Chapter 6: The sixth cup of coffee

Views:

Jiang Ying doesn't like to hold grudges, especially what happened so many years ago. Since they have nothing to do with each other now, if they meet again by chance, they will say hello to each other indifferently and ask about the current situation, and it will be good to keep each other decent.

Facing Fu Chen's WeChat friend application, Jiang Ying decided to leave it alone. But the other party was very persistent, and did not know where to get her mobile phone number, and sent three text messages in succession.

Jiang Ying was afraid that if she ignored him, Fu Chen would even send her an email.

It took too much time for a sentence to come from WeChat, so Jiang Ying didn't want to talk to him too much, so he simply dialed a voice call.

The call was connected, and the other party said first: "I've been very busy recently, and I'm only answering my message now."

Jiang Ying held back her displeasure and said in a businesslike tone, "I'm sorry, I'm really busy. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Fu Chen laughed on the other end of the phone: "It's nothing, I just want to chat with you."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying was silent for a while, then hummed and asked, "Are you reminiscing? We should call it a settlement."

Before Fu Chen could reply, she preemptively said, "I'm really busy, so I'll hang up first if I have nothing to do."

After pressing the red button to finish the call, Jiang Ying pulled the other party into the blacklist without any pause.

Stay wherever it is cool.

Fu Chen's appearance was just a small episode, and Jiang Ying didn't take it to heart.

She has been coming to the cloud more frequently recently. Sometimes she feels that working at home is not efficient on weekends, so she will bring her computer to the cloud. Afraid of the noise on the first floor, Jiang Ying often sat alone in the corner of the second floor.

The light on the second floor was not very good. Yunxian met her several times and saw that she was working, so he bought another floor lamp and replaced the wooden stool with a soft single sofa.

Except for Jiang Ying, that seat was not often taken by people, and gradually, it seemed that it really became Jiang Ying's exclusive.

It was sunny this afternoon, and Jiang Ying pushed open the glass door while pinching his neck.

Yun Xian mixed coffee, glanced up at her, and asked, "Does your neck feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Ying snorted lazily, pulled out the high stool at the bar and sat down: "I've been sitting and didn't get up, it's sour."

"Sitting for a long time is not good for the cervical spine, so I occasionally get up and move around." Yun Xian handed her the menu, "What do you want to eat today?"

Jiang Ying rubbed her stomach: "Fresh taro milk and double cheese. I need sugar urgently now."

Yun Xian looked at her weak look and asked, "Didn't you eat?"

Jiang Ying shook his head: "I found out that the lunch break was almost over after I was busy, so if you sneaked out, put your stomach first."

Yun Xian held up the menu and patted her on the head: "Then you have to remember to eat."

Jiang Ying smiled at him.

"Jiang Ying?"

Hearing someone calling him, Jiang Ying looked back.

He was a man of the same age as her, dressed casually, but with a good temperament. Jiang Ying felt familiar with his appearance, but he couldn't remember who he was.

Seeing her frowning, the man came closer and introduced himself to her: "I'm Xu Hang, do you still know me? We were in the same class in the first year of high school."

"Oh!" Jiang Ying remembered after saying that, "I remember you, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xu Hang: "It's quite a coincidence, I was planning to find you recently."

Jiang Ying and Xu Hang are not familiar with each other, and there is not much interaction in the short year of classmates' life. Jiang Ying only remembered that he was the sports committee member of the class and was very popular.

Hearing Xu Hang say to find her, Jiang Ying's smile froze. What happened to her recently, and people who couldn't be beaten came up in front of her one after another.

"Look for me, what's the matter?"

Xu Hang looked down at his watch and asked, "Is it convenient for you now, I want to chat with you."

Jiang Ying hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."

The two changed seats, and when the drinks and desserts were ready, Jiang Ying rubbed her thighs and said to Xu Hang, "Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Xu Hang drank the thickened American style, and he took a bitter sip without frowning: "Have you seen Fu Chen recently?"

Jiang Ying's heart skipped a beat: "What did he tell you?"

Xu Hang smiled but said nothing.

"He has mentioned you frequently in the group recently and asked everyone about you."

This sentence is obscure and ambiguous, Jiang Ying smiled lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"He had no less than seven or eight girlfriends in high school, and he knew many more girls. But now," Xu Hang paused, "he only remembers you."

There was a strange feeling in Jiang Ying's heart, like overturning a glass of stale tomato juice, the thick brown-red liquid exuded a sour taste, making people sick. She leaned against the back of the chair with her arms folded, and laughed angrily: "Why, is he anti-Stockholm?"

Xu Hang turned the watch strap: "It's unnecessary to speculate on a crazy thought. I just want to tell you that he made a bet at the dinner a few days ago and threatened to catch you in a month."

In fact, what Fu Chen said that day was - Guess who I met? Jiang Ying, do you remember? She has become quite beautiful now. It is estimated that he still remembers the past, and he was so indifferent to me that he didn't even look at me directly. Oh, I still don't believe it, you look at it, at most one month, it's too late for me to let her stick to me.

Jiang Ying felt amused when she heard this: "Why?"

Xu Hang put down the coffee cup and said sternly: "Keep away from him recently, it's not like you haven't seen him crazy."

Jiang Ying looked at Xu Hang vigilantly: "Then why are you here to tell me this? Do you think I'll really be fooled by him?"

Xu Hang smiled and shook his head: "Before, I stood by and said sorry to you."

Jiang Ying lowered her eyes and groped for the mouth of the glass with her fingertips, as if she had remembered something.

Xu Hang is always smiling, and he treats people in a friendly way. He seems to be friends with everyone, but few people can really understand him.

Jiang Ying said in a low voice, "Xu Hang, being good to everyone is as bad as being bad to everyone."

Xu Hang's true emotions were hidden in his smiling face as usual: "It's not wrong to not want to be evil with people."

Everyone has their own way of living, Jiang Ying nodded and said, "Anyway, thank you, thank you for telling me this today. And before, you opened the door for me when I was locked in the sports equipment room. Bar."

Xu Hang smiled: "It's hard for you to remember."

After saying goodbye to Xu Hang, Jiang Ying sat next to the cloud for a while and slowly calmed down. She held her chin and stared outside the house in a daze, watching people come and go, the glass door opened and closed.

She was beating herself on the back when she inadvertently glanced at the open space in front of Yunbianmen and parked a car she was very familiar with.

Before she could react, Li Zhicheng got out of the car. Seeing him walking straight towards the door, Jiang Ying lowered her voice and scolded swear words, hunched over and hid behind the table.

Yun Xian noticed her movement and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that the door was about to be pushed open, Jiang Ying glanced at Li Zhicheng, then turned back to Yun Xian, her mind was blank, her heart was racing out of her throat.

When the bell rang again, Jiang Ying just squatted down behind the console.

Hearing the clack of Li Zhicheng's leather shoes on the floor, she was about to explode nervously.

Jiang Ying subconsciously raised her hand to hold Yun Xian's trousers tightly, her chest heaving violently, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Li Zhicheng turned pale after a busy day, and said to Yun Xian sullenly, "Give me a cup of lemon tea to prolong my life."

Yun Xian tilted his head to look at the tea bags on the shelf in the distance, and said without changing his face, "No, you can drink something else."

Li Zhicheng didn't believe it: "Is this still possible?"

"Well, I forgot to restock, drink something else."

Li Zhicheng compromised: "Okay, then you can make me a glass of sparkling water."

Yun Xian tilted his head to look at the refrigerator again, obviously not in the area where he can move now.

With his eyes locked on a coffee machine in front of him, Yun Xian asked blankly, "There is only coffee, do you drink it?"

Li Zhicheng was the grandson of the investor for a day, and now he will be treated like this. He was so angry that he raised his voice as soon as he clapped the table and shouted, "Damn it, your store has such a service attitude towards customers. ? You did it on purpose?"

Jiang Ying, who was huddled in a ball, was startled, her fingers clenched white.

Why are you still arguing? !

It's scary for Li Zhicheng to get angry, but Yunxian doesn't frighten him and knows how to smooth it out for him: "Just drink coffee, my new lahua."

Hearing that, Li Zhicheng squinted his eyes and looked at him up and down, cut it out, and said, "If you want to show off your latte art, tell me earlier, okay, then let me taste your craftsmanship."

Hearing Li Zhicheng pull out the chair and sit down, Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the hand that had been holding Yun Xian's trousers.

Feeling that the resistance disappeared, Yun Xian looked down at Jiang Ying, a little helpless.

If she let go earlier, Li Zhicheng wouldn't be fried.

After the console, Jiang Ying took out the phone from her bag and tugged Yunxian secretly.

Yun Xian looked down at her calmly, then coughed softly, his fingers moved intentionally, and the metal ladle fell from the stage to the ground.

A crisp sound alerted Li Zhicheng to look at him. Seeing nothing, he turned his eyes and continued to lower his head to play with his phone.

Yun Xian naturally took a small step back, squatted down and looked at Jiang Ying, and said, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ying showed him the typed words.

[That is my boss! He wasn't around this afternoon so I sneaked out, the hell knows I met him here! If I get caught by him, the bonus will be gone! Help! Let me hide for a while!]

After hurriedly scanning the words on the screen, Yun Xian held back the smile at the corner of his mouth, picked up the spoon on the ground and stood up.

"Don't go to the company today?" Yun Xian asked Li Zhicheng.

Li Zhicheng: "I'll take a look later, there are only a few hours left to get off work."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying wanted to die.

Yun Xian looked at the splendid expressions on Jiang Ying's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Yun Xian urged him to go: "Come on, the boss is lazy here."

Li Zhicheng took it for granted: "What's wrong with the boss being lazy? The employees just don't let me be lazy."

Jiang Ying, who was connoted, closed his eyes and silently recited a sentence of Amitabha.

Fortunately, Li Zhicheng drank half a cup of coffee and left after sitting for about ten minutes.

When the man disappeared from sight, Yun Xian lowered his head and said, "He's gone, get up."

Jiang Ying raised her hand and placed it on the edge of the table, trying to use her strength to stand up, but as soon as she moved, she felt a tingling sensation running down her legs.

"Hey—" She twisted her body, whether to stand or not to squat or not.

Yun Xian asked, "Is your leg numb?"

Jiang Ying frowned and nodded without tears. When she moved, she felt a biting numbness, and she gasped in discomfort.

Yun Xian stepped forward to support Jiang Ying and gave her a support: "Don't worry, just stand for a while."

After slowing down a little, Jiang Ying tentatively took a few steps forward, and found that he was going to leave if he was all right: "I'll go first, otherwise I really can't explain it."

Seeing her hurrying back, Yun Xian shouted, "Concentrate on work, and next time I won't cover it up."

Jiang Ying waved his hand, pushed open the door and ran out.

About ten minutes later, Yun Xian received Jiang Ying's WeChat.

[Sunset Orange: My colleague lied that I went to the toilet and escaped the catastrophe, fortunately.]

[See the mountain: The colleagues are good people.]

[Sunset Orange: But she blackmailed me.]

[Sunset Orange: Let me invite her to dinner.]

[Jianshan: What about me?]
