Jiang Zongheng is about to pass his life. Song Xi came to the restaurant to order cake from Mai Zhe. Mai zhe has been here for a week. The customers all say that it is better than the former pastry makers. Many of them come here specially for dessert. The same thing may only sell for 34 yuan outside. Here is a triple digit jump. While Mai Zhe's income increases, it also has great benefits to the overall reputation of the restaurant.
Song Xi told Mai Zhe Jiang Zongheng's taste and preference. He took a notebook and wrote it down carefully. Song Xi said with a smile, "please, wheat."
Mai zhe replied with a smile, "you're welcome. I'll be the one you're all satisfied with."
After a few words of conversation, Mai zhe asked, "is Mengmeng on duty today?"
Song Xi nodded in response: "yes."
Mai zhe said, "then I'll just get off work at night and give her a midnight snack."
Song Xi said: "don't bother. She loses weight and doesn't eat at night. You're tired all day. Go back and have a rest early."
Mai zhe said, "I'm not tired either. I'll make a salad and send it to her. I can't do without eating. I'm so hungry that I'm in a bad mood."
Song Xi didn't say much else. After chatting a few words, he came out of the operation room and went to the bar to find Diana.
Diana saw at a glance that Song Xi wanted to say nothing and asked, "what's the matter?"
There was no outsider around. Song Xi sat on a high chair and said in a low voice, "I think I'm selfish. When I see that wheat is good for damieng, I'm happy and unhappy."
Diana understood Song Xi's mood, sighed and said: "we are both the family of damengmengniang and dongxuniang. When they are together, we naturally have meat in the palm and the back of our hands, killing a litter of rotten ones, but it's not the same if outsiders join in."
"In fact, in a strict sense, wheat and Mengmeng have known each other for a longer time than us. It's reasonable for them to have a good relationship. Besides, wheat is a good person. If he and Mengmeng can really get together, it's not necessarily a good thing... Ah, anyway, like you, I certainly hope that Mengmeng and Dongxu can be together, but falling in love is their own business, We are all outsiders. We can't manage it. "
It's because Song Xi carries Qing that she feels powerless. She can't even call Gu Dongxu to urge him to get Da Mengmeng back quickly. After all, it's not easy for anyone to live in today's situation.
They were chatting with each other, only to hear a slightly immature male voice behind them say in American English: "Mom, I want to eat their cake, chocolate, mango and Hazelnut Cream, all of them..."
Originally, Song Xi didn't look back until he heard a gentle female voice saying, "back home, speak Chinese."
It's only six words, light and floating, but Song Xi's whole body is like being struck by lightning. She doesn't dare to look back. Her body is stiff. The conversation behind her is still going on, getting closer and closer. First, the boy said in Chinese: "Mom, hurry up, I'll be late for the movie soon."
The woman said, "you can only choose one."
Every time she opens her mouth, Song Xi feels tense and powerless. Her body is tight, but her heart doesn't know how to place it. How many years has she not seen Lu Fangqi? For a long time, she thought that she had forgotten that person, but in fact, over the years, she overheard a voice very similar to Lu Fangqi several times. Yes, it's just similar. Every time when she couldn't control it, she was naked disappointed. This disappointment can last for a month or two, or even longer.
For at least five or six years, Song Xi had never heard a voice similar to Lu Fangqi's, so at first glance, she could not control her body's instinctive reaction.
She can control, just no longer silly look back, silly again let himself fall into the middle of the loss.
In a few seconds, the mother and the son had already come to the bar. The boy wanted four kinds of cakes. The woman insisted for a while, and finally agreed to choose two. The boy reached out and said, "three kinds, chocolate, cream and mango."
The woman shook her head. "No way."
The boy lay on the bar and began to murmur in English that he wanted to call his father.
Song Xi is at a parallel angle with them. Yu Guang glimpses an English speaking boy. He is taller than expected, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His skin is very white. He is hip-hop and wears a cap. He is very handsome. Because he is tall, he blocks the woman on the other side. Song Xi is very uncomfortable and wants to see but doesn't want to see.
The shop assistant came to entertain them. The woman told the boy to choose two flavors. The boy was angry. He turned his face to Song Xi completely. Song Xi took a blind look and secretly said that the boy had grown up and had a handsome face when he was young.
Sure enough, this year's good-looking is popular. Diana, sitting in the bar, raised her lips and said, "handsome boy, mom won't let you eat too much cake because she's afraid you'll eat your teeth bad. What can I do if you're so handsome and have teeth missing?"
The boy bared his teeth at Diana, and then said, "I've already changed my teeth. The doctor said my teeth are very good and won't decay."
This move not only amused Diana, but also amused Song Xi. The woman who was blocked by the boy said, "Lele, hurry up. You don't say the movie is going to be late. Hurry up and choose two."
Hearing the speech, the boy suddenly squats down in the same place, looking depressed. He stands up about 1.7 meters and blocks the other side tightly. However, at the moment, he squats down suddenly. Song Xi suddenly sees the woman on the other side, the boy's mother... Maybe, it's also her mother.
Maybe it's because Song Xi hasn't seen Lu Fangqi for many years. When Lu divorced song Yuanqing and moved out of the house, Song Xi was only 11 or 12 years old. At that time, she thought that Lu Fangqi didn't want their father and daughter, so she had a bad attitude towards Lu Fangqi and basically didn't speak. When Lu Fangqi came to see her, she pretended not to see her on the road. Later, I didn't know if Lu Fangqi was also bored, Gradually disappeared in Song Xi's world. Song Xi remembered that the last time she saw Lu Fangqi was when she was 14 years old.
14、 She has been 27 years this year and hasn't seen each other for 13 years. She has long been used to the role of no mother in her life, but Lu Fangqi appears in front of her unexpectedly.
Song Xi is still, holding her breath. She thinks that the person in front of her is Lu Fangqi. Although she hasn't seen her for 13 years, Lu Fangqi is not as young as her memory, but it's her mother. It's blood. No one will recognize her close relatives in the street.
But
The woman doesn't know her. Song Xi is in front of the woman. She even stares at each other, but the woman only sees the boy squatting on the ground.
At any rate, the boy agreed to choose three kinds of cake, the boy stood up, the woman looked at Song Xi, looked at Diana, embarrassed smile: "no way, I spoiled."
After buying the cake, they are ready to leave. Song Xi almost uncontrollably cries: "aunt..."
The woman turns her head and looks at Song Xi. They look at each other. Suddenly, Song Xi can't say anything. She can feel the impulse that tears are about to burst into her eyes, so she forces herself to smile and represses: "the cakes here are all made of xylitol. It doesn't matter if you eat more."
Woman smell speech, smile nod, "OK, thank you."
Looking at the back of a woman and a boy leaving together, Song Xi's scalp feels numb. Is there really two people who are very similar in this world? From appearance to sound?
The woman is not Lu Fangqi. She doesn't know Song Xi.
