"Chao Ke, do you want to chat for a while?"
"Okay, you decide what topic we want to talk about, senior."
"Hmm...why don't we start with the word [chat]?"
"【chat】?"
Chao Ke looked at Senior Falushan in confusion, wondering why she chose such a topic to start with.
Falushan spoke and answered Chao Ke's questions.
“As a scholar of the epistemology school, my study of language and writing is almost subconscious.”
"I once thought about why we should use the word [chat] to chat."
"Since both rely on words to convey information, why not use [message] or [debate]?"
Chao Ke thought about it and felt that the angle of Falusan's question was indeed novel. Chao Ke had never thought about this question carefully.
“Perhaps, the purpose of [chatting] is not just to convey information, but also includes other things, such as wanting to get to know the other person better.”
Faluzan nodded. "Your point of view is very similar to mine."
"In my opinion, chatting involves not only conveying information, but also wanting to understand the other person."
“Whether it’s the other person’s preferences, mood, or opinions on certain things…share interesting things you’ve seen and heard, and share recent worries.”
"It doesn't matter what we talk about specifically. The most important thing is that we want to get to know each other better."
“No matter how trivial the topic is, it is worth caring about in the eyes of those who care about you.”
Chao Ke shook his senior's hand and expressed his presence.
Chao Ke could feel that the senior in front of him tonight was particularly emotional.
Falusan sighed as Chao Ke held her in his arms.
"Ah, I'm ashamed to say that I used to not stop and think about the meaning of [chat] like this."
"At that time, I always locked myself in my room to do research. Even when I was traveling abroad to study, I always kept the emails I sent to my family, teachers and friends simple and concise..."
"I dare say that I am a qualified scholar and I am worthy of this title."
"But I am not a qualified daughter, a qualified student, or a qualified friend."
"Before, I always thought there was still a lot of time. But I didn't expect that a hundred years would pass by so quickly..."
Chao Ke hugged Falushan tightly. This was the first time that the senior confided her negative emotions to Chao Ke.
The vicissitudes of the past century, the loneliness after the departure of relatives and friends, the exclusion of her by Shravasti College, the subject she loved went from being popular in the past to being almost the only one who still adhered to it...
The senior who was extremely strong in front of outsiders finally showed her soft side in front of Chao Ke.
After a long time, Falushan patted Chao Ke gently, indicating that Chao Ke could let go.
"Thanks..."
"Feeling better?"
"Well, you know me. I don't dwell on the past."
"What I said tonight is to remind myself to cherish everything in front of me, and to value and care about...the people I love."
He smiled at Ke, gently scratched his senior's nose with his fingers, and looked lovingly at Senior Falushan's beautiful heterochromatic pupils.
"It's late, senior. We should rest."
"Ah."
Falushan nodded slightly, took a blanket from the other side of the boat and draped it over the two of them.
That night, the two of them stayed together in the boat until dawn in the east.
.....
The next day, tiny drops of water splashed on her face. Falushan slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked beside her.
Here, Chao Ke was sitting leisurely on the small boat, with one hand stretched out of the boat, constantly making circles, as if he was controlling something.
Falushan was about to stand up, but she lost her balance and staggered. Fortunately, Chao Ke was quick to catch the senior who was about to fall in his arms.
Relying on Chao Ke's strong chest to shield herself from the wind and waves, Falushan then discovered that the small boat under her feet was moving forward at an unimaginable speed.
This speed cannot be achieved by a small crescent boat, not even a speedboat equipped with mechanical devices and specialized in speed.
The water splashed on my face just now was caused by this reason.
"Chao Ke, what's going on?"
Chao Ke rubbed the senior in his arms and said with a smile, "Senior, you are not the only one who can spray water. I also have the power to control water."
"Humph! If you don't want to talk about it, forget it!"
Senior Falushan, filled with shame and anger, gently bumped her head against Ke a few times.
"Hahaha..."
Because Chao Ke increased the speed of the slow boat, the two arrived at the port of Omos early in the morning.
There is still plenty of time at this time.
So when Senior Falushan completed the procedures for returning the ship at the port, the two of them still had time for breakfast and were able to leisurely enjoy breakfast by the port.
Of course, the breakfast stall was Jahangir's food store, which Chao Ke had specially chosen.
The reason was that Jahangir had the three recipes that Chao Ke needed, namely [Green Juice Crispy Balls], [Curry Shrimp] and [Sabasan Fried Corn].
When Chao Ke and his companion approached Jahangir's stall, they were warmly received by the owner.
"Welcome, both of you. Tell me what you want to eat. If you want to cook it yourself, you can use any pot you want."
As he spoke, Jahangir pointed to a spare pot beside him, which was specially used by travelers and merchants.
"Boss, you are a very nice person, but my wife and I have come a long way, so I'd like to trouble you to cook for us."
"Hahaha, with Mora making money, it can't be considered hard work. What do you want, my guest?"
"Hmm... Let's start with some [Green Juice Crispy Balls], [Curry Shrimp], and [Sabasan Fried Wedges]."
"No problem, please take a seat, the food will be ready in a moment."
After the two sat down, Falushan beside them tugged at the corner of Chao Ke's clothes.
"Hey, Chao Ke, have you ever eaten or know about Xumi's [Green Juice Crispy Balls]?"
Chao Ke shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have never eaten it and I don't know much about the [Green Juice Crispy Balls] on the continent of Teyvat. This is my first time trying it."
"Oh?"
There was a sly glint in Falushan's eyes. "Then you must taste it carefully. You must use all your taste buds to experience the first [Green Juice Crispy Ball]."
Chao Ke's mouth twitched.
Hello, Senior Falushan, although I don’t know much about Xumi’s [Green Juice Crispy Ball], I still know its prototype.
That mysterious little green water can make Yongzi's painful mask come out. Let me taste it carefully, but you just want to laugh at me.
Chapter 193 Dalang, come and take medicine
In the grocery store, the owner Jahangir probably heard the conversation between Chao Ke and Falushan, and deliberately stopped the [Curry Shrimp] he was working on.
Instead, he took some crispy biscuits and fried them in a pan.
After the crispy cakes turned into round, golden crispy balls in the frying pan, Jahangir quickly fished them out, filled a bowl with some brightly colored mysterious green liquid, put them all on a tray, and served them to Chao Ke and the others first.
Seeing the store manager Jahangir bring out the [Green Juice Crispy Balls] first, Falushan's eyes lit up and she smiled maliciously.
The grocery store manager, Jahangir, did not rush to prepare the next dish after delivering the meals. Instead, he quietly lay in front of the counter, staring at Chao Ke's expression with interest, intending to watch the fun.
With his keen senses, Chao Ke naturally noticed the expressions of the two and smiled helplessly.
Senior Falusan seemed to be afraid that Chao Ke would go back on his word, so she "thoughtfully" taught Chao Ke how to eat this [Green Juice Crispy Ball].
For this purpose, Falushan picked up a crisp ball, poked a small hole in it, poured full of green juice into it, and said to Chao Ke.
"Come on, darling, open your mouth!"
Chao Ke's eyebrows twitched. Why did this give him the feeling of "Da Lang coming to take medicine"...
But this was food that the senior had brought to his mouth after all. After preparing himself mentally, Chao Ke still opened his mouth and allowed Senior Falushan to throw it into his mouth.
As Chao Ke chewed it a little, an incredible taste exploded in his mouth in an instant.
How to accurately describe this taste? Even if Chao Ke used all the words in his mind, it would be difficult to come to an accurate conclusion.
It has the refreshing taste brought by mint powder, the stimulation brought by various mixed spices, and the sour feeling.
Moreover, the taste of this green water is not as unified and harmonious as the dishes of Liyue, but each one has its own characteristics.
Perhaps, this complexity of taste is the "harmony" of the taste of these green waters.
"how is it going?"
Falushan stared at Chao Ke's expression curiously, wanting to see Chao Ke's distorted face.
Looking at the expectant eyes of his predecessor, Chao Ke had no choice but to present a wonderful "facial expression" performance.
Even so, the degree of curiosity of these green waters was within Chao Ke's psychological expectations.
However, although Senior Falushan just smiled, the owner Jahangir's undisguised laughter made Chao Ke feel a little unhappy.
In front of him, Chao Ke put his arms around Senior Falushan's waist and said.
"Senior, my taste buds are so uncomfortable, can you kiss me to help me relieve the pain?"
"Eh?"
Falushan glanced at Chao Ke without thinking much. She stroked Chao Ke's face and gave him a kiss.
"!"
The smile on the face of the grocery store owner Jahangir remained frozen there before it even faded.
"How can this be possible..."
Looking at the provocative look coming from Chao Ke, Jahangir suddenly realized that he seemed to have changed from being the one who was having fun to the one who was having fun...
