It was a Tuesday more than a dozen hours after Zhou Tai returned to his bedroom.

Unlike the cold and damp Monday, the lotus pond has become sunny for some reason after only a few hours.

The golden sunlight fills the streets, giving this small town in a vast expanse of land a touch of warmth.

Two grey rats crawling out of the rancid sewers and into a coffee shop named Robert.

In the café, a man sitting in the corner is grooming himself in a mirror he carries with him, as if waiting for some important person to arrive.

After a while, there was another woman in that corner who was equally elegant, decent, beautiful and refined.

They sat quietly in that corner, ordered two cups of coffee, sat there and talked quietly, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a very loving couple.

In the middle of the man and woman placed a European and American style glass coffee table, two people facing each other against the window sitting on a white sofa, sitting opposite the man in a black coat The woman in red sat embarrassed at this time, not daring to look at the man's face.

The man smiled at the woman at this time, and the rose, which had been hidden behind him, was slowly thrown in front of the girl, and said with a gentle face: "Being late has always been the patent of beautiful women, this flower is specially prepared for you, and it is as beautiful as you, don't you plan to smell it and relax your mood." ”

The woman took the flower as gorgeous as her own clothes, gently placed it under her nose and took a deep breath, the previous embarrassing atmosphere seemed to be dissolved in this way, she put the flower next to her, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

The man is still gentle and stares at the woman's eyes, the focused look is like the work that an artist is obsessed with, or the hunter is staring at the hard-won prey and hesitating whether to keep it in captivity or kill, his eyes reveal production and affection, which makes people want to stop and make people unable to extricate themselves.

And his good-looking face still maintains his smile like a spring breeze, which makes people's hearts feel comfortable and makes people speak freely.

On this delicate glass coffee table, there are two small white porcelain plates dragging white mugs, and a small silver iron spoon is added to the beige milk lid, which matches the sound of people and cars moving in the afternoon, and the whole scene is very simple, delicate and plain.

If you say something is almost something? That's a gentleman's kneeling and a little diamond ring that makes a woman's eyes shine.

Perhaps the lady was moved by this romantic atmosphere and deliberately pretended to be reserved, her white hands grasped the top end of the small iron spoon and stirred back and forth, the silver-white spoon and the white mug collided to make a crisp and soft sound that was pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

The lady looked at the man in front of her affectionately, the corners of her mouth turned upward, her eyes and eyebrows also glanced upwards smartly, and a delicate, innocent and lovely face was full of playfulness.

She was also embarrassed and said, "Let's talk about work first, let's have some fun." ”

The man opposite was still the same as always, with an intoxicating smile on his face, only to see the elegant man slowly stretch his hand forward, signaling the woman in front of him to drink coffee in this leisurely moment, enjoying life with fun, and he himself slowly picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.

After the man took a sip of coffee, a face that could be used as a comic cover said slowly with a playful expression: "What's wrong?" Ordered coffee and didn't drink it? So wasteful? Aren't you afraid that your illegitimate daughter will know about your bad habit? Or are you afraid of being poisonous? Could it be that you want your daughter to drink it through inheritance, I think it will bring you good luck. ”

Although the man used the gentle tone of the male protagonist to the female protagonist on TV, he smiled not very humorously at the beautiful and generous lady in front of him, and he also made the same playful expression as the previous lady on his face, but from the content of the man's mouth and the expression on the woman's face, we can draw two conclusions.

The first point is that their relationship may not be as good as ordinary people think, and the second point proves that what the man said is true.

"Listen." The lady pressed the emotion that was about to erupt, and an expression appeared on her face and eyes, and that expression was sincerity.

A grief and indignation came out of the throat of a beautiful lady: "Count me on, I beg you." ”

The man seemed to ignore the woman's plea that was enough to make the executioner change his mind, and his face remained unchanged for ten thousand years, but it seemed that it was probably a relieved smile as the Grim Reaper admired the last expression of his prey before his dying struggle.

He took another sip of the coffee in front of him, and then continued: "Of course you have the right to speak, and this is what everyone should do. But after all, he still didn't say half of the words hidden in his heart to the lady.

And that short half-sentence is: Take advantage of your chance, hurry up.

The woman placed her hand on the steaming coffee cup, and a warm heat passed from her fingers to her heart, giving the woman one last warmth.

But she still didn't keep the warm cup of coffee in her stomach for long.

The woman got angry, and after adjusting her emotions in one breath, she said to the man in front of her: "I can give you as much money as you want, as long as you terminate the contract between the two of us, do you know?" Even I can't believe that in just a few days, your life and my life have changed dramatically, and I am now living very well, so good that I no longer have to live in a dilapidated house that makes people unable to sleep and have no peace as long as it rains and blows. I don't have to mix water with milk for my daughter's breakfast, I can give her a nutritious meal, she will no longer be a black household, she will be able to go to school and have her own friends, she doesn't need to take a broken bowl and ask for money on the street, and my mother can also buy a beautiful dress to dance in the square instead of sweeping the street in the middle of the night. My life is starting to get better, everything is going to be on track, our family is not black or white, life is really getting better, please. ”

The man then stretched out his left hand to grasp the woman's right hand, but then the man seemed to think of something, and the outstretched hand stopped.

He then put his hand back on the coffee table, an embarrassed but polite smile on his face.

The lady who saw him speak said: "Please don't get excited, from the beginning when you asked me about work, to the current request, I can clearly understand your current emotions, why don't you talk to you about my past work and have some fun." ”

The man soothed the lady's emotions with a gentle tone, but what he said seemed to me to be nothing more than a diversion of the subject, and in some ways he was just stalling for time.

The man smiled again, but after a while, his hands and facial muscles turned and made strange expressions, as if he was recalling something through direct body movements.

After a while, the man finally spoke, his hand clutching the small iron spoon and gently slamming the mug into a crisp and soft sound, and a sensational, real-night urban weirdo slowly came out of his mouth.

"It was my first time in the business, and I didn't understand a lot of rules at that time, and under the stalking of one of my customers, I told him the whole plan, and he knew every step of my whole plan, every information, every step of the dynamics, sorry, wait a minute."

After saying this, the man's face finally sneered uncontrollably, although he tried to control his emotions again and again, but all ended in failure.

The lady sitting across from her didn't know if she was infected by the man's black humor, or if her brain was in a state of stress and her body kept the same overreaction as everything else, but she laughed too, and the two of them laughed unbridled like madmen, like unrestrained madmen.

The man nodded violently, with a gradually perverted smile on his face, and his mouth became intermittent with a strong smile: "You know, the funniest thing is that the man was sitting here that day, at the same time or with the same question. ”

At this time, his hand kept tapping the coffee table, and the coffee from the mug on the porcelain plate also spilled on the coffee table due to the vibration.

At the same time, men and women who sat at a table away from them, with a large age difference, dressed like nouveau riche, glanced at them in the face of their unqualified behavior, and lived a two-person world that belonged directly to the cheating husband and the mistress.

The man and woman by the window instinctively felt the unfriendly eyes on the other side, and the two were not allowed to reveal their identities for different reasons, so they did not make a loud noise.

The man now was in stark contrast to the state he had just been, and his handsome face was no longer a sickly mad smile, but an old butler like a gentleman with a serious and meticulous expression.

His eyes gradually became sharper, perhaps because he changed too fast, and the girl who used to be an actor couldn't help but imitate it, and the previous state of the two seemed to have returned to just now.

Everything is so simple and exquisite, everything is so elegant and decent.

At the same time, a monologue of unknown meaning like the beginning of a black-and-white ghost movie also slowly comes.

"Liantang, a place with a high rainfall and crime rate, and even sometimes the visibility here is very bad.

For example, if you're standing in front of me, I can't see your face clearly.

But there are still people who come to this kind of ghost place, and it has brought a huge tourism development to the local area.

Is it simply because it's a warm habitat for countless psychopaths and serial killers? Or is it because it's a breeding ground for germs and misery and injustice?

But as always, on Friday afternoon, as fate deliberately intertwined with us, at this time and place, the sunset is like the twilight of the gods, belatedly but as scheduled.

What happened after that was like purgatory on earth.

Every inch of the world, every corner of the whole world, filled with industrial creations from modern society, cannot be hidden, cannot be escaped.

The colors of the rivers and lakes are colorful, full of the smell of modern technology, and everyone has become insensitive, cold-blooded, and selfish, and this atmosphere, everything is like a huge sacrifice, waiting for the apocalypse.

He and I sat in a coffee shop named after the famous killer Robert, eating deadly chocolates that weren't lethal, like demons and mortals, making indescribable deals and signing contracts at the same time.

I look forward to the most beautiful scenery and he wants to die without pain.

And just like that, he found me, or rather, I found him.

I washed my truck that morning, and the scrapping truck finally shone brightly at the last moment of its life.

I was walking down the road in my truck, keeping my eyes on the pavement, and at the right moment, he would be hit and killed by my truck without pain, and I would get out safely due to various factors such as blind spots.

But the man regretted it after all, and I found out the problem later.

No one is really going to be happy to die, and those who really want to die can be solved by taking a rope at home.

At that time, I saw him, and he saw me, and he waved to me with a newspaper, and I sped up, but he dodged it, and as a last resort, I drove it onto the sidewalk, and it was so chaotic that I vowed never to tell anyone about my plans again. ”

The man's hands, like that of a comedian, are dexterous and funny, and he ends the conversation with an exaggerated expression in the way that the kindergarten teacher's class fools the children.

"Oh, really?" The woman interrupted the man's narration and asked, "Is this the end of it?" Your mission fails, you return the money to him, and then the matter is over. ”

The man shook his right hand casually, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It won't be solved so easily, because it doesn't follow the rules." ”

At this time, he suddenly waited to lean his upper body forward, and the two delicate and elegant faces were about to come together, just like the beginning of all children's inappropriate movies.

Startled by the man's sudden behavior, the woman hurriedly shrank back, and at the same time, the man moved forward with a poker face to target the woman, and began the first sentence of conversation in this awkward way.

"Do you remember when you were filming [Nanxue]? It was more than minus 40 degrees, and there was a scene where you were running naked on the snow, but you had a fever at that time, but even then you insisted on doing it, right? ”

The woman seemed to realize something, but in this case, she still nodded gracefully with a gesture of not being surprised, as a sign of affirmation.

"No matter how hard it is, what I promised to do must be done, this is what you taught me, I am your loyal fan."

The woman who heard this sentence suddenly lost the image that had just changed without being surprised, and her calm eyes looked very hideous and terrible due to the movement of her muscles and the shrinking distance from her eyebrows, her expression began to twitch, and she began to gnash her teeth because of anger, and even her words were spit out word by word.

"Fake, but, he, mother, yes, I, hire, you."

"But it's because you can't do it that you hired me." The man at this time was not as aggressive as he was just now, and even had an expression of being wronged by a primary school student.

This time, the man's expression changed suddenly, so that the woman didn't know how to respond.

But fortunately, she is a genuine actor, and acting on the spot is her specialty.

Her hands approached the man's hand, her expression gradually became calm and peaceful, and the lines she was about to say were full of apologies.

"I... I've done some with others before... Unexposed transactions, then... I... I just debuted and didn't have any skills, just... It's you know, we can.... ”

She grabbed the man's hand, her eyes full of fear and anticipation.

The man glanced at his watch with his spare eyes, with an extremely disappointed expression, and the words he said also revealed sadness: "It seems that we don't have anything to talk about, all I can do now is to leave immediately, and then buy the order, and besides, this flower doesn't belong to you. ”

After saying this, the man immediately took the flower and left, leaving the woman's sight, and the last thing left was the sound of traffic passing by the street, and a delicate small white porcelain plate and the fragrant coffee in the white mug on it.

A ray of sunlight shone on her face, her mind was congested at the moment, and she was very excited, and she sat there quietly alone, enjoying the sudden surprise, the joy of escaping death.

The man who hid in the toilet and didn't leave looked at the roses he had given to the woman before and pondered something?

Finally, he sighed, pushed open the door to the toilet and returned to his previous position, took out a black card from the inside pocket of the woman's blouse, which was already congested and delirious, and walked away, with a runaway smile on his face.

He pushed open the door of Robert's Cafe with a smile, and the moment he walked out of the door, his smile narrowed, and his whole face was as cold as ice.

When he turned a corner into a dark alley without a monitoring probe, he said something inexplicably: "Why do women love flowers?" ”

A gray rat, having enjoyed a perfect meal, walked out of the gate and returned to the cold, damp sewer.

All that's left is a group of smiling, well-dressed men and women.

Everything is so refined and elegant.
