After Luo Yunzhi and Mika entered the porridge shop, she ordered a bowl of Cantonese rice porridge, while Luo Yunzhi ordered a bowl of seafood porridge.
The first one to come up was a wide style rice porridge. The rice grains melted in his mouth and were very fragrant. As Mika drank the porridge, a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her whole body felt warm and comfortable. Luo Yun's bowl of porridge was placed under the light. Because it was adorned with shrimp and vegetables, it looked very nice under the light.
If one did not take a closer look, this room did not seem like a shop at all. It seemed more like a house with four small tables inside and out, but it was filled with nearly twenty customers who had come to eat congee.
Mika couldn't help but look towards Luo Yun, "I didn't think you could find such a remote place, and the porridge is so delicious."
Luo Yunzhi only smiled, not saying a word. Not long after, he saw the boss enter the restaurant. The customers around him seemed to be very familiar with him, and they all raised their heads to greet him. When Mika heard that everyone called him "Old Li," it seemed that the congee was named after him, which was quite casual.
However, this Old Li seemed to be in his thirties, at most two years older than Luo Yun. He was called "Old Li." If he hadn't seen this person, he would have thought he was in his fifties or sixties.
His hair was simple and refreshing. He was dressed in a sports attire with a scar on his neck. However, he was not very eye-catching. His figure was very strong and strong. He did not look like the boss of a porridge shop, but more like a fitness instructor. However, there was a trace of elegance in his demeanor and speech, which was intriguing.
After greeting the crowd, he walked towards Luo Yunzhi with a smile on his face. Looking in the direction of Luo Yunzhi and Mika, he jokingly said, "Oh, so you've come. This is the first time I've seen you bring a girl."
Luo Yunzhi smiled and glanced at Mika out of the corner of his eye. "You talk too much."
Fortunately, Mika was too busy eating porridge to pay much attention to their conversation.
Originally, she didn't feel that she was that hungry, but the congee suddenly made her appetite grow. She couldn't help but order another bowl of porridge. The egg was stewed into the rice grains and was still savoring it. Her face had originally been somewhat pale, but after two bowls of porridge, her face was flushed red and her smile was sweet as she continuously praised the porridge.
Old Li was beaming with joy as he stood at the side, "This young lady really knows how to eat. Not bad, not bad at all."
Luo Yunzhi couldn't help but spit at him, "You're really a hypocrite. If you praise someone as good as you, then you might as well say that they're not bad."
Old Li became serious, "When did I misjudge others? I just feel that this young lady is a good person, a good person, don't bully her. "
When Mika saw them bickering, she couldn't help but be amused. She then saw Luo Yun put down his spoon and said, "Hey hey hey, you don't even know his name. You only know about the little miss, and you know he's a good person?"
Old Li scoffed, "When did I praise someone so casually? Do you think I'm like you? I haven't even been in a relationship for a long time. I said this young lady has a good heart and a good heart, that's absolutely correct. "
Immediately, he started talking to Mika, "What is the surname of this lady? Why don't we be friends? My name is Li Yue, and you can acknowledge me as your big brother.
Before Luo Yun could stop her, Mika was attracted by the sincerity in Old Li's words. Coupled with the personality of someone who liked to make friends abroad, she immediately agreed, "Okay, Big Brother Li, nice to meet you. My name is Qiu Shitong, my English name is Mika, you can call me Mika, or Shitong. Poetry is poetry, and Tong is the one who describes the red word Pill and the three verses. "
"Your name is not bad, I'll call you Little Tong." Old Li seemed to be very happy, and then he looked at Luo Yun, not forgetting to add another sentence: "In the future, if you are allowed to bully you, come and tell me, big brother will help you vent your anger!"
Luo Yun Zhi laughed, "Why do you sound like I'm a fiend?" Old Li patted his shoulder, "You got lucky today. For Little Tong's sake, I'll be treating you to this porridge."
"You're so stingy," Luo Yun said as his smile became even wider. "I'll call you big brother straight away. Do you really have the nerve to let me go with a bowl of porridge?"
Old Li laughed, "Brat, you really know how to take advantage of others!" Although he said this, he took off a string of Bodhi Buddha beads from his right wrist and said, "I invited this to Mount Potala last year." Then, before Mika could reply, he helped her put it on. She refused to take it, but Luoyang sternly said, "Don't be stupid, I'll give it to you as a gift."
This kind of tone that sounded like it was used to educate a child surprised Mika, but it was indeed hard to refuse Old Li, and it was also inappropriate to reject him. Looking at the buddhist beads again, they didn't seem to be very valuable, so she accepted them, not forgetting to thank Old Li repeatedly.
However, she still felt it was a little too big, so she said, "I'll help you store it." His fingers were long and slender, but his skin was different from Ling Yiheng's fair skin. Like his cheek, it was the color of healthy wheat, and the warmth of his fingertips was warm.
Because the rope was very thin, he leaned over her, very close.
Mika shivered. She smelled the refreshing licorice on his body, and the smell of the porridge. Her breath was light and warm, and it tickled under her chin.
She did not expect the two of them to be so close. Her face immediately flushed red as she hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."
But his hands were ready and his body had moved away. She noticed that he had tied the knot meticulously and beautifully. She didn't expect him to be so manly.
On the way back, Luo Yunzhi told her that Old Li was a friend of Ling Yiheng. He was introduced to him by Ling Yiheng, and they had become familiar with each other over the years. It had been almost ten years since then, and the three of them were good brothers.
Only then did Mika realize that Ling Yiheng's friends were not simple people. Each of them was outstanding and their conversation was extraordinary. Although she did not know Old Li's identity, she could guess that he was not ordinary and could not help but praise him while he was in the car.
Luo Yunzhi raised his thick eyebrows and said, "You have a good eye."
As they approached her house, they noticed that she seemed to have become somewhat depressed.
He wanted to ask her a question, but she asked him first, "Brother Luo, do you have a girlfriend?"
Her voice was rather soft in the night wind, but Luo Yun could still hear it clearly.
The knife-sharp facial features seemed to soften at this moment. His eyes blinked as he glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He then said, "No."
"No? You seem quite old, don't you? Did you not have it or did you break up? " asked Mika, looking at his profile with interest, as if she had suddenly become interested.
Luoyang's car turned a corner and arrived at the traffic light. He turned his head and looked at her with a smile. "Do you think I'm old?"
"I... I didn't say that. " "No," said Mika quickly, but her stuttering manner betrayed what she was thinking.
"I'm two years older than Yi Heng. I'm 33 years old this year, so I shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" He stroked the beard on his chin, thinking maybe he should shave it off.
Mika's eyes widened, as if she hadn't expected him to be so young. She thought he must be at least thirty-seven or eight, but she didn't want to admit that she had misjudged him.
"Then... "She's not young anymore. At your age, she should have a girlfriend." she said, but even she felt it was a little far-fetched.
Luo Yunzhi smiled, "Then I don't have any. Do you want to introduce them to me?"
"Alright, it's best if you're as young and beautiful as you are."
It was obviously a joke, and Mika didn't take it seriously. She just joked, "If I have anything suitable, I'll introduce it to you."
The two of them immediately laughed. They chatted and laughed all the way to her house.
Mika also knew that he had been in love twice, once from high school to college, and then split up because the university wasn't in the same city, and the second time was in the last year of college, but then because he was going to Africa to teach and had been gone for seven years, and because the girlfriend couldn't stand the separation.
He spoke lightly, but Mika felt sorry for him. She had never been immune to love stories. She always felt that a lover should be married off.
"Well, have you ever thought of chasing her back?" she asked, as he stopped the car.
Luo Yunzhi shook his head, "It's not that we have deep feelings for each other. I think we were both young and immature back then, so we were just passing by each other."
Hearing him say so, she finally understood.
Remembering the relationship between him and Ling Yiheng, Mika couldn't help but sigh.
"If there is a person you like a lot but that person already has a place in your heart, will you go and pursue him?" She asked Luo Yun with a trace of melancholy in her eyes.
Luo Yunzhi looked deeply at her, and his gaze fell upon her jade-like face. After a long time, he finally said, "If I had the chance to meet such a person, I would definitely meet him."
"Even if that person didn't like you and even annoyed you to avoid you, would you still go after him?" She pressed him again, and seemed eager.
Luo Yunzhi's eyebrows creased slightly. He hesitated, "I think so. At least give yourself a chance. How would you know the result if you haven't tried it before?"
His words caused Mika to smile again, looking as beautiful as the spring rain, "I understand, thank you, Brother Luo."
Her brisk voice made his throat tighten, reminding him only that it was getting late and telling her to hurry back to bed.
He waited until she had entered the house and turned on the light before starting the engine and leaving her house.
All the way home, his mind was filled with the frown and smile of Mika, and every moment he had spent with her tonight, and the first time he had seen her.
