When Xu Xia saw Mencius he for the first time, he was shocked, as if an electric current passed through his body, which made him in a trance for a moment.
What's funny is that when a customer ordered coffee, he saw his appearance, and his eyes were straight. So Xu Xia felt that it was not his fault. It was Mencius who was so enchanting.
Throughout the afternoon, Xu Xia was a bit out of his mind, his eyes were always unable to help but sweep to the woman in the corner.
She is a real beauty. She has big eyes, high nose, bright eyes and bright teeth. Her hair is like a shining waterfall. She is wearing a white silk shirt and a bohemian skirt. She is like a gypsy girl who suddenly appears. She is a bit mysterious and unruly, which makes people full of curiosity.
No woman has ever been able to pull the string in his heart so easily. Xu Xia thought maybe this is love at first sight?
But what can be done? He thought with some depression that there must be a tall, powerful, handsome and gold man behind such a woman.
However, he gradually found that Mencius often came in the afternoon, one person came, one person walked, no one to see her off, she was tall, always wearing a loose dress, walking swaying posture, like a blooming dahlia, attracted everyone's attention. Every time I came in, Xu Xia felt a sudden light in the dark room, a little pompous.
Mencius he always order a cup of white water, with a dessert, sitting in the corner leisurely reading to eat dessert. Curly hair falls on the shoulder, very petty feeling.
In fact, there are a lot of girls with gentle temperament. They drink coffee and flip the pages of books. Each of them looks very petty bourgeoisie. But she is unique. Petty bourgeoisie and gypsy girl are two different styles, which can be reflected in her. Quiet time, quiet eyes, clean and sweet, when eating dessert, occasionally fly around the corner of the eye, and give birth to another kind of amazing.
Xu Xia watched, every day, which became the scenery he longed to see most.
Xu Xia is actually a man of science and technology. He never thought that he would open such a coffee shop, let alone meet Mencius in his coffee shop.
He majored in Computer Science in University. After graduation, he entered a large IT company. He was well paid, but he worked very hard. It was common for him to work overtime and stay up late. At that time, relying on his youth, he did not pay attention to anything. He sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours every day, day after day, year after year. Until one morning, when he could not get up completely, he was afraid.
His colleagues sent him to the hospital, and the doctor told him that his cervical spondylosis was very serious and could not be cured in a short time and a half. Even if he was cured, he could not return to the previous state. It was better to change his job.
Hearing the news, his parents came and insisted that he quit his job. He stayed in the hospital for half a month and took him home.
His home is in a small city, compared with the big city, life here seems very leisurely, but Xu Xia is not willing to idle at home, always want to do something, he has worked for several years, has a savings in hand, wants to do some small business, when wandering in the street, just saw this cafe listing transfer, he did not think much, walked in, talked with the boss, and looked at it I thought the decoration inside was pretty good, so I took pictures on the spot.
The boss's name was Chen Hua. He felt that he was very cheerful. He took the initiative to reduce 10000 yuan. He said that he wanted to make friends with him and told him some ways to do business. In this way, he made friends with Chen Hua before he opened a business.
Xu Xia doesn't understand coffee. He just wants to do something to kill his time, because his neck vertebra has two years of recovery. In these two years, his parents do not allow him to sit in front of the computer.
With this cafe, he can sit in the counter, as long as there is a place for him to stay, he is very satisfied.
He didn't know how to open the cafe. Even ah Hua admired him and said that he was a businessman.
In fact, he did not have any business materials, but was a mistake. Although he majored in science, he was also a literary man in middle school. He loved reading, singing and some musical instruments.
He took the cafe as a place to play. All the books in his house were moved in and bought a lot of new ones. The atmosphere came out and the musical instruments moved in. He was idle and bored. He amused himself and attracted many like-minded friends. Friends brought friends to come and spread word of mouth. His coffee shop gradually became famous in the circle More and more people were willing to stand at the door and wait. Xu Xia set up a few tables at the door and made a small open-air place. Gradually, it was still overcrowded.
Chen Hua gave him an idea to open a chain and make the industry bigger. Xu Xia refused. Opening a coffee shop was supposed to kill his time. He didn't want to find himself guilty.
I thought this life was the best, but I didn't expect to meet Mencius.
Chen Hua said that there is no best in everything, only better. Xu Xia thinks he is right. Because after meeting Mencius he, he felt that life was better.
Because the business is good, the cafe hired two helpers. One is Ren Dandan, 19, who has been working here since she graduated from high school. There is another 22-year-old Jiang Kaicheng. When Chen Hua was the boss, he took a part-time job here. After graduating from University, he did not find a suitable job, so he stayed here all the time. He is extroverted, and the introverted Xu Xia just complement each other and become very good friends.But no matter how good a friend he is, Xu Xia will not share his secret love affairs. He is a gentle and gentle man who likes a long stream. I believe that one day Mencius will not find him good.
If you want her to find out, you have to behave.
Seeing Mencius entering the store, Xu Xia picked up the guitar and sat in the counter, playing and singing. His voice is very nice, pure and ethereal, very much like a famous folk song who was once very popular. The first time I opened my voice in public, it was amazing. Chen Hua and Jiang Kaicheng urged him to take part in the singing contest. They said that if he went, he would definitely win the prize and be a popular idol.
Jiang Kaicheng is very good at talking, but he can't move him with his smooth tongue.
Xu Xia knew his talent. Since he was a child, his teacher said that he was good at singing and had a sense of rhythm. He also went to the children's palace to learn. But later, his parents thought that it was not a serious thing for a boy to sing, so he was allowed to take the college entrance examination like an ordinary child and majored in computer science.
Xu Xia likes singing, but he doesn't like the high-profile life because he feels too tired.
He sang "warmth" by Xu Wei,
I sat in my room and looked at your photos
and I thought of Dali
the sun is always so bright
the sky is so blue
Cangshan is always green
I love the blue Erhai Lake
scattered white sails
heart beating slowly with the wind
under the golden sunset How warm your smile is
how warm your smile is
I love the bonfire in Lijiang at night
we sing and dance happily and simply
I love the stars in the blue night
Angels fly over the head and fly far away
in my arms, you whisper in my ears
those warmth are in my heart
today when I miss you
you make me heavy for a long time The heart of
feels lighter than ever
As soon as he opened his voice, applause rang out. Even Mencius raised his head and glanced at him.
Across several rows of tables, their eyes met in midair. Maybe it was just for a moment, maybe it stopped for two seconds. Xu Xia felt that his heart pounded hard and hurt his chest. Then he jumped up like a drum. He seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, but he almost didn't jump up. He was always very calm in singing. Only Mencius could make him nervous.
Shallow singing, pure voice seems to bring you to those beautiful pictures: blue sky, bright sunshine, little white sails, green mountains, Cangshan mountains, blue canger ears At night, the bonfire is burning, singing and laughing, dancing, and shooting stars are flying overhead Lover's smile, warm embrace, low whisper Bring people endless flaws.
There was no noise, not even the sound of turning a book. All the people listened quietly. For them, it was a rare thing for them to hear Xu Xia singing in the afternoon. Because of this, it was precious.
At the end of the song, applause thunderous, someone called out: "Xu Xia, another song."
All of them were acquaintances. No one called him the boss. They all called him by his first name, as if only in this way could he seem casual and intimate.
Xu Xia made a gesture of thanks, tuned the strings, and sang the blue lotus.
This is a very popular song, so when it comes to the chorus part, some people sing along with it:
through the dark years
also feel hesitation
when you look down at the moment
only then can you find the road under your feet
through the dark years
also feel hesitation
when you bow your head, you will find the road under your feet
the freedom in your heart The earth world is so clear and lofty
it is in full bloom and never withers
the blue lotus flower
la la la la la la la la la ~~~~, As if the mountain gurgling spring, people feel quiet Zhiyuan.
She looked at the man who was playing the piano at the counter from a distance. He was wearing a light blue shirt, his hair was a little long, and his forehead was disorderly. The lamp behind him was slanting and shining on his whole body. He was sitting in the light and singing with his head down, like a devout believer, focusing on his own singing.
Mencius didn't know that he was the boss here, and his name was Xu Xia. That's all. She didn't like to pay attention to strangers. The only person in the world that she paid attention to was no longer there.
But today, this Xu Xia let her have some impression, originally he can sing, and sing so well.
