The rumored Chen Qianqian side story

Chapter 24: The Smell of the Page

She subconsciously looked at her fingertips, and found that the little red dot was indeed flickering non-stop, so she quickly turned her head to look at the cashier, to see if she missed a curse-breaking kiss.

But there was no one at the cash register at the moment, she frowned slightly, apologized to Professor Tang, Qu Chenyi, and got up to look for Yao Xiaobei, "Honey, did anyone attend the event just now?"

"Huh?" Yao Xiaobei poked his head out from the bar, "No, you haven't participated in the event since you passed by just now."

Ye Cuican groaned, looked down again, and found that the little red dot had stopped flashing.

She rubbed her fingertips and muttered, could it be a malfunction?

This is the first time this has happened.

Although Little Red Dot has always cheated her, in Ye Cuican's mind, it has always been a reliable guy.

At least he didn't mess around, and he didn't attack her like an old hag... What's the matter with this sudden convulsion?

More importantly...does it count as collecting another kiss now?

She struggled for a while, and finally pursed her lips and snapped her fingers lightly.

Never mind it, let's talk after we hit it.

It should not disturb the old hag's beauty sleep if it is so light...

After a while, she returned to Professor Tang's desk, "I'm sorry I just had something to do."

"If you're busy, don't worry about us, we'll just sit and go"

"It's okay, it's closing soon, there are no customers"

Turning around to see Qu Chenyi taking a sip of coffee and savoring it carefully, she waited for a while and asked expectantly, "How is it?"

"The taste is very special, I can't say it is good or bad," Qu Chenyi commented very seriously.

"This is made with the wild civet coffee beans that I happened to encounter during my trip to Yunzang." Ye Cuican took a sip herself, and frowned slightly after tasting:

"The evaluation of it in the coffee world is very polarized, and I feel that it does not match the name after I drink it"

"You also sell cat poop coffee in your store?"

Qu Chenyi knew a little about coffee, and seeing Ye Cuican deliberately avoiding the word cat feces and talking about literature and art, it was a little funny.

"No", Ye Cuican shook his head, "The reputation is not very good, and the price is not suitable."

"Indeed, it's cruel to animals. How did you buy this?" Qu Chenyi was a little curious when he heard Ye Cuican just said that he met by chance.

"Ah", Ye Cuican thought of something funny, smiled to himself for a while and said:

"I used to travel in a camper van, but I got lost. I broke into a coffee garden and saw someone collecting it, so I bought some back"

Hearing Qu Chenyi say to Ye Cuican meaningfully that you are so brave, Professor Tang was a little confused, so, "Why did you get lost? Is the navigation broken?"

"No", Ye Cuican added the fresh tea from the teapot into Professor Tang's cup, poured another cup for Qu Chenyi, motioned him to drink this if he was not used to it, and continued:

"Didn't I study geography? I wanted to verify my learning results, but it turned out that I was not good at school and lost my way haha"

"You", Professor Tang couldn't help laughing.

I heard Ye Cuican joke that she didn't study well in the past, and she was most afraid of encountering teachers and professors, her legs would tremble when she encountered them, and she always felt that she would be chased and scolded for not doing her job properly.

So when I first found out that the two professors lived downstairs in her house, I was a little apprehensive, and didn't dare to come close to talk for a long time.

Later, I found that the two characters were really too gentle, unlike the kind who would scold her, so I dared to talk to her.

"Your cafe is very creative." Qu Chenyi gave Ye Cuichan a thumbs up, and then pointed upstairs, "Are you busy now? Take me upstairs?"

"Not busy", Ye Cuican got up, "Auntie, are you going to visit too? There is a bookstore on the second floor, and a pet garden on the third floor. It's very interesting, but you have to take the stairs."

Professor Tang waved his hand again, and said to the two of them:

"My legs and feet are not good, you young people go for a walk, I will take a rest"

"Okay, sit down for a while"

"Go, go, don't worry about me"

Ye Cuican took Qu Chenyi up to the second floor. The bookstore on the second floor is divided into two areas, one half is a small library where you can sit and read comfortably, and the other half is a bookstore selling popular bestsellers.

There are a lot of free books in the library, and there are many books on fashion, animals and nature. Seeing Qu Chenyi carefully looking at the bibliography row by row, Ye Cuichan smiled:

"Why are you looking so carefully? Let me tell you a secret. I don't like reading. I haven't read any of the books here."

These are the books that were used as decorations in the store before, and Ye Cuican just flipped through them occasionally when cleaning the dust.

When she is free in the store, she likes to take out the book to bask in the sun, and then put it under her nose to smell it.

And then?

Then plug it back into the bookshelf and wait for the next sunbathing.

She really just likes the natural, aged flavor and isn't too interested in the wisdom in it.

Good friend Sui Xinxin said that she had a disease and needed to see a brain doctor.

In fact, she knew that it was just because these smells reminded her of those love letters that she had put in the pages of the book and then accidentally sold by the lady as scrap.

Because of this matter, she and Ms. He had a long cold war, and Ms. He turned out the electronic versions of the translations she translated back then, and the matter came to an end.

But I don't know why, although the translation level is quite high, and many are even more perfect than the original, Ye Cuican always feels that something is missing, and there is no emotion at all when reading it.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally thought that it must be because of the lack of the smell of the pages... Since then, she has developed a habit of collecting second-hand books--

Buying books, posting them, listening to them, but not reading.

Seeing Ye Cuican revealing his shortcomings so frankly, Qu Chenyi chuckled, "I know, you run away when you see the professor if you don't study well."

"Hahahahaha, Auntie will tell you this too." Ye Cuican was amused, stopped laughing for a while and asked:

"Hey, to be honest, wouldn't it be Auntie who encouraged you to chase me in order to repay me?"

Ever since he helped his family, he always felt that Professor Tang was intentionally or unintentionally creating space for the two of them. Qu Chenyi thought of this the other day when he said he was chasing her.

Both of them made it clear yesterday, Ye Cuican felt that there was no need to hide it, it might be more appropriate to say it out loud--

Ease the embarrassment, and reduce the ambiguous atmosphere by the way.

"Yes and no", after Qu Chenyi finished speaking, he stopped going and pointed upstairs, "Let's go up and have a look."

Ye Cuican let out a soft snort, and followed her. As soon as she went upstairs, the little mung bean flew over and landed on Ye Cuican's shoulder. Ye Cuican nodded her head:

"You are quick to react"

Because customers who drink coffee on the first floor don’t like animals coming in and out, the pet garden on the third floor has a separate external staircase. At this moment, there are many people who come to walk their pets, and people chatting with pets are constantly laughing.

Ye Cuican walked around with Qu Chenyi and saw him staring at a cat playground carefully, so she asked:

"Do you have cats?"

"No", Qu Chenyi shook his head, "But I'm considering whether to raise one or not"

"Really?" Ye Cuican became interested, "I'm also thinking about raising one recently, but I haven't chosen one yet. If you come across a good one, please recommend it to me. I'm too lazy to study it."

"okay"

Turning around and returning to the first floor, seeing that it was almost time, Ye Cuican said hello to Yao Xiaobei, and walked to Yuanleju with Professor Tang and the others.

Although there was no expression on Bird's face, Ye Cuican still keenly sensed that Little Mung Bean was not in a good mood along the way, she was a little puzzled, grabbed it and held it in her palm, "Are you sick?"

The little mung bean is usually very lively on the shoulders, looking around, and chattering, today is too abnormal.

After speaking, he leaned over to observe its nostrils, "There is no snot, it's strange."

"Let me see." Qu Chenyi stretched out his hand to get the little mung bean, Ye Cuican thought he knew something, so he let go of his hand and prepared to hand it to him, who knows what kind of wind the little mung bean was, and flew away in a flash.

Ye Cuican was taken aback for a moment, blinked and blinked, and heyed twice in the direction of the little mung bean's running. Seeing that the little mung bean disappeared in a certain direction without looking back, she suddenly became angry:

"If you have the ability, don't come back!"

Seeing that Qu Chenyi was still there in a daze when she turned her head, she waved her hand at him, "It's okay, it will twitch like this every two days, and I'll be back after a while, don't worry"

Qu Chenyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Does it not like me?"

Why did he draw it as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Ye Cuican thought for a while, "Don't worry about it, it doesn't like many things, it's very picky"

It is estimated that it is used to graffiti by its wonderful master.

Ye Cuican stepped forward to help Professor Tang, "Auntie, are you familiar with the silver-haired auntie and her wife today?"

Hearing this, Professor Tang thought for a while, "You should be talking about Tan Wan and Rong Shen, they are not a couple yet."

"Ah?" Ye Cuican was slightly surprised, how could they not be a couple?They held hands and kissed each other on the cheek, not the wife, then...

"Are they in love at dusk?" Ye Cuican asked.

"That's right," Professor Tang nodded with emotion, "It's not easy for them either."

From Professor Tang, Ye Cuican knew that this silver-haired couple was each other's first love, and later they separated because of a misunderstanding. It took most of their lives to resolve the misunderstanding when they were nearly sixty years old, and then resolutely came together regardless of their children's opposition.

Hearing this, Ye Cuican nodded thoughtfully. Although she didn't know why their children objected, and didn't know if they had any faults, but they insisted on getting together so much that they could make Xiaohong light up. It must be true love. .

That is to say, their kiss is also a kind of true love kiss?

Ye Cuican resisted the urge to ask Professor Tang if the two old men were colleagues, and returned home thoughtfully.

After taking a shower, she saw that it was still early, but she was very energetic after a long day, and she didn't feel sleepy at all. After thinking about it, she took a bottle of red wine and two glasses to the roof garden.

Hey, by the way, let's see if the little mung bean is here.

After drinking for a while, when she heard the door opening, Ye Cuican didn't turn her head back, "Is Miaohan asleep?"

"Yeah", without saying a word, Sui Xinxin squeezed onto the recliner, poured herself a glass of wine, then pushed Ye Cuican, "Move."

Ye Cuican moved her butt obediently, seeing Sui Xinxin's haggard face, she was speechless:

"Isn't it just to take the children on a trip, as for being so tired?"

"You just stand and talk without pain in your back." Sui Xinxin poked Ye Cuican on the head angrily, "Is that bringing a child? That's bringing a wild horse!"

Sui Xinxin got married right after graduating from university, and soon after she got married, she had a child. Her daughter is now more than 5 years old, and she has a spirited and lively personality.

It's like Sui Xinxin's insanity that was fearless in the past.

Ye Cuican often heard Sui Xinxin complain half proudly and half embarrassingly, she was used to it and didn't take it seriously.
