Chapter 74 Childhood Invasion (First Update)
"Try it, how does it taste? This casserole beef is especially delicious, and there is a limited quantity every day." Chen Shuyao served Fang Yu a small bowl.
There was a glimmer of hope in Chen Shuyao's eyes, and she looked like she really wanted to be recognized.
Fang Yu took a sip of the soup. It was a clear soup made from stewed beef brisket, with a slight taste of black pepper. The soup was rich and delicious, as if it was made from a whole cow.
The stewed beef brisket is not particularly soft, but still has a slight chewiness. When the teeth intersect, the taste of beef and the aroma of fat spread from the mouth to the nose, making people unable to resist eating another piece.
"Delicious!" Fang Yu gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.
Chen Shuyao immediately showed an excited look.
"You are very familiar with this place. Did you come here often before?" Fang Yu threw out a topic. Since he was playing the role of prey, he had to give the hunter the opportunity to set bait.
Chen Shuyao held the bowl and sipped the soup: "Yes, I lived here when I was a child, in that building."
Chen Shuyao pointed to a five-story residential building behind Fang Yu. The first floor of the residential building was also a street shop.
"I went to Chinese primary school, and my dad would pick me up from school every day. Sometimes when we got home, he would bring me here to eat clay pot."
"Actually, I didn't really like eating these at the time. I preferred KFC and McDonald's, but my dad loved eating them, so I had no choice but to accompany him. Every time I came, I would pout."
Shen Shuyao stretched out her finger, tapped her lips lightly, and made a pouting expression.
Under the steam from the casserole, Shen Shuyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and when she pursed her lips, they looked even more rosy and plump. Even Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
"My family moved when I was in junior high school, so I rarely had the chance to come over and eat Old Man Wang's clay pot."
"But I don't know why, but over the past two years I've been thinking about the taste of this place from time to time. I read the reviews and realized how popular it has become."
“It’s okay. Although the store is older and more crowded than before, the taste remains the same as when I was a child.”
Chen Shuyao closed her eyes, as if recalling her childhood.
No matter what the reason was for this dinner, it was essentially the first date between a pair of ambiguous men and women.
On a first date, whether it is the man or the woman who chooses the place to eat, it is actually inappropriate to choose a street-side restaurant like Wang Lao Di that has a long queue.
A noisy environment, poor hygiene, poor service, and no dating atmosphere—almost every one of these is a disadvantage for a date.
If the location was chosen by the man, it means that he either has no feelings for the other person or has very low emotional intelligence.
The same applies if the woman chooses the location.
Of course, there are also some tomboys who will deliberately choose such places to show that they are down-to-earth and not materialistic.
But such a choice generally does not produce very good results.
As a green tea of the Eighteen Royal Trees level, Shen Shuyao's reason for choosing this place would certainly not be such a low-level reason.
What Chen Shuyao did was actually called childhood invasion.
If this was just an ordinary internet-famous store with a long queue, Chen Shuyao's behavior would certainly be a mistake, but what if this place carried her memories from childhood to adulthood?
Although Fang Yu and Chen Shuyao were from the same college, they had never had any intersection in their lives in the past twenty years, and they had no chance to work together after going to college.
In this situation, childhood invasion is a useful strategy to quickly establish an emotional connection with the other person.
For most people, childhood is the most beautiful time, so accordingly, the people who appear in childhood memories are naturally beautiful as well.
This is why so many people yearn for and miss the innocent feelings of childhood sweethearts.
By taking the other person to do the things you did as a child and to the places you went to as a child, you can create a virtual sense of childhood participation in the other person's mind, making the other person feel as if they are participating in your childhood and growth experience.
In this way, even if two people have never met before, it is easy for them to develop a deep relationship similar to that of childhood sweethearts.
But it is worth noting that childhood invasion is not something that can be used by everyone. This trick can only increase the other person's emotional ceiling towards you when the other person already has a good impression of you and hopes for further contact.
Some people may say that these are useless and the key is to be handsome and beautiful.
Indeed, being handsome and beautiful are prerequisites for making the other person feel good about you, but they are just a stepping stone.
How deep the other person's feelings for you are in the end, and whether you can make him/her love you to death, all depends on your micro-management.
Just like passing the C9 exam, you will most likely be able to find a good starting position after work, but what achievements you can make in the end will depend entirely on your own abilities and the resources behind you.
Because of her outstanding appearance, Shen Shuyao has enough confidence to make any boy like her, including Fang Yu.
Chen Shuyao felt that if she just wanted to hook Fang Yu, there was no need to go through so much trouble. Fang Yu would most likely take the bait with just a few flirtatious glances. At most, she could just seduce him a little. Men, after all, how hard is it to pursue them?
But what Chen Shuyao wanted was obviously not that simple.
What she wanted was for Fang Yu to fall completely in love with her, become her slave, and obey her.
Only in this way can her desire to conquer be satisfied.
"Did you go to Bowen in elementary school?" Fang Yu filled another bowl for himself and asked while eating.
Shen Shuyao nodded: "Yes, how did you know?"
Fang Yu chuckled, "This is the Bowen area. Past this intersection, it's the Ping'an No. 1 Primary School area. I went to Ping'an No. 1 Primary School."
"If you were coming back here from Bowen, you would have passed by Ping'an No. 1 Primary School. You might have bumped into him on the way home from school."
"At that time, your school was near a major intersection, and stalls were not allowed at the entrance. Your students always went to our school entrance to buy snacks. I remember most of the boys bought spicy noodles. What did you girls buy?"
Fang Yu drank the soup until it became thin.
Reverse invasion.
"Mimi shrimp crackers and popping candy!" Chen Shuyao blurted out.
Ouch? And popping candy?
I will buy some for you when I have the chance so that we can experience the childhood memories together.
"Did you live near here when you were a child?" Chen Shuyao widened her eyes, her eyes flashing with surprise.
Fang Yu continued to drink his soup: "My family lived in Guangming Lane at that time, just two alleys away."
Ping'an District is the central old city area of Haixi. It is also the smallest administrative district with the best educational resources. Its area is only one-tenth of that of other districts, but it concentrates more than half of the top educational resources.
Ping'an District has 7 of the top 10 primary schools in Haixi, including the top 5, and it also has five of the top 10 middle schools.
So many excellent educational resources are squeezed into a small area of less than ten square kilometers, and the distance between schools is actually not far.
Moreover, since both primary and secondary schools are very good, the chances of getting into a good university are naturally higher than in other administrative districts.
As the best university in Haixi, National Haixi University is the first choice for most Haixi students. Students who attended school in Ping'an District when they were young account for a large proportion of the total number of students from National Haixi University.
For example, Huang Xiang also went to primary school in Ping'an District.
But Fang Yu's way of expressing himself made Chen Shuyao feel: Ah, maybe he and I had met when we were young, and maybe we had even talked to each other. Could it be that we are really destined to meet?
