In the city center, there is a wide road where there is a lot of traffic and everything seems to be in order.

It's summer vacation now, and the shopping malls on the left and right are crowded with people, and most of them are families of three shopping together.

However, the two young girls on the road are a little strange. One of them had snacks in his hand and was eating on the sidewalk without regard for his image, and the other had a shopping bag in his hand and a lot of bags on his shoulder.

"Hey, Chengxing, didn't you say you wanted to take the civil service exam? How's the preparation? Li Junru held a hamburger in one hand and a cola in the other, his mouth was full, and he said vaguely.

"What?" Su Chengxing filled the bag with both hands and walked calmly, "I have been preparing since my senior year, and I am waiting for graduation registration." Now that I've finally graduated, I'm just waiting to be admitted to the civil service and then show my skills. ”

Li Junru quickly finished eating what he was doing, threw it to the side neatly, and the garbage went into the trash can accurately: "Anyway, my dad asked me to bring you a message, if you really want to take the civil service exam, my dad can walk through the back door for you." As long as you pass the national examination, he will help you arrange a position with easier and good benefits, how about it? ”

Su Chengxing said casually: "You don't need your father's help, I can come by myself, don't you still believe me?" ”

"Hmm~ Of course not, I'm just helping my dad convey the words, don't think too much! But you can think about it, you know, my dad didn't walk through the back door for me. My dad wasn't that nice to me! Li Junru took the skewers from where he didn't know where to get them, and he had to eat them non-stop.

Su Chengxing didn't pay attention to her, but the look on his face was obviously cold, and he left with big strides.

"Huh! Wait for me! Don't go too fast, can't I not mention my dad? Chengxing, Chengxing, Su Chengxing! Wait a minute! As soon as Li Junru saw that Su Chengxing was leaving, he hurriedly finished eating the skewers in his hand, threw them into the trash can, and ran on his short legs.

Li Junru, who finally caught up with Su Chengxing, pulled her wrist, bent down and panted vigorously: "Don't do this!" That's all there is to you when I mention him. ”

Su Chengxing took Jun Ru's hand away, looked at the partner in front of him who had played with him since he was a child, and looked cold: "I told you a long time ago, don't mention him in front of me." It's been a long time, and I'm used to it. But I still can't let go! Li Junru, you always say that you understand me, but the truth is that you don't understand anything at all. You have to remember that I was with you just because you weren't involved in it. ”

After speaking, Su Chengxing put down the shopping bag on his body and walked away.

This is the entrance to the mall, and there is a fountain in front of it, and the fountain works during the day, and the water sometimes splashes on pedestrians, but they don't care, and they even want to be splashed.

Li Junru pursed her lips and stood by the pool in a daze, her face full of embarrassment.

Although she felt embarrassed, she really understood Chengxing very well in her heart. She used to be a lively and cheerful cute child, but the accident a few years ago has completely sealed her heart.

Since then, the expression on her face has become less rich, and the chill on her face and under her eyes has deepened day by day. She seems to have been isolated from the world, if it weren't for Aunt Su telling her to live well, I'm afraid she would not know whether she would be alive or dead.

She stood stupidly in place, her face still had the grease stains on her face from the hamburger kebab she had just eaten, and the water droplets on the top of her head kept dripping down, and she just stared blankly at Chengxing's departing back, isolated by the continuous water light, and her back looked so hazy.

"Squeak......" A car came to a sharp stop.

As soon as Su Chengxing came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing in the middle of the road.

"Are you looking for death? Ran to the middle of the road and was stunned, thinking that he had lived too long, didn't he? The owner of the car lowered the window and said impatiently. With that, he stepped on the gas pedal and left.

Su Chengxing hurriedly withdrew all his emotions in his heart, bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, I'm sorry!" ”

"Are you alright?" A boy suddenly pulled Su Chengxing's wrist.

Su Chengxing looked at him suspiciously, she didn't seem to know this person.

He stretched out his hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Su Chengxing, long time no see." ”

seemed to see the embarrassment on Su Chengxing's face, and he understood in seconds: "It seems that you don't remember me." Okay, let me introduce myself first, my name is Motomu Qiu. ”

Yuanmu Qiu, such a familiar name.

When she was a child, she lived in the compound. She remembered that there seemed to be an Uncle Yuan.

That Uncle Yuan is very gentle, although he looks a little fierce, but he is really good to himself.

It's just that she remembers that when she was six or seven years old, that Uncle Yuan moved out, and I heard that it seemed to be promoted, who knows what was going on.

Yuan Muqiu looked at Su Chengxing carefully with a relieved face: "It seems that you can live alone!" Let's go to the café over there and sit down. ”

Su Chengxing hesitated for a moment and then walked along.

There is a café not far from the road, which is very well decorated. However, Su Chengxing has lived in this city for so many years, and he has never seen this café, so it should be newly opened for a while.

But she didn't hear any news either, did she? It stands to reason that the people in their hospital are often the most aware of these messages.

Along the way, Yuanmu Qiu chattered a lot.

He kept talking about some things that happened when he was a child, saying that Chengxing had been clamoring to marry Brother Mu Qiu when she was a child.

Su Chengxing listened quietly, but after hearing it, she felt more and more embarrassed, and even she, who claimed to be cheeky, blushed.

In fact, the distance is not far, but because they have just had a summer vacation, there are more people who come out to play, so Su Chengxing and the others have been delayed a lot of time on the road.

The name of the café is "Isochronous", which is a strange and literary name.

As soon as Su Chengxing stepped into this store, he felt that this store was very different from others.

It's almost the hottest time of the year, and as soon as she enters the store, she feels as if she's stepping into another world, cool, and different from the kind of coolness that comes with the air conditioner on.

There is no mess of dazzling light lines here, it is dull, and there are a few bright rays of light in it.

There are only a few tables in the store, but the materials of the tables and stools are extremely high-end. High-end means expensive.

There are bookshelves all around, and there are a lot of books on the shelves, and they are not the empty shell decoration of other stores, but real books.

Su Chengxing took out a book from the bookshelf with great interest, but felt a little awkward: "This book should be out of print!" The boss here is so generous here? Aren't you afraid of losing it? ”

After turning around in his mind, Su Chengxing realized that something was wrong there, a classical thread-bound ancient book appeared in a coffee shop, and it was a real ancient book.

"Don't be afraid." Yuanmu Qiu said with a smile.

Turning around, Su Chengxing sat down with a book in his hand, raised his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "I haven't seen this shop here before, why did a café suddenly pop up?" And, didn't you move to another place? How do you know so much about this place, you know about a shop I don't even know? ”

Yuan Muqiu didn't answer, but started making tea on the table.

The craft of making tea, to be honest, Su Chengxing doesn't understand, she just thinks that Yuanmu Qiuyun is light and smooth, and the appearance of making tea naturally is really beautiful.

In a trance, Su Chengxing actually saw a crescent-white robe on Yuan Muqiu's body. She shook her head slightly, secretly laughing at herself for being a nymphomaniac.

It's just, doesn't it feel weird? In a café, two guests came, one of them watched quietly, and the other actually made his own tea.

After a long time, Yuan Muqiu put down the teapot and curled the corners of his lips: "I heard that you want to take the civil service exam?" ”

Su Chengxing recovered from his daze at this time, completely ignoring his own problems and avoiding them: "Yes, I started preparing last year. ”

Yuan Muqiu slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Chengxing, who subconsciously took it.

Got the warm and cold teacup, Su Chengxing came back to her senses, she frowned, a little unhappy, she has always been a dislike of tea, but today she was in a trance.

Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.

Yuan Muqiu said leisurely: "Don't worry, you don't have to prepare so early." ”

A mysterious smile crossed his lips, and he said meaningfully: "You can definitely become a civil servant." ”

His tone was very affirmative, and almost instantly, he gave Su Chengxing, who was restless because of this matter at this time, a huge confidence. He must be right.

The anxiety in his heart disappeared all of a sudden, Su Chengxing let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gently, showing a warm smile as if he was infected, and said slowly: "With your guarantee, I naturally don't have to worry." Anyway, even if I haven't taken the test, I can find you through the back door. ”

Yuan Muqiu sat on the chair with a smug expression, held up the bottom of the cup with his left hand and held the cup with his right hand in an elegant posture, and gently tasted tea.

It wasn't until Su Chengxing took the second sip that she realized what she was doing. Although the taste of this tea is good, it ......

"Mu Qiu, I don't like tea." Su Chengxing gently put the teacup on the table and said lightly.

Yuan Muqiu smiled slightly, not surprised by Chengxing's words, but continued to taste the tea: "Taste it, maybe I will never have a chance to drink this tea in the future." After all, you don't hate the taste of this tea, do you? ”

His tone seemed normal and ordinary, as if he was saying it casually, but when he listened carefully to the content and the tone of his voice, he felt a little weird, and he meant something.

Su Chengxing looked at the man in front of him who exuded a warm breath, and only felt a chill emerge from the bottom of his heart.

A stranger who had never met before said a few words softly, Su Chengxing actually believed his words and followed him.

I came to a café that revealed a strange atmosphere, and I drank tea that I had never drunk before.

Su Chengxing was a little chilled, she was not usually such an unwary person. Why did she trust the man in front of her so easily this time?

Her chaotic brain kicks in, and she suddenly realizes that something is clearly wrong with her state from the start.

An uncle who has long been forgotten, Su Chengxing actually remembered his long-forgotten uncle just because he said that his name was Yuan Muqiu?

All of this, now it seems, seems so weird, like this café that suddenly appeared, every place reveals something strange.
