Chapter 51: The Man in the Raincoat
Cheng Yang was stunned, watching Chen Xinmeng deliberately dodge his gaze, pretending to be driving seriously, and wanted to laugh, and then said, "You're really inviting me, right?" β
Chen Xinmeng's face flushed at this time, and she didn't answer. Cheng Yang didn't make much fun when he saw the situation, it was not good to tease her too much. It didn't take long for the two of them to get downstairs, Cheng Yang got out of the car first and said, "You go and park, I'll go get us some drinks first." β
Chen Xinmeng nodded, and then drove to the garage. The flower shop opened by Chen Xinmeng is still closed, open 24 hours a day, and the flower shop does not only sell flowers inside, so you can order whenever you go in. Cheng Yang sat in a corner by the window, and then said to the waiter: "I'll have a cappuccino, thank you." In other words, what does your boss usually like to drink? β
"Mocha."
"It's really a girl, then let's have another glass of mocha."
The nightlife in the central city is extremely rich. Although the suburbs are deserted, many people can still be seen in the city in the second half of the night. At this time, there were still couples hanging out on the street, looking at the people outside, Cheng Yang couldn't help but think of himself three years ago.
If that hadn't happened, maybe I would have been shopping here with You Siyue now.
Thinking of this, Yang shook his head violently, and then smiled bitterly.
"Hello, you ordered a cappuccino!"
Cheng Yang was just about to say thank you, but suddenly felt that the voice was so familiar, and when he looked back, it was Chen Xinmeng standing next to the table with a cup of coffee and some snacks.
"Where's your coffee, are they ready?" Cheng Yang flashed his arm so that Chen Xinmeng could put things down.
"They'll bring it to me in a moment, and I'll bring you your share first."
"Thank you, why bother you so much."
Then the two sat facing each other, and Cheng Yang picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Hmm. Good tea. β
Hearing Cheng Yang's joke, Chen Xinmeng almost squirted out the cake she had just eaten in her mouth.
"Now, what were you just looking out the window and thinking?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just a reminiscence."
Cheng Yang also reached out and took a cookie, the baker in this flower shop is really good, after all, Chen Xinmeng opened the flower shop out of interest, and he is not bad for money, he can use good materials regardless of the cost, and hire excellent chefs to sit here.
"I guess, you must have looked out in pairs at the time, thinking of you and You Siyue back then."
"Where, how could I ......?"
"I don't need to explain, I can read your mind, and I know that you have no love for her anymore. But even so, you can't forget her so easily. β
"Alas......"
"I think it's actually normal and I don't mind. The nature of men is hard to change at any time. β
Perhaps because he found that his words just now were a little too ambiguous, just like the words of a jealous girlfriend, Chen Xinmeng's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head to look out the window.
After all, although she is a fiancΓ©e, she still hopes that there can be a normal start between the two people, such as verbally confirming the relationship and the like. It hasn't developed to that point yet, so it's naturally inconvenient to say that kind of thing. Thinking so in her heart, Chen Xinmeng couldn't help but feel annoyed at her anxiousness just now, and actually looked outside and was stunned.
"We did stay late today." After a while, Cheng Yang was the first to break the silence.
"yes, but I'm not sleepy yet, what about you? You're not going to sit here for the night, are you? β
"I don't know, it depends on the mood. After all, the city also found a car back at night. Cheng Yang picked up the coffee and drank a layer of milk foam.
Hearing that Cheng Yang didn't mean to stay overnight, Chen Xinmeng felt a little disappointed, and she herself was surprised that she had such an idea.
After Chen Xinmeng responded simply, the two of them sat like this without speaking. During this period, Cheng Yang ate all the snacks on the table, after all, it was the second half of the night, and his stomach couldn't help but be a little hungry. I don't know how long I sat down, Chen Xinmeng had fallen asleep on the table, and after Cheng Yang noticed it, he smiled to himself and patted her gently. Chen Xinmeng didn't react, obviously already asleep.
Chen Xinmeng was also tired for a day, and if she stayed up so late, her body must have been in a state of hard support. Cheng Yang waved his hand to the waiter and motioned for him to come over, and whispered, "Don't accept the things first, I'll come down in a while!" β
The waiter nodded, Cheng Yang gently picked up Chen Xinmeng, took the elevator to the upstairs, put Chen Xinmeng on the bed and covered the quilt before leaving. Looking at the lovely sleeping face of the person in front of him, Cheng Yang inexplicably felt relieved. After returning to the bottom, Cheng Yang sat in his original position again, it was close to the early hours of the morning, it was raining outside, and there was no one on the street.
At this time, the door opened, and a man in a raincoat walked in, looked around, and walked directly after finding Cheng Yang.
Coming to Cheng Yang's side, the man in the raincoat took off the raincoat and put it on the stool on the side, and then sat opposite Cheng Yang.
"I've got something here that might be of interest to you."
Cheng Yang didn't speak, just stared at this and that man. The man didn't care, then took a few pictures from inside his clothes and put them on the table, and continued, "That's all, I'm sure you'll be interested. β
Looking at the photo on the table, Cheng Yang took a sip of fresh coffee and said, "Who are you?" β
"An idler. How about making a deal? β
"Let's talk about your conditions first, but don't go too far, I'm sure you should know what price I can accept." Cheng Yang said with a smile.
"Of course, since I can find you, I must have done my homework in advance. My conditions are very simple, there will be a trade fair in 3 days, and the last person to be auctioned at the trade fair is actually a person. I can give you the money, I can let you in, and you just have to help me take pictures of people at any cost, no matter how much it costs. What do you think? The man said.
"Sounds simple, but there's no conspiracy behind it, right?"
The man smiled and said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, there will definitely be a conspiracy, but it is against me." You just need to take a picture of the person, and then I can not only give you the information from three years ago, but also give you some help. As far as I know, you don't have a lot of control at the moment, and you're mostly getting it from that consulting shop. β
Cheng Yang lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I need to know who you asked me to photograph." β
"It doesn't matter who you shoot, you just have to do your best. Of course, you're also helping that person by doing this, and if someone else takes a picture, that person probably won't survive that night. The man grinned, with a hint of cunning in his innocence.
