"Dad, why don't you leave?" Xiao Jinzhe asked Liu Weiming suspiciously.

"Son, dad ran into an acquaintance. Let's go over and say hello. Liu Weiming said a word, and pulled Xiao Jinzhe into the store.

This shop is really small compared to the large bookstores with several floors in the surrounding area, only about 40 square meters in size. Inside, there are bookshelves on one side, and a few quaint little round tables on the other. There were a few people sitting at the round table, all sitting there quietly reading a book. Some drank tea, some drank coffee, but it was very quiet, no one was talking, except for the soft music coming from the stereo.

Liu Weiming walked in and felt a unique atmosphere, which was completely opposite to the snobbish reality outside the door. Just like the word static written on the signboard, every qiē here is quiet, except for the sound of flipping books.

What Liu Weiming saw was a quiet woman who was sorting out books on the bookshelf, the woman's white dress was not enchanting or conspicuous, but it gave people a very quiet and beautiful feeling, especially the long flowing hair that was still the same. The woman apparently did not notice this big and small two "men." "Come in, and when I've finished arranging my books, I'm picking up a book and sitting down at a small table in the corner with a cup of coffee on it. The woman sat down and began to read, as if she were not disturbed by the outside world at all.

Xiao Jinzhe saw that his father had been looking at this woman, and asked curiously, "Dad, is the friend you are talking about this aunt?"

Xiao Jinzhe's voice obviously broke the silence here, and the only few people, including the woman, raised their heads to look at Liu Weiming and his son.

The woman saw Liu Weiming's face full of surprise, and Liu Weiming smiled at the people present a little embarrassedly, and then said, "I'm sorry to disturb you reading." ”

After Liu Weiming finished speaking, he looked at the woman, and the woman looked at Liu Weiming all the time.

"I brought my kids over to buy a few books, and when I passed by here, I happened to see you, and I thought it was very similar, so I came in to see if it was. Liu Weiming just looked at the woman, took two steps closer and said softly. Then he said to Xiao Jinzhe: "Son, go to the bookshelf and look at the books, and I will talk to my aunt for a while." But you have to remember, you can't make trouble, you can't make noise, you can't disturb other people's reading, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, Dad, I won't walk around, or Mom will spank me. Xiao Jinzhe said as if he was very sensible, and then walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the books he was interested in.

"Your son is very cute and very much like you, especially with his eyebrows and eyes, and he has a heroic spirit. The woman looked at Liu Weiming and asked softly, then looked at the child again. Without waiting for Liu Weiming to answer, the woman said: "The children in this book should not be interested." There are some famous books here, and there are many foreign ones, and there are also many books on philosophy, literature, novels, and so on. ”

He also let him receive the influence of literature occasionally, so that he can offset the interference of those dregs in real life. Liu Weiming smiled.

"Tea, I think you're not used to coffee. The woman asked, then answered again, and then turned and walked straight to a small door inside.

Liu Weiming sat directly next to the woman, feeling this qiē, and his heart was very shocked. Yes, that's right, this woman is Dong Jing, the woman who makes Liu Weiming always unforgettable, and has always kept expectations in his heart.

Not long after, Dong Jing walked out with a cup of tea and put it in front of Liu Weiming.

Neither of them spoke, just watched.

"It's a fitting name, both for your person and for the atmosphere, and I love it. Liu Weiming said lightly, and then took a sip of tea.

"How long has it been open?" asked Liu Weiming again.

"You opened it shortly after you left, and a friend helped find this storefront. Dong Jing also said lightly, but the eyes that looked at Liu Weiming still contained a lot of things.

Liu Weiming looked at Dong Jing, both of them were silent, and they didn't know what to say.

"You said you were going to open a bookstore, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect you to open it. Liu Weiming remembered a topic and smiled and said, then looked around again, and then said, "How is the business?"

"Generally, many guests like to come here to read, on weekends there will be a little more people, there is a floor upstairs, it will be open on weekends, usually to work, so there are not many people. Because there are many people who like books, there are also many people who buy books, and in addition, they can earn a little bit on tea, and the rent is not expensive, so they still make some money. Dong Jing said casually. Liu Weiming looked at it, and sure enough, there was a closed door on the side.

"This society is now materialistic, and it is indeed a dream for many people to come to this kind of place to drink tea and read books, and I like it very much. Liu Weiming nodded and said, he knew that Dong Jing had never been a person who survived for profit, and whether she made a profit or not was really not too important to her, and her purpose of opening a bookstore Liu Weiming was very clear.

"I know, that's what you want to live in life. Just like your name, Jing. After Liu Weiming finished speaking, he added.

Dong Jing nodded and did not speak.

was silent again, and then Liu Weiming looked at Dong Jing's delicate face and said gently: "I wanted to find you for a while, but in the end, I didn't find you. Liu Weiming suddenly said an ambiguous word, but Dong Jing could understand it.

Dong Jing looked at Liu Weiming with complicated eyes again, and then said: "I also thought that I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect to see you anyway." Maybe it's fate. ”

"Are you okay over there? I've heard it's very poor there. Dong Jing looked at Liu Weiming, and suddenly changed the topic and said.

"No matter how hard it is, you can't be a leader. Liu Weiming smiled and said, "If possible, I would also like to quit my job and go home to open a small shop like this, not seeking profit but calming my mind." But I know it's hard for me to calm down. ”

"You don't fit because you have pursuits, and I don't. If anything, what I'm looking for is actually one thing, which is tranquility. Dong Jing nodded and said.

The conversation between the two is completely unnutritious, and it is jumpy, and it is difficult for others to keep up with this rhythm, but the two of them have a good conversation, because only they know what the other is talking about.

"The book you bought for your son?" Dong Jing took out a book that Liu Weiming put on the table, looked at it and said: "Time flies so fast, he shouldn't have been born when I met you, and in a blink of an eye, he was so old." ”

"This kid grows up very fast, I don't come back often, and when I see him today, I almost don't know him. I'm a failure as a father. Liu Weiming looked back at his son, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the book, and sighed.

"You're not a person who can calm down, and you're not a man who can stay at home. So, it's meant to be. Your success dooms your family to have something to lose. Dong Jing said slowly.

Liu Weiming chewed Dong Jing's words carefully, felt that what Dong Jing said was also very reasonable, and smiled.

The two were silent again, and finally Liu Weiming mustered up the courage to ask Dong Jing: "Are you...... Or is it a person?"

Dong Jing looked at Liu Weiming and nodded.

"Didn't you meet a suitable one?" Liu Weiming heard Dong Jing's words, and the whole person suddenly relaxed. Liu Weiming thought in his heart, if Dong Jing said yes, then what would he feel in his heart? angry, sad, or sad. Liu Weiming thinks about it carefully, maybe there will be.

Dong Jing smiled rarely, and then said: "I am not a woman suitable for falling in love, and I am not a woman suitable for husband and children, so I think a person is the most suitable for me." ”

Liu Weiming felt very familiar when he heard this, Dong Jing had already said this to himself, she was not a woman suitable for marriage. It seems that she really intends to grow old alone.

"Don't worry about me. Dong Jing looked at Liu Weiming's eyes and said a little freely, and then said: "If one day I feel that I am tired of this kind of life, and when I long for marriage, I may find someone to marry." It's just that I'm not at the age I longed for. ”

"Do you think I should support you or oppose you?" After Liu Weiming heard Dong Jing say this, he looked at Dong Jing and said.

This sentence is very subtle and straightforward, and both of them are very clear about what they are saying. So, after the two men finished speaking, they were silent and looked at each other.

In the relationship between two people, this kind of question is difficult to answer and cannot be answered.

Suddenly, Liu Weiming's mobile phone rang, waking up the two in silence.

Liu Weiming looked at his phone, it was Jin Qian calling.

"Wei Ming, have you received your son, why haven't you come back yet?" Jin Qian asked a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, I've already received it, my son's teacher said that their teacher gave them an assignment to read outside of class every week, so I accompanied him to buy books and went back immediately. Liu Weiming glanced at Dong Jing and said.

"Then come back quickly, and be careful when driving on the road. The dish was almost ready, and Zhong Li also came. Jin Qian greeted again.

Liu Weiming hung up the phone after humming, and then looked at Dong Jing with complicated eyes. The two were silent again, and then Liu Weiming broke the silence and said, "I have to go back." ”

"Yes. Dong Jing nodded and replied.

"When I go back to Linyang, I will come here to read a book when I have time, and remember to leave a place for me to have a cup of tea when the time comes. Liu Weiming thought for a while and said something that seemed to be a lighter topic.

Seeing that Dong Jing didn't speak, Liu Weiming smiled and joked again: "Of course, I will pay." ”

"If you pay, I'll take it. Dong Jing also smiled faintly and said.

"I'll go first. Liu Weiming was silent for a moment and said again. Dong Jing still nodded.

Liu Weiming looked at Dong Jing's face again, then picked up the book, turned around and walked to his son's side and said, "Son, let's go, let's go home, my mother has already cooked." ”

Then he took Xiao Jinzhe and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute. Dong Jing suddenly came over and called Liu Weiming softly, and then ran to the bookshelf with a large number of books to find it, then took out a book and walked over to Liu Weiming and said: "The first time I saw your child, I have nothing else to give him except books, and the books here are probably not suitable for him to read." It's better to send a set of books, and when he grows up a little, he can read it, and this book should be helpful to his growth after reading it. ”
