a hundred ways to die

If he had to use one word to describe the coffee shop, Shen Yue would like to use "warmth", although this word has nothing to do with him at all, the book wall of the coffee shop, the food of the coffee shop, and the People are very interesting and lively, even though they are always talking by themselves when they are together with Gu Mingchen.

After graduating from university, many people were puzzled by Shen Li's unscrupulous and crazy rebellious behavior. His family, his friends... Tao Liqun has been with him for a long time, and he can still contact him from time to time. Li vaguely remembered that someone left and someone appeared because of a certain case.

Sighing, Shen Li closed the book. Sure enough, it was raining. In this environment, no one would want to feel sad. When the young coffee shop owner heard Shen Li's sigh, he raised his head and saw With doubts.

Shen Li rested his chin, and asked lazily, "Is there anything memorable about the boss? For example, is there anyone you like?" When Shen Li said this, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and his fingers snapped Tapping on the table.

Gu Mingchen thought for a while, Shen Li seems to be the person he remembers the most clearly, he has lived for too long, he used to always remember others and read other people's stories, but no one cared about him, so as time passed, He can't remember other people's looks anymore, because he is afraid that when he sees that person one day, his hair will be gray, and he will still be like this

"There is no one who remembers. My memory is not very good, so stories are usually written down directly, in the books you read." Gu Mingchen turned the plate in his hand, and cut off the corners of the cake. .

Shen Yue was very satisfied with such an answer, he looked at Gu Mingchen's dexterous hands flying up and down, and in a good mood, he allowed his boss to ask himself a question at will.

Gu Mingchen was a little hesitant, he was very curious about Shen Yue, and there were so many mysterious things that he didn't know where to start asking.After hesitating for a moment, Gu Mingchen asked,

"Don't you have to do other things every day? Won't it be boring?"

"Like you're here every day, the coffee shop is not a boring place, and...you're still here."

The movements of Gu Mingchen's hands paused, what Shen Li said was very strange, a little inexplicable... ambiguous, but Gu Mingchen didn't care about these all year round, and he continued his actions.

Shen Li didn't expect any reply from himself, he looked at Gu Mingchen with a smile, and continued to ask, "Then after you've finished asking, I'll ask the second question. You and me."

Gu Mingchen didn't respond, it was a tacit consent, and he and Shen Li had known each other for a long time, but they didn't really get to know each other deeply, and today happened to be a relatively free time for both of them.

"Well, what is the most thrilling case you have experienced?"

"I forgot too, anyway, they are all about horrific cases, ah, I saw a mermaid once, when I returned to China, the ships at that time were not as old as they are now, very old and dilapidated, I stood on the deck , and then I saw that mermaid from a distance."

"Is the mermaid pretty?"

"Of course it's not good-looking, otherwise it would be the scariest experience." Gu Mingchen looked at the interested Shen Li with some disdain, "It's ugly, although it looks like a human, it's ugly, and it can't sing. A big skeleton was found at the bottom of the boat, and then I saw it dragged away a handsome man on the boat and swallowed him alive, it was disgusting, and I felt very scared at that time."

"How did you get rescued later?"

"I don't remember, but I knew I couldn't die, so I kept drifting with the current, and then I went back to Asia when I filed a case. I followed the caravan and returned to China." Gu Mingchen slowly recalled the past. If Shen Yue hadn't mentioned the matter, he would have almost forgotten it.

Shen Yue wanted to ask something else, but Gu Mingchen raised his head and looked at Shen Yue silently, as if he was not very satisfied with his performance, "Obviously agreed to ask one person once."

"Then you can ask." Shen Yue didn't intend to hide something, and waved his hand generously.

"Why do you like these cases so much? Aren't ordinary people very afraid?" Gu Mingchen looked at Shen Yue curiously. Shen Yue seemed to be born immune to these bloody cases, and could keep a calm head in the most critical time. , this is almost impossible for a student who has been exposed to general education since childhood.

Shen Yue began to recall those things in his past. In fact, he remembered that he was different from the past. He originally followed the plan set by the Shen family. He walked step by step, but what happened later, it seemed that One case, after which he changed.

"I used to be a very good student. I raised a very docile cat and fed him every day. At that time, it was the most interesting creature I had ever seen. But then, when I was in college, it disappeared. I It became what it is now." Shen Li tried his best to recall, but the time in college was too vague, and he couldn't remember it clearly, but he only heard Tao Liqun and others say that he was terrible at that time.

Gu Mingchen thought for a while and asked, "The last time I heard from your friend that there was a case when you were in college, and everyone in the police station seems to know you. Can I ask what the case is?"

Shen Li shook his head, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he really forgot. He also went to investigate later, and it should be related to the sexual/assault case, but he couldn't find out the details. Please ask Tao Liqun, but this guy He kept procrastinating, saying that he couldn't find any relevant information, but Shen Yue clearly felt that they were hiding something.

"Now it's my turn." Shen Li seemed to be addicted to this kind of game, he looked at the cake gradually formed under Gu Mingchen's hands, and asked curiously, "Who did you learn how to make cakes from?"

"Well, how should I put it, I used to secretly hear from a pastry chef that these small things can give people a sense of healing. Later, I quietly followed and learned a little bit. Later, I went to many countries and also Naturally, I will do more." Gu Mingchen kept moving his hands, and the cream outlined beautiful and delicate patterns on it.

Gu Mingchen has a very special charm when making snacks, gentle and delicate, but not girly, smooth and calm, Shen Li watched intently, then picked up the cream next to it and squeezed out an extremely ugly one on the cake. Baituantuan.

Gu Mingchen never thought that Shen Yue would actually make trouble at this time, he stared at Shen Yue in surprise, and Shen Yue was also shocked by his behavior, he put the cream back in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly , "I don't know why this is so difficult to control. I originally wanted to draw a rose."

It turned out that it was so difficult to make such an exquisite cake, Shen Yue suddenly remembered that he seemed to have made a cake for someone in the past, his face and clothes were covered with flour, but he still smiled happily, it was for that cat ?Can cats eat cream too?

"Teach me how to make cakes." Shen Yue suggested, it's rare that today I found something that I don't know how to make, and I'm willing to try it.

long silence...

"Okay, the cost of materials will be on my account." Shen Yue squeezed out a sentence slowly, and then looked at Gu Mingchen expectantly.

Gu Mingchen nodded lightly, and then began to make the final finishing touches to the cake.The place that was originally squeezed out by the oak was decorated with delicate flowers.Gu Mingchen pushed the cake to the window, and the staff came back to pick it up.

"In order to express my apologies for making trouble, I have a proposal." Shen Yue took out a piece of paper from the side and wrote on it, "Dear miss, I wish you a happy birthday, but I have a suggestion, if you go to the banquet at night , it is better to change a male partner early, because he has an appointment tonight, and there are beautiful girls. If you want to eat desserts, you can try them boldly. This is a small dessert presented to you in our store. Welcome to come again next time .”

Shen Yue finished writing the thing in his hand, then put the card aside, then took a delicate and lovely chocolate from the window and put it aside, then called the salesperson to take the thing away.

"How do you know these things?" Shen Li can always come to many miraculous conclusions, but Gu Mingchen has seen more markets but still can't figure out why.

"Look." Shen Yue looked in that direction. There was a well-dressed lady sitting there. When she saw the cake, her eyes showed surprise. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the cake itself, but surprise But it didn't show it on her face at all. She asked, "Why is this different from the cake I made at the beginning."

"Well-dressed, in other words, tends to be more rigid, so the personality may be the same, so I guess no matter how good your cake is, she will be dissatisfied because it is different from her original setting. "Shen Li explained.

The clerk handed over the card and gift to the lady, and then solemnly apologized for being sorry, and then the woman glanced at the card, her complexion changed a little.

"Are you busy tonight?"

"Look, she asked immediately after seeing the card without hesitation, which means that the conflict between the two people has not been a day or two, or this woman has already felt it. The clothes on the man's body are all in the same style as the woman's, and they are rigid and elegant. The suit, but there is only one place, the tie clip, which was given by a very attractive woman. Neither side of the cheating man intends to let it go. On the one hand, he promised the attractive woman to meet at night, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to give up the chance to meet a big shot .” Shen Yue explained methodically.

"But these are just inferences, and they may not come true." Gu Mingchen still didn't believe it, but Shen Li shook his head, and smiled a little irritably, "The most important thing is, I heard it in the toilet just now, that The man in the tie called."

Gu Mingchen was a little speechless, he continued to look in the direction of the customer, the woman seemed to be arguing with the man, and then the man left in embarrassment, the woman sat back on the chair, it seemed that the anger had not been relieved, at this time, he saw the little chocolate cake again , I ate it and asked the salesperson to leave.

"You know she likes to eat chocolate? It can't be eavesdropping again."

"Of course not. She glanced at the window when she entered the door, and later saw that he deliberately avoided chocolate when ordering cakes. Either he didn't like it, or he was trying to lose weight, so he ordered fruit cakes. I think he just ordered The coffee and the meals didn’t move much, which means that she should be losing weight, and when she is so sad, her favorite food can heal her.” It is rare for Shen Li to be so proud of such a small reasoning, he looked at it triumphantly Looking at Gu Mingchen, as if expecting praise.

"Okay, don't you want to learn how to make cakes? I'll teach you." Gu Mingchen brought a full set of equipment from the side, and told Shen Li to change into it quickly.Shen Yue curled up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, it seems that such a plain relationship is also very good.
