The 24-hour convenience store has three floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

Tables and chairs for resting are placed along the windows for customers to use.

Ruan Yan was sitting in the innermost corner of the convenience store, facing the small alley next to the convenience store, and his eyes fell on a small flower shop across the alley.

The floor-to-ceiling window on her right side was the busy main street, but Ruan Yan's vision was not distracted by the traffic and pedestrians on the main street, and she kept looking intently at the colorful bouquet in front of the flower shop.

There was a cup of instant coffee in front of her, and there was a bitter taste in the steaming heat.

At this time, Ruan Yan didn't cry anymore, his heart was surprisingly calm, and he was constantly overflowing with bitterness.

So she brewed the most bitter instant coffee, intending to suppress the bitterness with bitterness.

Her attention was so focused that she didn't notice anyone approaching.

Ling Huaiye stopped behind her and stared at her back quietly for a while, and then his gaze fell to his figure reflected in the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Obviously, as long as Ruan Yan raised her eyes, she could see his figure on the glass window, but she didn't move, staring at one place like a sculpture.

Ling Huaiye didn't know what she was looking at.

But he saw the bitter cup of coffee in front of her, and knew that her heart must be more bitter than that coffee at this moment.

After all, when Ruan Yan felt uncomfortable and bitter, he loved to numb himself with bitter things.

She had eaten bitter gourd before, and that day her father slapped her for her half-brother.

……

After his thoughts returned, Ling Huaiye turned around and walked out of the convenience store.

He remembers that there was a cake shop next door.

The cake shop hadn't closed yet, so Ling Huaiye went in and bought a mille-feuille durian cake.

He soon returned to the convenience store.

Ruan Yan was still sitting alone in that corner, still staring out the window, slowly stirring the coffee.

When Ling Huaiye approached her again, Ruan Yan stopped stirring, lowered his head and tasted the coffee, and tested the temperature.

Probably because she felt that the temperature was right, she drank it all.

-

After a cup of bitter coffee, Ruan Yan frowned bitterly, and his eyes narrowed.

The thick bitterness spread from the tip of her tongue to her throat and then to her whole body.

In this way, she finally suppressed some of the bitterness in her heart.

At this moment, Ruan Yan noticed that someone was sitting next to him.

Before she could look sideways, a bony hand had already reached out in her field of vision, pushing a piece of mille-feuille durian cake in front of her.

Ruan Yan noticed a small inconspicuous black mole on the joint of the man's wrist.

At the same time, a familiar and deep male voice came from beside her: "Finished drinking bitter coffee, eat something sweet?" ”

Ruan Yan was stunned, his gaze followed the man's withdrawn hand, looked at his handsome face, and then froze.

Her long, narrow and beautiful phoenix eyes were wide open, full of surprise.

Her eyes were red, and she had clearly cried.

Ling Huaiye hid the distress in his eyes, staggered his gaze, and took a disposable cake spoon to Ruan Yan.

At this point, Ruan Yan came back to his senses a little and said in astonishment: "Why are you here?" ”

Still like a ghost, suddenly appeared next to her.

"Passing by."

Ruan Yan didn't take the spoon, so Ling Huaiye kept holding it.

He lied without changing his face.

It's a pity that Ruan Yan didn't believe it, and looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you have a very important dinner tonight?" ”

After realizing how outrageous the lies he had come to him, Ling Huaiye said: "......"

After a moment of silence, he turned his head and coughed lightly, so he could only stubbornly continue to make up: "Send something to Huai Xin...... She attends a class reunion nearby. ”

The man's voice sounded a little unnatural.

But Ruan Yan was still fooled by him.

She glanced at the dessert in front of her, but still didn't take the spoon, "So this was originally bought for Huaixin?" ”

Ling Huaiye was asked.

He didn't expect to lie so much to Ruan Yan tonight.

After a moment of silence, the man was quite helpless in his heart, but his tone was still cold: "You eat, I'll buy her another one when I go back." ”

Ruan Yan stared at him, his reddish eyes were moist, and his eyes were sparkling.

Ling Huaiye was very uncomfortable with her.

Just when Ling Huaiye wanted to look away, Ruan Yan took the spoon he handed him and thanked him.

Then she continued: "I'd better buy it for her, after all, I ate it." ”

If it was on weekdays, she would definitely not snatch Ling Huaixin's cake to eat.

But she was really in a bad mood today, so she didn't want to be polite to Ling Huaiye.

Seeing that she accepted the cake, Huai Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For a long time after that, Ruan Yan was concentrating on eating cake, and Ling Huaiye sat beside him, silent, just quietly accompanying her.

Later, it was Ruan Yan who spoke first, breaking the silence between them.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go?" When she asked Ling Huaiye, she looked at him with a slightly sideways face, and subconsciously licked the cream from the corner of her mouth.

This scene happened to fall into the man's eyes, and he even stagnated his breath for a moment, and his pupils shrank.

But fortunately, Ruan Yan didn't notice these strange things.

She was still thinking about Ling Huaiye sending things to Ling Huaixin.

I wonder why he didn't leave?

Ling Huaiye was silent for a long time before she uncomfortably took her eyes off her face.

The bulging sexy Adam's apple rolled silently, and again.

Then he answered Ruan Yan's question in a hoarse voice: "Don't rush ......"

Ruan Yan didn't say anything when he heard this, just looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

Ling Huaiye was stared at for a while, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it as if disguised, and found the most suitable words: "She said she didn't need to send it...... Just sent me a WeChat message. ”

Xu was because of Ruan Yan's gaze, the dark light in his eyes flickered, and he was a little weak.

But fortunately, Ruan Yan did not continue to ask.

She just nodded and continued to eat dessert.

There was a brief silence between the two, and this time Ling Huaiye took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Were you driving me away just now?" ”

“…… No. Ruan Yan was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing.

Ling Huaiye let out a faint sigh, and was silent for a moment before asking straight to the point: "Why are you drinking bitter coffee here, and you have encountered something?" ”

Ruan Yan was stunned again, first subconsciously shaking his head, and then nodding again.

Maybe it was because she felt too uncomfortable, or maybe it was because the person sitting next to her was Ling Huaiye, and she inexplicably had some desire to talk.

There was a voice in her heart urging her to say something, anyway, Ling Huaiye also knew that she had a crush on Sheng Yubai.

Ruan Yan swallowed a bite of the cake, seemed to have mustered up some courage, and smiled quite bitterly: "Ah Ye." ”

She called a man, and her voice was soft and intimate, just like before.

Ling Huaiye felt that he had not been able to call this title for a long time, and his heart was shocked fiercely, as if ripples had opened up on the surface of a calm lake.

I don't know how long it took for him to respond to her with a slow half-beat.

Ruan Yan didn't notice his abnormality, because she was immersed in her emotions at this moment.

Hearing Ling Huaiye's answer, Ruan Yan continued, "I feel like my crush is going to end without a problem. ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head and fed a mouthful of sweet cake into her mouth.

Ling Huaiye listened to it and understood what she meant almost instantly.

He was silent for a moment before he regained his voice, still a little dumb: "Aren't you already married to him?" ”

Ling Huaiye knew that he should say something else in order to comfort Ruan Yan.

Or like in high school, when she participated in the 400-meter dash of the sports day, she was firmly cheered her on.

But the words of blessing her and Sheng Yubai made Huaiye really speechless.

Only in this matter, he couldn't firmly stand on the same front as Ruan Yan, encourage her, and cheer her up.

Ruan Yan didn't care about this, she just sighed and said helplessly: "But he doesn't love me." ”

Even if he married Sheng Yubai as he wished, he still didn't love her, and he didn't even know that she liked him.

"Are you going to give up?" Ling Huaiye asked calmly.

Ruan Yan was asked, thought about it for a long time, but still didn't think it clearly, nodded and shook his head: "I haven't thought about it either." ”

Her heart was confused, "I want him to be happy, but I want him to like me." ”

"Am I contradictory?"

Ruan Yan looked at Ling Huaiye again, as if she wanted him to show her a clear path.

But she didn't wait for Ling Huaiye to reply, so she retracted her gaze and smiled: "Forget it, you don't understand this when I tell you." ”

"You haven't had a crush."

Ling Huaiye: "......"

Ruan Yan continued to sigh, sat up straight, cast his gaze out of the glass window, and said to himself faintly: "Crush is really a person's business, and no one can empathize with it. ”

After talking to herself, she lowered her head and ate the cake seriously, and her eating speed increased significantly.

It seems that the mood is much better than just now.

In fact, Ruan Yan's mood did improve, so she was very grateful for the dessert that Ling Huaiye gave her, turned her head and smiled at him, and said from the bottom of her heart: "It's delicious, thank you Ah Ye." ”

Ling Huaiye looked at her, and in a trance, she had the illusion of returning to her student days.

After school, they tried new products together in the dessert shop, and would order two desserts that Ruan Yan liked.

If she likes to eat, she will eat them all.

If it didn't suit her taste, those cakes would enter Ling Huaiye's stomach.

Every time she eats a delicious dessert, Ruan Yan's mood will be extraordinarily good.

The kind of good that will hum a song on the way home.

Ling Huaiye misses that time very much.

I miss the time when Ruan Yan didn't meet Sheng Yubai.

-

Ling Huaiye sat with Ruan Yan in the convenience store for a long time, until she finished the delicate and small mille-feuille durian cake.

During this period, the two were silent more, making Huaiye a good companion.

Ruan Yan finished eating the cake, and he was still unsatisfied.

Outside the window, the night was already darkening again, and it seemed to be getting late.

Ruan Yan cleaned up the mess on the table and glanced at his watch, it was already past nine o'clock.

If it was on weekdays, she would have already returned home at this point, patiently waiting for Sheng Yubai to get off work.

But she didn't want to go back today, so after thinking about it, Ruan Yan called Ling Huaiye and wanted to go with him to buy a cake for Ling Huaixin.

Ling Huaiye didn't refuse, he only felt that Ruan Yan's current state was much better than just now.

It would definitely be better to leave the convenience store and go out to take a breath and blow the night breeze.

So the two left tacitly, and Ruan Yan got into Ling Huaiye's car.

Ruan Yan knew that there was a cake shop nearby that was very good, but they didn't know if there were any mille-feuille durians in this shop, and they planned to try their luck in the shop.

Unfortunately, the cake shop was already sold out.

Ruan Yan and Ling Huaiye pounced, and after leaving the cake shop, Ruan Yan didn't say where to go, and Ling Huaiye tacitly didn't ask much, just drove her for a ride.

Later, when waiting for the traffic light, passing by a food stall, Ruan Yan, who was originally sitting on the back of the passenger seat, sat up straight silently, and kept looking out the window with a side face.

Her movement fell into the eyes of Ling Huaiye in the driver's seat, and he suddenly realized something.

Then he didn't ask Ruan Yan, the man turned around directly at the intersection in front, turned back to the food stall, and parked the car on the side of the road.

When he parked, Ruan Yan was still a little surprised, and looked back at the man in confusion.

Ling Huaiye also looked at her, and her mood changed inexplicably.

"I'm hungry." He said, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Let's make a string together?" ”

The moment the man's words fell, clusters of light rose in Ruan Yan's dark eyes.

With just one look, Ling Huaiye knew that his guess just now was right.

The man couldn't help but laugh and unbuckled his seat belt and went down first.

Then he went around to the co-pilot's side, opened the car door for Ruan Yan, laughed in his voice, and teased in a deep voice: "Let's go, little gluttonous cat." ”
