As a Gemini boy, I have had a dual personality since birth. But fortunately, although we are an extrovert and an introvert, there are many different views on things, but in the face of differences we can discuss, tolerate each other, there is no big conflict, in general, get along well. There is only one thing we can never reach a consensus: tofu brain should eat sweet or salty. We both believe that this matter is the bottom line of life, there is no possibility of compromise and concession, often in the restaurant order when the fight is as strong as a rainbow, fight to the death. Of course, in the view of outsiders, this is just a selection of dyslexic patients in the late stages of the menu freak out just. Then we met a girl online, who surprisingly at the same time with our daily preferences are unexpectedly compatible, no matter which of the two personalities is responsible for chatting with her, can talk with her tasty, can not be finished. Soon we couldn't resist the urge to meet her in person and mustered up the courage to invite her to meet offline. While she agreed to meet, she set the meeting place at a bean curd store. They sell both savory and sweet ones. When she hesitated over the menu, we were both very nervous and our hearts were beating twice as fast. This is a good-looking and affectionate girl, perfectly in line with our beautiful imagination of lovers, just one look at her shallow smile coy look, we both heart to melt. And her choice of bean curd flavor is the outcome of the future of our lives. One to hell, one to heaven. How can not nervous! The girl also seemed to have a bit of difficulty deciding between sweet and salty tofu brains, and was torn between them for a long time before finally pointing to the waiter's menu, "I'd like this one, please." She chose the sweet one! I was overjoyed to have sweet tofu brains, while I was heartbroken to have salty tofu brains, and hid deep into my consciousness to cry. The girl and I then ordered the sweet tofu brains and we ate and chatted, and given that we are both introverts, we didn't say much, but just sitting together made us feel especially relaxed and comfortable. This must be true love! The girl went to the bathroom in the middle of the wait for her to come back in just a few minutes, I've been fantasizing about a better future with her, and even eat into the mouth of the bean curd brain are particularly sweet. Then she came back, sitting across the table with a big grin, grinning at me, even the sound of speech is raised a little: "Sorry ha, wait a long time, right." I don't know if it's just me, but she seems a little different in temperament from the quiet one. I just saw her look down at the bean curd brain in front of her, frowned, pushed the bowl away, and didn't eat any more. "Haha, sweet bean curd brain is really not my thing." She looked up at me and laughed brightly twice, "By the way, where were we just talking about?" "Constellations." I stared at the bowl of disliked sweet tofu brains, my heart inexplicably flashed with a hint of trepidation. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, horoscope." She greeted the waiter and came over to reorder the bowl of salty tofu brains, smiling at me again. "What a coincidence, I'm a Gemini, just like you."
