Jian Yunxi was really exhausted. God knows he had to get up at three o'clock in the morning, watch the flag-raising ceremony, and then take the bus to the Great Wall.
Then he risked his life to accompany Chen Shasha and Song Xing to climb the Great Wall again.
Jian Yunxi slumped on the return bus, feeling as if his legs no longer belonged to him. However, Chen Shasha and Song Xing were still energetically flipping through photos on their phones.
"Xixi, what do you think of this photo?" Chen Shasha held the phone in front of her. On the screen was a photo of the three of them on the beacon tower of the Great Wall - the setting sun behind them dyed the wall golden, and the three good friends all had the same bright smiles, except that their hair was blown by the wind like exploded dandelions.
"Very good..." She responded weakly, her eyelids drooping.
Song Xing suddenly pushed her, "Xixi, your phone vibrated several times just now, is it Lu Yang who sent a message?"
Jian Yunxi reluctantly took out his phone and squinted at the screen. Lu Yang's message popped up:
"How about treating you to copper pot hot pot tonight? Wang Pu recommended a restaurant that serves delicious hand-cut lamb..."
"Lu Yang said he would treat us to hot pot. It was recommended by his Beijing roommate. He also recommended the braised pork and steamed buns we had before." Jian Yunxi said to his two friends.
Chen Shasha's eyes lit up: "Great! The locals' recommendations are always right! I can eat a whole cow now!"
After returning to the hotel, the three of them took a quick shower and changed into clean clothes. Jian Yunxi deliberately chose a loose T-shirt because after eating hot pot, there would always be a smell on your body.
The store recommended by Wang Pu is about a 20-minute subway ride from the hotel. It is also a truly authentic time-honored brand in Beijing: Hong Yunxuan.
When Jian Yunxi and her friends arrived at Hong Yunxuan, dusk had already enveloped the alley. From a distance, they saw Lu Yang standing alone under the old locust tree at the entrance of the store, waving at them with the waiting ticket in his hand.
The first thing Lu Yang did when he saw Jian Yunxi was to hug her in his arms, take her backpack, and ask her in a low voice if she was tired.
Chen Shasha was so envious.
"Lu Yang, let me introduce you. This is Chen Shasha, and this is Song Xing."
Lu Yang greeted with a smile: "Yunxi, I actually know all your friends, but this should be the first time we officially meet."
"Yes, that's right." Chen Shasha thought about it carefully and it was true.
The waiter started calling out numbers. Lu Yang asked the girls to order. Jian Yunxi said directly, "Oh, just order what Wang Pu recommended."
Chen Shasha and Song Xing nodded.
"Okay then." Lu Yang did not refuse.
Lu Yang smiled and flipped through the menu, his fingers skillfully ticking off several signature dishes: fresh-cut lamb topside, hanging dragon and other fresh-cut lamb and hand-made fresh shrimp balls, and vegetarian dishes such as enoki mushrooms, frozen tofu and mugwort stalks to relieve the greasiness.
"By the way, their sauce has a unique flavor," Lu Yang added, "Three spoons of sesame paste, and stir the chive sauce seven times clockwise..."
"Why?" Even Jian Yunxi became curious. It was the first time she heard such a statement.
"I think it's better to blend the two sauces together!"
Chen Shasha and Song Xing couldn't wait to go and mix the sauce. When they came back, Chen Shasha poked Song Xing's arm and said, "Look!"
Lu Yang was giving Jian Yunxi a massage, and the two were whispering something.
"Xingxing, have you noticed that Jian Yunxi is very different in front of Lu Yang?"
Song Xing nodded: "Are you trying to say that she seems to be glowing all over?"
"Yes!"
Chen Shasha thought back to high school when Jian Yunxi seemed to have no interest in anything other than studying and had a very indifferent personality. However, he was also very jealous of evil and would speak out when he saw something he didn't like, such as what happened with Li Ping and Shen Haochi.
But she is very emotionally stable in front of Lu Yang, probably because she is loved very well.
While eating, Chen Shasha secretly observed that no matter what the two of them picked up from the pot, their first reaction was to put it on each other's plate and then smile at each other in tacit understanding.
Although Lu Yang eats very seriously, he always knows Jian Yunxi's needs at any time, such as not being able to reach the tissue or there is no water in the cup.
This kind of relationship is really interesting to talk about. No wonder Jian Yunxi said they never quarrel!
Look, Jian Yunxi was looking down at a piece of frozen tofu that was almost cooked. Before he could fish it out, Lu Yang had already picked up the colander to help.
In the steaming heat, Chen Shasha and Song Xing exchanged glances - the soup base in the copper pot was bubbling, just like their crazy pink bubbling mood at the moment.
"What are you two talking about? Keep eating."
As soon as Jian Yunxi saw Chen Shasha's expression, he knew what she wanted to do, and it turned out to be true.
"Xixi, your boyfriend is not the one mentioned on the Internet as the 'Twenty-four Filial Boyfriends'!"
Lu Yang stopped helping Jian Yunxi pick coriander, not understanding what it meant.
"What? Nonsense! Lu Yang has done much more than that 'Twenty-four Filial Boyfriends'!"
"Hey, hey—" Chen Shasha stretched out her voice and nudged Song Xing with her elbow, "Did you hear that? This is 'oversized'!"
"Chen Shasha, wake up!" Jian Yunxi went straight up and shook Chen Shasha back and forth, as if he wanted to shake all the water out of her brain.
"Wow, Xixi, your boyfriend is still here, please watch your image!"
Jian Yunxi had no image in front of Lu Yang. Lu Yang had seen her crying, quarreling with others, and even going crazy.
And the look of being dizzy from his kiss.
She is always the most real in front of Lu Yang. She cries when she wants to cry, laughs when she wants to laugh, and will complain about her teachers and classmates when she has nothing to do.
