Because of his gradual acquaintance, Mencius went to Xu Xia's café more frequently than before. She still goes every afternoon, Xu Xia still sings every afternoon, and gradually forms a fixed program, which has always been lighter than the evening, but the number of guests is nearly doubled, and the people who come to listen to the song fill the room. They ordered a cup of coffee, held it in their hands, stood by the wall, and quietly listened to Xu Xia sing.

In stark contrast to the crowded scene, there is a corner of the museum where there is a table with a sign that reads "Reserved", only to find out later that the table has been booked by a beautiful woman with bright eyes and bright teeth. They guessed that the beauty and Xu Xia must have a lot to do with each other, otherwise why did they always leave a seat for her? Later, everyone found out that Xu Xia's singing time was not fixed, every time a beautiful woman arrived, he began to play and sing, if the beauty didn't come that afternoon, he wouldn't have sung.

At first, it was just a suspicion, but after a long time, it was slowly fully confirmed, and even Ren Dandan and Jiang Kaicheng also saw that Xu Xia was interested in Mencius. It's just that he is very bored and doesn't say anything, unlike Chen Hua, who has already openly sent flowers.

Mencius He held the delicate rose and smiled at Chen Hua: "You are taking a risk, because you don't know me at all." ”

Chen Hua smiled gentlemanly, "I hope you give me a chance so that I can get to know you." ”

"I'm not going to be the woman you want."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Mencius He didn't answer, looking at Xu Xia who was singing in a low voice in front of him, he was silent.

The man's pure voice whispered:

That year you were young

I always feel that tomorrow will definitely be beautiful

The ideal world is like a ray of light

Shine in your heart

How can you let this burning heart keep burning?

Just like that, exhaustion disappears into mediocrity

You decide to hit the road and leave the city

Leave the girl you loved for many years

You've been running for years

Seeing that tomorrow is still elusive

The ideal of purity in the face of survival

It turned out to be so fragile

You're standing on this bustling street

Can't find where you're going

You're standing on this bustling street

I felt a panic that I had never felt before

……

After a while, she exhaled, as if to exclaim, "He sings so well." ”

Chen Hua stared straight at him, his eyes burning, as if waiting for her answer.

Mencius lowered his eyes, drew on the cream with a small spoon, and said in a low voice, "I'm not a good person. ”

"Usually it's not bad to say that."

"You're going to regret it."

"I don't regret it."

Jiang Kaicheng came over with a plate of cake: "Miss Meng, Xu Xia invited you to eat." ”

"Thank him for me." The corners of Mencius's eyes flew, and his charming smile made Jiang Kaicheng's heart skip a beat, and he glanced at Chen Hua quickly, and turned to leave.

Jiang Kaicheng felt that Mencius He was a dangerous woman, because she was too beautiful and too flamboyant. Creatures with beautiful appearances, especially women, are extremely dangerous. It's like a desert rose, unbelievably beautiful, but it's so poisonous that it kills you.

He didn't understand why Xu Xia liked Mencius He, such a woman was not suitable for him at all.

Chen Hua also looked at Xu Xia: "Or, you like Xu Xia because he always invites you to eat cakes." ”

Mencius He smiled slightly: "Xu Xia is a very simple person, he is very much like a friend of mine. ”

"Ex-boyfriend?"

"A woman that your ex-boyfriend likes."

Chen Hua was stunned, "Are you friends with the woman your ex-boyfriend likes?" ”

Mencius asked him rhetorically, "Is there anything you can't do?" ”

Chen Hua smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded." ”

Mencius He smiled bitterly: "I'm just obsessed." ”

Chen Hua was silent for a while and held her hand: "Zihe, no matter what happened to you, I hope I can take care of you in the future." ”

Mencius wanted to withdraw his hand, but the man grabbed it tighter: "Don't run away, I can see that you don't hate me, why don't you try it?" ”

Xu Xia held the guitar and looked at the corner from afar, the man's affectionate gaze, and their two hands stacked together, he sighed lightly, and then sang:

You've been running for years

Seeing that tomorrow is still elusive

The ideal of purity in the face of survival

It turned out to be so fragile......

He is used to not fighting or grabbing, but in the face of love, he can't give up. He is not as direct as Chen Hua, he can only sing for her, invite her to eat cake, and that's it.

Mencius asked Chen Hua, "Why do you like me?" ”

"There's no reason in the dictionary of love? If you can say it clearly, it is not called love. ”

Mencius asked again, "What do you like about me?" ”

"All, all, good, and bad."

"Do you care about my past?"

"I don't care, I only care about now."

"No matter what happens to me, do you not hesitate?"

"No hesitation."

Mencius He looked at him quietly, "Okay, if you insist, we can try to communicate." ”

Chen Hua didn't expect her to agree so happily, she was stunned for a while, and after a while, she asked cautiously, "You mean it really?" ”

"Really." Mencius He's expression was very determined.

Chen Hua was overjoyed, raised his hand, and Jiang Kaicheng walked over: "Brother Chen, what do you want?" ”

"All the orders of everyone present today are all bought by me!"

Jiang Kaicheng's eyes widened: "Brother Chen, are you serious?" ”

"Miss Meng accepted my confession."

It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Kaicheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, Mencius was certainly better with Chen Hua than with Xu Xia.

As soon as Xu Xia's piano sound fell, Jiang Kaicheng announced the good news, and the café suddenly became noisy, everyone clapped and applauded, and blessings came and went.

Jiang Kaicheng secretly looked at Xu Xia, although he didn't go over to express his blessings, he was smiling, and he didn't look unhappy at all.

Probably they all thought wrong, Xu Xia's song was not sung for Mencius.

Someone recorded a video of Xu Xia singing and posted it on the Internet, and the click-through rate reached 10,000 in a short period of time, and it kept soaring, so people from entertainment companies came to lobby him to be on the show, and some people wanted to package him and want to make him popular, Xu Xia refused one by one, he didn't like to be noticed, and he didn't like to be high-profile.

Everyone didn't understand, he felt that such a good opportunity, why did he waste it, how many people worked hard, and there was no such luck, but he disdained it.

Chen Hua hated that iron could not become steel, and counted him: "I used to ask you to participate in the competition, but you didn't go, for fear of failure, now you don't have to compare, people say that they will directly package and make it popular, and a lot of money will be stuffed into your arms, you don't want it, stupid or not!" There is no one more stupid in this world than you. ”

Xu Xia lowered his eyes and sat quietly without saying a word.

Mencius He said, "Xu Xia, what are you worried about? ”

Xu Xia said: "I don't like to be involuntarily, I don't like not to be free. Even if I am given 100 million and let me live in a gold-plated house, if I am not free, I would rather not. ”

Chen Hua scoffed: "What is freedom? Having money is called freedom, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, earn enough, you can be free as much as you want. ”

"I'm talking about the freedom of the heart, not money, I don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and the café business is good, why should I not be happy?"

Chen Hua is still indignant: "Young and young are not motivated, and there is no interest." ”

"Forget it, everyone has his own way of living." Mencius He said: "I think Xu Xia's mentality is also good. ”

Xu Xiaxiang suddenly remembered and said to Mencius: "There is a new cake that tastes good, do you want to try it?" ”

Mencius He's eyes lit up: "That's great, of course you have to try." ”

Xu Xia got up to get the cake, Chen Hua looked at his back and said, "Everyone says he likes you, what do you think?" ”

Mencius He smiled: "I'm not worthy of his liking." ”

Chen Hua was unhappy, "You mean, because I'm not as good as him, that's why you accept me?" ”

Mencius He glanced at him: "Small belly chicken intestines." ”

Xu Xia quickly brought the cake, and sure enough, it was different from what she had eaten before, the cream layer was very thin, but the taste was good, it melted in the mouth, the cake was softer, and it was slightly sweet.

Xu Xia explained: "This kind of cake has a smaller proportion of granulated sugar, and the cream is not greasy, which is good for teeth. ”

"Thank you," Mencius He scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, smiling sweetly: "I like it very much." ”

Xu Xia was very afraid to see Mencius smile, because that smile always made his heart tremble, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Coming out of the café, Chen Hua proposed to go to dinner together, Mencius He shook his head, "No, another day, I'm a little tired and want to go home." ”

Chen Hua was a little unhappy: "Zihe, we have been dating for a week, and we haven't eaten a single meal, do you think this is normal?" Also, you don't allow me to hold you and kiss you, only hold hands, I don't think you treat me as a boyfriend at all. ”

"You also said that you have only been dating for a week, what do you want? Go to bed? ”

Chen Hua wanted to say that everyone is an adult, and it is not impossible to be emotional, but Mencius He looked very serious, he didn't dare to say it, he just sulked.

Mencius ignored him and walked away on his own.

Looking at the figure of the woman gradually moving away, Chen Hua was a little frustrated, he didn't understand, why didn't Mencius open his heart to him with such good conditions? He knew she was someone with a story, but who didn't have a past? There's no need to dwell on it all the time, the days always have to look forward!

Mencius He walked slowly along the street, and at dusk, the setting sun slowly sank between the buildings, like a huge salted egg yolk. She thought it was a little funny, and everything looked like she was eating.

The mobile phone rang, it was Chen Hua calling, probably wanting to apologize to her, but after hesitating, she didn't answer.

At first sight, when I saw Chen Hua, he smiled gently and politely, just like Cheng Ruizhang at the beginning. Agreed to date, also for this reason. I know that it is to drink doves to quench my thirst, but I can't help it, there is a substitute to love myself, can I make up for a little regret?

She was actually hesitant, but Chen Hua said, "How do you know if you don't try?" ”

This sentence made her heartbroken, so let's try it.

I only knew after trying it, but it still didn't work, no matter how it looked, it wasn't him in the end!

Mencius He sighed secretly, in this life, she may not be able to love the second man anymore.
