Two rooms and one living room

At seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chen sat down at table NO.17 of Shanhai Café on time.

He gets sleepy when he wakes up early, and he always snoozes for half an hour when there is no class.Half an hour is the limit. The class he leads has too many problematic students, and if he is not in school for a while, he will definitely have a riot.

He leaned back on the back of the chair and rubbed his temples for a rare moment of relaxation. He was too late to prepare for class last night. It was rare to have no class on Friday morning and he was dragged to the blind date arranged by his mother. Things that went beyond the plan always made him feel exhausted. .

The NO.17 table is hidden behind the window, and the window is decorated with roses that Jiang Chen can't tell whether they are real flowers or fake flowers. Instead, it looks like a plastic flower.

His mother was sitting next to him, talking softly to the woman sitting across from him.It's nothing more than the parents' shortcomings, my child is not good in this way, and your child must be good here and there.

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue in his heart, and raised his hand to look at his watch. At [-]:[-], his impression of this blind date partner who was late, who was said to have agreed to come to the appointment immediately after seeing his photo, was a little lower.

He drooped his eyebrows for a moment, and after a few minutes, he suddenly heard a soft male voice from the direction of the counter behind him: "Thank you, I have an appointment."

This sound...

The man came from behind him, passed a square table, and sat opposite him.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and saw a beautiful face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.The young man was thin and his skin was extremely white, making his lips almost as gorgeous as the rose behind him.

With just one glance, the person on the opposite side lowered his head in embarrassment, revealing a section of his slender neck under his half-long hair.

Jiang Chen sat upright, and heard the woman opposite say: "This is my son, Ming Huan. Ming Huan, this is Aunt Chen and his son." Ming Huan nodded to them cautiously, and said "Hello, Auntie".

The mother patted his straight shoulder and continued with a smile: "My son, Jiang Chen. Don't look at him with a cold face all day long, he is just shy."

The two mothers looked at each other tacitly, smiled at each other, said a few more polite words, and left the cafe together a few minutes later.

Ming Huan seemed to be very nervous. He picked up the coffee that had been set in front of him and took a big sip. His face was instantly wrinkled by the bitterness—it was a cup of black coffee. Ming Huan didn't like coffee, let alone this kind of bitterness. of.

Jiang Chen saw him sticking out his tongue with his head down, but looked away but pretended he didn't see anything.If it was someone else, he could have cared and asked if he wanted a cup of sweets, but the person sitting in front of him was his blind date and ex-boyfriend.

The wind chimes in front of Shanhai Cafe jingle and jingle, and the soothing and pleasant pure music quietly envelops the silence between the two.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and took a sip of his coffee. Before he could say anything, the waiter said he was sorry and brought them two stacks of small cakes, "This is a random gift from our shop, please enjoy it slowly."

One is Black Forest and the other is Matcha Melaleuca.

Jiang Chen's eyes lingered on the two desserts for a moment, and suddenly a white hand with thin wrist bones appeared in his sight. The fingers were slender, well-proportioned, and the skin on the back of the hand was covered with clearly visible blue veins.

That hand took away the matcha mille-feuille.

Jiang Chen subconsciously chased after him, and saw Ming Huan's embarrassed expression.Those deer-like eyes glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered.

A thin layer of powder floated on the face of the opposite person, Jiang Chen clicked his tongue again in his heart and turned to look out of the window without moving the black forest.Adhering to the principle of giving face to his blind date, he waited for Ming Huan to finish eating the stack of matcha mille-feuille like a hamster before standing up.

The moment he stood up, Ming Huan also stood up in panic.Getting up too far, knocked off the silver spoon, and landed in the china, an embarrassing noise in the quiet cafe.

He looked helplessly at the guests at the table next to him who cast curious eyes because of the unembarrassed atmosphere between them, then bit his lips and looked at Jiang Chen helplessly, his fingers tangled up and down on his trousers.

Jiang Chen turned a blind eye to his eyes and small movements, and cut off his words when Ming Huan just uttered "you": "You sit for a while, I have to go first."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Ming Huan's expression, turned around and left to go to the counter to pay.

When he walked out of the cafe, Jiang Chen felt relieved.The daylight outside the cafe was just right, falling in front of him through the cold gray tall buildings.The heat was strong, but he was still wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, looking out of place in the noisy crowd of colorful people.

Back at school, Jiang Chen took out his diary to write down what happened in the morning. He was used to writing down what he did and felt every day, and as soon as he wrote a full stop, Zhu Huai called.

"Brother Shen, how about a blind date?"

Jiang Chen walked out of the office, stood in the corridor and cast his gaze into the distance, outside the city was smoky and the shadows of the mountains were hazy, he replied after a while: "It's not good."

Zhu Huai on the other end really laughed a few times, "No, I said, you have been practicing vegetarianism for several years, and you still think about the young master?"

Zhu Huai is his classmate in high school and knows a little about his high school romance.Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, "Is there anything else?" It was time to hang up the phone.

"Okay, you really don't let any jokes go. Isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Ask Ronaldinho and the others to get together?"

Jiang Chen frowned, not looking forward to his 30th birthday at all.He was not in high spirits: "Forget it, I've been busy at school these two days." With the summer vacation approaching, he had to prepare not only for the final exam but also for the placement of freshman students in high school.

"Busy, busy, you are the most busy. Your little bastards are more important than life-long events!"

Jiang Chen laughed and didn't say much on this matter, the two chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and he stood in the corridor for a while.

Jiaonan is a small city near the sea, and the smell of the sea is hidden in the wind.The water is good, the air is good, and the environment is pleasant. In the past two years, many residents from big cities have poured in, and this originally quiet town has also become lively.

Jiang Chen was dazed again this morning, remembering what Zhu Huai asked him.

"Is there a show?"

Ming Huan?Of course it is possible.

It's just that he is no longer seventeen or eighteen years old when he can stay up for two or three days because of love. He has no capital or energy.

The mother at home who is always worrying about his marriage, and the group of students at school who are always worrying about him, how can there be any energy for the little lover to think about the philosophy of love?

29-year-old Jiang Chen thought, forget it.
