When Xu Xia saw Mencius He for the first time, his heart was shocked, as if an electric current passed through his body, causing him to be in a trance for a moment.

The funny thing is that there happened to be a customer ordering coffee, and when he saw him like this, he looked at him and his eyes were straight, so Xu Xia felt that it was really not that he was not right, it was indeed Mencius He who was too hooked.

Throughout the afternoon, Xu Xia was a little distracted, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the woman in the corner.

She is really a stunner, with big eyes, a high nose, bright eyes and bright teeth, millet curly hair draped over her shoulders, like a shining waterfall, wearing a silk white shirt and a bohemian dress, like a gypsy girl who suddenly appeared, a little mysterious, a little uninhibited, and full of curiosity.

No woman has ever been able to pull the string in his heart so easily, Xu Xia thought maybe this is called love at first sight, right?

But what about it? He thought with some frustration that there must be a tall, powerful, handsome and golden man behind such a woman.

But he gradually discovered that Mencius He often came in the afternoon, came alone, walked alone, no one picked her up, she was tall, always wearing a loose long skirt, and walked swaying, like a blooming dahlia, attracting everyone's attention. Every time he came in, Xu Xia felt that the dark room suddenly lit up, a little fluffy.

Every time Mencius He came, he ordered a glass of white water with a dessert, and sat in the corner leisurely reading a book and eating dessert. Curly hair falls down the shoulders, a very petty bourgeois feeling.

In fact, there are many girls with a gentle temperament, drinking coffee and turning the pages, each of them looks very petty bourgeoisie, but only she is different, petty bourgeoisie and gypsy girl are two different styles, but they can be reflected in her. When it is quiet, the eyes are quiet, clean and sweet, and when eating desserts, occasionally the corners of the eyes are flying, and another kind of surprise is born.

Xu Xia looked at it stupidly, every day, every day, this became the scenery he was most eager to see.

Xu Xia is actually a science and engineering man, he never thought that he would open such a coffee house, let alone meet Mencius He in his coffee house.

He studied computer science in college, and after graduation, he entered a large IT company, with good salary, but the work was very hard, and it was common to work overtime and stay up late.

A colleague sent him to the hospital, and the doctor told him that his cervical spondylosis was very serious, and it would not be cured for a while, and even if he was cured, he could not return to his previous state, and it was better to change jobs.

When his parents heard the news, they insisted that he quit his job, stayed in the hospital for half a month, and took him home.

His home is in a small city, compared with a big city, life here seems very leisurely, but Xu Xia is not willing to be idle at home, always want to do something, he has worked for a few years, has savings in hand, wants to do a small business, when wandering on the street, just saw this café listed for transfer, he didn't think much about it, walked in, talked with the boss, and looked at the decoration inside, felt that it was not bad, and made a decision on the spot.

The boss's name is Chen Hua, and he thinks he is very happy, so he took the initiative to drop 10,000 yuan, saying that he wanted to make him a friend, and told him some ways to do business. In this way, he has not yet opened a museum to do business, and first made friends with Chen Hua.

Xu Xia didn't know coffee, he just wanted to do something to kill time, because his neck spine had a two-year recovery period, and during these two years, his parents did not allow him to sit in front of the computer.

With this café, he can sit at the counter, and as long as there is a place for him to stay, he is satisfied.

He didn't expect that he, who didn't know coffee at all, would open a café so well, even Ah Hua admired him and said that he was a businessman.

In fact, where is he doing business, but it was just a mistake. Although he is studying science, he was also a literary man in middle school, he loves to read, sing, and knows a little musical instrument.

He took the café as a place for his own fun, all the books at home were moved, and he bought a lot of new ones, so that the walls were full of books, the atmosphere came out, the musical instruments were also moved, and he was bored and entertained himself, coming and going, attracting many like-minded friends, friends brought friends, word of mouth, his café gradually became famous in the circle, and there were more and more people who came to admire it, sometimes it was full, and some people were willing to stand at the door and wait, Xu Xia set a few tables at the door, and made a small open space, Gradually, it was still overcrowded.

Chen Hua gave him an idea to open a chain and make the industry bigger, Xu Xia refused, opening a café was originally to kill his time, and he didn't want to find guilt for himself.

I thought that this kind of life was already the best, but I didn't expect to meet Mencius He.

Chen Hua said that there is no best in everything, only better. Xu Xia felt that he was right. Because after meeting Mencius He, he felt that life was better.

Because the business is good, there are two helpers in the café, one is nineteen-year-old Ren Dandan, she has been working here since she graduated from high school, and the other is twenty-two-year-old Jiang Kaicheng, when Chen Hua was the boss, he worked part-time here, and after graduating from college, he didn't find a suitable job, so he stayed here. He is outgoing, and he complements the introverted Xu Xia and becomes a very good friend.

is just a good friend, Xu Xia will not share his crush. He has a gentle personality and likes to flow for a long time, and I believe that one day, Mencius will find him good.

Since you want her to find out, you have to show something.

Seeing Mencius He enter the store, Xu Xia picked up the guitar, sat at the counter, and played and sang to himself. His voice is beautiful, pure and ethereal, much like a certain folk singer who was once popular. The first time I opened my voice in public, it was simply amazing. Chen Hua and Jiang Kaicheng strongly encouraged him to participate in the singing competition, saying that as long as he went, he would definitely win the award, be absolutely popular, absolutely radiant, and definitely become an idol worshiped by everyone.

Jiang Kaicheng is very good at talking, but his clever tongue can't move him.

Xu Xia knew his talent, and since he was a child, his teacher said that he sang well, had a sense of rhythm, and went to the Children's Palace to study, but later his parents thought that it was not a serious thing for a boy to sing, so in the end, he was admitted to college like an ordinary child and studied computer science.

Xu Xia likes to sing, but he doesn't like to live too high-profile because he feels too tired.

He sang Xu Wei's "Warmth",

I'm sitting in my room

Look at your photos

It reminds me of Dali again

The sun is always shining

The sky is so blue

Forever green mountains

I love the blue Erhai Lake

Scattered with white sails

The heart beats slowly with the wind

Under the golden sunset

In the green fairy grass

How warm your smile is

I love the blazing bonfire in Lijiang at night

We sing, dance, and be happy and simple

I love the starry sky on a blue night

The angel flew overhead and flew into the distance

In my arms, you whispered softly in your ear

That warmth is in my heart

With me I miss you today

You have made my heart heavy for a long time

I feel lightness like never before

……

As soon as he opened his voice, applause rang out, and even Mencius He raised his head and swept his eyes lightly.

Across several rows of tables, the eyes of the two met in mid-air, maybe just for a moment, maybe stopped for two seconds, Xu Xia only felt that his heart hit hard, and it hurt a little when he hit his chest, and then he jumped up wildly, as dense as a drum. He seemed to be scalded by boiling water, but he barely jumped up, and hurriedly avoided it, he sang very calmly, only Mencius made him panic.

The shallow chanting and pure sound seem to bring everyone to those beautiful pictures: clear blue sky, bright sunshine, dotted white sails, green mountains, blue ears...... At night, bonfires burn, laugh and dance, and meteors fly overhead...... Lovers' smiles, warm embraces, low whispers...... Bring endless flaws.

There was no noise, not even the sound of flipping books, everyone listened quietly, for them, it was a rare thing to hear Xu Xia sing in the afternoon, and because of this, it was precious.

After the song, the applause was like thunder, and someone shouted: "Xu Xia, let's do another song." ”

The people who come and go are all regular customers, no one calls him boss, they all call him by his first name, as if this is what makes him seem casual and intimate.

Xu Xia hugged his fists to express his gratitude, tuned the strings, and sang another song "Blue Lotus".

This is a song that is widely sung, so when it comes to the chorus, some people hum along:

Through the dark years

I also felt hesitant

When you look down instantly

Only then did I realize the road under my feet

Through the dark years

I also felt hesitant

When you look down instantly

Only then did I realize the road under my feet

The free world in my heart

So clear and lofty

Bloom and never wither

Blue Lotus

La-la-la

~~~~~~

Mencius He was slightly surprised, she had been here a few times, but it was the first time to listen to Xu Xia singing, seeing the people around her singing along, she was suddenly a little moved, everyone sang together, but it was not noisy, the low voice echoed in the room, like a gurgling spring in the mountains, making people feel quiet and far-reaching.

She looked at the man sitting at the counter playing the piano from a distance, he was wearing a light blue shirt, his hair was a little long, hanging down on his forehead, and the lamp behind him shone obliquely, gilding his body with a layer of empty white light, and he sat in the light and shadow, bowing his head and singing, like a devout believer, focused on his own singing.

Mencius knew that he was the boss here, and he also knew that his name was Xu Xia, that's all, she didn't like to pay attention to strangers, and the only person in the world who made her pay attention was no longer there.

But today, this Xu Xia gave her some impressions, it turned out that he could sing, and he sang so well.
