ll bring you menus and mosquito coils later. Wait a minute!”
Chi Nuan looked around and saw several mottled wooden tables and wooden benches placed outside, which had an original flavor and period characteristics.
She hadn’t seen a short wooden stool for many years, and it was quite novel to sit on it again.
“Teacher Song, I didn’t expect there are so many people here. Is it so delicious?”
Song Shixue picked up the cup of sour plum juice on the table and took a sip, “Well, you should also like it.”
The uncle handed the menu to the two of them, “Just write down what you two want to eat. Just call me when you’re done!”
Chi Nuan picked up the rolled-up menu and flipped around, “Teacher Song, this entire menu is handwritten.” The word “curiosity” was written all over her face.
Song Shixue held a pen in her hand and said, “Well, you see what you want to eat, and I’ll write it.”
“Teacher Song, do you have any recommendations?”
“They’re all pretty good, just order what you like.” Song Shixue replied.
“Teacher Song, please order another one. You can’t all order my favorite food.” Chi Nuan finished scrolling on the menu and said.
“Yeah.”
Song Shixue wrote at the end – scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She capped her pen and pointed it in the direction of the uncle in the restaurant. She spoke louder than usual and said, “Boss, we have made our choice.”
The uncle casually wiped the water stains on the back of his hands on his apron and took the small book and menu, “Okay.”
“Boss, there are no onions in the dishes.”
The uncle paused for a moment, “Why doesn’t the beauty eat onions today?”
“My friend won’t eat.”
He showed an honest smile and said, “Okay! Just wait a moment.”
Chi Nuan sat on the small wooden stool and seemed very calm, but in fact, her heart was once again crazy about Song Shixue’s details.
“Teacher Song remembers it all.”
“Chi Nuan, you don’t have a fever, right?” Song Shixue couldn’t help but want to complain about Chi Nuan. After all, she was allergic to green onions. Even if Song Shixue’s memory was bad, she wouldn’t be able to remember such things.
“Huh?”
Song Shixue lightly poked Chi Nuan’s forehead again, frowning slightly, “Do you want me to see you allergic again?”
Chi Nuan touched the spot where Song Shixue had just poked her, and said pitifully, “Teacher Song, you are so cruel.”
“Then I’ll focus on it next time.” In front of Chi Nuan Jianjian, Song Shixue simply refused to accept her obedient behavior.
“Here comes the food for you two! Do you want rice?”
Chi Nuan raised his hands in a gesture, “I want two bowls, thank you boss!”
Song Shixue originally wanted to ask her boss to take away her share, but she gave up the idea when she felt a chill behind her.
Chi Nuan crossed his arms in front of his chest, “Teacher Song, do you not want to eat again?”
“No.” Song Shixue didn’t want to hear Chi Nuan scolding her, “Try how it tastes.”
Chi Nuan is like a food critic shouldering a heavy responsibility at this moment.She picked up her chopsticks and tasted each of the three dishes. The unique flavor of each dish instantly exploded in her taste buds, sending “delicious” signals to all organs in her body.In less than half a minute, Chi Nuan fell deeply in love with this humble fly restaurant.
“Teacher Song, is the chef in this restaurant a god of cooking?” Chi Nuan is so delicious that he lacks words, but this sentence seems to be the most appropriate way to describe it.
Chi Nuan felt that Song Shixue’s number one position in cooking might have to be replaced.
After the novelty of delicious food wore off, Chi Nuan began to worry about Song Shixue’s eating problems.
She put a large piece of beef and tomato scrambled eggs into Song Shixue’s bowl.
“Teacher Song, you are too thin. You need to eat more high-protein food to double your nutrition!”
Song Shixue was already full when she looked at the mountain of food in front of her. She couldn’t imagine eating it all at once. Oh no, she would faint after eating half of it.
“Chi Nuan, this is too much.”
Chi Nuan just wanted Song Shixue to eat more, but now looking back, she saw that there was indeed a bit too much in her bowl.
Thinking about it, you can’t just make up for the lost weight in just one meal.
“It’s okay. Teacher Song, please eat as much as you can. If you can’t finish the rest, I will take care of it.”
“What to solve? My leftovers?” To be honest, Song Shixue was shocked in her heart.
From birth to now, only Cheng Xue has eaten her leftovers when she was a child.In Song Shixue’s opinion, this kind of thing is simply more intimate than kissing Chi Nuan. Moreover, her own mysophobia makes her unable to accept it for the time being.
Song Shixue waved her hands quickly, “No, no, no, I can finish it.”
Now she had to bite the bullet.
Song Shixue swallowed the last bite, and the food was already in her throat.At this time, the four characters “faced with sadness” became concrete.
Upon seeing this, Chi Nuan quickly took out the Jianweixiaoshi tablets he carried with him from his bag and put it into Song Shixue’s mouth, “Song Shixue, are you a fool? Even if you haven’t finished eating, I won’t say anything to you.”
“Then you are Doraemon’s pocket, why do you have everything?”
“Maybe I have the ability to predict and know that a fool named Song Shixue will eat up today!”
Chi Nuan also wanted to poke Song Shixue’s forehead twice. As soon as he raised his hand, he met Song Shixue’s gaze and could only silently withdraw his “poke.”
“You are the fool!” Song Shixue said.
Chi Nuan’s face was full of affection when he heard this, “Okay, I’m a fool. Let’s go for a walk and have some food in a while, okay?”
Song Shixue gave a very arrogant “hmm” to Chi Nuan to express her agreement with the proposal.
“Boss, we pay the bill!”
Song Shixue and Chi Nuan walked in the alley one after another.The warm yellow light shone on the ground. Chi Nuan followed Song Shixue’s arm-swinging movements under the light and reached out again and again. The shadows between his hands were constantly intersecting.And every time they met, she and Song Shixue held hands silently.
Chi Nuan silently counted “50, 51, 52, 53.”
Song Shixue, I held hands with you in the alley tonight a total of 53 times.Well, one more time than 52, one more time than I love you.
Song Shixue stopped at the exit, “Do you want to continue walking?”
Of course Chi Nuan wanted to.Even though this place was desolate and she was still a little scared of this kind of environment, she was willing to go to hell as long as she could stay with Song Shixue for a little longer.But she still focused on Song Shixue.
“It’s all up to you, Teacher Song.”
Song Shixue took out her phone and checked the time, “Go back, your dormitory will be closed later.”
Chi Nuan deliberately whispered to the side, “I don’t want to go back, I want to live at your house.”
“No.” Song Shixue rejected her.
Chi Nuan had no choice but to admit it. She got into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt obediently, cherishing the last moment of spending time together today.
The vehicle crossed Nanshan Road and entered a completely opposite road.Chi Nuan was so frightened that she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. She said in a confused tone, “Teacher Song, are we going the wrong way?”
Song Shixue said nothing and just continued to drive forward.
Chi Nuan realized that this road was very familiar until later. Her eyes widened suddenly and her tone changed from confusion to surprise, “Teacher Song! This is the way to your home!”
Hum!What a duplicitous woman!
