An Lan followed me into the house. I poured her a glass of water, took a glass myself, and then opened the packaging box.
Immediately, the aroma of braised pork hit your nostrils, and it was quite warm.
"Why do you just buy one portion? Don't you want to eat it?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Look, I said I wasn't hungry, but you still bought it for me. Now that you say you're not hungry, you should eat some."
An Lan frowned slightly and said, "I'm really not hungry, please eat quickly."
"Then how can I let you watch me eat? Anyway, this is quite a lot. Let me share some with you and eat together." With that, I went to the kitchen to get a bowl.
An Lan didn't refuse anymore. I took out half of the braised pork rice in the lunch box and handed it to her.
But she waved her hand to me and said, "It's too much. I can't eat it. You need to get some back."
"eat more."
"It's really too much. It's a waste if you can't finish it."
I asked her tirelessly: "How many pounds did you weigh when you were at your heaviest?"
"Except when I'm pregnant, it seems to be one hundred and five."
"when?"
"Why do you ask this when you are studying abroad?"
"I remember that you are 1.68 meters tall and weigh 1.05. Well, if I guess correctly, your appearance and figure were at their peak when you were studying abroad."
An Lan smiled and replied: "I didn't pay attention, but I think the temperament is different at every stage of life, so it may not be the peak at that time."
"Do you have any photos from that time? If so, show me."
"I don't like taking photos, you don't know that."
"Oh, tell me, how much do you weigh now?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
"I'll tell you after you tell me."
An Lan had a helpless expression on his face, and then patiently said to me: "The weight was 92 pounds during the last routine physical examination."
"Too thin, too thin, so you have to eat more to get back to 105 pounds."
An Lan looked at me blankly, and after a while he smiled and said, "So you ask me so many questions just because you want me to eat more?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
An Lan looked at me a little unreasonably, and finally shrugged and said, "No problem, can't I just eat it?"
"That's right, I just didn't tell you that when you came back this time I found that you had obviously lost weight."
"When I was pregnant, I weighed over 110 pounds."
"But I can still feel that you are very thin. When I first saw you, you were not like you are now. You should eat well."
After pondering for a while, An Lan whispered to me: "Okay, I accept your criticism. From today on, I will eat well and try to eat back to 105 pounds as soon as possible."
"That's right, when people become fat, their hearts will become wider."
An Lan smiled and replied: "But I can't get fat no matter how much I eat, what should I do?"
"No way, you just pay too much attention to your figure. You must not eat those high-calorie foods."
"for example?"
"Have you ever had barbecue, burgers, etc.?"
"Not really."
"That's right, you have to eat these and gain the weight back."
"But don't you think this is unhealthy?"
I waved my hand and said with a smile: "I don't want you to eat it often, just eat it occasionally."
"How about going now?"
I was stunned. I didn't expect her to be so direct. After being stunned for a moment, I replied with a smile: "Okay, this braised pork rice isn't enough for me anyway. I just want to go get some drinks."
This is not the first time An Lan and I have gone out to eat at a roadside stall, but the last time was a year ago. It feels like it was yesterday, but it has obviously been more than a year.
We didn't drive because we wanted to drink some wine.
Not far from where I live, there is a night market street, which is particularly lively at night.
In addition, because it was the weekend, there were many barbecue stalls when we arrived, and there were no seats at the outdoor tables.
So we walked side by side towards the end of this night market street, hoping to find a barbecue stall that still had space.
"Why are there so many people here?" An Lan suddenly said while walking quietly.
"It's a weekend, and there are a lot of schools and a university nearby, and even on a normal day, this street is quite crowded at night."
"I see."
We walked the entire street and couldn't find any BBQ restaurant with vacancies. This is really unprecedented.
I don’t know if God is deliberately playing a trick on me by not letting An Lan and I have a barbecue together.
But neither An Lan nor I intend to give up. We plan to wait until those guests finish eating. Anyway, we have a lot of time now.
There is a small supermarket next to it. There is a game console at the door. Two people who are probably students from a nearby school are sitting in front of the machine, passionately playing a King of Fighters game that I used to play.
There were a few people standing behind him, watching with great interest.
An Lan saw me staring at the game console screen, and she suddenly asked me: "Can you play?"
"Of course I will. I have played this game no less than eight hundred times. I am the best among masters."
"Are you bragging?"
"I'm really not bragging to you. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my skills?"
"Go ahead, it's okay now anyway."
"Do you have any coins in your bag?" I asked An Lan.
"Let me look for it." An Lan said and started looking for it in the bag.
After a while, he took out a one-yuan coin and handed it to me and said, "There's only one."
"enough."
I walked behind the boy and saw that he was playing a character named "Kyo Kusanagi" in the game. This character is quite popular because he is very handsome and has cool ultimate moves.
His operation was quite smooth, and the opponent was quickly knocked out.
"Who else wants to challenge me? Hurry up and let you see how lonely it is to be invincible."
I sat next to the boy, watched him play for a while and then said: "Handsome boy, you played well!"
"How about it? Do you want to challenge me?"
I took out the coins and put them into the machine and said to him, "How to play?"
"The loser will give the winner ten yuan, do you want to play?"
"If I lose, I'll give you a hundred." I said confidently.
"Good guy, you are quite rich."
"Coming?"
"Come just come, I'm afraid of you!"
This guy is quite aggressive. I will let him see what a high-level player is later.
There was a girl standing behind the young man. She seemed to be the young man's girlfriend, and she was still cheering him on.
The young man shook his hair handsomely and said to the little girlfriend: "Don't worry, I will definitely win the 100 yuan, and I will buy you milk tea later."
We started selecting characters, and each side could choose three characters. He still chose Kyo Kusanagi and the two soy sauce characters, and challenged me to kill me with only Kyo Kusanagi.
I also chose my favorite Yagami and Shiranui Mai, as well as Nikaido Benimaru.
At the beginning of the game, Mai Shiranui, the first person I appeared on the stage, was knocked out of half of her health by his set of combos.
This young man is really awesome, his operation is very smooth, as if he is Kyo Kusanagi, his whole person comes alive.
More and more students gathered behind us, most of them cheering me on. I guess those who cheered me on were defeated by him.
The only person who cheered him up was his little girlfriend. It was true love, and his voice almost broke.
I admit, I haven't played this game for a long, long time, and the controls are a bit out of shape.
The first character was defeated by him in less than a minute, and I have to say that the other character was really powerful.
At the beginning of the second round, those who cheered for me seemed to have lost confidence in me, and some even said that I was another unlucky guy.
But at this moment, I heard An Lan’s voice coming from behind: “Chen Feng, come on!”
