Chapter 1: Cold Night
On this rainy evening, the cold wind swept through the city like a pear blossom needle, and I wandered the streets alone with an umbrella, wandering like a ghost in the mortal world among the crowds of people around me who were scrambling to find my way home.
Ye Hua held a flower umbrella in his hand, squeezed out of the crowd with a panicked expression, and when he saw me in the crowd, he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced around slightly, and said with a slight puzzlement:
"Shui Han, she's gone?"
I nodded, still walking aimlessly, Ye Hua followed behind me, afraid that I wouldn't be able to think of the result for a while.
As I walked, I stopped in front of a café and stared blankly at the name of the shop: Cold and Warm on a Cold Night.
Suddenly, I unconsciously walked to this coffee bar that I used to open, maybe it was because I had a heart-to-heart with the coffee bar, or maybe I needed the nourishment of this coffee bar in this cold night.
Whatever the result, I'm here, the coffee bar I once abandoned.
Pushing open the door and walking in, as when I was leaving, it was as deserted as ever, two waiters and a barista chatting at the bar, and one or two couples sitting in the couple's seat telling their feelings and future.
"Hello and welcome!"
Seeing the door of the coffee bar open, one of the waiters walked over with a professional gentle smile on his face and said.
Maybe it's because I don't come here often, and I have been leaving this coffee bar to someone else to take care of, and these people may not know the mysterious boss behind me.
Ye Hua was snickering beside him, a boss came down to inspect, and none of the employees recognized it as the boss.
I glared at him angrily and said to the waiter, "Two glasses of cold and warm." ”
"Okay, please wait."
Maybe the coffee bar was too deserted, but just asking for two cups of coffee made this girl happy like a child.
But how would I know that in this city, a job is as easy as we want to find, although this coffee bar has few people, but it is very satisfying to earn a meager salary.
If the coffee bar can't be operated, it will be a torment for her and for the people who love this coffee bar.
Ye Hua broke the silence and said, "Are you really over?" ”
I was silent, with bitterness and endless sadness in my heart, unwilling to express the bitterness in my heart.
But in the end, he couldn't bear his questioning and said in a choked voice: "It's over, it's long over." ”
"What do you mean?" Ye Hua never understood the meaning of the words "it should have ended a long time ago".
"Tell me clearly, what the hell happened to you?"
The cold night wind ravaged the city, and though I was blessed by the "stove", my soul suffered in silence, like those wanderers who had nowhere to go at night, and had nowhere to hide, to enjoy, to enjoy alone......
Ye Hua's questioning, as if he was going to strip me naked in this cold night, contained humiliation in the insult of human nature.
At this time, the waiter brought two cups of cold and warm, as if sending charcoal in the snow, and I couldn't help but cast a grateful look.
"This cup is cold and warm, the entrance is ice, and the whole body has a sense of coldness.
But at the same time, there is a warmth from the stomach, welling up in the heart, shining in the heart......"
The more the waitress talked, the more excited she became, and it was no wonder that these two cups of coffee, called "Cold and Warm", were the signature of the restaurant and the one I did before I abandoned the coffee shop.
At that time, the coffee bar was not as deserted as it is now, and although the monthly profit was not million, it was still easy to exceed 10,000.
Thinking in my heart, I couldn't cry or laugh, I don't know how to make my own coffee?
"Okay, I see, you go get busy first."
What I said was like a command, probably subconsciously "picking up" this coffee bar again.
"Is it as awesome as she says?" Ye Hua didn't believe it, what else could a cup of coffee say so mysteriously?
I chuckled disdainfully, "The frog at the bottom of the well." ”
Ye Hua took a sip of coffee, savored it, and waited for the unique aroma of coffee to melt in his mouth, a cool mint smell filled his body, and then a warm current warmed his cold body, bringing a double extreme sense of ice and fire.
"Shui Han, this, this, this is too good!" Ye Hua exclaimed, he couldn't believe that there was such a unique coffee in this world.
"That's not it, it's just such a cup, more than a hundred." I pointed to the price list, the price of cold and warm was at the top, and a glass of "cold and warm" was a hundred and eight oceans.
"What, how did this thing work?" Ye Hua asked curiously, but he was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
"Fuck off!"
Ye Hua and I grew up growing up, and I still don't know what he is thinking about.
Even so, the weight of our years of friendship and brotherhood is simply not something that these words can shake. I believe in him, and he believes in me unconditionally, even if the whole world betrays me, he will definitely stand by my side, encourage me, comfort me, and say: I believe in you, you must have your reasons.
Ye Hua drank the coffee in one sip and said in a serious tone: "Shui Han, since it is divided, then it is divided, people have to look forward, the water flows low, the women are gone, and there are a lot of beautiful girls waiting for you, we don't lack this family." ”
"Fuck, I'm such a superficial person?" I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, I feel that I fell in love with her because of her appearance?
"Ahem, honestly, you're such a superficial person." Ye Hua looked at me with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Everyone knows that when we were in Shuihan University, we were heroes who broke through the women's bathhouse and made trouble in the women's dormitory. ”
When I heard this old story, even the thickest skinned person was, and I blushed and quibbled, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"It's okay if you don't know, I just know."
Me: "......"
Ye Hua suddenly thought of something, looked at me and asked tentatively: "Shui Han, do you see that since you are divided, are you ......?"
He didn't say any more, but looked at me and waited for my next step.
I pretended to be stupid and said, "What is it?" ”
Ye Hua showdown said: "Auntie didn't agree with you being together before, and your relationship was so stiff, should you go back and explain to Auntie now?" ”
As soon as I heard my mother, my heart was full of resentment, and the tone of my voice was a little angry: "You are the trust that my mother found?" ”
"No, I just asked your mother to come, oh no, I asked your mother to come, it's not right......" Ye Hua couldn't speak for a while, which made me cry and laugh.
"Okay, as for my mother, I'm not going back anyway." I sighed, although this incident has nothing to do with my mother, but the hurdle in my heart, the wound that was once forced out by my mother, is a pain that I can never forget in my life.
"Alas......" Ye Hua also knew that he couldn't persuade me to be a "cow", so he planned to retire.
"The money hasn't been paid yet!" I smiled and reminded him before he got up to leave.
Ye Hua: "......"
