writing coffee

It was a breezy March day.

I was walking on the side of the road, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the air was mediocre, but the sun was just right.The shops along the street are sleepy, their festive makeup has not been removed, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves hang down and their tassels sway gently in the breeze.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has just passed, and winter in the south is ready to take over from summer. It always does it by itself, never under the guise of spring.So this is a season of uncertainty, hot and cold, and elusive.

This is the season when kapok blooms.

A few days ago, the tree was full of flower buds. Someone patrolled this road like a sentinel every day. The police felt like a shepherd dog, but found nothing.

Now, as soon as I turned into Kapok Road, I just raised my head inadvertently, and saw the flame-like color burning fiercely in broad daylight. Although there are only a few flowers blooming sporadically, it is enough to burn my heart.I couldn't help but stop, stood where I was, and looked up at the most beautiful flower that bloomed against the blue sky and white clouds. In this mundane world full of traffic, it was so beautiful that it seemed a little thrilling.

Unfortunately, someone started school today.

As I lifted my feet and continued to walk, I thought, if I told her that the kapok was open, would she come running directly from the school?Hmm... She might be in class, and then suddenly bounced off the seat with her mobile phone, so she was detained by the teacher... By the way, college students should not be detained, right? What are you doing here?Clean up the classroom?Ideological and moral education?Or copy the notes of that class ten times?How about cleaning up...

"Murong!"

Just when I was thinking wildly and wildly, the person who was detained in my mind just now suddenly appeared from nowhere and jumped in front of me, grabbed my arm with one hand, pointed to the sky with the other, and said excitedly: "Look! "

I was taken aback by her, but after I swallowed the frightened mouth, there was still a little sweetness of surprise in my mouth, as if another kapok bloomed quietly.

"Look at what?"

"The kapok is open!" She let go of my arm, pulled my wrist down and shook it gently, looking at me eagerly, the gemstones in her eyes shining brightly in the sun.

I blinked my dazed eyes, and of course I wouldn't tell her that I had seen them a long time ago... I glanced at them copingly, "I only opened a few."

"You—!" She let go of my hand, widened her eyes, and took a deep breath.

I raised my eyebrows, what am I?

She stared at me and gritted her teeth for a while, and finally turned her head away with a heavy "Huh!" and ignored me.

Haha.

"Aren't you starting school today? Don't you need to report to school?"

She pursed her lips, trying to maintain her pride, but couldn't help but said, "Let me take a look at my kapok."

When did it become your kapok?

"What are you laughing at?" She glared at me.

"You can't even smile now?" I looked at her in disbelief, "I said before that I wanted to see me smile at you every day..."

She unconsciously showed a shy smile, but immediately held it back with her lips tightly pressed together. After holding it for a while, she finally became angry and said viciously, "When tomorrow the whole tree is full of flowers, don't deny it! "Then without looking back... actually left.

I raised my eyes and watched her disappear into the far corner of the street, and found that the traffic at this moment was constantly flowing, and the noise became cute.

At noon, Xiao Churan came to see me.

When he came, there was no one in the store, and I was just adorning the doorway, admiring the kapok, so he taunted him as soon as he came up, "Hey, is the business so bad? How about thinking about life?"

I squinted at him, "What's there to think about in life? I'm studying natural science. You don't understand about the change of seasons, flowers blooming and falling." I lowered my head and continued with the matter at hand, "Besides, the angle I just had was obviously six-pointed. Ten."

"Oh, it's amazing." He curled his lips and urged: "Go in quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

He told me a few days ago that he wanted me to help write the invitation, the wedding invitation for him and Maizi.It’s not the kind of wedding banquet with hundreds of people, but the kind of small wedding with a dozen relatives and friends, a couple of relatives, two dresses, a bouquet of flowers, and a lot of warmth. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to write it with ten hands.

This news is not sudden to me, but it is still too soon. I thought it would be at least half a year.But after thinking about it, their relationship has actually been cultivated for many years, and it's just a ceremony, so it's only natural.

"Your duck is cooked, why worry? Are you afraid that the wheat will fly? Wait for me for 5 minutes."

"Who's in a hurry? I'm in a hurry to meet the client!" He grabbed me by the hand, "Come here first and I'll tell you the details. I'm on a business trip tomorrow, so write when you have time."

"Why do you have a wedding when you are so busy? Just get a certificate and Maizi will understand you." I couldn't help but sarcasm.

Xiao Churan smiled, and retorted, "There are some things you can't envy about Murong, just look away a little bit, and we will all understand you."

I deeply disagree, envy?I never thought marriage was an enviable thing.But he was still pulled in to listen to him explain a lot of details.

When he finished explaining and was about to leave, Xiao Churan suddenly added, "Oh, by the way, I don't plan to hire a wedding company anymore, I can arrange the venue myself, but," he laughed, "Maybe I have to borrow from you guys." Jia Xiaoqianli uses it, you have no objection?"

"Use it." I said.

"Oh." He was quite bored, turned around and walked out. When he was almost at the door, he stopped suddenly, paused for two seconds, then turned to face me, and confirmed, "Borrow 'your family' Xiaoqianli Oh?"

I couldn't help laughing in my heart, looked at him with interest, and said again, "Use it."

He was excited.

The excited Xiao Churan was not even in a hurry to see the client, he slapped his head, turned around and walked back in two steps, and slapped his hands on the bar counter, "Is that what I understand? Ah? "

I raised my eyebrows: "How do you understand?"

He looked surprised: "You were picked up by that wolf cub Qianli?!"

...what the hell?

"Aren't you in a hurry to see a client?"

"Hahaha!" He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed out a series of repeated characters, and then went out happily on his own.

Neuropathy……

As soon as this guy left, the number of customers increased, but few sat down to read books, but many ordered beans.There is also a customer who seems to want to buy a set of hand pouring equipment, but unfortunately I can't sell it.She asked me why I did not produce a few utensils, with the exclusive logo of "writing coffee" like other souvenirs in the store? "Look, there are all the cups, plus a colander, a grinder..." she said.

But our "exclusive" designer, Mr. Xiao, is not professional at all, and besides, he is getting married.

In short, I was a bit busy today, and it was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the desertedness finally returned.

However, there are still customers in the store. A student-looking boy is reading comic books in the corner. A young lady is working with a computer. She seems to be working nearby. She has been here for several days after work. Every day Order a different coffee, today is "Brazilian Yellow Bourbon", a rare boutique from a big coffee country whose quality has been lowered by quantity.There is also a gentleman who is choosing books in front of the bookcase.

At 10:09, the gentleman had already left, and I reminded the remaining two guests to close in 30 minutes, then hung up the "Closing" sign and went into the bar for final cleaning.Tomorrow Tuesday, I will take inventory and order tonight, and it is estimated that I will not be able to leave until [-]:[-].

The boy was the last to leave. Before he left, he bought the unfinished comic book. When I was about to lock the door, someone came in again.

"Sorry," I turned around, "...we're closed."

"I know, that's why I'm here to pick you up from get off work~" Jane the wolf cub seemed to be in a good mood, and he smiled at night with a feeling that the sun was shining in broad daylight.

She got in, moved a chair consciously and sat down in front of the bar, looked at me with her chin propped up, a smile that couldn't be concealed flew out from the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Lock the door," I said.

"Oh." She ran over to lock the door, ran back, and continued to look at me with her chin propped up.

Hehe, is this... teasing me?

I put down the inventory form in my hand, propped my hands on the edge of the bar, and looked down at her condescendingly, "What's so happy?"

I guess, her Uncle Xiao has already communicated with her about "borrowing".

Sure enough, she didn't back down at all, she raised her neck, met my gaze, and said softly, "Are you going to lend me to Uncle Xiao?"

She tried hard to show a kind of self-satisfaction that exposed my duplicity, but it was still unavoidable to be a little uneasy, there was a trace of hope in her eyes, and a kind of shyness in her expression, so shy that it was almost sweet.

The sweetness was like the charming floral fragrance of her favorite Yirgacheffe, which prompted me to bow my head and kiss her lips.

She was stunned.

She opened her eyes incredulously, her eyelashes fluttered, like a frightened animal, she stared at me in a daze... After a long while, she suddenly covered her face with both hands, covering her face tightly, only revealing Two red ears are vivid under my gaze.

I wanted to pinch her ears, but I was afraid of ruining the beauty in front of me, so I had to watch quietly. It doesn't matter if I take stock and do it later.

After a while, this guy quietly opened his fingers and peeked at me from between his fingers. I caught him straight away, so he didn't hide it at all, and showed me his open and happy eyes, almost showing off her beauty to the whole world. Joy.

Really... I smiled and shook my head, continued with the work in hand, and let her go.

After finishing the order, I locked the store door and walked downstairs. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. I stepped into the elevator, looked at someone who followed me, and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say it was delivered downstairs?"

She bared her teeth and showed no embarrassment at all, "It's all downstairs, it's not too late, let's deliver it to the door~"

"That's right, it's really hard work, do you want to go in and have a glass of water before leaving?" I cooperated with her performance.

"This is the best." She replied with a smile.

I couldn't help but pat her on the head as a punishment, this guy has been in a state of excitement all night, and he is almost carried away.

She took the opportunity to grab my arm and hugged me tightly, "It's hard to get a taxi at this point, Murong, even if I go back to the school dormitory, it's closed, and it's not safe for me to take a taxi at night as a girl..."

With a calm face, I quietly listened to her nonsense, counting carefully to see how many reasons she could come up with.

"...I can get up and make you breakfast tomorrow morning!" She seemed to find this very convincing, she unconsciously raised her voice, and looked at me expectantly while hanging on me.

The elevator door opened with a "ding", and I stepped out, ignoring her gaze. Anyway, she had already confirmed that I would not drive her away.

However, after only one step, I stopped, like an intelligent robot whose program was forcibly closed, and froze in place.The lights in the aisle were dim but not dim. I saw a person standing outside my house, and it was superficial.

She stood with half of her body leaning against the wall, posing in a lazy posture, as if she had been waiting for me like this for a long time, but when she saw me, she didn't move at all, she just twitched the corners of her mouth as a greeting, and even moved her hands Don't lift it.

This is not the shallow words I know.

The Yan Qian I know is always graceful and just right, the Yan Qian I know will never make such a rude gesture in front of others, it is impossible for the Yan Qian I know to be so shameless.If one day she was standing but bent over, it must be because she couldn't stand straight at all.

She is injured.

When I realized this, I also realized that Qianli was by my side at the moment, and before she could let go of her arms holding me, the innocent expression on her face had completely faded away.She didn't look at me, didn't let go, didn't urge or question, just looked at Yan Qian quietly.

But I don't care about her feelings anymore, Yan Qian has a special status after all, in this situation, I don't want her to be involved in any way.

So I said, "Qianli, you go back to school first, okay?"

She finally turned her head to look at me, a little in disbelief, I felt her hold my hand tightly, "I..."

"Good boy," I interrupted her, looking into her eyes, trying to be as gentle as possible, "I'll explain to you tomorrow, okay?"

She bit her lip and said nothing, but I saw the compromise in her eyes, I couldn't help but pat her head, and pressed the down button of the elevator for her, "Go back to the dormitory and tell me."

She stared at me, was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

The author has something to say:

Finally caught up with a holiday, Happy Zongzi Festival, cuties~

In the comments, a classmate asked about Murong's height, and the author said that I don't know...how about we calculate it together?

It is known that Xiaoqianli is 160.1 tall (she said not less than a millimeter), and when she stood on tiptoe, she could kiss Murong's chin, and it seems that she even kissed the corner of her mouth?Xiao Qianli had to roll up the sleeves of Murong's pajamas several times, asking: How tall is Murong?
