thousand cups

Shen Chaowen threw his schoolbag on the empty chair casually, sat down in front of the bar with a blank expression, took out his mobile phone and started replying messages.

Zhang Ziyi sent him Chao Wen, I found the case of the practical training project, and it has been sent to your mailbox, remember to check it.The senior of the debate team sent him a message——Chao Wen, W University has temporarily arranged a friendly match with us, are you interested?The captain of the basketball team sent him a message - Chao Wen, I still want to discuss with you, can you still play small forward next time?The counselor sent him a message - each class leader and party branch secretary please come to the small conference room for a meeting at 14:00 on Friday.Someone he doesn't know sends him a message—Hi, junior, do you have a girlfriend?

These are his lives.It's boring, but it's fulfilling and can fill your life to the brim.He's trying to keep himself busy, look, these are the proofs, he's not that busy, he's got something to do every day, someone's always looking for him, he's needed.

After answering the news that should be answered, Shen Chaowen let out a sigh of relief, and took out a professional book from his schoolbag to read.

However, after reading for a long time, he couldn't see anything, so he could only close the book resignedly.

Sophia watched him at the bar for a long time, and after a long time, she couldn't help but yelled: "Chaowen!"

He looked up.

Sophia asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"what?"

"Why do you feel absent-minded?"

Shen Chaowen was silent for two seconds, "No."

"You don't usually throw things away, you handle them with care." Sophia analyzed seriously, "You just threw your schoolbag, and your phone is heavier than usual, and you even took a picture of the book."

……yes.

"Sister Su Ya." Shen Chaowen prefers to call her by this name, "I'm really fine, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me."

"I'm not busy tonight. Look for yourself. There's no one at your brother's table." She dragged the chair over, "Are you too tired? Are there a lot of school things lately?"

"Fortunately."

Jiang Mo often came here to drink, and Shen Chaowen came here to pick him up more times, and gradually became good friends with Sophia.Generally, Shen Chaowen will help out when the store is busy, and chat with her when he is not busy.

Sophia propped her head up and looked at him: "How about watching a movie? You pick one, and I'll play it."

Shen Chaowen still shook his head: "Don't watch it, I'll be in a daze."

It's really a bit abnormal... You don't even read a book today, you want to be in a daze?

Sophia watched him from the sidelines for a long time, thinking of finding something for him to do, took out a deck of cards from the bar, and asked with a smile: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, do you want to count a Tarot?"

Tarot?

Shen Chaowen looked at the cards in her hand, and after thinking for a few seconds, asked in a strange way: "Are you sure?"

He doesn't believe in these things, and he has never been interested in them, but today Shen Chaowen inexplicably wants to seek some comfort, even if it is fake or ethereal, it doesn't matter.

Sophia boasted: "My sister is going to make an expensive one for someone else outside. It's a hundred tests and a hundred times! I will do it for you for free today."

"No, I'll pass it on to you at the price."

"Okay. What do you want to ask? Studies? Fortune? You should ask about studies! I'll make you a question about studies..."

Shen Chaowen interrupted her: "I want to ask about feelings."

Sophia was covered with a black cloth mat, her expression froze instantly: "Ah? Feelings?"

Ask about feelings?

This handsome ascetic guy with a look of unfeeling renunciation actually has relationship problems? ?

Sophia was really surprised, and was stunned for a long time.

Shen Chaowen looked back at her calmly, and repeated: "Well, I want to ask about my relationship, is that okay?"

Look at each other for a few seconds.

"Of course! Feelings, I'm the best. There are many little girls who come to count Tarot, and they basically ask this." Sophia regained her composure, "I'll give you the whole powerful... How about Venus? This card The formation is more complicated, and it was Jiang Mo who taught me."

"Well, yes."

It was rare for Shen Chaowen to be so out of his mind. Sophia had already laid out the cards and opened the lecture for a long time. He was not in the state the whole time and listened in a daze.

Venus, the god of love, the card array is the symbol of Venus.The eight cards were listed in order, corresponding up and down. She pointed to the upper part, which was the will, and pointed to the lower part, the reality.

"The number one card refers to your opinion of that person. This card is reversed, the Holy Grail Knight." She pointed at the first card and said, "Look at the card, the Holy Grail Knight is holding the Holy Grail and riding a horse. Moving forward, he is faced with a choice, thinking whether to wait or move forward. When this card is reversed, it means depression. Are your feelings stagnant?"

Standing still, Shen Chaowen repeated these four words in his heart.

He didn't know whether it was stagnant or not.Life seems to be the same, but the world in his heart has long been turned upside down.

A year and a half, more than 500 days, Shen Chaowen went to pick up Jiang Mo countless times in the middle of the night, sometimes carrying, sometimes carrying, sometimes hugging, sometimes just supporting.He was actually very happy during those days, because there were only the two of them on the way to send Jiang Mo back, and he could monopolize that time.That person has a strong desire to express when he is drunk, he is funny and cute, and he can talk a lot on his own, which no one else has heard, only he knows, he can talk about the poems he wrote in high school, how I used a drone to shoot a kite, and said that I found a small treasure restaurant a few days ago, and we will go to eat together tomorrow.He loves to laugh, his eyes are usually fine, but when he smiles, they are crescent-shaped, they look very bright and gentle.

Perhaps because of being greedy for all this, Shen Chaowen didn't want to break this status quo, and even hopelessly thought that it would be good to just take over Jiang Mo for the rest of his life.

Anyway, I concealed it very well, and that person is too nervous to notice anything, so I can just stay with him for the rest of my life, isn't it okay?

"Card No. 3, it tells the other party's opinion of you. This card is reversed, the [-] of scepters." Sophia paused, "Well... how do you say this card, look at the card, a person Standing on the mountain overlooking the sea, you are about to set sail and leave. If this card is reversed, it means that the other party has reservations about you, which is rather vague."

People are indeed leaving, very accurate, Shen Chaowen thought.Well, the man is leaving tomorrow, to France.

"Now look at the number seven card. This card represents the opponent's influence on you, let me see..." Sophia suddenly smiled, "The opponent is older than you and has brought you a lot of influence, right?"

Shen Chaowen thought for a while and nodded.

Sophia said: "Well, that's right, the number seven card is the right position, the wheel of fortune. The meaning of the card is that because of the other party, your life will change. You have grown a lot and have a new life."

The wheel of fate.

Shen Chaowen looked at the card she was pointing at and suddenly felt very tired.He raised his hand to take off his glasses, rubbed between his brows, and put them on again.

Got a new life?Too.He took the initiative to walk into the besieged city that he built. No one else could get in, and he couldn't get out either.It is indeed a new life.

"The number five card represents the obstacle of this relationship." Sophia clicked another card, "This card is the right place, the world. It represents a cycle, an unbreakable cycle, which means your relationship will be like..."

In the middle of her speech, a head suddenly leaned over quietly, and said quietly: "Playing Tarot? Oh, Wei, Venus? Shen Chaowen, how can you play..."

Shen Chaowen's heart tightened, and he immediately reached out to disrupt the array of cards in front of him.Jiang Mo yelled beside him, and stretched out his hand to grab the cards, but because he was drunk and unstable, he didn't grab the cards, and fell into his arms unsteadily.

Shen Chaowen helplessly supported his waist: "...you stand still."

Jiang Mo ignored him, and was stopped by him drunkenly, he still wanted to get the cards: "Let me see, Shen Chaowen, why don't you ask me if you want to play Tarot! Your brother is a professional in Tarot, you go The whole Shanghai Beach inquired about..."

I can't talk anymore.Sophia collected the cards calmly, and said to Shen Chaowen: "Take it away, I'm too drunk."

Shen Chaowen nodded, grabbed the bag beside him, and skillfully carried Jiang Mo to say goodbye to his cronies.They hugged drunkenly, talking nonsense like see you next year.

After getting into the car, Jiang Mo, who was so drunk, threw his head on Shen Chaowen's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "How to make the Venus card array, do you have someone you like?"

Shen Chaowen moved the position of his head so that he could lean more comfortably, and replied perfunctorily, "Yes."

"Who is it?" Jiang Mo was curious, "In school? A classmate? Why haven't I heard you say that!"

Shen Chaowen didn't answer him this time, and turned his face to look at the car window.

Jiang Mo waited for a long time without hearing him speak, and asked strangely: "Tell me, who do you like?"

"There's nothing to say, don't ask."

Even if he was drunk, he could hear the indifference and resistance in his words.

Jiang Mo was puzzled for a few seconds, raised his head, and began to look at Shen Chaowen seriously.

He could feel that Shen Chaowen had matured a lot over the past year.Unconsciously, he grew a little taller, his shoulders became wider, and he seemed to become more silent and stable.

But he doesn't like to talk about himself more and more.It's fine if you don't talk about those things in school, but now there are people you like who don't tell me...

Looking at him now, Jiang Mo felt as if his own child had grown up and stopped kissing him.

……worry.

Jiang Mo touched his head: "You don't want to tell brother? Tell me."

What annoys him the most is touching his head and flirting.Shen Chaowen grabbed his groping hand and pressed it on his knee: "Okay, don't make trouble."

...Why is this person so weird?

Seems a little impatient.

Jiang Mo squinted his eyes to observe Shen Chaowen for a long time, and suddenly remembered what Tang Li said before - he always felt that he was angry recently.

At this moment Jiang Mo felt that this person was indeed a little unhappy.

But what is he unhappy about?He is still holding back when he is leaving tomorrow!

Jiang Mo said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you showing your ugly face to?"

Shen Chaowen was still looking at the car window, not daring to look at him.

"I just have this expression."

Jiang Mo frowned, and pulled his arm: "Can you look at people when you speak?"

"Don't make noise when you're drunk." Shen Chaowen still didn't look at him, "Calm down for a while."

"What are you messing with me?"

"No."

"..." Jiang Mo heaved a long sigh, "Why do you have a bad face without you? Have I provoked you these days?"

Shen Chaowen slowly took out a wet tissue from his pocket to help him wipe his hands, and changed the subject abruptly: "Did you go to France because of that pen pal?"

He changed the topic too quickly, Jiang Mo didn't keep up for a while, and answered in doubt: "Huh?"

"I ask, is it because of that pen pal that you went there to study?" Shen Chaowen said in a flat tone, "Do you want to find that person?"

"What does that have to do with it? I went to study, okay! No... why are you bringing this up?"

"Is there no school in China for you to study? Why do you want to go abroad?" Shen Chaowen said in a sarcasm, "Well, you worship foreigners."

"Teach foreigners to learn skills to control foreigners, do you understand?" Jiang Mo asked inexplicably, "Movies were born in France, and the artistic atmosphere there is good. Is it okay for me to study?"

"Would you go without that pen pal?"

"...What the hell kind of question are you talking about?"

Shen Chaowen remained expressionless: "Ask, I'm curious."

With that said, I finished wiping my hands.He bowed his head and began to organize the used wet tissues, without speaking.

But Jiang Mo's drunken little head was full of question marks at the moment. He didn't know if Shen Chaowen had taken some wrong medicine, and his speech was yin and yang.

After thinking about it for a long time, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

Jiang Mo decided to teach him a few words.

"It's not that I said you, pulling your face all day long will make people think you are fierce, you know? Sometimes I'm afraid that you won't make friends in school!" He pointed, "I didn't make you grin and giggle every day. , which means that you usually have a normal expression, you know?"

Shen Chaowen turned his head to look at the car window and ignored him.

"Also, don't always keep silent about everything, you have to communicate with others." Jiang Mo said, "Is it interesting to be bored all day thinking about it by yourself? What do you mean if I don't talk about others? I put you Look at it as my own brother, what are you doing so secretively to me all day long!"

Take me as a relative, younger brother, younger brother.

Shen Chaowen sneered: "I dare to say it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to listen."

Jiang Mo was completely at a loss: "What am I afraid to listen to? Tell me, and I will listen with all my ears."

Shen Chaowen didn't plan to talk to him at first, but he thought about it and let him go.The bad thing is that Jiang Mo was still asking him desperately, pulling his arm, getting closer and closer, provocative words: "Say it! What can I not dare to listen to? I said it before I left, and I will listen to it." Evening is fine..."

The emotions that have been accumulated for a long time are bumping in the chest, knocking on the chest again and again, very painful and loud.

Shen Chaowen took a deep breath, turned his head to stare at him, and replied irritably: "I like that man as a man! Is that enough? Do you still want to hear it?!"

The car came to a sudden stop.

Due to inertia, Jiang Mo's body was slapped on the seat... The wine he drank before was not fully digested, and it was all pressed in his stomach.The driver in the front seat felt something, turned his head and said loudly: "You two, here we are, hey, don't... spit out two hundred on the car, get off the car! Spit on two hundred on the car!!"
