When I got off at the bus stop in Guandu Ancient Town, Guangfu Road, Li Rui's face fell into a miserable pale again, but it was okay at the moment, at least I didn't vomit, I accompanied her to rest at the bus stop for two or three minutes, and then we walked to the ancient town.

The bluestone pavement bears the traces of the years, through the square, you can still see the King Kong Pagoda left by the Ming Dynasty, Li Rui walked beside me, wearing high heels and walking carefully, I didn't dare to urge her, I always felt that she was a little absent-minded, with a low face, and I didn't know if she was uncomfortable with motion sickness or something in her heart.

Walk through the square and turn into the winding path, at the end of the bar street to the old continent's bar, "Bubu" lying in front of the door napping, hearing the footsteps it will raise its head to look at a few times, I pointed to the bar in the old continent and said to Li Rui: "This is it, the old continent may be ready to cook and wait for us." ”

Li Rui looked up and said to me, "This place seems to be very special. ”

"You're right, it's really special, and when you go inside, you'll find a lot of it. ”

Walking into the bar, Lao Zhou came out of the kitchen on the first floor with an apron and said to me: "Come back silently, I still have a dish, you can take your friends to sit casually for a while." ”

"Good. I said to Li Rui: "Lao Zhou, the owner of this bar, is also my landlord, and Professor Zheng is Lao Zhou's friend. ”

Li Rui greeted Lao Zhou with a shy smile, and Lao Zhou took the initiative to ask, "What to drink?"

"Thanks, just a cup of coffee. ”

"I'll grind!" I said to Lao Zhou: "You go to the kitchen to get busy, I'll greet Li Rui, they are all my own people, you don't need to be polite." ”

Lao Zhou reminded me and said, "Take the coffee beans in the second jar, which I have privately." ”

I snapped my fingers and said, "Roger!"

Li Rui put her computer next to a booth near the bar, but she was attracted by a painting on the wall, this is a watercolor painting, the bluestone pavement stretches into the distance, the low houses on both sides have suffered from the vicissitudes of time, and a sunset in the distance hangs among the colorful clouds, Lao Zhou's paintings are always full of artistic sense. I grind coffee beans for Li Rui in the bar, and I have been mixing here in Laozhou for a long time, and I can use the coffee machine or something, pursuing a sense of art, and I can also make a simple latte art.

A few minutes later, I brought a cup of hot coffee to Li Rui, stood next to her and asked, "Do you like this painting too?"

Li Rui nodded, took the coffee from my hand and said, "I like it, but I don't know why I like it, I watched it for a long time, and I didn't seem to see what she was drawing, but I just liked it." ”

I said to Li Rui: "We feel the same, I have always liked Lao Zhou's paintings, and his paintings are not only a painting, but also a story." ”

Li Rui took a sip of coffee, but when she was drinking coffee, her eyes kept staring at the painting on the wall, until the coffee entrance, she came back to her senses and looked down at the coffee, and asked in surprise: "What kind of coffee beans are these? ”

At this time, Lao Zhou came out of the kitchen with two plates of dishes, and happened to hear Li Rui's words, she answered and said to Li Rui: "Girl, your taste is good, this is a Dutch coffee bean, and a friend brought it back to me from abroad, do you like it? ”

"No, no, no!" Li Rui hurriedly refused and said: "This is from your friend, how can I be embarrassed to ask for it, thank you so much, I appreciate my kindness." ”

"Let's eat first. I said to Li Rui: "Taste Lao Zhou's craftsmanship, you will think that his cooking is more delicious." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Lao Zhou joked: "If people think that my cooking is not delicious, won't they slap you in the face?"

After speaking, Lao Zhou went to the kitchen to serve food, and Li Rui whispered beside me, "Do you think that your friend looks very similar to the old wolf?" ”

"Hairstyle, figure, eyes, or the melancholy temperament of his body?"

"It's all the same!"

Lao Zhou's craftsmanship is really not boasted, the food tastes very delicious, Li Rui is naturally full of praise for Lao Zhou's craftsmanship, we talked about this Professor Zheng Rumei during the meal, Lao Zhou has a high evaluation of Zheng Rumei, I asked Lao Zhou, what is Professor Zheng Rumei's character.

Lao Zhou hesitated for a long time, and finally only said one sentence: When she meets someone who is in love, she will have a good personality. When she meets someone who doesn't fall in love, she is very cold.

I suddenly despaired, why did I fall in love with a well-known professor? Immediately, my heart was half cold, and I pinned all my hopes on Lao Zhou, just asking Zheng Rumei to look at Lao Zhou's face and agree to our small request.

After eating, Li Rui took the initiative to help Lao Zhou wash the dishes, but this kind of thing was stopped by me, I have an unwritten rule with Lao Zhou, I wash the dishes when he cooks, and he cooks when I wash the dishes. I'll let Li Rui get busy with her information, don't delay the business.

Li Rui found a few recent photos of Professor Zheng Rumei on Lao Zhou's mobile phone, and then she found some clothes she had designed based on the recent photos, downloaded the pictures from the network disk to the computer, and prepared to show them to Professor Zheng Rumei at night.

We waited from seven o'clock to eight o'clock, from eight o'clock to nine o'clock, seeing the time approaching little by little, Li Rui and I became nervous, especially after half past nine, I obviously felt that life was like a year, and the time passed as if a century was so long, I wanted to look up in the direction of the door many times in a minute, but each time I lowered my head in disappointment.

At ten o'clock, Lao Zhou couldn't sit still, picked up his mobile phone and said, "Let me call Professor Zheng and ask her what the situation is over there, why haven't she come over yet." ”

"Stop fighting. I said to Lao Zhou: "We have a request for others, and urge them to hurry up, this is not very polite, I am worried that she will be unhappy." ”

"yes. Li Rui also said to Lao Zhou: "Let's wait." ”

"Oh well. Lao Zhou put down his mobile phone and said to me and Li Rui: "Professor Zheng is very serious and responsible, he hasn't arrived so late, there should be something......

As he was talking, Lao Zhou's mobile phone on the desktop rang, Li Rui and I instinctively looked down, and sure enough, the three words "Zheng Rumei" were displayed on the screen. Before Lao Zhou could pick it up, my heart was already beating faster, and my eyes couldn't leave Lao Zhou's face.

Lao Zhou: "Hmm...... What?"

“……”

Lao Zhou: "Is it serious?Where is it now?I'll come to see you......"

“……”

Lao Zhou's expression relaxed a little, and he took the phone and said, "You take good care of the old lady, then let's do this today, and we'll make an appointment another day." ”

“……”

Lao Zhou: "It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, you take care of the elderly first, that's it, you're welcome." ”

After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhou looked at me and Li Rui apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, Professor Zheng can't come tonight." ”
