CHAPTER XVI
Since I knew Xu Yinyao's heart for Xingyuan, I have no expectations for White Day. Whether it was Shen Yunhao's good treat, or Yang Tao's promised gift, it couldn't make me interested. However, life isn't always so cruel, and it occasionally gives us a taste of sweetness after hitting us mercilessly. The wait seemed so long, but I didn't have it. It's March 14 in the blink of an eye. With Yang Fan's experience, it is not difficult for Xu Yinyao to be so white as to please us as Xingyuan's good friends. As soon as the first class was over, Xu Yinyao hurried up to us and kindly invited everyone in the string and wind orchestra to his mother's coffee shop. In order to avoid embarrassment, he also invited Fang Zheng, Yang Fan and Yang Tao and other good buddies to accompany him. Except for Fang Zheng, the invited boys were happy to go to the appointment. After all, Xu Yinyao's proposal just solved the trouble of returning the gift for them. Come and don't be rude, I think, only Fang Zheng can act so brazenly and not according to convention. Although Xu Yinyao's move won our hearts, it also angered many girls. First, not all the girls invited gave him Valentine's Day gifts, such as Mei Fangxun, she didn't particularly want to give chocolates to anyone, she only participated in it to follow the school tradition, as for who was given that day and who was missed, it is estimated that she can't remember. What's ridiculous is that even she doesn't know anything about it, but some people with a heart see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts. A few girls insisted that Mei Fangxun did not give Xu Yinyao chocolates, so they were not qualified to accept Xu Yinyao's return gift. Second, Xu Yinyao's return gift for the girls who were not invited was just a small bag of beautifully packaged cookies, although those cookies were also from his mother's coffee shop, but they were not made by his mother, so it is no wonder that they were indignant about such discriminatory treatment. Fortunately, even though they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, when facing Xu Yinyao, who had a sincere smile, they couldn't blame him, so they had to reluctantly compromise. Just when we thought that the matter would end there, we didn't expect a spoiler to pop up.
"I want to go too!" Wang Sitong wrapped one hand around Xu Yinyao's arm and begged with extreme disgust: "For the sake of our teammates, okay?" ”
Wang Sitong's words rekindled the hope of those girls who had given up. They kept talking and whispering, apparently intent on emulating. They all know that Xu Yinyao is a good person, and he can't help but ask others, if everyone rushes up, they may be able to succeed.
Looking at Wang Sitong while blinking his innocent eyes, he didn't forget to get closer and closer to Xu Yinyao, almost hitting him, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine. is such an excellent person as Xingyuan, she still dares to openly provoke, let alone me? If the opponent is me, I'm afraid she will be even more unscrupulous, and she may be blatantly robbed of the ...... Thinking of this, I secretly gasped. No matter how good things are given to me, I can't keep them, and it's better not to give them in the first place than to lose them...... There are some things that you can't force on...... When I came back to my senses, I found that Xu Yinyao had gotten rid of Wang Sitong's entanglement. Although I don't know how Xu Yinyao did it, it can be seen from Xingyuan's happy smile that he deserves all her trust.
Most of the girls are good-looking and well-versed in the way of observing words and feelings. Seeing that even Wang Sitong returned in vain, they naturally won't be bored. Besides, it's not worth offending the string orchestra and the wind ensemble for such a trivial matter. So, before the class bell rang, the girls dispersed one after another.
As soon as school ended, Shen Yunhao went to the commissary to buy me a box of ice cream I designated as a Valentine's Day gift, and then went home silently. I'm very surprised that Xu Yinyao didn't invite him to the party, you need to know that he is one of the few people who can make Xu Yinyao really admire. Later, Yang Tao quietly told me that Shen Yunhao, like him, had never been accustomed to our flamboyant style, so Xu Yinyao never dared to mention these things to him.
At the end of the words, Yang Tao didn't forget to boast: "But not everyone is as easy to talk and get along with as me." ”
I glanced at him with contempt and disdain, and finally couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe no one will believe that while there is still a little sadness and regret in my heart, I can still sincerely wish Xingyuan and Xu Yinyao their relationship. But if you can also see the new world I saw after meeting Xingyuan, it is not difficult for you to understand my mood at that time.
Xu Yinyao's mother's coffee shop is not far from the school, only about 20 minutes on foot. We talked and laughed all the way, and before we knew it, we had reached our destination. Although the café is open to the public, it is not conspicuous, and most passers-by will think that it is just an ordinary house, only the sign hanging on the half-open European-style carved iron door reveals its identity. According to Xu Yinyao, his mother has always retained this low-key business style in order to create a comfortable and quiet environment for guests. She doesn't care about the number of customers, she just wants every guest who comes to the store to get a moment of rest. I think that Xu Yinyao's indisputable personality is probably from his mother.
The moment I followed Xingyuan into the iron gate, the scenery presented in front of me made me lose my mind instantly. It was a waist-high field of roses, and it was spring, and the field was crowded with budding roses. As can be seen from the buds of different sizes and colors, there are no less than ten varieties of roses here. The roses have not yet bloomed, and this flower field is already beautiful, and when the roses are all in bloom, it is hard to imagine what a breathtaking fairyland-like picture it will be. In the middle of the flower field, a path was opened for people to walk, and Xu Yinyao led us forward while introducing us to the fruit trees planted on both sides of the rose field. He promised that when the fruit was ripe in the fall, he would invite us back to eat freshly picked fruit.
At the end of the flower field, the café is a three-storey beige bungalow, still designed in a classic European style, with light brown window frames and railings dotted with bright green potted plants. The coffee shop has a wide spacing between the tables, which makes the indoor and outdoor seats combined less than sixty. According to Xu Yinyao, this small bungalow was designed and built by his father according to his mother's preferences, and what is more romantic is that the original intention of opening this coffee shop was just to fulfill one of his mother's dreams. At that time, I didn't know what cost and management were, but I simply longed for this kind of life, blindly believing that as long as I wanted to do it, I would definitely be able to do it. I look forward to being like Xu Yinyao's mother in the future, owning my own coffee shop, drinking coffee and eating snacks in my spare time. Although I don't know anything about the esoteric science of business, I still have some basic common sense. As Xingyuan's friend, I should know how to avoid suspicion. Private contact is avoidable, not only with Xu Yinyao, but also with his relatives. But that doesn't mean I have to give up on my dream, I believe that as long as I tell Xingyuan about this idea, she will definitely help me go to Xu Yinyao's mother for advice, and when she understands enough about this plan, maybe she can give me advice. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly laugh. The only problem now is that Xu Yinyao's mother may not be easy to get along with, isn't it often said that excellent people have weird tempers? However, my concern is obviously unwarranted and foolish.
Probably through the glass on the door, I saw our group, and before we could pass through the flower field, Xu Yinyao's mother was already standing in front of the door to greet us. We are not surprised that she is beautiful, but the important thing is that she has a pair of eyes that are as gentle as water and speaks softly, which is very similar to Xingyuan. I think only an owner like her can make the coffee shop exude such a warm atmosphere. Xu Yinyao's mother arranged us in a private room on the third floor by the window, which is undoubtedly the best location in the store. As soon as everyone sat down, Xu Yinyao helped the waiter bring drinks and snacks to us. It seems that he is not going to ask us what we are going to eat, but is going to bring out everything in the store to entertain us. Whether it was based on his usual generosity or the vanity he wanted to show in front of Xingyuan, in short, this move undoubtedly won the favor of everyone. Perhaps, Xingyuan's joy was no longer enough to satisfy him. Just as everyone was laughing and eating, he whispered a few words to Xingyuan, and then silently walked out of the box. Curiosity is strong, and we are naturally not willing to wait. Without much effort, we asked out what was going on from Xingyuan's mouth. It turned out that Xu Yinyao was going to pick up a White Day gift for Xingyuan. Not afraid of other people's jokes, we have always been obsessed with the cake made by Xu Yinyao's mother, so everyone hopes that the gift will be a cake, but we also know in our hearts that since it was specially prepared by Xu Yinyao, it can never be just a cake. Soon, the mystery was revealed. Xu Yinyao held a bouquet of white roses in one hand and a wooden box tied with a lilac ribbon in the other, and walked to Xingyuan with a red face.
"To you, Happy Holidays!" Xu Yinyao smiled and handed the two gifts to Xingyuan, his movements were slightly stiff.
"Thank you!" Seeing the bouquets, Xingyuan was surprised and delighted, and quickly stood up and took them.
Seeing that Xingyuan was only concerned about admiring the bouquet, Xu Yinyao began to get anxious. "You...... Don't you open it and take a look? ”
"Can it be opened?" Xingyuan winked at Xu Yinyao.
As a good friend of Xingyuan, I naturally know that Xingyuan thinks that it is very impolite to open gifts in front of others.
"Of course!" Xu Yinyao immediately replied. "Do you want me to help you with the flowers?"
Xu Yinyao's look full of anticipation was very interesting, and Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, thank you!"
The ribbon is tied with a bow and untied with a light pull. While Xingyuan carefully opened the lid of the box, we all eagerly leaned over to get a sneak peek. It turned out that the box was filled with colorful round cakes.
"It's macarons!" Xingyuan exclaimed softly.
"So much!" "That's an exaggeration!" A series of exclamations rippled from Xingyuan's side.
"There are ninety-six flavors." Xu Yinyao smiled shyly: "You taste it, I'll give you another taste if you like it." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, I don't know when she'll finish this box." At this time, Xu Yinyao's mother walked in with a pot of lemonade. "I only make three flavors of macarons every day, and this fool pesters me alive and dead in order to please you, and I have to make all the flavors for him in one day, and I don't think about whether you can eat it or not." After speaking, Xu Yinyao's mother smiled kindly at Xingyuan.
"Auntie is right, there are so many, where can I finish eating......" Xingyuan fixed her eyes on the macarons in the box, and a trace of tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Xingyuan's emotion and choking were unexpected by Xu Yinyao, and for a while, he was a little overwhelmed. "It doesn't matter if you can't finish eating! Or...... I'm going to give them to everyone. I'll bring you one every day, and you'll be able to taste it all in ninety-six days." ”
"A word?" Xingyuan looked up at Xu Yinyao.
"It's a deal." Xu Yinyao nodded solemnly.
In the midst of everyone's coaxing, Xingyuan smiled extremely sweet and happy.
With such outstanding beauty and intelligence, such a spoiling boyfriend, and such an understanding future mother-in-law, I think no one can deny that Xingyuan is the luckiest girl in the world.
