Chapter 285: Relationships
The light rain continued, and the small garden decorated outside the café on the side of the CBD road held a parasol, and the porcelain white tableware on the small white round table under the umbrella floated with some wind-blown rainwater, and the wet irregular water flakes on the whole table reflected the gardenia in a corner of the garden, and the white petals swayed in the raindrops to shake off the fragrance of the flowers in the gust of rain blown by the gust of wind.
Lin Nian didn't know why girls always liked to meet in coffee shops.
Brown German beer bottles are placed on wooden stools outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, three or two well-built potted plants are placed in front of the store in the deep garden, and a wooden sign hanging on the door is hung on the door, and through the door glass, you can see the landlady at the front desk carefully wiping the coffee cups on the shelves.
He actually doesn't really like a place like a coffee shop full of petty bourgeoisie, not because of the decoration and atmosphere, but because of the price, where a glass of Sprite with lemon and ice cubes usually costs thirty yuan... He doesn't often go to these places and doesn't understand that thirty yuan is not Sprite money, but the unspoken rule of buying a seat, so he always has a feeling that he has been charged an IQ tax, which makes him indifferent to places like coffee shops.
But Su Xiaoqiao doesn't look like the owner of the money, she never cared about these things outside her body when she was in high school, just forget it, there will be a five-layer super cake sent to the class on her birthday, and she has to pull Lin Nian to cut it together, if it weren't for Lin Nian's unwillingness, maybe the candles would have to be blown with him, and each classmate would have a free family bucket after the cake, so arrogant that people couldn't speak because their mouths were already stuffed with chicken legs and chicken wings.
Before he walked into the door of the café, Lin Nian saw the girl through the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the small garden, and was sitting by the window at this time writing 'person' in the palm of his hand and swallowing it in his mouth, he looked at this scene a little stunned, and didn't understand what the girl was doing... When he was in a daze, the little goddess behind the glass window also caught a glimpse of him, and at this time she was swallowing the 'person' written in her hand into her mouth, and she was a little embarrassed for a while... Even choked on a cough?
"......" Lin Nianban raised his hand to say hello, and walked to the glass door of the coffee shop, and the little heavenly girl in the seat immediately lay on the table after seeing the boy disappear, and let out a super low depressed scream.
Push open the door of the store and blow the bell in the corner, there is no welcome, only the waiter and the boss nodded slightly, this kind of pick-up spirit is polite and enthusiastic, Lin Nian doesn't hate it, in the space divided by the bookshelf and the cat climbing frame, he found the position where Su Xiaoqiao was sitting by the window.
Today's little goddess is wearing a gray Dior dress, only one side of the slanted shoulder dress is exposed, and most of her fair skin is exposed, with a decorative bracelet on her wrist, and her sense of maturity looks too much beyond her age - there are many clothes that have actually been hidden in Su Xiaoqiao's wardrobe early on, but because it is not easy to wear to school, she can only wear them when shopping in private, and today's occasion is more suitable for her to dress boldly and movingly.
Lin Nian didn't know if praising an 18-year-old girl for having a 22-year-old beauty was considered a straight man's speech, but he was very smart and knew that some words might be wrong, so it was better not to say them, or abbreviated and only took the most offending part of it: "This dress is beautiful on you." ”
"Really?" The little goddess who was originally a little embarrassed because she was accidentally discovered because of the small action of swallowing human characters, her mood suddenly flew after Lin Nian's words came out, and she felt that the sense of haste that she couldn't eliminate after spending two hours of time dressing up today disappeared completely with this sentence.
Lin Nian took off his windbreaker when he entered the door, and there was only a white shirt on his body, and because of the windbreaker, the collar of the shirt was opened a few buttons to dissipate heat and expose a little collarbone, and the little goddess's eyes would always be involuntarily attracted to it, and she was worried that it would look too weird, so she stared down at the empty table in front of her.
"Cappuccino, thank you." The waiter handed over the menu, Lin Nian made a decision after flipping it twice, and then handed the menu to the little goddess's sight.
"Just like him." Xiao Tiannu raised her head after adjusting her mentality, and immediately met Lin Nian's serious gaze, the anti-embarrassing topic notes that she had made in her head when she set off before were suddenly wet, and she couldn't think of anything as soon as she sat in front of her, her head was buzzing, and she only felt that this scene was very good now, and she liked it very much, and she wanted to maintain it forever.
The two sat opposite each other for dozens of seconds, no one spoke, the rain outside the window cut silver wires on the glass, the water droplets kept crawling down on the glass, the winding trajectory and the speed of the fast and slow times were like cat paws scratching in the heart, making people tickle, as soon as the rain came up, it was a hundred cat paws scratching together, making people completely quiet and unable to sit still.
"Let's sit down and rest for a while before we get down to business, it's actually not the agreed time yet, and you have to be in a hurry to come out early." Lin Nian said.
"Don't say anything... Doesn't it seem weird? The little goddess whispered, fortunately it was morning in the light rain today, and there was no one in the coffee beans, except for the waiter, only the young girl with the piano in the corner, playing a classical piano piece called "Caresse", which was very lyrical, and if you knew the original meaning of its title, it would probably be more lyrical.
"The most comfortable relationship between people and people is not talking all the time." Lin Nian said, "Instead, you can never speak, or you can talk all the time." ”
Su Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was on her knees and clenched her fists slowly loosened, and she couldn't help but laugh suddenly, Lin Nian didn't ask her what she was laughing at, but leaned her elbows on the wooden striped table and gently supported her cheekbones and looked at her sideways.
"I took notes before I came." Su Xiaoqiao laughed for a while before saying.
"Notes?"
"I'm scared and embarrassed not to know what to say when I drink." Su Xiaoqiao said, "I used to talk to those friends about the details of their dates, and the most often mentioned thunder was this. ”
"Why do you feel embarrassed?" Lin Nian looked out the window at the dripping garden, "I thought the most important thing about dating was for two people to be together, not what to do together, even if they didn't do anything, wouldn't it be good to sit together and drink something for an afternoon?" ”
Su Xiaoqiao's breath trembled, and her breathing became unstable, she knew that Lin Nian was just talking about her own opinions, and there was not much metaphor... But she still couldn't help throbbing for a moment, and then she realized that the boy sitting opposite her was never an idiot about emotions, but simply that his concept was contrary to too many people, or that the starting point was too high, and few people understood his concept.
The two drinks were served by the waiter, and for their sake the café revolved almost exclusively around them, and even the piano changed from lyrical to more lyrical.
This is probably the most peculiar and happiest coffee Su Xiaoqiao has ever drunk, if she was usually with other girls, her family would have already started talking, but the two of them sat for a long time, didn't say anything, just drank something, looked at the garden in the rain outside the window, occasionally glanced at each other through the refraction of the window, and found that the other party was also looking at themselves... She just laughed, and she didn't have to say anything, and the other party wouldn't say anything.
This process lasted for a long time, although it wasn't that long, it was just a cup of coffee, both of them had finished drinking, their whole bodies were warm, and the original tension when they looked at each other again had long since disappeared... Probably this is the first step in controlling the relationship with the boy opposite?
Su Xiaoqiao didn't know, but she only knew that she was too far ahead of the girls who had been on the starting line with her, at least no one had the honor to have a good drink with this 'isolated' boy, and listened to him say so many things that he never shared with others.
"Let's get down to business now." Lin Nian said, "Did you get any results from the things I troubled you to check?" ”
"Uh-oh." Su Xiaoqiao woke up like a dream, and the strings of roses and roses that grew around the boy also disappeared with her waking up... She finally returned to reality from the perspective of a girl's manga.,No wonder girls always like to draw so many flowers and plants around boys.,It's not that boys carry a lot of flower fertilizer with them.,But in the eyes of girls, no matter how you look at the boys you like.,There will really always be flowers around them.。
But once she returned to business, Xiao Tiannu found that Lin Nian's temperament and emotions had changed, from the initial gentleness and calmness to the iron hardness that glowed with cold light like metal, and the body sitting in front of the coffee table was straight, and the rationality and calmness rising in her eyes eliminated all the charming colors.
The little goddess made up her mind while holding the documents on the side... In the future, I really tricked this boy into bed, and I must not let him do any work, although the serious man who does the right thing is very handsome, but Lin Nian's one, even if you are entangled with interest, will probably be backhanded and pressed to the ground by a throat lock and let you wait for him to finish his work and then go to him... Immediately full of interest.
"Chu Tianjiao, I asked people to check this name... Doesn't seem like an important person, right? The little goddess took a blue folder and put it on the table and pushed it to Lin Nian.
"If I ask you to check Lu Tianming, will the speed of getting information be much slower?"
"Lunch will probably have to be postponed until the evening." Su Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, "Lu Tianming refers to our local entrepreneur who does foreign trade, right?" Our family seems to have cooperated with them, and there are too many things to investigate him, and it may not be completely sorted out for a while. ”
"In other words, the amount of intelligence of the latter is dozens or even a hundred times that of the former, which is why it is so difficult to investigate, but Chu Tianjiao's intelligence is less than a limit, and it will be investigated and sorted into documents within a few hours." Lin Nian took the blue folder and said.
Su Xiaoqiao was also stunned for a moment, because what Lin Nian said seemed to be the truth, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be saying nonsense, after all, how could a lonely and unknown resume be compared with everything of a big entrepreneur? Perhaps the latter's list of mistresses stacked together would be an inch higher than the life of a nobody.
"Have you seen these files?" Lin Nian took the folder, and the first document he saw after opening it was an application letter, with Chu Tianjiao's name clearly written in the place of his name, and a one-inch photo of a middle-aged man with a big back combed on the side.
"I've seen some curious, but there's nothing to look at." Su Xiaoqiao said truthfully.
"Indeed... Nothing spectacular. Lin Nian read Chu Tianjiao's information and whispered, "... But it is precisely because of this ordinariness that he stands out to me. ”
An 'S' class, who has been driving for decades in this coastal city, has become a no-nonsense driver?
Judging from another 'S' class a few years later, it was nothing short of impressive.
