The car stopped on the side of the road, and Cheng Xi walked to the side of the co-pilot to open the door for Su Teng.

"Is it cold?" Cheng Xi asked, gathering up Su Teng's clothes.Su Teng shook his head, the sun came out today, and the haze that had lasted for several days was swept away, the sky was blue and clear, the sunshine in early spring made people warm, and the mood cleared up.

Go out about 50 meters from the side door, and arrive at a two-story house.This house was originally an old-fashioned residential house, which happened to be repaired on the side of the road and can be used as a facade.Cheng Xi pointed to the house and said, "This is a gift. Don't you want to open a bookstore? It's just right here. There are few people and it's quiet."

When he was about to move last time, when he heard Su Teng talking about turning his house into a bookstore, Cheng Xi took it seriously and thought about choosing a storefront for him.For Su Teng's hobbies, Cheng Xi will always try to satisfy him.

Su Teng couldn't hide his surprise on his face, his eyes were shining, and he took Cheng Xi's hand and walked inside.

The house was cleaned up. In order to welcome him, Cheng Xi ordered the house to be repaired a little, which was delayed for several days.The space on the second floor is fairly spacious and well ventilated. The shape of the house is simple and clean. There are a few empty rooms inside. The furniture and the like have been cleaned up long ago, waiting for Su Teng, the owner, to rearrange.

"Tear down this wall and open it up into a big room. Well, put two pots of plants here, the bookshelf against the wall, and a table here..." Su Teng asked with a smile, "Brother, how about you?" ?”

"Okay, of course." Cheng Xi also followed his words and discussed the decoration of the bookstore with him, "What do you want the floor to look like?" Cheng Xi watched Su Teng's slender eyebrows slightly raised, full of energy, Can't help but smile.The little guy in front of him always has a way to make him think that he must work harder to let my brother live a good life; and there is always a way to make him feel that even if he only opens a small husband-and-wife shop with the little guy, he will definitely be happy for the rest of his life. Very happy.

After graduation, Su Teng stayed in the school to teach directly. Now it is March, and the school will not start until September. Now that he has half a year of free time, Cheng Xi naturally lets him do his best.

Su Teng was full of energy, so he ran back to live in the city. The house in the city was close to Dongda University, and it took less than half an hour to walk to the bookstore.After Su Teng designed the idea by himself, he hired a decoration company to install it, and spent all day in the store monitoring the progress.The bookstore is still some distance away from the school, and there are not many people around. Spring has just started recently, the sun sets early, and it gets dark after six o’clock in the afternoon. Cheng Xi is worried that Su Teng will walk home alone, and he doesn’t work overtime recently. Just go to the bookstore to pick him up.

Originally, the land around the side gate was reserved for the expansion of the campus. Later, the current principal felt that the old campus should retain the quaint features, and rejected the proposal of expansion with a wave of his hand, so the land could be sold out.As soon as Cheng Xi got the news, he bought the small second floor of the bookstore.

This place is close to the school, and when it develops in the future, students will naturally go here. If the school is willing to sell it, at least it must ensure that it is not used for some random purpose, involving many complicated things, and it is really not something that ordinary people can buy.Of course, Chengxi is not among the average people, and there are quite a lot of houses for him to choose from. The location of the bookstore that he finally chose for Su Teng is convenient and independent. Even if there are more shops around in the future, it will not be affected and it will be too noisy.

After a month of tossing around, the decoration of the bookstore was completed, and it took another month to add furniture and purchase books. On the day of Lixia in May, the bookstore named "Waiting" officially opened.

The bookstore has a large space. When you enter the first floor, there are retro wood-grained bookshelves on the four walls, and exquisite books are placed in a patchwork order. The same series of wood-grained tables and chairs are placed around, and there is a wood-grained bar. On the bar A small sign was set up, with a thin and delicate font, which read: Please take your own drinks.There was a small wooden basket next to it, and it was written in the same font: Just give me the money.There is also a smiley face on the back.

There is a small door behind the bar, and behind the door is a small compartment with simple and chic decoration, a few pots of thriving flowers on the windowsill, a small bed, and a rocking chair beside the bed.The cubicle was made at Cheng Xi's request, and it was said that it was convenient for Su Teng to rest, and sometimes he could take a nap when he came to the store.Of course, Su Teng couldn't guess Cheng Xi's actual thoughts. Hearing what he said made sense, so he acted according to what he said.The small bed was chosen by Cheng Xi himself, the cushion is soft, it is very comfortable to lie on, and most importantly... firm.

The wooden stairs leading to the second floor are covered with a carpet, so that people will not make any noise when stepping on them.Going up the wooden ladder, several walls on the second floor are built into built-in bookcases, which contain some photographic works and some books.Then there are large floor-to-ceiling windows, which make the whole room full of light. Two chairs and a small wooden table are placed beside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There was no ceremony held on the opening day, and even Su Teng didn't expect anyone to come.The location of the bookstore is too remote, and even the students of Dongda University rarely come here.However, he opened this bookstore originally for his own hobbies, and even bought books that he only chose, and he didn't expect customers.But I didn't expect that many people actually came when it opened. Du Feng, Liu Wei and Qian Fan didn't know the people they knew, there were more than a dozen people they didn't know, and there were even reporters taking pictures.

After thinking about it, Su Teng knew that Cheng Xi made it for him, and he was grateful and funny at the same time.Sure enough, Cheng Xi came over in person after a while, and two porters came with him, carrying a rectangular thing.Cheng Xi greeted them into the bookstore: "Be careful, put your things here."

When the things were put down, the porters withdrew.The thing they moved in was covered by a red cloth, and they didn't know what it was.Su Teng tugged at Cheng Xi's sleeve, his eyes were full of curiosity: "Brother?"

Cheng Xi smiled: "Open it and have a look, it's my opening gift for you."

"There are still gifts for the opening." Su Teng smiled back at him, and took two steps to remove the red cloth - inside was a rosewood zither. "Huh?" Su Teng looked at the guzheng in surprise and curiosity, stretched out his index finger and plucked the strings, making a nice sound.

"Didn't you worry about what music to play in this bookstore for a long time? From my point of view, Guzheng music is very good. This Guzheng also matches the decoration of your house. I bought it for you when I saw it." Cheng Xi said explain.

Put the guzheng there, even if no one is playing it, it can still be a good decoration, making the whole bookstore even more antique.

Cheng Xi had explained to the invited reporters beforehand that Su Teng was not good at communicating with strangers, and told them not to scare him.So the reporters took photos of the bookstore's decoration in a proper manner, focusing on the details that reflect the unique thoughts.When Cheng Xi arrived, he communicated with them for a while instead of Su Teng.You know, it is extremely difficult to interview the chairman and CEO of Xiteng.Everyone knows that Cheng Xi has always kept a low profile and doesn't like to show his face in front of the media. This opportunity is something that many reporters can't wait for.

The opening ceremony was also briefly passed. Although it was not grand, it could be called a small sparrow with complete internal organs.

When the business hours ended in the afternoon, the guests who came to join us greeted Cheng Xi one by one before leaving one after another.Cheng Xi led Su Teng home, because it was the first day of business, the little guy felt a little uneasy, fearing that he would not treat the guests well, so he ran up and down all day.Later, Cheng Xi regretted it in his heart, why did he call so many people?Kai was happy, but it also exhausted Su Teng.

At this moment, the little guy was walking slowly, looking a little tired.Cheng Xi said distressedly: "It's all my fault that I didn't think carefully. I called so many people here. Are you tired?"

"Not tired." The little guy shook his head, obviously tired physically, but still full of energy.

"I can understand that you were excited on the first day. You can't be so busy all day in the future. You don't need to take care of your shop. You can sit there when you want to read a book. Don't really think you are a businessman." Cheng Xi still took the opportunity to explain clearly to him.

Su Teng nodded to show that he listened.Originally, the bookstore was just for my own hobby, but today when there were not many people left, everyone was reading books quietly, a business partner of Cheng Xi deliberately came over and said to Su Teng: "You are a good place here. The place to go can adjust the mood very much, I sat here for an afternoon, and felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed, as if... I found something."

The business partner couldn't describe clearly, but Su Teng grasped the connotation of his words at once, took his words and said, "I have found my peace of mind." The business partner nodded repeatedly: "That's the truth."

Inspired by this, Su Teng felt that his bookstore might be of some use.He thought about it, positioning this bookstore at the level of "quietness" and "seeking self".Originally, the pace of life in Dongbin was fast, and successful people like them must face greater pressure. It may be a good way to adjust your mood if you come to sit occasionally.

Su Teng was still thinking, the big guy next to him stretched out his big hands to caress his face, moved his head closer, and sprayed directly on his face: "Why is the bookstore called 'waiting'?"

The name of the bookstore was given by Su Teng himself. At that time, Cheng Xi casually asked what the name of the bookstore should be. Unexpectedly, the little guy said "wait" without hesitation, without any meaning of explanation.It's open today, Cheng Xi couldn't help it, and asked this question anyway.

After waiting for a long time, the little guy raised his head, his smooth and white neck drew a beautiful arc, showing a delicate pointed chin, and smiled shyly: "Because I was just waiting there, you found me. I think... So lucky."

There was less youthfulness in the thin voice, and more calmness, which made Cheng Xi very ironic.Cheng Xi's big hand was still on Su Teng's shoulder, and he went over and touched his face: "It's not in vain to hurt you."

As the sky was getting dark, the two of them were walking hand in hand on the road. The tall young man suddenly tilted his head to take advantage of the small man's unpreparedness, and lowered his head to kiss him on the forehead.The little man blushed and looked around, summoned up the courage to hold the tall young man, tiptoed and touched the tall young man's cheek with his lips.

This shot is as beautiful as a painting.
