Chapter 291: Qing Ke and Wen Cai meet
"Okay, I'm sorry for my aunt." Wencai responded politely.
Bai Meng was about to put down the phone, as if he remembered something again, and continued: "What are you looking for Coco?" β
"I ...... I haven't seen Coco for a long time, and I want to meet her, of course, to see if I have a chance to show her my heart. Seeing the overwhelming information about her and the child, she must have been having a bad time recently, I don't know, on the cusp of this, whether she is still willing to see me, and I don't know, will it hurt her to ask her out to meet at this time? Wen Cai replied truthfully.
Bai Meng was very satisfied with his answer, and Bai Meng responded, "You can rest assured to meet, it doesn't matter what kind of reporter it is, it is difficult for my family Coco to live alone for the rest of her life, and she will never be isolated from the outside world, and she does not practice any Nine Yin Sutra, so she does not need to retreat." She was in a good mood, and she started to play, and after speaking, she put down the phone and prepared to call Qing Ke. As soon as she turned around, Qing Ke was already standing behind her with Cha Cha in her arms, she was unprepared, and screamed in fright.
"Mom, what are you doing so loudly? Am I that scary? β
Bai Meng patted his chest and said with a displeased face: "Why don't you two walk silently!" Silently, you want to scare my soul away? β
"Haha, why didn't I realize that my mother's guts were so young? Who did you just say practice the Nine Yin True Scripture? β
"Look at you, you talk so incoherently, you can eat and sleep, it seems that I am all blind and worried. Whoever practices, I practice! When I'm done, I'll help you keep those flood beasts at bay. β
The two mothers and daughters began to resist, leaving behind the Wencai waiting on the other end of the phone.
"Really? The daughter thanked her mother first. By the way, there is also Cha Cha, thank you grandma. β
Qing Ke smiled evilly, and instructed Cha Cha to be with him.
"You...... You ......"
Bai Meng was angry with them, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
Qing could see that Bai Meng was angry, so he brought the topic to business, "By the way, Mom, Cha Cha said that someone was looking for me, is it true?" β
Bai Meng woke up like a dream, and quickly took Cha Cha from Qing Ke's hand, "Yes, come, give me Cha Cha, hurry up and answer the phone." β
In order not to embarrass Qing Ke, and in order to let Qing Ke and Wen Cai talk freely, she deliberately walked to the yard with Cha Cha to play.
With curiosity, Qing Ke sat on the sofa, picked up the phone and said, "Hey! Who is looking for me? β
Wen Cai took a deep breath and spoke out halfway, "Coco, it's me, long time no see." β
A clichΓ© after a long absence.
Qing Ke heard Wencai's voice, and his heart suddenly tightened. Others say that you can't be a lover, and you can't even be a friend, which is not wrong at all, at least in Qingke, this is the truth.
After many years of absence, when she heard Wencai's voice again, she always felt awkward and unfamiliar, and for a while, she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Literary talent! Long time no see! β
This is the best way for Qing Ke to think of responding, this is the official word of reunion after a long absence!
"Where have you been for so many years, I have looked for you, but I can't find it, you seem to have evaporated from the world."
"I ...... I'm going to give birth abroad! Needless to say, those journalists have already made it public without reservation. β
Qing Ke said with a relaxed face, although her current life is not satisfactory, doesn't life have to go on? Instead of being unhappy every day, it is better to face it with a smile.
Her ease and ease made Wen Cai a little embarrassed.
Wen Cai was stunned for a while, and then he continued, "Then how have you been doing in the past few years?" β
"It's good, it's fulfilling, it's very happy, and I'm glad that God can give me such a lovely daughter."
"That'...... You and Wu Meng were said in the newspaper...... Are those all true? β
Wencai was hesitant, but he still asked the doubts in his heart.
Qing Ke on the other end of the phone hesitated for a few seconds and returned: "What is it with Wu Meng?" You should know better than anyone how we could be together if it weren't for you. β
Qing Ke's voice seemed to carry a sense of reproach to Wencai.
Wen Cai was silent for a while, and continued to ask: "That...... Wu Meng, he ...... now," he asked, his voice stopped again, and then immediately changed his tone, "Keke, can we meet?" β
"This ......" Qing Ke hesitated a little.
"If you don't want to, then I won't force it, after all, you are a public figure now, and a group of reporters will pop up behind you at any time......" Wen Cai saw that Qingke hesitated, and hurriedly spoke out to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Of course you can, we're friends aren't we, you book the time and place."
Qing Ke's sudden refreshment made Wen Cai a little flattered, and he hurriedly said excitedly: "Okay, thank you Coco, do you remember the coffee shop we used to go to?" Let's make an appointment there, at eight o'clock in the evening, see you or leave. Wen Cai glanced up at the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand pointed in the direction of seven o'clock, and in order to give himself an hour to prepare, he set the time at eight o'clock.
"Okay, I'll be on time."
"Oh, by the way, can you bring Cha Cha with you? You know I love kids and I want to be friends with her. β
Wen Cai actually made such a request, Qing Ke was really a little surprised, she saw the tea and tea playing in the courtyard from the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the living room. It's the height of summer, and it's not completely dark, so Qing Ke can clearly look at the smile on Cha Cha's face. She hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.
When Cha Cha first returned to China, Bai Meng often took Cha Cha out to play. But later, because of repeated sieges, Bai Meng didn't dare to go out with Chacha anymore.
Since then, Cha Cha has only been in the home and garden every day, and no one dares to take her out.
Qing Ke thought of this, and then readily agreed to Wencai's request, it's time to let Chacha go out to breathe fresh air, otherwise Chacha will have to be suffocated.
With Qing Ke's consent, Wen Cai happily jumped around in the living room, like a happy child.
Qing Ke hung up the phone, simply cleaned up, and went to the appointment with Chacha.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Wencai had not yet arrived, and the reason why Qing Ke was sure that Wencai had not arrived was because this coffee shop was not big, and they could see the whole picture at a glance.
She led Cha Cha into the store, and the owner of the store recognized her at a glance, and stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Miss Shang, long time no see!" β
"Yes! It's been a long time since I've drunk the coffee you've polished. β
"Don't worry, I will polish it for you with my own hands today, and I guarantee that it will still taste the original, how many people are there today?"
"Two of you! Give this little one another glass of milk, can you? β
"Yes, yes, yes, find a place to sit down, and I'll go and prepare. By the way, is it Li Shao who is late? β
Unexpectedly, the proprietress still remembers this, in the past, Qing Ke came to order the coffee first, and Wencai was always the one who was late.
When she asked, Qing Ke was still a little embarrassed, Qing Ke smiled awkwardly, and nodded slightly in response.
The proprietress smiled and turned around and walked towards the bar, Qing Ke looked at the table by the window, it was empty, there was no one.
This table is where she and Wen Cai used to sit, because there, you can see the peacocks raised behind the coffee shop, which is a special treat.
Oh, yes! There are really too many memories here, memories that belong to her and Wencai.
She sat in that position with Cha Cha in a ghostly way, and through the window next to her, she saw the peacock raised by the proprietress, the peacock was still the same, and the feelings no longer existed.
"Mom, look, what a beautiful peacock!"
Cha Cha saw the peacock on the open screen, and clapped her hands happily.
She didn't expect to see a peacock in a coffee shop, and she was very surprised, and her eyes were about to fall on the peacock.
Seeing that Cha Cha was so happy, Qing Ke couldn't help but move his gaze to the peacock and look at it twice.
She looked at it, and the bits and pieces of her previous relationship with Wencai actually came to her mind bit by bit, which made her instantly a little sad, and tears flashed in her eyes that she didn't even obey.
"Boss, do you still have the habit of raising peacocks?" Qing Ke asked casually at the busy proprietress in the bar.
The proprietress raised her head, glanced at Qing Ke with a smile, and said while grinding the coffee beans in her hand, "People! It's always nostalgic, and you can't change it when you get used to it. Actually, I don't like peacocks very much, and raising them is quite delayed. But you know that I left the one who liked it, and since he left, it became my hobby, and it slowly became a part of life. Perhaps, one day, I can muster up the courage to close this coffee shop, and maybe I will stop raising peacocks. β
The proprietress said, her expression becoming a little heavy.
Qing Ke was a regular customer here, and he became acquainted with the proprietress as soon as he came and went. When Wencai was really bored waiting, she would chat with the proprietress about it, so she also listened to the proprietress love story.
I only know that the proprietress has been guarding this coffee shop for ten years because of her dead husband. They opened the shop together, and it was her husband's dream. But not long after the store opened, her husband died in a car accident.
The two of them loved each other very much, and the proprietress almost died with her husband at that time. It is this shop that carries the memories of the two of them, and the peacock raised by her husband that supports her to live until now.
At that time, Qing Ke listened to the story of the proprietress, and she was so moved by their undying love, so she swore that she and Wencai would also have a vigorous love, and they loved each other as deeply as the proprietress did.
Listening to the words of the proprietress, Qing Ke was deeply touched.
Oh, yes! People are animals of love, Qing Ke looked at the peacock outside the window, and his thoughts flew wildly.
At the beginning, was I really too hasty, so easily gave up the love that I once recognized?
Is it really because I can't bear to hurt an innocent life that I am willing to give birth to Cha Cha? Or is he too selfish, and subconsciously wants to use the child to take revenge on Wu Meng?
On the surface, she told everyone that she just didn't want to hurt innocent little lives to give birth to Chacha, but her inner thoughts were not like this. As for what she really thought, no one knew, and even this beautiful lie she made up almost deceived herself.
