The room was dark, and the phone was glowing dimly.

What the hell is going on? A dream that is incomparably clear, coupled with a definite sense of emptiness in my heart. I was sure that my memory must be missing something. I looked at the time, and it was 2:50 a.m. I took a few sips of water, and after a while, exhaustion swept over my whole body again, leaving me to fall into a deep sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I washed my face, put on my clothes and went out.

I work in one of the busiest areas of the city, and the crowds don't disperse until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. On this day, while restraining myself from thinking about the things in my dreams, I reminisced about what I had passed with Yi Xin at the amusement park yesterday, and who was the person in my dreams?

"Come to me after work, I'll cook and cook for you today. "It was Ishin who sent me a text message, and I let go of my thoughts. With such a good fiancée, what else do I want? I said to myself.

Finally, I finished the day's work, because Yixin's house was not far away, and it happened to be the rush hour after work, so I gave up the idea of driving. Probably because I hadn't slept well for the last few nights in a row, I staggered along the way to Yixin's house, looking around blankly, eager to relieve my physical and mental fatigue with the help of the view.

I saw bare red brick walls and rusty security nets in nearby residential areas, while on the balconies on some floors, lush plants were exposed, and on balconies on others, brightly colored clothes were being basked. In those gray clouds, it became a strange bright color. The street beneath my feet was pitch black, like a desk sprinkled with ink, and it couldn't be cleaned. Next to it is the coffee shop I went to with Yi Xin last time, this coffee shop has been open for some years now, their coffee is the most fragrant, and the taste of latte is also the most authentic in the neighborhood. I remember Ihin and I used to come here together.

At this moment, my head suddenly hurt somehow, and I forced myself to suppress the buzzing in my head, but the images in my mind came up uncontrollably, and I really saw the scene of me bringing a girl to this coffee shop.

"I said that if I pass this interview, you will come to this coffee shop with me. I said to a girl standing next to me.

"But it's expensive here, do we really want to come here? I'm afraid ......."

Seeing the girl's hesitant look, I directly took her hand, "It's okay, I've already inquired about the price, let's come this time, and I don't come often, it's okay." ”

I walked into this coffee shop with my hair loose and a childish face. "What do you want to drink?" I said, looking at the girl next to me.

"I... I do not know. ”

"A latte, an American. I pulled the girl who was squirming next to me and told the boss. "I'll order it for you, it's guaranteed to be your favorite flavor. ”

We quickly found a place to sit down, and I looked at the girl sitting across from me, her face like a lotus flower blooming in the park. "Don't worry about the price. I touched her head and smiled comfortingly.

"However, you have just found a job, and we will have to ...... later"

"It's okay!" I interrupted her, "don't worry, work is work, and of course I can't ignore our feelings for work." So I'm going to take you here specifically for a date and make money to support your family, and it's enough for me to be my boyfriend. ”

She smiled shyly and said something about me. After a while, the boss brought two cups of coffee, American and Latte.

"I ordered this cup for you, taste it. "I pushed the latte to her side.

"It's so fragrant, I get the taste of milk. ”

I looked at his crooked smiling eyes and confirmed that she liked the taste of lattes very much, and she and I exchanged affirmative glances with each other. We looked at each other like this, but I could clearly see that this person didn't seem to be Ishin. Ihin has never been like this in my memory, and Ixin and I have never experienced anything like this.

The girl in front of her was squirming uneasy, as if she was afraid of being bumped into by others. Completely opposite to Yi Xin's personality, I suddenly remembered Yi Xin, who was sitting across from me a few days ago, but he was like another person, drinking ice American, and talking to me about what kind of coffee was the best. I found that the way Yi Xin looked at me, through the smoke wafting from the coffee, through the strong smell of coffee, a whole river flickered.

When was this memory and what happened in it?

I fought hard and finally arrived at Yi Xin's house, Yi Xin was busy before and after, although she didn't talk much, but her gestures showed her ability and courage. One will prepare various ingredients, and the other will slice the thawed lamb. I looked at her busy figure and wanted to get up and help her.

"Sit down, I'll cook for you today, and you're not allowed to help me. ”

"Haha, I haven't stood up yet, how do you know I'm going to help you. ”

"I don't understand your thoughts, and besides, I'm done with everything I can do here, you can just sit there and wait to eat, and I can't bear to let you help me when I see that you are not in good spirits." ”

"Why do you seem to know all my thoughts, then I'll be waiting to taste the mutton you made this time. "She is a careful, aura woman, as if she can do everything, but it is also very distressing.

"Chen Ye, come and taste it, this mutton replenishes qi and blood, you have been lacking in energy for the past few days, which makes me worry. ”

"It's delicious, Yixin, you're even so good at cooking. I ate until the tip of my nose was sweating, looked at Yi Xin, who was methodically soaking the mutton, and praised.

"That's fine, you get better quickly, so I can relax and continue working. ”

"Ishin, let's go to the beach this weekend. I blurted out.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the beach, you're not afraid that you won't have time for work?"

"I was thinking that we hadn't traveled together in a long time, and you were so nice to me. Whereas... And I'm in such a bad state now, and I definitely can't do my job well, so I might as well go out and relax with you. I said in a panic, for fear of being rejected by Yixin. I felt guilty about my doubts about her, and I wanted to make amends, but also to comfort myself.

"Well, we'll go to the beach that weekend, and it's not far anyway. By the way, do you want to call your mother along, just take her out to relax. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back tonight and tell her, she really hasn't been out for a long time, and this time it's just together. "I'm pretty sure that the 'mom' I'm talking about is my mom. As far back as I can remember, Ishin never seemed to mention her family, probably because she didn't want to recall something unpleasant, so I didn't ask.

After dinner, I went back to my house, told my mother that I was going to the beach, and went to sleep peacefully. In my dreams, I felt like I was in a lively city by the sea, with ferries swaying on the sea, and loving couples everywhere. People gather to eat, fleeing their lives like a ritual and falling into another kind of earthly fireworks.
