Chapter 15 I Can Chase You Again
The sign of the ‘Laohu Lamb Restaurant’ is older than what I remember.
This mutton restaurant opened near No. 1 Middle School when Fan Zhe was in school, and it is now considered an old store.
The red paint on the exterior wall of the store is no longer so bright. It has become dark after years of wind and rain. The dense creepers spread along the wall into a diagonal, and in early summer, it is deep green.
The red and green colors are not cliché at all, but rather beautiful, which makes Fan Zhe want to take pictures as an inspiration and reference for painting things in the future.
At first glance, Fan Zhe saw the girl half leaning against the red wall next to the ivy, holding a book and lowering her head to read.
She looks clean and bright.
A white shirt with a sleeve that was pulled down a little lower than the elbows, and her slender hands looked very soft. Against the backdrop of light green jeans, the legs looked slender and straight. The ankles exposed under the legs of the trousers were clearly distinguished and very nice. A pair of white single shoes were simple and generous.
Her long curly hair wrapped around half of her face, and her fair skin formed a very obvious contrast with her bright lips. In the noon sun, she shone brightly.
A breeze blew, causing her shirt to move slightly and her hair to float slightly. For a moment, she felt a bit quiet.
She lifted the strand of hair that blocked her vision behind her ears, raised her head slightly, and saw Fan Zhe approaching from afar.
After closing the book, she waved at Fan Zhe happily.
After meeting it, Una said, "You're coming too slowly!"
"I've been five minutes ahead of time..."
"But you are still coming later than the lady, so you want to treat you!"
"Okay, okay...no problem." Now that I have money in my pocket, I will definitely not panic when I invite a mutton restaurant.
"So refreshing?" Una showed a puzzled expression, but soon laughed brightly again: "I'm having fun with you, I'll treat this meal!"
The two walked into the mutton restaurant side by side. During this period, Fan Zhe noticed the book she was holding, with the cover saying "Language Skills of Film and Television Performance". The book looks a bit old and should be read from time to time.
"What are you reading this kind of book?"
"Ah..." Una stuffed the book into the cloth bag she carried with her and said, "I've changed careers."
"Be an actor? Stop teasing?"
"I'm serious if anyone teases you." Una raised her neck proudly, "Miss has been acting since she switched to an actor last year and has been acting in more than ten dramas now!"
This girl graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Shenghai University of Technology. The volunteer was applied to her by her engineer, the father of an aging factory. According to Wu Dad, a tiger father has no dog daughter, so her daughter naturally has to strive for the chemical engineering cause of the motherland and add bricks to socialist modernization.
Well... Nowadays, not many of my parents have this kind of feelings.
Unfortunately, Una neither liked it nor was it that material. She had been to college for four years, and after graduation, she stayed in Shenghai and changed careers directly.
When she was in college, she was in the same city with Fan Zhe, and she ran out of the school from time to time to find Fan Zhe to play. However, after Fan Zhe got married, they almost never met in Shenghai, but only occasionally went home to meet during festivals.
It is precisely because of this that Fan Zhe didn't know much about her recent situation. She only knew that she had been working as a translator when she first graduated - this girl didn't know where she learned German - and later when she changed careers and became an actress, Fan Zhe really didn't know about it.
"You didn't tell me about this during the Chinese New Year last year. Is it fun to be an actor?"
"It's okay."
"Then why haven't I heard of you?"
When Wuna's face collapsed, she immediately became stern: "What I pursue is art, not fame, you have never heard of it."
"In the 18th-line small crew, play a supporting role?"
"Can you speak?" Una's face turned a little dark, but she still looked so good.
Fan Zhe wanted to make a few more jokes, but was interrupted by a warm greeting.
"Xiao Na? Fan Zhe? Long time no see, why are you back? Don't chat outside, hurry up and sit in."
The one who greeted them was Lao Hu, the owner of this mutton restaurant.
Turning his head, Una pulled Fan Zhe into the store, and said with a smile: "Old Hu, you are fat again!"
"Nonsense! I'm not fat at all!" Old Hu glared at Wuna first, then sighed, and sighed: "It's just that when you all grew up, you feel that you are old."
Una smiled and said, "No, you are not old, you are fatter than before."
"You can talk."
After chatting casually, the two of them found a place in the store to sit down. After ordering the dishes, Fan Zhe said, "I didn't expect Lao Hu to remember us."
This really surprised Fan Zhe. After leaving Xunyang in college, he rarely came here, and occasionally he didn't necessarily come back to his hometown during festivals. In his impression, the last time he came to this store seemed to have been two or three years ago.
"Hehe, actually, it's mainly because I remember me." Una said with a smile, and then said, "Don't you think this is good?"
"Well, it's pretty good. Every time I come back, I always feel a kind of intimacy when I hear Lao Hu say hello, as if our youth is still there."
The two of them talked a few words, and the hot mutton pot came up.
In fact, it is not a good time to eat mutton pots in hot weather. It is really good to eat this thing when it is cold. But who knows if you still have time to come back in winter? If you want to taste the taste in your memory, you don’t have to pay attention to the season.
Fan Zhe asked for a bottle of beer and asked, "Are you?"
"No, I never drink alcohol, you don't know."
"I thought these few years have passed and you can drink it."
"No." Fan Zhe was given a blank look, Wuna put down her chopsticks, tasted the stewed mutton, and praised: "It's still the old taste, it's so fragrant."
Van Zhe's mouth was stuffed with flesh, and he had no time to speak, so he could only give out a thumbs up.
After eating for a while, Fan Zhe suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Then you have changed your career and become an actor. What are you doing when you run back to Xunyang now?"
"I took on a scene, it was a movie, and I played a small role. Some of the outdoor scenes happened to be filming around Xunyang. It took a few days to start filming. I thought that the time was right, so I came back a little early and prepared to stay at home for a few days before reporting to the crew."
"So that's it...how's the show?"
"A small craftsman." Una smiled, feeling a little sad.
It seems that her development has not been very smooth over the years.
Fan Zhe found that this girl was much more mature than she thought.
Yes, it has been so many years since she brought a group of people to confess to her. Whoever is, she will grow up.
Una suddenly laughed and said, "Don't talk about those things anymore. I heard you are divorced?"
“Uh… well.”
"That... does it mean that I can chase you again?" Una looked eager to try.
Fan Zhe decided to take back what he thought just now.
