"The same style as Li Chen?" Fang Yan was stunned for a long time and asked, "What do you mean the same style as Li Chen?"
"Don't you know?" The girl said with a disdainful expression, as if to say, "Uncle, you are out of date." "There is a very handsome teacher in our school named Li Chen. Every time he pursues a woman, he will give her a heart-shaped stone----"
The girl held up the small stone in her hand and said, "It's exactly the same as this one. Later he fell in love with Teacher Wang from our school. Teacher Wang posted a photo of the small stone on WeChat Moments, saying that it was Teacher Li Chen who accidentally picked it up while walking by the river, and it represented his wholehearted love for her-----As a result, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Lin from our school also posted photos of their own small stones on Moments at the same time, and said, Li Chen, your family runs a tourist souvenir shop, right? You wholesale a dozen at a time and give them away-----Later we found out that Teacher Li Chen's family does run a souvenir shop, and they have as many of these heart-shaped small stones as you want-----Now if boys in the school are pursuing girls they like, they will also buy a piece of this heart-shaped small stone to give away. It has become a trend. It's a very popular thing-----"
"My stone is different from Li Chen's." Fang Yan said seriously. He pointed at the dark purple star-shaped stone in the little girl's hand and said, "Do you know what kind of stone this is?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. Isn't it just a stone?"
"This is a meteorite," Fang Yan said. "It is a rock that was not completely burned out outside the earth and broke away from its original orbit or scattered to the earth in fragments. The meteors we often see are these big rocks that are burning and finally disappear completely or a small piece falls on the earth. It is not uncommon for a meteor to not burn out completely, but it is extremely rare for it to become a heart shape like this after burning. Do you think this stone is much heavier than small stones of the same size?"
The girl held the heart-shaped stone in her palm and rubbed it for a while, then looked at Fang Yan with admiration and said, "Brother Fang Yan, you are really amazing----"
"I discovered it by accident and found it quite interesting, so I collected it." Fang Yan said with a smile.
Fang Yan didn't pick up this stone by the river. He saw it in the antique shop of the Blue Mountain Club in Lanshan Valley and brought it back to give it to Ye Wenrou. Before he had time to give it away, he followed his master to Yanjing City.
Now the master forced Fang Yan to give a gift to the little girl. Fang Yan had nothing else in his hand, so he had to give this little stone away. It wasn't a rare thing anyway. If he wanted it, he could ask Lan Shan Gu and the others to help find it. If he couldn't find it, he could just polish it. Such a small problem would never stump a smart man like Lan Shan Gu.
"If Teacher Li Chen told a story like you, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Lin would not be angry, right? It turns out that the stone is not important. What is important is how you make up a story around the stone."
"-----" Fang Yan was drinking tea and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
The gentleman laughed out loud at the girl's words. Looking at Fang Yan, who looked embarrassed, he said, "You are one of the few sharp-tongued people in Yanziwu. Normally, no one can make you suffer. How was it? Did you meet a master today?"
"I was talking to her seriously, but she misunderstood me like this-----" Fang Yan said with a wry smile.
The little girl bowed slightly to Fang Yan. The V-neck of her white skirt drooped, revealing her small pigeon-like chest.
She smiled at Fang Yan and said, "Brother Fang Yan, I was just kidding you. Thank you for your gift. I know this stone is different from Teacher Li Chen's stone. This is a shooting star, a heart-shaped stone given to me by God."
"------"
The master waved his hand and said, "Okay, girl, come in and serve us the noodles. Please add more marinade for us. Your grandfather always puts too little, which is too stingy----"
The girl made a face at the gentleman and ran in with a smile on her face.
The gentleman retracted his gaze, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Her name is Bai Jie, she is Bai Xiu's sister----"
"I guessed it." Fang Yan said. "People with the surname Bai are rare to begin with, and those you specially brought here to meet are even rarer -"
"Fang Yan, I have never underestimated your wisdom. That is why I brought you here to have a look. This is Bai Xiu's home. His family runs a noodle shop. I discovered Bai Xiu because I like their noodles. Then I brought Bai Xiu to Yanziwu and let him stay with me all the time." The gentleman looked at Fang Yan seriously and said, "You saw it just now. Bai Xiu's sister is an ordinary person. She has no schemes and doesn't know any kung fu. His grandfather is a master of stewing sauce, and his father is a noodle master. Their family has been running noodle shops for generations. The most delicious noodles they make are noodles with soybean paste. You will know when you try them."
Fang Yan stared at the gentleman sharply and said, "Are you afraid that I will take revenge on these ordinary people?"
"Fang Yan, I can feel the anger in your heart. It's so strong that it scares me. I know Bai Xiu has wronged you. Bai Xiu killed your father and tried to kill you. Now Bai Xiu is dead, but the hatred in your heart has not completely dissipated. You are still thinking about revenge and killing people."
"I know that if you really want to, you will find this place sooner or later. With your scheming and means, you can destroy this family with just a flick of your finger." The gentleman said in a heavy voice: "From my point of view, I can't ask you to stop, and I don't want to say those nonsense about when revenge will end. I brought you here to let you see with your own eyes, to reassure you that this family can't hurt you. They will never hurt you."
Fang Yan's face was so gloomy that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it. He looked at the gentleman and said, "Sir, what kind of person do you think I am?"
The gentleman remained silent.
"Do you think I'm capable of doing something like that, sir?"
The gentleman remained silent.
"Sir, do you think I would attack these ordinary people who are powerless?"
"-------" The gentleman seemed not to hear Fang Yan's question.
"The noodles are here." The little girl Bai Jie came over with two large bowls of noodles on a tray. She placed the bowls in front of Mr. and Fang Yan, and then placed cucumber strips and a bowl of marinated sauce in front of them. She said with a smile, "Be careful when mixing. Don't let it splash on your clothes."
The little girl loved to laugh, and she habitually showed the two dimples on her cheeks every time she spoke.
The graceful little girl looks like a little sun when she smiles. She is radiant every time you look at her.
After she put the bowls of noodles in place, she looked at Fang Yan and said, "Brother Fang Yan, can I help you mix the noodles?"
Fang Yan then stopped staring at the gentleman, or rather the confrontation, and turned to look at the little girl and said, "Thank you, Bai Jie. I can do it myself."
"Ah, how do you know my name?" The little girl's fair face instantly turned red. She stared at the gentleman in dissatisfaction and said, "Grandpa Long, did you tell him?"
The gentleman lowered his head to eat noodles and said, "I gave you a shooting star, but I don't even know your name. How rude is that?"
"Then I should be the one to say it." The little girl said with a blushing face.
"Okay. You tell me next time," said the gentleman.
"You've already said it, what else can I say? Really." The little girl was a little angry.
The master pushed the bowl of noodles in front of Bai Jie and said, "Come, mix the noodles for grandpa."
"Hmph, just eat it yourself. I don't want to mix it for you." The little girl said proudly, puffing out her chest.
The gentleman shook his head, took back his bowl of noodles, poured the cucumber strips and marinade into the bowl and started mixing it himself.
Bai Jie saw Fang Yan's unfamiliar movements in mixing noodles, snatched the chopsticks from his hand, and said, "Brother Fang Yan, let me help you----"
As she spoke, she began to stir the chopsticks skillfully.
Whether pulling or tugging, plucking or pressing, Bai Jie's movements are agile and fast, with a unique rhythm, as if she is playing a musical instrument.
Bai Jie quickly pushed a bowl of noodles in front of Fang Yan and said with a smile, "Brother Fang Yan, please eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Fang Yan nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You just gave me a meteorite, so it's nothing for me to help you mix the noodles." The little girl squinted her eyes and smiled again.
The gentleman sighed softly and said, "This is really an age where appearance matters."
Bai Jie curled her lips and raised her head and said, "Huh, who told you to tell others my name? I should have told him my name myself. I had thought about it just now and wanted to tell him when I came out, but you got there first."
The gentleman lowered his head and ate noodles, saying: "It's because Fang Yan is good-looking----"
At this moment, the glass door of the noodle shop was pushed open from the outside. Several tall men came over. The bald man in the lead saw Bai Jie standing next to Fang Yan and laughing, his eyes immediately lit up and he shouted: "Bai Jie, brother wants to eat your bottom today------"
As soon as this sentence came out, the group of men laughed unscrupulously. (To be continued)
