The people who were originally communicating in a low voice around raised their heads and shifted their eyes to Li Shi, her kind of beauty that does not apply powder, but is engraved into the bones, always gives people a clean and comfortable feeling, even if you look at it for a long time, you will not get tired of it.

Li Shi also seemed to come to participate in the event, but she didn't sit down on my side unexpectedly, but bypassed my table and walked to the side of the two middle-aged people, until then I didn't know that the next one was about to leave because the time was up, waiting, our eyes naturally collided together, remembering the last time I peeked at her letters here, it was really embarrassing.

I thought that the embarrassing thing would end here, but I didn't expect that even more embarrassing things happened, Jiang Laiyue also participated in this event, she took the number plate and walked straight to Li Shi's side without squinting.

Jiang Laiyue subconsciously looked at Li Shi, then looked at his number plate, and then saw me sitting not far away, with a look of surprise on his face.

This kind of embarrassing scene can be put together, and I really admire this miraculous fate.

At this time, Jiang Laiyue smiled back at me and beckoned to me.

I got up and came to the two of them, squeezed out a smile and introduced them, I first said to Jiang Laiyue: "Today is a heart-to-heart talk event that gets together by fate, there are people at the ends of the world, but your world pattern seems to be smaller, I don't intervene much, you talk, I also sit and wait for my listener." ”

Li Shi stared at me for a long, long time, and finally asked softly, "This is your new boss, right?" ”

I smiled calmly and nodded, and I didn't want to get involved in their topic anymore, and the two of them began to hesitate for so long when they met, I must have inquired about each other in private, and I didn't need to make any unnecessary explanations at all.

After returning to my seat, I took advantage of my angle and kept looking at them with my eyes, Li Shi and Jiang Laiyue looked at each other, with the same indifferent expressions, but the same made me unable to understand what thoughts were hidden under their expressions, perhaps, between the same industry, there will be more topics that can be extended.

Jiang Laiyue spoke first and said, "Hello, we've met!" ”

After Li Shi responded to Jiang Laiyue's polite smile, she didn't say anything more after saying "I've seen", but the atmosphere was cold because of her indifference.

So, two people who had never known each other sat face to face, each silent, and each with his own thoughts......

At this time, I am not much better than them, and even more uncomfortable than them, at least they can sit in that year without worry, but I am a little confused about the future, after today's events, I am thinking about how reliable it is to get back the hostel through "Laiyue"? But I don't dare to over-ferment this kind of thought in my heart, because giving up the "Laiyue" company is not a thing for me to make an immediate decision, and giving up "Laiyue" means that I will give up everything I may have, as well as the opportunity to get the hostel back in the future...... It wasn't until this time that I realized that when my thoughts really conflicted with real life, it was so difficult to choose, perhaps, I was afraid because of this period of time, but the real life that I couldn't control made me feel even more uncomfortable, so I still had to make a forbearance after all, and everything was centered on the original goal.

Just when I was distracted, there was a disheveled man outside the door walking towards me, but I suddenly began to repulse, looking at the whole store, there is no table where men sit and chat with men, if fate really brings this bearded man in front of me, who is still wearing a thread jacket to me, this fate, this inspiration I would rather not.

Afraid of something, when everyone covered their noses to block the smell from his body, the man looked at the number plate with a dull gaze, and then planned to sit down opposite me, but unexpectedly he threw himself into the air, sat on the ground, and knocked off the glass vase with water on the table, and for a moment all kinds of emotions surged me off guard, it seems that this is not destined to be an afternoon where you can drink coffee and listen to stories.

Everyone turned their eyes one after another, so I became a focus that was not the focus, and even Li Shi and Jiang Laiyue temporarily gave up their silence and staring and looked at me.

The waiter quickly came to clean up, but I was a little impatient, pulled up the man who was still sitting on the ground and said, "Let's go, let's go out and talk, they have to clean this glass for a while." ”

The man came back to his senses, looked at the water stains on his pants, smiled apologetically, his face was full of desolation, and I suddenly lost my temper, of course, the suggestion to go out was entirely for him to avoid the condemning eyes of everyone.

……

In the shade of the café in a small garden, I leaned against the wall with a strange man, the cigarette was a letter of introduction, and when I asked him if he could smoke, he took the cigarette with both hands, then lit the cigarette with his back to the wind, and smoked it against the wind.

I don't have a desire to smoke. Look, in the smoke, I just looked at the strange man, he wrinkled his forehead, it seemed to be full of stories and vicissitudes, but according to my judgment, he should not be more than thirty-five years old, finally I put down the mustard in my heart, smiled and asked: "I was going to listen to the secret psychological activities in the girl's heart, but I didn't expect to meet a man with vicissitudes, my life is a little bitter!" ”

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "No matter how bitter you are, can you have my bitterness?" ”

I didn't accept the man's statement, and said: "Before the cigarette is finished, you can just say it here, just saved me two cups of coffee, of course, if your story can move me, I am still willing to pay for you." ”

He shook his head and smiled helplessly, stroked his sticky hair, and didn't care about my attitude, and said with a smile: "I wasn't like this before, and I became like this today half a year after she left me...... When I was separated from her, there was no special feeling, the process was very dull, but at the end, I hugged her, and then she disappeared into the sea of people. So for the rest of the day, I continued to work, travel, and be busy, and there was no difference from before. If there is a horse, I will still go for horseback riding; If I need to chop wood, I will also do it. Every day, she still faces the sea, waiting for the spring to be warm, and the flowers will still bloom, and indeed, in the end, the flowers bloom, but she never returns......"

The man's words silenced me, and I just smiled encouragingly and didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.

"Then one day, a few months later, I came home late at night after working overtime, the hallway was warmly lit, and as I climbed the stairs, I suddenly realized: I had broken up with her! At that moment, it was like a scorpion stung in the hand, as if someone had stabbed a dagger in your heart, and as if someone had beaten you hard in the back of the head, and my whole body froze there, maintaining a fixed posture. I still remember the day we broke up, I was wearing jeans and a striped T-shirt, she was wearing a black top, a red skirt, white heels, and a brown handbag, and I hugged her at about 11 o'clock, and it was the 8th. She said to me, "You're all right." I didn't say anything. ”

"Since you can't help it, why don't you try to keep it?"

The man shook his head helplessly, and continued to speak at his own pace: "Until she left, I collapsed down the wall of the stairs. I always thought that this situation was an exaggeration of the TV series, and I always thought that heartbreak was an adjective...... Five minutes later, I recovered and came home, and everything in the house remained the same as the day she moved out, as if she was still living here, slippers on the balcony, cosmetics in the bathroom, toothbrushes, fluffy balls for bathing, shower gel...... So, I lay down in my clothes, fell asleep in the chaos, and burst into tears......"

"So since then, you've never been in a new relationship, have you?"

"Someone asked me: Then if you have a new love, it won't hurt so much, right? But who knows? Four years later, I'm still single ......"

His fingers trembled and pinched the cigarette holder that he had already smoked, and refused to throw it away for a long time, and I took out the cigarette case again, but he refused on the grounds that smoking too much would hurt the body.

In the service industry, my personality has always been in control, and at this moment, my previous negative emotions have almost eased, so I proposed: "Your true story is worth my purchase of a cup of coffee for you, I guess it's almost cleaned, let's go in and sit down for a while!" ”

But the man didn't seem to be willing to talk to me about this, and after a silence, he said impatiently: "I don't care if it's coffee or not, just say something on my mind." ”

I don't question the authenticity of these words, because a person who values feelings must be light on material, but the goodbye of the person who was once in his heart is a stranger, and the person who tried his best to stay has long been holding someone else's hand. Over time, I learned to stop in moderation, to protect myself with the most clumsy means, to resist others from my own world, to be afraid of losing and being hurt, and to be afraid that my mind would eventually become empty. I chose to give up before I tried, and I let go before I tried my best, but the rest of my life is long, what will the person I love look like later?

Immediately afterwards, he said to me in a relaxed tone: "Please help me take this number plate and return it, I will go first, thank you stranger!" ”

I took the number plate in my hand and looked at it, only to find that his number was number 26, and it stands to reason that we were not randomly selected from each other, but that didn't stop me from shouting at him, "Brother, I still owe you a cup of coffee!" ”

He raised his arm with his back to me and waved, then turned back to look at me, and then turned around and continued to walk, and I looked at his back, and I could really feel that he cared about this feeling, sometimes, the gorgeous skin is not necessarily filled with a clean soul, and under the dirty appearance, it may be the purest faith......

……

Back in the store, Li Shi and Jiang Laiyue were still sitting dry, and the coffee that was brought to them was not even stirred with a spoon.

I asked for a cup of coffee and continued to wait for my real stranger to chat with friends, accompanied by the aroma of coffee overflowing, I thought: this is really a good afternoon!

took another sip of coffee, and then looked at Jiang Laiyue and Li Shi on the other side, I don't know how long I looked at it, and finally saw Jiang Laiyue look at his watch, then got up and picked up the bag, and walked out with a tired expression.

Li Shi was only a few steps away from Jiang Laiyue, and the two of them came out of the coffee shop one after the other, I was a little nervous and curious, so I immediately ran outside the coffee shop, and then bypassed Jiang Laiyue's line of sight, came to Li Shi, and asked her for the first time: "You really didn't talk a word within the specified time just now?" ”
