cat alley

A week later.

"Long River Street..."

"When you were young, it was called Changhe Lane, right?" the woman said to herself, looking out through the car window.

The peak season on October [-] has just passed, and it is true that there are many tourists from other places who avoid the peak period. The black off-road vehicles are temporarily parked at the entrance of the scenic spot.

Wen Qiyue had a subtle emotion in her heart. When she came here, her friend asked her to navigate without remembering the way. She searched Changhe Lane, but the search bar defaulted to Changhe Street. She suddenly realized that Changhe Lane had long been a tourist attraction and was renamed Changhe Street.

This street is very different from what I remember, and it looks like it is a means for the commercial district to attract tourists.

For the convenience of tourists, the scenic spot can be opened to traffic, and the unique congestion in narrow alleys is completely banned. The buildings at the gates that can be seen are black and red, and adopt the style of antique inns. Carts in the market are selling.

When Wen Qiyue was 10 years old, Changhe Lane had not yet been demolished, and there was a market every Friday, and her grandfather took her to the market.

The market has everything to eat, drink, and dolls, but the commute is too long, Wen Qiyue is lazy, and her grandfather often reprimands her for procrastinating.

He couldn't move anymore, so grandpa squatted in front of her and asked her to come up while despising her.

...

"Hey, what are you thinking?!" Luan Yihe stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wen Qiyue.

Wen Qiyue blinked, put away the obscurity in her eyes and said: "No."

Luan Yihe rolled his eyes and complained: "Grandma, do you charge for talking? How much is a word?"

No and yes are just two words, Wen Qiyue is too lazy to say it completely.

"Forget it, I don't care about it with you." Luan Yihe pulled out the car key, stuffed it into Wen Qiyue's hand and confessed: "The gas has just been filled up, and there is nothing wrong with this car except that the air conditioner is not very good. Li has left beforehand."

Wen Qiyue nodded, "Okay."

The two got out of the car and changed places. Luan Yihe walked two steps and then turned back to knock on the window to say something.

"Did you call Ningning?"

"..." Wen Qiyue held the steering wheel and shook her head.

When she returns to her hometown, she always thinks about the past.

Going back more than ten years ago, she spent 400 yuan on her first counterfeit phone. The small screen was drop-proof and not waterproof, and it could last for several days on a single charge. A certain Q, I never get tired of going to the web to find my favorite novels.

But now that smart phones are developed, covering entertainment, learning and life, a certain Q that was popular when I was young has also been replaced by WeChat, and the style of Moments is getting smaller and fresher every year, and no one posts non-mainstream sad news anymore.

While technology is upgrading mobile phones, phone calls and SMS functions remain the same.

A string of numbers consisting of 11 digits that can be memorized back and forth, and Wen Qiyue lacks the courage to enter is holding a counterfeit phone or a smart phone.

Luan Yihe spread his hands in disbelief and said, "After more than ten years of friendship, it's not too much for you to call him when you come back?"

The person in the car sighed lightly, Luan Yihe was not Fu Yining, he really had nothing to do with Wen Qiyue, so he said helplessly, "Well, I won't get involved in your affairs."

"Yihe, thank you." Wen Qiyue thanked Luan Yihe while his friend was concerned about him.

The four words have improved, and Luan Yihe said with a smile: "You are welcome! Wipe off your sweat and don't catch a cold. I'm leaving first. If you need anything, contact me on WeChat."

A few hours after getting off the plane, Wen Qiyue rushed to Changhe Street without stopping.

Fu Yining's cat cafe is not hard to find. On the day of the opening, she posted the address in Moments, and Wen Qiyue praised it in seconds.

But after returning to China, Wen Qiyue's psychological construction completely collapsed. Her whole body was tense, and her palms and back were sweating non-stop.

Come here without saying hello, will Fu Yining be happy to see her?

...

Maoxiang is a very unique coffee shop in the scenic area, and it is very popular on the Internet.

In the information age, the Internet is developed. A few photos and a few comments will bring huge customer traffic to the store.

The guests who have been here have mentioned in their comments that there is a young and beautiful boss in Maoxiang.

Who could be the beauty boss?After Wen Qiyue read the online reviews at the door, she took a few breaths and decided to go in.

From the outside, Mao Lane is designed by the founder of the inn. After opening the door, the strong aroma of coffee beans blows in your face.

Warm yellow lighting, wooden brown decoration style, warm and retro.

The bar counter engraved the name of the shop in handwriting, and Wen Qiyue recognized at a glance that the word Maoxiang was designed by Fu Yining himself.

The back kitchen is on the right side, the door curtain is hand-painted with cat patterns, the progressive cat nest and jumping platform are hung on the high wall, and Polaroid photos can be seen everywhere in the middle part.

There may not be a cat in the arms of each table guest. At noon, the first cat sleeps in the nest, or stands on the diving platform and licks its paws.

"Meow~"

The meowing interrupted Wen Qiyue's observation, she lowered her head, and a puppet cat was rubbing against her shoes.

"It's called Star Cub." The clerk Jin An then came over to greet Wen Qiyue, "Are you one? Put on your shoe covers and sit inside?"

"Oh." Wen Qiyue looked up and responded.

Jin'an was embarrassed to call Wen Qiyue beauty directly, she swallowed her saliva and took the seat, Xingcui lazily followed behind them.

The old-fashioned table lamp on the wooden table was ordinary in shape, but the pendant was a cute cat's claw when the light was turned on. Wen Qiyue pulled the cat's claw, the light turned on as if triggering some kind of mechanism, and a red banner fell off the lampshade.

There are beautiful and neat words on the banners on every table.

——Welcome to Cat Lane, nice to meet you.

Fifteen years ago, little Fu Yining stood in front of Wen Qiyue, stretched out her hand and said, "Nice to meet you."

Wen Qiyue's eyes became soft, and she curled her lips into a faint smile.

"You... what do you want to drink, do you need my recommendation?" Jin An handed over the menu, his heart overflowing with love.

Wen Qiyue carefully studied the menu, tapped her fingertips on the table and said in a warm voice, "Ice milk."

Jin'an was in a dilemma for a few seconds. There was no iced milk on the menu... Adhering to the idea that the customer is God, she agreed with a smile on her face: "...Okay, I'll prepare it for you."

Fu Yining's shop, Fu Yining's cat, the menu is all handwritten by Fu Yining, and the clerk is also pleasing to the eye.

Wen Qiyue's mood swelled rapidly, and her nervousness was replaced by the mood of looking forward to seeing Fu Yining.

Xingcui waited for a long time and screamed "Meow Meow", it circled around Wen Qiyue's table, found a good angle and jumped onto the table briskly.

One person and one cat looked at each other again. The star cub was sitting gracefully, and his soft and shiny fur was attractive. Wen Qiyue stretched out his hand to scratch its chin.

"Did Ningning give you the name Xing Cub? It sounds nice." Wen Qiyue's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice.

Hearing his mother's name, Star Cub squinted his emerald blue cat eyes, swung his beautiful tail, and meowed twice in response.

...

After ordering, Jin An returned to the bar. She mysteriously approached the clerk Sixi and asked, "Did you see it?"

Sixi was taken aback, and almost ruined the coffee latte with a shaking of her hand, she hurriedly put down the milk frother and smoothed it on her chest, "Scared me to death! What are you doing!"

"There are beauties!" Jin An was so excited that she stomped her feet, "Table 6! The table of Star Cubs!"

"Cut." Sixi was not interested, and said proudly, "I only recognize sister Ning as a beauty."

Jin'an became even more anxious. She pulled Sixi's apron and urged, "Take a look first! She and Sister Ning are not the same type!!"

Sixi is used to Jin An's bluffing character, so she picked up the milk foam pot and continued to finish the latte art perfunctorily, "I'm busy, I don't want to watch it!"

"Ruthless! Boring!" Jin An was furious. The time she entered and came out from the bar, Xing Zai had already become one with Wen Qiyue.

...

When Fu Yining came back from shopping, Sixi was grinding coffee. Jin'an went somewhere, and the "booming" coffee machine just overwhelmed the sound of customers breaking cups.

There were cats and children in the store, Fu Yining put down the big and small bags in his hands, and immediately rushed to the kitchen to find the broom.

Jin'an was stunned, and realized that the cup might be broken outside, so she didn't dare to delay, she grabbed the cleaning tool and followed Fu Yining.

The coffee machine stopped working, and Sixi hurried out to stop the cat from approaching.

The cup was accidentally broken by the boy. The parent stood up and apologized, then turned his head and scolded his son loudly for being naughty.

The boy realized that he had made a mistake, and cried out aggrieved. Fu Yining knelt down and coaxed him softly.

The guests stopped talking with the mentality of watching the excitement, and Wen Qiyue stopped touching the star cub, she sat in the corner, her eyes were deeply attracted by a person.

That woman of gentle years tied up all Wen Qiyue's longing abroad.

Blonde curly hair, round features, and a straight nose.

Fu Yining has fair skin and a slender figure. She is 1 meters tall and not short. She wears a round-neck white T-shirt and jeans. Her clean clothes can make people feel like a young girl who is a college student.

Since junior high school, the teacher praised her for being quiet and well-behaved, and her classmates liked to listen to her soft and pleasant tone of voice. In college, those who chased her were fascinated by her clear eyes and crooked silkworms when they smiled.

Only Wen Qiyue knew that Ning Ning was chubby when she was a child, but she lost weight later.

...

"Sister, can you please eat candy?" Fu Yining patted the boy's back with one hand, and took out a tissue with the other hand to wipe his tears.

The parents were embarrassed by everyone, and she apologized again, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Sixi and Jin'an had already cleaned up the debris and water stains on the ground, Fu Yining stood up and said kindly, "It's good that you're not injured."

She grabbed a few fruit candies from the bar and bent down to give them to the boy, smiling and saying, "Don't cry."

"Thank you sister.." The boy sniffled, his attention drawn to the colorful candies.

At this time, Fu Yining hadn't noticed Wen Qiyue, she got into the kitchen, Jin'an and Sixi stood up straight, and said in unison: "I'm sorry, Sister Ning! We didn't notice that the guest broke the cup in time."

Thanks to the presence of Fu Yining, if the fragments hurt cats or children, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fu Yining didn't take it seriously, "Okay, okay, it's okay, you guys go get busy."

Jin'an took the initiative to admit, "Sister Ning, it's my fault. I lost my mind in the kitchen." Her mind was full of that beautiful guest who didn't talk much and stared at her.

Sixi had no malice, and complained coolly: "Sister Ning, Jin'an is a nymphomaniac! There must be a guest who is prettier than you!"

The two of them like to bicker when they have nothing to do. It's quite interesting. Fu Yining pretended to be surprised and said, "Is it true? Show me?"

"Look, there you are!" Jin An swept away his frustration, full of confidence.

The three of them left the kitchen, sneaking around the side of the coffee machine.

"Look! Xingbai likes her!" Jin An was impatient, tiptoeing to look at Xingbai in Wen Qiyue's arms.

Star Cub is the star cat in Cat Lane. The puppet itself is very beautiful and has a sense of superiority over other cats. Guests want to get close to it, but it ignores most humans.

Even Sixi and Jin'an, who took care of it every day, didn't get the chance to "climb".

Star Cub's favorite guest?Fu Yining was in high spirits, she left from the side of the coffee machine, and greeted the guests at the next table, Jin An smiled and nodded to the guests, gritted her teeth and said to Fu Yining: "Sister Ning, table number 6! 6 Number table!"

Table No. 6... Fu Yining found the corner at a glance, her heart stopped for a second, and then rose rapidly.

Wen Qiyue was looking at her and smiling at her.

After opening the store for two years, Fu Yining has come into contact with all kinds of customers, and there are always some beautiful people.

But those people couldn't stay in her heart.

Only Wen Qiyue.

Every time he misses her, Fu Yining thinks of the moment when he first saw fireworks in the small town of Yotsuya.

That is the astonishment hidden in the memory that cannot be moved away.

"Jin..Ann.."

"Table 6, did you order iced milk?"

Jin'an couldn't hear Fu Yining's strange voice, and asked in a daze, "Sister Ning, how do you know?"

I just know... Fu Yining clenched her palms tightly, her nose sore that she wanted to cry.

She is 27-year-old Wen Qiyue, or 77-year-old Wen Qiyue...

There is no second person who can replace Wen Qiyue's specialness in Fu Yining's heart.
