Chapter 55: Coffee
Yang Meiyue: "Sister, that stupid head won't hurt you!"
Lin Xue asked, "Why not?"
Yang Meiyue: "My mother and I both saw stupid big heads when we were children, this kind of ghost will not take the initiative to hurt people, their personality is relatively gentle."
Lin Xue: "Is this a big-headed ghost?"
Yang Meiyue nodded: "Bingo!" Right! It's a big-headed ghost. My mom told me stories about stupid big heads when I was a kid, do you want to hear it? ”
Lin Xue nodded: "Wow, you can talk about it!"
Yang Meiyue coughed, cleared her throat and began to say: "Once upon a time there was a pair of brothers, when the two of them separated, the elder brother kept all the good things for himself, and only gave the younger brother a small amount of land and an old cow, the younger brother's old cow can talk, tell the younger brother what to plant every year, the younger brother's life is getting better and better, and the elder brother spends every day drinking, the days are getting worse and worse, looking at the happy appearance of the younger brother's family, the elder brother meditates with his head every day, how can the younger brother live better than himself, so the head is getting bigger and bigger, and he has become a big-headed ghost. My mom told me that stupid big heads should be made of lazy people, and when you meet them, just run quickly. ”
Lin Xue looked at Yang Meiyue's amber eyes and said, "Well, the stupid big head looks really strange."
Yang Meiyue nodded: "Yes, when I see them, I always feel a little scary, and their heads are too big!"
Lin Xue: "You haven't told me just now, what does your mother do?"
Yang Meiyue quickly replied: "My mother is a housewife!"
Lin Xue smiled slightly: "Is it a full-time wife?" So happy. ”
Yang Meiyue: "Anyway, she is doing housework and cooking at home, by the way, what did your parents do before?"
Lin Xue hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "My dad used to make molds, and my mom used to be the foreman of the restaurant."
Yang Meiyue: "Then are you living alone now?"
Lin Xue: "Yes."
Yang Meiyue grabbed Lin Xue's arm and led her into Dora's coffee house: "How about I go to your house tonight?" Wouldn't you be scared if you slept alone? ”
Lin Xue's big eyes widened: "What? You want to come and live with me? ”
Yang Meiyue's eyes crooked: "Can't you?" I've never been to a girl's house. ”
Lin Xue thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, it's just that your parents will agree to let you come to live in my house?"
Yang Meiyue: "I will agree, I don't stay for many days, just for one night."
Lin Xue: "Then you ask your parents first, and then come to live with me."
Yang Meiyue nodded and said, "You wait, I'll call my dad."
The two sat down on the small black sofa, Lin Xue took a drink list, and Yang Meiyue put the phone next to her left ear: "Hey, Dad, can I want to sleep in the same school tonight?" …… It's a female classmate, it's really nice to be in the city center, thank you Dad, then you and my mom say, oh, um, bye-bye! ”
Lin Xue pushed the drink list in front of Yang Meiyue and asked, "Your father, agreed?"
Yang Meiyue picked up the drink list: "Oh, he agreed." Her nails are painted with pale pink nail polish, and there are many beautiful rhinestones of rectangles and squares stuck to the nail surfaces.
Yang Meiyue turned her head to the waiter standing on the side and said, "I want a glass of macchiato, Lin Xue, what do you want?"
Lin Xue had only drunk Nestle's instant coffee, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Yang Meiyue's white and tender hands moved restlessly on the black table: "Then I recommend you to have a cappuccino, right?"
Lin Xue nodded, she put the bag of Wangzi small steamed buns in her hand into the white bag, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: It's so dangerous Yang Meiyue is sitting opposite her now, if she sits next to me, she will be discovered!
Through the soft sunlight spilling in through the glass window, Lin Xue saw the appearance of Liu Ruxi in the bag, his lying in the bag, his eyes half-closed, revealing a lazy wind that had just woken up.
Lin Xue couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw him like this, but she held back stiffly, she put Wangzai's little steamed bun next to Liu Ruxi's mouth, and touched his little head, signaling him to eliminate the little steamed bun.
Liu Ruxi's eyes were completely open, and he winked at Lin Xue three times, signaling that he understood.
Lin Xue closed the zipper and put the white bag on the sofa on her right.
Yang Meiyue seemed to think of something, her right hand clenched into a fist, knocked on the table and said, "Lin Xue, last time you fell into the river, did your cousin leave after he took you home?" Also, why haven't you dragged him into the group for so long? ”
Lin Xue thought in her heart: Who told me to lie and deceive Yang Meiyue? When I talk to her now, I don't dare to tell the truth.
Lin Xue rubbed his palm against palm and said: "Yes, after he took me home, he left, as for why he didn't drag him into the group, the most important thing is because he has been very busy recently, I sent a WeChat message to ask him, if you want to drag him into the group, he hasn't replied to me yet, I don't dare to drag him into the group."
Yang Meiyue smiled a little: "Do you know? When I see your cousin with you, I will think that you and him seem to be quite a good match, hey~ Maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, you are cousins, it's impossible to be together, in the past, cousins could get married! Not now. ”
Lin Xue laughed dryly and said, "Haha, in this way, I didn't think about it so much."
The waiter in white clothes and black pants brought two cups of coffee on a tray, both coffee cups were the same white porcelain cups, Yang Meiyue's macchiado floated a round flower made of milk foam, and Lin Xue's cappuccino floated a lovely leaf.
After the waiter retired, Yang Meiyue said to Lin Xue: "Macchiato, add two tablespoons of milk foam to the espresso to make a cup of macchiato." Macchiato means imprint, brand, in Italian, symbolizing the imprint of sweetness. Cappuccino, Italian coffee mixed with equal parts espresso and steam frothy milk. The color of the coffee is like that of the monks of the cappuccino church who put a turban over their dark brown tunics, hence the name of the coffee. ”
Lin Xue's eyes moved away from these two cups of delicate coffee, and she looked up at Yang Meiyue: "You seem to know a lot about these coffees, I have only drunk Nestle's instant coffee, and I don't know much about these things."
Yang Meiyue picked up the small spoon next to the porcelain plate, put it in the coffee cup and stirred: "Actually, I didn't understand it before, these are what Liang Fan told me."
On the black table, there were several comic books, Lin Xue took a copy of Conan and flipped through it casually, and asked, "How did you and Liang Fan meet?"
Yang Meiyue didn't stir the cup of coffee again, she smiled a little sweetly: "I was in the same class as him in elementary school, and he was also in the same school in junior high school.
Lin Xue lay on the table and cushioned her chin with the back of her hand: "How long have you been chasing him?" Since when did you start chasing him? ”
Yang Meiyue: "I fell in love with him when I was in the third year of junior high school, and I have been chasing him since then, and after graduating from junior high school, he finally agreed to be with me."
Lin Xue: "I see, I hope the two of you can go to the end."
Yang Meiyue sighed and said: "During the time I was with him, I always felt that he was like a gust of wind, I couldn't catch it, I always felt that I couldn't figure out his character, but I was deeply attracted to him."
Lin Xue took a comic magazine and began to flip through it casually: "Then you will go to college in the future, what should you do?" Will you follow him to that city? ”
Yang Meiyue shook her head with some distress: "I don't know, I heard that his parents are going to send him abroad to study in college, and my father also wants to get me abroad, my parents and his parents are friends, but my parents never reveal their family affairs to me, and I don't know if I can be in the same city as him when I am in college."
Lin Xue: "Although I haven't been in love, I can still understand your current mood, let's study hard together, if you read the book well, maybe you can go to the same university as Liang Fan."
Yang Meiyue looked at the cup of macchiato and said a little frustratedly: "I have no talent in learning, and Liang Fan's grades are only at the middle and upper levels, I think no matter how hard I try, I won't get good grades in the exam, so it's better to relax myself, play when I should play, and sleep when I should sleep."
Cappuccino smelled very good, Lin Xue drank two sips in a row, when she drank the first sip, she tasted the sweetness and softness of the milk foam, and when she drank the second sip, the original bitterness and richness of the coffee beans appeared in her mouth.
Lin Xue said: "I just want to give you a suggestion, so that it will be more convenient for you to walk in the future, you are in charge of your life, just be happy."
Yang Meiyue spread out the palm of her right hand and said to Lin Xue, "You bring your mobile phone, I'll help you connect to wifi."
Lin Xue obediently handed over her white domestic mobile phone to Yang Meiyue.
Yang Meiyue quickly pressed a few buttons, and she clicked east and west, and said to Lin Xue, "Okay, I've already pulled your cousin in."
Lin Xue's lips opened slightly: "Oh my God, why are you so fast?" I didn't even ask him! What if he doesn't like to go in? ”
Yang Meiyue scooped some coffee with a small spoon and put it in her mouth, she chirped, "No, your cousin is so good, he will definitely not blame you."
She put the white mobile phone into Lin Xue's hand and began to leisurely taste coffee
Lin Xue glanced at the time, it was already more than one o'clock, the phone suddenly vibrate, grandma sent him a WeChat message, Lin Xue quickly clicked on it, and grandma wrote a text message: "The transcendence ceremony went smoothly, the layman told me that he counted Peihua's soul, and he once pestered you last night, he summoned Peihua's soul back, and asked more than a dozen laymen to chant mantras on her corpse, Xiaoxue, do you know?" Her body has been frozen, so the color must not be good-looking, your eldest uncle, second uncle told me, after those laymen recited the sutra to her for an hour, her corpse actually became ruddy and soft, and it looked like a healthy and healthy person sleeping there, and now she has been cremated, and your uncle and second uncle are going to put her ashes in Xishan in a few days to bury them. Grandma told you that the main thing is to make you feel at ease, and the layman told me that you were very scared last night, and he asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry about it tonight, sleep well, Peihua's soul has left here and gone to a good place. ”
Lin Xue looked at this large paragraph of words and felt a little strange, grandma couldn't use pinyin, she could only write this paragraph by hand, why would she rather write so many words than use phonetics?
She sent a text message back to her grandmother: "Oh, okay, I see, I wasn't scared last night. Grandma, why didn't you voice me? ”
Two minutes later, my grandmother replied with a text message to Lin Xue: "My throat was fine this morning, but in the afternoon I suddenly felt that my throat was very uncomfortable, and now I can only speak very quietly, and others can hardly hear it, I am afraid that if I send you a voice, you will not be able to hear what I say, so I will send you these words."
Lin Xue: "Grandma, why did you suddenly do this?" It's weird, I'll go back and see you next week, and hopefully your throat will get better soon. ”
Grandma replied to her: "Xiaoxue, grandma welcomes you to come to me at any time, I won't bother you, go to class well, bye."
Lin Xue replied to her with two words: "Bye-bye." A cute smiley face was added to the back.
A tall and thin figure pushed open the glass door and walked into the "Dora Coffee House", as if she had a heart, Yang Meiyue turned her head to look at him and smiled: "Fan Fan is here."
Liang Fan, with an "um" sound, he looked at Lin Xue and nodded.
Lin Xue smiled politely at him.
Yang Meiyue pulled Liang Fan to sit down, and she leaned her head on Liang Fan's left upper arm: "Fanfan, what do you want to drink?"
Liang Fan glanced at the drink list and said to the waiter standing on the side, "Have a glass of lemonade."
The waiter answered, turned to leave, Yang Meiyue pouted and said, "You're so bored, you want lemonade every time you come here!"
Liang Fan glanced at Yang Meiyue, he touched the top of her head but smiled silently.
Lin Xue looked at the handsome man and woman in front of her, feeling as if she had become a light bulb, she was a little embarrassed, Lin Xue lowered her head and studied the Conan comic in her hand.
After Yang Meiyue came over to Liang Fan, she began to chatter: "Fanfan, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Fanfan, I want to go to your house tomorrow to play, is that okay? Let's go to the park on Thursday, shall we? Don't you want me? Don't look at your phone, how can I look good on my phone! ”
Liang Fan said to Yang Meiyue a little helplessly: "Xiaomei, don't make trouble, okay?" Let me rest quietly, I'm tired. ”
Yang Meiyue asked him, "You feel very tired, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Fan shook his head and said, "It's okay."
