I Don’t Want To Be Popular

What is this? Could it be cucumbers? Anyway, he didn’t dare to ask. The names of these dishes are “One is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of death”, “Beauty Liver”, “White Tiger Lying on the Beach”, “Tai Tai Le”...

Chen Chuan looked at it with a question mark: "How can Taitai Le fix it?"

"Scrambled eggs with leeks, do you want to eat? This is simple and delicious." An Di said.

"Does this have anything to do with Taitai Le?" Chen Chuan said speechlessly.

"Isn't leek nourishing the kidney? Isn't it?" An Di asked suspiciously.

"Yes, you won, so let's have a wife. It's almost the same." Chen Chuan felt that the names of the dishes behind were even more dazzling, and he didn't dare to order.

An Di took the water tofu again and said, "Then let's have a white tiger lying on the beach. Buy another box of strawberries and make a snowy red plum, which is strawberries mixed with sugar."

The two pushed the cart, and Andi picked the ingredients, and seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness caused by seeing Chen Chuan's text message in the cart.

Seven o'clock at night.

An Di took Chen Chuan back to her rented apartment.

Putting down the ingredients, Andi tied her long hair into a ponytail and said, "You rest, I'll cook, I cook very quickly."

"Okay, then I'll watch TV."

"I don't have a TV here. You can sit on the sofa and play with your phone," Andi said.

"Let me wash the vegetables for you, it will be faster that way."

"I don't need you to wash, I don't need you, I need you to shoot, that's nothing. I'll treat you to dinner, you go to rest, or just go downstairs for a walk. The scenery in this neighborhood is very good. When you come back in an hour, it will be about the same." It is." Andy said.

Chen Chuan listened to An Di's suggestion, this cottage is not big, it is a two-bedroom, warmly decorated and tidy.

After looking around in the house, I opened the door and went downstairs to get some fresh air outside.

This is a garden area by the sea, not low-grade, divided into east and west districts.

The east area is high-rise, and the west area is low-density garden houses.

At seven o'clock in summer, the sky is not yet completely dark, and the western sky is still a red sunset.

Chen Chuan bought a pack of cigarettes called "Zi Qi Dong Lai" at the 7-Day Convenience Store at the gate of the community, 140 yuan a pack.

It is said that before Laozi passed the Hangu Pass, Guan Yin was delighted to see the purple air coming from the east, and knew that a sage would pass the pass. Sure enough, I came riding on a green bull. A metaphor for auspicious omens.

Seeing the name is festive, Chen Chuan had never smoked it before, so he ordered a box.

Take a sip, there seems to be no original aroma, the shredded tobacco burns at a steady speed, the smoke is long, and everything is calm and calm.

He stood on the bluestone by the roadside, looked at the sea view in the distance, and the sunset glow on the sea, exhaled a puff of smoke, looked up at the fifth floor, where the kitchen was lit, and a woman was cooking for herself in an apron , this feeling is not bad.

A white Mercedes-Benz approached slowly and stopped slowly.

The window was rolled down, the female driver took off her sunglasses and looked at Chen Chuan who was smoking on the side of the road.

"Why are you here?" the female driver said in surprise.

Chen Chuan heard a loud sound in the carriage, and as the window fell, a song came out:

"The reason why I can't let go

Are you worried about turning into a beast?

to the rhythm of the heartbeat

Will it be suspended at the end of time?"

...

Chen Chuan in this song,

Looking over, I saw a small face with delicate light makeup, and a silver highlighter on the forehead that looked familiar.

"Chen Chuan, your grandma is so weak, seeing your reaction, don't you remember this girl?" The female driver laughed and cursed, "I am Wang Lixin."

"Huh?" Chen Chuan approached, looked at the girl driving, "Wang Lixin, are you this old?"

Wang Lixin scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about, but it's been several years since I saw you. It must have been more than four years? I haven't seen you since I graduated from high school. I heard people say that you have been miserable. You worked in an advertisement Working in the company, tired like a dog?"

"fine……"

Wang Lixin laughed: "I'm just joking. I only found out after hearing other students talk about your recent situation. If you have any difficulties, you can speak up, old classmate, help me as much as you can."

"OK, thanks."

"I'm leaving. By the way, are you not in our group in Class 3 and 2?" Wang Lixin asked again.

Chen Chuan nodded. In fact, in reality, after breaking up with Zhou Qi in his freshman year, he left the group. No more contact with a group of high school classmates.

Wang Lixin took out her mobile phone and said, "I don't have any friends with you, so I'll add you and pull you into the group. As the saying goes, a classmate for a lifetime is a friend for three lifetimes, and there will be a game in two days. They are all high school acquaintances, you have to come. Everyone I haven't seen you for several years."

"Oh, good." Chen Chuan also took out his mobile phone and added her as a friend.

I just feel that the years are a little trance.

Because in the world of novels, he and Wang Lixin have met before, and they also took care of Teacher Sima together, ate Haidilao together, watched the Milky Way, and played the game of listening to and recognizing songs. But later she was admitted to Jiangdong University, so she didn't contact her anymore.

But in reality, I haven't seen this high school classmate for many years.

After Wang Lixin added friends, she continued to drive and entered the neighborhood called "Haiyueting". The huge stereo sound in the carriage gradually faded away and there were no books.

It's quite a coincidence that An Di rents in this community, and Wang Lixin also lives here. Not only the renter but also her family is here.

Both Wang Lixin and Zhou Qi were beauties in the third and second classes of high school back then. Looking at the white Mercedes-Benz, Chen Chuan felt a little emotional ups and downs.

Because in reality, when he was in the third year of high school, he had a little affection for the beautiful girls in his class or grade, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a little happy with Wang Lixin. After all, this girl looks like a Barbie doll, which is quite pleasing.

But today is different.

Chen Chuan's trip to the world of novels is also a bit like reading a thousand sails.

Even if I met a beautiful girl from high school here, I didn't feel too much trouble in my heart, just a little emotional.

After wandering around the gate of the community for a while, I went back upstairs.

Although the range hood is turned on in the room, the semi-open kitchen still makes the room full of fragrance.

On the warm yellow solid wood dining table, there are plates and plates of hard vegetables.

Steamed Portunus, eight strips mixed with scallions, braised pork, braised mackerel in soy sauce, pandas eating Xiang, cucumbers, scrambled eggs with leeks, homemade fresh abalone, strawberries mixed with sugar, and tofu mixed with sugar.

"Ten dishes." Chen Chuan counted, and it was really high standard.

"I don't have any good wine here, I just have a case of beer in cans." Andi untied his apron and washed his hands.

Chen Chuan clapped his hands. In fact, the temptation of this table of home-cooked dishes is no less than the delicacies of mountains and seas in those luxuriously decorated restaurants outside. Because the homely taste of this place is really not found outside.

Snapped!

An Di opened a can of beer and put it in front of Chen Chuan. She also opened a can, held it up and said, "You are welcome to be a guest."

"Thank you for your hospitality, can I take a photo?" Chen Chuan touched her.

"sure."

The two took a sip each, and Chen Chuan took out his mobile phone.

"Wait, wait, it's fun to shoot like this." Andy put down the beer, turned around, bent down, and took out a candle from the drawer of the sideboard.

Chen Chuan handed over the 1 yuan lighters he bought from the convenience store downstairs.

Slap!

Andy lit a candle and turned off the lights in the house.

"Does it feel like a candlelight dinner?" Andi asked, she came to open the curtains, and there was a sea view outside.

Smelling the fresh sea breeze, looking at the ten dishes in the candlelight, and the beautiful and delicious 28-year-old high-cold beauty opposite him who has never been in love, Chen Chuan took a sip of cold beer and whistled.

In this moment of sip of beer, he drank the taste of Shawshank's redemption.
