The boy looked around and said, "Wait a minute, I'll say hello to my dad. Just wait for me! Don't move!"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Wang Feifei stood there waiting for him to come back. Turns out he was still such a goofball, it was hilarious…
"Walk!"
"Where to?" Wang Feifei asked him.
"I'll take you somewhere."
The two of them walked down the road, one in front of the other.
As they walked, the boy suddenly stopped and asked, "I've seen you before. Do you live in Yujing City?"
"Ahem... I'm not a pervert, I just saw you and your boyfriend enter that neighborhood together once."
Wang Feifei, with her head down, was only focused on following him when she bumped into his back.
He whispered, "Let me tell you, be careful of your boyfriend..."
"Um?"
What? What's going on? Why did he bring up Chu Xiang?
"Wait a minute, let's find a place and I'll tell you slowly."
After saying that, he led Wang Feifei onto another road.
This road is near a high school, and the street is almost entirely lined with snack shops; it's very lively.
"What would you like to eat? It's on me."
"Can you recommend one? I've never been here before, so I'll take your advice."
Wang Feifei knew this street before and had wanted to have dinner with Chu Xiang several times, but he always complained that it was too vulgar and unclean, his eyes full of disdain. She never mentioned it again after that.
At this moment, the lively atmosphere here actually made Wang Feifei feel safe.
Because you'll never run into Chu Xiang here.
"Let's eat maocai then. I know a place that tastes really authentic. It was recommended by a friend from Sichuan. Their mala tang is also amazing."
After saying that, he led Wang Feifei into a shop, which was already full of people. He shouted to the owner:
"Hey buddy, get me a table outside!"
"Alright!" The clerk quickly moved tables and chairs outside the door.
"I want it the same way, and the girl should have the same thing too."
He watched as Wang Feifei sat down, then bowed and asked her, "What level of spiciness do you prefer?"
"I like it super spicy."
The boy turned to the owner and said, "Both are extra spicy."
After finishing his work, he ran off again, went into another shop in the distance, and came out carrying four bottles of "soy milk".
"Try this, it's really good at relieving spiciness."
After saying that, he took a bottle opener, pried open the glass, and poured Wang Feifei a full glass.
Watching him bustling about, Wang Feifei suddenly had a strange feeling, as if she had returned to her childhood, when she and her father would eat out and he would be busy taking care of everything.
The boy's face shone brightly under the dim streetlights and beside the cold white store lights, gleaming brilliantly...
"Is it good?"
"Mmm, it tastes good."
What's your name?
"My name is Wang Feifei, you can just call me Feifei. What's yours?"
"My name is Chen Nian, Nian as in Chinese New Year. You can call me Nian Nian."
Just as he finished speaking, the owner carefully walked to the side carrying a pot:
"Chen Nian, is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"
Chen Nian glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.
The pot was filled with skewers and placed securely in the middle of the table.
When Wang Feifei tried maocai for the first time, she just grabbed it and started eating, showing a bit of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) attitude.
"Don't be shy, eat up! This is the first time I've brought a girl here. I'll ask the owner to send me a roast duck as a gift."
After Chen Nian finished speaking, he took a skewer of tripe and handed it to Wang Feifei: "This is especially delicious!"
She smiled, took it, and put it in her mouth. It was really delicious!
"Was what I just said too abrupt? I was really worried about you!"
"Although this is the first time we've spoken, I know you."
In fact, Chen Nian had been secretly in love with Wang Feifei for five years.
One night five years ago, Wang Feifei had a fight with Chu Xiang and ran to the neighborhood crying. She felt very wronged and missed her parents. She went to the supermarket and bought a bottle of her mother's favorite cookies. She ate them while crying at the table.
From that moment on, Chen Nian remembered her. It was the first time he had ever seen a girl cry, her face streaked with tears. How pitiful she looked…
Over the years, whenever she came to the store, Chen Nian would always be the first to notice her. Gradually, Wang Feifei's image was etched into his mind, transforming into different feelings. Chen Nian even remembered her boyfriend.
Chen Nian looked at Wang Feifei with a hint of worry in his eyes:
“I’ve seen your boyfriend’s car parked on the road in front of the supermarket several times, with him embracing a woman in the car.”
Wang Feifei took a sip of soy milk:
"I know, thank you!"
Chen Nian looked at her with pity, but said nothing.
“Niannian, besides this, there’s something else I want to thank you for.”
"What's up?"
Wang Feifei stared at him without moving her eyes: "It's a secret. I'll tell you when I have the chance."
"But now, I have something extremely urgent to tell you."
Chen Nian blinked, stopped eating the meat he was about to put in his mouth, and looked at her face.
"There will be an extreme cold disaster around July, but I don't know the exact time. You and Dad must make sure to prepare all the food, drinks and supplies in advance, and remember to lock the supermarket door."
"I'm not kidding, it's true!"
"If you don't believe me, there will be abnormal weather at the end of June. At that time, you should take action and remember what I said. It may still be in time."
Wang Feifei held his hand and said solemnly:
"You! You absolutely must be okay!"
For some reason, Wang Feifei's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them...
