Love is like a dream

I helped her put on her clothes, put on her hat and sunglasses, and reluctantly sent her out. All the time was spent waiting for her to come back from work.It was still early, and it was too late last night, so I sent her away, and I fell asleep again. When I woke up, I looked at my watch and I was shocked. It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning.

I checked the unread message on my phone, it was from Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen: Jasmine, my sisters laughed at me for having dark circles under my eyes today, and even asked me who I was fooling around with last night.

Me: Then how do you answer?

Xiao Zhen: I said that I was fooling around with the lover of my dreams, hahaha!

Me: This person will also believe it?

Xiao Zhen: Of course I don’t believe it, just kidding, if I didn’t take the initiative to tell them, they wouldn’t ask too much about these private matters.

Me: Well, you must keep your mouth shut and keep it secret, I don’t want to expose it.

Xiao Zhen: Alright, no, I will go to work again, remember to eat by yourself at noon.

me: ah.

I’m a little hungry. After washing up, I changed into my clothes and planned to go out for dinner. I also wanted to stroll around casually to experience Taipei in winter. I remember singing a song. When I came to Taipei to watch the rain in winter, when I walked outside Only then did I realize that it was drizzling rain, and I didn't bring an umbrella, but fortunately, the rain was as thin as fog, so I didn't get wet.

There are many stalls and shops selling all kinds of snacks in the streets and alleys of Taipei, and the price is very close to the people. You can buy it for about ten yuan a piece, which is similar to the consumption in Beijing. Taiwan’s beef noodles are very famous. I saw a signboard of an old shop on the street, so I went in and ordered a bowl. It was not much different from the Taiwanese beef noodles I ate in Beijing. There were round, thick, light yellow noodles like pasta. , and there are large pieces of braised beef stewed until soft, and the soup is also very tasty.

After I ate a bowl of beef noodles, I started to wander around the street. I saw someone selling fresh-cut fruit and bought a box. I like this kind of fresh-cut fruit very much. It is more common It is lotus mist and guava, about 20 yuan and [-] yuan a box. They are packed in a plastic transparent box or bag. The store will attach a bamboo stick for easy eating, and usually ask what is inside. Don’t add plum powder. It turns out that people here are used to adding plum powder when they eat fruits. I also added it when I went to the countryside. The plum powder is sour and paired with sweet fruits. It has a different flavor, which is not bad.

It may be because of local production. I always feel that the fruits in Taiwan are much sweeter than the ones bought in Beijing supermarkets. I remember that I bought lotus mist at Wal-Mart before. The difference is huge.

Unknowingly, I wandered to the famous 101, which is a thin and tall building that looks like a tower. Just like its name, it has 101 floors. I went inside and walked around. There are some businesses and restaurants, which are not much different from domestic commercial buildings. After coming out of 101, I wandered around the nearby squares and streets.

After shopping around two o'clock in the afternoon, I was a little tired, so I went back to the hotel, only to find that I was lost!I quickly sent a message to Xiaozhen: Woohoo, Xiaozhen, I'm lost and I can't find my way back to the hotel.

Xiao Zhen: Little idiot, tell me where you are now.

Me: At the entrance of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Commercial Building.

Xiao Zhen: Why did you go there?

Me: I just wandered here, please tell me how to get there!

Xiao Zhen: I can't say a word clearly, you can take a taxi back to the hotel, I'm a little tired walking back.

Me: Huh, I only brought [-] yuan for lunch when I came out, and I bought a box of fruit on the way... Now I have no money to take a taxi...

Xiao Zhen: Idiot, don’t take more with you when you go out.

Me: I didn't expect to walk so far and get lost...

Xiao Zhen: Don’t worry, you go ahead along this road first, go to the front intersection and turn left, then cross a T-junction and then turn right, it will take about half an hour to walk back, or… you Let's play in the mall for a while, I'll call it a day and pick you up?

Me: I'd better go back to the hotel. I'm tired from shopping in the mall. Don't worry. I'll walk slowly. If you can't find your way, just ask passers-by. You can go ahead.

Xiao Zhen: Okay, send me a message if you need something.

I walked and inquired all the way, and finally returned to the hotel after walking for nearly 50 minutes. After sending a message to Xiaozhen, I was so tired that I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I was sleeping soundly, when I was awakened suddenly by the doorbell, I frowned, got out of bed in a daze, and asked through the door, "Who?"

A low voice echoed from outside: "Idiot, who else but me."

I opened the door: "Are you finishing work so early today?"

She walked in and picked me up: "Little sleepy, it's 5 o'clock, and I'm still sleeping."

Me: "Ah, I walked for several hours in the afternoon, so tired."

Xiao Zhen: "It's so boring to go shopping by myself, how about I take you shopping at night?"

Me: "Okay, where are we going?"

Xiao Zhen: "Can I take you to Ximending to buy clothes?"

Me: "Buying clothes, I have clothes to wear, or I don't need them, I want to go to the night market, can you take me there?"

Xiao Zhen: "Okay, okay, it's early today, let's drive to the night market in Keelung."

Me: "Oh, isn't Shilin closer?"

Xiao Zhen: "It's too close. Let's go a little farther, but it's not too far. Let's drive on the highway for more than half an hour."

Me: "Okay, listen to you."

Sitting in the car, she was holding the steering wheel with her left hand, and her right hand would reach out to touch my chin and pinch my face from time to time. Seeing in the mirror my blushing face because of her random touching, she kept laughing.

Xiao Zhen: "I thought I was a shy person, and you are shyer than me."

Me: "Woman, can you drive your car well? It's so annoying to pinch and pinch."

Xiao Zhen: "You think I'm annoying, see if I go back tonight and take care of you."

Me: "Hmph! When I'm full, I'll clean you up!"

I read the information before and said that Taiwan’s night markets are always very popular no matter what season it is. As expected, it was really difficult to find a parking space when I arrived. After wandering around for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at a place several hundred meters away from the night market. I found an underground parking lot in the local area, parked the car, Xiaozhen put on her hat and mask and went out, and asked me to wear a mask too. I said it was going to be dark soon, and I was going to the night market to eat, so I decided not to wear it. Well, she said yes.

Sure enough, it was crowded with people. There were two long rows of yellow lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, which was very spectacular. Many popular food stalls were crowded with people queuing up. Xiao Zhen pointed to a stall selling nutritious sandwiches and said : "This is delicious, let's buy it and eat it."
