Compared with Xiao Dong, he may not be able to do it indifferently, but at least he can not be surprised: "Senior, you are still angry with me after three years, there are many people who are not professional and professional, so don't be so harsh on me." If you have the chance, you can go to my drink shop and try my own drinks. ”

Xiao Dong's addiction to coffee is even worse than mine. I remember one time, he deliberately ordered two glasses of Blue Mountain to lure me to drink, just to prevent me from quitting the addiction.

Xu was my voice of "senior" that made him move, and finally his frowning eyebrows slowly loosened, glanced at me and asked, "When did you learn to develop drinks?" Can you drink it? ”

I couldn't help laughing, reported the address of the store, thought about it and said, "If you don't have time, you can also order takeout, can you drink it and wait for the senior to taste it before commenting." ”

Xiao Dong snorted lightly: "The takeaway wants to send me away?" There are no doors. I'll go over tomorrow when I get off work, don't fool me with those sweet and greasy drinks, what's the name of the store? ”

"Bashan night rain."

He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name of the shop, "Does it have any special meaning?" ”

I shook my head, "Just just a random name on the Internet." ”

At this moment, Mi Li ran out of the box in the corridor and shouted at me, "Mom, grandma said she was leaving." Then he ran in again.

"Is it your son?" Xiao Dong asked.

I nodded, turned my head and was about to say goodbye to him, but I didn't expect to be asked after meeting his gaze: "Zhou Yu is not there?" I went over and said hi to him. After two seconds of silence, I replied, "He's not here tonight, next time." ”

When I walked back, I could feel that Xiao Dong's gaze had been on his back, I used to be afraid that he would see through his thoughts, but now, even I can't see through the thoughts in my heart, and there is nothing to hide.

Leaving the hotel, on the way back, my mother was particularly silent, and occasionally looked at her eyes with complicated eyes. Knowing what she was thinking, when she arrived downstairs in the apartment and offered to go upstairs with me, I made an excuse and politely declined, and some thoughts should be put an end to it early.

Mi Li was sleepy as soon as he sat in the car, so when I got out of the car, I carried him directly to the apartment. I just walked to the elevator and pressed the button, but I heard the rice grains who were dozing off on my shoulder suddenly shouted in surprise: "Uncle? ”

I turned around and saw a figure standing in the corner of the hallway, and the dim light softened its lines against me, not as strong and tough as during the day.

The man came out of the shadows, and when he got closer, he deliberately tilted his head to look at me.

There was a jingling sound behind me, it was the elevator that had come down, I frowned slightly, turned around and walked into the elevator. Unexpectedly, the figure flashed in front of me, and I saw him step inside first, and then stood inside looking at me.

I was inexplicable, but Mi Li was surprised by his move: "Uncle, why did you get inside?" ”

Faced with the question of rice grains, he blinked and replied, "Because my uncle can teleportation techniques." ”

Mi Li's eyes lit up suddenly, and he excitedly craned his neck and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true. Didn't you invite your uncle to your house to draw for you? Uncle has been waiting for you downstairs at your house. ”

Mi Li turned her head to look at me with a wistful look, "Mom, is that okay?" ”

I tried to keep my face calm and whispered refusal: "No, it's too late, uncle is coming home and you have to go to class tomorrow." ”

"But the rest of the class has already finished drawing, and I am the only one who has finished drawing." Mi Li drooped her head in disappointment.

"How many minutes can you draw? Are you afraid of me? Someone spoke.

If it weren't for the fact that he occupied the favorable terrain in the elevator, I really didn't want to pay attention to him. But he really didn't have a good face in the face of this situation, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?" ”

His dark eyes froze, and he said, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Don't you want to answer?"

"Nope." He shook his head, seeing that the elevator door was about to close, he reached out and pressed the button, and simply walked out from the inside to block the door, only to see him point to his head and say: "You dropped a bomb here, there is no reason to leave it alone." Why did you want Mi Li to draw his dad the way I did? ”

He repeated the question again.

I watched his eyes brighten and fade, and his mind turned countless times, and finally replied in a shallow voice: "Because Mi Li has never seen his father." ”

A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, as if the answer I had given was different from what he had originally envisioned, so he immediately asked, "Why?" ”

At this point, I could have blocked back with a sentence - what do you have to do with it?

But when he turned his eyes back to Mi Li's face, he paused and said, "I divorced his father." ”

The space was silent for two seconds before he reacted: "Oh, that's it, that...... I'm not trying to dig into your privacy, or ...... I'm just curious, and I won't be able to sleep tonight until I figure it out. ”

I ignored his words and lowered my eyes and asked, "Can you get out of the way now and let us go upstairs?" Mi Li has to go to school tomorrow, and he is sleepy. This is true, although Mi Li was excited after seeing him, but after playing with the little walnut all night, by this time he was yawning one after another.

He pursed his lips and finally got out of the way of the elevator doorway.

I stepped inside and pressed the floor button, the elevator door slowly closed, and the man outside kept staring at me. It wasn't until the door closed and the elevator went up that I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a bit of a headache, and the situation is always out of my control. If I were to judge him, there would be only two words to describe him now - difficult.

When I came out of the shower to help Mi Li come out of the bag, I walked over to find my phone, and saw that there were two messages from two different numbers, also unsigned. The number of the previous article has a relatively high appearance rate in the past two days, and an inexplicable sentence is written on it: Actually, I'm just making excuses.

Forgive me for not being able to keep up with his brain circuits, and I really can't figure out the deep meaning of these words.

After a moment's hesitation, he typed a note on the number - he.

The latter one just came in, and it was also an inexplicable sentence: Xiaoru, have you ever regretted it?

Is the hair and text messages so endless this year? However, I can roughly guess that this number is Xiao Dong's, since I left the court, I have changed to a new mobile phone, and I have also changed to a new mobile phone number, which can be regarded as officially cutting off contact with the past.

But it turned out that I never logged out, and even deposited phone bills there, and set up only one call, and the rest were all blocked. The old phone had been sitting in a drawer on the bedside table, and it had developed a habit of charging it every three days. It's just that it never sounded.

In the past few days, I was irritable, and I forgot about the habit that I had maintained for more than three years, and took out my old phone from the drawer to check it, and it was already a black screen and no power. I glanced at the other one next to me, and said there was no need to keep charging it.

After the long holiday, business will always be sluggish, and customers will only come at a fixed time as usual. So there was more time to be free, and Ming Tsai and Xiaohua also got together to chat, and I settled the accounts of the first three days and didn't join them.

I only heard Xiaohua ask Ming Zai: "Did you say that the thirty cups of handsome guy will come over today?" ”

"It's not coming, doesn't he think the tea I made doesn't fit the taste."

"You're stupid, it's because he wants to drink the tea made by our boss."

I couldn't help but cough dryly when I heard this, did any employee gossip in front of the boss like this?

As a result, the two people over there didn't hear it and continued to chat......

Ming Tsai said a little unconvinced: "Xiaohua, you come to comment, isn't the tea I made as delicious as the proprietress brewed?" ”

Xiaohua held her cheeks and thought about it, and said pertinently: "No, it's not good to drink, it's a matter of opinion, just like our old customers like your craftsmanship, but some people may like the proprietress too." ”

"......" It's not that I'm not calm, but I continue to get used to these two, and the more I talk about them, the more outrageous they become. Raising his eyes from the computer, he was about to speak, but his eyes swept over the glass door that was pushed open from the outside.

Xiaohua immediately turned around when she heard the voice, and her professional consciousness raised her voice and shouted: "Welcome." ”

The visitor glanced over and walked towards the bar, and Xiaohua stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you want something to drink?" ”

His gaze only swept over Xiaohua, and then fixed on me, "Don't you recommend it to me?" Xiaohua looked at the other party and came to see me again, with the expression of a melon-eating crowd.

Sighing secretly, I got up from the bar and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you came after work?" ”

Xiao Dong was still surprised to come, thinking that yesterday was just a couple of pleasantries. After all...... I turned my thoughts, not to mention the beginning, now that he is here, I have to entertain him personally.

It was a lemon blue mountain, and after the cup was pushed over, Xiao Dong frowned after looking at it, "Isn't there any coffee?" ”

"You can taste it first."

Hearing this, Xiao Dong picked up the cup, took a sip on his lips and raised his eyes, with doubts in his eyes: "Blue Mountain? ”

"Aren't you your favorite drink of the Blue Mountains?"

"But it's not coffee."

I smiled lightly, poured the rest of the drink into my cup and took a sip, and said, "We drink tea just to satisfy the taste buds, not coffee, and the taste of coffee is fine." ”

Xiao Dong was silent for a moment, and then asked lightly: "Do you think coffee is just a taste?" ”

Seeing that I was silent, he shook his head and said again: "You are wrong, coffee is not a taste, but an addiction, an addiction that is difficult to quit after drinking." The taste can be imitated, but without caffeine, it is not coffee. ”

I can understand that for a person who drinks coffee all year round and every day, it is not so easy to accept that coffee becomes a drink. But I still want to express my opinion: "The word addiction is a disease, so it can be seen that it is not good." In addition, in addition to the fact that taste is actually just a thought, since taste can be replaced, why not quit the addiction? ”

Xiao Dong smiled, "Xiaoru, now you are a philosopher." ”

I laughed too.

The sense of distance elongated by time seems to be shortened by this smile.
