What a pity to miss the rebirth

There is a hundred-year-old teahouse in the old city. It is said that the fragrance of tea is lingering every day. You don’t need to enter the door. You can smell the fragrance of tea leaves flowing from the teahouse when you stand outside. It has both tastes and grades. It is a great place for leisure gatherings. My son and my son love to drill in if they have nothing to do.

Liu Yingnian had only heard about it, but he had never been there once in his previous life, and he had never had a drink once. This time, he also included this stop in today's schedule. After coming out of the snack street, he drove Shuang to drink afternoon tea .

To say that the old city is full of antiques and retains the charm of the old times, and this century-old teahouse is no exception. It looks very old at a glance.

Liu Yingnian smiled and said to Shuang: "I don't know what you like, but most people in the old city prefer tea, so there is no mistake about it. Come in, I'll treat you to tea."

If you want to drink tea at this kind of place on weekends, you must make an appointment in advance, otherwise there will be no seats at all.Private rooms are usually not available, and even if it is not a holiday, there are very few vacancies.

Liu Yingnian and Shuang's seats are downstairs on the inner steps, facing away from the sun, the old-fashioned lattice windows, although the light is insufficient, the design is not dark.

"I'll do it." Shuang stopped Liu Yingnian's hand that wanted to pour tea for the two of them, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Liu Yingnian, and then poured a cup for herself.

After Liu Yingnian withdrew his hand, he thought for a while, and said with a smile, "This seems to be the first time you've taken the initiative to pour tea for me?"

The corners of Frost's lips are slightly curved, shallow, and you can't see it unless you look carefully: "You like it, I can do these at any time in the future."

Liu Yingnian was undoubtedly flattered, for a person like Shuang to be able to say such a thing, it was not the same concept as someone like Liu Yingnian for saying this sentence.

For a long time, he almost didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he could only drink his tea with his head down.

Shuang was also drinking tea. After taking two sips, she rested her fingers on the rim of the cup, and said as if the cool wind was blowing across the water, "You are more suitable here."

Liu Yingnian looked up in surprise, "Huh?"

From his previous life to this life, he had very little relationship with the old city. Because of Li Xianghua and Lin Shu, he only came here a few times in the previous life. Although this life is a little different, the life in the previous life As far as the trajectory is concerned, it is expected that it is actually the fate of these few months.

This is the first time someone told him that he is more suitable for the old city than the new one.

Liu Yingnian felt something new.

Shuang looked at the surprise in his eyes, and added slightly: "Few young people in Xincheng like to drink tea."

This refers to the influence of elders and the environment in which they grew up.Young people in Xincheng are not keen on drinking tea. They drink Coke and coffee more when they get together. They always feel that drinking tea is too old-fashioned, and it is something that old-fashioned people would do.And even if it's tea, most people don't pay much attention to what they drink.

People in Xincheng will gradually show their love for tea as they grow older and reach middle age.

Young people in the old city are different.

Compared with the history of the new city, the cultural accumulation and historical inheritance of the old city are almost universally recognized as complete, and it is also a city least polluted by modern reinforced concrete Western culture.Because it is supported by too many ancient families, many ancient cultures, upbringing and customs have been preserved.It not only keeps pace with the times, discards the bad and extracts the best, but is not completely out of the ordinary, and incorporates elements of the times to the greatest extent.

Young people in the old city have deep love and demand for tea.

They have been influenced by their ears and eyes, and have lived in such an atmosphere since they were young. They are influenced by their elders and peers everywhere, and they are accustomed to drinking tea.So whether they follow blindly for the sake of so-called face and style, or for the sake of being arty and showing off their temperament, they cannot live without tea.You can't live without it at home, and you can't live without it in society.

This is the cultural heritage of the two cities.

In fact, Shuang noticed from the very beginning that Liu Yingnian's eating habits were different from those of ordinary young people in Xincheng. Liu Yingnian didn't like cola or coffee. He liked tea and purified water. He drank tea The way and the familiarity of gestures are more like young people in the old city.

He felt that with Liu Yingnian's temperament, he could easily blend in with the crowd in any corner of the old city.

Actions speak louder than words.

Language is sometimes difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But in behavior, especially in daily life, it is difficult to tolerate cheating.You can fake it for a while, but you can't fake it for every minute and second.

Liu Yingnian was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "That's probably because I don't look like a young man."

Liu Yingnian's hobby of drinking tea is indeed a habit that gradually developed with age. Although he drank tea when he was young, he drank less and was not as particular about his drinking as he is now.Later, when I got older, I replaced coffee with tea, but the more I drank it, the more delicious it became, and I became addicted to drinking tea.But now I can't change it back, and I have become a complete tea lover.

His love of drinking tea was only due to his mood, Shuang didn't understand the reason, and thought that he also preferred tea like the young people in the old city. This was a misunderstanding, but Liu Yingnian couldn't explain it.

"It's fine if you're like this." Shuang said calmly and indifferently.

Liu Yingnian smiled: "If I didn't know you too well, I would have thought that your emotional intelligence today..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of his words, and Shuang asked incomprehensibly, "What about emotional intelligence?"

Liu Yingnian's face flickered, and he became paler and paler. He lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of tea, feeling flustered for a while.

If I don't know you well--

How could he say such a thing?

Since when did he actually use such a sentence pattern to Shuang?

Does he understand Frost?

Why did he suddenly seem to be so natural as Shuang's understanding person?

How could he...

Liu Yingnian panicked for a while, and was afraid that the man sitting across from him would notice something strange, so he restrained the confusion in his heart, raised his head again and smiled, shook his head, put down his teacup, folded his hands under his chin, and met Shuang with a bright and aboveboard gaze After looking at it for a while, I replied as naturally as possible: "Very high. Your performance today is so good that I think your EQ is actually very high."

Shuang still didn't quite understand, "Isn't it good to have a high EQ?"

Liu Yingnian shook his head and smiled, "It's just too good, that's why it's not good."

Shuang stared at his smile for a while, then lowered her eyes to look at the tea in the cup, and gave a plausible "hmm".

At this time, there were several footsteps of different light and heavy on the wooden stairs of the teahouse, and a series of "dong dong dong dong", a customer came down from the private room on the second floor and went to the counter to pay.

Feeling guilty, Liu Yingnian took the opportunity to look away at the cash register. Looking over from his seat, he could have a panoramic view of the situation at the cash register.

They are a group of boys who look like high school students in their prime. They are all tall and have long legs. Standing together, they are amazing.

The last boy who came down from the upstairs looked sluggish, a little listless, and walked down the stairs leisurely, and was about to leave the teahouse with the companions in front of him, when he raised his head, he looked towards Liu Yingnian, just in time with him Liu Yingnian's eyes met squarely.

"Huh?" The sleepy-looking boy was stunned for a moment, and then let out a low voice of surprise.

"Xuan?" The three people in front turned around at the same time.

Liu Yingnian was also a little surprised that he would meet them here.But before he could react, the last boy who went downstairs had already walked towards them first.

"Teacher Liu?" Qiu Xuan went up the steps, walked to the table of the two, and greeted with a smile.

Liu Yingnian got up politely, smiled and nodded, "Hello."

"Teacher Mu is here too." Qiuxuan glanced at Shuang, the corners of his eyes deepened, "The two teachers left without saying goodbye, which made us worry for a while. Unexpectedly, the teachers seem to be doing well."

The other three also saw Liu Yingnian and Shuang, and followed, also showing surprise.

Xiao Zong and Lin Han Chuhuang looked at each other, and the three teenagers saw caution in each other's eyes.After many days, they already knew the reason why Liu Yingnian and Shuang went to school in the first place.But this is obviously not a place to talk, they only greeted Liu Yingnian, they didn't come up the steps, they stood at the bottom, waiting for their companions.

Shuang's attitude was similar to that of Xiao Zong and the three of them. He looked at the four of them coldly, and after a few words, he left all the communication rights to Liu Yingnian alone.

Liu Yingnian smiled gently, and said a bit embarrassed: "There are too many of you."

Qiu Xuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you two here. If we didn't have other arrangements later, I really want to invite the two of you upstairs to have a talk. This is not a place to talk, and we are not so ignorant." , I came here just to get to know the two of you again. I don’t know if I have this honor.”

He cut straight to the point and spoke frankly.

Liu Yingnian glanced at Shuang, seeing that Shuang had no intention of objecting, but he also had no intention of expressing it. After thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing, and he should give an explanation to other students, so he stretched out his hand and said gently: "My name is Liu Ying. Years. When we meet again, we don’t need to call the teacher.”

Qiu Xuan smiled and held his hand, "Brother Liu."

Liu Yingnian smiled and said, "I'm from Xincheng. If you come to Xincheng to play when you have time, you can come and see me. I'll treat you."

Qiu Xuan smiled brightly, "It's a deal."

Liu Yingnian watched them leave, sat down again, and asked Shuang, "Is this okay?"

Shuang nodded, took another sip of tea, and said lightly: "I have nothing to explain, you can do that. Mu Shuang is also my name, and my mother's surname is Mu, so it can't be regarded as cheating them."

Liu Yingnian also drank tea, smiled, and stopped talking.

……

On the way back, Liu Yingnian deliberately drove a detour to the Sulan River, got out of the car with Shuang, and enjoyed the wind blowing by the river for a while.

Shuang's new mobile phone finally came in handy.

Liu Yingnian asked Shuang to take a few photos for him as souvenirs, then took them and looked at them, deleted a few, and kept a few.

"It's a pity that you don't want to take pictures, otherwise it would be good for us to take a group photo." Liu Yingnian said dissatisfiedly looking at the beautiful scenery by the river, "If you don't take pictures on a date, you always feel that something is missing. We didn't take pictures last time."

With the new city as the background, some beautiful pictures can only be taken when standing in the old city.

Shuang was generous once, "Then let's shoot."

Liu Yingnian looked up at him, "...Are you sure you're not possessed by someone else?"

Frost:"……"

Liu Yingnian pushed forward: "Then I'll take a single photo of you."

Shuang said unwillingly: "What's so good about taking a single photo?"

Liu Yingnian said: "You agreed to everything, it doesn't matter whether I take single photos or group photos, anyway, you just need to be the model."

Frost:"……"

As a result of Shuang's soft-hearted pampering for a while, Liu Yingnian's mobile phone had a double photo and a single photo.

For the rest of the way back, Liu Yingnian sat in the passenger seat and repeatedly looked at the photos taken on his phone, and from time to time squinted at the man next to him, comparing and saying: "Although the photos are not bad, but you It looks better. No wonder you don’t like to take pictures. If it’s me, the pictures are not as good-looking as I am, and I don’t like to take them. Look how good I take, and I look much more beautiful than myself.”

He completely misunderstood the reason why Shuang didn't like taking photos, and Shuang didn't bother with him, but just gave him the same sideways glance, and then scanned the photos in his mobile phone, and concluded: "There is no difference."

Liu Yingnian muttered: "It's really my illusion to say that you have a high EQ."

"What?" Shuang didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Liu Yingnian changed the subject, "The ID photo doesn't count, other than the ID photo, is this really the first time you've taken a photo?"

After turning along the driveway, Shuang replied, "I asked for my opinion, just this time."

Liu Yingnian always points to the point, and rarely asks the bottom line.Shuang's answer has already involved the private affairs of the Ji family, so it is not suitable for him to ask further. The affairs between Shuang and the Ji family are too complicated and can only be resolved by themselves. It is not something that he, an outsider, should intervene in.He still remembered the last time Ji Xingyuan took a sneak shot by surprise, Shuang threw away the memory card, and Ji Xingyuan was just to satisfy his grandma's wish.

Shuang's mother should still love Shuang, but the way of love is too humble, she would rather choose to find someone to secretly take photos of her son, and think about others when she sees things, and she doesn't have the courage to go to the mercenary city alone to see how her son is doing.But the environment she lives in is there. Ji Boyang is a very strong and powerful person. If she wants to survive in Ji's family, it is impossible for her to disobey her husband's decision, nor does she have the courage to disobey.

Ji Boyang's wife is not so easy to be.

Liu Yingnian believed that Shuang could also understand this, so he used the name Mu Shuang and his mother's surname to miss his mother.If given a choice, he might rather be called Mu Shuang than Ji Shuang.

It's just that he was sent away from home since he was a child, and he still has a sigh of relief in his heart, so he must have some resentment towards his mother, or maybe it's because he has little contact and doesn't know how to get along.

Liu Yingnian lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, the more he knew, the more he felt that he could understand Shuang's thoughts, and he would involuntarily feel sympathy.There is no way to do this, who told him that he was also kicked out of his family, he almost felt the same way.Because people love themselves, they often use themselves to save others.Maybe Shuang didn't need this sympathy, but Liu Yingnian couldn't help it.

Heaven is unfair.It is always attached to some people, and at the same time, it dislikes others.

Liu Yingnian thought, maybe like him and Shuang, Li Xianghua, Lin Mao, or other people in Mercenary City, they are actually disgusted by the sky.Therefore, they are doomed not to achieve consummation in their relationship with their relatives.

This kind of thinking is extremely bad, but it has been buried in Liu Yingnian's heart.It had been so many years, and it was only at this moment that it suddenly came to mind, which made Liu Yingnian feel that he couldn't face and couldn't breathe for a while.

He subconsciously wanted to open the window to get some air.

When Shuang caught his movement from the corner of his eyes, he pulled him past and reprimanded in a moderate voice: "Are you looking for death? This is a high speed."

Liu Yingnian rubbed his forehead, "Sorry, I forgot."

Shuang drove with one hand and held him with the other. After getting off the expressway and entering the ordinary road, she let go and said, "It's all right now."

He always speaks so concisely, so concise that no matter what explanation he makes, it is correct.

Liu Yingnian looked at Shuang almost in confusion, why didn't he recognize this man so clearly before like today?

He thought for a whole circle before he finally decided that the stunning and alluring young man in front of him might really be the stupidest, most direct, purest and kindest person he had ever met.

And the only one who hasn't cheated on him.

Of course, this is just comparing Shuang with Jie Feng, Li Xianghua, Lin Shu and Luo Yu.

What are people most afraid of?

Afraid than.

But why compare?

Because the degree of emphasis has changed.

He still couldn't hold back, and compared Shuang with other people.

Liu Yingnian thought almost desperately and self-deprecatingly, yes, he couldn't hold back after all.

I can't lie anymore, I can't continue to deceive myself and others.

He was still in love with this man.
