I Don’t Want To Be Popular Chapter 127: Candlelight dinner
What is this? Wouldn't it be cucumbers? He wouldn't dare to ask anyway. The names of these dishes are "one is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of death", "beautiful liver", "white tiger lying on the beach", "totoleo"...
Chen Chuan looked at a question mark: "How to fix Totole?"
"Scrambled eggs with chives, do you want to eat it? This is simple and delicious." Andy said.
"This has something to do with Totole?" Chen Chuan said speechlessly.
"Isn't leek nourishing the kidneys? Isn't it?" Andy asked suspiciously.
"Yes, if you win, then let's have some fun. It's almost the same." Chen Chuan felt that the names of the dishes in the back were even more dazzling, and he didn't dare to order them.
Anti took the water tofu again and said, "Then there will be another white tiger lying on the beach. Buy another box of strawberries and make a red plum with snow, which is white sugar mixed with strawberries."
The two were pushing the car, while Antti picked out the ingredients, and seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness caused by seeing Chen Chuan's text message in the car.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Anti took Chen Chuan back to her rented apartment.
Putting down the ingredients, Andy tied her long hair into a ponytail and said, "You take a rest, I'll do it, I can cook very quickly."
"Okay, then I can watch TV."
"I don't have a TV here. You can sit on the sofa and play with your phone," Andy said.
"I'll help you wash the vegetables, it will be faster."
"I don't need you to wash, I don't need you, I use you to shoot. What's the matter? I'll invite you to dinner, you can go to rest, or simply go downstairs for a walk. The scenery of this community is very good, come back in an hour , it's almost there." Andy said.
Chen Chuan listened to Andy's suggestion, the cottage is not big, it's a two-bedroom, warmly decorated and tidy.
After walking around the house, he opened the door and went downstairs to go outside to breathe.
This is a garden community by the sea. The grade is not low. It is divided into two areas: east and west.
The east area is high-rise, and the west area is low-density garden houses.
At seven o'clock in the summer, the sky is not yet completely dark, and the western sky is still a red sunset.
Chen Chuan bought a pack of cigarettes called "Ziqi Donglai" at the 7-day convenience store at the entrance of the community for 140 yuan a box.
Legend has it that before Lao Tzu passed the Hangu Pass, Guan Yin was happy to see purple energy coming from the east and knew that a sage would pass the pass. Sure enough, Lao Tzu came riding on a green ox. A metaphor for auspicious signs.
Looking at the festive name, Chen Chuan had never smoked it before, so he just got a box.
Take a sip, it seems that there is no original aroma, the tobacco burns at a steady speed, the smoke is long, and everything is light.
He stood on the bluestone by the roadside, looking at the seascape in the distance, and the sunset at the sea, he exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked up at the fifth floor, where the kitchen was lit, and there was a woman wearing an apron inside. It feels good to cook by yourself.
A white Mercedes-Benz came slowly and stopped slowly.
The car window rolled down, the female driver took off her sunglasses and looked at Chen Chuan who was smoking by the side of the road.
"Why are you here?" the female driver said in surprise.
Chen Chuan heard the loud sound in the car, and as the window fell, a song came out:
“The reason for not letting go
Are you worried about becoming a beast
For the rhythm of the heartbeat
Will it be paused at the end of time"
…
Chen Chuan looked over in this song and saw a small face with delicate light makeup and a silver highlight on his forehead that felt familiar.
"Chen Chuan, your grandma is a jerk. Seeing your reaction, don't you remember this girl?" The female driver laughed and scolded, "I'm Wang Lixin."
"Huh?" Chen Chuan approached and looked at the girl driving, "Wang Lixin, are you so old?"
Wang Lixin laughed and scolded: "How can I talk, but I haven't seen you for several years. It must have been more than four years? After graduating from high school, I haven't seen you. I heard people say that you are a miserable mess. Working part-time in an advertising agency, tired like a dog?"
"It's okay..."
Wang Lixin laughed and said, "I'm joking. I also heard about your current situation from other classmates. If you have any difficulties, you can speak up. Old classmates, you can help me as much as possible."
"Ok, thank you."
"I'm leaving. By the way, aren't you in our third- and second-class group?" Wang Lixin asked again.
Chen Chuan nodded. In fact, in reality, after he broke up with Zhou Qi in his freshman year, he quit the group. No more contact with my high school classmates.
Wang Lixin took out her mobile phone and said, "I don't have your friends either. Let's add you and add you to the group. As the saying goes, classmates will kiss each other for three lifetimes. Come on. We haven't seen you in years."
"Oh, good." Chen Chuan also took out his mobile phone and added her as a friend.
I just feel that the years are a little trance.
Because in the novel world, he and Wang Lixin have met each other. They also took care of Teacher Sima together, ate Haidilao together, watched the Milky Way, and played the game of listening to and recognizing music. However, after she was admitted to Jiangdong University, she was no longer in contact.
In reality, I haven't seen this high school classmate for many years.
After Wang Lixin added a friend, she continued to drive and entered the neighborhood called "Haiyueting" beside her. The loud sound of the sound in the car gradually drifted away and there was no book.
Anti rented in this community, and Wang Lixin also lived here, not only renting but also her home here, which is quite a coincidence.
Wang Lixin and Zhou Qi were both beauties in the third and second class of high school. Chen Chuan looked at the white Mercedes-Benz and felt a little emotional ups and downs.
Because in reality, when he was in his third year of high school, he had a little affection for the beautiful girls in his class or grade, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a little happy for Wang Lixin. After all, this girl looks like a Barbie doll, a very flattering appearance.
But these days are different.
Chen Chuan's trip to the world of novels also means reading a thousand sails.
Even if I met a beautiful girl in high school here, I didn't have much trouble in my heart, just a little emotion.
After strolling around the gate of the community for a while, I went back upstairs.
Although the range hood is turned on in the house, the semi-open kitchen still makes the whole house fragrant.
The warm yellow solid wood dining table was filled with plates of hard vegetables.
Steamed swimming crab, scallion mixed with eight strips, braised pork, braised mackerel, panda eat Xiang, cucumber, scrambled egg with chives, home-style fresh abalone, strawberry mixed with sugar, tofu mixed with sugar ~IndoMTL.com~10 dishes. "Chen Chuan counted it, it's really high standard.
"I don't have any good wine here, I just have a case of cans of beer." Andy untied his apron and washed his hands.
Chen Chuan clapped his hands. In fact, the temptation of this table of home-cooked dishes is no less than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the luxuriously decorated restaurants outside. Because this homely taste is really not found outside.
Pop!
Anti opened a can of beer and put it in front of Chen Chuan. She also opened a can, raised it and said, "Welcome to be a guest."
"Thank you for your hospitality, can I take pictures?" Chen Chuan touched her.
"Yes."
The two took a sip each, and Chen Chuan took out his mobile phone.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's fun to shoot this way." Andy put down the beer, turned, bent down, and took out a candle from a drawer in the sideboard.
Chen Chuan handed over a 1-yuan lighter that he bought from the convenience store downstairs.
Clap!
Anti lit a candle and turned off the lights in the house.
"Does it feel like a candlelit dinner?" Andy asked, she opened the curtains, and there was a sea view outside.
Sniffing the fresh sea breeze, watching the ten dishes in the candlelight, and the 28-year-old high-cold beauty across from her who had never been in love, Chen Chuan took a sip of cold beer and whistled.
This beer at this moment, he drank the taste of Shawshank Redemption.
