Chapter 141: The Taste of Tears
Tang Xiayi made me a cup of Irish coffee, the door of the coffee shop was closed, and I really saw Irish coffee in action for the first time.
He smeared a circle of lemon juice on the rim of a special coffee cup, added two pieces of caramel and whiskey to the cup, and then lit the roast cup holder, Tang Xiayi slowly turned the base of the goblet, and then the whole room where ZuΓ² coffee was made filled with the rich aroma of wine.
"Want to try it?" He turned his head to look at me, and when he saw me nodding, he patiently demonstrated to me, his slender fingers turned the base of the goblet when baking the cup, it was really beautiful, and when he let go of his hand, I followed his example, holding the base of the quilt and slowly turning the cup.
"What's that?" I asked him by pointing to the machine that was also burning on the fire, and he poured something brown into it.
"It's a siphon pot." He replied lightly, his eyes focused.
The faint white mist that had appeared on the mouth of the cup disappeared, and he motioned for me to let go, and then took the goblet that was still baking, and moved it to the source of the burning fire, only to hear a thin "boom", and the blue flame began to burn in the cup, and he laid the quilt flat on the table, shaking the cup gently.
The whiskey in the glass shook slowly in the glass, Tang Xiayi saw that I was stunned, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and then said: "You must be careful in this step, you must not let the liquor spill out." β
I sighed, and saw that the flame in the wine glass gradually disappeared, and Tang Xiayi said softly: "The baking glass is over." His attention returned to the siphon pot, and after turning off the fire, and after a few more dizzying movements, I saw the brewed coffee-colored liquid in the siphon pot.
"Is that coffee?" I asked.
"Hmm." Tang Xiayi poured the coffee into the roasted goblet, and he said as he poured it: "This is Mandhelinji liquid, which will be stronger than ordinary single product coffee." β
I saw him pour coffee into the goblet until the second gold thread of the cup. Then he turned around and went back to get the prepared whipped cream.
Tang Xiayi slowly squeezed the foaming cream onto the hot coffee, and then sprinkled some chocolate powder.
"Alright." He said, and walked out with his coffee.
Outside, he found a window seat and sat down, then put his coffee across from him and motioned for me to sit down.
I sat down across from him. He smiled lightly and said, "Try it, is there any difference from what you drank before?" β
I picked up my coffee and took a careful sip.
I still feel the faint sweetness and sourness of the coffee, and unlike before, the salty taste can be clearly felt on the tip of the tongue.
"Got it?" Tang Xiayi stared at the expression on my face, and then asked.
I nodded, "I feel it." Today, this feeling is even greater. β
Is the saltiness of tears?
"Not tears." Tang Xiayi said: "I smeared a little salt on the mouth of the cup. β
I put down my coffee cup, I shook my head and said, "I'll never drink Irish coffee again." "Never drink again.
The feelings that were originally suppressed were disturbed by this sip of coffee.
Tang Xiayi's gaze became distant, he looked at the sky outside the window, sighed softly and said, "I once drank Irish coffee that a person made for me, but it didn't taste like this." β
I looked at his side face. Suddenly, I felt that time had become long and long.
"She made me Irish coffee. I had only made one cup, and then I went crazy and went around looking for people to learn how to make Irish coffee, and no matter how skilled I was, I couldn't get the taste of it. His voice was low, but clear. A shallow wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at me, then asked me, "Did you guess?" β
"Is it Long Shuyi?" I asked tentatively.
He nodded, "Hmm." β
It's like the faucet that has been dry all year round has suddenly been unscrewed, and the flowers that he has been hiding in his heart are like those clear water splashes. All gurgling out of the bottom of my heart.
"When I fell in love with Ru Lang, she was still a child who would cry, she dressed herself up like a princess every day, but her personality was quirky, she was very favored at home, Ru Lang treated her as a pearl in her palm, about when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was kidnapped, the kidnappers asked Ru Lang for two million in cash, and threatened to tear up the ticket if she called the police."
Tang Xiayi said eloquently, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes still stayed outside the window.
He said that when he learned that Ru Yu was kidnapped, Ru Lang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he was preparing a ransom, and secretly called the police, at that time, Tang Xiayi had just been admitted to the university, and he knew that Ru Yu was kidnapped, he was so anxious, with his weak strength, he almost searched all the abandoned factories in the city.
When the ransom was paid, the police arrested the kidnappers, but Ru Yu, who was a hostage, was gone.
When the kidnappers interrogated them, they found out that Ru had escaped, and that she had been kept in the trunk of the car, but when the kidnappers found out, she was no longer in the car.
Ru Yu said that it was Lin Yue who saved her.
She didn't tell Tang Xiayi, how did Lin Yue rescue her, but Ru Yu, who was originally very sticky to Tang Xiayi, began to have her own little secrets, until, Long Shuyi appeared.
Tang Xiayi said, in fact, Long Shuyi is very likable, except for Ru Lang, who is not very approachable, and Ru Qin, who seems to be negotiable, almost no one in the Ru family does not like her, she is easy-going and gentle, and soon became a good sister with Ru Yu who talks about everything.
Ru Yu also told Long Shuyi, who was a few years older than him, to tell her about her thoughts, and later learned that the student that Long Shuyi went to be a tutor turned out to be Ru Yu's sweetheart, Lin Yue.
"It was also when Long Shuyi showed a photo of himself and Lin Yue to Ru Yu, that he knew, no coincidence could not write a book, Ru Shu even regarded Long Shuyi as a cupid sent to him by God, and Long Shuyi also volunteered to tell Lin Yue's habits and hobbies that he knew." Tang Xiayi smiled and said, "I know the plot later." β
"Lin Yue fell in love with Long Shuyi, and was known by Ru Yu?" I asked.
Tang Xiayi nodded: "Not all, Lin Yue fell in love with Long Shuyi, but in fact, it was just Ru Qin's casual remarks in front of Ru Xuan, Ru Xuan believed it and had a big quarrel with Long Shuyi." β
Tang Xiayi said that at that time, in order to prove that she had no ** relationship with Lin Yue, Long Shuyi did not hesitate to say the words hidden in her heart, she told SΓΉ Ru that the person she liked was actually Tang Xiayi.
That time, Long Shuyi cried very sadly, because Tang Xiayi was also there at the time, and after she finished speaking, she ran out, and at that time, it was raining heavily.
"I chased out with an umbrella, and I remember that it was also dark at that time, and when I found Long Shuyi, she was sitting alone on a swing in the park, drenched. β¦β¦ I held her an umbrella to protect her from the rain, and she told me that I had held an umbrella for her on the first day she came to Ru's house, and since then, she has liked me. β
Tang Xiayi's eyes gradually filled with tears, he looked at me, showed a bitter smile, and then said, "But do you know? I will hold an umbrella for her that day, because there is still the ghostly Ru Yu standing next to her, and I stand behind Long Shuyi, not to hold an umbrella for her, but to protect Ru Yu's ignorant girl from the rain. β
"And then? You sue her, did she misunderstand? I asked in a low voice.
Tang Xiayi shook her head, "I can't speak, looking at such a warm gaze, I can't say anything, when I sent her home, the rain stopped, I gave her the umbrella, I told her that even if no one holds an umbrella for her in the future, please take care of herself, I said it tactfully, just to exonerate myself from her misunderstanding, but Long Shuyi misunderstood, she stood on tiptoe and kissed me." β
Why is it just a misunderstanding? I sighed softly, and heard Tang Xiayi continue: "But that scene was seen by Ru Yu, and it was nothing originally, but I didn't expect Lin Yue to really like Long Shuyi." β
"On the day of Lin Yue's graduation, Ru Yue decided to officially confess to Lin Yue, it was raining that day, and I drove Ru Yue to the university where Lin Yue studied, but as a result, I bumped into Lin Yue and Long Shuyi confessing."
Tang Xiayi stopped and stopped talking about the rest of the story, it seemed that he didn't want to mention the next qiΔ.
"There are only so many stories I can tell you, and the rest is really a memory that I want to cut from my life."
"So, what about the Irish coffee that Long Shuyi made for you? You haven't told me about this paragraph yet! I said.
Tang Xiayi's gaze returned to the cup of Irish coffee, the cream on the coffee had melted, leaving a thin white line on the quilt.
"I don't know if you've heard the story about the origin of Irish coffee, the bartender." Tang Xiayi asked.
I nodded, slightly impressed.
"Long Shuyi was working part-time in a cafΓ©, and she was preparing to take the barista certification at that time, you know? She was really talented, I was almost addicted to the coffee she made, and later, she made me a cup of Irish coffee there, and she said that she was going to make Irish coffee while she was testing her skills, and I believed it,...... That day, she smiled more than ever, obviously looking so happy and happy, but the coffee brewed, I couldn't help but want to shed tears, the coffee has a faint salty taste, I always thought that it was because she added salt, until she left, I didn't know that there should be her tears in the Irish coffee. β
I can afford goosebumps all over my body, why did Long Shuyi shed tears while making coffee? Did she know that Tang Xiayi liked Ru Yu at that time?
Imagining Long Shuyi's appearance when making Irish coffee, I couldn't help but feel distressed.
"But what about Lin Ke? You know she's genuine for you, what are you going to do? β
Lin Ke and Tang Xiayi, are they really suitable? Is it really possible for them to have a future? Tang Xiayi still likes Ru Yu, will he and Lin Ke have a future? (To be continued......)
