The coffee machine stopped ringing, the second the black coffee came out, the production area of the entire bar counter was filled with a strong coffee taste, and the smell was refreshing, Ke Yuhan touched the temperature, looked at the color, nodded with satisfaction, and picked up the latte art steel cup from the rear and began to prepare for the milk foam "hair".

Xu Xuanyue stared at Ke Yuhan's serious appearance and couldn't take her eyes back.

"It's five minutes, look at the thermometer." Ke Yuhan reminded with his back to her.

"Ahh Oh! Xu Xuanyue took out the thermometer clamped under her armpit, the silver-white markings loomed in the firelight, and she couldn't see clearly, Xu Xuanyue looked around and found that only Ke Yuhan was in the bar where there were bright lights, and the lights in other places were surprisingly dim, if she didn't have contact lenses, I was afraid that she would have to fall over.

"You're too economical, just turn on a few lights." Xu Xuanyue approached the bar barefoot, and the fluff on the carpet specially laid by Ke Yuhan scratched the soles of her little feet, so she jumped and walked, and the light was refracted into the thermometer.

"More than thirty degrees."

"Nonsense!" Ke Yuhan laughed: "Theoretically speaking, people who have not reached thirty degrees have fallen into the ground. ”

"Hey, you can't speak, you, I'm sick now, why can't I be gentle?" Xu Xuanyue rolled her eyes, but Ke Yuhan didn't see it.

Xu Xuanyue sat in front of the bar: "Thirty-seven degrees, eight." ”

"That's fine." Ke Yuhan turned around, there was already milk foam in the latte steel cup in his hand, and he calculated the dosage very accurately, it should only be enough for two cups. "Is your hair dry?"

Xu Xuanyue touched her hair: "It's okay, it was a lot warmer to sit at the fireplace just now." ”

"That's okay, if you have a low-grade fever, you don't need to take medicine, but it hurts your body, I'll get you a cool towel and spread it on your head, and then wrap a thicker quilt to drink hot water, and sweating should be fine."

Ke Yuhan knocked the steel cup on the table, and the large milk foam on the surface was shattered, and then he used a spoon to scratch off the scum on the surface, leaving only a dense milk foam, which looked thick and fragrant.

"I can't see that your skills are pretty good." Xu Xuanyue watched him do these actions in one go, under the bright light, Ke Yuhan's white shirt and hair were shining, looking clean and handsome, and then Xu Xuanyue found that he was not pure black hair, but a little brass.

Ke Yuhan smiled, and poured the beaten milk foam obliquely into the coffee to fully blend, and the color gradually changed from pure black to yellow and white. When the milk foam is half full, it is injected at the center point, and he swings his wrist from side to side, and he begins to swing latte art from side to side. Then pull your wrist to the side and pull the froth towards the bottom of the figure to close the cup. So the surface of the coffee takes on a pattern of hearts. In the same operation, he added two wheat motifs to the left and right sides of the heart, and used carved sticks to outline the wheat mangs.

Boys who can cook always have a charm, even more so when they look at the boy they like, Xu Xuanyue's two feet are dangling under the table, looking at Ke Yuhan with a happy face.

"Look at what I'm doing." Ke Yuhan smiled and brought the coffee over with a spoon: "Taste, I added three times the sugar." ”

After taking a bite, Xu Xuanyue clearly felt the flow of warmth in her body, and her stomach was warm, although the sweetness was a little too high, but this was exactly what she wanted.

"Wow!" Xu Xuanyue pointed to the cup and nodded, her face was full of surprise, she wanted to say some poems or idioms that fit this atmosphere, but her knowledge was mediocre, and she was stuck for a long time, but she still sighed: "Wow-"

Ke Yuhan began to make his own cup.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, how did you end up here?" Xu Xuanyue said.

"I'm here to help my uncle, my grandmother died of illness a few days ago, my mother cried home and said that she wanted to come here to mourn the elderly, because there are a lot of things to be busy in the future, so no one takes care of my uncle's shop, and I have nothing else to do with it, so I stayed here to show him the shop, and by the way, I learned coffee skills from other people in the store."

Ke Yuhan smiled and began to clean up the inside of the bar, and the two were like a young couple who had been at home for many years sorting out the dishes and chopsticks after dinner.

"Oh—that's it, mourning." Xu Xuanyue held the cup, and the warmth came from the palm of her hand.

Ke Yuhan nodded slightly, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"But that's not right." Xu Xuanyue frowned: "Why didn't you say goodbye to me when you left!" Xu Xuanyue originally wanted to add one more sentence: I'm worried about it. She thought about it and didn't add it to the end.

Placing the spoon on the rim of the cup, Ke Yuhan completed the final step and turned off the lights on the bar. He tasted it: "It's still a little sweet." He turned to look at Xu Xuanyue's big eyes that glared at him: "My phone was broken before I came, and I didn't think about staying so long before I came, I thought I would be able to go back in a week at most, but after I arrived, my uncle asked me to help look after the store, not to mention that I was in a hurry." ”

"Huh? Why is it that the version I listen to is different? Xu Xuanyue said.

"What's different?"

Xu Xuanyue crossed her legs, sat up straight, and her eyes were sharp: "Classmate Ke Yuhan, in response to your answer just now, I think there are a few things that are inappropriate, now I hope you can answer seriously!" ”

Xu Xuanyue stared at him like an interrogator, holding her fist against her chin.

"Okay." Ke Yuhan replied.

"Okay, then I'll start now." Xu Xuanyue said, she coughed. "Because you didn't say goodbye, I deliberately went to find someone who had seen you in a short period of time, and what I learned was: On July 11th, Zhou Junlan saw you in the library, and at that time you already knew that you were going to work for the summer. This is the first argument. ”

"Please continue." Ke Yuhan smiled and watched her imitate herself.

"On July 12th, Xun Ran and Xia Yuan saw you on basketball, and you were playing basketball and playing sports from 2 to 6 p.m., which means that you must have enough free time. This is the second argument. ”

"Well, I did go that day."

"Very good, then, on July 13th, Su Xin met you in the park, at that time there was a suitcase next to you, which contained half a box of books and half a box of clothes, if you came back soon, how could you go to great lengths to prepare these? This is the third argument. ”

Xu Xuanyue jumped up from the bench and pointed at Ke Yuhan with her hand like a sword: "So, to sum up, you are lying!" I knew I was going to be here early in the morning, but I deliberately didn't want to contact me! ”

"That's amazing." Ke Yuhan applauded: "Your reasoning ability has improved. ”

"Less sycophants! Tell me, why are you hiding it from me? ”

"I'm not hiding it from you."

"Still quibbling!"

"Not really." Ke Yuhan raised his hand as if surrendering: "What you said is indeed true, but it's a pity that it's a matter of time." He pointed to the calendar next to him: "Think about it, when did it start, you lost my news?" ”

Xu Xuanyue thought for a while: "I remember when I chatted with you and talked about the porridge and breakfast, you had no news." That one...... I think it was the beginning of July. ”

"That's right, at that time, I disappeared, and you didn't think about why they were still able to see me after almost a week?" Ke Yuhan tried his best to give Xu Xuanyue a hint.

Xu Xuanyue recalled that in terms of time, at the beginning of July, Ke Yuhan had no news, and after a period of time, starting on July 11, everyone saw him for three consecutive days, and then disappeared again......

"What do you mean...... You're back? ”

Ke Yuhan gave a thumbs up: "That's right, I have already left Yunhai City on July 6th, and the funeral will be held on the 7th." About 3 days later, my uncle and I offered to help, but my things were still at home. He said he could buy it, but I didn't think it was necessary, especially the books I brought, and the round-trip fare wasn't too expensive. He pointed to the small bookshelf on the table in front of Xu Xuanyue: "See, these are all mine." ”

"So you're back again...... So why don't you have time to go to the library to play basketball and not have time to message me? ”

"Yes." Ke Yuhan scratched his head: "Didn't you get the medicine bag I left for Zhou Junlan to give you?" ”

"Got it...... Oh......" Xu Xuanyue was stunned.

"That's fine, she told you right, how can you say that I am hiding it from you? Since someone has already contacted you, I don't need to message you anymore, not to mention that my phone is broken, and I haven't memorized your phone number. By the way, did you drink the medicine on time? ”

So the breakthrough point has always been on Zhou Junlan, just like a suspenseful detective movie that has seen the end, all the clues are gathered together and converged into the answer, and Xu Xuanyue, who suddenly realized, feels comfortable.

"Drink...... Drunk. Xu Xuanyue remembered that today was Monday, and she still forgot to drink the medicine, she didn't plan to tell Ke Yuhan about it, otherwise she would have to be scolded again.

"Got it?" Ke Yuhan asked.

Xu Xuanyue covered her forehead and nodded blankly.

Ke Yuhan walked out of the bar and saw Xu Xuanyue, who was swaying her calves, not even wearing shoes: "Why don't you wear shoes?" ”

"There's a blanket on the ground, and it's not cold." Xu Xuanyue walked to the sofa, put the coffee on the coffee table, and lay down on her back, the sofa softly dragging her waist.

The light from the flickering flames, like black leaves flying in the air, shone on Xu Xuanyue's body, looking a little ghostly. Xu Xuanyue closed her eyes and touched her forehead to rest.

After a while, his wrist was suddenly gently grasped and removed, and then a cold touch came from his forehead.

"Let's just put on a towel and lie down for a while." Ke Yuhan said. His face was very close to Xu Xuanyue, and his lips were rosy because he had just drunk coffee, and Xu Xuanyue had the urge to bite it.

Ke Yuhan covered Xu Xuanyue with a quilt, and he didn't know when he went to the back to get it. The quilt has no peculiar smell, and even has some fragrance, Xu Xuanyue can smell Ke Yuhan's smell remaining on the quilt, saying that it is a bit too manly, Xu Xuanyue only knows that this smell reassures herself, so she buried her head a little deeper.

"It doesn't seem to have stopped raining." Ke Yuhan sat on the sofa next to Xu Xuanyue and looked at the still pouring rain outside: "It seems that you should have to spend the night here tonight." ”
