Chapter 14: Sunflowers
[Yi Smile Coffee Shop: She cuts flowers, quiet and charming! 】
When she was about to arrive, she looked around happily, this area does not belong to the lively area, and there is a big shopping mall at a glance, but it is estimated that it will be a kilometer or two away. There are many uneven buildings on both sides, but they are not very high-end, and there should be quite a lot of occupants.
After a while, the plaque of Yi Smile Coffee Shop appeared, and several white art words were arced on the coffee-colored plaque, subtle and elegant. On the far right of the plaque is a smile motif that adds a bit of playfulness.
Pushing the door in, Ai Shanni has a panoramic view of the interior of the café, with the lobby on the right for customers, the bar in the middle, and the bread-making area on the left.
"Welcome!" The people in the bar immediately shouted.
Ai Shangni walked over, looked left and right, and didn't see Duan Yiqiao's figure.
Haven't you come to the store yet?
Or won't it come at night?
"What do you want to drink?"
A girl with long hair mixed with a few strands of purple hair gave her an order, and her voice was cold.
She looked at the other party, a pair of watery eyes on her well-defined face, revealing a bit of pity, and a figure like a willow's thin waist.
The girl should be Duan Yiqiao's sister Duan Chuntong, who heard her roommates say that day that a few strands of her hair are purple.
In fact, Duan Chuntong was also looking at Ai Shangni, and he saw her in the school forum and circle of friends and recognized her.
However, neither of them greeted each other.
She didn't want to drink anything, and she wanted to order a dozen drinks for him on the go, but it wouldn't be a waste if she didn't know who to give them to.
"A cup of lemon tea, go to the ice. Thank you! ”
In order to wait for him, she had to order a drink, and she couldn't occupy someone's place in vain.
I saw a stack of flyers next to it, "I'll take one of this!" ”
"Please!"
She took one, looked at it twice, and stuffed it into her satchel.
There are quite a lot of guests, and some people are chatting on dates with laughter; There are also people who focus on writing; There are even people fighting in the game with their mobile phones.
There were only two or three empty tables left in a dozen tables, and she sat down at the table where the door was most easily visible.
If you look closely, there is a bathroom on the far right, and there are two black-framed windows in the middle of the glass wall of the hall.
There is a three-tiered wooden shelf at the bottom, where all kinds of small potted plants are placed and cute, and on the top are three vases of different styles, all with flowers.
Further to the left of the bread area, there seems to be a kitchen and a dining room. The whole coffee shop is not as big as Zuozuo Cafe, but it is not small. Due to the different customer groups, Zuozuo Cafe only deals in coffee and desserts, which will be relatively more upscale.
She observed the staff at the restaurant, and there was a tall, thin boy at the bar, estimated to be several years older than her.
In the bread area is a middle-aged lady with a long ponytail, with a kind face, it should be Shen Ruyun. There is also a girl in her early 20s, who is not tall, not fat or thin, with a well-proportioned body.
The big boy at the bar brought lemon tea to Ai Shangni, "Please use it slowly!" ”
"Thank you!"
Bored, she turned on her phone, looked at the door a few seconds later, didn't see a familiar figure, and continued to look down at her phone, repeating this action constantly.
Suddenly, a face that I had seen appeared, Ye Enna.
Forced to look at each other, she was startled, and the other party's very unfriendly gaze made her not want to continue to look at each other, so she lowered her head and pretended to look at her phone.
Who would have thought that Ye Enna actually walked to the empty seat opposite her and sat down, sitting sideways, her legs overlapped, and her gaze fell on her impartially.
She had to raise her head, but she still spoke politely, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Ye Enna didn't answer immediately, her eyes stared at her coldly, and slowly, her eyes became disdainful.
The first time they met, I didn't look closely, but now that they are close to each other, Ye Enna has to admit that she is indeed as rumored, not only beautiful, but also unique in temperament.
After a long time, he spoke, "You just came, some things may not be understood, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I need to remind you that Yiqiao is mine, please don't go near him." ”
Hey? How did it become hers? I heard Situ Bingling say that the two have never confirmed their relationship from beginning to end, and they are not boyfriend and girlfriend.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"I don't understand, right, then I'll be direct, if you dare to get close to Yiqiao, don't blame me for being rude."
Her threat, Ai Shangni is not afraid, "Your unkindness can't stop what I want to do." ”
Ye Enna's eyes were instantly sharp, "You ....."
At this time, Duan Yiqiao walked into the store, and Duan Chuntong, who was at the bar, gave him a look and asked him to look at the two people facing each other.
Ai Shangni's appearance made Duan Yiqiao a little surprised, but when the two appeared at the same time, his mood couldn't help but sink.
"Why are you here?" Flat tone.
As soon as Ye Enna heard the voice, she quickly flattened her overlapping legs and looked at him, "You're here in the store." ”
"Looking for me?"
Ye Enna, who came to find Duan Yiqiao, didn't expect to meet Ai Shangni, and she was very unhappy that she didn't even have the interest to stay.
So, I made an excuse, "I'm here to buy bread and I'll have breakfast tomorrow." ”
"What do you want? I'll give it to you. ”
"No need, I'll just find Aunt Yun."
In front of Ai Shangni, Duan Yiqiao's refusal to stay, Ye Enna became even more depressed, her face changed suddenly, and she walked straight past him towards the bread area.
Duan Yiqiao walked towards Ai Shangni, "Why are you here?" ”
Duan Chuntong, who was at the bar, kept looking at them, and she could hear that this greeting was much more pleasant than the one when she first entered the store, and besides, her brother's joy was already overflowing, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
And Ai Shangni saw the person who had been waiting for a long time, and the joy was not hidden, and his eyes were full of hot eyes.
"I'll take a look." As he spoke, he raised a big smile.
He sat down and looked at the cup of lemon tea as if it hadn't been moved, "Why don't you drink it, don't you like it?" ”
"I don't want to drink it."
From the moment she saw him come in, she never took her eyes off him.
She wanted to look at him, see him clearly, see through him.
"And what do you want to drink? I'll do it. ”
His body was filled with her fire-like gaze again and again, warm and focused, containing a strong longing.
And he, tonight, also saw a very different her from usual.
"Or coffee, I want to drink the coffee you made, cappuccino, half a cup."
"Half a cup? Afraid of not being able to sleep? Do you want to switch to another drink? ”
She shook her head slightly, "No, I just don't want to drink too much, just cappuccino." ”
"Then you sit and wait."
"By the way, there are no scissors, I'll help you trim the flowers in those three vases." She gestured to the wooden frame.
"Maybe those flowers will be cleaned up by my mother after the shop closes at night, and the flower shop next door will bring some new ones, so don't worry about them."
"Isn't it going to be a few hours before the store closes?"
Insisting on getting it, she followed him to the bar, got a pair of scissors, and went to the wooden shelf.
He also watched as he began to make coffee, pruning the flowers, and saw that she took out all the flowers in the vase.
The first was a smoky grey European-style glass bottle, and she first picked up three fully opened light-colored roses and cut off some of their stems, which were only about 5 centimeters above the bottle. Then there are two or three half-opened ones of different colors and five or six unopened ones, and the height is higher than the three fully opened.
The second is the tallest waist-cinching clear glass bottle with a large mouth. She first inserted a number of emerald green rich bamboos as a background. Take two or three more fully opened lilies, cut off a little stem, and be shorter than Fugui bamboo. Then there are two or three unopened or half-opened lilies, and the height is in the middle of the first two. Finally, insert some of the shortest full- or half-open carnations and roses, arranged in layers.
The third is a white low porcelain vase, about a palm's height. She didn't know what to put after looking at it for a long time, because the rest of the flowers were no longer good. In the end, she only released two fully opened roses, one white one that only reached the mouth of the bottle, and one with pink leaves that were more than half a bottle taller, one tall and one short.
Duan Yiqiao, who had already made her coffee, didn't bother her, just sat quietly and watched her cut and pick leaves, very skillful.
Ai Shangni put away the flowers she didn't want, and looked at the three refurbished vases with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a girl stepped forward and looked at her with envious eyes, "You are so amazing, the flowers of the three vases have been rearranged by you, as if they have been replaced with new ones." The first one is staggered, the second is layered and full, and the third is simple and beautiful. How can the hands be so skillful. ”
"Listening to you say that, you should also know how to play flowers?"
"I'm stupid and don't understand, I can't learn all the time, I can only watch, hehe~ I just recorded a video and can I post it on the Internet?"
"Uh....." Ai Shangni looked a little embarrassed.
The girl hurriedly explained: "I didn't slap your face, and I only posted on Moments, okay?" ”
"That's fine."
"Thank you, the hands are really skillful. Bye-bye~" The girl beckoned to Ai Shangni and returned to her seat.
"Bye-bye~" Ai Shangni also returned to his seat.
Duan Yiqiao took the scissors she handed over, "Tired, take a sip of coffee." ”
"Just cut those flowers, how can you get tired."
"I didn't expect you to be a flower artist."
She smiled faintly, "I've learned a little." ”
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw the white heart-shaped latte art on the coffee, and she had seen it so many times that she didn't feel it.
But tonight's heart-shaped latte art, she inexplicably felt so romantic, and the floating heart-shaped latte flower seemed to float on her heart.
It's more like her heart is rippling!
"What's wrong?" He saw that she kept her head down.
"Nope." I took a sip of it, it was sweet and bitter, and the wonderful feeling of fusion was silky. But, "Did you deliberately make it a little sweeter?" ”
"Awesome, Brother Xiao Qi said that you are a master of coffee, it seems that it is true." A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, albeit shallowly.
Seeing him smile for the first time, she asked, "Who chose the name of your shop?" ”
"My mom."
"Oh, then I think your mother would like you to smile more."
"Maybe."
