Du Xiaoxian got out of the car and looked around, this place is indeed very quiet, she didn't expect the café to open in such a secluded place. But it looks very stylish.

Pushing the door in, there were only three or three guests inside, it seemed a little deserted, someone in the corner beckoned to her, although the light was dim, she recognized it as Xia Xiaowan.

When she approached, Xia Xiaowan asked with a smile, "It's not easy to find a place, right?" ”

"It's good that the driver knows about this place." Du Xiaoxian sat down and untied the scarf aside.

"What do you want to drink?" Xia Xiaowan beckoned the waiter over.

Du Xiaoxian said: "Just give me a glass of boiled water." ”

Xia Xiaowan asked: "Do you not like coffee because it is bitter?" ”

"No, I just can't get used to it."

Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter: "Give this young lady a cup of boiled water." ”

The waiter responded, turned around and left, and soon brought a glass of boiled water, Du Xiaoxian saw that there was a small list in the tray, picked it up and saw that this cup of boiled water actually cost eight yuan, she was a little surprised, and looked up at the waiter: "Boiled water also costs money?" ”

"Yes, miss," replied the waiter, half-bent over, respectfully, "we don't have a free program here." ”

"Those eight pieces are too expensive, it's just a glass of white water, and you can pour many cups in a pot."

"Boiled water itself is not expensive," the waiter patiently explained: "What is expensive is the environment and services, which are included in the cost." ”

Du Xiaoxian didn't understand it, "The environment also sells for money?" ”

"Okay, I'll answer you this question," Xia Xiaowan raised her chin lightly at the waiter: "We want to talk alone, please ......"

"Oh, okay." The waiter nodded knowingly and turned to leave.

Xia Xiaowan looked around and said to Du Xiaoxian: "Look at the decoration and furnishings here, they are all very exquisite, each table is equipped with flowers, the cost of this alone is not small, and their service is also in place, it really makes people feel at home, the coffee is also freshly ground, the fragrance is rich, and the taste is good, compared with the coffee brewed outside, it is naturally different, so it is reasonable for a cup of boiled water to sell for eight yuan." Do you understand my explanation? ”

"That means that even if you don't order something, it costs money to just sit down?"

"They don't have a minimum consumption, but who goes into a place like this just to sit down? Now that you've come in, you'll always ask for something to drink. ”

Du Xiaoxian understood, people who can enter here naturally don't care about this money. People who don't have money don't dare to come into such a place at all.

"Young master, is he okay?"

"He's fine," Xia Xiaowan stirred the coffee with a small spoon, "he just doesn't want to see you." ”

"I know, I broke him."

"He told me everything about you," Xia Xiaowan put down the spoon, took a sip of coffee: "It's not so much that you made him sad, it's better to say that he doesn't know how to face you." Xia Xiaowan was a little hesitant, her fingers rubbing on the coffee cup, as if she didn't know what to say.

"He actually still likes you, but he ...... me You know we've known each other since we were children, he used to like me, and now, he's ......" Xia Xiaowan sighed: "He should have come to tell you by himself, but he doesn't know how to face you, and this kind of thing is not easy to entrust to others, so ......"

Xia Xiaowan slurred and said half a sentence, as if she was very embarrassed. But the meaning of the words, Du Xiaoxian understands.

"The young master still likes you now, but he feels sorry for me, so he doesn't know how to face me, right?"

"He often tells me that you are stupid and stupid, but I think you are a smart girl, so there are some things that you will understand even if I don't say them."

Xia Xiaowan looked a little guilty, took out a narrow piece of paper from the small bag and handed it to Du Xiaoxian, "This is what Brother Nian Bin asked me to give to you, if it's too little, you can speak." Or if you have other requirements, you can also mention them together. Also, he wants me to say sorry to you! ”

Du Xiaoxian knew what it meant as soon as she heard it, she didn't take it, and she wasn't interested in how many zeros there were on the check. She thought she was going to cry, but no, her voice was unexpectedly calm, "The young master has always been very good to me, he doesn't need to say sorry." It's me who should say sorry, he's already given me too much, so I can't take anything from him anymore. I won't make any requests, Miss Xia, please tell him, I thank him for taking care of him these days, I hope he is happy, and I wish you happiness! ”

"Xiaoxian, you are such a good girl," Xia Xiaowan said sincerely: "It is precisely because you are so good, so Brother Nian Bin feels guilty, don't hate him, his situation is really difficult." ”

"I know." Du Xiaoxian lowered her head, she was really sad, and after a while, she raised it again: "I won't hate him." ”

Xia Xiaowan smiled, she picked up the coffee and drank it slowly, her slender fingers were slightly cocked, and the light shone from behind her, coating her whole person with a faint halo, although she was carrying the light, she could also see that her makeup was very exquisite, with a light lipstick, dense and curled eyelashes, and her eyes were black and bright, like the stars in the sky. She wore a pink short coat, a collar of a pure white shawl, a silk scarf painted in ink around her neck, and her wavy hair hung down on her shoulders, looking very casual, and her smile was shallow and bright.

It was the first time for Du Xiaoxian to look at her so carefully, and she felt that she was really beautiful, and Gu Nianbin should be such a woman by her side.

"You," Xia Xiaowan smiled, as if she was a little embarrassed: "When are you leaving?" Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, because Brother Nian Bin might go home to get his clothes, and he's afraid of bumping into you, so ......"

Du Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, if you can't leave tonight, I will definitely leave tomorrow morning." ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry," Xia Xiaowan asked, "Are you looking for a good place to live?" Do you want me to find a house for you, after all, I have many acquaintances and a wider range of channels. ”

"No need, thank you," Du Xiaoxian bit her lip and slowly stood up: "Nothing else, I'll go first." ”

Xia Xiaowan nodded and said, "Take care." ”

Du Xiaoxian wanted to smile at her one last time, but she couldn't. I had to quickly turn around and leave.

But it's only five o'clock, the sky has already darkened, everywhere is gray, but the street lights are not lit yet, the whole world seems to be stuck in a heavy gray, making people feel decadent, as if everything is hopeless, it is really hopeless, Du Xiaoxian doesn't know where her road is ahead, she can't see it, she just feels that everything doesn't matter. It didn't seem to be sad, she was like a soulless person, slowly staggering on the side of the street.

Cars speeding across the road, making a very loud sound, it seems a little noisy, the crowd of people coming and going side by side, the faces are expressionless, because of the cold, many people hide their faces in hats, scarves, Du Xiaoxian can't see it really, as if they are just a vague back/scene, although they can't see their faces clearly, but they also know that they are all in a hurry. She was the only exception, walking slowly, like a leisurely stroll.

Du Xiaoxian walked and walked, suddenly stopped, she looked around blankly, the crowd was silent, but quickly passed by her, group after group, as if there was no end, she was very flustered, these people seemed to have a clear destination, they may be going home, maybe they are going to see someone, and she doesn't, she has no home, and there is no one to meet, she only has herself, just like returning to her childhood, she will always only have herself.

She stopped here, but the world won't stop, Gu Nianbin won't stop, all the people won't stop, no one is interested in her, she's just a pitiful, humble, tiny little person like dust, she shouldn't have had extravagant hopes.

She stood for a long time, as if she was thinking about a lot of things, and she didn't seem to think about anything, she still remembered that when she first came, Gu Nianbin sent her to school, and when she went home, she often took half of the car and walked half of the way. It's just a few months later, she walked the same streets, but she couldn't find her original state of mind again.

Maybe it's time to get off work, the road began to jam the traffic, the sound of cars speeding by gradually disappeared, replaced by the sound of horns, one after another, noisy and annoying, the lights are on, there are countless small moths fluttering in the dim light, Du Xiaoxian looked at it for a long time, only to find that it was a light rain, the sky was getting darker and darker, she thought, I was afraid that it was going to rain heavily, she didn't bring an umbrella, and she had to go home quickly.

But when she lifted her feet, she didn't know where to go, where was where she was supposed to go? She was a little confused, like a lost child, looking around helplessly.

As the rain began to fall, she put the hat on her dress, put her bag on her shoulder, and began to run forward, she had only herself, so she could not get sick, because she had no money, and no one cared for her.

Ran to the bus stop, jumped on a car, no seat, she stood next to a man with glasses, holding the ring, her body swayed with the car, shook a few stops, only to find that it was wrong, this was not her route home, the next stop she got off the bus, cheered up and looked at the license plate, and finally found which bus she should take home, but after waiting for a long time, the car did not come, the originally crowded platform gradually became deserted, everyone got on the bus, only she was left, and the world once again forgot her.

The car finally came, Du Xiaoxian dragged his tired steps into the car, there were only two or three people in the car, the driver was a middle-aged man, he glanced at her, and actually talked to her: "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Du Xiaoxian said: "Yes, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

The driver said, "No way, there are very few cars on this line, and the interval is longer." ”

Du Xiaoxian asked, "Why are there so few?" ”

The driver had the patience to explain to her: "Because there are rich people living in that area, there are very few people who take the bus, and they can't make money, so there are naturally fewer cars!" ”

Du Xiaoxian suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, she turned around and walked slowly towards the back, but the driver stopped her: "Little girl, you haven't put in a coin yet." ”

She groaned, quickly turned her head again, swiped her card on the machine, and then found a seat to sit down.
