644 The Taste of Stinky Tofu
644 The taste of stinky tofu
The side door of Qingzhou Art Academy came in and walked straight and turned right, then went up avenue with sycamore trees on both sides. The tree canopy was held high, spread its arms, closed it, and protected the entire road under itself. The dim but warm light from the street lights sprinkled down softly, adding a layer of quiet wrapping to the tree-lined avenue.
Jiang Zhihan glanced around while walking. Finally, he found that a girl was standing twenty or thirty meters in front of him, surrounded by a big tree, looking particularly petite.
A few seconds later, the girl also saw him. She did not come over, but turned around and searched for something, as if there were thousands of troops behind her.
Jiang Zhihan walked up to her and greeted, "Hey."
The girl was a little timid, "Didn't delay you..."
Jiang Zhihan laughed, "The serious business has not been delayed, but he only ate half of the meal..."
Cheng Zhen yelled, her little face turned red. After a while, she said, "But... our cafeteria is closed..." Suddenly, she remembered something, and she looked up at him, "Why... I... invite you to our food stall outside the school?"
Jiang Zhihan gave her a relaxed smile, "That's a good relationship."
The two walked forward side by side under the street lights, and involuntarily, Cheng Zhen turned his head and scanned the surrounding environment with a little vigilance.
Jiang Zhihan felt a lot of pity in his heart. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid."
Cheng Zhen shook his body, and the man just patted her gently and withdrew his hand, but there seemed to be a little touch on his shoulder.
Jiang Zhihan said softly: "I didn't expect them to come to you again. Are they still those two guys?"
Cheng Zhen replied: "No, he is a man wearing glasses. He also asked you and asked you what your origin is, but I didn't tell him."
Jiang Zhihan looked at him with a smile, "Do you know?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, but her face turned redder. After a while, she couldn't help but sniff and laughed out loud. At that moment, it seemed as if the cereals of the summer night were blooming silently, and even in the darkness of the night, it was hard to hide its dazzling charm.
For some reason, when he smiled, the distance between the two seemed to be much closer. Cheng Zhen walked beside him, feeling relaxed and natural, and his body was no longer so stiff.
She said, "He also invited me to play the violin at their villa, but I shirked. He asked me why, but I really couldn't think of any other reason, so I said that my homework is too tight now and I no longer go out to play the violin." She secretly glanced at Jiang Zhihan, and she said, "I went there that night, which was introduced by a friend. He told me that the people who went there were all well-known people and there would be no danger."
Jiang Zhihan smiled, "The people with good standing are the most dangerous."
The girl chuckled again.
Jiang Zhihan looked at her, "Is it funny?...I'm serious."
The girl pouted, "Aren't you... one of them too?"
Jiang Zhihan smiled, "I am a good person who is mixed with the bad guys."
Cheng Zhen pursed her mouth and didn't say anything. She lowered her head, as if she looked at her toes, followed him step by step, completely forgetting that she should be the person who led the way.
Jiang Zhihan asked her, "Then you rejected him, didn't he say anything?"
Cheng Zhen said: "He asked me to consider it again, saying that the conditions were very good, and then left a business card. Before leaving, he told me that if I see you and know your contact information, don't forget to tell him, he will apologize to you in person."
The girl paused and said, "I don't believe them."
Jiang Zhihan looked at her, "Are you worried that they will come to you again?"
The girl nodded, "I just said that my surname was Cheng at that time, but I didn't expect that they could actually come to the school."
Jiang Zhihan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to them and make sure they won't come to the school to harass you again."
The girl stopped and said anxiously, "Don't go." Seeing Jiang Zhihan staring at her, she suddenly felt a little panicked. She added with some concealment: "I made it clear to him, he shouldn't come to me again."
Jiang Zhihan looked at her, and her clear eyes could not hide her worries, anxiety, and tenderness. She felt a little sad, and he said to her with certainty: "This is the end of this... Really, you don't have to worry, they won't show up again."
The snack stall outside Qingzhou Art School is somewhat similar to the one next to Qingda, including an active tool cart, a few plastic tables, and a circle of small chairs. Perhaps because it is not the peak time, the stall is empty and there is not a single diner.
Cheng Zhen looked up at Jiang Zhihan, "The pancakes and stinky tofu sold here are the best on these streets."
She was obviously an old customer, and the boss greeted him with a smile on his face when he saw it.
Cheng Zhen looked at Jiang Zhihan and was a little cautious, "Can you eat it?"
Jiang Zhihan said: "I love pancakes, but stinky tofu, so I'll save it..."
The two sat down and ordered a bowl of oil tea, two portions of pancake fruit, and two portions of stinky tofu. Jiang Zhihan had always been as fast as the wind and fire when he ate. After a while, he swept all the oil tea and pancake fruit, which tasted really good.
Cheng Zhen slowly and lady-likely ate her pancake fruits, and only half of it was done. The stinky tofu came up, and it was still steaming.
Jiang Zhihan shook his hand, "Why did I order two servings? I won't eat it..."
Surprisingly, the girl insisted, "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Zhihan shook his head.
She asked, "I haven't eaten it once?"
Jiang Zhihan shook his head.
Cheng Zhen advised him, "It's really delicious, why not try it?"
Jiang Zhihan was a little surprised at the shy girl's persistence in stinky tofu. He smiled and said, "There are so many delicious foods in the world. I will know that this guy is not good if I smell it."
Cheng Zhen looked at him and slowly smiled, "It's really delicious, it's a rare delicacy." She was a little anxious, as if she wanted to convince him.
Jiang Zhihan sat on a simple plastic bench. The girl who was close to her was tied with a hairband, her eyes were like morning stars, her eyebrows were as light as dark as dark, her smile on her face was innocent, and she had an indescribable seriousness and cuteness.
His eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, closed his eyes, frowned, and made a very painful look, "Then... just try one?"
The girl was amused by his exaggerated expression, giggled twice, and said softly: "Close your eyes, don't feed it inside your nose." It was barely the first joke I had ever met.
As if the chopsticks weighed a thousand pounds, Jiang Zhihan picked up a piece of stinky tofu and approached his mouth in slow motion. He sniffed, revealing a bitter face. After hesitating for several times, he finally slowly put it into his mouth, chewed a small mouth carefully, and breathed out, as if he had just trekked through the death zone and finally returned to the world alive.
It took him a long time to open his eyes and pat his chest, "It's okay, it's okay... It's not as terrible as I imagined, but it can't be called a delicious food on earth."
Cheng Zhen looked at him calmly and finally laughed out loud, "Do you especially like watching that pantomime to eat chicken?"
Jiang Zhihan pointed at her, "Smart..."
The girl looked at him with a smile, "Try another one."
Cheng Zhen's persistence and preference for stinky tofu made Jiang Zhihan laugh and cry. However, he still obediently picked up a piece of stinky tofu and slowly put it in his mouth to taste it.
After a long time, looking at the expectant look of the girl opposite, he nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's better than the first one."
The girl gave him a smile. At that moment, the previous worries seemed to have disappeared, and all the rest were gentle moonlight and the man smiling under the moonlight.
