Chapter 269: Love is fermenting
"Although the tea room is about to open, I still don't have much confidence in my tea art, so help me taste this cup of cloud tea."
Lin Qingrou carefully handed the teacup to Du Hongming, and when her hands inadvertently touched Du Hongming's fingers, she subconsciously immediately retracted it.
Du Hongming didn't care, took the teacup and tasted it carefully.
"Well, it's fragrant and mellow, and I think it's very delicious." Du Hongming said while showing a very enjoyable expression.
Seeing this, Lin Qingrou couldn't help sighing and said, "I know that you can't try anything here, because you can only say how good you are, how satisfied you are, and it's not impressive at all." ”
Du Hongming saw that Lin Qingrou was complaining a little about himself, so he immediately remedied: "What do you say, can't you tell the truth?" You should have confidence in yourself, isn't it easy for you? ”
Lin Qingrou glanced at Du Hongming and asked, "Are you sure that what you are telling is the truth, can you promise me?" ”
Du Hongming thought for a while, and immediately said: "In fact, the real truth is that the people who come here to drink tea are not necessarily tea lovers, many people want to come to borrow a quiet place, convenient to talk about business, sign orders, and entertain customers, not many people will really care about how high the quality of tea here is." ”
"So, even if you elevate the tea here to the point that these people can't understand and don't know how to enjoy it, it's really a bit in vain. Of course, your tea is really well brewed, and if Mr. Cai Li is here, he will definitely praise it endlessly. ”
Lin Qingrou was satisfied when she heard this, because she knew that Du Hongming was telling the truth this time. But since the teahouse has been opened, it is necessary to manage it well, Du Hongming's words are still relieved for himself, but Lin Qingrou will not relax his requirements for himself because of this.
"You really don't want to be grand about the opening day?" Du Hongming looked around at this time, as if to see if there was anything else he could help with.
Lin Qingrou shook her head and said: "I have discussed with Song Miao, and I still think it is better not to make too much fanfare, after all, we are running a tea room, and we don't need how to publicize it, and customers in need will naturally come to the door, not to mention that we don't have much money, and we don't want to spend it in that kind of place." ”
Du Hongming Du Hongming asked tentatively: "It seems that even if I say anything more, you will not agree to accept my help." ”
Lin Qingrou knew that Du Hongming had always wanted to help her from all aspects, and would definitely spare no effort. But she didn't want the president of the company to waste time and energy on her side all day, which would make her feel very unhappy.
So, Lin Qingrou jokingly said: "I have accepted your help, thank you for throwing away the garbage bag for me just now." ”
Du Hongming had no choice but to spread his hands, feeling that Lin Qingrou was really stubborn, but he also respected her wishes, after all, this was a very special woman to him, and he would still feel happy even if he was rejected.
After Lin Qingrou cleaned up everything here, Du Hongming raised his chin with his right hand and seriously looked at the tearoom in front of him, which had become delicate and elegant, with a very ancient charm.
After a long time, Du Hongming said: "Well, in my opinion, this place is already very distinctive, and it looks very comfortable, I believe it will be an excellent place to drink tea and chat here." ”
Lin Qingrou knew that because she did not spend a lot of money to renovate and design, the layout and decoration of the tea room relied on herself and Song Miao's careful decoration in the later stage.
Hearing Du Hongming's positive evaluation, Lin Qingrou felt that his words still had to be discounted, and later sounded more real. Of course, she knew it was the best she could do so far.
"After you are busy here, do you have any arrangements next" Du Hongming actually came to Yolin Qingrou today, but as soon as he arrived here, he saw that she was cleaning up seriously, so he endured it until now before he spoke.
Lin Qingrou thought for a moment and said, "There are no special arrangements, I originally wanted to go to the mall to buy some items that need to be used here." ”
"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner after shopping." Du Hongming said immediately when he heard it.
"Hurry up and get your bag out and get in the car." seemed to be worried that Lin Qingrou would find some reason to refuse, so after Du Hongming said a word, he took the lead in walking back to the car alone.
Lin Qingrou also had no choice but to take his belongings and go out as he said. For Du Hongming, his love is constantly fermenting, and this long-lost emotion in him will generate incomparably huge energy once it bursts out.
Love makes him energetic and full of enthusiasm, and he gradually finds his original self, a person who not only knows how to live a sinking life, but also a person who rekindles hope for the future life.
Lin Qingrou was not aware of this enough, she didn't know that she had quietly occupied a very important position in Du Hongming's life, and changed this man's attitude and habits towards life.
For Lin Qingrou, Du Hongming is still a friend she trusts, a reliable arm who can always encourage her by her side, help her, and resolutely protect her when necessary.
But she also gradually found that this feeling has become a little blurred, Du Hongming is not just a friend of his, but Lin Qingrou is very clearly aware that she herself has not thought of crossing this line.
It's just that in the process of getting along with Du Hongming, I gradually became more natural and relaxed, and when chatting with him, I would seem more lively, and even a little naughty at times.
This seemed to be some kind of signal, but Lin Qingrou didn't dare to imagine too much. Because the imagination space in this is a little too crazy, she is not ready to deal with such crazy thoughts.
Lin Qingrou took Du Hongming to a large shopping mall, this place was a little unfamiliar to Du Hongming, or it could be said that it was the first time he came to such a place. Because this is a cheap shopping mall, the price of everything sold is much lower than other places.
Lin Qingrou accidentally discovered this place when she was shopping with Song Miao, and then fell in love with such a money-saving holy place, for them, every time they visit this mall, it is as happy as making money for themselves.
Du Hongming didn't quite understand the joyful expression on Lin Qingrou's face, so he asked, "As for being so happy?" Or is shopping a pleasure for every woman? ”
Lin Qingrou replied while comparing the prices of the two sets of fruit bowls in front of her: "I think it should be like this, but didn't you find that the prices here are indeed much cheaper?" ”
Having said this, Lin Qingrou smiled again, because she realized that for a person with a net worth like Du Hongming, she would not care if a product was cheaper for so many yuan. Does that make any difference to him?
Du Hongming studied the things here seriously, he picked up a few cups or cutlery with all his thoughts, and stared at the price marked on it for a long time. Lin Qingrou looked at Du Hongming's frowning appearance, and felt a little cute.
"Mr. Du, don't bother with this, to be honest, you don't have any concept of price at all, right?" Lin Qingrou watched Du Hongming expose the truth.
Du Hongming smiled slightly embarrassedly and began to justify: "Actually, it's not that I never care about the price, it's just that I have lived for a long time, so I naturally ignore the details of this kind of life, and I always feel that I don't spend a lot of money if I eat and drink alone." ”
Hearing Du Hongming say this, Lin Qingrou realized that Du Hongming has lived alone for so many years, and now that she thinks about it, this is not something that can make people feel happy, to be precise, she should feel a little sad.
This reminded Lin Qingrou of the days when she lived alone abroad before, and at the beginning she was also very uncomfortable with the loneliness of being in a foreign country, and that sense of loneliness and insecurity can sometimes really swallow up the whole person.
Lin Qingrou took off a cup, feeling that its shape and eye color are very special and exquisite, and the pattern on the cup is depicting a snowy scene on Christmas Eve, which looks warm. So, Lin Qingrou liked it, and after thinking about it, she put the cup in the shopping cart.
"This cup is really special, I'll give it to you." Lin Qingrou said to Du Hongming.
Du Hongming looked at Lin Qingrou's cup, pointed to the shelf, and said, "This seems to be a pair." ”
Lin Qingrou looked in the direction that Du Hongming was pointing, and it was indeed a pair. The one she took down just now was on a green background, and the one Du Zeming took down now was on a red background.
"The combination of red and green does look good." Du Hongming looked at the cup in his hand and said.
Lin Qingrou took the two cups together in her hand, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and once anything came into pairs, it seemed to make people feel even happier. She put both cups in her cart as she found out that this was the last pair.
"I'll give you both cups, I hope good things come together." Lin Qingrou said with a smile.
Du Hongming was a little embarrassed, and then asked: "But there seems to be no pairs of things in my house except socks, so a pair of cups suddenly appears, sometimes I think there is another person in the family?" ”
Lin Qingrou frowned, and said in her heart how could Du Hongming think of such a strange question, and then said to him: "Then you can use one in the morning and the other in the evening." ”
