Private kitchen in the old alley.

When Lin Chuan pushed the door open and walked in, Xia Ruobing was already sitting at the table by the window.

Her hair was loose and she was wearing a thin off-white sweater with sleeves rolled up to her wrists.

There was a glass of lemonade in front of me. There were water droplets on the wall of the glass for a while.

Lin Chuan pulled out a chair and sat down.

The two people met their eyes.

After two seconds, she spoke first.

"You've lost weight."

"One hundred and four in high school, one hundred and five now. Where have you lost weight?"

"It's not the figure." Xia Ruobing lowered her head and stirred the lemonade."It's the face. The edges and corners are deeper than before."

"That's called maturity."

"...whatever you say."

The waiter came and handed the menu.Lin Chuan flipped through two pages and pointed out the names of several dishes.

Braised pork, noodles with scallion oil, stir-fried river shrimps, pickled fish.

"You're still the same." Xia Ruobing looked at him with her chin propped up.“Order the braised pork for any occasion.”

"If the high school cafeteria had braised pork, I could eat three bowls of rice in a row."

"It's because you call the vegetable auntie 'Auntie' every time, so I only give you two slices of meat."

"That's pretty much it."

"It's much different."

Both men laughed.

After laughing, the atmosphere relaxed for the most part.

"Linchuan, what are you doing now?"

"Investment."

"Zhang Hu told me that you opened a very big company in Shanghai."

"It's okay, I won't starve to death."

Xia Ruobing raised her head.

"You came in a Bentley. I saw one parked at the entrance of the alley before I entered."

Lin Chuan did not deny it.

"That means I won't starve to death."

"A car can't be used as food."

Xia Ruobing shook her head and didn't ask any more questions.

She's not stupid.That day at the French restaurant in Xujiahui, where Lin Chuan sat, what he wore,

The unnamed watch on my wrist, but it doesn't look cheap at first glance - when put together, the answer is already very clear.

But she didn't want to talk about money.At least not today.

The dishes are coming one after another.The aroma of braised pork wafted over, and the two people's attention was diverted.

Lin Chuan picked up a piece of meat, chewed it twice, and nodded."This chef's shop."

"Tell me about these years." Xia Ruobing put down her chopsticks.

"How did you come to Shanghai from your hometown?"

"Come out and work hard. I did everything at the beginning. I was lucky and caught a few opportunities."

"Linchuan, you've been fond of saying things like 'it's okay' and 'good luck' since high school. Do you think others can't hear it?"

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"The truth."

Lin Chuan put down his chopsticks.

"The truth is - I have suffered a lot, fallen a lot, and met some people who are not human beings,"

"There were some bizarre experiences, and then it just kept moving forward until now."

Xia Ruobing didn't answer.

Several seconds passed.

"You don't seem like someone who's going to suffer."

"That's now." Lin Chuan picked up the last bite of noodles in the bowl.

"In the past, you suffered more losses than you imagined."

It was quiet for a while.

"What about you?" Lin Chuan raised his head."Why did you come to Shanghai?"

Xia Ruobing held the cup and turned her fingers around the rim.

"I studied in college in Wuhan. After graduation, I went back to my hometown for a year and couldn't find a decent job."
