Chapter 39: The Whispering Inns (2)

"Fang Ruo, is this okay?" Xu Zhuoyuan saw that she didn't speak, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that she wouldn't like to drink this.

Fang Ruo muttered and nodded, "It's delicious, I've never tasted like this before, and the sweetness is also very good." ”

"That's good, haha, I specially added sugar to your note." Xu Zhuoyuan grinned, revealing a neat row of white teeth.

"Do you come here often? I haven't heard of you. Fang Ruo squinted at him.

"I know you want to know, it's a coincidence that I know this boss lady, I'll tell you about it."

Fang Ruo smiled calmly, sat up slightly and prepared to start listening to him tell the story.

His first acquaintance with the proprietress was last month, that day was Saturday, Xu Zhuoyuan made an appointment with his classmates to play basketball at three o'clock in the afternoon, because he got up early in the morning, after lunch, he felt a little tired, surrounded by sleepiness, dizzy and really couldn't open his eyes, he fell on the bed tired and prepared to take a nap for a while.

I originally planned to sleep for dozens of minutes, and then take the bus slowly and leisurely to meet my classmates after getting up. It may be that the drowsiness was too strong that day, he unconsciously slept for more than two hours, and when he woke up, he saw that the clock was already 2:45, and after getting up in a panic to clean up, he hurried to the agreed place.

At the moment, it is too late to take the bus, but he is not a person who likes to be late, after running to the side of the road, he began to stop the taxi, fortunately there are not many people out at this point, and after a while, a few taxis came, and he felt relieved after getting on the bus.

Sitting in the car, he began to tidy up his clothes, just now he ran too fast, and his clothes were random and a set of upper body, only then did he find that his T-shirt was worn backwards, and the pattern logo on the back was stupidly worn in front, he laughed self-deprecatingly twice, and was about to take off his clothes and put them on again.

Fortunately, the taxi driver is also a man, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about changing clothes in front of him. Two seconds later, Xu Zhuoyuan quickly redressed.

After some scrutiny, he realized that the laces on his feet were not fastened, and he leaned down and hooked his fingers on the laces, only to find a black leather wallet lying next to his feet.

Because he was stepping on a black carpet, the black wallet had blended into the carpet, so he didn't notice the wallet when he got into the car, and if he hadn't lowered his head to tie his shoes, he might not have noticed it until he got out of the car.

Xu Zhuoyuan picked up the wallet at his feet suspiciously, held it in his hand and began to look at it carefully. This wallet is not big, it is medium size, the leather texture of the wallet is very good, the leather surface is relatively soft to the touch, the wallet as a whole is more delicate, and it should be a lady's wallet.

Thinking that it should be someone else's lost wallet, maybe there is contact information left in it, and the owner can be contacted through this method.

So Xu Zhuoyuan opened his wallet curiously, and what caught his eye was a small inch photo in the transparent bag in the lower left corner, the photo was in color, but the whole was very old, and the edges of the photo were still a little worn and yellowed, in the photo was a man and a woman, sitting together on the reef pile, with a vast blue ocean behind them.

The girl wore two braids and a very simple and simple long skirt, and the boy also looked like a young man, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, which was very elegant and elegant.

The two looked a little restrained and didn't get very close, but they both smiled shyly, and they could feel the faint affection between them through the photos.

Xu Zhuoyuan looked at the rest of the wallet again, except for two bank cards and some cash change, there was no contact information such as phone number or address left in the wallet.

He then took the photo in his wallet and asked the taxi master about the situation, wondering if any of the people in the photo had taken his car, and the master shook his head after reading the photo, only saying that there were too many people in a day, and he couldn't remember it for a long time.

Xu Zhuoyuan looked at the wallet of the mobile phone helplessly, and after a moment of silence, he thought of something again, and suddenly reached out and took out the photo from the transparent pouch and flipped it to the back, as he expected, there were words on the back of the photo, and the top was written in black pen "2001.07.07 Take a photo with Yu Beihai." There is also a string of small pencil letters at the bottom, which are a few Arabic numerals, and the overall appearance is a string of phone numbers.

Xu Zhuoyuan was very happy, and finally had some clue in his mind, he thought that this wallet should be very important to the owner, because in addition to some basic survival things in the wallet, there is only this group photo, and the photo is placed in the wallet and carried on his body every day, which is enough to see its importance.

After getting out of the car, he first met up with his classmates, explained to them, and then walked to the small shop near the stadium, and after borrowing a landline from the shop owner, he began to call the phone number left on the back of the photo.

The phone was quickly connected, and a cheerful female voice came from the phone, after Xu Zhuoyuan briefly explained his intentions, the woman began to thank her on the phone after being amazed, she said that this wallet was very important to her, and she was willing to give Xu Zhuoyuan some money in return, as long as he was willing to return the wallet to himself.

Xu Zhuoyuan comforted her softly on the phone, and said that it was a trivial matter, but she didn't need any reciprocation for her efforts, and finally gave her the things, and after a few words, the two agreed to meet at the door of a large supermarket in the city center.

After Xu Zhuoyuan put down the phone, he returned to the court to explain to the classmates who played together, and several classmates who had always been good friends could understand after listening to it, Xu Zhuoyuan walked in the agreed direction after saying goodbye.

The agreed meeting place was not far from the court where he played today, and it was only about ten minutes on foot, because he was afraid that there would be many people waiting, Xu Zhuoyuan still accelerated the pace of his feet.

Xu Zhuoyuan has never liked to let others wait for him, he would rather wait for others himself, he is not used to waiting for others after arriving first, he always feels that it is not polite, he always likes to arrive first, and then wait for others to come, and he also feels that this is a matter of course in his heart.

Walking to the door of the store, he stopped to look at the people passing by, but did not notice anyone who was looking at him.

He looked around again, and suddenly a voice sounded from his body, "Hello, may I ask if you contacted me on the phone just now?" ”

Xu Zhuoyuan followed the sound and turned around, and saw a tall and thin woman standing in front of him, she was wearing a floral long dress, with a log-colored pendant belt on her waist, her hair was very long and black, and she wore a ponytail low behind her head, and the shoes she was wearing were also a pair of retro round-toe lace-up shoes.

She looks a lot like the woman in the photo, but the woman in the photo is younger, which should be what she looked like when she was younger.

"That's right, this wallet is yours." After Xu Zhuoyuan came back to his senses, he took out the black wallet from his pants pocket.

"Yes, this one is mine." The woman quickly reached out to take it, looked at the wallet in her hand with pity in her eyes, and opened the wallet to see that the photo was still intact, and her face was soothed.

"Thank you so much, this is a little bit of my heart, you must accept it." The woman smiled and took out an envelope from her bag, and stuffed it into Xu Zhuoyuan's hand as she spoke.

"I really don't need to, you're too polite, it's a trivial matter, I'm not sure if the phone number on the back can get through, so I'm trying to get in touch." Xu Zhuoyuan scratched his head shyly, and he was very happy and satisfied.

"The money is really not much, it's just a little bit of my heart, you must accept it." The woman still stubbornly stuffed the envelope into his hand, and the two of them pushed back and forth, looking really like relatives who pushed each other for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

The people passing by also looked at them with smiles, Xu Zhuoyuan really felt the hospitality, but he still didn't want to take her money, in his opinion, he did this completely because of his conscience, and never to get paid by others.

"Don't give me any money, just treat me to a drink." Xu Zhuoyuan frowned and pushed her outstretched hand, the woman was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Okay, otherwise, I'll take you to the store I opened and make you a drink myself." ”

"Do you own a drink shop?" Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her with some surprise.

"Yes, I have a small shop, you can go and sit with me, my store is quite close to here."

"Okay, then I'll go play with you." Xu Zhuoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to end their Tai Chi-style pushing and concession behavior just now.

The two of them have been chatting along the way, Xu Zhuoyuan felt that the woman in front of him had a classical temperament, which may be the reason why he was more than ten years older than himself, and he felt that she was more like a big sister in his heart.

Walking to the door of her storefront, he felt the same as Fang Ruo just now, he also felt that this store door was very small, and he was also surprised by the seclusion here, and after walking in, he found that the scene inside was another world.

Xu Zhuoyuan sat here for a while, and before leaving, the woman asked him to come to play next time, saying that they were destined to be people, Xu Zhuoyuan also felt that he could talk to her very well, and he got along like a big sister, and promised her that he would bring friends here to play next time.

Thinking in his heart, Fang Ruo must like such a comfortable place, this time he just took her here to play and share this place and this story with her.

After hearing this, Fang Ruo sighed deeply: "So that's the case, it's amazing." ”

Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her longing and ignorant appearance, and felt that his heart softened, "Yes, do you like it here?" ”

Fang Ruo looked at the beckoning cat placed in front of her, and was beckoning to her innocently at this time, "I like it very much, it's very good here", she raised the drink in her hand towards Xu Zhuoyuan, her face was full of comfort.

"Hehe, I knew you would like it, Fang Ruo, I just wanted to bring you." Xu Zhuoyuan whispered and looked at her with very sincere eyes.

Fang Ruo instantly felt that this was better than any thousand words of complicated love words, this was sincere, the simplest and most simple sincerity.
