For Liu Yuewang, self-awareness, inner recognition, and the first impression of others, the age she needed to be was her real age.
The age on the ID card was nothing more than a ridiculous, unrealistic, and ugly number that did not conform to the reality and everyone's understanding under circumstances that were beyond one's control.
Anyone who saw her would not think that she was 36 years old, so the age on the ID card was a lie.
For women, the increase of age was like a death by a thousand cuts. Every night when they dreamt about the age on their identity card, the bone-gnawing fear would make it difficult for them to fall asleep. For a moment, they would even find it hard to believe that they had grown so much. In their memories, they were still just a little girl.
Fortunately, the age on the ID card was a lie, Liu Yuewang thought.
In fact, Liu Yuewang did not object to Liu Changan and An Nuan dating. Although Liu Changan did not look as mature, steady, elegant, and funny as her uncle friend, he was quite good as a student who had just graduated from high school. Moreover, he had mastered the craft of tailoring, which Liu Yuewang admired very much.
A man who knew how to make clothes for the girl he liked was even more touching than knitting gloves and socks for his girlfriend. After all, that kind of handmade cheongsam was really a tight stitch, requiring a lot of energy and expertise. This kind of painstaking work was completely understandable for An Nuan to fall in love with him.
Liu Yuewang couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something about Liu Changan that she couldn't quite put her finger on. There was a sense of familiarity, as if they had met before.
Could it be that he was the boy who went to the locker to get the wishing card when she was hiding in Baolong Central Supermarket that day?
If Liu Changan was the boy, then Liu Changan was the uncle's son. In this case, the situation seemed to be complicated.
Liu Yuewang looked at Liu Changan suspiciously.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" An Nuan immediately noticed.
"I saw someone selling Icy Cold Powder." Liu Yuewang said casually, thinking that the best situation now was that Liu Changan didn't know that his father and "An Nuan" were online friends, and they didn't know that "An Nuan" was actually Liu Yuewang. They didn't have this kind of communication with each other … Of course, who was so free to tell their children about chatting with online friends?
But this uncle … How could this uncle not know that his son's name was Liu Changan? When I chatted with him, I had told him Liu Changan's name. No wonder this uncle always tried his best to defend Liu Changan when I told him that An Nuan wanted to break up with Liu Changan. Even though he occasionally echoed, it seemed more like a perfunctory remark.
What about An Nuan and Liu Changan … What do they know? Liu Yuewang found that her mind was in a mess. This messy change of identity made her confused.
Forget it, why think so much? If there was a chance, she would try to see if Liu Changan was the young man who took the wishing card that day.
"Icy Cold Powder is the best." Han Zhizhi said greedily.
"My mom likes to put wolfberries in her Icy Cold Powder." Zhang Taole said.
"Everyone should eat wolfberries." Liu Changan said.
Liu Yuewang came back to her senses. "I heard that they mix the Icy Cold Powder with foot-washing water. Don't eat it. It's very unhygienic. You might die if you eat it."
"Mom, according to the articles you collected, except for the shallots you planted on the balcony, you have nothing to eat." An Nuan felt unreasonable. Her mother was obviously a high-level intellectual, but she liked to believe what she saw on the Moments, just like the old people of her grandparents' age.
Last time, Liu Yuewang actually forwarded a rumor to An Nuan that if you liked it on the Moments, you would be deducted 80 cents for each like.
An Nuan couldn't delete her mother's post, so she had to block her from the Moments, but she couldn't stop her from sending it directly to her.
"I'd rather believe it than not. I've booked a table tonight. The whole process of the restaurant's kitchen is visible. Every kitchen operator has a camera to record their perspective. I'll watch them cook." Although the price of this restaurant was also very expensive, Liu Yuewang felt it was worth it. She usually didn't eat out.
"Mom Liu, thank you." Zhang Taole didn't know how to be polite, but he was very obedient.
"I know this restaurant. It's very popular! I'm going to have a big meal today! "Han Zhizhi had a special relationship with An Nuan's family. Of course, she only thought about food.
"These restaurants are full of gimmicks. I don't think they are as delicious as Liu Changan's." An Nuan said indifferently.
"If I have the chance, I'll bring some ingredients and use your kitchen. You don't mind, do you?" Liu Changan said to An Nuan.
"Let their little mouths know how amazing you are." An Nuan said with some pride.
Liu Yuewang pursed her lips and thought of the interaction between the male and female protagonists in a romance novel she read yesterday. She looked serious with a blank face.
Liu Changan got off the car at the intersection in front of Baolong Center and slowly walked home. In this hot summer afternoon, he stepped lazily on the hot sun. Liu Changan stretched out his hand to press his cheek, ran his fingers through his hair, and looked up at the sky of the city. Today was really a colorful day.
Compared to the college entrance examination, the most important thing in his mind at this moment was, of course, the Nikola Tesla Research Center. In fact, it was not new for human beings to persist in trying to improve their physical fitness since ancient times. For example, in ancient times, alchemy, Qi training, fasting, sexual intercourse, and so on could all be classified as such. However, most of these methods were really just to strengthen the body and prolong life. To say that there would be a qualitative leap that would allow human beings to surpass their limits and unleash their potential, some modern scientific research was more practical.
These modern scientific research might not be able to prolong people's life, but they could unleash amazing power in a short period of time.
The Oreo brothers were the concrete manifestation of this research direction. What they obtained was a kind of fundamental change. It could be said that they were "new human beings" who had obtained a layer of physical fitness evolution.
The Oreo brothers didn't seem to have any relationship with Mrs. Karnstein. However, to carry out Mrs. Karnstein's mission, they didn't need to know her.
Their level was still too low. A person like Mrs. Karnstein should know more things that Liu Changan wanted to know.
Liu Changan turned his head and glanced at Baolong Center. He bought two crispy ice cream cylinders. In the 90s, this kind of cylinder ice cream was very popular. It was sold for 1.5 yuan, and it was still sold for 1.5 yuan now.
