Chapter 4 Next Stop, Qingdao
The owner of Xinyuan Coffee Shop is a middle-aged man who is a little bald, and it is hard to imagine that such a person would open a coffee shop with a strong literary atmosphere.
I tethered the black ball to a small shelf in front of the shop, after all, pets are not allowed in the coffee shop.
"Try the heart-to-heart coffee brewed by this boss, it has a unique flavor. "We found a window seat and sat down.
"Well, listen to you. She nodded obediently.
I didn't expect her to show such a little girl-like expression, and I was a little distracted.
"What to drink?" I didn't come to my senses until my boss asked about me.
"Two cups of heart, one cup of no sugar. "
"OK。 The boss said as he gestured to me.
After a while, the coffee came up, and Xue Miao couldn't wait to take a sip, close her eyes and savor it.
Her brows frowned slightly, and then stretched out after a while, "The taste of this coffee is so suspicious, obviously the entrance is very bitter, but after swallowing it, there is a very faint sweetness, the key is that its bitterness is also obviously different from the bitterness of other coffees." "
I adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, then pondered for a moment, "This is what life tastes like." "
Xue Miao showed a very curious expression, "It's quite deep, it seems that you should have a special experience, can you tell me about it?"
I don't really like to share my story with others, even her. I like her appearance very much, but after only meeting her twice, she hasn't reached the point of that kind of heart-to-heart.
I looked at her and shook my head slowly, her eyes full of disappointment.
"I'm not going to talk about my story today, thank you in advance for helping me take care of the black ball. I hurriedly changed the subject.
"Don't be so polite, it's right to help each other, after all, you helped me yesterday, didn't you?" she smiled again.
"Don't you feel like Shanghainese?" I asked, slightly confused, her accent on the northern.
"Yes, I'm from Qingdao, and I'm here to send my girlfriend abroad in Shanghai this time. "
"Qingdao, a good place, a beautiful coastal city, an annual beer festival, I have always wanted to go. "
"Do you like to drink very much?" Xue Miao was puzzled.
"I like it, but I don't drink too much, after all, I've grown so big, and I've never been drunk, it's not that I'm a lot of alcohol, but I control myself when I drink, because I'm the only one by myself, and I have to... Take care of yourself... "The more I talked, the lower my voice became, and by the end of the day, I could barely hear it."......
She stood up and stroked my head with her hand, and then tried to talk to me with a very sincere gaze, I was a little at a loss by her slightly intimate movements, and then I heard her voice, "Officially acquaintance, my name is Xue Miao, Xue Rengui's 'Xue', and the 'Miao' of the three waters." "
I know what she's introducing herself so seriously, she wants to be my friend, and it's very sincere.
I originally wanted to refuse, after all, I was used to it alone, and with the black ball, the future life would not be the same as before. But looking at her piercing gaze, I couldn't say anything no to it.
This time it is not the 'departure' of parting, it is the 'separation' of Liyan, the 'Yan' of the three fires. "
"From now on, we'll be good friends, the kind that can make friends. Xue Miao said happily, but there was a hint of pride in her expression.
"Well, in the future, you Xue Miao will be my friend of Liyan!" I replied solemnly.
Thinking back to the conversation just now, I was full of emotion, life is really full of surprises, at least this encounter with Xue Miao is a big surprise.
"Qingdao... Qingdao ...... "I've been babbling in my mouth.
"Liyan, what are you muttering to yourself?" Xue Miao cast a curious glance at me.
"I'm about to leave the city, but I don't have a clue about where to go next, Qingdao has given me a good idea, and going to Qingdao may be a good choice. I brushed my bangs.
"Really? You want to go to Qingdao? I'm worried about how to drive the car back alone. Xue Miao looked very happy.
"Are you here by car? Qingdao to Shanghai is more than 700 kilometers, if you drive, it will only be farther, you are a girl's family, you can afford it?" I was surprised.
"Send my best friend, she has to ask me to drive her, but she came and didn't go back, when she came, the two of them could be interchanged, and I was the only one to go back, alas...... Between girlfriends, it's so affectionate. She shook her head and sighed faintly.
I was amused by Xue Miao's expression, pointing at her and laughing, "This time you were cheated by your best friend, but looking at your appearance, I feel that you have cheated your best friend a lot of times, when is the time for retribution." "
"Don't mention this, are you really going to Qingdao?" Xue Miao brushed her hair.
I calmed down and thought about it, and then said very seriously, "Go, the kind that never goes back." "
Xue Miao was very happy to get the news, her eyes rolled, but she stretched out her right hand to me again, and her little thumb was raised high.
I cast a puzzled look at her.
"Don't let me go!" she said fiercely.
Despite the unknown reason, I held out my right hand to her, and when the two little fingers were hooked together, I realized that it was an agreement.
Coming out of the café to say goodbye, just as I was about to leave with the black ball in my arms, Xue Miao called out to me again, "Liyan, you just left like this?
"Don't you have?" I was even more depressed, she was still calling me in the morning.
"That's what I went to the police station to check with, it's different in nature, you tell me yourself!"
I was afraid that she would be angry, so I quickly took out my mobile phone and scanned the code to add her WeChat, and she waved goodbye to me happily.
When I returned to the rental house in the evening, I lay on the somewhat shabby bed by the dim light, but I couldn't calm down anyway. took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and found the newly added Xue Miao today. Out of curiosity, I clicked on her circle of friends, but unfortunately, I didn't find any photos. Her circle of friends was blank, with only a scattered fallen leaf background standing there, which seemed extremely lonely.
I didn't post anything on my circle of friends, the most recent was a graduation photo I posted when I graduated from college three years ago.
"Have you slept?" Xue Miao's message suddenly popped up.
"Slept... Call...... Whew......"
"............ Will you reply to messages when you sleep?"
"The black ball returned..."
"You're a dog?"
"I'm Blackball. "
"...... Although the black ball is not a human, you are a real dog~~"
I didn't expect her to use such a very networked term, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, what kind of person is Xue Miao......
"Why don't you reply to messages?"
I was really sleepy, so I simply replied to her, "Go to bed early and wake up early, tomorrow is another day full of hope, good night......"
......
After a long time, I didn't see her reply, so I closed my eyes and began to wander in my dreams.
