Comprehensive film: the sweet daily life of urban drama

Chapter 146: Telling a story to Nana, Mu Ming’s strange emotions.

Chen An sorted out the story in his mind and said, "In my impression, my master has always been a strange person. He is a Taoist priest, but I have always regarded him as a charlatan in everything he does every day. So I didn't learn much from the skills he taught me. The only thing I can say about cooking is that I learned it by myself..."

Nana paused in grinding the coffee beans and listened carefully to Chen An's words.

"I don't really believe in fate, but there is one thing that I still remember vividly. One day, my master suddenly said something to me in a serious tone. I was very confused at the time and thought that my master was getting old and confused."

"He said, Xiao An, you have to rely on yourself in the future. The master can't accompany you anymore. You have followed the master for these years and have learned all my true teachings..."

"I was longing for the outside world at the time, and I was so surprised to hear that, so I asked my master if he could take me out. He shook his head and told me to go out on my own and gave me more than 2,000 yuan. I was so excited at the time. From childhood to adulthood, the most money my master had ever given me was only 20 yuan..."

"That night I had a rare sleepless night. The nervousness and excitement kept stimulating me. I kept fantasizing that when I made a name for myself in the future, I would definitely find a wife prettier than the one in Village Chief Li's family..."

"Pfft..." Nana couldn't help laughing, but she was immediately stopped by Chen An's eyes: "Xiao Chen, please continue. I just couldn't help it. What happened next?"

Chen An then continued to tell the story, "Early the next morning, after not sleeping all night, I got up quickly to make breakfast. I thought that my master had finally made a lot of money and had to make a hearty breakfast."

Chen An's expression suddenly turned bitter. "After finishing the meal, I arrived at the master's door, thinking that after having dinner with the master, I could go out and explore the world. However, after knocking for a long time, no one in the room answered..."

Nana's expression became a little nervous, "Your master..."

Chen An nodded, "You guessed right, when I opened the door, my master was already dead..."

Nana blinked, not knowing whether she should comfort Chen An.

"I was stunned at the time, and then I was very angry, very angry."

"Uh, what are you mad about?"

"He lied to me, and he lied to me again before he died..."

"What did you lie to?"

"He didn't give me money to let me go out and make a living. He was afraid that I wouldn't have enough money to bury him..."

Nana almost couldn't help it, mainly because Chen An's train of thought was a bit strange, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

After coughing, Nana asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, I found the suicide note he left for me. After reading it, I buried him. After seven days of mourning, I went to the capital with full confidence to make a living...

"Then you were chased and met her later, right?"

"Yes, when I arrived in Beijing, I thought my master said I was very capable, so I went to a park to have my fortune told, hoping to become rich and get married. But the result was that I squatted at the entrance of the park for two days, but no one came to tell my fortune, and I was chased away by the uniformed men several times."

Nana could imagine Chen An's situation at that time, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

"When I arrived in Beijing, I only had a little over 100 yuan left. So after two days of not opening the shop, I only had 3.2 yuan left in my pocket."

Nana's mouth twitched fiercely, and her eyes were full of heartache. Imagine a little Taoist priest in the big city of Beijing, with only three yuan and twenty cents on him, not to mention a place to live, he couldn't even afford to eat, and he was alone without any relatives...

"I suddenly had an idea. I saw an old man wearing sunglasses, talking nonsense, but he could make money, so I followed his example."

"When the man passed by, I sighed and said that he looked like a miserable and cowardly person. Sure enough, the man stopped and came in front of me. With a gloomy face, he asked me to tell his fortune..."

"I was already hungry for three meals, and I was almost seeing stars. But since the business came, I naturally put in my best effort. You know what happened next. I told the truth, and the guy was so angry that he wanted to beat me up, so I ran away."

"Who told you to say that? No one can stand it..."

"But I was telling the truth. That was definitely the most serious calculation I've ever done. I get angry every time I think about it. If I wasn't lucky, I would have almost died..."

"Ah, what's going on?"

"I hadn't eaten for several meals at the time, so I didn't have much energy left. So I didn't run for long. When I passed the small bridge in the park, I accidentally slipped and fell into it..."

"and after?"

"I can't swim, so after struggling for a while, I passed out. When I woke up, I saw a large group of people surrounding me. I don't know which kind-hearted person saved me..."

Nana looked at Chen An in disbelief. She had never thought that he had such a rich experience. If he didn't look like he was lying, she would have suspected that he was making up a story. Suddenly, she thought of a question. Chen An is now a relatively successful person, so what happened during this period? Driven by curiosity, Nana could only bite the bullet and ask, "What happened later..."

"At the time, I was hungry and cold, but the little money I had was not enough to do anything, so I found a hospital and prepared to sleep on a bench for the night. I bought a steamed bun the next morning to fill my stomach." Suddenly, Chen An smiled, "Everything is arranged by fate. That night, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep, and then I met her."

After a moment of silence, Chen An continued, "She looked very bad at the time, but I still remember the way she smiled at me. It was really beautiful, the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. She took me to a convenience store near the hospital to eat oden. It was the first time I knew that boiled radish could be so delicious..."

Chen An smiled with a hint of reminiscence on his face. "She was actually very silly and very cute. I still remember that she said she liked chatting with me and asked me to stay at a nearby hotel that night. I thought she wanted to give me money, but she took out her phone to scan the code. Don't you think she was silly? I was so poor that I couldn't even afford food, so where did I get a phone?"

"She was worried about me and didn't let me leave. She said that as long as I waited for her here, she would treat me to a meal tomorrow morning. The meat buns were so big that they would fill me up..." Chen An stretched out his hand and gestured, "She didn't give me a piece of cake. I ate six and a half meat buns. The buns tasted so delicious..."

Listening to Chen An's story, Nana unconsciously brought herself into the story. Her eyes unconsciously turned red. She no longer felt jealous of that woman, but only envied her. She finally understood why this guy had that expression every time he mentioned her...

Nana took out a tissue and handed it to Chen An. Chen An wiped the corners of his eyes. For some reason, his emotions suddenly became out of control...

Nana was very curious about what happened between the two of them later, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly remembered a question. Xiao Chen said that he saw that woman in the hospital late at night, and that woman didn't look very well at the time. Could it be? Thinking of something, her eyes became ambiguous, and her eyes looking at Chen An became softer...
