Chapter 100
Too expensive on the menu, not what they can afford, nothing bad about the snack bar across from the school.
Just as they stood up, the waiter hurriedly said, "One of the reserved guests is temporarily unavailable. Would you like to buy it for 300 yuan?"
As if afraid that they won't agree, the waiter said again: "The chef is very strict about the freshness of the food. There is only one table of you in the store. If you don't agree, you can only throw it away."
Zhuangzhou spoke quickly and looked at Shen Chi: "I remember that there was no class in the afternoon, did you remember it wrong?"
The red-haired boy replied reservedly: "I remember wrong."
They took their seats again, and the waiter took them into a box. The wooden table in the box was full of dazzling food, including tuna sushi, Matsuba crab, eel grilled... and steaming sukiyaki. .
The waiter stood aside and introduced them in turn: "This is pepper tofu, and fresh sea urchin is on the tofu..."
Shi Liang felt like he was dreaming. He thought he was not used to eating sashimi, but the peony shrimp was lightly sweet and stained with freshly ground wasabi.
Shen Chi casually picked up the tuna pot belly sushi. He has always been picky about his taste, but the taste is delicate and rich, and the taste is unexpectedly fresh, but he swept it around: "Is there no wine?"
It's supposed to go with the right wine.
The waiter said apologetically, "The last customer didn't order wine."
Although there was no wine, the three minors still enjoyed the meal happily. Everyone's stomach was full. When they were almost finished, Shen Chi walked out of the box and paid for it.
When they left, the waiter asked the boss worriedly, "Will it not be a loss?"
"Someone paid for them." The boss said with a smile, "Even the ingredients are shipped by air. I have never used such good ingredients in my life."
Because they ate too long, they missed the previous bus, and the last bus departed late. It was not until 6:00 pm that the three of them got on the bus back to the border town, and Shen Chi turned on his mobile phone.
[Shen Chi] The Japanese food is very delicious. If you come to the border town, I will invite you to eat
The other party replied softly.
【Yan Xuexiao】Good
The bus started slowly, Shen Chi leaned his head against the window of the bus, watching the provincial capital gradually disappear in the eye level, he made a sentence.
[Shen Chi] It would be nice if there were desserts. My grandma used to take me there and always bought desserts for me, but I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know if she forgot me.

The bus drove for three hours and stopped at the bus station in the border town. It was already dark at this time, and the scattered street lights cast dim shadows.
"I'm going home, and my mother will be worried if I don't go back."
"My dad is calling me back too."
Shen Chi lowered his eyes and walked towards the residential building alone after parting. He walked into the dark corridor.
The voice-activated light was broken and had not been repaired. He turned on the flashlight and went upstairs in the light of his mobile phone. When he was about to open the door, he suddenly tripped on something under his feet.
He bent down and found that it was a small box in a pocket. The boy opened the door and walked into the house, opened the box cautiously, and was stunned for a moment.
A small strawberry cake appeared in front of him, and a small card was attached to the side of the box. He opened the card with trembling hands, and it said that Grandma wants you to be happy.
Even if he knew that Yan Xuexiao sent it, he lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he slowly ate the cake, with nothing left.
After eating the cake, Shen Chi dug out the address book and found Yan Xuexiao's name. International phone calls were too expensive. After thinking about it, he still didn't make a call. Instead, he opened WeChat and made a voice call.
He didn't speak for a long time, Yan Xuexiao also did not speak quietly, as if silently comforting: "Are you usually busy in class?"
Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, the young man replied, "I still have time to answer your call."
The moment he heard the words, the teenager squeezed the phone tightly, as if all his willfulness would be satisfied, he suddenly asked, "Why did you study philosophy?"
In many people's minds, philosophy is a useless subject.
After a while, Yan Xuexiao's cold voice came over the phone: "The entire history of philosophy can be said to be a history of inquiry into the origin of the world, from Thales's aquatic creatures to Descartes' dualism of mind and matter, to Nietzsche's revaluation of all values. "
The young man said calmly: "Philosophy is a group of curious people looking up at the world, which in itself is a thrilling thing."
Although Shen Chi couldn't fully understand it, perhaps the aroma left over from the strawberry cake was too sweet and the description was too làng. He wanted to get closer to Yan Xuexiao's world.
The teenager sat at the desk and opened the philosophy section of the political book for the first time.

On Monday, Mr. Wang stood on the podium before class and said sharply: "Now some students don't take their studies seriously at all. They don't study at home on weekends and go to Internet cafes in groups. This week, we will carry out a clean-up campaign. A third middle school student is not allowed to appear in the Internet cafe."
Zhuangzhou had just finished his homework, when he heard this sentence, he wondered, "Is it the time of menopause?"
The boy in the front row covered the lower half of his face with a book, turned his head and whispered, "I heard that yesterday's blind date failed."
"That's not surprising." Zhuangzhou was worried about the promotion to the Northwest Division next week, but the Internet cafes in the provincial capital should not be so far away, so he put his heart down again.
