Rebirth Aftec Death

Curry Rice

Since it was not lunch time yet, there were only a handful of people on the third floor of the cafeteria.

I bought two servings of curry chicken rice and pushed a plate to Li Chishu.

He immediately said, "I don't need it."

"I already bought it." I handed him the spoon, "You eat with me."

Li Chishu didn't know what curry tasted like before he went to college.

Sounds exaggerated? I had the same reaction when I first heard him say that:

- "How is it possible?!"

But he just smiled and said quietly, "Really."

That smile won't make you feel that you have offended him, but it won't show any joking intention. Li Chishu just told you calmly: He really has never eaten curry.

The most important thing in his school days was studying, and the second was saving money. He studied hard and saved money hard. It's best to split a penny into two. If you don't starve to death or freeze to death, it's a waste to spend a penny more on your appetite.

I remember everything he told me, but I forgot that the curry on the third floor of the school is really spicy.

Li Chishu's face turned red from the spiciness after the first bite. I quickly got up to buy water, but there were only drinks on the third floor. So I asked, "Do you want Sprite or Fanta?"

Even though he was choked and couldn't speak, he was still able to look back and forth between the two drink windows. Li Chishu's eyes rolled, and I knew what he was thinking: he was guessing which one was cheaper.

I went straight to the window, and the kitchen just brought up the non-spicy orange juice. I brought it to Li Chishu, and he raised his head and drank most of it.

I bought another non-spicy potato brisket, put some white rice on his plate, and helped him mix the vegetables into the rice.

"Thank you," he waited obediently for me to mix it, and said blankly, "How much are these... You can swipe my card next time..."

"What are you swiping?" I said, "This is Jiang Chi's promise to treat me to a meal when he lost the basketball game. It's a waste if I don't eat it. Are you going to give it back to him?"

After that, I showed the card. On the campus card, Jiang Chi's headshot smile revealed a clear stupidity.

Li Chishu said nothing more.

I asked again: "Do you have any plans for the next weekend?"

"Arrangements?" He reacted for a moment and shook his head, "I should go to the classroom to study."

Li Chishu's home is not far from the school, but he lives in the school all year round and rarely goes home except for winter and summer vacations. There is no one at home. His only grandmother has become mentally and physically unwell after his parents got into trouble. She lives in a nursing home and hangs out with old men and women all year round. It is difficult for her to take care of herself, let alone take care of Li Chishu.

I buried my head in eating: "Then can you go somewhere with me?"

Thinking that he is most concerned about his studies, I immediately added: "It won't delay you from doing homework and reading books, just go there with me, you can do whatever you want, no one will disturb you."

He didn't say much.

After a while, he asked me: "Your home?"

"No."

In fact, I haven't decided where to go.

He tried: "Are there any other friends with you?"

"No, I was the only one from beginning to end."

Li Chishu seemed relieved.

At his age, he was not very good at dealing with strangers of the same age, especially my friends who came from overly well-off families. Everyone was innocent and naive, and that kind of innocence made Li Chishu feel the need to take care of them who knew nothing about poverty.

For example, at a party one year, Li Chishu talked about the first time he followed his parents to work when he was five or six years old to see them making honeycomb coal. Jiang Chi grinned and asked, "What is honeycomb coal?"

I showed him the photo, and he pointed at the picture and widened his eyes: "Is there anyone using this thing?"

At that time, Li Chishu lowered his eyes and smiled, and it took a long time to answer: "When I was a child, I relied on this to keep warm in winter."

Jiang Chi immediately apologized repeatedly, full of guilt and sincerity. But Li Chishu was most reluctant to see such guilt. It was obviously the suffering he had experienced, but it always made his future friends feel sorry for him when they learned about it. It seemed that the past was a scar that could not be touched, but in fact he was not so unwilling to face it. "How is it?" I looked up at him after all his awkwardness and uneasiness settled down after the test, "How is it? Are you going?"

"Is it far?" he asked.

"Not far. Two hours' drive." I said, "It's just that the conditions are not very good, the place is a bit shabby, maybe in the countryside. Come back after the holiday."

He thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Li Chishu was probably not really hungry. He ate half of a plate of potatoes and beef brisket. If the school didn't have a microwave room to heat up cold rice, I would not ignore the intention in his eyes to take it away.

After returning to class, I approached Jiang Chi: "Your brother doesn't care about the rural planning in our city and county?" Jiang Chi was confused: "Yeah, what's wrong?" "Can you ask him to help me find a house to rent in the countryside. A shabby one with poor conditions, preferably with a cement floor, but not without water and electricity... It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, anyway, it doesn't matter. Ask for me, I want to rent one." "Why are you renting this?" Jiang Chi said, "Hey, why are you acting so weird all day?" "I'm useful. "I'm full of houses," Remember to ask for me, the faster the better, and I'll use it in the next week at the latest."

Jiang Chi got angry: "Why don't you say it, why do I ask?"

I straightened my eyes: "You must listen?" Jiang Chi said: "You must listen."

I said: "I want to chase people."

"Ching people?" When Jiang Chi heard this, he looked up and raised his legs on the chair. He was trying to go to me, "Do I understand the one who chases me?" "Yes." He smiled and said, "Who are you interested in?" I said, "Li Chishu." Jiang Chi fell off the chair.

The reaction was exactly the same as what I heard about this in my previous life.

I helped Jiang Chi up and said, "We will use it in the future."

Jiang Chi's face was very bad, and he might not have recovered yet: "Are you serious?"

"Really." I nodded, "I'll change it to the end of the period."

"No!" Jiang Chi stopped talking and looked around, and just looked around, just put his mouth into my nostrils, "You...really...Li Chishu... want to follow him..."

The bell rang for class. I stood up from the table, habitually put my hands in my trouser pockets like I did in the studio, and tilted my head towards him: "Not only do I want to pursue him, but I also want to be with him for the rest of my life, and we will get the marriage certificate abroad in the future. If you can't accept it, then you should work harder on yourself and accept it as soon as possible."
