If Only I Could Do It Again

Li An was shocked and could not speak.

He could actually see the options on the food menu?

Then, he fell into a dilemma.

If this option was changed to a different time and place, he would not hesitate to choose "grow two centimeters taller".

As for the one million yuan, he was not in a hurry.

Li An was 1.73 meters tall. This had always been a pain in his heart.

He was two centimeters short of perfection!

However, in such an environment, the correct answer to this option was clearly "ancient literature proficiency". It was precisely because of this occasion that it appeared.

'I choose "ancient literature proficiency".'

Li An spoke in his mind.

The words on the menu were blurry, and then it turned into an ordinary menu again.

Then, Li An felt a sense of understanding appear in his heart. In an instant, he "remembered" some things.

Countless poems and ancient texts seemed to have been firmly engraved in his mind.

Liu Shishi tilted her head. She seemed to have discovered that Li An had become even more "handsome". Perhaps it could not be said to be "handsome". It was indescribable. Was it his temperament?

Li An also had a strategy to deal with it in his mind. He raised his head and said lightly, "But Confucius also said that a gentleman learns to love someone, right?"

Liu Shishi's probing was interrupted and she asked, "You misinterpreted Confucius's words. His 'love' should include a wider range of feelings, including love, friendship, and more."

Li An's expression did not change as he smiled lightly, "But you can't deny that love is also a type of noble emotion. If you want to eliminate love, won't you lose a part of yourself?"

Liu Shishi smiled. "You're right."

At this moment, the waiter served the milk toast and Ice Fire Pineapple Bun.

Li An was actually indifferent to milk toast. He felt that it was like pouring a layer of Ovaltine on a piece of toast, but the pineapple bun smelled quite fragrant.

The pineapple bun had already been served with two pieces of cheese.

"Shishi, eat first," Li An said, knowing that Liu Shishi was hungry.

Liu Shishi swallowed her saliva. At this moment, she did not care about how Li An addressed her. She put on a disposable glove and opened a hole in the pineapple bun. She placed the cheese inside and took a bite.

Li An did the same. The pineapple bun was just out of the oven. It was hot and accompanied by cold cheese, so it felt like ice and fire. This was probably the reason for its name.

Next, the dishes were quickly served. The platters of roasted duck and goose, shrimp dumplings, and avocado salad were all served.

When Liu Shishi ordered the dishes, she did not ask what Li An had ordered. However, when she saw the dishes being served, the corners of her eyes curled up. It seemed that these were items she liked.

After filling his stomach, Li An threw out a topic and said, "A while ago, Li Bai's fans and Bai Juyi's fans fought. Do you know?"

Liu Shishi smiled and nodded. "I know. I specially went to watch it. The netizens are really too talented."

"I think so too. Then which side are you on?" Li An asked. He decided that whichever side Liu Shishi stood on, he would stand on the other side and tease her.

"I'm not on either side. I like both their poems, and I don't pay much attention to their pointless disputes." Liu Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled before asking, "What about you?"

"Me? I prefer Li Bai's poems." Li An did not know her preference and could only tell the truth.

Liu Shishi tasted the salad with a spoon and said, "Then I prefer Su Shi's poem."

Li An's eyes lit up and he immediately shook his head. "With all due respect, Su Shi is still inferior to Li Bai."

Liu Shishi's smile slowly disappeared. "Why do you say that?"

"What do you mean why?" Li An said in confusion, "Isn't it obvious?"

Liu Shishi put down her knife and fork, and a smile appeared on her face again. However, this smile seemed to have a deeper meaning, "I can't agree with this statement. Song Shenzong once said, 'Although Li Bai has Su Shi's talent, he doesn't have Su Shi's knowledge'. The Su family has three geniuses. In comparison, Li Bai is still a little inferior in terms of literary foundation…"

After Liu Shishi finished speaking, Li An calmly said, "I think Su Shi's words are indeed gorgeous, but he's inferior to Li Bai in terms of spirit. They're not from the same dynasty, but Li Bai's achievements are clearly higher. As the person who gathered all the achievements, how can Su Shi compare…"

After Li An finished speaking, Liu Shishi spoke calmly again. Although their words were a little cold, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. It was not a debate, but more like gossip. Liu Shishi's eyes lit up.

Therefore, the two of them became more and more enthusiastic. They did not notice that a boy at the table beside them was secretly holding his phone and recording.

The boy originally wanted to hear what they were talking about so enthusiastically. At first, he thought that they were talking about gossip and celebrities, but when he heard their conversation, he felt that he would not be able to answer them if he spoke to them.

On the other hand, Liu Shishi and Li An's debate seemed to have gradually deviated and became more and more excited.

"Su Shi only knows how to make some food. Can't he be a little more ambitious…"

"What about Li Bai? Wasn't he still demoted?"

"Please understand it well. That's not a demotion, that's resignation. 'If the emperor doesn't call me personally, I'll let myself be a wine immortal'. Do you understand what this means?"

"Li Bai was lucky to encounter the flourishing Tang Dynasty. What about Su Shi? The Northern Song is weak. If only…"

Li An was excited from chatting and his desire to win rose. He took the opportunity to stand up and sit beside Liu Shishi. At this moment, she actually did not reject him and only pulled away slightly.

Gradually, not only did the boy beside them discover their conversation, the entire restaurant seemed to have gradually quietened down, especially the surrounding guests who listened to the two of them debate.

The waiter often came over to pour water and walked back to share it with his gossipy colleagues in a daze.

"I don't care. I like Su Shi!" Gradually, Liu Shishi discovered that she could not keep up with Li An's thoughts and progress. She discovered that she was actually speechless!

She bit her lip lightly and spoke in a fit of pique.

Only then did Li An discover how valuable the "ancient literature proficiency" option was. A mere Liu Shishi was not his match at all.

The girl was really amusing. Li An smiled and touched her head, saying, "Alright, alright, alright. I understand. Let's leave this place first. There are many people watching."

Liu Shishi's hair was very smooth. He did not know if she had used any hair conditioner, but it felt good to touch.
