Du Xiaoxian got out of the car and looked around. It was really quiet here. She didn't expect that the coffee shop could be opened in such a quiet place. But it looks very stylish.
When the door was pushed in, there were only three or two guests inside, which seemed a little lonely. Someone in the corner waved to her. Although the light was dim, she recognized Xia Xiaowan.
When she approached, Xia Xiaowan asked with a smile, "is the place hard to find?"
"Fortunately, the driver knows the place." Du Xiaoxian sat down and unbuttoned his scarf.
"What would you like to drink?" Xia Xiaowan calls for a waiter.
Du Xiaoxian said, "give me a cup of boiled water."
Xia Xiaowan asked: "do not like coffee because it is bitter?"
"No, I just can't get used to it."
Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter, "give this lady a cup of boiled water."
The waiter answered, turned around and left, and soon brought up a cup of boiled water. Du Xiaoxian saw that there was a small list in the tray. She picked it up and looked at it. She was a little surprised. She looked up at the waiter and said, "boiled water also needs money?"
"Yes, miss," replied the waiter, half bent over, "we don't have free programs here."
"That eight yuan is too expensive. It's just a cup of white water. You can pour many cups in one pot."
"Plain water itself is not expensive," the waiter explained patiently. "What is expensive is the environment and service, which are included in the cost."
Du Xiaoxian didn't quite understand, "environment also sells money?"
"OK, I'll answer you this question," Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter with a light chin. "We want to talk alone. Please..."
"Oh, yes." The waiter nodded knowingly and turned away.
Xia Xiaowan looked around and said to Du Xiaoxian: "you see, the decoration and furnishings here are very exquisite. There are flowers on each table. The cost is not small. Their service is also in place. It really makes people feel at home. The coffee is freshly ground. It has a strong flavor and good taste. Compared with the coffee brewed outside, it is not Same, so it is reasonable to sell a cup of boiled water for eight yuan. Do you understand my explanation? "
"That is to say, even if you don't order anything, just sit down and spend money?"
"They don't set a minimum consumption, but who goes into such a place and just sits down? Now that you come in, you'll always want something to drink. "
Du Xiaoxian understood that people who can enter here will not care about this money. People who don't have money dare not enter such places.
"Young master, is he OK?"
"He's fine," Xia Xiaowan stirred his coffee with a spoon. "He just doesn't want to see you."
"I know, I made him sad."
"He told me all about you," Xia Xiaowan put down the spoon and took a sip of coffee. "It's not so much that you make him sad, it's better that he doesn't know how to face you." Xia Xiaowan hesitated and rubbed her fingers on the coffee cup. She didn't seem to know what to say.
"He still likes you, but he treats me You know, we've known each other since childhood. He used to like me, but now, he... " Xia Xiaowan sighed: "he should have told you by himself, but he doesn't know how to face you. It's not easy to entrust this kind of thing to others, so..."
Xia Xiaowan hesitated, saying a sentence to save half a sentence, as if very embarrassed. But Du Xiaoxian understood both the inside and outside of the story.
"The young master still likes you, but he feels sorry for me, so he doesn't know how to face me, right?"
"He often tells me you are stupid and stupid, but I think you are a smart girl, so if I don't say something, you will understand it."
Xia Xiaowan looked guilty. He took out a narrow piece of paper from the bag and handed it to Du Xiaoxian. "This is what brother nianbin asked me to give you. If it is too few, you can open your mouth. Or if you have other requirements, you can ask them together. Besides, he wants me to say sorry to you
Du Xiaoxian knew what it meant when she heard it. She didn't accept it. How many zeros on the check didn't interest her. She thought she would cry, but she did not. Her voice was unexpectedly calm. "The young master has been very kind to me. He doesn't need to say sorry. I'm sorry. He has given me too much, so I can't accept anything from him. I won't ask for anything, Miss Xia. Please tell him that I thank him for taking care of him these days. I hope he will be happy and I wish you happiness
"Xiaoxian, you are really a good girl," Xia Xiaowan said sincerely, "because you are so good, brother nianbin feels guilty. Don't hate him. His situation is really difficult."
"I know." Du Xiaoxian lowered her head. She was really sad. After a while, she lifted up again: "I won't hate him."
Xiao Xiao Wan smiled. She took the coffee slowly and drank slowly. Her slender fingers were slightly lifted, and the light came from behind her, which gave her a faint halo of light. Though she was carrying a light, she could see that her makeup was very delicate, her lips were light, her eyelashes were thick and warped, and her eyes were black and bright, like stars in the sky. She was wearing a short pink coat, a pure white shawl collar, a silk scarf with ink painting around her neck, and her big wavy hair hanging over her shoulders, which made her look very casual. Her smile was light and bright.Du Xiaoxian looked at her carefully for the first time and thought that she was really beautiful. Gu nianbin should be surrounded by such a woman.
"You," Xia Xiaowan said with a smile, as if embarrassed: "when are you going? Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else, because brother nianbin may go home to get his clothes. He's afraid to run into you, so... "
Du Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "don't worry. If you can't leave tonight, I will leave tomorrow morning."
"Don't be so anxious," Xia Xiaowan asked, "do you want to find a good place to live? Do you want me to find a house for you? After all, I know a lot and have a wide range of ways. "
"No, thank you," Du Xiaoxian bit his lip and stood up slowly. "Nothing else. I'll go first."
Xia Xiaowan nodded and said, "take care of yourself."
Du Xiaoxian wanted to smile at her at last, but she couldn't. Had to quickly turn around to leave.
However, it was just over five o'clock. It was dark and gray everywhere, but the streetlights were not on. The whole world seemed to be trapped in a heavy gray, which made people feel decadent and hopeless. Du Xiaoxian didn't know where her future was. She couldn't see it, but felt that everything was indifferent. It seems not sad, she is like a soulless person, slowly wandering in the street.
One by one cars sped across the road, making a loud noise, which seemed a little noisy. The people who came and went were close to each other, and their faces were expressionless. Because of the cold, many people hid their faces in their hats and scarves. Du Xiaoxian couldn't see it clearly, as if they were just a vague background. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they knew they were all in a hurry. She was the only exception, walking slowly, like a leisurely walk.
Du Xiaoxian was walking, and suddenly stopped. She looked around blankly. The crowd was silent, but quickly passed by her. A group of people seemed to have no end. She was very flustered. These people seemed to have a clear destination. They might be going home or meeting someone. She did not have a home. She had no one to see Only myself, just like when I was a child, she always has herself.
She stops here, but the world will not stop, Gu nianbin will not stop, all the people will not stop, no one is interested in her, she is just a poor, humble, small as dust, she should not have expected.
After standing for a long time, she seemed to have thought about a lot of things, but she didn't think of anything. When she first came, Gu nianbin sent her to school. When she went home, she often took half a car and walked half the way. At that time, she felt fresh and beautiful about everything. She looked back slowly all the way, and was very happy and satisfied. But a few months later, she walked in the same street, but could not find the original mood.
Perhaps it is time to get off work, the road began to jam, the sound of cars passing by gradually disappeared, replaced by the sound of horn, one sound after another, noisy and disturbing, the lights are on, a little yellow light like there are countless small moths flying, Du Xiaoxian looked for a long time, only to find that it is raining, the sky is more and more dark, she thought I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. She didn't bring her umbrella, so she had to go home quickly.
But when she lifted her foot, she didn't know where to go and where was the place she should go? She was a little confused, like a lost child, looking around helplessly.
The rain began to rain, she put on the hat on her clothes, the small bag on her shoulder, and began to run forward. She had only herself, so she could not get sick, because she had no money and no one cared about her.
She ran to the bus stop and jumped on a bus. There was no seat. She stood beside a man with glasses, holding a ring in her hand, and her body swayed along with the car. After several stops, she found out that it was not her way home. At the next stop, she got off the bus, played a mental look at the bus, and finally found out which bus she should take to go home. But after waiting for a long time, there was no bus Come, the originally crowded platform gradually became cold, everyone got on the bus, only her, the world once again forgot her.
Finally, the car still came. Du Xiaoxian dragged his tired steps to get on the car. There were only two or three people in the car. The driver was a middle-aged man. He looked at her and said to her: "have you been waiting for a long time?"
Du Xiaoxian said, "yes, it's been a long time."
The driver said, "no way. There are few cars on this line. The interval is longer."
Du Xiaoxian asked, "why not?"
The driver had patience to explain to her: "because there are rich people living in that area. There are few people who take the bus. If you can't earn money, there will be less cars."
Du Xiaoxian suddenly realized that it was like this. She turned and walked slowly towards the back, but the driver stopped her: "little girl, you haven't put in a coin yet."
With a cry, she quickly turned back, brushed the card on the machine, and then found a seat to sit down.
