Chapter 24: Lady Lucy
The atmosphere between the two was suddenly much more relaxed, and at this time, Xu Xincheng remembered that he hadn't ordered coffee yet, so he politely beckoned to a waiter standing not far away and motioned for her to come over.
"What would you like to drink?" he asked politely.
"I said it yesterday, and today I'm in for a treat. I want a glass of Espresso. Feel free to do so. β
"Okay. Thank you!"
At this time, the waiter came over politely, first bowed slightly to Lucy, and said very respectfully, "Hello, Lady Lucy, what do you want to drink today?"
He was a little curious about the title "Lady Lucy".
It stands to reason that in order to show respect for a certain woman, you can call her Ms., but it means "lady", and it is generally only used to refer to older women, and young people like Lucy can generally only use Miss.
However, he immediately thought about it again, the title Miss is too ordinary, and the Lucy in front of him is much, much more noble and elegant than Princess Diana of the United Kingdom, who is known as Lady Diana, so it is indeed the most suitable to call her Lady Lucy.
Lucy said, "Hello Shirley, I still want an espresso." Thank you!"
"I want an Italian latte. Thank you!"
After the waiter left, Xu Xincheng asked, "You often come here, are you a regular customer here?"
"Yes. β
"It's a great place, it's really beautiful, and it's probably one of the best places I've ever seen to enjoy the city centre. β
Lucy smiled and nodded, then looked at him very seriously and asked, "Can I ask some questions about you personally?" I want to know more about you. β
As in the early hours of yesterday morning, she still used the word "understand", but he didn't think much about it and said, "Of course you can." β
"Where are you from, and when did you come to Guangzhou?"
"I'm from Chengdong. 5 years ago came to Guangzhou to study, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, major in business English. After graduating, he stayed. β
"Look at your business card, you work in Hongfei, right?"
"Yes, working in the Hongfei AI Division. β
"How long have you been working there?"
"I've been working there since the summer of my junior year, and until now, it's been almost two years. Lucy's question made him feel a little strange, a bit like an interview, but he didn't care.
Lucy nodded thoughtfully, pausing for a moment.
Seeing her stop, Xu Xincheng was afraid of being cold, and he was even more afraid of appearing to be stage fright, although he did have some stage fright at the moment, but because of this, he should interact more to appear more natural, so he asked: "Eh...... What about you? Where are you from?"
Lucy smiled slightly and said, "Guess. β
I didn't expect her to respond like this, he was a little at a loss for a while, he definitely couldn't guess, and it was definitely not good to talk about a random place.
His mind spun around several times, and he felt that the best way to deal with it at this time was to make a joke with her, and even if he thought of what to say, he could not only round the scene, but also praise her fairy-like beauty by the way, and he said with a smile: "I guess...... , I guess you are a beautiful angel sent to the mortal world by heaven, a beautiful angel who fell from the sky, and the most beautiful angel in heaven. β
Lucy smiled lightly and whispered, "Thank you!"
The smile was as faint as a thin veil that suddenly appeared in the cloudless clear sky, and after only a few moments, the smile disappeared like a thin cloud.
Lucy said meaningfully and seriously: "But it didn't 'fall', it 'flew' down." β
Xu Xincheng thought that she was pretending to be serious and joking with him along the lines of this joke, so he also cooperated and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it flew down." β
---------
Xu Xincheng later learned that when Lucy said that, she was not "pretending to be serious", she was "seriously".
---------
At this moment, the waiter respectfully served two cups of coffee.
Xu Xincheng knew that the topic just now could no longer be discussed, and he had to change the topic immediately.
He raised his glass and took a sip of coffee, tasting it carefully, the coffee was mellow and rich, smooth and delicate, with a sweet aftertaste, and it was a first-class premium coffee.
He complimented: "The coffee here is really good, the best coffee I've ever had, not one of the best." β
Lucy also took a sip of her glass, put down her coffee cup, and said, "The coffee here is probably the best in Guangzhou." β
He turned his head to look out the window at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but exclaim, "The view here is probably the best." I now understand that the best thing to go with the best coffee is not milk or dessert, but the best view. β
---------
The atmosphere of the next chat has always been very good, however, Lucy rarely talks about her own affairs, and Xu Xin wants to ask her more questions in order to know more about her, after all, he has too many questions about her in these encounters.
However, since Lucy didn't want to reveal too much information about himself to him, he didn't force it, and he didn't think it was strange, it was normal for girls to be reserved.
Lucy was very interested in his personal situation and experience, asked a lot of questions, and he answered them honestly, and he also talked about many things when he was a child, including the shock when he saw the map of China and the world on his sixth birthday, the ideal of stepping out of the 8th-tier city and going to the vast world at that moment, the seeds planted at that moment to let his parents live a better life, and the experience of his first trip to Guangzhou with his parents when he was a child, and how the seed in his heart took root and how it continued to growγ
Xu Xincheng has been frank, sincere and above board since he was a child, and he never minds revealing his situation to his friends.
However, he also knew very well that what he said today was indeed a bit much, and the first time the two met, he talked so much about his childhood, which was actually inappropriate according to common sense.
But, for some reason, he always felt that he and Lucy were more like friends who had known each other for a long time, and in front of her, he could completely open his heart and he was willing to tell her everything.
The two chatted until half past five.
Lucy finally said, "It's really a pleasure to talk to you! Can we make another appointment? You've been with me for three nights, and I should have asked you three times." β
Hearing her invitation, Xu Xincheng was of course very happy, he knew very well that the gap between himself and her was simply a cloud and mud, but it was no problem to make friends with her, and he also liked the feeling when chatting with her, he thought to himself: "In fairy tales, when the seven dwarfs get along with Snow White, when they chat with her, they probably have such a good feeling!"
He nodded happily and said, "Of course." β
"Then next Sunday, it's still three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still here. β
He replied cheerfully, "Yes! β
