In a food stall in Guangcheng, Ye Mengqiu and Xiao Zijian were washing the dishes and chopsticks while waiting for the waiter to serve.
After cleaning the dishes, Ye Mengqiu joked: "Xiao Jianzi, why did you remember to treat me to a midnight snack today?"
Xiao Zijian replied: "It sounded like you would have time yesterday. I saw you on 2/5 yesterday. I thought you were not available, so I didn't look for you."
Ye Mengqiu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Zijian's answer, because this was not the first time they had made a bet.
Their previous bet meant that the loser would treat the other person to late-night snacks for a week, which meant that he would treat the other person to late-night snacks for seven days in total, not that he would treat the other person to late-night snacks for seven consecutive days in the week after the bet.<
/p>
Therefore, they usually choose to invite each other to have supper together when both parties are free. This is a tacit understanding between them.
Otherwise, if one of them is unavailable, wouldn’t it be necessary to invite them?
The reason why Ye Mengqiu asked this question was, on the one hand, to tease the other party, and on the other hand, he wanted to find something to talk about.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zijian was right. He really had no time yesterday and didn't go to bed until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.
The two chatted casually for a while, and then the waiter brought out their midnight snacks.
The midnight snack they ordered today was fried escargots with perilla and two bowls of soup. When the waiter brought the midnight snack, a rich aroma hit their nostrils.
Ye Mengqiu's throat moved as he looked at the fried snails with perilla on the table.
I saw that the snails in the bowl were soaked in reddish-brown sauce. The red peppers and snails of the same color absorbed enough of the sauce and showed a crystal luster under the light, which is very appetizing.
Ye Mengqiu couldn't wait to pick up the disposable gloves prepared by the waiter and put them on his hands.
Then I picked up one of the snails in the bowl with my hands. The soup instantly stained my gloves, and the aroma of fried snails with perilla immediately hit my nostrils.
Smelling the aroma, Ye Mengqiu used a toothpick to pick open the small piece of the snail shell, and then picked out the snail meat inside.
Although the snail meat is only so small, when Ye Mengqiu put it in his mouth, he immediately felt the salty aroma of the sauce and the spiciness of the pepper.
He tried to bite it twice, and felt that the snail meat in his mouth was very chewy. Before he could taste it carefully, he hurriedly swallowed it, and the aftertaste of the fried snail meat with perilla was still lingering in his mouth.
After Ye Mengqiu took a sip of the clear soup, he picked up a fried snail with perilla and continued to taste the deliciousness of the fried snail with perilla.
He picked out the meat from the snails one by one, then put them in his mouth to taste, one bite at a time, feeling like he couldn't stop.
Xiao Zijian is obviously an expert at eating snails. He moves very smoothly and eats extremely fast.
Ye Mengqiu naturally saw his movements, glanced at him, and also speeded up eating snails not to be outdone.
The two of them stopped talking and began to immerse themselves in the fried snails with perilla, enjoying this delicious late-night snack.
Within ten minutes, they had eaten the full bowl of fried snails with perilla, leaving only the sauce.
Ye Mengqiu burped with satisfaction, took off the gloves he was wearing, and threw them into the trash can under the table.
The same goes for Xiao Zijian. The two of them enjoy this leisurely moment together.
Buzz!
At this moment, a vibrating sound suddenly sounded, and the two of them looked at the source of the vibrating sound.
They discovered that it was Xiao Zijian's cell phone that vibrated on the table.
Xiao Zijian quickly picked up his phone and found that it was a WeChat message from Lin Xiuxiu, his blind date.
He was a little surprised, but after reading the message, he quickly replied to the message and then put the phone on the table again.
Paying attention to his expression, Ye Mengqiu asked: "What? Who sent the message?"
Xiao Zijian replied: "It's Lin Xiuxiu. She asked me if I have been very busy recently. Why didn't I send her a message?"
Ye Mengqiu was a little surprised and asked: "Have you not sent a message to your sister Lin recently?"
Xiao Zijian didn't seem to be very satisfied with Ye Mengqiu's choice of words. He sneered and said: "Hey, Sister Lin, I haven't met her a few times, right? Didn't she let me go before? I thought this blind date was her
It was already cold, so I stopped sending her messages so as not to say I was pestering her."
"You were not like this before. I remember someone once showed off in front of me how good his sister Lin was." Ye Mengqiu dug out his old accounts and asked: "Also, what have you been doing these days?
She didn’t even send her a message? Didn’t she say that she would make an appointment next time when she had the chance?"
Xiao Zijian expressed his opinion, "I thought it was just an excuse, I thought she was just rejecting me tactfully."
Ye Mengqiu helped analyze: "This is all your own imagination. You have to ask questions clearly. Otherwise, how do you know that others are making excuses instead of really having difficulties.
"If it is really her former best friend who came from out of town to look for her, then she really needs to be entertained. The only thing to blame is that her best friend came over without saying hello in advance and disrupted your date.
By the way, how did you answer her just now?"
Xiao Zijian answered truthfully: "I said I wasn't busy, but I didn't know if her best friends were still there, and I was afraid of disturbing them, so I didn't send him a message."
Hearing his words, Ye Mengqiu smiled and said: "Haha, you didn't directly say what you just thought, that's good."
Xiao Zijian smiled proudly and said: "Hehe, I'm not stupid, I know there are some things I shouldn't say."
As soon as Xiao Zijian finished speaking, he found that his phone on the table vibrated again.
He took the phone, read the message, and then said: "She said that her best friend has gone back, and she wants to go out for some fun this weekend, but she doesn't know where to go, so she is a little upset now.
"What does she mean? Why is she telling me this? Does she still want me to recommend interesting places to her?"
Ye Mengqiu helped analyze: "Maybe she wants you to chat with her to relieve her boredom. Of course, it may also be that she wants to hint to you that she is free this weekend and wants you to take the initiative to ask her out. Didn't she say before?
Do you have a chance to make an appointment again?"
After listening to Ye Mengqiu's analysis, Xiao Zijian felt that it made some sense.
He complained: "Is that so? Then why didn't she say it directly? Then I'll ask her first if that's what she meant."
Hearing that Xiao Zijian wanted to ask Lin Xiuxiu directly, Ye Mengqiu, who had been "trained" by the system, vaguely felt that it was not a good idea to do so.
He stopped Xiao Zijian's movements and said: "Wait a minute, don't ask yet. I think it's not good to ask a girl directly like this.
Xiao Zijian asked in confusion: "Can't I ask directly? How should I ask?"
