The two of us just kept messing around like this, from the island to the dining table, from dusk to midnight.
I didn't have the energy to cook, so I just grabbed a few cans of beer and went out to make some skewers.
There is a store downstairs, just a few steps away.
The clothes inside me were all dry, and I was wearing Liang Medong's down jacket outside. I looked like a quail with a short neck and a big belly.
Liang Medong held my hand and we walked all the way. He also bought a few boxes of Dumusi along the way. When he saw me looking at him, he explained: "We get a discount when we buy them together."
"I'll get through it pretty well."
It’s cheaper to just buy a box of certain treasures.
There are few people eating barbecue in winter, so the two of us found a booth in a corner, which was quiet and suitable for chatting.
As soon as we ordered, people started arriving one table after another, especially the table diagonally across from us, where a dozen teenagers were seated.
Liang Medong said: "It is said that people with a strong food god in their lives are like this. They can take guests wherever they go to eat."
I can also read the horoscopes.
I opened the beer, handed it to him and said, "Master Liang, you are this kind of person."
"Me?" Liang Medong took the beer with a smile and said, "It's obviously you."
"Me?" I bumped into him, "When I was a kid, I couldn't even eat. Doesn't the God of Cookery even care about the food?"
"Whatever," he said while holding peanuts, "didn't you send me to feed you later?"
The wine in Liang Medong's house is full of foreign writing, the can is colorful, the taste is rich, and the alcohol content is obviously much higher than our local beer.
I said, "What kind of wine is this?"
He said: "Read it yourself."
Okay, I read: "A-le-goose. Is this from some kind of goose factory..."
"Don't come here, English class representative!" He smiled and reached out his hand and pressed my head.
I laughed too and took a sip of wine.
It was like this before, when I teased him, he would press my head.
Liang Medong also remained silent.
The atmosphere became strange again.
In fact, this is the reason why the two of us have been messing around in the afternoon. There has always been a weird atmosphere between the two of us. If we don't mess around, it will become very weird when it is quiet.
Fortunately, the string came together now.
After eating for a while, Liang Medong suddenly said hesitantly: "Actually..."
I looked up at him.
He said seriously: "You really have the food god in your life."
I picked up the string and said, "I didn't expect you to pull it back again."
He laughed: "Because there is a sentence I didn't finish."
"What are you talking about?" I reminded him, "If you eat, it will be useless in the middle of the night."
He laughed again, took a piece of squid and chewed it slowly as if he was disgusted, while saying: "Often, when we go out to eat, I want to find a corner with you... It's not that I want to do something, I just want to talk to you. Talk. Just like now, people come in all the time... It’s so noisy and annoying.”
is that so?
To be honest, I can't remember such little things.
When I go out to eat with him, it’s just for the food.
I said: "Then you should take me to a high-end restaurant, one that ordinary people can't afford, a membership-only restaurant, like the revolving restaurant, where I can eat foie gras, truffle, caviar, lobster, abalone, dog claw snail... Definitely quiet.”
The noodles came up while we were talking. I brought them to Liang Medong and laid out a few skewers for him.
That's the way he is, if I don't arrange it for him, he can suck that squid right to the end.
Liang Medong honestly picked up the chopsticks and said, "You don't want to eat seafood."
I said, "I think so."
"I didn't see you eating in Harbor City yesterday." Liang Medong said, "Last time I called you, you still cursed."
I couldn’t remember the last time I called you, so I said, “No way, I didn’t scold you.”
Seeing that he didn't speak, I said again: "I was really anxious yesterday. When I saw you, I knew the order was gone. How could I still be in the mood to eat? If I had known it would end up like this, I would have eaten the abalone and sea cucumber on the table. Eating them all...the lobster looks really good."
Liang Medong smiled and shook his head: "You are just stupid."
I said, "Say it again."
He stopped talking and picked up the beer.
The two of us drank a can of beer together, and I felt a little bit drunk. I said, "You have a pretty good British beer."
"Yes." Liang Medong carefully ate the delicious food I gave him and said, "If you like drinking, I will move to your house next week."
"Then I'll accept it." I mainly thought of a topic to chat about, "Is the UK good?"
"It's not bad." He hesitated, as if he was unhappy, "Why do you ask?"
"I've never been there before." I handed him a quail and said, "I'm just curious, ask. It's okay if you don't want to talk."
He obviously didn't like the topic and stopped talking.
All right.
Just when I was thinking about finding another constellation to talk about, Liang Medong suddenly said: "It's very beautiful there."
"where?"
"Kent." He picked up the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks and blew gently while saying quietly, "I sent you a photo. Didn't you receive it?"
"No, you don't have my mobile phone number."
He raised his eyes, looked into my eyes, and said, "I sent the email."
I said, "I didn't receive it. Who still uses that kind of thing?"
He refused: "You promise to keep using it."
I said, "Have I promised? I have forgotten all my account numbers."
He applied for that email address for me.
The account number is eight digits, which is very complicated.
Can't remember, can't remember.
Liang Medong nodded, lowered his head and continued: "I went to Groombridge Manor."
"oh."
He patiently reminded: "It's the location in the movie version of Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth's home."
"oh."
"Oh what?" He lowered his head again and ate his noodles, "Forget it if you don't remember."
Next, the atmosphere turned completely cold.
The teenagers at the next table were laughing and joking, noisy but happy.
Among them were two young lovers in school uniforms. They hugged each other and kissed each other on the face and on the mouth.
Children nowadays are so courageous. Before Liang Medong and I opened a room, our palms were sweaty even when we touched our arms, let alone kissing.
After watching for a while, I suddenly felt strange. When I turned around, I saw that Liang Medong had indeed finished eating. He was leaning on the back of the booth and just looking at me.
This atmosphere is really not good.
So I stood up and walked around the table.
I was about to sit next to him, but suddenly I had an evil thought and sat on his lap.
Sure enough, I saw him frowning, so I put my arms around his neck, pulled his arms up and put them on my waist, and whispered: "You are a high school student who dares to do this. You are already twenty-six, what are you afraid of?"
He said nothing.
I held his face and pressed my forehead against his.
I pressed my face against his, just like yesterday in Harbor City.
I said: "I originally planned to buy you medicine and materials to bake a cake after hanging up the phone, but the broken fountain in your company sprayed too much water. If you want to blame it, blame it~"
He still didn't speak.
Yes, today is the 23rd, his birthday.
