Chapter 5 A Cup of Afternoon Tea
On a typhoon day, it's like a child who never grows up.
I was happy a second ago, but suddenly my face was gloomy and I started crying.
The pedestrians on the road were embarrassed to avoid this sudden rainstorm.
Patting the rain off her clothes, Bai Jiayi put away her umbrella and handed it to the waiter who came to greet her.
After a brief conversation, she sat down on the booth by the window.
This is the location reserved by Tao Xuyang for the party a few days ago, this place happens to be in the Xicheng Central Business District, adjacent to the key enterprises of several major business giants, whether it is day or night, the scenery here is just right.
Bai Jiayi bit the straw and played with her mobile phone.
In the WeChat group, everyone is discussing the weather, some people complain that the heavy rain is blocked on the highway, some people are complaining that they forgot to take an umbrella when they go out, and others, such as Bai Jiayi's sister, are busy talking about love with work.
Bai Jiayi sighed, she knew that no one would show up on time like herself, even on a rainy day.
With her finger sliding the phone screen, Bai Jiayi caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her, as if someone had arrived.
She raised her eyebrows, no longer biting the straw, but sucked away the last sip of milk tea vigorously, and said to the waiter, "Please refill the cup." Then, as if he hadn't seen anyone, he turned to look out the window.
Because of this strange rainy day, the number of people in the coffee shop increased dramatically.
It was precisely because of his deliberate actions that the other party took a step forward to see Bai Jiayi's dress today.
A floral one-shouldered three-quarter-sleeved top, paired with an indigo knee-length skirt, and a small silk hair ring on the head tied up the brown curls, it is not difficult to find that he is a gentle and kind teacher.
The man walked in and said hello to Bai Jiayi: "Hello, I'm Cui Zifeng." ”
Bai Jiayi looked the other party up and down, shoulder-length curly hair, slender willow eyebrows, and clear eyes.
Loose fake two-piece blouse, the white clothes on the surface were deliberately torn open with a few cracks, so that the black and red totem lining inside was exposed, if it weren't for the unique male facial contour features and the obvious Adam's apple, Bai Jiayi almost felt that the other party was a gypsy girl returning from overseas.
It's no wonder that he wears a variety of outfits, in line with the traditional gypsies.
"Gypsies?"
“…… Well. Cui Zifeng was uncomfortable by Bai Jiayi, nodded weakly, he slowly moved his body and sat in a corner of the booth.
"Uh...... Okay, that, my name is Bai Jiayi. Bai Jiayi was shocked by Cui Zifeng's actions, and asked herself in her heart if she was so terrible that she could scare people to hide in the corner, like a frightened cat.
"Kaede-chan!" Before Bai Jiayi could ask Cui Zifeng what he needed to drink, a man came over and skillfully handed him a cup of hot chocolate.
The man sat opposite Bai Jiayi generously, and said to Bai Jiayi coldly: "I am Huo Ziting." Ignoring Bai Jiayi's existence, he chatted with Cui Zifeng.
The content is nothing more than that the clothes at home have been put away because of the rainy day, what do you want to eat at noon tomorrow, and where will you go to activities the day after tomorrow, so Bai Jiayi couldn't help but ask curiously: "You two, live together?" ”
Huo Ziting just glanced at Bai Jiayi and didn't speak.
Cui Zifeng smiled embarrassedly and nodded.
Probably because Huo Ziting was here, he also had a little confidence, and talked to Bai Jiayi softly.
It turned out that Cui Zifeng and Huo Ziting were both orphans of the Yves Saint Laurent orphanage, and since they grew up and came out to work, they left the orphanage and moved outside to live together.
Cui Zifeng's mother is a gypsy, so she has inherited a lot of gypsy genes.
Compared with Huo Ziting, he was not cowardly in the past, but he lacked a sense of security, and for people in the outside world, he was a little afraid of life.
Once because of this fear of life, he was treated a lot unfairly, and almost suffered from severe depression, but fortunately, with Huo Ziting, he gradually adapted a lot.
Bai Jiayi felt a little sorry when she heard this, she smiled and asked Cui Zifeng not to care too much about the past, and began to talk to Cui Zifeng about the plan for the poor trip.
This party, firstly, I want to see old friends I haven't seen for so many years, and secondly, I want to take the opportunity of offline foundation to get acquainted with it.
"It's going to be very lively." Cui Zifeng smiled, he pulled the cuffs of Huo Ziting, and said, "In this way, Ziting, you can meet more friends." ”
“…… I don't need friends, I just want you, Kaede. ”
“…… What ...... said" Bai Jiayi listened, goosebumps appeared on her arm, and she shouted in her heart, friend, there is ambiguity in your words!
"By the way, anyway, everyone is still in the future, why don't we play a game?" Cui Zifeng took out a box of tarot cards from Huo Ziting's backpack.
"Tarot? Playing divination? Bai Jiayi smiled, she didn't believe in these ghosts and gods numerology, she just looked at Cui Zifeng's expectant look, and she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to put her hand into the shuffled card and prepare to draw one.
"Ah, wait." As if afraid that Bai Jiayi would see through that she was not ready, Cui Zifeng held the card with both hands and said to her, "Don't worry." Tarot divination is all about sincerity, you first close your eyes and think about the problem in your heart, repeat it three times, and then open your eyes to choose cards. ”
"Mysterious, well, I'll listen to you." Bai Jiayi withdrew her hand and smiled, what was the question in her heart, in fact, she had the answer a long time ago.
She likes Tao Xuyang, not because he is his sister's boyfriend.
At the commercial banquet, in fact, not only Bai Minyi, but even himself fell in love with Tao Xuyang at first sight.
It's just that fate is such a child's play, and the reunion after the banquet was when Tao Xuyang came to the house to confess to Bai Min.
What exactly she missed, she couldn't figure it out, because something she missed is missing, and what's the point of clinging to the past?
She just wants to see Tao Xuyang every day, silently loves this brother-in-law, and thinks about him.
When she came back to her senses, the tarot cards in her hand looked vicious, and the words underneath were all too familiar to her, the devil.
So, does this imply that he is a greedy devil?
"Show me." Seeing Bai Jiayi looking at the tarot cards, Cui Zifeng took the cards, turned over the cards, and smiled, "This is a demon, it represents temptation, and it can also be said to represent a mistake." Bai Jiayi covered the rim of the cup with both hands and nodded with a smile.
Of course, she knew what the devil represented in the tarot, and she hadn't played it at all, at least when she talked to the students at school.
"However, when you took it out, the direction was reversed. This is what we often call reversal. The devil is reversed, it means that things are going in a good direction, you just need to communicate well with the other party, show your heart, and I believe that there will be better between you. ”
"Oh? Really? Bai Jiayi raised her eyebrows, as if she had suddenly figured out something.
Her actions were mistaken by Cui Zifeng for not believing in her judgment, so she had to purse her mouth and not speak, and at the same time put away the tarot cards and put them back in Huo Ziting's backpack.
Bai Jiayi patted the back of Cui Zifeng's hand, like a face that had benefited a lot, and said, "Thank you." ”
Then, the two of them refilled a simple afternoon tea and waited for the follow-up guests.
