When I came out of the library, the last rays of the sunset on the horizon sank into the horizon with reluctance to say my final goodbye to the city. On the street, the neon lights of thousands of homes lit up one after another as agreed.

When Xu Mubai pushed Liu Xiaoqian into a café, the time just stopped at half past seven. The café has a quaint décor, a quiet atmosphere, and a flowing piano sound...... All of them make people feel a sense of tranquility like never before. This is indeed the best place to chat.

As soon as Xu Mubai walked into the café, he found that Liu Xiaoqian's mood was a little abnormal. She reached out and stroked every corner of the café like a devout believer. The kind of sadness that naturally emanates from the inside out provokes the people around them to cast strange glances at them.

A waiter walked over and asked with a smile, "Miss!" Do you have any instructions? ”

Liu Xiaoqian came to her senses instantly, and she smiled awkwardly at the waiter: "Bring me a cup of wheat bean coffee!" Sweetened! Thank you! ”

"Okay!" The waiter scribbled it down in his notebook, and then continued: "Excuse me! Is there anything else you need? ”

Liu Xiaoqian shook her head, turned to Xu Mubai and said, "If you need anything, you can ask him directly!" I'm just here to eat and drink. With that, he pushed his wheelchair and walked to a window seat and sat down.

Xu Mubai suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. He took the waiter's menu, sketched a few strokes on it, and then explained it before walking to Liu Xiaoqian's side.

Xu Mubai sat down opposite Liu Xiaoqian, and said without saying anything: "Xiaoqian! Your emotions don't seem quite right today, can you tell me why? ”

Liu Xiaoqian did not answer his question. She turned her head and stared out the window. The sadness when she entered the store, like fungi blooming everywhere after the rain, quietly appeared in her eyes again.

Xu Mubai looked at Liu Xiaoqian opposite in a daze. At this moment, he could clearly feel the deep sorrow in her heart, her loneliness, and her poignancy like an epiphany, which only bloomed quietly in the middle of the night.

After a while, the waiter came over and set up a candlestick for them. The moment the candle burned, Liu Xiaoqian suddenly turned around and said puzzledly: "Why do you want to light the candle?" ”

Xu Mubai spread his hands and explained: "Because, I want to treat you to a candlelight dinner!" ”

"Don't you know that candlelight dinners are eaten with your beloved? Do you think I'm your beloved? After Liu Xiaoqian questioned him, she blew out all the candles at once.

Xu Mubai was frightened by her movements, he looked at Liu Xiaoqian opposite in a daze, and suddenly felt that she was so strange.

Liu Xiaoqian suddenly apologized: "Xu Mubai! I'm sorry! I'm angry with you because I remember some sad past, and I hope you don't take it to heart. ”

"Hmmm! It's okay! It's okay! Xu Mubai waved his hand at her, indicating that he didn't mind.

At this time, the waiter brought the drinks, snacks, and desserts they ordered with the plates. Liu Xiaoqian said suspiciously: "Xu Mubai! It's just the two of us, why are you ordering so many things? ”

Xu Mubai smiled and said, "Isn't this afraid that you won't be able to eat?" So order a little more. ”

Liu Xiaoqian rolled her eyes directly at him and said, "This is more than that!" It's a lot more, right? I'm not a pig, why do I eat so much! As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiaoqian "poofed", and she was amused by herself.

Xu Mubai was relieved when he saw her smile.

"Dear guests! Why don't you light candles? This is the famous wax in our store, which is beautiful and can exude a burst of fragrance, but it smells good. The waiter immediately lit a candle for them without saying a word.

Xu Mubai just wanted to speak, and was about to tell her to stop, but Liu Xiaoqian kicked him under the table and kept glancing at him. Xu Mubai hurriedly took back his words, and almost didn't suffocate his internal injuries.

Liu Xiaoqian thanked the waiter: "Sister! Thank you! ”

"It's okay! This is what I should do! Have a nice meal! The waiter waved his hand at them and walked away with a smile.

Xu Mubai stood up, and when he was about to blow out the lamp, Liu Xiaoqian immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't blow it!" Let it burn! ”

Nani? In Xu Mubai's mind, it was like a short circuit in an instant, and a large piece of it was burned out with a "swish". Don't let people point for a while, and let people point for a while, what kind of logic is this TMD? Sometimes, he really can't understand the whimsical thinking of those girls, as if whatever you do is wrong.

All right! You're a girl, count yourself as a winner. After Xu Mubai thought of this, he began to eat on his own. The tacit understanding of chatting with Liu Xiaoqian in the afternoon has long been frank at this moment.

.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Mubai looked up inadvertently and saw Liu Xiaoqian holding a fork, eating pastries and shedding tears. Xu Mubai was instantly stunned! This time, he really couldn't figure out what Liu Xiaoqian's situation was.

"Xiao Qian! What are you doing? Xu Mubai hurriedly picked up a tissue and helped her wipe away the tears on her cheeks. But Liu Xiaoqian was like crazy, holding a fork and stuffing things into her mouth until she choked and gasped.

Xu Mubai walked over, patted her on the back, and complained: "Xiaoqian! What the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, the way you look now is really not the Liu Xiaoqian I knew before. ”

Who knows, after Liu Xiaoqian heard his words, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried even more. Xu Mubai looked at Liu Xiaoqian, who felt like a mess, and his heart was a mess. Because, at the moment, he really doesn't know how to persuade her.

"Xu Mubai! I've had such a hard time! After Liu Xiaoqian suddenly said this, there was no squeak. No matter how Xu Mubai asked, she cried vigorously.

All the people in the café looked at them. The strange eyes made Xu Mubai's heart furious.

"Xiao Qian! Don't cry! How many people are watching here? Otherwise, let's go out and forget it! Xu Mubai went to the cashier to pay the money, and after asking the waiter to help him pack, he pushed Liu Xiaoqian out of the café in a hurry.

As soon as she walked out of the café, Liu Xiaoqian muttered that she wanted to drink. Xu Mubai's head exploded when he heard it! It's just that he really can't miss Liu Xiaoqian, so he had to buy two bottles of beer at a nearby small supermarket. Who knows, Liu Xiaoqian didn't appreciate it at all, and pushed the wheelchair herself, and went to get several bottles of beer before she would stop. At that moment, Xu Mubai's heart was broken.

"Let's go! Xu Mubai! Let's drink and go. Liu Xiaoqian shouted, and asked Xu Mubai to push her and walk towards the nearby park. After Xu Mubai sighed helplessly, he had no choice but to comply.

.

At night, there are not many people coming and going in the park. Xu Mubai pushed Liu Xiaoqian and walked to a remote bench and sat down. As soon as Liu Xiaoqian stopped, she took out the beer, unscrewed the cap of the bottle by herself, and then kept pouring it into her mouth.

When Xu Mubai saw her drinking method, he was frightened on the spot, and quickly snatched the beer in her hand.

Liu Xiaoqian was suddenly annoyed, and yelled directly at him: "Xu Mubai! If you snatch my beer again, be careful that I turn my face! With that, she took out another bottle of beer and drank it to herself. Xu Mubai lost her temper completely, so she simply left her to fend for herself.

Liu Xiaoqian poured three bottles of beer in a row before she stopped. At this moment, she was already drunk.

"Xu Mubai! I'll tell you a secret. I'll tell you this secret! Liu Xiaoqian burped and said intermittently: "Do you know? Actually, my family used to run a coffee shop. At least until the age of ten. At that time, I was the little princess in the coffee shop, and I was pampered by everyone in the shop. I remember thinking about helping out. As a result, every time it was a disservice, adding to my parents I don't know how much trouble......"

Liu Xiaoqian suddenly fell into memories and kept telling him about her childhood. When it comes to the happy part, her whole face is like the warm sun of spring, exuding a soft light.

"However, when I was ten years old, my parents divorced for the sake of a woman who only had one side to each other. That year, my family was like a storm, washing away all the happiness and beauty. And my wonderful childhood is gone forever......"

"My dad followed the woman, my mom didn't want me anymore, and I was left at my grandmother's house like an abandoned grass. From that year on, my personality began to become withdrawn. I was timid, cowardly, and had low self-esteem, and every time I went out, when I looked up, I always felt that the sky was gray and I couldn't see any sunlight. ”

"My classmates didn't like me and bullied me all the time. No one to play with, no one to say a word to me. Every time I had PE class, I was always alone. Only my grandmother loved me like a baby. I sometimes think: If I didn't have such a grandmother, maybe I wouldn't be able to live a long time ago. ”

"However, the only grandmother who felt sorry for me also passed away a few years ago, and I was placed in foster care at my aunt's house. My aunt's family treated me badly, and if they were careless, they beat and scolded me. A lot of times, I thought: Why don't I go to heaven and find my grandmother. However, every time a thought comes to mind, my grandmother's kind smiling face will come to my mind. She told me softly: Child! You have to be strong! So, I started to study hard every day and night. For nothing else, just to leave this sad city one day earlier......" As he spoke, Liu Xiaoqian fell asleep in his arms unconsciously.

Xu Mubai never thought that such a quiet and kind girl would still have such a sad past. He gently wiped away the tears on Liu Xiaoqian's cheeks, and deep in his heart was like setting off a huge wave, and he couldn't calm down for a long time......
