Chapter 37
Ming Yunle felt that his fatigue seemed to have eased a lot.
Ruan Yan's phone rang. He picked up the phone and said a few words before asking Ming Yunle, "Gu Jing asked if there was anything he really wanted to eat tonight."
"Hot pot." Ming Yunle leaned over to the phone and said without thinking, "I want spicy hot pot."
Although they had eaten a lot at noon today, he had taken a walk and exercised in the afternoon, so he had digested it long ago.
It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned, but now that dinner was mentioned, Ming Yunle felt very hungry.
Even though they were asked what they wanted to eat, it was not yet time for dinner, so Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan did not go downstairs.
They chatted for a while, talked about the badminton game in the afternoon, and mentioned some previous games.
Ming Yunle said, "Your winning rate seems to be zero when we play badminton. How about trying a new sport next time? One where we're evenly matched?"
Ruan Yan said: "I don't think I have discovered this kind of movement yet."
After Ming Yunle thought about it, he found that it was true.
"We can learn a whole new sport from scratch, so everyone's at the same level."
Ruan Yan said, "Okay, what do you want to learn?"
Ming Yunle was stumped by the question again. Seeing that Ming Yunle was still thinking, Ruan Yan felt that he had thought about it enough, so he should think about it more.
"It doesn't have to be sports, anything else will do."
When I went downstairs at five in the afternoon, the same people were still in the living room.
After Ming Yunle mentioned this matter, everyone helped to think about it.
It is really difficult to find a sport that Ming Yunle has not tried. Given his and Xia Chen's personalities, they have had some exposure to everything.
They thought about it for a while but couldn't come up with a solution.
Xia Chen didn't think of what exercise to do, but remembered something else.
"Do you remember you said you were going to travel in the fall?"
Of course Ming Yunle didn't forget. He could forget anything but this.
"Have you chosen a location?" Gu Jing asked.
Ming Yunle really hadn't chosen yet, so he asked Qin Bai, "You've been to a lot of places, which one is the most interesting?"
Qin Bai said, "Just because I've been there doesn't mean I've played there before, so I'm not sure. The last time I went out for a proper date was when I went to City M with you. It's been over a year now."
They discussed it outside for a while, and then Xia Chen thought it was okay to go to T City.
Since you can’t choose, just choose a popular city that everyone has traveled to recently.
City T is also on Ming Yunle’s travel list.
Ruan Yan said, "I've been to City T."
Ming Yunle: "Then let's go somewhere else. If I go alone, I can go to T City, but if we go together, we should choose a place we haven't been to. There are still many options anyway."
Seeing that he was about to delete City T from his travel list, Ruan Yan stopped him and said, "I only went to City T because of something, not for tourism."
Ming Yunle gave up the idea of leaving T City again.
"Although I was just passing by, I saw that the scenery outside was pretty good. It should be a place you like."
Since two people mentioned City T, and one of them was traveling together, Ming Yunle decided to temporarily set City T as the destination for this trip.
Now that the location is decided, the next step is to make a plan.
Although Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan like to make plans, they don't like to follow them completely.
Xia Chen and Gu Jing understood this point very well. Xia Chen said, "Just list some places you're interested in. Anyway, things may not go according to plan in the end."
They chatted here for a while and the hot pot was ready.
After an afternoon, everyone was very hungry and gave up the discussion and went straight to the restaurant.
Ming Yunle looked at the soup base on his side several times, and then looked at Ruan Yan's light soup base.
"It's rare to see you eat spicy food." Ming Yunle said, "When we ate vegetables before, the dishes you ate were also slightly spicy."
Ruan Yan said: "You have asked questions about this before."
"Really?" Ming Yunle no longer had any impression of this.
"Yeah." Ruan Yan thought for a moment and said, "It was a long time ago, probably when we were...fourth or fifth time eating together. We also had hot pot at that time, and we ordered a shabu-shabu hot pot. You asked this question."
"You still remember this?" Ming Yunle asked in surprise, "How long ago was that? Two years? Three years?"
"You asked me if I couldn't eat spicy food. I said I could eat it occasionally, but not very well."
When the past was mentioned, Ming Yunle also recalled some memories of that time.
They were eating hot pot together at the time, and he asked because he saw Ruan Yan was eating very light food.
At that time, he heard that a new hot pot restaurant had opened in K City and had always wanted to try it, so he went to eat.
Although it was only their fourth or fifth dinner date, he and Ruan Yan were already very familiar with each other.
Ming Yunle was a little absent-minded when he thought of the memories of that time.
So much time has passed in a flash.
Xia Chen said: "Gu Jing can't eat spicy food either."
Ming Yunle saw that Gu Jing's pot was also clear soup, while his and Xia Chen's were both spicy.
Ming Yunle is okay, he likes to eat anything delicious, but Xia Chen loves spicy food.
Xia Chen said, "When we go out to eat, we always eat our own food. I eat my food, he eats his. Occasionally, we come across a dish that tastes the same, and we write it down. We've written down several dishes."
This is also a very novel experience, Mingyun thought happily.
Everyone was very satisfied after the hotpot meal.
Because he exercised a lot this afternoon, Ming Yunle ate more than usual.
Ruan Yan has to go home to live because he has to clean the house every day, and the same goes for Gu Jing.
Both of them are prepared to clean up their home for a long time.
Before leaving, Gu Jing asked how many trash cans he had bought. Ruan Yan looked at him helplessly and said, "I put one in every room. When you come back next time, I guarantee you'll see a trash can everywhere you go. You won't have to worry about having nowhere to throw your trash."
Gu Jing laughed for a long time, then thought of something interesting and said, "On the day we just moved, I didn't eat at home. I sent Xia Chen back and stayed at the villa overnight. I wasn't home the next day either, and stayed here the next day as well. It wasn't until the third day that I came back and Xia Chen came to visit me. When I invited him to dinner, I realized I didn't have a rice cooker."
Ruan Yan was shocked: "You forgot to buy the rice cooker?"
"Of course I didn't forget to buy it. I forgot to take it out from the warehouse. I put the cooking pot and many other things in it, but I forgot to put the rice cooker. Weren't you guys here too? How come you didn't notice it?"
Ruan Yan was still the one who cleaned Ruan Yan's kitchen at that time, but he just put some kitchen utensils in place and didn't pay attention to the electrical appliances.
Xia Chen also laughed when he thought of that scene. Xia Chen didn't expect that it was the rice cooker that was forgotten in the warehouse.
"Gu Jing's expression at the time was particularly funny. Later, he checked the room and found that not only the rice cooker but also the robot vacuum cleaner was left in the warehouse. He stayed in the warehouse for a long time, checking all the boxes before leaving."
It seems that Gu Jing's situation is not much different from Ruan Yan's.
*
Ruan Yan returned home not too late. He packed a box and didn't want to continue.
This box contains the sports equipment he bought.
He only remembered it because Ming Yunle mentioned the topic of sports.
After finishing the cleaning, Ruan Yan called Ming Yunle, who was in a place that looked familiar to him.
As long as he is in this place, Ming Yunle will do that.
"Are you reading a book?" Ruan Yan asked.
Ming Yunle pointed the camera at the cover of the book and said, "I'm reading the book you recommended to me."
After seeing it clearly, Ruan Yan said, "I've read this book again."
"You like it so much?"
"Um."
Ming Yunle put the book aside and asked, "How's the cleaning going? I see you're wearing pajamas, ready for bed?"
"I'll go to bed later." Ruan Yan said, "I plan to read for a while. I'm in the study now."
When Ruan Yan said this, he remembered the agreement they had made before. He stood up again, pointed the camera at the cabinet, and said, "Let's choose this place."
Ming Yunle was confused: "What?"
"Put the handicrafts here. This cabinet is empty now. If we make one handicraft a year, we can fill it up."
Ming Yunle smiled after seeing the full picture of the cabinet: "Then we have to live to at least 200 years old. No, even 200 years is not enough."
He thought about their trip to T City soon and said, "Let's do some handicrafts when we get there."
Ruan Yan was very happy: "Then it's settled."
Ruan Yan put his phone down and went to look for a book. After finding it, he started walking towards the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Ruan Yan leaned against the headboard, placed his phone on the bedside table, and asked, "If we go to T City, we must go to the park."
"right."
"Then we still have to choose carefully. We can't visit all the parks at once."
It would be impossible to visit all the parks in City T, so Ming Yunle said, "Let's each choose ten."
Ruan Yan was stunned and asked, "Twenty people? Isn't that too rushed?"
Ming Yunle really didn't want to talk for a moment. He said, "Of course not. If there are duplicates, we'll go to the ones we chose at the same time."
Ruan Yan also realized that this was impossible.
He asked, “What if none of them are chosen?”
Ming Yunle shrugged and said, "We'll discuss it when the time comes."
After Ming Yunle browsed the news from City T for a while, he said, "I'm also thinking about going hiking."
"Well, then let's all go."
"But I think climbing a mountain would be very tiring. I'll think about it again. Do you want to climb a mountain?"
Ruan Yan looked at the mountain Ming Yunle mentioned for a while and said, "I can do either."
Ming Yunle was a little helpless: "Tell me your opinion too."
Ruan Yan said, "I don't have any other suggestions. Let's pick a library to go to."
Ming Yunle wrote this down in his plan.
"Then we'll go try some famous local dishes. We'll also have to pick out some local specialties so we can pick more and bring them back."
After saying this, Ruan Yan stopped talking. His thoughts were only on the library and the local area.
