The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 165 It is indeed more fun to watch southerners playing in the snow than to play in the snow yourself

After staying in Xiangxi for a few more days, when Wu Xianyu got the finished clothes, he looked at Lin Miaomiao wearing the Miao costume that fit her better. She happily turned around on the spot, and a smile appeared on her face.

Lin Miaomiao came to Wu Xianyu in a small jump, with her hands behind her back, slightly bent over, and looked at Wu Xianyu.

"Baby, am I pretty today?"

"She's beautiful, like she came out of a painting. I feel like you'll be cursed if you put on this dress."

"Haha, it would be great if I could really cast a spell."

"Huh? You don't? Then why do I feel like I've been poisoned?"

Wu Xianyu stretched out his hand and gently embraced Lin Miaomiao's waist, but he didn't dare to use force because the silver ornaments on the Miao costume were still a little soft.

"Nonsense, when did I ever put a spell on you?"

Lin Miaomiao put her arms around Wu Xianyu's neck. Her fair arms were revealed from the sleeves of her Miao costume. Against the backdrop of the bright red clothes, Lin Miaomiao's skin looked even whiter and tenderer.

"Then how come I'm poisoned by the love for you? I can't move my heart away from you."

"Pfft, hahahaha, you're so greasy."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help laughing. She sat on Wu Xianyu's lap and laughed uncontrollably.

Wu Xianyu was a little helpless. He actually thought it was okay and shouldn't be that greasy.
After admiring herself for a while, Lin Miaomiao changed her clothes. These clothes were not suitable for this season as they were too hot. The two of them carefully put the clothes into a box and packed them.

With this dress, the two felt that their summer vacation was well worth it, and they went back home directly. Because the summer vacation at Peking University is only more than 50 days, and with the round trip and the few days they stayed there, school would start soon.

Back in Jiangzhou, Wang Shengnan saw Lin Miaomiao's clothes. Although she said it was a waste of money, her eyes never left the clothes and she couldn't help but smile. Lin Dawei was even more proud, with his hands behind his back, looking at Wu Xianyu with a squint.

"Xiao Yu, Miaomiao looks pretty, doesn't she?"

"Well, she's pretty and has a good temperament, thanks to your good education, Dad."

Lin Dawei happily accepted the flattery he offered.

After resting for a few days, the two set out again and returned to the capital. The sophomores were ready to report.

After returning to school, the two of them cleaned up the dormitory with ease and let Laotie and Yuwan out. The two cats also walked around their territory very familiarly, preparing to go outside to patrol their territory.

Time went on as planned. That day, Lin Miaomiao returned to the dormitory after lunch in the cafeteria. She saw several gift boxes on her desk, and heard the voices of several roommates behind her.

"Happy birthday, Miaomiao"

"You're not a sisterly person, Miaomiao. You didn't even say hello to me on my birthday."

Lin Miaomiao looked at the gift box on the table, but didn't rush to open it. She smiled and looked at her roommates.

"This isn't just an ordinary birthday, there's no need to make such a fuss, but thank you for the gifts anyway."

"I remember Miaomiao, this is your twentieth birthday, right?"

Deng Jiachen looked at Lin Miaomiao, who had already started changing her clothes and dressing herself up, and asked a question.

Lin Miaomiao changed her clothes and nodded. She sat at the table, fixing her makeup in front of the mirror, and said nonchalantly:

"Yeah, you're not 18 yet, there's no need to take it so seriously."

"That's not necessarily the case"

Deng Jiachen slid his phone screen and said in a low voice

"I remember that women reached the legal marriage age at 20."

The dormitory suddenly became quiet. Lin Miaomiao stopped moving and looked at Deng Jiachen with an expression as if asking, "What are you talking about?"

At this time, Chang Shengyan laughed and a voice came from the upper bunk.

"It's not enough for Miaomiao to reach the legal marriage age alone. The other person must be 22 years old too."

"Oh, yes."

"Hahahaha"

Lin Miaomiao listened to the laughter of her roommates, turned her head and stuck out her tongue.
"You are just jealous that I have a partner, Lululu, three single dogs."

After saying that, Lin Miaomiao picked up her bag and ran out of the dormitory without being hit by the dolls thrown at her by her angry roommates.

After a few seconds, Lin Miaomiao quietly opened the door, took the gifts on the table in her arms, and said to the few people

"Thank you for the gift."

"You're welcome. Will you be back tonight?"

"Isn't your question redundant?"

Chang Shengyan and Deng Jiachen sang the same tune, and Lin Miaomiao couldn't get a word in.

At night, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao were having dinner in a private room of a restaurant. Lin Miaomiao looked at her phone and felt a little depressed. She asked Wu Xianyu

"Baby, why did several motorcycle bloggers I follow all get into car accidents? Is there something wrong with me, like whoever I see gets unlucky?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao speechlessly, raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Miaomiao, took a sip, and then spoke.

"Look at their speed and the protective gear they're wearing. It's not impossible that something could happen. Besides, motorcycles are made of flesh wrapped in iron, which is different from driving a car, which is made of iron wrapped in flesh."

After thinking for a while, Wu Xianyu asked Lin Miaomiao again
"Do you like the thrill of speed?"

“Fast.”

Lin Miaomiao repeated the sentence, but Wu Xianyu always felt that these words sounded a little bit improper coming from Lin Miaomiao's mouth.

Sure enough, Lin Miaomiao glanced at Wu Xianyu and said
“The frequency can be high, but the process cannot be fast.”

“Can I still eat this meal?”

Wu Xianyu reluctantly spoke up to stop Lin Miaomiao from continuing, and Lin Miaomiao chuckled.

"Hey, eat, eat. Eat enough. We have exercise tonight."

After giving Lin Miaomiao a blank look, Wu Xianyu could see that she had lost much interest in motorcycles, and continued eating.

The weather this year is much colder than last year. In Beijing, it is snowing as soon as December begins.

After a night of accumulation, the school became a world covered in white. Lin Miaomiao stood on the balcony holding a thermos cup, looking at the people playing on the playground, sighing like an old man.

"Oh, it's really more fun to watch southerners playing in the snow than to play in the snow yourself."

"Oh my god, Miaomiao, when you said that, I thought you were not from the South."

Chang Shengyan couldn't help but complain, wondering who had more fun last year.

Ignoring Chang Shengyan's complaints, Lin Miaomiao turned around and returned to the dormitory. Sure enough, the heating was still comfortable. She returned to her seat and asked everyone
"Have you been to the Ice and Snow World in Harbin? Didn't he go there last year? I heard Xingzai say it was fun."

"I've never been there. What's the point of going there? Can't you play in the snow anywhere?"

Chang Shengyan sat on the chair with a lazy tone.

"It's different there. I heard it's an amusement park built with ice. Tsk, it's fun just thinking about it."

"Just thinking about it makes my bones ache, okay?" Chang Shengyan stretched and suddenly remembered something, and whispered to Lin Miaomiao

"Let me tell you, the iron railings in the Northeast are all sweet. If you go there to play, try licking them."

Lin Miaomiao looked at Chang Shengyan with contempt

"You really take me for a fool, this joke has been going on for years, I don't want to be treated like a fool with my tongue frozen on the iron railings"

Hearing Lin Miaomiao say this, Chang Shengyan shook her head regretfully. It was a pity that she didn't succeed.

The winter vacation officially began. Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao took the two cats back to Jiangzhou, left them to their parents, and flew to Harbin without stopping.

After walking out of the airport, Lin Miaomiao, who had her down jacket open, shivered in the cold wind. She quickly put down the luggage in her hand and zipped up her clothes.

"Hiss, it's really cold, much colder than the capital."

At Wu Xianyu's strong request, Lin Miaomiao was wrapped up with only her eyes exposed, but her eyes still felt painful when the cold wind blew.

"Don't sigh yet, let's go to the hotel to put our luggage and eat something."

"Yes, yes, I need to eat something. I'm hungry."

The two hurried to the hotel, put down their luggage, and went out and walked towards the restaurants that Hu Shuo told Wu Xianyu.

On the way, Lin Miaomiao walked unsteadily, not daring to take big steps, and complained
"Aren't these supposed to be non-slip shoes? Why do they feel like they're useless?"

Wu Xianyu held Lin Miaomiao's arm with one hand, looked down at her words, and couldn't help laughing.

"Did you step on water when you went out just now? It's all frozen. Find a place to step on the ice quickly."

Lin Miaomiao looked down with difficulty, almost unable to see her feet. She was wrapped in several layers of clothes, but she still stepped on the ice on her shoes by feeling on the side of the road.

“Phew, this feels much smoother.”

“We are almost at the hotel.”

Wu Xianyu looked at the name of the restaurant in front of him and walked in with Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao looked at the dazzling menu on the wall and suddenly had difficulty making a choice. She scratched her head and looked at the boss.
"Boss, how about you recommend a few dishes? We are visiting from out of town and don't know what to eat."

"Okay, then I'll serve you some of my specialties. Girls, is there anything you don't like to eat?"

"No, I'm not picky, just do what you want."

"Okay, then you sit down, it will be ready soon."

After they sat for a while, two dishes and a large bowl of soup were served, including three fresh vegetables, stir-fried pork slices, and pickled mustard and egg soup.

Lin Miaomiao rubbed her hands, her face showing uncontrollable excitement.
"Hahaha, I can finally eat authentic Northeastern cuisine, let's get started!"

Without being asked, the two of them had already picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Lin Miaomiao took a bite of vegetable and a bite of rice, eating happily. While serving the rice, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but sighed
“The rice here tastes sweet.”

"After all, it is rice grown in black soil"

"Black soil, I know that it needs to be upgraded from yellow soil to red soil, and then to black soil, and then to gold soil."

Wu Xianyu raised his head and looked at Lin Miaomiao with a twitching mouth.

"I'm serious, you told me about the game. I haven't played FarmVille for a long time, thank goodness you still remember it."

"Hey, conditioned reflex, conditioned reflex"

The restaurant owner saw the two people taking turns to serve themselves rice and was a little worried that the two dishes and one soup might not be enough. At first, he looked at the two young people, who were both from out of town, and thought they couldn't eat much.

Turning to the chef who was looking out to see what was going on, he spoke

"Don't look at it, bring some sweet and sour pork over. If they're not full, we'll become a joke."

"Hey, these two people can eat, especially the girl, she is really rare, I wish my girl could eat like this"

The chef chatted with the boss and went back to the kitchen to start cooking.

Drinking the mustard tuber and egg soup, Lin Miaomiao ate the egg in it and couldn't help sighing

"This is not a soup, it's clearly a dish. How many eggs are in it?"

"I don't know, but this is really delicious. I'll try making it when I get back. Are you full?"

Wu Xianyu was also drinking soup. He felt that he had eaten enough and would be too full if he ate any more. He looked at Lin Miaomiao.
"Almost. I haven't eaten so much in a long time, burp~"

After a burp, the boss who came to deliver the food heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the noise. It was good that he was full.

Putting down the sweet and sour pork in his hand, the boss explained with a smile
"This dish is given to you as a gift. After all, you have come all the way here, so we want to show our appreciation by not taking up too much space in your stomach."

Seeing that it was another meat dish, Lin Miaomiao was very surprised and thanked the boss again and again.

Lin Miaomiao was so moved eating the freshly cooked sweet and sour pork
"The Northeast is so great. I want to be a Northeasterner in my next life."

Finally, the two of them walked out of the restaurant with their stomachs held. As they walked out the door, Lin Miaomiao was still sighing
"Four dishes, four dishes, less than a hundred. Do people in Northeast China use a different currency than people outside? I was dazed when I heard the boss say the prices just now. I thought I missed a digit."

"The prices here are cheap, and I heard there's a morning market. Why don't we get up early tomorrow morning and take a look?"

Wu Xianyu supported Lin Miaomiao as they walked on the road, proposing plans for tomorrow.

"It depends on the situation. It's not just for this day. You can eat it sooner or later."

Lin Miaomiao yawned. She ate a little too much and wanted to sleep.

The two had been playing in the Northeast for several days and didn't want to go home. If Wang Shengnan hadn't called to remind them that the New Year was approaching, they would have hurried back to Jiangzhou.

After the Chinese New Year, I returned to school and the weather gradually became warmer.

On this day, Mai Ju invited Lin Miaomiao and Kanmu to dinner. Strangely enough, Kanmu and Mai Ju got along very well and often chatted with each other. This time, Mai Ju invited them to Haidilao.

While eating, Mai Ju talked about his part-time job

"I found a job in an escape room. Kanmu went there last time and it was a good experience. Miaomiao, do you want to take Xianyu there to try it? I have an internal ticket."

When Kanmu heard this, he shuddered. What does a good experience mean? Is being scared to the point of being unable to stand up a good experience? Well, it does seem to be a good experience for an escape room.

After thinking about it, Kanmu felt that he should remain silent. He couldn't let himself be scared alone. Miaomiao already had a partner, so nothing should happen to her.

"Huh? You really became a female ghost. I mean, with your looks, is there really no one who wants you to act in TV or movies?"

Mai Ju curled his lips with a look of disdain
"Of course there were, but they looked like flops, so I rejected them all. My teacher was even ready to help me get in touch with someone, but I refused. I asked my teacher to help me find this job now. Well, it's funny to talk about it. You don't know the expression on my acting teacher's face when he heard that I wanted to play a female ghost, hahahaha."

"Hey! I suddenly thought of a question."

Lin Miaomiao suddenly thought of something and looked at Mai Ju with a serious expression.

"If a director now asks you to play a female ghost in a horror movie, would you agree?"

"Uh"

Mai Ju was stuck for a moment. She had never really thought about this problem.

"By the way, domestic movies and TV series nowadays don't have ghosts."
