writing coffee

"You are awesome, Manager Murong!"

This Saturday, Xiao Churan unexpectedly appeared in my store alone at night. As a person who just got his wish and fell in love not long ago, it is really difficult for him.Although he praised me eccentrically as soon as he entered the door, rounding it up, he praised me. There are other customers in the store, so I feel embarrassed.

"Thank you~" I replied politely.

"Thank you for your size!" He walked to the bar and commented in a low voice, "Shameless~"

I spread my hands and put on the most innocent look, I haven't done anything outrageous recently!

"You are not allowed to step into the 'Writing Coffee' for a month, thank you for thinking it out!" He suddenly said wretchedly, "I am so afraid of Maizi meeting Qianli, I doubt your intentions~ Come on, tell your story!"

I understand, Uncle Xiao is thinking too much.

Is it too late to explain that this similarity is purely coincidental?It must be too late.So I decided to retort, the situation is already very serious, and I must never lose with my mouth, that's the reason.

"Help me tell Maizi that it's too much to watch the excitement in the name of visiting friends. Now that the excitement is gone, even the friends are gone. Is this kind of friend going to break up? If it's serious, they will turn against each other. .”

Xiao Churan conveyed it to me right away.He opened WeChat and sent a voice message to Maizi, saying succinctly: "Maizi, Murong said he wants to break up with you."

Amazing my Uncle Xiao, "Uncle Xiao, you are really awesome!"

"Thank you!" he said.

I really want to hang a sign at the door that says "Xiao Churan is not allowed to enter!" Unfortunately, Uncle Xiao is not Qianli, so I can't help him.

Counting carefully, I have known Xiao Churan for a little over five years.At that time, I hadn’t finished my junior year, so I decided to give up my studies and open a coffee shop. Apart from two years of part-time job experience in coffee shops and the artistic feelings flowing in my blood, I had nothing else to do.And Xiao Churan has graduated two years ago, and he has a small studio with his classmates, and he is just showing his talents.

Without Xiao Churan, there would be no "writing coffee" today. This sentence is simple to understand, and there is nothing wrong with it.Looking back on my decision to drop out of school and open a store, even if it was not a "temporary" impulse, it was an impulse.I am a fledgling, reckless and ignorant, not full of enthusiasm but stubborn, if it is not for Xiao Churan, I am afraid that I will not even be able to open the store in the end.

In the beginning, he was only introduced by others to design the signboards. Later, because of the fate of "coffee and poetry", I entrusted him with all the design and decoration matters and even the image of the entire store.He, on the other hand, offered the greatest benefit a partner could offer, and at the same time gave all the enthusiasm a friend could give.

I asked him if he wanted to take some "store image consultant and management" technology stocks or something, and he said, you give me a "lifetime free" membership card, and these are my duties.So, hang a sign at the door that prohibits Xiao Churan from entering, and I can only talk about it.

"Would you like to post another photo of my ID next to it? By the way, put the business card on it too, maybe you can get some big business." Uncle Xiao reached for the business card in his pocket as he spoke.

"Business cards can be considered, but photos are not. I'm afraid it will affect the business of the store."

In fact, he doesn’t need to take out his business card. There is a souvenir display area next to the bar, which is also a souvenir with a logo specially designed by Uncle Xiao’s studio for “Writing Coffee”: notebooks, cups, hand-painted maps, key chains, with store seals and postmarks postcards... Wait, there is a stack of business cards from the studio and Uncle Xiao himself.

"Then let it go, let's put a human figure stand?" Xiao Churan followed suit, but then changed the subject sharply, "That may not be able to do business directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guests came in. I raised my chin and looked down at him, "Excuse me, I have a guest, sir, please borrow it~"

"Tsk, it's you who's ungrateful for profit!"

Then Uncle Xiao sat alone in the corner playing with his mobile phone, completely forgotten by me until I walked out of the bar to remind customers to close in 10 minutes.But at that moment, I didn't feel guilty at all, because I unfortunately noticed that Uncle Xiao's name displayed in the WeChat chat window was, McDull... I don't think I will be able to look directly at Maizi's mature and sexy face and graceful figure. posture.

After all the guests left, Uncle Xiao helped to take back the cups on the table, and then leaned on the bar counter to watch me wash the cups and find fault.

"I can't believe it, you didn't help me make coffee just now, but you didn't even help me get a glass of water! I have to start thinking about the meaning of friends to life."

There was no fluctuation in my heart and I even wanted to sneer a little. "What did you realize?"

"Still thinking, do you have any unique insights?"

"Really."

"Oh?"

"It's not unique, it's just my personal experience."

"tell me the story."

"A single friend doesn't mean much to life. For example, you are dispensable to me." I glanced at him and emphasized the meaning of the words with my eyes. "But if there are too many of them, if one of them shamelessly mixes up with the other, it will be a kind of malice, for example, if you follow, Mai, Dou, Dou."

"Hahaha how do you know my remarks!" Xiao Churan laughed, although what he was asking was how I knew, but the expression on his face showed no doubt at all, and some were just superficial, vulgar and malicious showing off.

I don't even want to hum.

"Hey, in order to prove that I am not optional, I sincerely invite you to go to Tengchong next month to see the leaves soaking in the hot springs. No, you are soaking in the hot springs while watching the autumn leaves flying all over the sky! Go for five days, and I will pay for everything It’s covered, from air tickets and accommodation to a bottle of mineral water, and the little one will follow behind and help you pay for it! How is it?”

Well, there is still a little sincerity, but unfortunately...

"At the same time," Xiao Churan didn't wait for my opinion, "In order to express our goodwill, we also made an appointment with Xiaoqianli." After speaking, he looked at me with a smug expression, as if this was such a wise decision .

I just can't understand, "Are you sure it's not a deeper malice?"

"How could it be? I'm not afraid that you will think that my love for Maizi and I will make your eyes hot, so I found you a partner." He said it without changing his face, and it was taken for granted, "Besides, Qianli—— "

"If you dare to give me the theory of three aunts and six wives, I will break up with you first."

"..."

I'm really convinced by his and Maizi's ideas.How could I agree to take Qianli with me when I travel with them?How could they think that I would agree to such a thing?

"Are you serious, Xiao Churan?"

Maybe it was because my brows were too deep, Xiao Churan put away his joking gesture immediately, and replied seriously, "It's just a suggestion, you stay calm."

I couldn't help saying, "Don't mention this kind of non-constructive opinion in the future, or I will doubt your IQ."

He began to feel helpless, "Haven't you thought about reflecting on yourself?"

What he was referring to was my erratic and erratic temperament.

As long as I want, I can chat and laugh with others casually, but at the same time, I can stop talking and laughing.I can sometimes appear cold and uninteresting to people I don't know well, and at the same time be teased by people I know well who accuse me of being mean.I can eat and drink with a large group of ordinary friends, sing K, go clubbing and be the one who incites the atmosphere, but I can't bear to go to a coffee shop with an ordinary friend to kill time.I draw the line very clearly, that is, the difference between "joking" and "heart-to-heart talk", but it seems to others to be very weird, moody, and erratic.

Things like traveling together must be very good friends, otherwise, I would rather be alone.Xiao Churan and Maizi are very good friends—except for the two of them, there are not many people—I have traveled with them many times, because we couldn’t book a hotel, the three of us shared a room, and Maizi and I lay on the bed Xiao Churan I've done things like sleeping on the floor before, but Qianli, we haven't even seen a movie together...

"I think this is a personal hobby, and there is no need to reflect on it."

"Hmph, you just wait to die alone!" Xiao Churan concluded indignantly.

"Did you tell Qianli?"

"Of course not, I just know how dead you are, so I won't trap myself in injustice." He looked like I had expected you to say this, "Just the three of us, on the 15th, I'll be there later Book a ticket, don't worry, don't fly."

"Couldn't it be another time?" This was an objection I wanted to raise from the start, and I might not have time in the next month.

"This is the best time. The autumn scenery is the best there at this time, and I am not compatible with Maizi's vacation. You, a free man, can only unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements without any objection." This is an international practice, and I have always Don't care about time, as long as it's not a holiday, it's up to them.

But this time is a bit special, I tried my best to say plainly, "I can't go in the middle of the month, you two just treat it as a honeymoon, don't think about my feelings."

"Huh? What's the situation? Is there anything more important than our trip together?! Don't tell me--" Uncle Xiao expressed his shock, and at the same time he had an answer that he wanted to come out of inexplicably.It has to be said that in some respects, Xiao Churan still has some keen intuition.

I glanced at him and tentatively said, "Yan Qian will come over here next month to deal with some matters."

Unexpectedly, he calmed down instead. He caught all the loopholes in my sentence very accurately and was aggressive, "When is next month? How long will you stay? What are you going to do?"

I do not know.

He took a deep breath, sighed suddenly, then looked at me very seriously, and said to me in an almost loving tone, "Murong, I think we need to talk."

"Talking about what?" I asked knowingly, just trying to look casual.

"Talk lightly."

Oh.
