Window 2, Seventh Canteen

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, it was the warmest time of the day.

Jiang Wei stopped at the station outside the south gate, glanced at the platform, and took out his phone.

The sun was warm and made him sleepy.

He sent a text message asking where Han Zilu was, and while sending it, he stared at the station to see if there was the bus he was waiting for.

Han Zilu quickly replied that there was a traffic jam near the university, so he might arrive later.

Jiang Wei thought about it, and didn't reply to the text message at all, just stepped on the bike and rode there.

The road was really congested, large and small cars lined up in the middle of the road, like a pile of stranded fish, some lifelessly resigned to their fate, while others honked their horns in vain.

Jiang Wei shuttled among the crowded vehicles and pedestrians, and finally reached the vicinity of the University of Earth.

In this road condition, he would inevitably be delayed even if he was a cyclist, let alone those motor vehicles.

He looked towards the road, and soon found a familiar figure, that is, the big bus, surrounded by small cars in the front, back, left, and right sides, like a large herbivore in a herd of beasts.

The division of motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle lanes here is not so strict. Jiang Wei rode his bicycle through the gaps between the vehicles and soon arrived at the bus.

After leaving a distance of about two meters, he stopped the car and called Han Zilu.

"Hey?"

"Well, are you here? Sorry, I'm still in traffic."

"Yeah, I saw it from a long distance, and it was blocked motionless."

"Well, sorry."

The two "sorry" made Jiang Wei a little uncomfortable.

Han Zilu seemed to have a relationship with him, but he hadn't seen him for five days, but his tone of voice seemed to be back to before the winter vacation.

Jiang Wei scratched his head, "Why are you being polite to me, besides, it's not your fault, the traffic jam."

Han Zilu: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let you out, just wait for me in the dormitory."

Jiang Wei: "It's already here, haha, do you think this is going to work? I'll help you smash the glass of the car, and you jump out of the window. I'll catch you and let's run away."

Han Zilu: "Even if the glass is broken, you... wait, are you here? Are you nearby?"

Jiang Wei saw a figure moving in the carriage and approaching the window. Sure enough, it was Han Zilu, leaning over to look out, his face almost covered with the glass.

Jiang Wei waved at him.

Han Zilu: "You...why are you here?"

Jiang Wei: "Come to see you, and check the traffic jam situation in the capital by the way."

Han Zilu: "..."

Jiang Wei: "Why don't you talk?"

Han Zilu: "Wait a minute, I'll ask the driver if he can open the door."

Jiang Wei: "Huh? Don't do it, definitely not..." But Han Zilu has already gone.

He watched the figure in front of the car window disappear and reappear after a while.

Han Zilu sighed, "No."

Jiang Wei: "Just say no, or the car would have disappeared."

Han Zilu: "Well... I don't know how long it will be blocked."

Jiang Wei: "It's okay, it's almost here anyway, so let's get stuck, I'll chat with you for a while, it'll be over soon, by the way, what did you have for lunch? The hotel food is good, right? "

Han Zilu: "Uh...haven't eaten yet."

Jiang Wei: "What? Don't care about the food? It looks like a nice hotel, squeezing the employees so much."

Han Zilu: "No, I left early, so I didn't eat."

Jiang Weiyi understood that Han Zilu wanted to come to him sooner, and he felt a little proud for a moment, "Then I'll take you to eat, what do you think? I'm familiar with this place, wait a while Go eat after you stand, what do you want to eat?"

Han Zilu: "Since you are familiar with it, I will listen to you and eat whatever you want."

Jiang Wei: "Well, then let me introduce you first..." Jiang Wei began to introduce it in a serious manner.

If you want to eat Chinese food, there are Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Beijing cuisine, and Northeast cuisine nearby, and there are several Western-style fast food and pizza. In addition, because there are more foreign students, there are not a few Japanese and Korean restaurants. Although there are more Koreans than Japanese here, Jiang Wei is sincere. He felt that there was nothing to eat in Korean food, so he just passed it by and focused on introducing a few Japanese food restaurants that he thought were good.

After all this was said, the traffic finally started to move.

Jiang Wei waved to Han Zilu excitedly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk, we will talk when we get off the car, and I will follow you by bike."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked around to the other side of the bus, and followed unhurriedly.

Han Zilu also changed direction in the car, facing Jiang Wei's side, and stood in front of the car window.

Although the car was driving, the speed was still slow, and it took about 10 minutes to drive to the stop.

As soon as the car over there pulled into the station, Jiang Wei also came to a complete stop here.

After Han Zilu got off the car, he went directly to Jiang Wei's side and rubbed his head.

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Han Zilu: "Long time no see." After speaking, he let out a soft breath.

At this moment, the two of them stood very close, only an arm's length away, but Jiang Wei always felt that after a week of not seeing each other, the feeling between him and Han Zilu was different from the last time they met.

How to describe it?

They are more like friends than a couple.

I don't know if he was thinking too much.

After discussing for a while, the two finally decided to eat Japanese food first.

Jiang Wei was pushing the cart, and Han Zilu was walking on his right, with a bicycle between them.

After walking for a while, Jiang Wei couldn't help but stop.

Han Zilu stopped after walking a few more steps, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jiang Wei pushed the car and rushed a few steps to the right of Han Zilu, so that they could walk side by side without the bicycle separated.

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Wei freed his left hand and touched Han Zilu's right hand.

Ask him: "Is it cold without gloves?"

Han Zilu shook his head, and touched Jiang Wei's face with his palm.

It's really warm.

Jiang Wei nodded, and Han Zilu smiled at him, the dimples on his face looked very pretty in the afternoon sun.

Jiang Wei suddenly had a strong urge to hug Han Zilu.

It had nothing to do with lust, it just came out of the blue, I wanted to hug.

But at the moment he was pushing the car, and it was on the side of the road, one was inconvenient, and the other was too deliberate, so he could only think about it in his head.

The bustling place in Wudaokou is just that big, and the two quickly walked to the entrance of the Japanese grocery store.

Jiang Wei parked the car, turned around and saw Han Zilu looking at him.

The urge to hug him came back instantly.

Jiang Wei quickly glanced left and right, the Japanese grocery store was in an alley, and there was no one around.

He took a step forward and hugged Han Zilu tightly in his arms.

It only stopped for a second or two, and before letting go, he patted Han Zilu on the back.

It's okay not to shoot, but this one is a bit strange.

A hug begins like a lover, but ends like a friend.

Jiang Wei stood still like this, and didn't say what he was thinking.

It was quiet all around.

Han Zilu took his hand and called him, "Jiang Wei."

The voice was gentle and firm, sweeping across Jiang Wei's heart with a thin electric current, just like that, it made up for the unfamiliarity that hadn't been seen for a week.

Jiang Wei shook Han Zilu's hand vigorously, "Let's go."

The owner of this Japanese food store is a Chinese man who has studied in Japan. He often stands in the store wearing a suit and straight. When he sees a customer who is pleasing to the eye, he goes over to chat for a few words, in the name of communicating and improving service. However, Jiang Wei I think he is idle.

It was already past dinner time, and there was no one in the shop.

As soon as Jiang Wei and the others came in, several waiters surrounded them, instantly forming a situation where there were more service staff than customers.

Seeing this posture, the boss also followed, and taught several waiters, "How many times have I told you, don't rush up, one-on-one service, neither too many nor too few people."

After driving away the waiters, he took the menu with his own hands and asked Jiang Wei and the others, "Good afternoon, gentlemen, where do you want to sit?"

Jiang Wei looked at Han Zilu, and Han Zilu scanned the shop and pointed to the bar.

Jiang Wei: "Just over there."

Boss: "Don't you want to take a wider seat?"

Jiang Wei: "It's more interesting to see your chefs cooking over there." He looked at Han Zilu, "Isn't it?"

Han Zilu smiled and nodded.

The two sat at the bar, Jiang Wei gave the menu to Han Zilu, and Han Zilu was not polite, ordered some sashimi and a scroll.

The bar is positioned directly across from the huge glass freezer and the chef behind it.

There were only Jiang Wei and his two customers in the store. The Japanese chef greeted them in Chinese while wiping the blade.

Jiang Wei replied hello, and Han Zilu replied in Japanese.

Seeing that he could speak Japanese, the chef chatted with him a long time.

Han Zilu went back again.

Jiang Wei didn't understand Japanese, so he asked Han Zilu what he meant. Han Zilu called the waiter and replaced the hand roll with eel rice, and then explained to Jiang Wei. The chef told him that the eel today was very good, and suggested that he try it.

Jiang Wei looked at Han Zilu with an exaggerated expression of admiration.

Han Zilu rubbed his head and showed him the chef.

I saw the chef put the cleaned knife on the table, tidied up his coat and hat, took out the salmon belly from the freezer with both hands, and put it on the oil-absorbing paper.

He asked Han Zilu another question, and Han Zilu answered briefly.

Jiang Wei asked, "What?"

Han Zilu: "I asked for thick slices, and I said thick slices."

"oh oh."

The Japanese chef cut the knife, first shaved off the irregular parts of the fish, and then wiped the knife again before officially making the first knife.

His blade was very thin, and it seemed that he would not meet the slightest resistance when it fell on the fish, and it went straight through the fish and touched the chopping board.

After a slight "boom", the chef pulled out the knife and wiped it again.

It's not that Jiang Wei has never seen this kind of live performance before, but for some reason, watching it with Han Zilu now, he feels that the salmon sashimi seems more attractive.

Han Zilu: "An extra one for you?"

Jiang Wei nodded.

It didn't take long for the sashimi platter to be placed on the small table - eight pieces each of salmon belly, tuna, abalone slices, sweet shrimp and vinegar fish, which were neatly stacked on crushed ice and served in light blue in a glass tray.

Han Zilu poured soy sauce into his own and Jiang Wei's plates respectively, and handed the small plate with mustard to his eyes.

Jiang Wei looked at Han Zilu, Han Zilu dipped some mustard on the fish belly with the tip of his chopsticks, then picked it up, slightly dipped it in soy sauce.

Jiang Wei used to mix wasabi and soy sauce directly, but now that Han Zilu is like this, he tries the same, and the taste is really different from mixing them together.

After taking a big mouthful of salmon, Jiang Wei exhaled comfortably, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

Han Zilu: "Then eat more."

Jiang Wei: "I'll just have a piece of it, after lunch."

Jiang Wei said so, he ate at least half of the sashimi platter, even Han Zilu's eel rice, and ate half a bowl for him.

Han Zilu didn't have lunch at noon, but Jiang Wei came here after eating, and stuffed his stomach with these things, he felt full immediately.

Han Zilu looked at him and smiled, Jiang Wei rubbed his stomach, "With you, sooner or later I will gain weight."

Han Zilu: "This is just the beginning."
