Spirit

Light music filled the entire coffee shop in a soothing manner. Lin Fenglu and Liu Qingyi sat down by the window respectively.

"Speak!" Liu Qingyi's voice was a little cold, obviously, her emotions were not high.

"As expected, they are friends. Even the opening remarks are the same direct." Lin Fenglu smiled wryly. It seemed that Liu Qingyi was no easier to deal with than Xiao Tianya.It is not unreasonable to say that birds of a feather flock together.

"You took a fancy to Xiao Tianya's talent, but Xiao Tianya was unmoved, so you turned your eyes to me, trying to persuade Xiao Tianya through me." Seeing that her thoughts were seen through, Lin Fenglu was not at all embarrassed.

He simply admitted: "I think so, as her best friend, don't you think it's a pity that her talent is buried?"

"Because I am her best friend, I know better what she wants." Liu Qingyi was unmoved. "If you only fancy her talent, please stay away from her in the future."

"She said something similar to me!" Lin Fenglu took a sip of coffee.

"What do you mean?" Liu Qingyi became interested.

"She warned me not to let me interrupt your life."

After hearing Lin Fenglu's words, Liu Qingyi's face softened a lot.

"She is an awkward person. Even though she is talented, she only dances for one person." Liu Qingyi picked up the coffee in front of her and said, "But you are not that person."

"But you can!" Lin Fenglu silently looked at the woman in front of her.

"Yes, but I won't ask her to do anything. She has been bound by me for too long, so I want her to live freely."

"Then do you know what she wants? She likes you, do you know?" Lin Fenglu pressed her step by step.

Lin Fenglu's words made Liu Qingyi fall into memories, her voice seemed to float from the past through time and space: "I and Tianya were classmates in high school. Contact. For the first time, I felt that she was a very talkative and interesting person, but after contacting, I found that she was a very difficult person to approach."

"I have always been confident in my affinity, so I was a little dissatisfied, so I approached her without authorization, and finally succeeded in walking into her heart, and we have become friends since then."

"After the college entrance examination, I applied for a university in this city, and Tianya was admitted to S University with even better results."

Lin Fenglu did not speak, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"However, she chose to repeat the study amidst everyone's confusion, and she did so in this remote southern city."

"The family strongly opposed it, but she insisted on it. In order to stop her thoughts, her family cut off her financial resources, but she still came here to repeat her studies. Her family never gave her a year of work and study. She's a penny."

"Later, she was admitted to a third-rate university here. Her family was dissatisfied with her original choice. She also knew that she had let her family down, so she never asked her family for a penny during the four years of college. Since then , she learned to design on the Internet and opened a store on Witkey. Although her income is good now, at the beginning, she had to pay her own tuition fees and maintain daily living expenses, so she often She didn't have enough to eat. But she still persisted without saying a word."

"No matter how hard she endured, she never said a word to me. She insisted on everything alone. I learned this from her parents later."

Lin Fenglu did not expect that Xiao Tianya would have such a difficult experience, no wonder she has more vicissitudes than her peers.

"When I first came to this city, I was terrified, but Tianya came, which made me feel at ease in this strange city. Later, I had my own friends and got used to life in college. The days with her Fewer and fewer, but as long as I need, she always rushes to my side at the first time. I have long been used to her being kind to me."

"I once asked her why she came to this city, and she said: She likes this city, I believe it is true, I have known each other for 10 years, she stayed in this city for 7 years, one year repeats, four years of university, two years Work." Liu Qingyi's voice remained calm.It's just the hand holding the cup, the hand with bruised veins due to exertion, showing the excitement in her heart.

"However, she is from the north. She doesn't like the hot and humid summer and the cold winter in the south. She once said that she likes the four seasons in the north because it makes her feel alive. She likes northern cuisine, but all the food here The dishes are all sweet and greasy, she likes pasta, but the staple food here is only rice, after eating rice, she always has a stomachache..."

Liu Qingyi recalled painfully.

"Later I met, Sicheng, we met and fell in love, and finally got married and had children. On the day of the wedding, Tianya, who has always been lazy, ran around for me, settling my parents, and decorating the new house. I saw her reddish face Eye sockets, I asked her what was wrong, and she told me that it felt like her daughter was married."

"I actually believed it..." Liu Qingyi obviously regretted her hindsight.

"After getting married, I have been entangled in trivial matters in life and work. The frequency of my contact with Tianya has become less and less, until one day I suddenly realized that she is far away from my world."

"I didn't care about it at the time. Until one day, the hospital organized an exchange study at the Third Hospital, where I met a psychologist who was also my senior sister. Because of this relationship, she took good care of me. Later, I She accidentally flipped through a medical record on her desk, and the patient's name is—" Liu Qingyi paused, and from her trembling body, it could be seen that she was trying her best to calm her emotions.

"Xiao Tianya!" As soon as the three words came out, Lin Fenglu, who was already mentally prepared, was still startled.

"What disease?" Lin Fenglu frowned slightly, she really couldn't think of what disease Xiao Tianya would suffer from.

"Depression and severe nervous breakdown."

"Tian Ya doesn't like to see a doctor very much. Sometimes when he is really sick, he just takes medicine and even very little water, just like last time, so that he was dragged into the hospital."

"But this time she took the initiative to see a psychiatrist. Obviously, she has realized that she is on the verge of collapse, and she really has no other way to seek help."

"What conclusion did the doctor give?" Lin Fenglu also agreed with Liu Qingyi's words.

"The senior sister gave her various psychological counseling, but with little success. The senior sister said that she was too obsessed, and she was too guarded against people. Even facing herself as a doctor, she had many reservations. In the end , had no choice but to use hypnotic induction to understand some situations. Her psychological defense is too strong, no less than those of trained professionals. Even so, the senior sister only knows that she likes someone she shouldn't like That's all."

"But after reading it, I know that the person she likes is me."

"She suppressed this feeling for ten years, and never did anything beyond her friends. For me, she stayed in this strange city for seven years. She gave up her studies, and she did not hesitate to turn against her parents... ..." Liu Qingyi's voice became a little hoarse.

"She loves too rationally, and loves too repressively. For a person, once she gives, it's all."

"She is too easily hurt. I have already broken her heart. If someone hurts her again, she may choose the worst way - to leave."

"Leave?" These two words really don't match the word 'tragic'.

"If you only fancy her talent, then don't let her use your affection for you, and don't use her affection for her." Liu Qingyi warned.

"I'm not a lesbian, so your worries are unnecessary." Lin Fenglu comforted Liu Qingyi with a smile.

"I know that you have a noble status and outstanding appearance, and she is from a mediocre background and looks not good. You are people from two worlds. If it is only a few encounters, no one will like Tianya, but after a long time of contact, everything is unknown. The identities and backgrounds of the two of you are very different..." Liu Qingyi hesitated to speak, but only sighed in the end.Sometimes a woman's intuition is a scary thing.

"Why did you tell me these things today?" Lin Fenglu didn't understand why Liu Qingyi told herself Xiao Tianya's past in such detail.

"She likes Yukio Mishima, Haizi, Pushkin, and Nalan Rongruo." Liu Qingyi didn't rush to give an explanation.

"So what?" Lin Fenglu didn't understand why Liu Qingyi told herself this.

"Senior sister said that if she continues like this, she will leave this world in a short time." Perhaps, Xiao Tianya also realized this, so he asked a psychiatrist for help.

"She has a cherry blossom plot!" Liu Qingyi's words made Lin Fenglu fall into silence.

According to legend, ancient Japanese samurai usually chose under the cherry blossom tree when performing seppuku.The cherry blossoms drink blood and bloom, which is extremely complicated.

Cherry Blossom - withered at its peak, a dead flower.

……

A pack of tissues was handed to Liu Qingyi, she raised her head in surprise, and immediately froze.

"How did you come?"

Xiao Tianya was wearing light gray sportswear, his hair had just been washed and was loosely loose behind his back.Her face was a bit ugly, but she still thoughtfully handed a pack of tissues to Liu Qingyi.

"Well, after work, I wanted to have a cup of coffee, so I came here. I didn't expect to meet you by chance." Xiao Tianya explained in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Liar, tell the truth! You don't like coffee at all!" Liu Qingyi unceremoniously exposed Xiao Tianya's lie.

Xiao Tianya shrugged, and casually dragged a chair to sit down: "Well, I'm afraid I'll be sold out by others, so I'll take a look."

"Wipe your tears first!"

"Hmm..." Liu Qingyi took the tissue and wiped away her tears carefully.

"Tianya, these years..." Liu Qingyi's voice hesitated.

Xiao Tianya pressed Liu Qingyi's lips with his fingertips, preventing her from speaking further.He raised his head and met Lin Fenglu's gaze: "Boss Lin, I wonder if your company is still recruiting?"

Lin Fenglu looked at Xiao Tianya in surprise, she didn't understand Xiao Tianya's way of thinking.

But quickly realized: "Well, as long as you want, you can come to work anytime."

"Thank you!"

"Qingyi..." Xiao Tianya's voice was a little deep: "I don't want my existence to be a problem for you."

"sky……"

Xiao Tianya stopped Liu Qingyi's words again.

She sat upright in the chair, with a calm expression on her face that had never been seen before.

Liu Qingyi stared at Xiao Tianya in front of her infatuatedly. At this moment, Xiao Tianya became strange and distant.

Xiao Tianya smiled faintly at Liu Qingyi: "Don't worry about me. After so many years, I have looked away from everything that should be overlooked, and have let go of everything that should be let go. I admit, I like you, so I still don't care about you." I went to see a psychiatrist, but this feeling has gradually changed over time, and the initial strong feeling has gradually settled into a family relationship. Qingyi, it's not what you think."

"Look at my eyes. People say that eyes are the windows to the soul. Look at them and let them tell you if I lied to you." Xiao Tianya gently shook Liu Qingyi's hand.

Liu Qingyi stared closely at Xiao Tianya's eyes, which were clear, bright, without any impurities.

No one can doubt the authenticity of her words.

……

"You're lying to her!" Lin Fenglu said affirmatively, looking at Liu Qingyi's receding back outside the window.

Xiao Tianya hid it well, never exposed his vulnerable side to Liu Qingyi.Although Liu Qingyi knew Xiao Tianya very well, everything was based on her own speculation and there was no evidence.

Lin Fenglu was different, she had seen Xiao Tianya's soul-touching pain with her own eyes.

"You really can pretend!" Lin Fenglu looked at Xiao Tianya with an indifferent face.

"Hmm... Do you have any cigarettes? Mr. Lin~" Xiao Tianya hummed feebly, and asked Lin Fenglu for a cigarette.

Although Xiao Tianya seldom smokes, naturally he seldom buys cigarettes.Every time I smoke, I feel extremely bad.

Lin Fenglu took out a cigarette and a lighter from her bag, and handed them to Xiao Tianya.

Xiao Tianya lit the cigarette, and the smog filled the air, making everything in front of him illusory.

"It's not a good sign to suppress emotions for too long without being released." Lin Fenglu explained.

"Did you have a good chat with Qingyi?!" Xiao Tianya's tone was not friendly, obviously Lin Fenglu and Liu Qingyi were together which made Xiao Tianya very unhappy.

"I'm sorry!" Lin Feng showed some lack of confidence, "Why did you suddenly decide to go back to the company?"

"Who knows?" Xiao Tianya stubbed out the cigarette, leaned back in the chair with the water glass in his arms, his eyes were a little hollow.

"You have come a long time ago!" The tone was affirmative, and Lin Fenglu didn't know where this confidence came from.

Xiao Tianya was taken aback, but he didn't deny it.

"Hmm! How do you know." The angle I was at at that time should be the blind spot of the two people's vision, but I actually came 20 minutes ago.

"intuition!"

"A woman's intuition and a man's promise are the two most unreliable things." Xiao Tianya said lazily and seriously.

Seeing Xiao Tianya's reaction, Lin Fenglu knew that he had guessed right.

Xiao Tianya in front of him, with thin lips, willow eyebrows, eyes that open and close occasionally, and a fair face without any makeup, is completely natural.On closer inspection, it's pretty reasonable.

"Don't bother her anymore!" Xiao Tianya was dissatisfied with Lin Fenglu's gaze, and stared back calmly.

Her small movements did not escape Lin Fenglu's eyes, Lin Fenglu retracted her eyes in a timely manner, pretending to look at the surrounding environment.

Xiao Tianya pushed forward an untouched sip of coffee and looked out the window in a daze.

"How is the company doing now?" After a suffocating silence, Xiao Tianya spoke first.

Lin Fenglu didn't expect Xiao Tianya to be able to speak. All along, she took the initiative to speak more between the two of them, while Xiao Tianya just dealt with it passively.

At the moment, she felt teasing: "In what capacity are you asking? A friend or an employee."

Hearing Lin Fenglu's words, Xiao Tianya was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he unconsciously asked such a question that didn't match his identity.

"I'm sorry, I was the one to be abrupt." I straightened my messy hair.Xiao Tianya's hair was just above his shoulders, black and straight, and because it had never been dyed or permed, it showed the most original color.In such a bustling city, very few people can have such natural long hair.

Seeing that Xiao Tianya was serious, Lin Fenglu quickly stopped. She can guarantee that if this continues, Xiao Tianya will definitely not ask any more questions about the company.

"Just kidding, didn't I say that we are friends! Don't treat me too strangely." Lin Fenglu's originally seductive face was full of sincerity.

"Hi..." When it came to work, Lin Fenglu's face darkened, "As you expected, the company's funds are difficult and the products are unsalable. It is considered stable, but if it continues like this, within half a year, people will definitely be scattered."

"Yeah! I'll report to the company tomorrow." Xiao Tianya stood up, paused for a moment, and said in a subtle way: "You've lost weight!"

Looking at the thin back, Lin Fenglu's eyes turned red. It was the first time in a month that he heard such heart-warming words.This comforted Lin Fenglu's shaky heart.
