Chapter 20 Maybe I'm drunk with sparkling water
"Hi, Coco! I'm coming! What do you think, so focused? Cong Rong pushed open the door of the café, walked in, and sat opposite Ye Keke, shaking his hand at Ye Keke, who was immersed in the music world with headphones.
"Oh, Cong Rong! You're here. I'm listening to music online with Shicheng, and I told him, you've arrived, I'm going offline first. After Ye Keke finished speaking, he handed the menu of the café to Cong Rong and said, "You see what you want to drink first."
"There's no hurry, you take your time." After Cong Rong finished speaking, she took the menu and began to look at it.
Soon, a waiter came over and helped Cong Rong order.
"You're so romantic, and you're listening to music online." Cong Rong said enviously and curiously.
"Well, yes, haha. The two of us used the mobile app "Grid Music" I told you last time to listen to it online. Ye Keke said as he pinched the Bose earphones in his hand and didn't put them on the table for a long time. The bright pink Bose headphones are particularly beautiful and eye-catching.
"These headphones are good, it's new from Bose, I can also consider buying one." Cong Rong said, and took the earphones in Ye Keke's hand and put them in his hands, intending to take a closer look.
"This was bought by Shicheng." Ye Keke looked at the pink earphones in Cong Rong's hand and said, with a hint of sweetness in his words.
"Then I guess there's a men's version of the headset of the same model." Cong Rong asked smartly.
"Yes, he bought it at the airport on the day I left Shanghai, one for me and one for him." Ye Keke said with a smile.
"You two! Even couples' headphones are used, which is quite fashionable. Cong Rong said jokingly.
"Cong Rong, let me tell you, in fact, it's the first time I've used couple's headphones! When I put on this headphone, if Shi Cheng also wears the headphones and listens to my music on the other side, it will give me the illusion that he is right next to me. It's pretty sweet to think about. Ha ha. Ye Keke said embarrassedly.
At this time, the sparkling water ordered by Cong Rong was delivered to the table by the waiter. She unscrewed the cap and poured a portion of the liquid into a clear glass filled with ice cubes and a slice of lemon. When the ice cube meets the sparkling water, it makes a stinging sound instantly, which makes people want to drink it. Cong Rong took a few quick sips with a straw, and a spicy sensation instantly rushed to the top of her head. She smiled contentedly, her eyes narrowed, and she remembered the satisfied expression on a man who had sipped sparkling water on a recent Sunday evening.
"That's how it feels!" Cong Rong muttered to herself.
"Huh? What does it feel like? Ye Keke looked at Cong Rong with a satisfied expression and asked curiously.
"Ah, nothing." Cong Rong came back to her senses and looked at Ye Keke. She paused, then said, "Coco, come with me to the dance studio this Sunday to learn how to dance!" ”
"Why do you suddenly want to learn to dance?" Ye Keke asked.
"It's nothing, I just happened to see a course recommended by Sydney Dance Company, and I suddenly wanted to learn modern dance." Cong Rong said casually, but mentally remembered a photo she just saw a few days ago.
This photograph is a camera capture of a beautiful dancer writhing in a graceful spin. When Cong Rong first saw the photo posted by Xiao Zhengyun in 2016 in the WeChat circle of friends, she was amazed by the delicate facial features and delicate shadow of the dancer in the photo. Since then, this beautiful figure has been lingering in Cong Rong's mind.
What were you like in 2016? Cong Rong is in Xiao Zhengyun's few WeChat circle of friends, except for finding this photo, there is no other trace to be found.
Since the last time she met Xiao Zhengyun in the gym, Cong Rong has never met him again. But she would occasionally hide in the corner alone in her spare moments, recalling the scene when she first met Xiao Zhengyun over and over again. In my mind, I reproduced his face and the way he spoke, recalling the fresh smell of being sun-soaked from his body at a certain moment of turn. Whenever Cong Rong is immersed in her intimate memories, this photo of a dancer will always flash in her mind at some point. Intuition told her that the appearance of the beautiful dancer in the photo was what Xiao Zhengyun's woman should look like.
"What do you want?" Ye Keke waved his hand at Cong Rong.
"Maybe I'm drinking sparkling water and getting drunk. Ha ha. Cong Rong was pulled back from her thoughts by Ye Keke, and she made a joke to hide her emotions.
"What are you planning on this Christmas?" Ye Keke asked Cong Rong.
"I don't have any plans, I should make good use of this vacation to stay at home quietly and take a break. What about you? Do you spend it with the schedule? Cong Rong asked.
"He's booked his plane ticket, and he'll be coming to Sydney for me on Christmas Eve." Ye Keke said, his face was full of excitement that he couldn't hide.
"What about your parents? The four of you don't want to spend Christmas together, do you? That's too fast, isn't it? Cong Rong said with some surprise.
"My parents are going to Stockholm in two days and will only be back in mid-January. They say they've spent too many summers of Christmas in Australia, and this year, they're going to a snowy place to experience a winter Christmas. I'm going to be in Sydney for two weeks, and my parents won't come back until he's gone, so I missed it perfectly. After Ye Keke finished speaking, he took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and stuck out his tongue mischievously to Cong Rong.
"I think your parents did it on purpose, knowing that the time was coming, they deliberately hid and disappeared." Cong Rong said jokingly.
"If you say that, the two of them did book their tickets a little suddenly. A few days after I told them that I was going to Sydney for Christmas, they suddenly announced that they were going to travel to Northern Europe during the Christmas season to see old friends they hadn't seen for a long time. Ye Keke should have taken Cong Rong's joke seriously, and after finishing speaking, he began to think about it seriously.
