After the premiere ceremony, Lu Hao left quietly without disturbing anyone.
The movie was over, his mission and assignment were complete, and now he was going to do his private activities.
Have a meal.
To be precise, it's spicy crayfish.
Diner friend: Zhou Xiaomeng.
The location was the one the two of them used to go to, a couple's restaurant hidden in a small alley outside the west gate of the school. The spicy crayfish they made was very authentic. Although it was not large in scale, it had many repeat customers.
Lu Hao had already booked a small private room.
To be precise, it can't be called a private room. It's just a small compartment covered by a curtain, similar to the private room in an Internet cafe.
The sound insulation is also very poor, even if the neighbor farts, you can hear it here.
But it's better than nothing.
Three pounds of crayfish, spicy, five-spice, and garlic, were served separately.
Cilantro on top of spicy food.
The five-spice dish comes with shacha and chive sauce.
The minced garlic is densely sprinkled with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts.
The fragrance immediately began to dissipate.
"Lu Hao?"
Zhou Xiaomeng suddenly let out a soft cry.
Um?
Lu Hao put on gloves and peeled shrimp without looking up at her. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay."
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled but didn't say anything.
"No, what happened?"
Seeing that she was like this, Lu Hao knew that she had something to say, so he immediately looked up and asked.
"It's really okay. I just feel like you're getting more and more powerful. You used to be on earth, but now you're in heaven. For example, your speech today was so positive. It's not like you to be so positive."
Hearing this, Lu Hao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
While peeling shrimp, he told her the truth: "Isn't positive energy good? Do you want me to tell you that most of the people here will be nothing more than screws in their lives? Ordinary people? An ordinary life?"
"Besides, there's nothing wrong with what I said. I believe everyone knows it."
"It's just... one thing: the unity of knowledge and action. Some people can do it, and some can't."
Zhou Xiaomeng’s cute pout.
fraud!
Big liar!
After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "I have another question. Are you... tired?"
"I've noticed that you haven't stopped since last year. Other directors make one or two films a year, or at most three, and that's considered quite productive. But you've made almost ten from last year until now. You're not even idle during the Chinese New Year."
Lu Hao couldn't help but freeze.
Many people only care about how high you fly, but some people care about whether you are tired from flying.
"It's okay."
"The tiredness of being a boss is different from the tiredness of being an employee. Working 996 is really 996, squeezing into buses and eating takeout."
"Boss...I can stay up late, but when I secretly catch up on some sleep in the office, no one can see me."
No matter how tired you are, you can't say it.
This is a man's demeanor.
Lu Hao joked over.
However, to be fair, I really don’t feel tired. People can unleash infinite potential when doing things they like and enjoy it.
Zhou Xiaomeng:!!!
This is too heartbreaking!
"Here, the shrimp are peeled. Eat them quickly, or they'll get cold."
Lu Hao pulled over a plate, which was filled with freshly peeled shrimps, with heads and shrimp threads removed, and there were more than a dozen of them piled up.
The white, tender and lustrous shrimp meat, mixed with various seasonings, looks very appetizing.
Seeing this plate of shrimp...
Zhou Xiaomeng was suddenly stunned.
Then the eyes turned slightly red.
Times have changed, things have changed, and it has been a long time.
It’s just a lot of small habits, but they are still preserved intact.
At this moment, her mind was churning, her head looked away, she stood up, smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom first, and come back to eat later."
"Um."
Lu Hao didn't notice the change in her expression and said casually, "Hurry up, don't waste time."
The gloves were torn, so Lu Hao took them off, wiped his hands, poured himself a glass of beer, and drank it happily.
Soon, Zhou Xiaomeng came back.
After eating a few pieces of shrimp, she asked casually, "Have you ever peeled shrimp for others?"
Um?
What is the problem?
Lu Hao couldn't help but be stunned. He thought about it again and again, but there really wasn't anything.
In my memory, why did I peel shrimp for her?
It was because one time, when they were eating shrimp and chatting, Zhou Xiaomeng said that he saw a news report about a person who ate spicy crayfish and got his hand pierced by the shrimp shell while peeling it, which caused a bacterial infection and he died.
Since then, this habit has been there.
A wave of memories comes.
Look at what is in front of you again.
So what now?
It seems... it's a combination of stereotype and muscle memory?
or……
Lu Hao was silent for a moment, then lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "No! Do you think everyone is like you, lazy, stupid, and can't even peel a shrimp?"
"oh."
Although he was insulting her, Zhou Xiaomeng just said "oh".
This shrimp is still fragrant.
Just focus on eating it all.
Seeing that she had almost finished the food on her plate, Lu Hao put on a pair of gloves again and continued to peel the shrimps, shelling them one by one and collecting the meat.
Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't help but sigh.
"I feel like my life is going to be ruined by this spicy crayfish."
Lu Hao: ???
Why does this sentence sound familiar?
After thinking for a while, it suddenly occurred to me.
Oh, classic line.
In "In the Name of People", after Dakang's wife Ouyang Jing was arrested, she recalled the past and said this at the time.
