London in late October is a bit cold, with temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius at night. Teng Xien wrapped the thin tweed coat on his body tightly and followed behind Fu Shiyu.

The night breeze blew on her face, strangely cold, but when she saw the tall figure walking in front, she instantly felt warm again.

Fu Shiyu gave her a very reassuring feeling.

He is a man who can make people feel safe.

The street is quiet, most of the shops are closed, except for a few 24-hour coffee shops or bars.

Fu Shiyu chose the closest coffee shop to the hotel, pushed the door with one hand, and let Teng Xien go first.

The two of them found a booth by the window and sat down.

The waiter came to order, Fu Shiyu ordered himself a cup of American, and then asked her, "What do you drink?" ”

"I'm ......," she whispered, a little shy, "milk ......"

Fu Shiyu ordered her a glass of warm milk.

In front of Fu Shiyu, who was drinking coffee, she felt that she was drinking milk a bit like a child, and after the waiter left, she explained with a red face: "I have an upset stomach today." ”

Fu Shiyu smiled: "Well, I can't drink coffee if my stomach is uncomfortable." ”

Seeing that he was willing to talk more, she thought he was in a good mood, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that you can't sleep with coffee at night?" ”

"I have work at night and need a pick-me-up."

"It's so hard, pay attention to rest."

"Okay."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

After a while, the waiter came over with coffee and milk.

She held the warm milk cup in both hands and drank it in small sips.

Fu Shiyu drank coffee, glanced at the passers-by outside the window, put down the cup, and looked at her: "I came out of you mainly to ask you, how is the child?" ”

"The son of the old king?"

"Hmm."

"I had a bone marrow transplant at the end of last month and am currently undergoing the first phase of chemotherapy."

Fu Shiyu nodded, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, looking at the girl sitting in front of him through the white mist with warm eyes.

"If you have any difficulties in applying for medical expenses in the future, please feel free to let me know." As he spoke, he took his wallet from his coat pocket, pulled out a space gray business card and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She took it with both hands and clutched the business card in her hand.

"You're welcome."

She hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to ask a question that had been curious for more than two months: "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Please."

"Why are you helping that kid?"

She didn't say everything, but he knew what she meant.

He smiled, his slender white hand stirring the coffee, and stared at her: "Because your attitude touched me." ”

Attitude?

She suddenly remembered how rude she had been to him that day, and she wanted to dig a hole in the ground on the spot.

It was something she had always been reluctant to face, but now that she mentioned it, she still wanted to apologize again.

"Mr. Fu, I'm really sorry that day, I shouldn't have said that about you, I'm really sorry!" She grabbed his business card, stood up, and bowed to him.

He laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous." ”

She pursed her lips and smiled, sat back in her seat, and bowed her head to drink the milk. When I put down the cup, the corners of my lips were stained with a little white milk.

His eyes darkened, he coughed lightly, and took a sip of his coffee.

The girl muttered apologetically, "I'm really embarrassed that I asked you if you didn't have a son that day." ”

After a few seconds of silence, he lowered his voice: "I really don't have a son. ”

She was stunned, and at this moment, her head seemed to be set on fire, and she blurted out: "Then do you have a girlfriend?" ”

“……”

Once again, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Teng Xien wants to bite off his tongue, and this time he really wants to bite it off!

His heart was beating violently and rhythmically, and his face was red, from his neck to the back of his ears, and then to his cheeks.

She wanted to die!

"Nope." He laughed, "What about you?" ”

She looked at him in surprise.

He doesn't have a girlfriend!

He's single!!

Teng Xien didn't want to die now, she wanted to dance in place!!

The girl bowed her head slightly, and her cheeks were red with baby fat, which really looked like delicious strawberries.

"I don't have ...... either"

A hint of playfulness flashed in the man's eyes: "How old are you this year?" ”

"Twenty-six up."

"I can't tell," he smiled meaninglessly, and asked casually, "how many years have you been a lawyer?" ”

She was a little embarrassed: "Three months ......"

He nodded knowingly.

Seeing that the atmosphere would return to silence, Teng Xien didn't want the conversation between the two to stop here tonight, and was also worried that he mistakenly thought that he was a waste material who had only passed the examination for N years, so he cheekily explained: "I went to the United States to study after graduating from graduate school, and I only came back in June this year, so my practice time is relatively short." ”

He asked, "JSD?" ”

"Hmm."

He smiled and glanced at his watch: "It's not too early, I'll send you back." ”

"Okay."

The man took out the wallet from the inner pocket of his coat, Teng Xien suddenly remembered that he should treat this cup of coffee, and hurriedly took out a small wallet: "Mr. Fu, I will invite you for coffee." ”

She was looking down for a banknote, and Fu Shiyu had already pulled out a pound and pressed it under the coffee cup.

After she found the money, she picked up his money and wanted to return it to him, but he smiled and blocked it back, "I'll let you ask for it next time." ”

It means that there will be a chance to meet next time.

She came back to her senses, and her face turned red again.

The two walked out of the café one after the other.

She's in front, he's behind. It didn't take him a few steps before he caught up with her, walked side by side with her, and deliberately slowed down to cooperate with her.

The two of them walked in the direction of the hotel for a while, and the late autumn evening breeze blew on their faces, prickly.

Teng Xien looked up at the starry sky and thought to himself, will tomorrow be a good day?

"How long are you going to stay in London?" Fu Shiyu asked.

Teng Xien came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I don't know, if things go well, go back early, if things don't go well, you may have to delay for a long time, what about you?" ”

"I'll have about three to five days."

When she heard this, she felt a little lost, and she held on to her spirit and said, "I hope I can go back soon!" ”

"Remember to invite me to coffee when you go back."

"Okay."

A smile welled up on her lips, and she was in a better mood again.

.

The café is only 500 meters away from the hotel, but Teng Xien feels that the two of them have gone for most of their lives. She even had the names of their children in mind.

She pursed her lips and smiled all the way, her cheeks flushed from shyness and excitement.

Fu Shiyu sent her back to her room.

The hallway of the housekeeping department is covered with a thick carpet and is very quiet.

Standing at the door of the room, she smiled at him with a red face: "I'm in, you don't work too late, rest early." ”

"Okay."

He looked down at her, and in the dim light, he made her see the gentle taste.

"If you still have a stomach discomfort at night, call me."

She blushed again, said a soft "um", and pointed to the door behind her: "Then I'm in?" ”

"Go ahead."

Before the door closed, she saw that his eyes were crooked, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled softly.

That night, Teng Sien had a dream.

In a seaside villa where you could hear the sound of the waves, on the large double bed, Fu Shiyu kissed her and hugged her very gently...... He had the scent of her fascination.

This dream was so real that when she woke up the next morning, she still remembered every inch of detail, remembered the taste of Fu Shiyu's lips, and remembered his hot chest.
