Chapter 31253127【Prescribe the right medicine to the case】


    "The Catcher in the Rye" by David Salinger, "The Little Prince" by Oscar Wilde, "The Graduate" by Charles Weber, "On the Road" by Jack Karouac..." Mary then noticed, Xiang Nan Books placed on bookshelf.


    ?These books are her favorite to read.


    Mary is a spiritual gypsy girl who longs for a life of freedom, spontaneity and adventure. So she likes to run around, even if she follows Bourne on the run and faces life-threatening threats at any time, she is still happy with it.


    If it were other girls, they might not be able to last even a month if they had to live a life of wandering around and not knowing where death was coming from.


    "Bob Dylan''s "Ringing It All Back Home", Pink Floyd''s "The Wall", David Boy''s "Outside 1995"..." Mary then noticed the CD on the shelf.


    ?Those singers, those bands, and those albums were all her favorites, which made her have a good impression of Xiang Nan.


    Xiang Nan keenly observed that Mary was paying attention to the books and CDs he placed on the bookshelf, and couldn''t help feeling secretly proud.


    The books and CDs on the bookshelf were specially prepared by him. He knew that Mary liked these books and these albums, so he deliberately bought them and placed them there.


    The purpose is to use the same preferences to shorten the distance with Mary. And apparently, this approach works.


    “Jannis Joplin’s “Pearl”?” Mary suddenly said in surprise.


    ? Janis Joplin was the most individual rock star in the United States in the 1960s. Her singing voice was hoarse and wild, her style was wild and bold, her style was improvisational and wild... In the 1960s, she could be said to be unique.


    ?However, life is like a play, and play is like life. She was just as passionate and unrestrained off the stage as she was on the stage, and she eventually died of a drug overdose at the age of twenty-seven.


    Because her acting career is very short and her style is too extreme, people who love her can''t put it down, and people who don''t like her can''t even watch it. Therefore, the number of albums is not high, and few people even know her.


    It was the first time for Mary to meet fans who liked her besides herself.


    "Yes, I think her singing speaks to my heart, and I like it very much." Xiang Nan nodded.


    "Really?! I like it too." Mary said in surprise. It was great to meet a close friend. "Unfortunately, my CD was lost when I moved."


    "If you like it, you can borrow my music to listen to it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “That’s so embarrassing.” Mary waved her hand.


    "It doesn''t matter, good music must be shared with everyone." Xiang Nan said emotionally, "I''m very happy to meet someone who likes Janis."


    “Well, thank you.” Hearing what he said, Mary was even more moved.


    …


    Subsequently, Mary took Janis’s album, coffee machine, electric iron, etc. home with her.


    “Here, let me help you move it.” Xiang Nan also picked up the TV.


    “Thank you, you are so kind.” Mary smiled.


    "You''re welcome." Xiang Nan said, then helped her move to the opposite side, "Can I put it here?"


    “Okay, thank you.” Mary nodded.


    "You''re welcome. If you have nothing to do, I''ll leave first." Xiang Nan waved his hand.


    “Okay, thank you.” Mary thanked her again.


    I have a very good impression of this kind, generous and gentle neighbor.


    …


    The next day, after get off work, Mary knocked on Xiang Nan''s door.


    “Hello, thank you for sending me so many things yesterday. I brought some cakes from the restaurant where I work.” She said sincerely.


    "Thank you, you''re so kind." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Have you eaten? I''m about to eat. If you don''t mind, can we eat some together?"


    "Okay, thank you." Mary was stunned and nodded.


    Xiang Nan let her into the room, and then served the prepared beef stew with pickled cabbage. Probably because they are at the same latitude, the food tastes of Germans are very similar to those of Northeasterners. They all like to eat sauerkraut, blood sausage, pork knuckles, potatoes, and stews...


    Xiang Nan’s sauerkraut and beef stew is a home-cooked dish in Germany.


    “Wow, it smells so good~” Mary sniffed it and said with a smile.


    “How does it taste?” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.


    ?Mary took a taste and immediately narrowed her eyes.


    Xiang Nan makes sauerkraut stewed beef. The tender gravy, rich meat aroma, and refreshing sauerkraut make it warm in your mouth. It is really a very delicious experience.


    ??The stew her grandma made was even more delicious than when she was a child.


    “Wow, it’s delicious~” Mary said in surprise.


    Xiang Nan couldn''t help laughing when he saw her saying this.


    He knew that Mary was of German descent, born in Hanover, and left her hometown after she was twenty years old, wandering around.


    ?After so many years of wandering around without a fixed place to live, the food she longs for most must be the taste of her hometown. That''s why he specially made this dish.


    Just marinating the beef took him two days to make the beef taste better. It can be said to be the culmination of his hard work. Now that he saw her eating so happily, he suddenly felt that the effort was worth it.


    …


    The two of them were eating and chatting.


    “What do you do?” Mary asked.


    "I have done many jobs. I have been a fashion designer, a hairdresser, a makeup artist, an actor''s stand-in, a chef, a surfing instructor, a diving instructor, a fisherman..." Xiang Nan laughed. said.


    “Wow~” Xiang Nan’s rich experience made even Mary admire him.


    She can handle it herself. I traveled from Northern Europe to Southern Europe, from Western Europe to Eastern Europe. The longest I stayed was only a few months. I also worked in many jobs, but none of them were as rich as Xiangnan.


    Xiang Nan then told her some experiences.


    For example, when you are a fisherman, you are almost knocked into the water by a huge wave; when you are a stand-in for a celebrity, you accidentally see a star cheating; when you are doing diving training, you are almost stung by a swarm of jellyfish...


    He is proficient in fishing, performing arts, diving, etc. and has rich experience.


    ?In addition, he is very eloquent, and he can tell ordinary little things in a thrilling and interesting way, not to mention all the anecdotes he tells.


    ?This is like a good chef getting bear paws, flying dragons, lobsters, and shark fins. The dishes he makes will naturally taste better and be more attractive.


    Therefore, when Mary listened to the stories he told, she was sometimes surprised, sometimes worried, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad, empathetic, and intoxicated.


    “It’s really great, I want to feel it.” She said with infinite longing.


    ?Although she has traveled to many places over the years and has had many wonderful experiences, she seems to be far behind compared to Xiang Nan.


    “There is a chance.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.


    “Then what are you doing here?” Mary asked curiously.


    “I want to be a street performer.” Xiang Nan explained, “I wrote some songs and I hope I can sing them to everyone to see if there are any close friends.”


    “Okay, can I listen?” Mary’s eyes lit up and she asked with a smile.


    She once dreamed of being a wandering artist, singing wherever she went, so that her singing could be heard all over the world. It''s just that her talents are really not up to par. She''s good at almost nothing in composing, singing, and playing.


    ?So she had to give up this dream in the end, so when she heard that Xiang Nan wanted to be a street performer, she was very excited.
