Middle-aged Love Patch

Another round of cakes, muffins and tea was served, the sky was getting dark, and clouds, reddened by the setting sun, floated outside the huge glass windows of the cafe.The huge LED screens inlaid on the densely packed high-rise buildings on both sides of the long river that divides the old and new urban areas are gradually lit up, and the high-frequency publicity, advertisements, and celebrity support flashes make the whole city more dazzling than before nightfall.

The coffee shop is located in the northwest corner of a spacious circular shopping plaza in the central area of ​​the city.The square is too large. In order to facilitate customers to shuttle happily and time-savingly between different shopping malls, the ground of the square is paved with tram tracks.The non-stop retro trams are full of people carrying large and small shopping bags, crowded but orderly.

The coffee shop is a newly-rising internet celebrity shop. It is very spacious inside. There are separate compartments for company meetings. There are also semi-circular sofas for small gatherings, and more small partitions for holding a notebook and stuffing it in your ears. An office worker who puts on a headset, makes a phone call while working, and pours coffee crazily.

There is not much difference between such a scene 20 years ago or 20 years later-except that the notebook on the table is getting thinner and thinner, the earphones are getting smaller and smaller, and some people are drinking drinks with their eyes open, but they have actually connected to the The game world... and so on.

Today is Sunday, not many people can really rest, and Shi Yue just came out of a meeting in the morning, except for the one for Xu Youyuan, the others' gifts were all bought at noon.

Xu Youyuan also went to the bathroom for too long, probably because Shi Ye also followed her.

Shi Yue chatted uninterruptedly with her sister's girlfriends, looking in the direction of the bathroom from time to time.

Shiyue's major is the most popular major nowadays. These aunts who were born in the early 2000s are unfamiliar and curious about this major. Just in front of them, no one patronizes the new tea, and they keep asking questions around Shiyue. It was like a small press conference.

"You are only 23 this year, so you have graduated with a master's degree? How old did you go to university?"

"Yes, I was in the five-year elementary school, and then I skipped a grade, and I studied the combined undergraduate and master's majors, and graduated a year earlier than the normal ones who studied separately."

"So what do you major in? Are you dealing with robots?"

"Not necessarily. The artificial intelligence that everyone knows is just a general direction, and there are many more detailed ones. Like what I learned is more practical, it is a popular major that is more needed in the market."

"Practical? How practical?"

Shi Yue said: "The most practical thing is that it is easy to find a job."

Shi Yue's answer caused a burst of laughter.

The people present basically had no long-term living experience in a foreign country, so it was natural for them to be curious about Shiyue.

Since the economic depression, refugee problem, and terrorism spread overseas 20 years ago, Chinese people prefer to stay at home more and more.There are still some who go out, but the number is decreasing year by year.The domestic economic development is not as good as before, and the unemployment rate and crime rate are known, but compared with overseas, personal safety is still more secure.

Most modern Chinese learn about the constant natural disasters and man-made disasters overseas through the Internet and news.Shi Yue, as a hot returnee, is young and cute, extremely chatty, and the topic gradually shifts from foreign knowledge, professional outlook, and social issues to her personal issues.

"Do you have a date?" Jiang Yun took the lead in gossiping, "Is your sexual orientation male or female?"

Everyone booed her: "How can you ask someone's child's privacy."

Jiang Yun said confidently: "23, still a child? Maybe you have more love experience than you."

"...You see that when Shi Ye is not around, no one will take care of you, right?"

"Looking at the grown-up child, you can still pull your old face and make fun of it."

Shi Yue laughed, Jiang Yun completely blocked them, and kept chasing Shi Yue: "Come on, tell my sister, don't be shy, what type do you like?"

Shi Yue really paid attention to her: "Me, I like mature sisters."

In the bathroom, Ben's hand movements, which were staggering foaming foam, slowed down and quickly resumed their proper rhythm. Xu Youyuan asked back:

"She told you all?"

Shi Ye lowered his voice, and leaned in front of Xu Youyuan, unbelievable:

"You really..."

Xu Youyuan didn't speak, took out a piece of absorbent paper, and stuck it on the back of her hand. Soon the water on her hand was sucked dry, and the paper disappeared.

Seeing her unhurried look, Shi Ye was anxious:

"Why are you so angry with a child, she is so much younger than you, a generation behind."

Xu Youyuan was upset, she was not a good-tempered person in the first place:

"It's just because you are so young that you are angry! Don't tell me that you are inferior in generation. I am 11 years older than her, so I understand it very well. What does she mean by asking you to tell me these things? The little kid is beating her heart What kind of idea would I not know? It’s all those who come over at that age who don’t know who? Shi Ye, don’t pretend to be stupid, this time you say it’s useless.”

"What am I pretending to be, am I trying to persuade you?" Shi Ye looked towards the door of the bathroom, afraid that someone would come at this time, "Xiaoyue is a little skinny sometimes, after all, her age is here. You said it too, it's all People who have been younger, you also lost control when you were in your early twenties? Let me apologize to you on her behalf, okay? Don't be angry, it hurts your body."

Xu Youyuan sighed: "Forget it, it's not a big deal. I'm still a divorcee at my age, and it seems hypocritical to care about these things. It's just that a series of unlucky things happened recently and my aunt was not old again. The evil fire in my heart is controlling Can't live."

Shi Ye smiled and said, "You used to have similar virtues. When the dog's temper is not good, don't rely on my aunt."

When Xu Youyuan buttoned up her sleeves again, she glanced at Shiye: "You and her have a very good relationship, I'll tell you everything."

"Of course, there are only two of us in our family. She is still so much younger than me, and it hurts to be a daughter since she was a child." Shi Ye looked at her, "Speaking of which, what about divorced people? The divorce rate is so high now, and same-sex marriage is not so good. Where are you going, why are you labeling yourself?"

"I didn't put a label on it, it's just that it's embarrassing to say this... She's so much younger than me, she's still my younger sister, she grew up watching her, just like you said, she's a generation behind." Xu Youyuan I don't know what I thought of, my face was a little red, and my throat was inexplicably dry, so I cleared my throat.

Shi Ye felt more and more that something was wrong: "Wait a minute, Xu Youyuan, what's going on between you and my sister?"

Xu Youyuan looked at her for a long time and understood: "You don't even know about Ganqing, are you here to deceive me?"

"I thought when you two became enemies, she didn't tell her when I asked her, so she just came to ask you. How did it turn out? The more I listened, the more something went wrong. What's going on!" Shi Ye lowered his voice and yelled.

Xu Youyuan avoided her eyes and let out an annoyed "tsk".

Shi Ye understood her too well, and it was because of her understanding that she felt even more terrifying.

"Don't be like I thought..." Shi Ye was like a thief leader who assigned tasks at night, his voice could not be lowered, "You and Xiaoyue..."

"I've done it." Xu Youyuan admitted directly with a blank face, too lazy to make excuses.

……

"It's just right that I like mature older sisters. What do you think of me?" Jiang Yun said boldly, "My older sister is just single. Look, it's better to come early than coincidentally."

Shi Yue Zhile stood up amidst the teasing of Jiang Yun from his friends and said, "I'm going to see my sister, why didn't she come out for a long time."

When Shi Yue left, Ah Gan gave Jiang Yun a push: "Look at how hungry you are, you are not afraid of scaring others."

Jiang Yun was wronged: "Just treat me as if I have just been cheated on, so pity me. I'm just talking about flirting. Who wouldn't like a good-looking girl with a good temper? Just make fun of her It's refreshing, and people won't take my old aunt seriously."

When Shi Yue walked to the door of the bathroom, she heard someone talking inside, she slowed down, and when she approached the door, she recognized her sister's voice.

"Fuck..." Shi Ye has developed a habit of not saying dirty words in the system, and even avoids words that are close to dirty words. He must be really anxious to be so blunt, "Xu Youyuan, what are you talking about?" Woolen cloth!"

"It's done, you heard me." Xu Youyuan turned up her collar, took out hand cream from her pocket, and wiped it carefully.

Shi Ye originally wanted to ask who "did it", but swallowed the words again.If you ask this question, you will be really angry and stupid.

The two stood in the bathroom, silent for a while without speaking.The OLED screen hanging on the wall is playing the latest popular music. The sound is not loud, which can cover up some embarrassing sounds at ordinary times, but at this moment, it cannot cover up the deliberately suppressed conversation.

It was still Shi Ye who spoke first:

"Are you serious?"

Xu Youyuan looked at her.

Shi Ye explained: "I'm not old-fashioned. Of course I know that times are different now and I'm very open-minded. But after all, she is my own sister. I always hope that she will not make detours in anything. More importantly... Youyuan, let me just say it straight, you just got divorced and you are stuck in a predicament, if you want to find someone to vent and entertain, I hope that person is not my sister."

It could be seen that Xu Youyuan's heart was filled with anger, and her chest heaved obviously.

Shi Ye asked her: "Where have you been these days? How did you get involved with Xiaoyue? Did you really go to Iceland? Did you meet in Iceland?"

"No."

"Then what's going on!" Shi Ye was eager to know.

Xu Youyuan has always disliked beating around the bush, since her friend wants to know, there is nothing she can't hide: "I don't have a hobby of having sex with children, so it's a complete accident to talk about it."
