vulgar

When the rain stopped and the clouds fell, an inexplicable gust of smoky wind stirred the wicker near the forone. I don't know how many sun days this year.

If this weather is not in this place where every inch of land is precious, you should be able to see that the cafe is overcrowded.Unlike forone, there are only workers who are in a hurry, come to buy a glass of Americano in a hurry, and then turn around and leave in a hurry.

Cheng Yi took a glass of his newly made "dirty" and sat leaning against a small table near the bank.

The flowing water is gurgling, the breeze is gentle, the willow branches are clear, and the surroundings are bustling, only his corner is quiet as usual.

Cheng Yi glanced at the air ticket he had just bought in his mobile phone, and then turned his gaze away, and landed on the almost half-day leisurely scenery.This is very similar to the days when he drank coffee abroad.It was the gap period when each project was finished, and he would go to a coffee shop called Bairi Qiangwei downstairs of the company and order a cup of oiran.

It seemed to him that the bland and floating days were not so long at that time, and he could see the sunset just by watching people coming and going.

Until one day a yellow man appeared in front of him holding a glass of "dirty".

It was a child, a little boy with smiling eyes, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old, very sunny, and his eyes were full of the vitality and youth of the afternoon sun.

"What are you laughing at?" A male voice suddenly rang in Cheng Yi's ear.

Cheng Yi turned around and saw Zhou Si who had disappeared for three days.After Zhou Si left the cafe that day, he didn't contact Cheng Yi again, and Cheng Yi didn't ask him, and the chat between the two of them was still on top of three days ago.

Cheng Yi is not in a hurry.After he guessed that Zhou Si and Rongrong's mother were just tied up, he was not in a hurry, as if he would become justified sooner or later, as if he had found a good excuse for himself to cover up the relationship between Zhou Si and him. "Stealing" facts.

"It's nothing, why are you here?" Cheng Yi looked up at Zhou Si, and he pointed to the opposite position, "Sit down for a while. Would you like something to drink?"

Speaking of Cheng Yi, he wanted to stand up and help him order, but Zhou Si took the glass in front of him unexpectedly: "Don't take it, I'll drink yours."

Looking into Cheng Yi's eyes, Zhou Si took a sip of the coffee. The bitterness made him almost frowned, and he woke up from the bitterness. The topic went back to just now: "So what are you laughing at?"

Cheng's serious eyes on Zhou Si probably caught him because Zhou Si would not leave if he didn't confess today.He smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something about my coffee abroad."

Zhou Si put it on the table, ready to listen.

Cheng Yi lowered his head and smiled: "It's a little boy, Chinese. His parents should be in the restaurant business in Chinatown."

Mentioning other men, Zhou Si frowned uncontrollably, Cheng Yi was amused by his actions: "Do you still want to listen?"

Zhou Si reluctantly opened his brows: "You continue."

Cheng Yi: "He works part-time in the shop where I often go for coffee. He is a kid with an infectious smile. He told me that he does part-time jobs to wipe his brother's ass. Because there is a naughty brother in their family. , the younger brother was born when his father's catering business was in full swing, and his mother also joined his father's business shortly after giving birth to his younger brother. This left the younger brother with no one to raise him, which is different from his experience when he was a child."

"So his brother often gets into trouble?" Zhou Si probably could have foreseen what happened later, because he seemed to have experienced it too.

Cheng nodded a little: "It may take a child a whole childhood to learn well, and it may take ten seconds to learn badly - he said that maybe he just borrowed a lighter, lit a cigarette, and begged a big brother, so that his younger brother would think that this Chinatown You can walk sideways now. His younger brother gets into trouble every day. At first, he smashed the glass of someone’s house, then demolished the fence, and then beat people. The medical expenses and so on were all paid out of his pocket money. .”

"And then?" Zhou Si scoffed at the elder brother's behavior of pampering his younger brother, but most adults are good at hiding their superficial disapproval, "Did my younger brother get into any trouble again?"

Cheng Yi took back the dirty cup in front of him. The coffee was slowly seeping down, making the whole cup look dirty. He paused before saying, "Brother is dead, because of those who seek revenge for younger brother." Under the knife, lying in an unknown back alley."

"Where's my brother?"

"My brother died too, on the way to avenge my brother, and in that unknown back alley." Cheng Yi took a sip of his coffee, "However, I heard this from the manager of the coffee shop later, is it true? I don't know either."

"That's not a good story." Zhou Si followed suit with a sigh.

Cheng Yi shook the cup to mix the dark coffee with the creamy base: "My brother said his favorite coffee is this cup. Dirty is like his younger brother. It is dirty compared to him, but he has a day The kindness in him will infect the younger brother, just like now, the dark color has a little milky white... This kind of kindness, even if it is sporadic, is good."

Zhou Si nodded in agreement: "Unfortunately, it's just too bitter."

Cheng Yi turned around and ordered a non-bitter latte from the passing waiter: "Then, why did Mr. Zhou come to see me again this afternoon?"

Reminded by Cheng Yi, Zhou Si hurriedly called the waiter to say no, and then pulled Cheng Yi: "Follow me to the garage."

Cheng Yi followed him, jokingly said, "Why, are you suddenly interested?"

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Zhou Si stopped and looked back at him, his eyes were so affectionate that Cheng Yi was taken aback: "I'm interested in you every day."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Si shook Cheng Yi's hand, and walked towards his car in big strides with slightly better joy.

Cheng Yi slowed down, and fought back: "Then we have to make a deal first. Before, I drank too much and didn't count the money. Today, I'm sober, so that's another price."

Zhou Si got into the cab and motioned for Cheng Yi, the co-pilot, to wear his seat belt: "Then you can only ask that little girl tomorrow. Her birthday is tomorrow, so what gift would you give her as a reference for me?"

Cheng Yi was obviously taken aback, but he didn't ask in detail.It may be that Zhou Si has figured it out and wants to be a competent father, or it may just be on his whim, because Cheng Yi said so, so he tried; or there are other arrangements.

But when Zhou Si asked, he honestly helped him: "What did you give me earlier?"

Zhou Si looked ahead: "No, she didn't celebrate her birthday before." After a pause, Zhou Si explained again: "Qiu Tong, that's her mother, didn't celebrate that little girl's birthday. Neither did I." Give her time."

"So do you have time today?" Cheng Yi teased.

"Well, I don't have any other meetings this afternoon, so I'll take a break for myself." Zhou Si waited for the traffic light, "You think it's better to give her a doll, or something else?"

Cheng Yi thought for a while: "Is she short of dolls?"

Zhou Si shook his head: "There should be no shortage. Every time Wang Ye sees her, he buys her a bunch of dolls."

"Wang Ye?" Cheng Yi felt inexplicably familiar.

Zhou Si: "Little wild flower."

"Oh~" Cheng Yi was stunned, "You guys are still in touch."

Zhou Si responded casually: "Well, Qiutong is her friend. But she plays music now, and there are not many interactions. Her heart is still young, and we are already old."

"Old? Then why don't I call you Uncle Zhou?"

Zhou Si parked the car, glanced at him, and buckled the seat belt for him, adding in a low voice to Cheng Yi's gloating expression: "I'd be more happy to be called Dad."

Cheng Yi pushed open the door and got out of the car with great displeasure, muttering: "Then don't ask my opinion, go and buy gifts by yourself."

Zhou Si walked over awkwardly, and posted Cheng Yi: "Don't, Cheng Yiyi, we'll buy whatever you say we'll buy."

Cheng Yi's feigned temper was dispelled by Zhou Si in an instant. He took Zhou Si to the bookstore on the second floor of the shopping mall, and squatted down in front of a shelf of picture books.

Zhou Si squatted down, picked up a copy of "The Big Wolf and the White Deer", and flipped through it: "A storybook?"

"Mm." Cheng Yi screened out a few books and looked at the concise and clear ones.

"Huh?" Zhou Si was full of doubts. "Not really, really want me to read a story to her..."

"Hmm. Didn't the little girl say she wanted you to read her a story? No doll you buy is better than reading a story." Cheng Yi reasoned.

Zhou Si didn't really want to be reasonable, but Cheng Yi put the book in his hands directly, and comforted him solemnly, saying: "Rong Rong has a talent for drawing, and the advertising hand-drawing panel in our coffee shop is the work of her and me. We drew together, if you don’t read it, she can read it by herself.”

Zhou Si nodded in bewilderment, went to settle the bill, and wandered aimlessly with Cheng Yi.The two of them wandered from the second floor to the fourth floor, and then from the fourth floor to the first floor, chatting about some nonsensical things, probably Cheng Yi met some guests in the past three days, and Zhou Si heard about the tea in the past three days. Little gossip.

Speaking of this, Cheng Yi still laughed at him as the CEO, but he likes to listen to gossip.

Zhou Si didn't take it seriously: "If I hadn't eavesdropped on these sisters' gossip, I wouldn't have known that you opened a coffee shop downstairs from the company."

Cheng Yi was dumbfounded by what he said.Zhou Si led the people back to the garage, and talked about tomorrow's arrangements: "You have to go tomorrow too, I'll pick you up after work."

After Cheng asked this question, he suddenly remembered this: "I won't go."

Zhou Si was puzzled: "That little girl can talk, you have to go."

Cheng Yi bit his lips: "I'm flying to Bangkok tomorrow, I have something to do, how about I order a cake tomorrow and you take it?"

"Then make it ahead of time. Today, we're going to celebrate her birthday." Zhou Si didn't wait for Cheng Yi's objection, and entered the address of Rongrong Kindergarten, which he had rummaged on his phone for a long time, into the navigation. past.

As soon as the schedule was approaching, he saw a European pastry shop, and asked Zhou Si to stop the car temporarily, and he rushed the ducks to buy a ready-made small cake.

When he was carrying the cake into the car, Zhou Si glanced at it, and saw some animation character he didn't recognize on it: "Would she like this purple rabbit?"

"I don't know, the boss said it's the best seller." Cheng put the cake on his lap.

"I knew I should let you grab a handful of candies in the store." Zhou Si said, "I think she likes it."

Cheng Yi shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. She told me that you have such candy wrappers in your closet. Parents' preferences will have an impact on children."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Si reacted, "Do you think I have influenced her? She doesn't necessarily like it, because I like it, so she likes it too."

The person who said this had no intentions, but the listener couldn't help but feel his heart throbbing.

"because I like it……"

Because Zhou Si likes the candy wrapper Cheng Yi left for him before...

"Maybe." Cheng Yi hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Then she likes you because I like you?" Zhou Si followed suit.

Cheng Yi heard his joking tone now, gave him a glance, and said helplessly: "You, drive well."

"Okay, Cheng Yiyi."
