Extra 2: Li Man and Liu Cheng (thieves who steal hearts)
When Liu Cheng saw Li Man, she sat on the bench in the airport, constantly stroking and pulling her phone, and flew over from Shanghai. Li Man made extremely sufficient preparations, but she still seemed a little hasty.
The wind blew past Li Man's hair, and at that moment, a bright light seemed to surge towards her from all directions. She looked up and shook her hair, saw Liu Cheng's figure, and showed a familiar smile that was the same as before.
For Liu Cheng, this smile has the impact and penetration power that can melt everything.
This smile shocked all his fatigue, fear and anxiety, penetrated his feeling of being a stranger in a foreign land, and diluted all his complaints.
This smile completely turned Liu Cheng into a clean one. After the wound was patched, he was able to continue.
"Hi." Li Man shook his hand, said hello, stood up, and grabbed his suitcase.
Liu Cheng stood in front of Li Man and kept smiling.
"Why are you smirking?" Li Man's smile was a little reserved, but under Liu Cheng's hot gaze, she finally couldn't hold it anymore. She pursed her lips and whispered: "I miss you, I'll come."
"So too." Liu Cheng opened his hand, Li Man hugged Liu Cheng's waist, and hugged him very hard. He looked at each other for a while, and finally turned into smiling, as if he could never see him enough.
Liu Cheng grabbed the suitcase and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat? There are Japanese sashimi here. I don't eat raw food, and there are also burritos. It feels like pancakes."
“Of course there are also reindeer steaks from Alaska, fried catfish from the Mississippi River.”
"Their food is so oily and high in sugar, a little sweet, I don't like it very much."
Liu Cheng kept explaining the delicious and fun places in Richmond, but Li Man kept looking at him with a smile. Until this gaze made Liu Cheng feel a little numb when he saw Liu Cheng's scalp. Li Man smiled sweetly and said, "I want to eat the food you cook."
Liu Cheng laughed and couldn't help it.
He didn't know what he was laughing at, but he just wanted to laugh.
He thought seriously for a long time and said, "Kung Pao Chicken?"
"Okay." Li Man looked up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and nodded, "The sky here is so blue, but the sweet smell in the air is not very smelly."
Liu Cheng nodded with deep understanding. He had been here for three or five months, but he still couldn't get used to this sweet and tingling smell.
He said helplessly: "This is the largest tobacco dealer in the United States, and it is also an Indian hemp processing center. Poisonous insects are raging, so it has a sweet smell."
"If you come earlier, I can take you to see the mountains of Tasman National Park, hiking or cycling; if you come later, I can take you to ski on the James River, but unfortunately you are not in the right time."
Li Man looked at Liu Cheng's hair and asked with a smile: "Is it the season is not right, or is it not right for you?"
Liu Cheng laughed silently, and nodded and said, "Of course it's just the season. It's my greatest luck to be here."
"But there is the largest national battlefield ruins park here, which is considered a feature here. Only Richmond has it, and there are no other places."
Li Man smiled and said, "I'm about five kilometers away from your company. It took you only twenty minutes to arrive. Including the time you go up and down the stairs, drive, traffic lights, and parking, you're still very fast."
Li Man is a person who pays great attention to details. She called Liu Cheng and only took about twenty minutes to see Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng bought ingredients for Kung Pao chicken, chicken leg meat, cucumbers, and carrots in the vegetable market, which were all very cheap.
The reason he chose chicken leg meat instead of chicken breast is because the chicken leg meat will be more powerful.
Peel and diced chicken thighs, add cooking wine, stir well, sprinkle in raw powder and juice, and pour in appropriate amount of oil to prevent the pan from being pasted.
Light soy sauce, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, raw powder, bring in some clean water and mix well.
The peanuts are completely soaked. After peeling, they are fried with diced chicken, diced radish and cucumber.
Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry, then add pepper and red pepper, pour in the fried diced diced rice, stir-fry for a few times, then pour in the prepared sauce, then fill the sauce over high heat, and pour it into the plate.
A dish with all the colors, fragrance and flavor, and the spicy and sweet Kung Pao chicken is ready.
Liu Cheng cooked two more home-cooked dishes and placed them on the table. He saw Li Man leaning against the sofa and falling asleep in a daze.
All the uneasiness, panic and thoughts along the way, after seeing Liu Cheng again, finally fell. After these complex emotions faded, Li Man was left with only fatigue.
Liu Cheng looked at the time and it was lunch time. He went to the house to get a blanket. Richmond was already walking towards winter. The weather became colder. He leaned against the sofa and slept easily.
He made his steps as light as possible and his movements as light as possible, but the moment the blanket covered Li Man, Li Man still woke up.
"Sorry, I fell asleep."
"It smells so good!" Li Man sat upright, looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "I want to have some wine."
Liu Cheng pulled out a bottle of red wine from the wine rack. Su Yue was a very good person. She bought a lot of red wine, but later she stayed in the rental house because she was in a hurry.
After Liu Cheng came back, he took out the wine and placed it in a new rental house.
"Try it!" Liu Cheng took the soberer and wine glass, served the white rice, and said in great anticipation.
Li Man never eats food alone when she eats, she always has to go with staple food.
Liu Cheng asked Li Man why, and Li Man said that his family was not very wealthy when he was a child. If he only ate vegetables and did not eat, he would have to eat dry rice in the end.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Ah, you don't know. It took me a long time to have a good meal after you left!" Li Man finally felt satisfied after taking a few bites.
Although she was really sleepy, she still had a smile on her face, shook her body and looked at Liu Cheng with light in her eyes.
Liu Cheng poured the awakened wine into the wine glass. Liu Cheng and Li Man have a lot in common, such as they can't drink the quality of the red wine, and they only feel a little sour and sweet. In their opinion, the awakening and not awakening are very similar.
But Su Yue is different. Su Yue has her strict requirements for sobering up, and her life is more refined.
Li Man and Liu Cheng are highly compatible, so their lives do not pay so much attention to them.
"What are you watching me all the time? It's so embarrassing." Liu Cheng asked strangely.
Li Man pursed her lips and said, "I was wondering if you are a thief who steals my heart. Before stealing my heart, you will steal my stomach."
