Chapter 111: A Date at a Café
Speaking of which, the environment of this café is indeed very good, the location itself is relatively quiet, the interior decoration is also simple and elegant, the indoor lighting is neither very dim nor too bright and dazzling, and the golden yellow hue makes people feel very comfortable. Although the sound system hidden in an inconspicuous place is deliberately turned down very small, the sound quality is quite high, which can ensure that every guest can quietly listen to the clear sound quality like a stream, but it will not affect the whispering of guests at the same table. In addition, the free provision of WIFI Internet access has attracted a lot of urban white-collar workers to patronize here, such as Huzi who often brings a laptop to work here.
Xiao Nan doesn't know much about coffee, at most when she stays up late and works overtime, she just has some instant relief from fatigue, relatively speaking, she prefers refreshing beer when she gets together with friends, so she enters the café with a black eye, and she doesn't know which one to ask in the face of the smiling face of the beautiful waitress.
"Give her a latte, I want a vanilla coffee with some sugar. Unlike Xiao Nan, Xiao Ting is quite familiar with coffee. "Two more of these cakes, that's all, thank you......"
After the waiter left, Xiao Nan gently held Xiao Ting's hand, the two held each other and looked at each other for a long time, Xiao Ting suddenly pulled out her right hand and touched Xiao Nan's face: "I haven't seen you for a few days, obviously thin, this chin is much sharper, and his face is pale, it is really distressing to look at, you are ...... now Still not feeling well?"
Xiao Nan smiled and shook his head: "It's almost over, what's the point of being uncomfortable, it's not as bad as you were at that time, it's just that you're always dizzy and tired, plus you've been working overtime and staying up late for the past few days, and you feel a little tired......"
"My poor baby ......" Xiao Ting gently stroked Xiao Nan's cold face with her warm and soft palm: "I made you suffer, hey...... It's all because I made you like this......"
Hearing Xiao Ting's words, Xiao Nan suddenly felt a sour nose, and her vision in front of her was a little blurred, but her heart began to dissolve like a piece of ice soaked in a hot spring.
Xiao Nan held Xiao Ting's hand and gently pressed it on her heart, smiled and said to Xiao Ting: "You stupid girl, how can you say that you hurt me, all this is because of me, and I can only blame myself for my bad luck...... "The two people's four hands once again became in a state of holding each other, although no one spoke, there were thousands of words in each other's eyes.
"By the way, how did you remember to ask me to come to this place? I remember...... You don't like coffee very much, do you?" asked Xiao Nan as if she suddenly remembered something strange. "We've been together for so long, you've never asked me to come to a place like this......"
"What? I asked you out?" Xiao Nan also felt very surprised at this time, obviously Huzi called and asked her and Xiaoting to come out at the same time, didn't Xiaoting know?
"Didn't you ask Huzi to give me a message along the way?
…………
……
Two hours before the borrowing room of the City Library.
"Xiaoting, someone is looking for you!" Sister Qi, who was managing the return of books by readers at the door, whispered to Xiao Ting, who was sorting out the bookshelves.
"Hey, I'll be right away!" Xiao Ting, who was wearing a sleeved apron, quickly inserted the thick stack of books that had been classified into the bookshelf in her arms one by one, and then turned around and ran towards the door of the borrowing room.
"Who is looking for me, Sister Qi?"
"It's a handsome guy! Our family Ting'er's vision is really good!" Sister Qi deliberately made fun of Xiaoting and pointed out the door.
"Sister Qi - don't joke around......" Xiao Ting looked in the direction of Sister Qi's finger and saw a tall and sturdy young man standing with his back to her in the corridor, looking like a sturdy athlete, wearing a straight black suit, carrying a dark brown computer bag on one shoulder, looking like a white-collar worker of a company, and was texting with his mobile phone at this time.
Xiaoting walked all the way to the door of the borrowing room, only to find that this young white-collar worker in a suit and leather shoes was actually a tiger. In Xiaoting's impression, Huzi has always been dressed in casual clothes or racing clothes or something, and he looks like he is not in shape all day long, and it is the first time he has seen him wearing such a formal dress in professional clothes. Speaking of which, this is really handsome - it's a pity that you are not my dish, Xiao Ting thought to herself.
"Brother Huzi, why are you here?"
Huzi heard Xiao Ting's voice and hurriedly turned around, Xiao Ting was surprised to find that this guy had a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which made Huzi's originally quite hard and handsome temperament a little more elegant, and Xiao Ting was very uncomfortable for a while.
"You...... Why are you still wearing glasses?" asked Xiao Ting in surprise.
"Hey...... CS, I've been playing too many online leagues lately, and my eyes are a little hard to see...... "Huzi stretched out his hand and took off his glasses, and said with a smile: "I'm a little unaccustomed to dressing like this, right?"
"Well, I'm not used to it, I feel like a prodigal son is looking back......" Xiaoting is still her usual style, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, half praise and half loss, which makes Huzi cry and laugh. "Why did you remember to break lines today?"
"Hi...... came out to sign the contract, my sister forced me to dress formally, this skin made me restless, if it wasn't for the cold weather, I would have picked it up early. Huzi shrugged helplessly after speaking.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Xiao Ting saw that Huzi's eyes were fluttering and she didn't look at her much, and felt that this guy must have a ghost, so she asked him bluntly.
"Oh, that's it, Xiao Nan asked me to bring you a message for her, saying that I will ask you to go to the café on XX Road tonight......" Huzi unconsciously scratched his head with his hand: "I just happened to pass here, and I came to you when I remembered this......"
…………
……
"Hehe, don't you have any suspicions at all? If I ask you to call directly, why do you need him to pass the word in the middle?" Xiao Nan also felt ridiculous when he heard it, such a simple scam was simply full of loopholes.
"Just by him, he wants to deceive me a million years earlier!" Xiao Ting raised her little face proudly: "I'm just curious, I want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd." ”
The two girls were chatting quietly and intimately, and the waiter came over with a plate and brought them a cup of coffee and a delicate little cake. "Please slow down ......"
"Huzi, this guy still hasn't shown up, I don't know what the hell he wants to do, but I've seen the introduction of this store in the food section of Z City Information Port before, and according to rumors, the taste is quite punctual, so it's okay to enjoy life once in a while?" Xiao Ting said and picked up a small cake and stretched it out to Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed to see left and right that no one was paying attention to her, so she quickly opened her mouth to eat the cake, Xiao Ting just waited to see her nervous look, she felt very funny and cute, and couldn't help but giggle, Xiao Nan found that Xiao Ting was laughing at her, and she also smirked.
Suddenly, the background music that had been playing in the café stopped, and after a brief silence, a string of mercury-like notes came from the far end of the hall. Originally, the café had a grand piano, which was placed in the innermost part of the hall against the wall, and sometimes there were part-time luthiers performing live.
The piece played by the pianist is Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", obviously the pianist's skills have been quite hot, and the music played by the skillful fingering is as smooth and pleasant as flowing water, and the faint sadness in the soft and soothing melody of the first movement is very well expressed, Xiao Ting, who was forced to learn the piano by her parents since she was a child, couldn't help but nod her head lightly to express her appreciation, and even Xiao Nan, who doesn't understand the piano at all but likes to listen to some of the music of what kind of music, also feels that this piece is played quite well.
It seems that this performance was also praised by most of the customers in the hall, and the customers stopped whispering softly to themselves and their companions in the hope of enjoying this beautiful piece of music carefully.
The pianist did not finish the whole piece, but only picked the first movement for an impromptu performance, and at the end of the song, the customers in the hall were still immersed in the wonderful performance of the pianist, and for a long time they maintained an unusually quiet atmosphere.
"This person's level is quite ......," Xiao Ting whispered in Xiao Nan's ear. Xiao Nan smiled and nodded, although she didn't know how to play the piano, she knew how to appreciate how to listen to it. When the two were whispering intimately, suddenly a waiter quietly came over, and handed Xiao Ting a small card folded in half with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Nan asked curiously, Xiao Ting smiled bitterly and handed the card to Xiao Nan: "It seems that there is trouble......" Xiao Nan took it and took a look, and immediately thought of Huzi's purpose for asking her out today, stood up and looked into the hall, but did not see Huzi's figure, vaguely remembered that the person who played the piano just now was a very young man, and his age was not much different from Huzi, but he was far away and couldn't see his face clearly, where is that person sitting now?
"Don't look for it, what's the matter...... Xiao Ting pulled Xiao Nan's sleeve and asked her to sit down, and winked at her mysteriously: "How long have you not heard me play the piano?"
"What, you want to play the piano with that person?" Xiao Nan said with a smile. "Or, a friend with a piano?"
"Phew, it's not!" Xiao Tingqiao's face flushed slightly. "I don't want to be offered a song in vain, isn't it great? No matter how well he plays, I'm just not rare, I'll play a song to pay him back, everyone doesn't owe each other!"
