Lin An smiled and said, "It's Jianbing Guozi. The two are very similar in how they're made. Both involve pouring batter onto a hot pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, and then frying it after the batter solidifies. However, crepes are primarily sweet, while Shandong Jianbing Guozi is primarily savory."
"Then I probably don't like Jianbing Guozi very much, but I would like to try it if I have the chance." There was anticipation in Jian Shuier's eyes. Of course, she was expecting Lin An to take her to eat Jianbing Guozi.
"I'll take you there if I have the chance. They have some similarities. Brittany is a protruding corner in the westernmost part of France, and Shandong is also a protruding corner in the east of Country Z. Both are coastal provinces, and the people there are very well-armed."
"So that's how it is." Jian Shui'er nodded, with a look of great interest on her face.
"Speaking of Brittany, do you know the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey?" Lin An tilted his head and asked Jian Shuier.
"Maybe you have some impression?" Jian Shui'er tilted her head and looked into Lin An's eyes.
Lin An stopped and looked a little longingly. "The Mont Saint-Michel Abbey is a religious site on the Mont Saint-Michel. The Mont Saint-Michel is a tidal island with a large mudflat nearby. When the tide is out, it becomes an ordinary beach where people can walk on the sand. Once the tide is in, the Mont Saint-Michel becomes an isolated island. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the isolated island in the sea, and rows of seabirds fly in the sky. It is very mystical. The omelets and crepes on it are century-old specialties. However, the more commendable thing about it is its military value. It is an isolated island at high tide, surrounded by mudflats at low tide, and surrounded by the sea on three sides. In addition, the island has wells that make it self-sufficient, making it difficult for the enemy to capture it. During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the Bretons persisted in resisting the British invasion. The Mont Saint-Michel was never occupied by the British, becoming one of the symbols of the French national awakening!"
"Ah! I remember now. When I was a kid, I watched a program about this. I saw a church lobby filled with ancient charm. I imagined being proposed to there at sunset. It must have been so romantic!"
"Hey, the most amazing thing about Mont Saint-Michel is its military value. Do you know how many British people died in the Battle of Saint-Malo?"
"I don't know."
"A full 165.5!"
"…Should I be surprised by the high number, or complain that it doesn't seem like a lot, or be surprised that there's a decimal point in the death toll?"
Jian Shuier had a confused expression on her face.
Lin An pondered for a moment and replied, "You shouldn't complain. War isn't about the glory of more deaths."
…
Lin An was chatting with Jian Shui'er in this way, mainly talking about his experiences, not only that crepes are actually a foreign version of Jianbing, but also why Mount Tai is 1,545 meters above sea level and is the tallest of the Five Great Mountains, and a chestnut mouse game that he loved to play when he was a child.
Jian Shuier didn't feel bored at all. She listened with great interest and asked questions from a girl's perspective from time to time.
The two chatted until the night completely took over the sky.
It was already night, and Lin An didn't want to drag it out any longer, so he took the initiative to ask Jian Shui'er: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Jian Shui'er thought for a moment, then excitedly pulled his wrist and said, "I'm very happy today because this is the first time you've taken the initiative to talk to me about your own affairs. Today, October 19th, I will remember it firmly in my heart as an important anniversary."
This is not what Lin An wants to hear.
He understands Jian Shuier.
Jian Shuier sat in his dormitory seat for the entire afternoon. She must have known about his date with Li Baiwei and must have felt very dissatisfied.
He initially thought that Jian Shuier would start interrogating him in a 'girlfriend-style' manner as soon as she woke up, but that didn't happen.
The two chatted for a long time without any interrogation. He had just asked her proactively, but she still chose to avoid it.
This situation was not a lucky escape for him, but a more troublesome one.
Because Jian Shuier is a frank girl who expresses her emotions directly, but now she hides her emotions.
The implications of this are very dangerous.
"Apart from this sentence?" Lin An asked again.
Jian Shuier stopped and walked to the opposite side of Lin An. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Maybe in the future, but not now. I have absolute trust in you!"
It turns out that he is suppressing his emotions.
A frank girl actually chose to suppress her emotions. Lin An felt that he was too much of a scumbag.
This is really not his style.
Sighing, Lin An said, "Bai Wei and I went to the city to play today. Specifically..."
Lin An told the story of Li Baiwei in detail.
Finally, he said, "Li Baiwei's troubles were ultimately caused by me. If I hadn't helped her under the shade of the trees that day, I wouldn't have helped her even if I encountered the same thing. But now that I've formed a connection with her, I can only help her all the way."
"No need to explain to me!" Jian Shui'er placed her gentle fingers on his cheek with a generous smile on her face. "I said, I have absolute trust in you. I know you won't betray me. Besides, I'm not your girlfriend, so I can't ask you to make friends. I don't want an explanation, I want fairness. I remember you still owe me a date."
Lin An didn't understand the specific meaning of this betrayal.
But he was sure of one thing.
His relationship with Jian Shuier also began to become complicated.
He always felt that the development of the two people was getting more and more out of his control.
…
After confessing to Jian Shuier, the two went to the community office and completed a series of daily routines.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Lin An pulled Qi Yang out and said, "I think Xu Yaoji is a first-class fraudster."
