Li Zhimeng sent an impolite emoticon.
Wang Ge recalled that September 12 seemed to be the time when Li Zhimeng’s small treasury was defrauded and she asked him to borrow money to buy a plane ticket to return home.
It was too long ago, so he wasn't sure, so he asked.
Li Zhimeng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it was at that time. I think I went out that time in September."
The reason why she didn't go out later was naturally because all her money was cheated away, and she still owed Wang Ge several thousand yuan, so she had no money to go out and play.
"Why didn't you tell me about this when you borrowed money from me?"
Wang Ge asked casually.
"Ah?" Li Zhimeng was puzzled. "What is there to say about this?"
"Tell me, let me know that you helped my girlfriend, it will definitely increase the chances of successfully borrowing money."
"I didn't tell you, but you still lent me the money."
Li Zhimeng waved her hand nonchalantly, "Although you are boyfriend and girlfriend, it doesn't mean you are bound together. She is she and you are you. This is different."
"alright."
Wang Ge didn't care and returned the phone to Li Zhimeng, "I'll give it back to you next time."
Chen Yanxi is still around, and we can’t ignore her because of Gu Panyan and Li Zhimeng’s matter.
"Humph, what do you think I am? You can watch if you want to, and you can not watch if you don't want to? And you even ignored me on purpose before."
Li Zhimeng made a face at him and said, "I won't show it to you next time, okay~"
Chapter 198 Fried Centipede
Hearing Li Zhimeng talking about what happened before, Wang Ge coughed awkwardly.
He decisively changed the subject and asked, "Do you have classes this afternoon?"
“There are two classes.”
Li Zhimeng said indifferently, "But it's okay, I'm free now."
"Won't the teacher call the roll?"
"That teacher calls the roll randomly. I don't know if he will call the roll in this class."
"Just be a gambler?"
"That's right!"
Li Zhimeng snorted, "If I win the bet, I'll be cool and carefree. If I lose the bet, I'll fail the course. Next year, I'll be a brave man who will take the course again with my junior classmates!"
"As expected of you."
Wang Ge gave her a thumbs up, turned his head and saw Chen Yanxi looking down at his phone, so he leaned over to take a look.
"Its main diet consists of various living insects, such as crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches..."
Wang Ge read the contents on the phone word by word, looking confused, "What are you looking at, Xixi?"
Chen Yanxi swiped the content on his phone to the top so that he could see the title.
"How can I keep... spiders?"
Wang Ge was shocked. "How did you think of raising spiders?"
"It's not that I want to raise one."
Chen Yanxi shook his head. "Someone gave me one, and I want to take good care of it."
"My sister gave it to me!"
Li Zhimeng raised her hand and gestured in the air, "In addition to a spider, there is also a pink and white little snake."
"Your sister? Which one?"
"She's the owner of the cat cafe where you work as a cram school teacher."
Wang Ge recalled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, that one is called Jin, right?"
"Yeah, that's her."
Li Zhimeng nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Originally, in addition to the spider and the snake, there was also a lizard, but Yanyan didn't want it."
"It's relatively easy to raise spiders and snakes, but lizards are a bit more troublesome. I'm afraid I can't raise them well."
Chen Yanxi explained.
Spiders, snakes, lizards... Wang Ge was silent for two seconds, "Your sister's pet... is quite unique."
"Oh, my sister has loved these reptiles since she was a child."
Li Zhimeng laughed and narrated, "When I was a child, I lived in an orphanage. The conditions at that time were relatively poor and the place I lived in was not very good. There were a lot of small insects in the summer, so my sister caught several jumping spiders and put them in our dormitory. After a few days, we rarely saw those small insects anymore. We all admired her very much."
Wang Ge turned around and asked Chen Yanxi, "What kind of spider is a jumping spider?"
"It seems to be a spider belonging to the order Araneae, suborder Neoarthrix. It has a strong jumping ability and is one of the smartest spiders. It has a certain memory ability, good eyesight, and a strong curiosity."
Chen Yanxi said as he recalled the contents of the books he had read.
Li Zhimeng added, "My sister said that if a spider turns around and stares at you after it spots you, and even makes eye contact with you, then it must be a jumping spider!"
"so."
Wang Ge nodded thoughtfully and asked casually, "Does your sister usually keep these?"
"More than that."
She counted on her fingers, "In addition to these, she also raised mantises, scorpions, centipedes, turtles, frogs, hermit crabs, and so on, all kinds of reptiles."
"Well, and my favorite, the super super cute Axolotl!"
Uh……
Wang Ge muttered to himself, indeed, compared with the axolotls, scorpions and centipedes, they are simply adorable.
He seemed to understand something again, and asked curiously, "Does she raise cockroaches?"
After all, girls seem to be quite afraid of this creature.
"Of course I do."
Li Zhimeng said as a matter of course, gesturing with her hands, "We raise all kinds of cockroaches, including the smaller northern cockroaches and the big flying southern cockroaches... Well, they are all raised as food. The small cockroaches are eaten by spiders, and the big cockroaches are eaten by mantises."
Wang Ge was shocked and didn't know what to say.
"In addition to cockroaches, there are also mice and various other small insects. They are all raised as food. My sister said this is to ensure the nutritional balance of the reptiles... She even raises flies!"
Li Zhimeng stretched out her hands and gestured, "Especially in the summer, such a big glass tank is full of flies. My sister often puts small lizards, small spiders, small frogs and so on in it for a buffet."
Wang Ge imagined the scene and felt a chill. He gestured to stop: "Okay, stop talking. If you continue, I won't be able to eat."
"Hehe, it's actually quite interesting."
Li Zhimeng laughed and stuck out her tongue, "But I still prefer furry cats and dogs. They feel very comfortable to touch. Most of the things my sister raise are not allowed to be touched. They are poisonous and will bite people."
"Uh, I remember there seemed to be fried centipedes in the south. Are they delicious?"
"It's okay. I don't really like it anyway." Li Zhimeng said.
"Have you tried it?" Wang Ge asked.
"Yes." Li Zhimeng nodded as a matter of course, "I've also tried fried scorpions, fried bamboo worms, and fried grasshoppers, but they didn't quite suit my taste."
Wang Ge was shocked.
"Hehe, when traveling, if you don't experience the local specialties, the trip will not be complete, so I have eaten a lot of weird things." Li Zhimeng said with a smile.
Chen Yanxi thought for two seconds, "Fried centipedes are rich in protein, can detoxify and reduce phlegm, dredge meridians and relieve pain, and also have the effect of fighting brain tumors."
Wang Ge was shocked again: "How do you know? Have you eaten it too?"
"I saw it in a book, I forgot which book it was, it may not be correct."
Chen Yanxi recalled, "It seems that the content is that the heroine has a brain tumor, and then the hero goes to the mountain to catch a lot of centipedes and deep-fry them for her to eat."
"and then?"
Li Zhimeng asked curiously, "Is it cured?"
"No."
Chen Yanxi adjusted his large-framed glasses and said calmly, "Because the male protagonist did not completely remove the poison, the two of them were admitted to the hospital together."
"Pfft..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Wang Ge and Li Zhimeng burst into laughter.
"Xixi, I didn't expect you to read that kind of book, hahaha..."
Wang Ge said with a laugh.
"It's actually a pretty sad novel. The heroine dies in the end, and the hero calmly accepts the ending and sets up a new family through a blind date. But in fact, the real hero has died with the heroine, leaving behind only a soulless body... The main theme of the novel is probably that no matter how hard people try, they can't resist fate."
Chen Yanxi said calmly, "The joy in the middle is just to make the sadness at the end seem heavier."
Chapter 199 Pain and happiness
We chatted casually about some inexplicable nonsense, and soon the waiter brought the barbecue.
Li Zhimeng originally wanted to take a photo with Wang Ge and Chen Yanxi and post it on WeChat Moments, but then he thought that Gu Panyan might see it, so he gave up the idea and instead blinked his big eyes and asked: " Would you like some ice-cold spleens?"
"You think it's summer, it's still cold, and you don't have to worry about diarrhea."
Wang Ge rolled his eyes.
"...it tastes good chilled."
Li Zhimeng whispered.
Wang Ge ignored her, picked up a mutton skewer and tasted it, "Well, this tastes really good..."
"Then let's get something to drink..."
