Zhou Mo: "Okay."
She paid and the girl gave her the change.
Zhou Mo pulled Han Chen to sit at a table outside the store.
"Is this your first time sitting outside and eating in the open air?" Zhou Mo asked.
"no."
"Hmm?" Zhou Mo was curious.
She and Han Chen had never sat outside to eat like they were doing now. At most, they bought some fried noodles, takoyaki, etc. on the way and ate while walking.
"Do you remember that I didn't go home for a few days after the college entrance examination?"
"I remember," Zhou Mo said, "My mom and I were worried about you, so we asked Aunt Liang about your situation. Aunt Liang said you went out to play with your classmates."
"That time," Han Chen said, "we drank at a roadside barbecue stall like this."
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment. She thought that the "play" Liang Xinyu meant going to an amusement park or tourist attraction with classmates.
I didn’t expect Han Chen’s way of “playing” would be like this.
"And then? Why didn't you go home for several days?"
"After drinking, I'd just find a hotel to sleep in, and the next day I'd go to the internet cafe. Anyway... during those few days, I did everything I wanted to do but hadn't done in my life. Guys, we all have the same idea."
Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing: "I'm not surprised that others would be like this, but you... I really didn't expect it."
After all, Han Chen has always been a good boy.
Han Chen: "Who isn't rebellious? I just didn't want to show it."
In particular, Zhou Mo broke up with him.
In particular, he knew he was leaving Dongjiang.
Especially since there is a high probability that they will never see each other again.
He is neither irrational nor ignorant.
It's just that all the bad things happened at the same time, and for him, who had just become an adult at the time, it was too much for him to bear.
But this is life, he has no choice but to obey.
Depressed. Suffocated. Sad.
When everything was imposed on him, he was like a balloon that was compressed to the extreme and chose to explode at the last moment.
He wanted to let loose once, to vent once, to rebel once.
So, we went out with some good classmates from high school and had a crazy time for a few days and nights. In the end, we dispersed because the parents of some of our classmates came to our house and urged us to go home.
Otherwise, Han Chen would not have planned to go home at all.
Zhou Mo: "No wonder you had such an untidy beard when you returned."
Han Chen: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. It's true. I was having too much fun those few days and didn't pay attention to it."
Zhou Mo: "More than crazy, I thought you were wandering outside."
Han Chen: “…”
Xiaole Street was filled with the atmosphere of fireworks. Zhou Mo looked up at the sky and found that tiny stars dotted the dark sky.
Zhou Mo retracted his gaze, met Han Chen's eyes with his own, and asked seriously, "You won't leave again this time, will you?"
"No," Han Chen said, "When I ran away from the imperial capital, I never thought about going back."
"Then will I still have a chance to meet your parents?" Zhou Mo was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so he explained, "I don't mean to ask too many questions, it's just... I think it's time for us to meet your parents. If we pass this test, I think we can announce our marriage to them and we don't have to hide it anymore."
Han Chen suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "I understand what you mean. Can you give me some more time?"
"Do you want to think it through or..."
"I need to gain a firm foothold in Dongjiang first," Han Chen said, "Trust me, give me some time."
Zhou Mo nodded. "You have your considerations. As long as we're all planning for the future, anything is fine."
Han Chen apologized, "I'm sorry I made you feel wronged."
Zhou Mo shook his head: "No, I don't feel wronged."
Han Chen: "Let's not talk about meeting the parents, it's about that Secretary Li... If it were in the capital, I could make him lose his job, kneel down and apologize to you, or even... chop off his hands. But in Dongjiang... I... can't help you vent your anger right away."
Zhou Mo: "It doesn't matter. Life is full of ups and downs, and it's common to be wronged. Didn't you fight that guy for me? I won't meet him again. It's just a hand-holding, and I didn't lose anything. You stood up and defended me at the first moment, that's enough. If you really hit him or did something out of the ordinary for me, it would only make things more complicated."
"I'm not that stupid," Han Chen said, "Your college leader is still here. If he can get your graduation card, I'm going to make a big deal out of it. Do you still want your diploma and degree?"
Zhou Mo smiled with relief: "I didn't expect you to think so much about me."
Han Chen: "Isn't the best way for the school to threaten students with graduation certificates and degree certificates? I'm from the same college and have nothing to do with Dongda. You're a student of Dongda, and your life and death depend on the school and the college. I can't help but consider the consequences and you."
Zhou Mo: "Sure enough, I have good eyesight and I didn't make a mistake."
The two chatted for a while, and then the shop owner came with two servings of spicy hot pot.
Zhou Mo was eager to try, as she hadn't eaten for a long time.
Han Chen saw the sterilized chopsticks on the boss's tray and asked, "Do you have disposable tableware?"
Boss: “Yes, I’ll get it.”
Han Chen: "Thank you."
The boss took the sterilized chopsticks and went to get the disposable chopsticks.
Zhou Mo whispered, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed."
She was only thinking about feasting.
Han Chen: "I dare not decline even a single one of your requests."
Zhou Mo: "Why, are you still feeling aggrieved?"
Han Chen: "I feel wronged. I feel so wronged. I have carefully memorized all your likes and dislikes. I performed so well, but I didn't even get a reward."
Zhou Mo smiled: "Isn't this meal enough for you? What other rewards do you want?"
Han Chen: "What reward are you talking about?"
Zhou Mo glared at him: "Eat."
Just then the boss brought some disposable tableware, Zhou Mo took it and gave it to Han Chen.
The hot and spicy malatang gives people a double satisfaction of smell and taste.
Zhou Mo was sweating all over while eating, but he felt extremely comfortable.
Han Chen took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to her, "Wipe the sweat off your face."
Zhou Mo took it and gently wiped his cheeks and forehead.
"Buzz~Buzz~Boom-Boom-"
The sound of a car engine suddenly appeared, and someone was driving down the street.
When Zhou Mo turned around, he saw a cool Lamborghini with a low chassis and a bumblebee-like shape suddenly appear on the motorway.
The car reached an intersection not far away, suddenly slowed down, turned, entered the intersection, and turned into the open space in front of a roadside shop.
When the people at the nearby kebab shop saw the car, they immediately ran over and removed the roadblock on the parking space, and the car suddenly drove into the parking space.
After parking, a man got out of the driver's seat. He was wearing unusual clothing: a loose white linen cardigan and baggy black trousers, reminiscent of a Tai Chi uniform. His hair was shaved very short, the same short crew cut Han Chen had used to prove himself handsome, but this man seemed even more imperious and domineering, with a lightning bolt shaped like a lightning bolt on his ear.
