The night was chilly.
The crowd was noisy.
Qin Bai walked to a roadside stall.
"Boss, a large bowl of beef noodles, please."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
I picked up the disposable chopsticks from the plastic box, broke them open, and rubbed them back and forth vigorously a few times.
These inferior chopsticks have many burrs; if you accidentally prick your hand, the pain will make you question your existence.
Because of its tiny size, it's difficult to find even if you want to.
It will only slowly appear when the flesh of the finger rots.
Qin Bai disliked the feeling of creating trouble for himself, so he would always eliminate these unnecessary factors before using it.
A dozen minutes later, the owner placed a bowl of noodles in front of him.
"Young man, can you handle spicy food? We have some freshly made chili oil here."
"Yes, thank you, boss."
Qin Bai loosened the buttons on his collar and casually tossed his expensive watch onto the table.
Then I added a large spoonful of chili oil and vinegar to the bowl.
I took a bite, but it still didn't taste right.
Add more spice.
He only stopped when the soup and noodles had turned red.
Looking at the bustling traffic in front of him, he ate his spicy noodles with gusto.
I remember when I used to work part-time, I would always go into a noodle stall and have a bowl of noodles whenever I passed by after get off work.
He could handle spicy food very well back then.
He's only eaten like that a lot in the last year.
Now that I've tried it, I can see that this is definitely the taste that suits me best.
Sweat dripped down his forehead. He grabbed a tissue and wiped it off casually before continuing to eat heartily.
There was no stopping, no waiting.
"Boss, a Coke, iced, please."
"They're here."
The shopkeeper handed him a bottle of cola, and paused for a moment when he saw the bright red color in his bowl.
"You can handle so much spice, the taste must be pretty good, right?"
"Wow~~~ It's so delicious, I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time."
Qin Bai's face flushed red, but he didn't hiss or laugh like the others.
The bowl of noodles was completely empty, along with the broth.
I unscrewed the can of cola and took a big gulp.
The carbon dioxide stung the areas in my mouth that had been soaked in chili peppers; the pain was real.
Sweat dripped down his face, but Qin Bai's face remained indifferent, his eyes unfocused.
In the distance, an elderly scavenger carrying a large woven bag walks between the various trash cans.
He would stare at the empty beverage bottles in the hands of some young people.
Until they are discovered, driven away, or given alms.
These kinds of multiple-choice questions, where you never know the answer next, happen all the time.
"Boss, check please."
After paying, Qin Bai put the watch back on his wrist and fastened the buttons on his collar.
He took the Coke bottle and walked to a spot a few meters away from the trash can.
Throw.
A perfect arc was drawn.
Snap!
It didn't go in.
The bottle rolled to the feet of the old scavenger.
The old man picked it up as if it were a treasure and threw it into the bag.
Qin Bai turned and left without expression.
good.
He's still alive.
Everything is real.
He used this method of testing himself countless times.
It works very well.
Walking slowly down the street, the smile on his face gradually returned, and he once again blended into this muddy world.
......
Feng Yaoyao greeted the elders with the gentle grace of a lady from a noble family.
Mr. Li was very satisfied with her performance today.
This precious apprentice handles both her work and interpersonal relationships with great skill.
Even the greedy glances from some young people were dealt with by her without leaving a trace.
Amidst a chorus of envious and jealous voices, the old man also drank too much.
The banquet has ended.
With his assistant's help, Mr. Li walked out.
"Yaoyao, hiccup~~~ I'll have my assistant take you home first. We old folks are going to have some tea for a while."
"Teacher, there's no need to go through that trouble. I can go back by myself."
"How can that be? I'm worried about you going back by yourself."
He turned to his assistant and said, "Go and take Yao Yao back."
The assistant looked at Mr. Li with some difficulty.
Now he feels like if he lets go, this old man can cosplay as a young person.
I'll fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow.
Feng Yaoyao smiled and said, "I've already called a car, so you don't need to worry about me."
Then she said to her assistant, "Thank you for your help, teacher. I'll be going now."
Ignoring Old Li's mutterings behind her, she quickly ran out through the front door.
Little White.
My little white car.
Although we didn't make any promises, I'm sure he'll come to pick me up.
These little games that require tacit understanding between couples are quite something to look forward to.
Feng Yaoyao stood at the entrance of the restaurant, looking around.
5 seconds later.
Eyes locked on.
Qin Bai smiled gently at her and walked towards her.
Hoo hoo!
Complete the mini-game.
The feeling of being able to see your loved one as soon as you step out of the door is simply indescribable.
Little Green Tea was radiating happiness.
"Little white white white white~~~~"
Feng Yaoyao raised her hands, like a child who had run out of kindergarten and immediately found her parents.
The moment she hugged Qin Bai, she gave him a hard kiss on the cheek.
The light color of the lip gloss left a mark on it.
"How was the banquet? Did you have fun?"
Qin Bai's gaze passed over Feng Yaoyao and lingered on the group of disappointed young people at the restaurant entrance.
"It's alright, but it feels a bit boring."
