The Beginning of Autumn had long passed. There was a saying among the people that "the cool wind comes on the third day of the Beginning of Autumn". There was also a saying that it was the Eighteen Days of Earthly Fire. There was also a saying that it was the Tiger of Autumn. In short, the real coolness in Jun Sha was around the White Dew of September.
It was raining today, but it was really cool. After the autumn rain and the cold, the weather would probably clear up tomorrow, and it would be warmer and more comfortable than usual.
Sometimes, when a big typhoon entered the inland and came to the vicinity of Jun Sha, there would be some cool wind and rain, which could also cool down the hot weather. From the point of living in peace, Jun Sha was really a good place.
Liu Changan remembered that in the early 80s and 90s, there was a big river flowing through Jun Sha and it was close to a big lake. Every summer vacation, all kinds of news were about fighting floods, which made people worried. Since the dam upstream was built, no matter how people argued, people in Jun Sha or Xiangnan who were slightly older realized that there was very little news about fighting floods during the summer vacation. No one worried about the rising of the river every year, and the schools didn't need to receive thousands of flood fighters in the playground or gymnasium.
A rain was the self-cleansing of a city. There was always a magical magnetic field in the rain, which made people have a myriad of thoughts.
Liu Changan came back to his senses. When he was with a true friend, the most comfortable feeling was that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if he was in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he would continue the original topic. He never had to be careful if his words were appropriate or unintentionally sarcastic.
It was the same when he was with An Nuan.
"Bai Hui also asked me if we have any arrangements today … I told her seriously that we don't need to deliberately make arrangements. It's fine as long as we are together. When we are together, we will naturally know where to go. But now I really don't know where to go. It feels like I've been slapped in the face." Liu Changan showed a thoughtful and embarrassed expression.
An Nuan didn't have such a feeling. Her plan today was to give a gift to Liu Changan and look forward to the gift that Liu Changan prepared for her. She didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain … or rather, it shouldn't be called a gain. Anyway, she was very happy. As for where to go next, it didn't matter at all. Just as Liu Changan said, it was fine as long as they were together.
But there was another problem … An Nuan became serious, "I think she wants to sabotage us. For example, if we say we are going to watch a movie, she will ask us which movie to watch and where to watch it. Then, when we sit down in the movie theater, a girl with a surprised and surprised face will run over and say, 'Oh, what a coincidence! I also bought the ticket of this movie. Let' Let's sit together."
"Oh, it turns out that girls can make up a story with just one sentence." Liu Changan nodded in admiration.
An Nuan snorted to express her dissatisfaction with Liu Changan's disapproving attitude. As a boy, he definitely wouldn't have thought of it. It was too normal for girls to do this. If Liu Changan and Bai Hui had some activities that they had to participate in together, and An Nuan happened to be free, if she didn't do this, would she lie on the floor at home and roll around anxiously imagining them together? She might as well be a third wheel.
"Then why did she ask you? Doesn't she have a date? Right, Miao Yingying seems to have gone to school. Qian Ning is still in Junsha, and Lu Yuan has also gone to school. But recently, Bai Hui has been hanging out with her cousin a lot. I saw her post on WeChat Moments and WeChat Moments. Her cousin has appeared a lot of times. "An Nuan was still seriously thinking about this problem.
Liu Changan smiled. She really paid attention to others.
"She also came to my WeChat Moments for no reason! Once I saw her peeping into my WeChat Moments, I immediately went to her WeChat Moments and liked them to show that I knew she had been here. And guess what happened? She opened a yellow diamond membership, which can hide her visit traces! "An Nuan looked like she knew it clearly.
Liu Changan took out his phone. An Nuan blushed and pressed his hand.
Liu Changan nodded. He knew it. There was no need to look anymore. There was no doubt that An Nuan also opened a yellow diamond membership.
"I have nothing to do."
"You can't talk about me. You can only talk about her."
"Why?"
"Because I am your girlfriend, but she is not."
"That makes sense."
"Of course!"
A gust of wind blew past. The rain was thin and slanted. Liu Changan hugged An Nuan's shoulders tightly and held her in his arms to prevent the outside of their shoulders from getting wet.
An Nuan raised her head and looked at Liu Changan. She leaned her cheek against him. It felt so magical. Normally, boys grow taller at the age of 18. In just two months, Liu Changan had grown a few centimeters taller to match her height. This must be the power of love.
However, compared to a short girl like Bai Hui, would she not be as cute and lovable as a man? It was said that boys had no immunity to girls who were delicate and gentle like toys. For example, there was a height difference. Wasn't Liu Changan a head taller than Bai Hui?
Would Bai Hui grow taller if she learned Liu Changan's seedling plucking technique? If Bai Hui also grew a lot taller, then she and he would not have much charm.
"Is it useful for girls to learn your seedling plucking technique?" An Nuan rubbed his neck and asked.
"It's a little useful. You can ask Zhang Taole. She learned it from me."
"She learned it in a mess. She just fooled around for a few days and then gave up."
"You want to learn it?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll teach you when I have time." Liu Changan looked at An Nuan suspiciously.
An Nuan turned her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Even if she and Liu Changan had a tacit understanding, he was not a little worm in her stomach after all. How could he know the twists and turns of a girl's mind?
The two of them walked into the shopping mall in the podium of Baolong Center. The business atmosphere of Valentine's Day had always been extremely strong. The top luxury brands still refused to lower themselves. At most, they would hold some afternoon tea activities, invite members to drink and eat in their stores, teach children some handicrafts, and so on. However, most of the ordinary brands still showed a certain degree of sincerity … It was said that online shopping made physical store business difficult, but in fact, many brands targeted at high-spending women, including middle-aged women, were still very comfortable. Their target consumers did not care much about cost-effectiveness, but began to pursue consumer experience and service.
For example, Ms. Liu Yuewang.
An Nuan and Liu Yuewang went out together. The mother and daughter parted ways at the May Day Square. An Nuan was looking for Liu Changan, and Liu Yuewang had an appointment with a friend for morning tea. Then, they went to Baolong Center to buy clothes. If a woman did not buy clothes, what was the point of living?
Autumn arrived, and the favorite scarves of middle-aged women were in the best-selling season. The most anticipated item in Baolong Center was, of course, Hermès scarves. An Nuan looked at her mother and friends. Five or six women swarmed into the store, and then she pulled Liu Changan and quickly left.
"Aren't you going to say hello?" Liu Changan felt that it was too impolite.
"Definitely not."
"In this case, when your mother's friends see you and your boyfriend together, they will naturally praise us for being a perfect match. Don't you want to experience this kind of shyness and happiness?" Liu Changan suggested. "That's right.
An Nuan did not think of this. It felt … it felt really hard to resist. An Nuan looked at Liu Changan's half-smile, stamped her feet, and pulled Liu Changan away with a determined look.
"When we reach their age, do you think we will also be like this … Even if it's the Chinese Valentine's Day, they don't have a husband to accompany them, and they can only go out together as a group?" An Nuan was a little worried, at least twenty years later.
"The feeling of being with a lover is irreplaceable, and the feeling of being with a friend is different. A lover should not occupy the whole life of the other party. You see them now because they are happy together as sisters. Maybe when you don't see them, they have already had a romantic date with their husband." Liu Changan shook his head. A young girl was a young girl after all. She was sentimental. Just like the rain today, no one knew where it would fall.
This was the reason. An Nuan did not dwell on this issue. She pulled Liu Changan to take the sightseeing elevator and went directly to the sculpture park on the top of the seventh floor. There were many sculptures in the shape of small animals, but they were emotionally adult. No one knew what the sculptor wanted to express, and no one cared.
Standing here and looking at the whole city felt different. It was not like the top floor of Baolong Center, where the whole city was under one's feet. Looking from here, it seemed like the whole city was cut into pieces. Many buildings stood not far away, and the lingering misty rain gave a different feeling. Some tourists held umbrellas and took photos with the sculptures.
"Little girl, young man, you are so beautiful. Can I take a photo with you?" A middle-aged woman smiled, showing her gums. She looked very appreciative and said expectantly.
"Thank you, yes." An Nuan smiled reservedly and nodded.
Liu Changan naturally had no objections.
The middle-aged woman actually wanted to stand between Liu Changan and An Nuan. After taking the photo, she immediately went to the side with her friends and posted it on WeChat Moments. Perhaps some people had misunderstood that Liu Changan and An Nuan's outfits were for some kind of event, such as an anime exhibition. People would ask to take a photo with them, and those who were asked would usually be happy …
Even though An Nuan's mood was particularly gentle today, after dealing with a few waves of people, she finally pulled Liu Changan and fled.
"Are we that beautiful?" An Nuan asked, a little embarrassed.
"It's mainly because you are beautiful." Liu Changan looked at An Nuan and said with certainty.
"You look better when you are dressed in an old-fashioned style."
"When they look at you, they think of a girl like Lilac."
"You …"
"Alright, stop flattering each other. I'm getting goosebumps."
"Stop flattering each other!"
The two came down from the seventh floor and saw the cinema on the sixth floor. They decided to watch "100,000 Cold Jokes 2", which happened to be in theaters for ten days.
An Nuan bought tickets on her mobile phone and found that only two tickets were sold for the most recent movie. Moreover, the person who bought the tickets was very strange. He actually bought the two seats at the corner of the first row … However, some people were like this. Since there were not many people, they felt that it was almost like they had booked the whole theater, so it was the same to sit anywhere.
There were fewer people in the morning. The staff in the cinema were much more than the people watching the movie. The salespeople at the snack place at the entrance were not working. Liu Changan and An Nuan checked the tickets and went in. They bought food at another selling place under the escalator.
"You two, we have a couple's meal today. A large portion of popcorn, two bottles of Suntory soda, and a rose. It's only 77 yuan." The salesperson actively promoted.
An Nuan couldn't resist the "couple's meal", but she still consulted Liu Changan's opinion. "That's a good deal! Usually, popcorn and a bottle of soda cost 58 yuan! "
"En, it's really a good deal." Liu Changan agreed.
The two of them bought the combo. After entering the theater, they saw two people sitting in the first row of seats next to the entrance.
They are really sitting here … Wait. An Nuan was stunned. It was Bai Hui and her cousin. Bai Hui and An Nuan were stunned, but Bai Hui was still holding a few pieces of popcorn in her hand and stuffing it into her mouth.
Bai Hui remembered that Liu Changan said that he could see her throat and stomach. She quickly closed her mouth.
"Aiya … What a coincidence. Did we buy the same ticket?" Bai Hui laughed in surprise. "Are you also here to watch" 100,000 Cold Jokes 2 "?"
An Nuan nodded and looked back at Liu Changan.
Liu Changan said with his eyes, "Yes, you accurately predicted it, but the decision to watch the movie was made by you."
An Nuan said with her eyes, "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! "
Liu Changan said with his eyes, "Okay, but why are you looking at me?"
So, Liu Changan pressed An Nuan's head so that she could accurately face the person he was talking to at this moment. Liu Changan smiled again as a greeting to Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing was looking at Liu Changan. He was a little surprised. Women dress up to please them, and men are the same … When he saw Liu Changan for the first time, if he was dressed like this, he probably wouldn't care why Zhu Juntang was looking for him.
"Why are you sitting here? I can't watch it from here." An Nuan smiled. She also predicted what Bai Hui was going to say next.
"We bought tickets randomly. We will sit here first. When no one comes in, we will change seats." Bai Hui stood up with popcorn in her arms. "Let's sit together."
"Okay." An Nuan was still smiling.
This was probably a natural enemy, an enemy that God would help.
Liu Changan and An Nuan's seats were in the fifth row, Seat 10 and Seat 11. Seat 11 was next to the aisle. Liu Changan consciously sat in Seat 11, and An Nuan sat in Seat 10, which made her very satisfied. If Bai Hui and Zhong Qing sat in Seat 12 and Seat 13, they would also be separated from Liu Changan by the aisle. If they sat in Seat 8 and Seat 9, they would also be separated from An Nuan.
Bai Hui didn't seem to think so much. She casually sat one seat away from Liu Changan. Wasn't it understandable for An Nuan and Liu Changan to sit together? Deliberately sitting in Seat 10, this kind of whore behavior is too degrading.
"I think it's just the four of us watching this game." Zhong Qing said while drinking juice.
"That's also good." Bai Hui said.
"I just feel that the air-conditioning is turned on too high." An Nuan crossed her arms.
Liu Changan didn't say anything. He reached over and hugged An Nuan's arm.
"Let's eat together later." Zhong Qing suggested and said to An Nuan apologetically, "Last time I met Liu Changan, we had supper together. I was drunk, so Liu Changan and Bai Hui sent me back to the hotel together."
"We are all friends. It's what I should do. You're welcome." An Nuan smiled calmly.
Only then could Liu Changan feel her fingers poking his waist. She turned her head and looked at him with eyes that said, "I'll explain after we separate."
Liu Changan still didn't say anything. He just nodded. Women were really troublesome. They thought a lot and caused a lot of trouble.
"Liu Changan also lied to me to eat that sheep … sheep …" Bai Hui couldn't say it.
"Sheep, sheep, sheep?" An Nuan laughed.
The four of them laughed together. Bai Hui also didn't say anything. The atmosphere was filled with a trace of awkward joy in the laughter.
The movie began. No one spoke. The three girls went to the bathroom together for the whole movie. Liu Changan watched from beginning to end. He also played along with their laughs and contributed to the peripheral wave power of the contagious laughter.
After watching the movie, Zhong Qing treated everyone to a Japanese buffet … For any buffet to make a profit, cost control was essential. It was impossible to use the best ingredients, and no matter how expensive a buffet was, it would not only serve the delicacies of a single type of food. It was suitable for big eaters and people who wanted to try everything and were too lazy to order.
Zhong Qing was actually very good at ordering. That was her job. For example, when the chefs of several restaurants prepared the menu, Zhong Qing would first look over it before sending it to Zhu Juntang and the Third Madam. Therefore, when she wasn't working, Zhong Qing didn't like to flip through the menu. She didn't have much experience. Even if the two of them ate the same name, the quality and taste of the food might be different from the food that could be eaten outside.
398 yuan per person. It was a very down-to-earth price. Everyone ordered their own dishes. There was foie gras with caviar, steamed eggs, foie gras, and sea urchins. An Nuan preferred barbecued dishes. She even suggested to Liu Changan. Bai Hui also ordered steak. This place was at least more high-end than the place Liu Changan had treated them to last time. Zhong Qing ordered two bowls of pumpkin soup.
"I'm counting on you to eat back your money." Zhong Qing said to Liu Changan with a smile.
"No problem." Liu Changan nodded his head.
"He can eat a lot." Bai Hui knew Liu Changan's appetite very well and said.
"When I was at school, I wasn't afraid that I couldn't finish the food when I went out to eat." An Nuan said with some reminiscence.
Bah! She gave the leftovers to Liu Changan and still had the nerve to say that! Bai Hui glanced at An Nuan with a smile.
See, I always put the meat and vegetables into Liu Changan's bowl at the beginning and often drink his limitless orange juice. An Nuan smiled and nodded her head.
Zhong Qing looked at Bai Hui and An Nuan and then drank the tea with his head lowered.
Liu Changan was already eating the appetizers and snacks, green beans, pickles, diced chicken, and smoked fish. When he was eating, he wasn't interested in talking about anything and would just eat seriously.
"Next time, let's take Zhou Dongdong to a buffet together!" An Nuan suddenly remembered and said to Liu Changan happily, "She can eat for free! The restaurant would never expect such a small child to eat so much. "
"Okay." Liu Changan nodded his head. If a hundred Zhou Dongdong entered a buffet restaurant, then the restaurant would go bankrupt.
"Zhou Dongdong?" Bai Hui remembered. It was that stupid child. She looked at An Nuan tentatively, "An Nuan, do you like that child?"
"Of course, Zhou Dongdong is fun. She can eat a lot and is cute. Sometimes, I feel like she's Liu Changan's sister." An Nuan took out her mobile phone and found a photo of her and Zhou Dongdong. In the photo, An Nuan was posing and adjusting her expression. Zhou Dongdong tilted her head and put her face close to the camera. It seemed that Zhou Dongdong's face was much bigger than An Nuan's.
Bai Hui didn't talk much about her last contact with Zhou Dongdong. She was a little puzzled. Why doesn't this child like me? It was probably similar to Liu Changan liking An Nuan and not her. There must be some reasons that she didn't know.
It was the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Bai Hui's heart suddenly felt like it was raining.
After lunch, Zhongqing wanted to go back to the hotel room for a lunch break. Bai Hui left with her. An Nuan and Liu Changan left Baolong Center to stroll around.
An Nuan noticed that Bai Hui was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything to Liu Changan. It was because Bai Hui didn't comment on her and Liu Changan's clothes. The more ordinary they were, the more it showed that she cared about them. I guessed it right. Bai Hui's attitude toward Liu Changan was indeed different now. Although I'm not sure that Bai Hui will snatch An Nuan's boyfriend, girls will always pay attention to this aspect.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to an old street to satisfy their freshness. They actually met Liu Yuewang and her friends in a silk scarf shop. Sure enough, women of this age were extremely fond of silk scarves of all kinds of materials and colors. No wonder women could be seen in many scenic spots holding up silk scarves with both hands to take photos … Where did this hobby of middle-aged women come from? In their time, was there any leading actress or star who became popular because of this pose and left a mark in their hearts?
Liu Changan didn't have any impression, but these middle-aged women made fun of An Nuan without surprise … They even made jokes about young mother-in-law and son-in-law. Sure enough, when women huddled together, there was no bottom line or consideration to speak of.
In order to avoid further embarrassment for An Nuan and Liu Yuewang, Liu Changan found an excuse to leave and made an appointment to go to school together.
In comparison, Liu Yuewang and her friends didn't seem to be of the same age. Many of them were a few years older than her, and their daughters were about the same age as An Nuan, some were even younger than An Nuan. Liu Yuewang was more like a fresh flower among the green leaves.
Liu Changan and An Nuan chatted all the way back home.
Today's festival was quite satisfactory. It was also the first time for him to take the initiative to kiss a girl after so many years. Liu Changan didn't feel that it was ordinary. Just like countless waves in time, one after another was annihilated. Couldn't the new wave that was still blooming still amaze time?
When the monkeys started to mutate, if they all became monogamous, it wouldn't be as interesting as the world now, right? As Liu Changan was thinking about these trivial things, the rain had already stopped. He returned to the parasol tree, and only scattered raindrops fell on his shoulders.
Qin Yanan sent a message to ask if he was home. Liu Changan replied "Yes", and Qin Yanan said she would come to find him in a while.
In fact, it was Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang who came to find him. Recently, Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang often hung out together, and it was normal for them to be together on Valentine's Day without boyfriends. They even brought a bottle of glutinous rice wine to invite Liu Changan to drink.
"Your clothes are very chivalrous!" When Qin Yanan saw Liu Changan's clothes, she quietly sized up Liu Changan, who was different from usual, without presumptuous eyes.
This was not the Liu Changan that Qin Yanan was familiar with. Although his temperament was still the same, it was like a fried steak, and the side dishes were also very important.
"A chivalrous man dressed like this is definitely to seduce a heroine. That is the temperament of a chivalrous man. The temperament of a chivalrous man has nothing to do with this kind of dressing. "Liu Changan waved his hand. Did you know about Jiuzhou's Wind and Thunder Swordsman? When this swordsman was chivalrous, he wouldn't dress very casually.
"Then, did you seduce a heroine?" Zhu Juntang circled around Liu Changan and said with some disdain, "The material is not good, and the workmanship is average … This is considered a Han style clothing."
Zhu Juntang herself had quite a number of exquisitely made Ming Han clothing. It was rare for Taiwan to be united with the mainland, and that was because they all believed that Guoxing Lord was a national hero. There were many ancestral temples for Guoxing Lord, and because of this, some of the cultural clothing of Guoxing Lord's era had spread far and wide. Zhu Juntang's earliest understanding of things related to Ming Han clothing was from the commemoration of Zheng Chenggong.
"The material is not good, and someone personally cut it for me. The workmanship is average, but it was done with care." Liu Changan patted Zhu Juntang's head, "What do you know? Go play somewhere else. "
Zhu Juntang staggered, feeling that Liu Changan's slap was a little too forceful. Dizzily, she hugged Qin Yanan, "Yaya, he hit me!"
"You have to be sensible. Today is Qixi Festival, and he's wearing this. It's obviously not a gift from his girlfriend, but it has something to do with his girlfriend. Aren't you asking for a beating by saying that?" Qin Yanan smiled. Her great-uncle was really like an old man when it came to this. He was especially protective of his little girlfriend … Many old men's granddaughters or new wives wouldn't tolerate others talking about them.
"What's so great about Qixi Festival …" Zhu Juntang fanned her arms, unconvinced, "I'm like Zhinu, a fairy."
"Zhinu has a cowherd, you can at most eat a bowl of beef offal." Liu Changan was dismissive, but the beef offal was still very tasty, and with some radish, it would be delicious in winter.
"I thought you would say that she can only find a cowherd." After Qin Yanan said that, she felt like she exposed something in front of Liu Changan … It was a dirty joke that she and Zhu Juntang came up with last night.
So, Qin Yanan smiled embarrassedly, and Zhu Juntang turned the gun around and punched Qin Yanan's arm.
After a while, Qin Yanan moved the table over and poured glutinous rice wine. Liu Changan bought a few bags of fish tails from Auntie Xie to go with the wine.
One bite of the fish tail was so spicy that Zhu Juntang cried and screamed. Qin Yanan was fine, but she refused to eat a second bag. Liu Changan slowly ate by himself.
Compared to Japanese food, traditional spicy food from Hunan was much more spicy.
"I want to discuss something with you." Qin Yanan put down the bowl because Liu Changan used three rice bowls to hold the wine, and didn't use cups.
"Speak." Liu Changan grabbed the bowl and drank.
"Isn't Yaya invulnerable? I know you must be the same, even if you don't allow Yaya to say … ha … huhu … "
Zhu Juntang rushed to speak, and Liu Changan took a piece of fish tail and stuffed it into Zhu Juntang's mouth. Zhu Juntang was so scared that she quickly dodged, panting.
Liu Changan gestured for Qin Yanan to continue.
"I want to form a League of Heroes with you." Qin Yanan was a little embarrassed, but she looked at Liu Changan seriously. She knew that this proposal was beyond Liu Changan's expectations, and it was also a little childish and immature.
Liu Changan took a sip of wine and ate a piece of fish tail. "Continue."
"My idea is still a little childish at the moment, but I want to confirm the organization first, and then slowly set up our activity guidelines. Maybe we'll be idle, just a small group of people who drink tea and chat. Maybe we'll be able to do something, and when one day we see something suitable for us to solve, we'll show our strength. "Qin Yanan pointed at Zhu Juntang." Currently, the confirmed members of our alliance are me and her. I hope you can join us. "
"Her?" Liu Changan wasn't surprised by Qin Yanan's idea. Everyone who just realized that they had superpowers would probably want to do something, even if they didn't know what they wanted to do at the time.
People who were struggling with life might first think about how to use their superpowers to change their situation, and the rich might want to become more powerful, but there would always be people who would pursue other things.
After all, she originated from Ye Sijin.
What he couldn't understand was whether Zhu Juntang was brought in to make up the numbers. She didn't know how to do odd jobs. Zhu Juntang only knew how to make phone calls, call people, and call a van full of men in black. Then this organization would develop into a gang.
"First, I'm a fairy. Second, I also have superpowers. "Zhu Juntang didn't care about Liu Changan's suspicious eyes.
"Being rich doesn't count as a superpower." Liu Changan shook his head.
"I can get good things that the army wants." Zhu Juntang lowered her voice and blushed. She didn't expect Liu Changan to see through her, but Liu Changan definitely wouldn't have thought of this.
"Bear San?"
"Pfft … My mother gave me high-level access … I can use some resources that I didn't have access to before … such as some biotechnology products." Zhu Juntang was proud.
