Ji Guanxin got off the plane with Lu Yao, left the airport in a low-key manner, took a taxi and went to the place she said. in the car. Lu Yao said: "When I went home last year, I heard from my dad that that area should have been demolished, and the breakfast shop is probably gone long ago."
Ji Guanxin said: "We have gone back to the Northeast. What are you afraid of? Just find any store here. They will have the dumpling flavor you want to eat."
Lu Yao glanced at Ji Guanxin and whispered: "You have traveled so far just to eat dumplings. You are really luxurious."
Ji Guanxin took her hand and replied with a smile: "I said it. Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you."
Some people say things like this. That's just talk. But Ji Guanxin did what he said, and he had the capital to say it.
Lu Yao felt that she might be corrupt, otherwise why would she be so happy in her heart.
The car drove for more than an hour. Just entered the city from the airport. We arrived at the place Lu Yao mentioned. really. The original bungalows have become half-height buildings. Lu Yao said disappointedly: "It's really gone."
Ji Guanxin pulled her out of the car and started wandering nearby. In fact, it is said to be relocation. But there are some businesses that have not been moved out in this area. Ji Guanxin asked Lu Yao: "Do you remember the name of that store?"
Lu Yao didn't even think about it. He opened his mouth and replied: "Heaven and Earth Garden."
Ji Guanxin took her hand and walked to the door of a small, not even a supermarket, but at most a grocery store. He bought two bottles of drinks and asked the boss on the way: "Excuse me, there used to be a breakfast shop called Tiandiyuan here. Has it been moved? Or is it no longer open?"
Lu Yao didn't expect that the boss actually knew. He replied aloud: "They have moved away. If I remember correctly, it should be on Hong'an Street. I don't know the specific location."
Ji Guanxin thanked him, and then took Lu Yao's hand to take a taxi on the street.
Lu Yao turned her head to look at him, unable to conceal her joy and said, "How did you guess that the boss here would know?"
Ji Guanxin said: "This area is full of old houses, and they are probably all old neighbors. If you ask a few more houses, maybe someone will know about them. I will try my luck."
Lu Yao was happy in her heart, but she said: "You really admit to eating."
Ji Guanxin glanced at her, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "You white-eyed wolf, who said you want to eat Northeastern dumplings?"
Lu Yao said: "I just said it casually."
Ji Guanxin said: "Don't say anything casually in front of me in the future. I will take everything you say seriously."
Lu Yao whispered, but didn't answer.
We took a taxi to Wang'an Street and told the driver to look for Tiandi Garden. The driver drove them directly to the entrance of the store. After getting off the car, Lu Yao looked at the big sign in front of her and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. The brand has grown up, but it still feels familiar from childhood.
The two of them walked into the store. Because it was not lunch time, there was no one in the store. The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao walking in, especially when he looked at Ji Guanxin with an ambiguous and hesitant expression.
I thought that I just saw these two people on Weibo. It would be such a coincidence that they appeared in their store, right
Thinking about it, the waiter asked aloud: "Are you two?"
Lu Yao responded, and the waiter took them to a seat by the window. Ji Guanxin took off the sunglasses on his face. The waitress next to him immediately widened his eyes and almost took a breath.
Lu Yao held back her laughter and stared at Ji Guanxin with her big dark eyes.
Ji Guanxin looked calm. He picked up the order book on the table and said to her: "You have finally found the dumpling restaurant of your childhood. Come on, eat whatever you want, be more energetic."
Lu Yao also took a look at the order book. When she was a child, this shop only sold breakfast, with steamed buns, dumplings, and porridge. Nowadays, various dishes are written neatly on the menu, and there are still dumplings with various fillings on the back.
"I want to eat pickled cabbage stuffing." Lu Yao said.
Ji Guanxin said 'hmm': "Then I want sauerkraut stuffing."
The waiter next to him stared directly at Ji Guanxin's face, suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart, his voice softened a bit, and asked: "How many do you want for two people? Our plate is twelve, you can also weigh it. Sell."
Ji Guanxin looked at Lu Yao, and Lu Yao asked the waiter: "Can we try a few of them together?"
The waiter said: "Okay, what kind of stuffing do you want?"
Lu Yao glanced at it and ordered sauerkraut, leeks, eggs, three delicacies and chicken and mushroom fillings.
When ordering, Lu Yao also ordered a few of Ji Guanxin's favorite dishes according to Ji Guanxin's taste.
The waiter turned and left to place an order. Lu Yao took a teapot and poured water for Ji Guanxin. Ji Guanxin sat opposite her, holding his chin and looking at her.
Lu Yao felt embarrassed for him to look at her, so she asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"
Ji Guanxin raised his lips and smiled, and replied bluntly: "Why are you so good-looking?"
Lu Yao couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Why are you so superficial?"
The corners of Ji Guanxin's lips curved even more, and he replied with a smile: "I'll be honest, why don't you let people tell you how good-looking you are?"
Lu Yao said: "If I were shabby, you wouldn't like me?"
Ji Guanxin said: "As expected, in the land of my hometown, the dialect is very smooth."
Usually when he was in Night City, he rarely heard her speak her hometown dialect.
Lu Yao said: "Don't change the subject. If I look ugly, you won't like me?"
Ji Guanxin was not stupid either. He didn't answer and asked instead: "If I grow up to be very grown-up and I'm sorry for my motherland, will you still like me?"
Lu Yao's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she replied with a serious expression: "Of course I don't like it."
Ji Guanxin was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Is it so realistic?"
Lu Yao suppressed a smile and nodded: "Yes, I am very realistic. Because you are good-looking and rich, that's why I am with you."
Ji Guanxin picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then nodded thoughtfully and said aloud: "I'm relieved about this."
Lu Yao looked at him and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Ji Guanxin replied seriously: "I'm good-looking, I'm rich, and I can still spoil you. From now on, just stay by my side honestly. If you like me, you won't suffer."
Lu Yao was really convinced. He was really good at showing off his tricks. Originally, she planned to unite him, but in the end, he was defeated.
While the two were talking, they could only hear a low whisper not far away, and there was still excitement in it. When he turned around, he saw that it was the waiter just now and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. The two of them were looking at them, looking like they wanted to come over but didn't dare to come over.
Seeing that Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin had discovered them, they came over with red faces. Among them, the young girl held a pen and paper, with a shy smile on her face, and tentatively said: "Well, excuse me, can you please sign Mr. Ji's autograph for me?"
Lu Yao had seen Ji Guanxin's relationship with women before, not a star, but better than a star.
Ji Guanxin smiled helplessly, and replied loudly: "I'm not a famous person, why do you want my autograph?"
The little girl's face turned redder when she saw Ji Guanxin talking to her. With the letter paper hidden under her nose, she said sheepishly: "All the girls in our class like you and use your photo as a screensaver."
Ji Guanxin smiled lightly and said, "I'm not a celebrity, so I won't give you an autograph. Who else do you like? I'll send you a signed photo later."
The little girl immediately widened her eyes and asked excitedly: "Really?"
Ji Guanxin nodded.
While they were talking, the landlady personally brought two plates of dumplings over. Seeing the person talking, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Xingxing, go back and do your homework quickly. Don't delay others here."
Lu Yao recognized the proprietress almost at a glance, and with the words "Xingxing" in her mouth, she said in surprise: "The stars have grown so big?"
When Lu Yao opened her mouth, the proprietress could look at her squarely. The two looked at each other, and the landlady looked familiar, but she still said: "Looks familiar..."
Lu Yao smiled and replied: "Auntie, don't you remember? When I was a child, I went to school in Xinxing and came to your house for breakfast almost every morning. Do you still remember the twenty-six dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage?"
The woman opened her mouth. After a few seconds, she suddenly realized and said, "Lu... Yaoyao, right?"
Lu Yao nodded and responded: "It's me."
The woman's face was full of surprise, and she said with a smile: "I wonder why she looks so familiar. I haven't seen her for many years. She has grown into a big girl. I can't even recognize her when I walk on the road."
Lu Yao said: "When you called Xingxing, I remembered that she was only three or four years old when I was in elementary school."
The woman said, "That's right. You've all grown up so fast." After saying that, she glanced at Ji Guanxin and then said, "Boyfriend?"
Lu Yao smiled and nodded. Xingxing looked at Ji Guanxin, then at Lu Yao, and jumped up happily. The woman reached out and hit her on the back, telling her to be honest.
Xingxing said: "I didn't expect that I could meet celebrities. I'm so excited!"
It is said that meeting old friends in a foreign country is very touching. In fact, sometimes meeting old friends in the hometown makes people feel even more warm.
Lu Yao asked Ji Guanxin to sign Xingxing's name and wrote a message wishing her good luck in the college entrance examination. Xingxing saw that Lu Yao was easy to talk to and asked for her phone number. Lu Yao gave it to her openly.
When it came time to pay the bill, the landlady refused to accept the payment and insisted on inviting the two of them. Neither Lu Yao nor Ji Guanxin agreed, so they casually gave a round number.
After leaving the hotel, the two held hands on the street. Ji Guanxin saw that Lu Yao was always in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "You will be happy in the future. I want to see you smile."
Hearing this, Lu Yao turned her head and looked at Ji Guanxin. She smiled and replied, "Thank you."
Ji Guanxin said: "So polite? Then you might as well give me some compensation directly."
Looking at the evil and sycophantic look in his eyes, she also knew that he had no good intentions. The two of them had their fingers intertwined, and she suddenly pinched him hard. Ji Guanxin never expected that her hands would have such strength. He frowned and even let out an "ah" when she pinched him.
The smile on Lu Yao's face widened and she laughed at him: "Nothing to show for it!"
