Sitting in a café, listening to sad old love songs, drinking coffee quietly, letting time stand still, or walking away slowly, is a life that everyone yearns for.

The reason why I yearn for it is because it is rare!

The life of ordinary people is far from so exquisite, they are running for a livelihood every day, sit down and enjoy this exquisite life for a while, they need to sweat for a few more days to move bricks, which makes them very heartbroken.

"Have you really worked in this coffee shop?" Liu Lan's gaze scanned up and down the café, still a little incredulous.

It was difficult for him to connect a clerk in the HR department of Radium with a waiter at a café.

That's a lot of span!

"Yes!" He Xueyi looked at his confused eyes and nodded lightly.

"When you first came out, how did you think of going to work in a coffee shop?" Liu Lan was very curious.

"Liu Gong, I'm not like you, I have a bachelor's degree in my arms, just like Tang Seng has a customs clearance document in his hand, I can go anywhere, I don't have a diploma, I work in a factory, I can only be an assembly line general worker, because I work in a café, I don't have to work at night, in this way, I will have more time to prepare for the self-exam!" He Xueyi took a sip of coffee and said.

After speaking, she lowered her head and stared at the coffee in the cup, which was still steaming in the air-conditioned room.

The past slowly rose in the depths of her memory with the steaming coffee.

Four years ago, also in July, her father fell from a dam and died, not even a complete body was found, and the black-hearted contractor ran away overnight, and she cried for a long time.

In August, she got the long-awaited admission letter from a prestigious university in the north, but she couldn't be happier.

How easy is it for an orphan to go to college?

Instead of going to college, she gritted her teeth and took that college acceptance letter and stepped on the southbound train.

It was from that day that she began her life full of unknowns and began to struggle to survive, and before that, she struggled to be admitted to a good university.

In just one summer, his powerful father was gone, and everything changed.

Even the ideals have changed.

When she first came to Shenzhen, she wandered at the gates of many large and small factories in the industrial zone, and the factories there all had to work 12 hours a day, and they worked two shifts during the day and night.

Of course, this was not the job she wanted, and she had an immortal idea in her heart at that time, not only to work, but also to get a bachelor's degree in four years to make up for her regret that she did not go to college.

It was the "Waiting Cafe" that finally took her in from physical and mental exhaustion.

She didn't know Cantonese, and the manager of the café was moved by her, and admitted her exceptionally, giving her a harbor to stay in the wandering years, which was full of warmth and the temperature of home.

As soon as she thought of the past, she slowly turned around and glanced affectionately at the manager of the coffee shop, who was busy.

"Liu Gong, four years ago, I came to Shenzhen to look for a job, and it was not difficult to find a job as a general worker, but it was really difficult to find a job that I was satisfied with! Just when I was penniless and wanted to work as a general worker on the assembly line, it was this coffee shop that made an exception to take me in. He Xueyi took a sip of coffee, her heart fluctuated, but her expression was very calm.

"He Xueyi, you have a good appearance and an elegant temperament, you are really wronged when you come here to work, how can it be said that they made an exception to admit you?" Liu Lan was a little puzzled.

"I just came out to work, I don't know anything, most of the people who come to this shop to drink coffee are Chaozhou owners and Hong Kong customers, I don't know Cantonese, and I can't meet the requirements of the store for jobs at all. Four years ago, if I hadn't applied for a job at this store, I would soon be a busy general worker on the assembly line, working 12 hours a day, and I wouldn't have had time to study for homework and take self-study exams. When He Xueyi said this, her heart was full of gratitude.

"Yes! Congratulations on finally getting your undergraduate diploma!" Liu Lan didn't expect that the beautiful girl in front of him would go through such a bumpy road in Shenzhen, and he had a slight smile on his face, proud of her.

It's not easy to get a bachelor's degree while going to work!

It is difficult to get started in college, but it is very easy to graduate, and the difficulty of self-examination is far greater than that of studying in college.

"I have gained so much when I came to Shenzhen to work, and I would like to thank this café, which gave me a port of docking, and I would also like to thank you for giving me a lot of guidance and help in English. After He Xueyi finished speaking, she took another sip of coffee.

She is a person who knows how to be grateful!

"You don't want to thank anyone, what you really want to thank is yourself, without your persistence and hard work, everything is empty talk. Liu Lan looked at her quietly and said softly.

As soon as the diploma was mentioned, the two lines of tears in He Xueyi's eyes flowed down again, and she suddenly remembered her parents who were far away in heaven, if they were still there, they would definitely support her to go to the ideal university in her heart, and they would never let her work so hard to take the self-examination while working.

Liu Lan took out a tissue, helped her gently wipe away the tears on her face, and then stretched out a warm hand, held her hand tightly, and said softly: "I know it's not easy for you! Four years, while working and studying, it is really not easy to complete the college self-examination and the college entrance examination!"

As soon as He Xueyi heard him say this, his whole body suddenly became powerless, and his head drooped unobediently, leaning on Liu Lan's solid and broad shoulders.

At that moment, Liu Lan felt a powerful electric current flowing through the left ventricle and flowing through his mind, he secretly took a breath, slowly turned sideways, and gently stroked her jet-black hair that covered his shoulders with his other hand.

It was the first time he had been so presumptuous and couldn't help but stroke the hair of a person of the opposite sex.

Above the café, Marx's magnetic singing voice echoed in a low voice:

Wherever you do

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

He didn't want to speak, and he was so moved that tears flowed from his eyes.

She's a good girl, it's good to know her!

Outside the window, the dusk sun casts her last glimpse of great affection into the bustling streets of the city, and from the Lotus Mountain or Beacon Hill not far away, there is occasionally the vast and clear voice of the cuckoo, which is the voice of her hometown, the whisper of her family.

I don't know where the courage came from, Liu Lan held He Xueyi's delicate hand tightly, and never let go, the hand kept trembling, but there was no intention of withdrawing it.

He felt that shaking hands could give the other party strength, naturally, the hands that were tightly held by him also reminded him of "hands like soft wattles, skin like clotted fat", which filled his heart with great happiness, how could he be willing to let go?

That grip is not a hand at all, but the happiness of your own life!

After drinking coffee, the two of them walked out of the café holding hands.
