To be honest, in Li An's impression, Zhang Xinrui was indeed very beautiful. In terms of appearance, she was only slightly inferior to Liu Shishi.
Among them, there was no lack of the effect of Li An's "lover" being a beauty. It was precisely because Li An was focused on his goddess that he did not take a beauty like Zhang Xinrui seriously.
Now that Li An recalled it, the two of them were both school belles, but their styles were different. If Liu Shishi was the artistic type, Zhang Xinrui was the cute type.
"I remember that Xinrui is only in her third year of high school," Li An hesitated. Zhang Xinrui was two years younger than him and a year younger, so she should be about to enter her third year of high school now.
What was even stranger was that he did not remember this happening in his previous life. Otherwise, he would have some impression of it. However, there were so many butterfly effects, so it did not matter. Li An was not surprised.
"That's why I said next year!" Auntie Zhang also knew that she could not delay her daughter's entrance to university at this moment, but she still smiled and said, "I'll let her enter East River University next year. Even if the two of you can't be together, help me take care of her."
"Err, Auntie, it's only right to take care of her. However, we're still young, so we should…" Li An still suspected that Auntie Zhang was baiting or had been instructed by his parents.
"Damn, I'm very open-minded. I won't care about her when she's an adult. If she wants to find a partner, let her. Otherwise, it's the same if she finds a partner behind my back." Auntie Zhang said with a smile, "Ah Da, I've seen you grow up. I'm assured of your character, so I want you to keep an eye on her. In any case, the two of you have each other's WeChat numbers. Chat when you're free!"
Good lord, good things should not be given to outsiders, right?
Li An was filled with doubts, but on the surface, he still agreed to take care of her. As for their marriage, he replied ambiguously.
He had heard his mother gossip in the past that Auntie Zhang was also a pitiful person. When she was young, she met a bad person who was a gambling scumbag. After they got married, he still could not quit gambling. He lost all the money in the family and was even in debt.
Then, when Aunt Zhang was pregnant, this scumbag ran away.
Auntie Zhang opened this small shop with her parents' savings later on and had been running it until now. She had also raised Zhang Xinrui. The surrounding families knew that it was not easy for Auntie Zhang, so they usually came here to buy anything that they needed.
Li An was thinking about something. When he arrived at his house and saw the BMW parked by the roadside, he suddenly understood why this had not happened in his previous life…
This world was really realistic!
Li An thought to himself and returned home. Then, he did not stop looking at the old braised food in his kitchen.
This pot of braised food was also the foundation of Li's Braised Food Shop. It had been braised for more than ten years and had to be boiled once a day. The more braised it was, the more fragrant it would be. Li Jianguo had once said that he would not sell this pot of braised soup for a million yuan.
Li An chuckled because his mother promised to sell it at a discount after hearing this.
He looked at the gas stove while scrolling through his phone. He scrolled through his Weibo Moments, afraid to miss an option. However, it was obvious that today was not the day.
When it was almost time to eat, Li's Braised Food Shop closed. Li An remembered that it used to be open until seven or eight in the past. It seemed that his parents had indeed taken it easy. Li An was deeply relieved.
On the table for dinner was a plate of braised beef, a stack of stir-fried vegetables, and a portion of green pepper shredded meat. The next two dishes were basically finished, but the braised beef was not touched.
It was not that the taste was bad, but that after eating it for more than ten years, they were tired of it no matter how delicious it was.
After dinner, the three of them walked around the streets before returning home to watch television. At nine o'clock, they washed up and went to bed.
The second floor of the shop was the bedroom. The entire bedroom was not big, and Li An's room was even smaller… It could not even be said to be a room. It was just that the bedroom was separated by a wall with a wooden plank. Li An slept in the small partition. He only slept elsewhere when he went to East River to study in junior high and started to stay there.
To the current Li An, it had been many years since he slept on this small bed. He missed it.
The night passed uneventfully.
Due to the fact that the braised food shop was by the side of the road, it was quite noisy every morning. Cars were already coming and going before 6 AM. When the large truck drove past, one could feel the entire house shaking.
However, in such a noisy environment, Li An slept especially well. He slept until nearly 10 AM before slowly opening his eyes.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to turn on his phone to collect energy in the game, although there was definitely not much left.
However, when he opened his phone, he discovered that he seemed to have been crazily tagged in the class group chat dozens of times.
Li An opened WeChat curiously and discovered that there were nearly 200 unread messages in the class group.
He entered the group and clicked the upward arrow to see the initial message.
Li Ran: Damn, Li An and Liu Shishi are famous!
Li Ran: They're on the trending topic!
Li Ran: The title is "I encountered a debate between two gods when I was eating today…"
At first, Li An was at a loss. What was there to be trending about with Liu Shishi? Then, he saw the link that was forwarded.
Debate…
Could he have been filmed?
Li An opened the link and jumped to Weibo. After opening the video, it was shocking to see the two of them arguing "intensely" in the New Nam Kee restaurant.
From the perspective of a third party, it felt a little strange. In a sense, he and Liu Shishi seemed to be especially "harmonious".
The video started midway. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have reached the climax. Li An stood up and sat beside Liu Shishi.
From this angle, the two of them felt like their heads were about to touch. It was as if they were arguing as a couple, and it looked a little intimate.
There were especially many comments on the video.
"This beauty is so beautiful!"
"Damn, this temperament, this appearance, I love it!"
"I think I'm a fake university student…"
"Can someone translate for me? Are they fighting over something?"
"They're clearly all speaking Chinese, but why can't I understand what they're saying?"
"These two people are so loving. They're a couple, right?"
"If they aren't a couple, I will eat three kilograms of feces."
"Why are there always people trying to get free food?"
"With this level of proficiency, I'm afraid even a language teacher is not that impressive!"
"I'm kneeling in front of the two big shots!"
"Aren't these two too compatible?"
"Please register your marriage on the spot!"
"Come, let's celebrate their wedding!"
"Are the qualities of university students so high now? Are we living on the same Earth? I'm trembling."
"You're not alone. The cultural background of these two really subverted my understanding."
...
At the end, when Liu Shishi was angry and Li An helplessly touched his head, the comments reached another climax.
"Girls are so cute when they throw a tantrum!"
"Damn, isn't this too extreme?"
"This kid's smile is so doting!"
"Ah, why am I smiling so happily?"
"Don't run, I'm coming with the Civil Affairs Bureau!"
"I have to say that these two are really compatible!"
