Chapter 52: Back Alley
After work, everyone clocked out and left work, and the ZMH company ended the day's excitement and became deserted. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Lanyin caught up with Lin Yu and asked Lin Yu to eat after work together.
After Lin Yu heard Shi Lanyin's invitation, he smiled happily, poked Shi Lanyin's face and said, "You really invited me to dinner, I was joking in the conference room just now, and I'm not hungry yet." ”
Shi Lanyin thought about it and replied: "If you are not hungry now, we can go to have coffee together, anyway, it is still very early" She had something to ask Lin Yu, so she had to find a way to make an appointment with Lin Yu no matter what.
I looked at my phone, and it was really early. Lin Yu agreed to Shi Lanyin's invitation, and the two planned to go to the Starbucks café near the square after discussion, Shi Lanyin was full of thoughts along the way, and repeatedly thought about what Lin Yu said to her in the morning, "Your face was originally like this"
"Lan Yin, you wait, you see what kind of store is in the alley, it looks very interesting" Lin Yu pulled Shi Lanyin, Shi Lanyin looked in the direction pointed by Lin Yu, and then walked into the alley with Lin Yu.
When I walked into the alley, I saw an ordinary house, but the door was dyed dark green, and there was an old-fashioned window with a white frame on the wall, and several pots of violets were placed on the edge of the window. There is a wreath of osmanthus hanging from the door, and a small golden bell in the middle. When I looked up, it was a yellow sign that said "Back Alley Cafe". Lin Yu was very curious, and La Shilanyin entered the "backward café".
In the past, I only knew that this was an old house, and I didn't pay much attention to it every time I passed by. It turns out that there is a café here, but how can it attract customers when it is opened in such a hidden place? Recently, there have been more and more unexpected things, and Shi Lanyin vomited in her heart.
After entering, I saw ten black wooden square tables placed in it, and the chairs were leather armchairs, all dark green. Under the orange light, it is impossible to tell whether the walls are white or yellow. Lin Yu picked a seat by the window and sat down, while Shi Lanyin continued to look at the café, and when she walked to the wall, she found that there was a spiral wooden staircase in the innermost part, leading to the attic. There is a small sign nailed to the handrail of the staircase that reads "Back Alley Dream".
"It's still very beautiful here, Lan Yin, come over quickly" Lin Yu said, Shi Lanyin originally planned to go upstairs, but after hearing Lin Yu's words, she dispelled her thoughts and walked to the counter to prepare to order.
"Two cups of cappuccino," Shi Lanyin said as he walked to the counter. The counter was chestnut colored, more than a meter high, and there was a young man who looked cold sitting inside, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he only raised his head slightly, and when he heard Lan Yin talking to him, he stood up and replied: "Hmm" and walked to the back to get busy.
After a while, the man came out, handed two cups of coffee to Shi Lanyin, and continued to sit at the counter and began to read the book, ignoring them. Shi Lanyin looked at the man's back, in this developed city, the service industry is always enthusiastic, and when he pushed the door, he showed two tiger teeth and grinned to greet the guests. It's rare to see a casual service attitude like this man.
Shi Lanyin walked up to Lin Yu with the coffee and handed it to Lin Yu, after Lin Yu took the coffee, he took the spoon and began to add sugar cubes, then gently shook a spoonful and blew, tasted it and said: "The coffee is delicious, Lanyin, you can taste it"
Shi Lanyin kept stirring the coffee with a stirring stick, and after hearing Lin Yu's words, she still spoke: "Lin Yu, has my face always been like this?" ”
"No" Lin Yu put down the coffee and said, Shi Lanyin was excited when she heard it, but before she could speak, Lin Yu changed her words and then said: "You look much better now than when you first came to the company for internship, maybe I'm used to it." But having said that, don't be angry. I also remembered that when I first saw you, I was really shocked by you, I heard that ZMH company has very high requirements for the appearance of employees, but because of you, it has been so long, everyone can see that you have strength, you are a powerful faction, as for appearance, Ranin technology is so developed, it is a big deal that you can have plastic surgery. Lin Yu looked at Shi Lanyin seriously, but Shi Lanyin lowered his head and continued to stir the coffee in his hand without speaking.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Lin Yu stood up and walked, and when he walked to the wall, he also saw the "Dream in the Back Alley" and went to the seat, pulled Shi Lanyin, and said expectantly, "Lanyin, Lanyin, let's go up and have a look" Shi Lanyin nodded and followed Lin Yu up to the second floor.
After going up to the second floor, I saw that the second floor was empty and there was no one. On the white wall, there is a calligraphy letter, on which is written: "Life is like a dream and an illusion, morning is like morning dew and twilight is like sun." All beings are obsessed with a thousand illusions, and they will never regret being trapped in the red dust" At this time, the young man who was below walked up and handed Shi Lanyin a wishing bottle with a wishing paper in it.
"This is a gift from our shop," said the man, who looked a little handsome. Shi Lanyin took the wishing bottle and did not speak. Lin Yu on the side quietly teased Shi Lanyin: "Why do you look depressed, you are not happy to receive gifts, I don't think there is, what happened to you?" ”
"It's okay, I'll go home first, goodbye Lin Yu" Shi Lanyin walked towards home with the drifting bottle, her pace became faster and faster, because at this moment, Shi Lanyin wanted to go home as soon as possible to prove something.
After Shi Lanyin returned home, she took out her mobile phone to broadcast a phone call, and after chatting for an hour. Shi Lanyin turned off the phone, then lay on the bed, crying uncontrollably.
Since she met Lin Yu in the café, she had an uneasy conjecture in her heart. In Lin Yu's memory, her appearance has always been this dinosaur face, does that mean that it is the same in other people's memories?
After thinking of this possibility, she called her best friend in college as soon as she got home, and at first she just chatted about her work in the company, and then Shi Lanyin inadvertently said that ZMH company has high requirements for appearance, and her best friend blurted out how did you get in, and then hurriedly explained.
And Shi Lanyin hung up the phone after hearing her best friend's words, because when she was in college, her best friend expressed her envy for Shi Lanyin's sweet appearance more than once, if her best friend said this, it would prove Shi Lanyin's conjecture, in everyone's memory, she has always been this dinosaur face.
Shi Lanyin was crying on the bed, and even for a moment, she had doubts about whether she had really always been like this, and the sweet appearance before and the bet called the Age of Seeing Faces were a dream?
She couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams, and Shi Lanyin, who cried more and more, slowly fell asleep, and what awaited her was an unknown tomorrow.
