Name:The Cherished Old Time Author:
He lets you eat this?

"Why isn't he here yet?!" Shang Hui's brows were knitted tightly, and the hand that was holding onto the steering wheel unconsciously tightened. He could not relax even for a moment, as he was surrounded by students who had just finished their lesson.

Upon seeing the familiar signboard, Yu Meng heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Meng picked a clean table to sit at and waved towards Shang Hui.

"Over here!"

When Shang Hui walked over to Yu Meng, his arm was struck by someone. His face immediately tensed up, seeing that something was wrong, Yu Meng immediately rushed over and pulled Shang Hui's hand, bringing him back to his seat.

"He bumped into you on purpose, what is he trying to do with that fiendish expression?"

Shang Hui's face was cold, although he was seated on a chair, his hands refused to touch the table.

Yu Meng looked at his awkward appearance and laughed. "Are you still trying to be brave?" She smiled and asked him, "It's too late to regret. We can stop eating now."

Shang Hui raised his eyebrows: "Don't be so long-winded, order your dishes."

The menu was right on the table. She placed it in front of Shang Hui, indicating him to take a look.

"What do you want to eat?"

Shang Hui's black eyes quickly swept across the menu as the frown on his forehead deepened, "Egg-Fried Rice? Ten dollars? A grain of rice? "

Yu Meng facepalmed, "How can you charge such a high price? It's a bowl of Egg Fried Rice at ten yuan."

"Pound?"

Shang Hui asked in all seriousness. He was obviously serious, there was a couple sitting on the table beside them, they seemed to have heard it, and their heads leaned against each other as they whispered to each other.

"It's RMB …" Yu Meng gritted her teeth and replied, "This is China, who's crazy to use pounds to mark the menu?"

Shang Hui had probably never seen such a cheap Egg Fried Rice before, so he opened his mouth.

Yu Meng quickly interrupted him.

"You're not allowed to ask if it's something human can eat. The places I'll bring you to, are all places that human can eat."

Yu Meng ordered her mother's Egg Fried Rice. She used to like that taste the most.

"What do you want?"

Shang Hui looked at them for a long time, as if it was difficult for him to choose one of them for himself.

Seeing the pain on his face, Yu Meng couldn't help but laugh as she teased him.

"What, you don't recognize words? Do you want me to read it to you? "

"Yu Meng, I think you're desperate." He glared at her, then snapped back, "Same as yours."

"Boss, two servings of Mother Fried Rice!"

"Alright!"

Bean sprouts, eggs, and rice were poured onto the metal plate, making a sizzling sound. Yu Meng breathed in deeply, and she could smell the fragrance of the fried rice. It was especially fragrant.

Seeing Yu Meng enjoy it so much, Shang Hui frowned. He followed her actions and tried it out.

Take a deep breath …

When Shang Hui took a deep breath, he was just in time for the boss to pour some Old Qian Ma chili onto the metal plate.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough …"

Shang Hui took a deep breath, choking his pants as he coughed.

He felt that Yu Meng wasn't a normal person.

"You …" Yu Meng held back her laughter and walked over to help Shang Hui carry the water on his back.

Shang Hui looked up and saw the soft plastic cup in Yu Meng's hands. Inside the cup, there was still some white precipitate.

He almost vomited.

"This is just water filth..." Yu Meng didn't force him, she put down the cup of water and said, "Any water boiled in the kettle will at least have a little water filth."

While they were talking, the Egg Fried Rice was ready. When the two big plates were served, hot steam was drifting about.

The spoon was inserted into the top of the plate of Egg Fried Rice. On the metal handle of the spoon, the boss's handprint was still left behind.

Shang Hui collapsed to the point where he almost couldn't breathe.

He watched Yu Meng take one mouthful after another, eating the spicy and scaly cup in one gulp. She seemed to be enjoying the food, blending in with the bustling city, the street, and everything else around.

Shang Hui watched in silence, a little unwilling to disturb his, but he had to say it out loud.

"This thing is too unhygienic."

Yu Meng's lips were red, she waved her hand by the side and looked at Shang Hui as she nodded.

"I know."

"Then why are you still eating?"

Shang Hui used a piece of paper to wipe Yu Meng's mouth.

"It's already so spicy, so don't eat it."

"It's precisely because it's so spicy that I like it to eat. It's really great."

Shang Hui did not believe it.

During that time, I lived by myself. At night, I was very lonely in the dorm, but afterwards, I was brought here by my classmates for a meal. I felt that it was particularly noisy around here, and the more noisy it was, the more comfortable I felt.

Shang Hui cursed her in a low voice: "You're crazy."

Yu Meng smiled and took another big bite.

Shang Hui didn't move from the beginning until the end. There were several times when he wanted to raise his hand and try, but in the end, he was unable to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Seeing Shang Hui's conflicted expression, Yu Meng scooped up a spoonful of fried rice and brought it to his mouth.

"They're already here. Are you sure you don't want to try?"

Shang Hui's cold eyes slowly revealed a trace of emotion.

After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Yu Meng waited for Shang Hui's reply. Seeing his increasingly ugly expression, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"I'm truly foolish. How could I hope that you would find this kind of thing delicious?"

Shang Hui looked at Yu Meng's drooping eyelids, and forced himself to swallow the plate of fried rice. Then, he scooped up another spoonful of the rice and fed it into his mouth.

Yu Meng looked at Shang Hui and finally smiled happily.

This was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. It was a smile that truly did not contain a single trace of ridicule.

"Life is like this. There are climax, there are low valleys. What's wrong with fried rice? It's good to be able to fill one's stomach."

Shang Hui was a little unable to understand.

"I could have given you something even better, why do you still feel wronged?"

"Didn't I already say that I'm not feeling wronged?" Yu Meng sighed, "Why is it that things that you don't like become self-aggrieved when compared to others?"

"Don't always look at things from such a high vantage point."

Shang Hui was slightly startled.

"That's not what I meant."

"I know." Yu Meng gently smiled. "Thank you for accompanying me today."

As Yu Meng spoke, she looked at the half-eaten Egg Fried Rice on the table.

"You think this is the most unswallowing food you've ever seen, but you know what? I've eaten something even more exaggerated than this."

Shang Hui frowned: "What is that?"

"Wild vegetables, rabbit meat that has not been stripped clean and so on …"

Shang Hui found it hard to imagine, "Why would you eat that kind of thing?"

"I've been in the Sri Lanka before." Yu Meng laughed, "At that time, it was very difficult to even live. Forget about filling our stomachs, there would occasionally be hunters selling roasted rabbits in the town. That was the best meat we could eat, even though it was dirty, covered in fur, and sometimes we couldn't even get rid of all our internal organs …" But in the end, she still came over. "

Shang Hui did not say a word as he stood by Yu Meng's side looking at him. Under the dim light, his skin was so white that it was flawless, and his eyes were deep and soft.

Yu Meng wiped her mouth with a tissue, still smiling.

"I have never regretted what I experienced, and I am no longer afraid to recall the events of those years. When I returned from Sri Lanka, I also suffered from the aftereffects of war. I was afraid of noise, fear of fire, fear of people, fear of the night, fear of everything in the world. Yu Meng took a deep breath and continued slowly, "Later on, when I was completely fine, I finally felt relieved. The reason we were able to feel this world's emotions was because we had experienced pain before. That's why it was more exquisite, softer, and understood the value of life."

His black eyes seemed to be even deeper than the stars in the sky behind her, as if they had sunk into something at the same time, something that was calm and profound, like a sea of stars, wrapping around her.

Being stared at like that made Yu Meng even more embarrassed.

She waved her hand. "Aiya, why are you saying all this to me?"

"I like to hear that." Shang Hui said indifferently, but his gaze was extremely serious.

"It's gone, it's gone." Yu Meng stood up and pulled Shang Hui.

"Alright, let's go."

Shang Hui followed behind Yu Meng until the two of them got into the car. After they fastened their seat belts and started the engine, Shang Hui suddenly turned to look at Yu Meng.

"I'm starting to envy Tan Yubai again."

"Rumble", the sound of the engine covered Shang Hui's last few words of deliberately lowered volume. Yu Meng did not hear it clearly and asked: "What?"

Shang Hui did not reply, stepped on the gas pedal and sped off.

He was extremely envious of Tan Yubai.

From green onions to adults, from climax to trough, all of this had been in the hands of that man.

Damn, why did he meet her so late?

When she returned home, it was already very late. After being tired for the entire day, Yu Meng's waist and legs were aching. When she returned home, the first thing Shang Hui did was take a bath.

He really disliked today's trip.

While Shang Hui was in the bathroom, his home phone kept ringing.

Very few people knew of Shang Hui's home phone number, other than his best friend, he only had dreams.

Yu Meng didn't think too much into it. She thought it was Shang Hui's friend and picked it up.

"Hello, who is this?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Yu Meng frowned and waited patiently for a while. She couldn't help but ask again, "Is someone listening …"

"Let Shang Hui answer the phone."

This voice was frighteningly cold. Yu Meng had never heard such a voice before. It was oppressive, low, and threatening to push her back.

Yu Meng was stunned for a moment before replying politely.

"He's taking a bath. "If not..."

Before Yu Meng could finish, the call ended.

"Du, du, du, du." The sound of the busy chants caused Yu Meng to feel uneasy.

Who was this person? It was as if among the people that Yu Meng knew, no one dared to call Shang Hui by his name, either CEO Shang or Brother Hui. Only Yu Meng dared to call Shang Hui by her name.
