Chapter 8 Turkish Coffee

The chandelier above the dining room slipped through the tiny gaps in the straw lampshade and struck lightly on He Shenge's face.

Luo Linlin looked at her former demure best friend with a strange light in her eyes at the moment, she had known He Shenge for so long, and she had never seen such a look on her face, even if she liked someone else.

But she felt uneasy about this, and after thinking about it twice, she still thought that she needed to warn her: "Do you want to be a foodie? Don't want to make money?

"No, I decided, I'm going to be a traveling foodie. ”

"Freelance? Do you have a convulsion?" Luo Linlin was surprised: "You have worked for so many years, even if you don't take the exam, just with the results of the students you brought out in Hongzhao Primary School in the past four years, it is enough for you to continue to teach in school, the profession of a teacher, with a stable income, weekends and weekends, and winter and summer vacations every year, and a thirteenth salary, this is the iron rice bowl that many people crave!"

Her voice involuntarily raised a little: "How can you say give up and give up? You are almost thirty now, if you don't earn enough now, you have a good foundation, you can start a business, but you go to freelance, you can't really be surprised." ”

As she spoke, her eyebrows were sad: "I'm afraid that you will lose your old capital, and then if you need money for something at home, you will not be able to turn it over." ”

"I understand. He Shenge knew that Luo Linlin had experienced too much, so he persuaded him from the bottom of his heart.

However, Lorraine's reaction was beyond her expectations, she thought that Lorraine would support her, no matter what she did before, Lorraine would always stand by her side and encourage her to support her, but she never thought that in this matter, even she was against it.

The light in her eyes dimmed little by little, and even the honey pie in her mouth felt like chewing wax.

Seeing He Shenge's gloomy look, Luo Linlin's heart was not comfortable, she rubbed her temples, and said to He Shenge: "I may have been in the society for a long time, and I am always afraid of making mistakes in doing things, so I dare not act rashly, if you want to do it, let it go, while you are not married." ”

"Well, I'll do my best. He Shenge swept away the haze just now, smiled and made a cheering gesture.

"Are you thinking about changing careers now, have you first learned about the travel foodie industry? Or are you just updating Weibo? You just have dozens of fans, you can't do it at all, what kind of home is general, there is a special media team behind it, and it will be very hard for you to be alone. ”

"It's hard at the beginning, I expected. He Shenge stirred the Turkish coffee a few times with a spoon, then took a sip and frowned: "Now I am like this cup of coffee, without sugar, it is bitter." ”

She tore open the sugar packet and poured it in: "But if I add the sugar slowly, it will become sweeter! ”

"And your capital, otherwise how can you drink Turkish coffee at the food stall?" Luo Linlin paused, and suddenly stared at He Shenge suspiciously: "You want to work with Gu Lance, right? Anyway, what kind of drug did he give you on this trip? Put down a good and stable teacher and go around all day? You didn't do this to him before, are you really serious about him?"

"It's not because of him. He Shenge's eyes were clear: "It's because of myself." ”

"It's a big risk, and it's ......"

"Don't worry, if this road is not good, it's a big deal to go back and continue to be a teacher. He Shenge shrugged his shoulders without paying any attention

"Have you really figured it out?" said Lorraine.

"Hmm. ”

Luo Linlin exhaled: "If you can't get along, it's a big deal that I'll raise you." ”

He Shen Ge Waner.

Just when Lorraine Lin was about to say something, at this moment, a couple next to her suddenly had an argument, and everyone in the restaurant immediately focused their eyes on the couple, and the guests did not feel disturbed but watched with great interest, and they were all bowing their heads and whispering.

The woman in the couple seems to have just spilled a glass of red wine on the man's body, and now the man's face is covered with reddish-brown liquid, which flows down his cheeks to the white collar, and dyes the collar burgundy.

"Shen Ge, you drink coffee first, and I'll deal with things first. Lorraine Lin hurriedly got up, and suddenly she turned around: "Turkish coffee can't be made by ordinary people, the boss invited a barista master in Turkey to make it, and it will only be available tonight every week, it's a good time for you to come, and I'll ask the barista to give you a divination later, and calculate whether you can change careers." ”

"Divination?"

"Yes, that's what Turkish coffee is selling. After Luo Linlin finished speaking, she walked calmly to the couple.

He Shenge was not worried that the situation would deteriorate, believing that Luo Linlin's ability would be enough to solve this trivial matter, so she put all her body and soul on tasting coffee.

At first, the coffee will still be a little bitter, but after a while, you can taste the sweetness, and when paired with the salty and sweet honey pie, the bitter taste will be diluted a lot, leaving a slight burnt aroma unique to coffee.

The noise in the restaurant gradually subsided, and the restaurant played a pleasant piano music, and the attention of the guests in the whole restaurant was distracted, and they began to listen intently.

He Shenge caught a glimpse of the two women at the table next to him retracting their gaze from watching the play, and continued to drink cocktails, eat puff pastry and Lukemi fudge, and continue to talk and laugh.

Obviously, Lorraine has already dealt with the emergency.

Just as He Shenge was contemplating coffee and pies, a man suddenly appeared and sat on the mint green low chair opposite her.

He Shenge looked up at him.

This man has short dark brown curly hair, a thin face, a pair of jet-black eyes under the deep eye sockets, he is wearing a well-cut black suit, still unable to hide his dark complexion, from the outside, it seems that he is a foreigner, somewhat similar to the people of Xinjiang, China, should be a landlocked country in Asia.

He looked at He Shenge with a smile.

He Shenge rarely came into contact with foreigners, but she seemed a little restrained, and she didn't know what this man meant by sitting opposite, out of politeness, she still took the initiative to say hello: "Hello." ”

"Good evening. "Men are very gentle.

"Are you Chinese?" He Shenge also guessed which country this was, but he spoke fluent Chinese.

The man scratched his head: "I am Turkish, I was admitted to a Chinese university, and then I studied Chinese." ”

"Oh. He Shenge lowered his head and looked at him in a trance: "You made my cup of coffee?"

He smiled faintly: "yes, do you think it tastes good?"

"I don't usually like to drink coffee, but I think it's okay, a little, the aroma of the rice grains after they are stir-fried, can you understand?"

"Eun, I know what you mean. ”

"My friend said just now, you can also use this coffee for divination?" He Shenge looked at him suspiciously.

"That's right. The barista glanced down at the coffee in front of He Shenge: "You haven't finished drinking this coffee yet, I can't divinate yet, if you think this coffee is not good, please tell me." ”

"Do you have to finish drinking?" asked He Shenge.

"Yes. He pursed his lips: "You don't have to drink it all at once for divination, take your time, can I talk to you before you finish drinking it?"

"Well, that's fine. ”

His tone was very relaxed and natural: "Have you been troubled lately?"

"What do you mean by that?" He Shenge's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sweets can give people a sense of pleasure, I see that you have almost eaten all the cakes, and you are enjoying the pleasure that the food brings you. ”

"It was recommended by my friend and I thought it was delicious. She licked her lips: "And I like to eat sweets too." ”

"Women with a sweet tooth are women who can give people sweetness and happiness. His swarthy face turned crimson.

He Shenge didn't agree with his words, and knew that what he said was simply polite to the guests, so she thanked him with a smile.

He took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to feign a relaxed tone: "Can you tell your troubles, beautiful lady?"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you. ”

"Well....... okay. He straightened up and carefully put his hand on the table: "Then may I take the liberty of asking Madame a question?"

You ask. He Shenge suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Her refusal just now was because she was not used to telling some strangers what was on her mind, and she asked these questions and told him in advance, so that there would not be much mystery in divination.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He looked directly at He Shenge with burning eyes, and his tone was very calm, as if he had accumulated courage for a long time: "From the moment you came in, I paid attention to you, you look like an oriental woman, very beautiful." ”

"Thank you. Her voice was lukewarm, just right: "I have a boyfriend." ”

"Can I pursue you, then?"

"What?" He Shenge suspected that he had misheard.

Even if you have a boyfriend, foreigners will often think that they are strong enough to win the favor of a woman, so they will do everything they can to fight for it, regardless of whether the other party has a crush on them or not.

The barista was very bold and reached out to shake He Shenge's hand: "Can we make friends?"

This move instantly startled He Shenge, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm her boyfriend, please respect her. A cold male voice came slowly overhead.

He Shenge stiffened, slowly raised his head, and met with a pair of cold eyes in the air.

Sure enough, this voice was Shen Xiuyan.

Dressed in a pure black suit, his face was cold, as if he had been frozen for thousands of years.

"I'm sorry. The barista's eyes suddenly showed a hint of sadness.

He Shenge's face sank: "He's not my boyfriend, but, I'm sorry, I love my boyfriend very much." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xiuyan's heart throbbed fiercely, but he was helplessly silent, and a bitter chuckle rose at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to divinate now, next time I come back, will I look for you again?" He Shenge's tone suddenly became detached and with a hint of murderous chill.

The barista is an understanding person, he glanced at Shen Xiuyan, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Mr. Shen, I suddenly have some new ideas about your invitation just now,

Let me think about it for a few days. ”

With that, he prepared to get up and leave.

Shen Xiuyan turned slightly sideways very gentlemanly, letting the barista walk past him arrogantly, and he still maintained a silent and cold face.

Judging from this scene filled with the smell of gunsmoke, He Shenge roughly understood in his heart.

She looked through the champagne-colored reflective wall as the barista faded into the coffee, with only a faint hint of mockery.

With Shen Xiuyan, who she was familiar with, his non-resistance just now was just to maintain a superficial gentleman, but when he actually turned around, he would give people a sudden critical blow, a hypocrite full of morality.

At the beginning, she always thought that he was very cowardly, but Shen Xiuyan just didn't expose his true self.

"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence. He Shenge took the initiative to say hello.

He was relieved just now, so he should smile back, and he can't stand there without others.

"Hmm. Shen Xiuyan sat down: "Didn't you resign and go to Guangzhou?"

"Come here to see Linlin. ”

"Will you be in Shenzhen these days?" his gaze kept following He Shenge.

"It depends. He Shenge didn't want to reveal his whereabouts.

After a moment of silence.

Luo Linlin came back, when she saw that the person sitting opposite He Shenge was Shen Xiuyan, she was very surprised in her heart, and when she looked back at He Shenge, she found that He Shenge was not unusual.

She suddenly became solemn and cold, took a glass of red wine from the tray held by the waiter passing by, and put it in front of Shen Xiuyan, her voice was very low: "Mr. Shen, haven't you already left?"

Although Luo Linlin deliberately lowered her voice, and there was music in the restaurant, He Shenge still heard it clearly.

It's just that she pretended not to hear.

Luo Linlin got up and provoked a smile: "Mr. Shen, long time no see." ”

"Hmm. Shen Xiuyan got up and looked at He Shenge: "I still have something to do, you guys slowly catch up, and ask Miss He to catch up another day." ”

He stood for a moment, didn't hear any response, only saw He Shenge slowly and methodically take a sip of coffee.

Immediately, he glanced at Lorraine, who gave a sarcastic smile, and he turned to leave.

Luo Linlin gently touched He Shenge with her arm: "Don't pretend, your hand holding the cup just now is trembling, don't think I don't know." ”

He Shenge's tone was very light, and he seemed to be forcibly calming: "No." ”

"I'm still very happy, you finally let go of the past and started to accept the ancient lance, you still can't let go of him? That's why you chose to flee Shenzhen?"
