ray of light cafe

Sunny morning.

Looking down from the balcony, you can see the most green garden in the center of the community.Next to the garden, there is a square swimming pool, the blue water of which is sparkling in the sun.

The balcony is adjacent to the living room.

The floor of the living room is paved with dark green marble, with only a transparent square glass panel in the middle.Under the glass plate is full of light golden fine sand, dotted with sky blue starfish, milky white shells, garnet red coral, and pebbles of various shapes.

The white gauze curtain as wide as the entire wall was blown by the morning breeze, allowing the light and shadow passing through it to sway gently on the glass floor and on the piano in front of the glass panel.

Brand new piano, black and white keys.A pair of slender and beautiful hands rested on the keys, but they just rested and did not move.

Wen Jingxi rested his hands on the piano, was barefoot, and was wearing gray jeans with rolled edges. The sun shone down on his ankles, making them warm.

He is in a daze.

Tao Fu came out of the bedroom and saw him sitting in front of the piano, staring sideways at the light and shadow of the gauze curtain in a daze.Seeing him wearing a white T-shirt and an open denim blue shirt, he looked like a refreshing high school student.

Tao Fu stood by the stairs, looking at him, waiting for him to play the piano, wanting to listen.

After many minutes, he was still in a daze and didn't play the piano.

The room was very quiet, and after a while, abrupt music sounded.

It's a passionate prelude, lyrical and sensational, and the opening scene is still humming by a bel canto female voice.

Tao Fu was startled, turned around and ran upstairs.It was his mobile phone alarm clock at [-] o'clock in the morning, an old Korean drama OST, "The Mermaid Who Fell in Love with Sharks".

Wen Jingxi, who had been standing still for a long time, heard the singing, turned her head instantly, and met Tao Fu's eyes.

Tao Fu's ears were red with embarrassment, and he said in a panic, "My alarm clock and cell phone are upstairs...I'll go and turn it off now!"

"Wait a minute." Wen Jingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled, her expression was leisurely and joyful, "Don't turn it off, it's very nice, let's play it again. If you like it, you can also repeat the single."

After finishing speaking, Wen Jingxi stood up from the piano bench and walked to the corner shelf, "Just play the song and listen to it. I'll get the speakers."

Half an hour later, the music sounded.

Tao Fu sat in front of the translucent white marble dining table, looking at the rich brunch on the table, his eyes were at a loss, and his hands and feet were also at a loss.

Soft muffins dripping with maple syrup on a clean white china plate.Simple wooden plate, crispy golden toast.And clear glass mugs, steaming fresh milk and matcha latte.

In the small bamboo basket, the mangosteen is split in half, the sweet and moist red thick soft shell, and the snow-white flesh.There is also lotus mist, that kind of transparent red, light fragrance.There is also a vegetable salad, cherry radish cut into small rounds, crisp and tender, thin and white, against the deep and shallow green of the arugula.

The sun shines into the dining room, and the shadows of the glasses reflect colorful colors on the marble table.Next to it, a half-person tall monstera also casts and shakes its own shadow.

"Why don't you eat?" After Wen Jingxi took off her apron and hung it up, she walked to the dining table and sat down opposite Tao Fu.

Tao Fu looked at him stupidly, as if he didn't know him.

"Didn't think I could cook?" Wen Jingxi smiled, "Thought I could only cook instant noodles and eat them with scissors?"

"I, I..." Tao Fu's face turned red, he looked away at the monstera, and reached out to pick up a glass of milk, "I'll eat it!"

Wen Jingxi smiled and said nothing more.

After breakfast, Wen Jingxi went back to work in the room, and Tao Fu went back to the room to play on the computer.

Opening the browser, Tao Fu stared blankly at the video link of Wen Jingxi's interview in favorites in the upper right corner.

Thinking here and there in my mind, many broken thoughts passed by——

When I was a child, I could only see my cousin during Chinese New Year.He plays with two cousins.The eldest cousin is so tough that she can catch a bullfrog with her bare hands and hit the boy next door.The little cousin is so fierce that she can jump up a tree and jump on a roof to remove tiles in 30 seconds.He likes to squat on the edge of the field and play with soil, weeds, and dead branches.

At that time, my cousin was not in the same world as them. When they became more and more dirty like monkeys, my cousin always sat quietly in the rattan chair beside the grape arbor, reading books, the sky, clouds, The tree is so clean that it seems to have a fairy spirit all over it.

Tao Fu was always sad when he saw his cousin when he was a child, but it was only when he grew up that he realized that that kind of sadness was called inferiority complex.I just feel that he and his cousins ​​are like rough clay pots in a broken wooden house, ordinary and resistant to beatings.And my cousin, who is a noble white porcelain, is to be offered in a luxurious house, and be with all the beautiful things.

They only meet once a year, and then they don't know each other, and when they become adults, they will gradually drift away, to the point where the sky and the earth are like each other.

But now his cousin treats him so well.

Why is it so good.

Does he dislike him, does he like him, or is it a responsibility.

Where is there any responsibility, and there is no blood relationship.

So it can only show that cousin is actually a gentle and kind person.

Ok.

……

In the corner of the living room is an open study.

There is a long tall wooden table against the wall, on which are two laptops.

Late at night, in front of the computer.

Wen Jingxi opened the drawing software and was drawing a watercolor packaging of dark chocolate.Tao Fu opened the document and was writing a big homework on the world economy.

After a while, Wen Jingxi left, went to the water dispenser and poured two glasses of water back.

Give Tao Fu a cup, Tao Fu takes it and drinks it.He put the other cup next to the computer first, then picked up a small white plastic bottle from the corner of the table, unscrewed it, poured out a few small white translucent powder tablets, and then ate it with water.

Tao Fu held the water glass and was stunned.

"Uh, I have insomnia." Wen Jingxi put down the water glass and explained to Tao Fu.

"Ah." Tao Fu looked worried, "Is it sleeping pills?"

Wen Jingxi smiled and shook her head.

Tao Fu felt relieved, and asked again, "Is that melatonin?"

Wen Jingxi smiled slightly, unscrewed the small medicine bottle, and said, "Hand."

"Ah?" Tao Fu was confused, but he still opened his hands.

Wen Jingxi lowered his head, poured out two small pills in his palm, then raised his head and smiled at him: "What does it smell like?"

Tao Fu hurriedly shifted his gaze from Wen Jingxi's face to the pill in his palm, raised his hand and sniffed it close to his nose, "Rose, aloe vera... lavender?"

"The nose is very good." Wen Jingxi stroked Tao Fu's hair and said with a smile, "It's rose aloe vera lavender, candy, eat it.

I don't know how many times I was rubbed on the head. Tao Fu hung his head and dared not move. His heartbeat was messy. After eating the tablet-shaped candy, he calmed down a little, diverted his thinking, looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "I know lavender. I used to I have read the BBC's Ten Laws of Sleep, and it seems to be very useful for insomnia."

"En." Wen Jingxi looked at Tao Fu with a smile, his eyes were meaningful, and he didn't seem to be listening to him seriously.

There was a strange feeling in Tao Fu's heart, he didn't dare to think about it, lowered his eyes, and looked at the words on the printed paper.

a few days later.

Tao Fu will go back to school for two weeks. One is to have an interview and the other is to prepare for the final exam.

The math teacher from the interview training institution didn't have formal attire, so I borrowed Wen Jingxi's.

Wen Jingxi is much taller than him, and the clothes are a little bigger, but the texture and tailoring are excellent, and they still look good.

Tao Fu put on his clothes and took photos in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looking both uncomfortable and slightly happy.

Wearing a nightgown and holding a cup of hot milk, Wen Jingxi walked slowly to his side, carefully looking at his whole body.

Tao Fu felt more uncomfortable, pursed his lips, and asked nervously, "Is this okay?"

Wen Jingxi changed the milk to his left hand, and stretched out his right index finger to poke the dimples on Tao Fu's cheek, "It's cute."

It was the first time to be poked in the dimple. Tao Fu was startled and embarrassed, and couldn't help blinking a few times, but when he felt the eyelashes falling into his eyes, he hurriedly rubbed them with his hands.

"Let me do it." Wen Jingxi put down the milk, lifted his chin slightly with one hand, pressed his eyelids lightly with the other hand, then lowered his head to approach his face, and blew gently with his mouth twice, OK, the eyelashes came out.

Tao Fu's eyes were open, but he felt that he couldn't see anything, and his vision had failed.The senses of smell and touch are keen.The smell of milk, the smell of lavender, the warm and strange smell... made him dizzy.

"Okay, I wish you a successful interview." After Wen Jingxi finished the task, she withdrew her hand, picked up the milk and continued to drink, smiling calmly.

"Thank you, thank you." Tao Fu was so upset that his tongue was tied.

A few days later.

Tao Fu walked out of the interview classroom with his head bowed and dejected, and he went to the end of the corridor and leaned against the wall for a moment.

The phone rang, he took it out, saw the message from Wen Jingxi, and asked, "How is it?"

Tao Fu typed in frustration and replied: "Failed."

After about 3 minutes, Wen Jingxi's reply came——

"Alright, if you really want to be a teacher, you will be bullied by students. ^_^"

Seeing the reply, Tao Fu couldn't help laughing, and wanted to open up. Anyway, there is still more than a year to work, so just keep looking.

……

In the afternoon, in the classroom, there is a public elective class on ancient poetry appreciation.

The teacher is an old man in a Chinese gown, with stubborn glasses and a resolute mouth. The whole person feels like he has traveled from the Republic of China era.

The teacher is very casual and divergent in class.First, I will talk about poetry recitation in a serious and serious way. Cantonese retains the three entering tones of ancient Chinese, which can make the syllables sound more cadenced. Therefore, some poems that read plainly in Mandarin will rhyme smoothly in Cantonese.Then he let out a long sigh, tapped the desk with a wooden ruler, and said to the students in the audience: "Let me sing a song for you."

There are not many students attending classes, and many skip classes.A pottery talisman sat among the few students.Tao Fu then heard the teacher's Cantonese mournful tone "Meeting Joy, Silently Going to the West Building Alone".

The deep and vicissitudes of the old man's voice, the Cantonese pronunciation with ancient rhyme and sense of history, is very special and pleasant.

After a song came down, the few students in the class gradually turned their attention back to the teacher and became interested.

"It's your loss if you don't listen to my class." The teacher snorted a little complacently, then continued to give lectures with a smile on his lips.

He talked about the "Tea Classic" from Wang Wei's "Playing to Zhang Wudi", and he talked about Lu Yu and Jiaoran, and he said that the tea in his own home was from Zhongnan Mountain in Wuyi Mountain, and that Master Hongyi once practiced Zen in Zhongnan Mountain. Master Hongyi is Li Shutong. At that time, he chose Zen Buddhism when he chose Zen Buddhism. It may be because the Law School has to memorize scriptures, and Zen does not need to memorize but only meditates...

Tao Fu, who was sitting in the corner seat in the back row, listened, and followed his thoughts. He couldn't help opening the webpage with his mobile phone, and searched for an ancient painter mentioned by the teacher.

The artist's encyclopedia reads:...the appearance is outstanding, with sculpted eyebrows and fine cheeks, red lips and white teeth, and a figure as tall as bamboo, looking like a fairy.

There are also accompanying pictures, freehand light color ink paintings, the middle-aged youths in the paintings have black hair, snow skin and red lips, they really look like gods.

Tao Fu wandered away, thinking of Wen Jingxi, who hadn't seen each other for more than a week.

Suddenly someone touched his shoulder lightly and called him: "Tao Fu."

Tao Fu was startled, turned around and saw that it was Shen Nan, and said in shock, "Why did you choose this class?!"

Shen Nan put one hand on his shoulder, turned the pen with the other, and said with a smile, "For you."

More than an hour later, at five or six in the evening.

Outside the West Gate of the school, in front of the Golden Arch Dessert Station.

Shen Nan asked Tao Fu to help with homework for public electives, and invited him to eat the second half-price matcha ice cream.

Tao Fu was eating ice cream and walking back to school, Shen Nan beside him was saying how nice he was, thank him.His left ear went in and the right ear went out, before continuing the fugue.

The ice cream is sweet and smooth, delicious, and very happy to eat.

He thought of Lian Shen's words about eating ice cream with his eyes many days ago.I also thought of how many days ago, by the French window where the snow was flying, Wen Jingxi was wearing a white down jacket, kneading the white cat and turning her head to smile at him.That scene, really eyes eat ice cream.

Tao Fu stopped eating and smirked dumbly.

Shen Nan had already finished eating her own, and took a wet towel to wipe off her hands. Seeing a little matcha green at the corner of Tao Fu's mouth, she reached out to help him wipe it off.

Suddenly being touched at the corner of his mouth, Tao Fu shrank instinctively, raised his eyes, and looked at Shen Nan in front of him in disbelief.

Shen Nan withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, smiled as if nothing had happened, then lowered her head and approached him without warning, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Tao Fu was frightened and stunned for a few seconds before pushing him away.

This is at the school gate, although it is a relatively remote corner, but there are still people passing by.

Tao Fu, who came back to his senses, was about to cry when he thought of this, but as tears flashed, Shen Nan stretched out his hand to wipe it for him... He was really about to cry.

On the side of the road not far away, in front of rows of fruit stalls.

Wen Jingxi stood there for several minutes with a bag of Taofu clothes.

At the moment when Shen Nan lowered his head and kissed the Tao Fu, he turned his head and stopped looking, and happened to meet the eyes of a female student who was eating candied haws next to him.

When the girl saw him, her eyes widened, her throat was choked by the candy, and she coughed continuously.

Wen Jingxi smiled faintly, walked up to the girl, and politely asked her to hand over the bag of clothes to Tao Fu.

The girl blushed from coughing or something else, and while patting her heart, she agreed with all her mouth: "Oh oh ok ok, no problem, wrap it on me."
