cat alley

On Monday, Fu Yining found out the time for Wen Qiyue to make breakfast. She set the alarm clock and caught Wen Qiyue wobbling in the kitchen, apparently not waking up.

Fu Yining forced Wen Qiyue to have breakfast together, otherwise Wen Qiyue would sleep until noon and lose weight every day.

After the two of them had breakfast, Fu Yining didn't go to the store, she brought a bunch of data to Wang Man for negotiation.

Before leaving, Wen Qiyue told her not to force herself, she smiled and nodded in agreement.

She dared to go, which proved that she was well prepared. If Wang Man wanted money, then Fu Yining would take the money and settle the case with her.

..

Her husband didn't come home all night, Wang Man got up early to welcome Fu Yining, a rare guest, and she invited Fu Yining to the study to discuss business.

The decoration of rich people's courtyards is different from that of Wen's.

The mahogany furniture used in Wang Man's home and calligraphy and paintings of famous artists are hung on the walls of the study room. Fu Yining glanced at the books on the bookshelf. Most of those books are unopened, and they are all famous works from various countries. Wang Man probably wants to show his taste and talent. It looks good when I buy it.

The teapots on the tea table are exquisite in workmanship, and the tea leaves are also precious Pu-erh. Wang Man made tea and poured water, and he did not forget to say with emotion: "Ning Ning, it's good to move back."

The Wen Family Courtyard is not far from Wang Man's house, and within a few steps, Fu Yining doesn't have to get up at five o'clock and leave the house at six o'clock, arriving before Wang Man sends his son to school.

"Sister Man, I'm here to discuss the rent." Fu Yining didn't have time to chat with Wang Man.

The young woman in front of her had a ruddy complexion, and she could smell the faint fragrance of rice. Wang Man ignored the purpose of Fu Yining's visit, and teased deliberately: "I think you're very moist, and you'll come back after eating."

She knew that Fu Yining didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, so she asked with a playful look: "Are you taking care of Wen Qiyue, or Wen Qiyue is taking care of you?"

The old Wen's family gave birth to a lazy granddaughter, and the old people in the alley often used it as a joke. After a long time, other neighbors also saw that Wen Qiyue was lazy, but such a girl was deeply loved by Mr. Wen, and she was reluctant to beat and scold her. Wen Qiyue was a little wronged.

"Sister Man, take a look at these first." Fu Yining opened the folder and took out the information and handed it over, saying seriously: "After reading it, let's talk about other things."

Open and shut about Wen Qiyue, she guessed that Wang Man was uneasy and kind.

"Okay." Wang Man also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Fu Yining's gourd, so she took the information and flipped through the pages.

Fu Yining followed the speed of her gaze, and said calmly: "These are the profits of Maoxiang in the past two years, and I have recorded every expense on it."

"Ning Ning, what are you going to tell me? Mao Lane has a future? Make money?" Wang Man sneered, "Don't bully me for not understanding, the data can be falsified, it doesn't explain anything." She threw a few pages on the tea table, The tea blurred Fu Yining's neat handwriting.

Fu Yining expected that Wang Man would not believe it, "Then how many pages are left?" She looked calm and said slowly: "I falsified the data in my own store, do I dare to falsify in other stores?"

The woman calmed down and smiled slightly.

She suffered from naivety more than once, and naivety kept her in a positive state of mind, but it was a matter of survival in the store, Fu Yining was neither stupid nor stupid, she had to put in some thought and grasp the situation of her peers for comparison.

"Cat Lane is the first cat cafe on Changhe Street. It is similar to pet coffee shops. In addition, I have two existing coffee shops and three ordinary coffee shops. Only one of them is on par with me. It is full of customers in peak seasons, and it can also achieve revenue and expenditure as much as possible in off-seasons. balance."

Fu Yining should thank Wang Man for renting her the house at the front door, which has an advantageous location, which happens to be in a tourist-heavy area.Several other coffee shops are located in remote places. Although the finished products are controlled, the traffic is still not large.

Besides, now that the Internet is developed and the products are not to their liking, tourists will write their comments on the Internet to express their dissatisfaction.

Catch up with the peak season and other tourists go out to do strategy, and give up the idea of ​​​​going to the store directly when they see bad reviews.

Therefore, Fu Yining attaches great importance to product quality and online word-of-mouth. After two years of opening, Maoxiang’s cats and Maoxiang’s products rarely have bad reviews. Satisfied with most of the bad reviews.

What Fu Yining said is correct, Wang Man has already inquired about the situation in Mao Lane, why is she still not optimistic about it?Because cat coffee is a new thing, she can't accept it in her mind, and easily concludes that others can't accept it either.

"Ning Ning, Sister Man admires you for being able to deal with your peers." Wang Man carefully studied the few pieces of paper in his hand, and said in amazement: "Changhe Street said that you are very popular, and it really is not a conspiracy."

hole?Fu Yining didn't have the nerve to correct Wang Man's substandard pronunciation of idioms.

She had heard from Grandpa Wen before that Wang Man got pregnant first and then got married. Her husband and parents had two courtyard houses. This marriage was settled quickly.

Marrying Wang Man is a blessing in the eyes of others. She gave birth to a son who wears gold and silver and has no worries about eating and drinking. Grandpa Wen said that Wang Man is not educated, and her husband is uneducated, and he spends a lot of time outside. This marriage will sooner or later get away.

..

Getting back to the topic, Fu Yining said modestly: "Sister Man, you all come out to do business, earn a little money to be filial to your parents and support your family. I have something to ask from my peers, and my peers also need my guidance."

Mao Lane has been a popular cat cafe on Changhe Street for two years. Their colleagues respect Fu Yining as if meeting a teacher. Some superficial data, as long as Fu Yining is willing to inquire, the colleagues will not be strictly guarded. They also hope that Fu Yining can help analyze the situation.

Wang Man didn't know how hard it was to start a business, so she smiled perfunctorily, returned all the documents to Fu Yining, and said in a slightly impatient tone, "You have worked so hard for the rent."

"Sister Man, if you don't raise the rent, Mao Lane can continue to make a profit." Fu Yining put away the wet materials together, and she sat obediently, "I will pay the rent on time and you will collect the rent steadily. We will win together."

People are more popular than people, and Fu Yining has the two extremes of being a landlord. Wen Qiyue is a fool who charges 800 yuan a month for rent, but he recently paid hundreds of dollars for ingredients. Simply pleasing to the eye.

But Wang Man has a hulking back, wishing to write on her forehead that she is rich, and a room full of books can't change her ignorance and ignorance.

Wang Man couldn't stand Fu Yining's sudden smile. She watched Fu Yining grow up anyway. Fu Yining was good-looking, with beautiful eyebrows and nose, clean and clear eyeballs. Listening to her speaks like a spring breeze, and it is hard to get bored.

However, Fu Yining's change began when he moved back. Wang Man had an idea, and his attitude eased: "Ning Ning, about the rent, Sister Man has thought of a way for you."

Fu Yining was dubious about Wang Man's sudden kindness.

"Qiyue has a good relationship with you. If you persuade her to sell the courtyard house to me, I will waive your rent for two years." Wang Man waved her fat hand and said boldly.

Of course, her rhetoric is very problematic. I met Wen Qiyue before, and she proposed to exchange the Wen Family Courtyard for the head room in Maoxiang, but Wen Qiyue still hesitated.

"Sister Man, whether to sell the house or not is a matter of praying for the moon, and has nothing to do with me." Fu Yining's brows tightened.

"Really?" Wang Man feigned surprise, "Didn't Wen Qiyue come out of the closet because of you?"

There was a lot of noise, everyone in the alley knew about it, Wang Man observed Fu Yining's dazed expression, and added slowly: "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? Wen Qiyue likes you, and she will listen to what you say."

..

Rich hot mom, capitalized idle.

When Luan Yihe heard that Wen Qiyue was going to the hotel to try to sleep, he insisted on following him.

Wen Qiyue took her TV, owed TV money and favors, and reluctantly agreed to Luan Yihe to come with her, provided that Luan Yihe opened a room alone.

In the afternoon, the two reached an agreement, Wen Qiyue drove to pick him up, and Luan Yihe got in the car to fiddle with the air conditioner, muttering, "Grandma, it's going to be winter soon, don't you fix the air conditioner?!"

A gust of cold wind blew, she shivered, scolding Wen Qiyue for being too lazy.

Wen Qiyue concentrated on driving, without Fu Yining present, she regained her lazy attitude.

Well, being ignored...Luan Yihe was not reconciled, she followed for another purpose, and couldn't help gossiping: "How are you and Ningning going?"

"No." Wen Qiyue spit out a word.

"No progress?" Luan Yihe crossed his legs and sat there anxiously for Wen Qiyue, "Ningning has no shortage of suitors, are you not afraid that she will be snatched away again?"

Shao Sizhao... she ground her teeth.

Shao Sizhao is very scheming, who is the quiet Aunt Wen's opponent?Luan Yihe staged a small theater in his brain, and he became more and more indignant: "The last time Shao Sizhao asked you to meet, she didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Wen Qiyue tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips and said lightly, "No."

If Shao Sizhao finds out that she is living with Ning Ning, will he go crazy?

An old love song was playing on the radio in the car, and Luan Yihe sang along a few lines, seemingly casually asking, "Qiyue, how long have you liked Ningning?"

In other words, how long have you kept liking it?

As a sister who slept in the upper and lower bunks at the university, Luan Yihe fell in love with Wen Qiyue. She didn't think Wen Qiyue was a long-term lover, and she looked more like a scumbag no matter how she looked.

Wen Qiyue held her forehead with her left hand, looked straight at the center of the road with her eyes, and said with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "More than ten years."

Her love should have been an unimpeded road.

Luan Yihe stretched out her fingers to scratch, she opened her mouth in surprise and said, "More than ten years? You started liking Fu Yining when you were 17?!"

"16..17 years old."

What counts as liking?Wen Qiyue recalled.

In high school, Fu Yining was used to walking with her on his arm, talking and laughing with her.Her arm unintentionally rubbed against the softness of the girl's chest beside her, and her thoughts slowed down as she was still talking. The deer tightly tied to her heart was rampaging, her throat tightened for no reason, and she couldn't help but look at Ningning's chest. Ningning cherry blossom lips..

She remembered Ning Ning's every frown and smile in her eyes, and she secretly recalled it in the dead of night under the blanket. The feeling of thumping was only a little bit more, and her body also began to show the abnormality of puberty.

From then on, Wen Qiyue secretly searched the Internet for content that made people blush and heartbeat.

Once...twice.. and each time after that, she couldn't find relief, and fell into an unbearable, fantasy restlessness.

Ning Ning helped her open a door to a new world, where there was no Ning Ning but everything was related to Ning Ning.

This should count as liking, right?

...

She slammed on the brakes, and Luan Yihe, who was not wearing a seat belt, almost hit her head. Wen Qiyue had a look of guilt on her face, and she said awkwardly, "I'm distracted..."

"Grandma, I won't ask any more." Luan Yihe rolled his eyes, his life was at stake.

Wen Qiyue's heartbeat continued to speed up, and the girl Ning Ning couldn't get rid of her mind. She even took the initiative to tell Luan Yihe, saying, "I came out for Ning Ning and grandpa."

Shao Sizhao always wanted to express what she had done for Ningning, but Wen Qiyue didn't bother to compare.

Talking about Luan Yihe's enthusiasm, she took a breath, gave her thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "Wen Qiyue, a skilled person is bold!"

Military children coming out of the closet... Luan Yihe rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and concluded, "Your grandpa definitely wants to beat you to death."

"Well, I took a stick." Wen Qiyue said truthfully.

When she came out of the closet in a daze, her grandfather jumped into a rage and picked up a stick to chase her and beat her. Fu's father and mother couldn't stop her grandfather, and Wen Qiyue was tired from running, so she stopped and took the stick.

The stick was knocked down hard, and Wen Qiyue knelt on the ground trembling with pain, almost fainting.

Grandpa was also dumbfounded. He loved Wen Qiyue since he was a child, so he couldn't bear to beat her.

But in the traditional alley, the old man could not accept the abnormal orientation of his children, Wen Qiyue lost his grandfather's face, and his grandfather was only disappointed with Wen Qiyue.

Luan Yihe looked at Wen Qiyue's profile, but she didn't dare to ask again.

When she was admitted to university and found out that Wen Qiyue was gay, she and a few other roommates secretly wondered why Wen Qiyue, who was born in a military family, dared to come out of the closet?

Turning to the intersection, Wen Qiyue turned on the turn signal, slowed down and changed lanes.

The neighbor said she was not filial, but she was right. She was a selfish child who acted willfully and did not consider the consequences of coming out.

For a long time, her grandfather ignored her and couldn't hold her head up in front of her neighbors. She didn't know what was wrong and went on a hunger strike.

This incident alarmed the parents stationed outside.

The family of four sat together, Wen Qiyue's words remained unchanged, her father was dizzy with anger, and slapped her when he said that it was fruitless, and her mother also hoped that she would think clearly, the road ahead would not be easy.

Coming out of the closet was not the first time Wen Qiyue changed the trajectory of her life for Fu Yining.

After being beaten, she clenched her teeth and insisted: "The girl I like, I will always like her."

Where did the confidence come from?

Wen Qiyue couldn't help laughing in retrospect, she dared to guarantee the future when she was a teenager, how much she liked Fu Yining.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Luan Yihe was anxious, this person was very well behaved, what was he laughing for?

"It was too early for me to believe that Ningning could accompany me for the rest of my life."

The girl's secret love only dares to look down on her in front of her family.

Facing Fu Yining, Wen Qiyue could hold back a sentence of "I like you" for more than ten years.

Her self-confidence and prudence were so dimly played that it was impossible to tell the winner.

But after calling and calling, Wen Qiyue just changed a few ways and continued to like Fu Yining.

watch?accompany?Wait, call it whatever you want.

Just like countless little secrets that are hard to tell in the middle of the night, Wen Qiyue is afraid to tell them, they can't even be friends.
