Li Yongyuan once read a research paper on human memory. Human beings rely on the five senses, namely smell, hearing, taste, vision, and touch, to obtain every piece of information from the outside world and store the memory in their minds.
Food also carries memories.
Similar taste will open the dusty door in people's hearts.
That must have been ten years ago, when he was still attending an ordinary public primary school.
Li Chengqian's original intention was to cultivate Li Yongyuan's "people-friendly" easy-going attitude. After all, when power cannot be regarded as the overwhelming truth, qualified superiors must first learn to act.
However, Li Yongyuan, who has been naughty and funny since he was a child, did it. He became one with the crowd, and he had a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.
It wasn't until he beat up all the tall and strong guys in the class one by one that he became the demon king of the class.
For this reason, when Mr. Li swaggered back like a victorious little rooster and told Li Chengqian that fists are justice, he was spanked hard by his grandfather with a whisk.
The reason for whipping him was that his fist was obviously not big enough.
It's just that Mr. Li didn't tell Li Chengqian why he started fighting with the boys in the class.
Since the school is semi-enclosed, all students pay to stay in the cafeteria to eat at noon. Students from better families will bring their own meals, stay in the classroom to take a nap after dinner, and then go home in the evening.
Based on Mr. Li's family background at the time, no matter how hard Li Chengqian trained him, his grandson's food and clothing expenses would not be reduced.
So whenever two burly men wearing sunglasses and suits came to deliver lunch boxes to Li Yongyuan, no child would dare to mess with this young master from a wealthy family.
Mr. Li is too precocious to play with these little kids who are in elementary school and have runny noses all day long. He always finds a table to eat quietly.
Until one day when he was interrupted while eating, he heard the laughter of the boy next to him. A little girl with beautiful cheeks and a little baby fat was sitting on the dining table not far from him, opening the lunch box in her hand.
The edges of the stainless steel lunch box were severely worn. Even though it only contained white rice and green water spinach, she happily ate it. Facing the tall boy in the distance who stretched his head and looked at her humble meal, he smiled strangely and taunted her.
The girl's silent behavior was regarded as tolerance, which made the fat boy, who had always been taller and stronger due to his early physical development and was also a famous bully in the class, angry.
So the boy stood up from the other table and reached out his hand to knock over her lunch box.
Then Mr. Li, who still had a strong sense of justice at that time, covered his head with a bowl of unfinished crucian carp soup, pouring water from head to toe.
The little chubby boy was so frightened and angry that he punched Young Master Li hard in the abdomen with his backhand. As a result, Young Master Li backed away with difficulty and smiled evilly at the boy.
He proudly said in front of the onlookers that being able to punch him would be enough for this guy to brag about for the rest of his life.
Then Mr. Li rushed forward like a little tiger, knocked out two of the fat man's teeth with a knee and a punch, and blinding blood flowed all over the floor.
The little students who were watching had never seen this scene before, and they were all frightened. If they had the wisdom, they directly asked the teacher to deal with it.
Only Mr. Li walked back leisurely like a normal person, and brought the dinner plate directly to the girl's table amidst the fat man's cries.
In the surprised eyes of the beautiful girl, he picked up the water spinach in her lunch box and ate it without any explanation, and then pushed his nutritious meal to her.
Mr. Li found an empty chair and sat down alone, watching the fat man cry.
The final outcome was naturally that the little fat boy's mother, who was doing business outside, came to the school to take him away, and made a big fuss in the class teacher's office, saying that the child's injuries had been assessed at the hospital, and Li Longyuan's parents had to pay at least 20,000 yuan.
Mr. Li sat on the teacher's office chair and watched the woman argue with cold eyes, almost saying "compensation".
Then Li Chengqian, who had frosty white temples and was calm and self-confident, came on crutches surrounded by a group of bodyguards in suits. When the woman saw this arrogance, she lost half of her arrogance and quickly called her husband to support the scene.
In the end, Li Chengqian just waved with a warm face, and Zhou Gu turned around and handed over a silver suitcase in front of the teachers and parents, saying it was compensation. The box was opened, and there were two million US dollars neatly stacked inside.
The woman and the teacher were stunned. They had never seen so much money in their entire lives.
Just when the little fat man's mother thought for a long time and tentatively stretched out her hand to take over the suitcase, the man who was busy with business finally came in a hurry.
He grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her to the corner, with cold sweat on his forehead and whispered, "You don't want your life?"
Only then did the woman react.
People who can easily come up with two million US dollars in compensation in this era can easily destroy their businesses and families in a hundred ways.
A man who works hard outside has seen many ruthless people. If this compensation is not handled well, it may be the life money of their family.
Naturally, the ending was that Xiaopang's family did not accept the compensation, but bowed their heads and respectfully sent Li Chengqian off, while Li Longyuan was whipped after returning.
After this incident, there was an additional girl at the dining table where Mr. Li often sat alone.
He would forcefully divide half of the food in the girl's lunch box every time, either water spinach or shredded potatoes, and then give the girl the lunch made by a personal nutritionist.
Gradually, the two became familiar with each other.
"Actually, I can live without eating."
One day, the girl raised her head and looked at him with a sly smile, thinking she would scare the child.
As a result, the young Mr. Li actually believed her words, and even reached out to pinch the girl's baby cheeks, and said seriously: "It's better to eat more, so that you can have a reasonable reason to gain weight."
Then the girl, who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, grabbed a silver spoon and scooped up Mr. Li's cream ice cream for dessert, and took a sip of coconut milk tea with great pleasure.
"Actually, watching you eat is more delicious than eating it myself. No matter how delicious these foods are, in my eyes they are just energy supplements."
Young Master Li held his head and looked at the girl who was showing off her rice, and suddenly said something from her heart.
"It's like my grandfather sent me here just to teach me how to get along with ordinary people. In other words, how to become a human being."
"But I find it difficult because in my opinion, human life is meaningless.
Everyone is struggling in the mire, the people at the bottom are longing for rain and dew, and the people at the top are drowning in desire. The word mediocrity runs through most people."
The girl raised her head, and under the boy's forehead and eyebrows, all she saw was the indifference hidden behind good upbringing.
He is like an advanced robot hidden in the human world, imitating every move of a humble gentleman, but the innermost program is as cold as metal.
