It is hard to tell whether a boyfriend or girlfriend has a way to choose Chinese or Western food.
The feeling of letting go was as strong as the wine that had settled in his blood. Xue Jiuyue chattered non-stop to Liu Che as he walked, telling him about new and interesting people or things. Liu Che also followed Xue Jiuyue's voice and walked forward steadily.
"Just now, I saw a fat guy holding a bun as big as his face and finishing it in two bites. Two bites! Just two bites! As big as his face!"
"Two bites? Really just two bites?"
"Yeah, just two bites! Haha..."
"Ha ha……"
The jokes that were not funny made the laughter spread and amplified between the two people, and finally broke through their personalities and characters, and they both laughed so hard that they fell down, and their image was completely ruined.
As if just joking wasn't enough, Xue Jiuyue started teasing Liu Che, quietly circling him. Voices came from all directions, front, back, left, and right. Liu Che tried his best to keep his composure steady, but his fading smile and the slight twitching of his eyes still betrayed his panic.
When he had to stop, Xue Jiuyue suddenly appeared again and said in a rough voice, "I'm here." Then another burst of laughter broke out between the two of them.
When the two of them walked to an escalator that went up and down side by side, Xue Jiuyue's evil idea came to her mind again. She tiptoed up the escalator and stood upstairs to look at Liu Che below.
This time, Liu Che was truly panicking. He stepped onto the escalator, then felt something was wrong and quickly retreated. He looked around again, but there was no trace of him.
At first, Xue Jiuyue found it amusing. But soon, seeing Liu Che spinning in circles, unable to move forward or backward, a wave of heartache hit her without warning. She hurried down the elevator, but when she returned to her starting point, the person she was looking for was gone.
Xue Jiuyue looked around, but there were too many forks in the mall. After walking a few steps, she had a hard time getting back to where she came from. So she tried to take out her cell phone to make a call, but then she realized that she had left in such a hurry that she hadn't brought her phone with her.
Just when she was at a loss, the mall's PA system rang, "Miss Yue, Miss Yue, your lost boyfriend is at the service desk on the second floor of the mall. Please come and claim him."
"sorry!"
"sorry!"
Two blushing faces in front of the service desk said the same thing.
"I was saying I was your friend, but I didn't expect the staff to broadcast it like that."
"I just wanted to play a joke on you, but I accidentally lost you while walking."
The two of them started explaining at the same time in tacit understanding, and finally stopped at the same time.
"Ha ha……"
"Ha ha……"
A cheerful laugh speaks louder than any explanation.
"I'm sorry, he was probably a little anxious just now, saying he was your 'boyfriend' or 'friend'. I didn't catch what he said in the middle. I thought it was a romantic game between a boyfriend and a girlfriend."
As soon as the laughter faded, a female voice came from behind, a very insincere apology. Xue Jiuyue turned her head and said to the girl with a meaningful smile, "It's okay, goodbye."
"I'm hungry, let's go eat. What kind of cuisine do you like?" This time, Xue Jiuyue stayed by Liu Che's side.
"All right. As you say."
“I hate opinions without opinions the most!”
"Whatever you think you want to eat first, we'll eat it."
"Well," Xue Jiuyue was always playful when she was with Liu Che, "How about we go to the food and beverage floor of the mall, get off the elevator, walk 100 steps, and eat whatever we come across."
"Good idea, that's settled."
…
“98, 99, 100.”
Xue Jiuyue was as happy as a child, but soon she began to worry, "Oh my god, I'm walking right between two restaurants. How do I choose between a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant? You know I hate making choices."
"Wait a moment." Liu Che took out a coin from his trouser pocket and said to Xue Jiuyue, "The one with the Chinese characters facing up is for the Western restaurant, and the one with the national emblem facing up is for the Chinese restaurant."
He placed the coin in his left palm and covered it with his right hand. He left enough space in the middle for the coin to tumble freely as he shook it up and down. He shook it about a dozen times before presenting his answer to Xue Jiuyue.
"Yes, let's go eat Western food."
"No." Liu Che didn't move, but smiled mysteriously, then explained: "The moment you saw the words, did you have the slightest thought of wanting to do it again?"
"How do you know?"
"Let's go have Chinese food."
…
This is a fashionable Chinese restaurant that offers both northern and southern cuisines. It also offers pre-matched set meals, saving you the trouble of choosing dishes when ordering.
Since Liu Che's opinion was still casual and without any restrictions on food, Xue Jiuyue ordered a set meal for two.
"Want a drink?"
“You drink, I drink.”
This time Liu Che didn't say it casually, but directly adapted the classic lines, which made Xue Jiuyue chuckle.
"You can joke, too?"
"Look at what you said. I'm just an ordinary person. But you reminded me of a joke. A little kid saw his teacher in the toilet. He was so scared that he wet his pants. My God, the teacher also went to the toilet!"
This was the first time Xue Jiyue had seen Liu Che tell a joke. His lively and vivid manner was in stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor. It was like the characters in a painting had come to life, becoming more vivid and three-dimensional. "How about dry red wine, teacher?"
"Well, good! It's good for beauty and helps you sleep! This kid is teachable."
Xue Jiuyue studied Liu Che with great interest. His lips were distinct but soft, his nose was straight and not thin, his eyebrows were proud, and his dark eyes were deep and quiet. Overall, he looked handsome and warm. Yes, it was still the same Liu Che she remembered, but the current style reminded Xue Jiuyue of "Spit Star".
"Do you usually go online?" Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but ask.
"Come on, listen to the news or something."
"So, do you play games online?"
"Not very convenient. Why?"
This reason was indeed irrefutable. Xue Jiuyue seemed to be slightly disappointed.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking if there were any games you could play, I could play with you when I couldn't sleep."
"Okay, if this kind of game comes out, I'll call you."
"It's a deal."
At this time, the wine and food arrived. Xue Jiuyue poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Liu Che.
"Thanks!"
“It’s my duty!”
…
The most intoxicating feeling of alcohol is being slightly tipsy.
Being slightly tipsy is peach pink, with a peach pink complexion, peach pink mist, and peach pink feelings, like ambiguity, like being close yet distant, like just a taste.
Drunk or confused, awake or hazy.
A corner of gauze entwined with the half-embraced pipa, stopping the temptation at just the right point.
Xue Jiuyue was now in a state of slight intoxication. Relaxed and comfortable, everything was just right.
The previous topic just ended.
A moment of silence left many thoughts, which were just right to accompany the wine.
After clinking glasses, Xue Jiuyue wanted to start a new topic, but suddenly she realized she didn't have a good name to call her. Simply calling her "Che" would seem much more intimate than calling her "Jiyue" or "Xiaoyue."
She was hesitating to say "hmm" when Liu Che spoke sympathetically, "Call me Xiao Ming from now on."
"What's your nickname?" Xue Jiuyue was puzzled.
"Yeah, Ming as in bright."
"Xiao Ming?" Xue Jiuyue couldn't help laughing. "Sorry, sorry, you're being too perfunctory, right? It's the name you get for topping up your phone."
"A name is just a code name. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Xiao Ming is such a great name, it blends in with the crowd. All the good things are done by this Xiao Ming, and all the bad things are done by other Xiao Mings. How wonderful!"
"Okay, Xiao Ming, hahahaha."
…
When they came out of the mall, it was almost closing time. At Liu Che's insistence, he used his phone to call a designated driver, who took Xue Jiyue to the store to pick up her phone, then took her home. He then took a taxi himself. Xue Jiyue also asked Liu Che to let her know when he got home.
After everything was settled, sleepiness was still nowhere to be found.
Will the "spitting star" be there every day? With this question, Xue Jiuyue turned on the computer again.
"Hello, beautiful lady! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Are you here every day?"
"Yes! I'm here every second. I'll be here as long as Miss Yue needs me."
"Tsk, I don't believe you, you must be a one-night stand too."
"Oh, Miss Yue, it's so embarrassing! How about we go play a few rounds of cards?"
"I don't want to play cards today! Why are you counting on your fingers to figure out what I have to do today?"
"Wait a moment, I'll tell you a fortune. May the heavens and earth be merciful, and may the Jade Emperor appear. Ah, the 'Zeshan Xian' hexagram, the six lines are quiet. A young man and a young woman are meeting for the first time. Miss Yue, should she be on a date today? And it's her first time. A guy might seem restrained in front of you, but Miss Yue is taking the initiative and is very happy. It seems Miss Yue is of higher status than the guy. I wonder if what I said is true?"
"What details did you use to judge? Speak human language!"
"Lord Yue is indeed worthy of being called the Great Judge of Heaven, and he sees everything clearly. Let me explain it to you in detail. The last time you came online, you didn't want to play cards because your younger brother sent you flowers and asked you to go to the movies. History always repeats itself. This time, it's likely that you are facing relationship problems again. But judging from the number of words you and I have spoken, you are in a good mood, so it shouldn't be your younger brother. But there should be no substantial progress, otherwise you would be in love and have no time to chat with me. So, I have a rough answer. But it's unfair, Lord Yue, and I am really unfair too! I really did draw a divination, and it was indeed the "Salty" hexagram. My subsequent detailed judgments are all based on the hexagram image. Anyway, the front is basically correct, and the discrepancies in the later details are just minor flaws in a perfect jade."
She was used to Tui Mo Xing'er's judgment, which was always incredibly accurate and insightful. But she was really surprised when he later said that the details were deduced from the hexagrams in the Book of Changes.
"Is there really such a thing as a prediction?"
"The Master does not speak of strange things. He acknowledges what he knows and what he does not know."
"Zi Bu Yu, it is Confucius who is silent, you speak!"
"Yes! I don't know, I just understand. Since our ancestors passed it down, and so many sages and saints have revered it as a golden rule, who am I, a mere mortal, to question it? But compared to our ancestors, our advantage lies in the development of modern science, the broader perspectives afforded by mathematics and astronomy. So I understand prediction as a mathematical model, the same kind used in physical examinations and diagnoses, a probabilistic assessment of future developments based on historical experience."
This long paragraph may touch upon the area that "Spitting Star" loves, his rare seriousness.
"That makes sense! I actually wonder if everyone can predict things. That's why they say women have a 'sixth sense'. I often get these inexplicable premonitions, too."
"The so-called 'sixth sense' is based on minute details. As for your claim that everyone can predict things, that's quite a curious statement. Could you elaborate?"
"I only have a vague concept, it's still immature. I'll tell you when I've perfected it. Do you think there are past lives?"
