"Well," she responded softly: "Thank you."

Putting the paper bag into the backpack, he gave Ji Manli a smile.But Ji Manli never found out that the pen never appeared in front of her again.What Bai Sheng uses is still his own pen, which has not changed.

After arriving at the MRT station, Ji Manli first went to the machine to reload the ticket card. When passing by the small and medium-sized bookstore at the station, she was caught by a magazine, so she took a copy of thebigissue.

There were not too many people on the MRT at noon, and it took Ji Manli 10 minutes to reach her destination. She looked at her watch and walked leisurely towards the south exit.As she expected, according to her best friend's temperament, she would not arrive early. Leaning against a pillar beside her, she took out her magazine and began to read.

After about 10 minutes, I heard a voice from the escalator below: "Hey, Ji Manli!"

"Crack!" She closed the book in her hand, put it in her bag, and turned to look at the person who was slumped on the handrail of the escalator regardless of his image.A red, beige and white knitted sweater, a simple pair of jeans, and a shoulder bag, Yu Xun dressed casually, even his hair was tied up with a rope.

Ji Manli couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. It seems that the publishing house is indeed too busy with work, unlike her casual work, a veritable hard-earned laborer in the processing zone.

"Let's go! Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yu Xun took her arm and pulled her forward.

"Fortunately, I bought a magazine to pass the time." Ji Manli rubbed her eyes with the back of her left hand: "I bought a magazine in the MRT station."

The two sisters laughed and laughed all the way, shopping in the shops on the street, and Yu Xun even bought some clothes for a while.Finally, after more than half an hour, we arrived at our destination.Originally, Ji Manli felt guilty because she exceeded the time agreed with Bai Sheng, but then she comforted herself that Bai Sheng would not mind too much...

Arriving at the door of the store, the sweetness of coffee and the aroma of desserts permeated the tip of his nose, and Yu Xun showed a look of enjoyment.

"Here," Ji Manli saw the person standing behind the counter making coffee through the glass window, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable pride in her heart: "It's my friend's shop."

"It's so beautiful," Yu Xun pushed open the door: "Is her family very rich, and she started a business at such a young age."

"Well," Ji Manli blinked: "It is indeed."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the man coming out from behind the counter, holding a glass of drink and a stirring stick in his hand.His slender body was wrapped in an apron, his long brown hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind his head, and he looked at himself with a shallow smile.

Ji Manli pulled Yu Xun forward, and said to Bai Sheng: "Bo Sheng, this is my best friend in college, Yu Xun."

Yu Xun gave Bai Sheng a brilliant smile, showing cute sharp little canine teeth, his eyes narrowed into a line: "Hello! My name is Yu Xun."

Bo Sheng also gave her a faint smile and said, "Hello, my name is Bo Sheng."

Looking at Bai Sheng's smile for Yu Xun, Ji Manli suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that there was something weird about the smile that Bai Sheng gave Yu Xun, but she couldn't tell.

Maybe it's just her overthinking, after all, Bo Sheng and Yu Xun are new acquaintances, she is used to seeing Bo Sheng's warm smile, so she is a little uncomfortable with Bo Sheng's indifference.

Bo Sheng led them to a table, called the clerk to order food for the two, then bent down and said softly to Ji Manli: "Then I'll go back to work first," then turned to Yu Xun: "Please enjoy it."

Comes with a bag of handmade biscuits pulled from the apron pocket.

The two ordered a caramel apple tart, a slice of walnut chestnut chocolate cake, and a pot of fresh fruit tea.

Seeing the clerk leave, Yu Xun excitedly started discussing Bo Sheng with Ji Manli.

"Your friend is so nice!" She took out a piece of biscuit, the rich cream flavor made her unable to resist licking her lips, and took a bite, the layered soufflé biscuit was not greasy at all.Yu Xun began to have the idea of ​​being lazy, even if she asked for leave in the afternoon and stayed here to eat dessert, she would not feel any guilt.

"Well," Ji Manli didn't eat the biscuits, she thought in her heart that since Yu Xun likes it, let her take the whole bag home: "She was very good at making desserts when she was in high school, and every time the cooking class teacher praised her."

"Wow, then why didn't she become a pastry chef in a five-star hotel?" Yu Xun was like a child, pulling his hanging chair forward and backward, his legs dangling under the table regardless of his image, Ji Manli's pants were almost dirty by kicking several times.

"I don't know either," Ji Manli shook her head: "Actually, I only found out yesterday that she just came back, and I haven't had a good chat with her yet."

"Look at you, she seems to be treating you very well," Yu Xun clicked his tongue twice: "But you don't care about her at all."

Ji Manli blinked, she seemed completely unable to refute this.That's right, if she didn't happen to come to Baisheng's store, how would she know what her old classmates were doing if she never patronizes the online club?Even Bai Hua, Qi Xuan, and Shao Lu who were in China, she had almost no contact with them, and it was not until yesterday that they officially had a small gathering.However, the interaction between Bo Sheng and the other two last night was still intense. Only she seemed like a wanderer who really went abroad and gave up everything.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, and she came back to her senses, and when she took a closer look, she realized that it was a young male shop assistant.

"Hello, here is your meal." The clerk held the tray in his hand, and his smile was polite but not deliberate: "Which lady does the caramel apple tart belong to?"

"Mine, thank you." Ji Manli nodded to the clerk, asking him to put the dessert in front of her.

"Then this belongs to this lady, right? This is your walnut chestnut chocolate cake, please take it easy." The clerk arranged Yu Xun's dessert again, and then put down the fruit tea, two small ceramic teacups, and a pair Chocolate: "The chocolates were made by the store manager this morning. Let me treat you two. They will be on sale before Valentine's Day next week. If you are interested, you can come to the store to buy them, thank you."

"That clerk is so cute." Yu Xun took a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth, looked at the big boy just now, chewing while talking, completely ignoring his image: "And he's so polite."

"Well," Ji Manli couldn't help trying a piece of chocolate this time: "The store manager taught you well."

The taste of chocolate surprised her. This small dessert seemed to come from a mass of chocolate that had been kneaded by a master kneader. Seconds are squeezing out the full air until it melts in his mouth like a candy heart.The cocoa powder on the top adds the last bit of bitterness, which turns into a rest and ends the movement perfectly.

"This chocolate is delicious!" Yu Xun made a very clean comment after a full 2-minute pause, tears almost welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"It's really delicious," Ji Manli nodded: "How about it, do you want to buy some for Valentine's Day?"

She raised her eyebrows and showed a sly smile, which made Yu Xun couldn't help but give her a blank look.

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to make a boyfriend. Who am I going to get?" Rolling his eyes for the second time, Yu Xun lowered his voice, leaned in front of Ji Manli, and said, "Why don't you think about yourself? After being dumped, I don't believe in love anymore."

Ji Manli lowered her head and said nothing.

As a good friend for many years, Yu Xun's way of advising and inquiring about her relationship status is different from the cautious and straightforward way a few years ago, asking her to face the reality directly instead of avoiding it again and again.

It's just that she often rationalizes her behavior as a growing love, and this long love makes her cowardly and timid.

It made her unable to see the true appearance of love, no, she even doubted whether she knew what love was.

"Silent to me again," Yu Xun felt powerless from the bottom of his heart, picked up a knife and fork, and began to enjoy his chocolate cake: "To use an old saying, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with a single flower, and it is still a long branch." Infested with worms and petals rotted, it's a very immoral flower."

Ji Manli still didn't reply a word, and filled in the subtext she imagined for Yu Xun in her heart: "Look at your taste, it's really weird."

"Look at you," Yu Xun said the first half of the sentence, Ji Manli almost scared Ji Manli into thinking she had mind reading skills: "You are so decadent, you are still single at such a good age."

Only then did Ji Manli say: "Are you qualified to say that about me..." She cut a small piece of apple tart and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste slowly calmed her down.

"I'm super-busy at work, so I don't have time," Yu Xun said, "But you, you're too free at all, and you spend all day at home reading books borrowed from the library, or just making pictures , Playing online shooting! My life is wasted on computer desks and beds!"

"There's nothing wrong with being alone." Ji Manli blinked: "Only one can do as he pleases."

"Yes, yes, next week will be Valentine's Day again," Yu Xun sighed: "I don't know when we will be able to leave the fff group."

She glanced casually into the store, and then saw Bai Sheng who was taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his sweat, her eyes lit up, and she turned to Ji Manli and asked gossipingly: "Hey, your friend is so beautiful and has a good figure, She also seems to be good at cooking, do you have a boyfriend?"

Ji Manli blinked her eyes, then turned her head and thought: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be?"

Yu Xun poured a cup of fruit tea and looked at Ji Manli with reproachful eyes: "Oh yes, I forgot, you don't care about your classmates at all, how could you know."

"She stayed in France before, or she just went abroad to play with a backpack on her back, how would I know." Ji Manli made excuses for herself with a guilty conscience.

"France feels that there are many handsome guys, or are they actually in a long-distance relationship? Wow, it's really a long-distance relationship."

"Stop thinking about it," Ji Manli angrily interrupted Yu Xun's conjecture.

But she couldn't help but wonder, with Bo Sheng's indifferent temperament, is there really someone who can make her fall in love with him?It's not the heart-to-heart loyalty of a friend, but the courage and perseverance of waiting on the Naihe Bridge for three years, the unforgettable inscription of each other into the soul.If someone could drive Bai Sheng into that kind of madness, she really wanted to see what kind of person it would be.
