- What did the cup of coffee you just drink taste like
- Slightly bitter, then slightly sweet.
When Qi Jin tilted his head back following the man's movements, he was still thinking about this question vaguely. Then, his chin was gently pulled back by a hand, and he felt a man press down from above, and some itchy, dry lips were imprinted on his lips. The taste of the rest of the coffee and the kiss melted together for a while. After all, the sweetness overwhelmed the bitterness, and the mellow aroma of strong milk overflowed at the moment when the tongue was wrong.
There seemed to be a small exclamation around, but most of them sounded with good intentions. An international metropolis like Beijing has really opened up.
"Well… "
Qi Jin's hand lifted up unconsciously, rustling along the man's collar, wrapping it around the back of his neck, stroking his five fingers into his short hair one by one, gradually lowering his head. Press, so that he can explore deeper and deeper, and take all the thirst from his mouth.
Shen Yan's fingers slowly rubbed the small area from his chin to the Adam's apple, like petting a docile cat. The cat would comfortably close its eyes and raise his head to enjoy at this time - and now, the person under him This is also the state. He was reluctant to let go.
However, this position is not suitable for long kisses.
The two kissed for a while, and finally parted while panting, their upper and lower eyes facing each other.
"I have endured for a day." Shen Yan murmured. Since the morning, I have been thinking about it, enduring it, and now I can't bear it anymore—
Qi Jin was gasping for breath, and when she heard this sentence, she was stunned for a while, and then she couldn't help but let out a bright smile.
"I thought you were 'Mr. Renren'."
He said, maintaining this look-up position, a forefinger gently slid across the corner of Shen Yan's lips, and his eyes were full of smiles.
And Shen Yan stared at him without moving, and asked: "Do you want me to be or not?"
He made an action of squinting his eyes slightly and thinking: "I'll tell you if you kiss again."
As a result, this question was not answered in the end, and the part used for answering had to be busy for a while, and when it was done, it was forgotten, and no one would care about it.
The cup of coffee latte on the table was waiting quietly, overflowing with warmth, and the surface of the coffee had a pattern of hearts spread with milk froth.
When Qi Jin just ordered coffee, he didn't expect such an occasion.
As for whether it was coffee that responded to their vision, or whether they responded to the concept of coffee... it doesn't matter anymore.
During this time, the other customers in the store were quietly poking their heads in their direction, whispering, presumably discussing their relationship—a very obvious relationship.
"Everyone is looking at us."
Qi Jin clearly said so, but people laughed calmly, and generously pulled Shen Yan and asked him to sit down opposite her. When people sat down, they didn't let go of their hands. various eyes.
"They're free."
Shen Yan was very calm. He still had snow flakes on his shoulders and sleeves, and his hands were a little cold, so it must have been cold when he came over. Qi Jin kept warm for him over and over again, and then asked with a smile and a sigh, "Why are you here so soon?"
I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect this person to appear so quickly and in time, just like knowing that I was lonely.
And the other party's answer confirmed these: "I don't want to leave you alone."
The movement of Qi Jin's hand stopped, raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, the candlelight dyed a thin and bright golden layer around the corner of his eyes, and jumped with the candlelight.
"Then... what did you say from the three teachers?"
"I didn't say anything, I ate a little with them, and then I said that my stomach was a little uncomfortable today, and I couldn't eat much, so I went back to the restaurant to rest first. Mr. Longgong was going to drive me, but his wife and Mr. Pu stopped me. It's gone." Qi Jin smiled when he heard this—Tu Xiaotu obviously knew it, but Pu Yuzhi knew it too.
"What about rice noodles?"
"He said he would have a few more drinks with the teachers and let me come to you first."
- This is deliberately making time for them to be alone. Qi Jin bowed his head and smiled, feeling relieved.
"Then sit with me for a while before the fifth comes." His voice was lower than usual, and it was easier to stir a person's heart than the finger he gently tickled in the palm of his hand. Shen Yan smiled silently, letting him manipulate his hands and his heart, and Qi Jin gave him the French sandwiches and coffee in front of him.
"Come on, open your mouth."
It was a very childish behavior, but Shen Yan was able to open her mouth naturally, lightly grabbed a small piece of sandwich brought by Qi Jin's finger, and ate it as if no one else was there. Qi Jin also doesn't mind that this action has been used by more or less couples, even as a plot in a TV series, but he is going to be vulgar in this festive atmosphere. He is vulgar, he is happy, others think Can't handle it.
So is coffee.
Qi Jin first pushed it over to let Shen Yan take a sip, then pulled the cup back and turned it around, insisting on taking another sip on the top of the cup where Shen Yan had just drank. As they went back and forth, the two of them drank the heart-shaped milk froth on the surface.
The aroma of coffee beans unique to the coffee shop wafts from the faint piano music, and there is also the sweetness of caramel attached to the baked desserts, and there is also a little bit of cold air coming in from the store door that is occasionally opened. Light fir smell. They sat by the window and listened to the clinking of ceramic cups around them, and the clucking sound of metal teaspoons stirring ice cubes.
After eating, Qi Jin hummed to the music lazily, knocking on the knees of the person on the other side with his knees on the bottom of the table. Rub the opponent's ankle.
Shen Yan smiled helplessly, leaned forward slightly, and held his hands.
"Qi Jin, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Ok?"
"Yes... Teacher Pu mentioned it to me today," Shen Yan's smile gradually became more bitter, and she said slowly, "I wanted to refuse at the time, but she suggested that I ask you what you mean before answering her."
As soon as Qi Jin heard that Pu Yuzhi mentioned it, he was very curious and hurriedly asked, "What did Teacher Pu mention to you?"
Shen Yan explained everything she and herself mentioned today.
"Shen Yan, do you want to go?" Qi Jin was unexpectedly calm after hearing this, her smile didn't change at all, "I'll ask you without thinking about anything else, do you want to go?"
Shen Yan nodded silently, very lightly, but she was nodding.
Qi Jin asked again: "I think it's because you want to study for an undergraduate degree and read dubbing, not because you are struggling with whether your education is worthy of me, isn't it?"
They hardly discussed this topic, only Ning Xiaoxiao brought it up once before, and Qi Jin didn't mention it after that. Now listening to him take the initiative to point out, Shen Yan smiled faintly: "To be honest, there are reasons for this, but not entirely. In fact, I have always had a regret in my heart - I originally planned to study an undergraduate degree in veterinary medicine, but in the end I didn't. It's not that I couldn't pass the exam, but... It's because something happened around me, so the last one or two months of high school my mental state was very poor. I didn’t go to the undergraduate line, so I could only go to a junior college.”
Qi Jin had never heard him say this, and was stunned for a moment.
Shen Yan continued to speak.
"Grandpa once asked me to repeat the study for a year, but I gave up at that time. But it's okay, the veterinary major has more practical experience in the vocational school, which is more beneficial to those who come out to work." Said, "As for dubbing... I never thought that I could go to university for further study, so I was really moved when Teacher Pu suggested it, but thinking about your burden, I just... "
As he spoke, he raised his head, and suddenly found Qi Yin looking at him and smiling. A very relaxed smile, and I can't find any pressure from the financial burden.
"Go," his tone was as cheerful and frank as his smile, "it's rare to have such a good opportunity, and I'm studying under Teacher Pu, it's a pity not to go—"
"But… "
"I know what you're worried about," Qi Jin gently waved his hand to stop what he said below, and smiled and broke his fingers apart and counted them with him, "I'm not a person who lives in utopia, you I also thought of these when I told you. In fact, we can find cheaper ones for renting a house. As for a car, it is fine if you don’t buy a car. It’s good to have a subway or a bus to go to work. And most of the students who go to college are at night or at night. You have classes on weekends, and it’s not that you don’t work, so we don’t have to worry about making money together. If the tuition is too high, you can also apply for a loan~”
Shen Yan quietly watched as her fingers were broken off one by one by this man. At the end, she lowered her head and smiled: "Are we now... discussing the feeling of married life in the atmosphere of a couple dating?"
Qi Jin was stunned for a while, but when she realized it, she couldn't think of a more suitable description, so she couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he put his hands on the table and crossed over and kissed the man's face fiercely. He didn't turn back after the kiss, but put his forehead against his forehead and laughed softly: "Then, we won't discuss firewood, rice, oil and salt... Let's take advantage of this. Now do some couple things. Huh?"
When checking out, the clerk smiled and handed them a coupon for Valentine's Day event in February, which Qi Jin happily accepted.
Before going out, he sent a text message to Tan Zixian, saying that they were walking around nearby, and Qiu Tianyang would inform them when he was about to arrive. Before that, he and Shen Yan strolled slowly.
At this time, the snow had stopped, and the night sky was pitch black. The bare trees on both sides of the road were originally buried under the night, but they were wrapped in strings of golden lights along the branches. With a layer of icing made of stars, it stands on one side as if virtual and real, and the dim light makes people feel like they are in another world.
For them, in this unfamiliar city, among unfamiliar pedestrians, is another world.
They have no taboos, and walk hand in hand under those star trees intimately, step by step, walking steadily and comfortably.
Sometimes when Qi Jin becomes more playful, she will pull up Shen Yan's hands and walk backwards in front of her, letting Shen Yan walk forward on the two footprints she just stepped on, and the two of them stop and go. , moves clumsily like two wobbly tumblers. At that time, he laughed, Shen Yan smiled slightly, until he saw that his back was about to hit the lamp post, he stepped forward and hugged the person firmly, turned in one direction and put it down.
At that moment, Qi Jin would gently lift both ends of his scarf to cover their long kiss under the scarf.
"Ah, that—"
When he walked to a flowerbed, Qi Qin's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the low wall surrounding the flowerbed excitedly as a child: "I want to walk on that!"
While talking, he pulled Shen Yan over and stepped up one step at a time.
The low wall was about forty centimeters above the ground, and there was snow on it. Shen Yansheng was afraid that he might slip by accident, so he hurriedly helped him gently with his hands below, Qi Jin lowered his head and looked at him, a pair of curved eyebrows seemed to be very satisfied: "I... I want to walk on the low wall by myself, where is my boyfriend... Just grab my hand and help me walk under the wall, so I go up and down to the end of the wall."
—Then I threw myself into his arms and threw him on the ground and rolled and rolled. The latter sentence Qi Jin was embarrassed to say.
Shen Yan didn't say anything after listening to his "unreasonable" request, just smiled and agreed in a low voice, "Okay."
After all, he took Qi Jin and let him walk step by step on the long and narrow wall, kicking the snowdrifts while walking, causing the snow to splash everywhere, and sprinkle a layer of white flowers on the two's coats. Also smiling more and more heartily.
When the two reached the end of the flowerbed, they turned back and were about to walk again slowly when Tan Zixian's text message came at this time.
【Where are you? The guy said he was coming soon, let's meet at the Starbucks door. 】
"Ah, the fifth is coming soon, then let's go back."
"Ok."
Qi Jin was about to jump off the low wall by herself, but suddenly stopped, looked at Shen Yan and blinked, an idea came to her. Since there is no way to pounce, then it is always possible to change the way, right
So he slightly raised the corners of his lips and whispered, "Hold me down."
Shen Yan was stunned at first when he heard the words, and then only heard him laugh. When he laughed, a soft and light mist appeared on his lips.
He didn't speak, just stretched out his hands and hugged Qi Jin's waist, and carefully lifted the person up slowly first, and then put it down firmly in front of him.
This action, this process only took a short second or two, but Qi Jin felt that his heart was filled with a jar of honey, and his smile completely burst when his feet touched the ground, and his hands tightly hugged Shen Yan's shoulders, Make up a kiss for the "reward"... and the "award time" is longer than any other.
It was the first time I kissed this person on the street where people came and went, but I felt very calm. Calm to the point of happiness—
"Let's go," he said, burying his head deep in the other's arms.
Having said that, he still closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of this moment wholeheartedly, completely reluctant to let go.
Shen Yan smiled silently.
"Call 'Ayan' and I'll go with you." The man's low whispered voice hit his heart one by one, making it pounding.
Cunning... Cunning every time this critical moment comes.
"Don't think... it works every time." He lowered his voice and resisted a little.
But when the person in front of him quietly grabbed half of his red ears and slowly bit it from top to bottom, he couldn't resist, and in the end he let this person succeed.
"Ayan." The voice buried in the collar was very hoarse, warmed by the scarf, and it sounded a little hot in the cold weather.
Shen Yan smiled contentedly, and finally "tweeted" gently on the warm ear, and hugged her silently for a long time before she was willing to let go and returned the same way.
Tan Zixian had actually arrived early, and had been standing in front of the coffee shop for a while before sending the text message.
He knew that the two of them would definitely take some time to come back, so he walked slowly towards Starbucks without rushing along the way, and when he arrived, it was convenient for him to open his mailbox with his mobile phone under the wall to read work emails until A car that stopped on the side of the road hurriedly lowered its windows towards him.
"They haven't come back yet," Tan Zixian walked over calmly, stood in front of the car and said to the people in the car, "Just wait."
Qiu Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the people had not arrived yet.
Tan Zixian glanced at the person who looked like he was temporarily exempted from death, raised the corner of his lips calmly, and continued to look down his emails. Qiu Tianyang came back to his senses at this time and said hurriedly, "Get in the car first, it's cold outside."
Tan Zixian shook his head: "It's the same whether I go or not. I'm an outsider. It's better if I don't go. I'll come out and have a blast anyway. When they arrive, I'll take a taxi back by myself."
Seeing that Qiu Tianyang seemed to be stunned for a while, he left a light sentence: "Close the window, you know it's cold outside..."
"Zixian," Qiu Tianyang suddenly called softly, "Please."
Such a voice in such a tone is simply a foul. However, he has never been able to be a hard-hearted referee—
Tan Zixian frowned and thought silently for two seconds. In the end, he moved his footsteps, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. He quietly closed the door and closed the window. Although he had a look of "since you begged me, I will pity you once" from beginning to end, Qiu Tianyang smiled relievedly, and let go of the steering wheel with his right hand and gently stretched out to hold the other's left hand in his hand. In fact, it is not too cold, but it is more reassuring to rub it.
Tan Zixian quietly let him rub from the back of his hand to the palm of his hand, leaning on his seat and quietly looking at the streets and alleys in the distance.
There were no lights in the car.
No matter how dark or dark the night was, there was still light in a corner of the brightly lit city that shone into the car window and refracted into pieces of light on his spectacles. I have had this experience of people hurriedly rushing through the light during the festival outside, and I sat alone in a room with no lights on and watched from afar—the difference is that now there is someone next to me holding my hand, where it seems to be. Not so cool.
"Have you had a fever again?" The man's hands were warm and annoying. It's really annoying for someone like him who is used to low temperatures.
The purpose of this sentence is not only to remind the other party to let go, but also to mock him overtly and secretly for the last time he sat at the door all night and had a high fever the next day.
"I'm going to have a fever, will you take care of me?" Qiu Tianyang's voice was deep and deep, and in this confined space, there was almost a feeling of oscillating and whirling from the loudspeaker. As expected of a person who was once a great god back then, even this kind of reaction to teasing himself is excellent.
"You're less poor." Tan Zixian's tone may have made Qiu Tianyang think that he was about to pull out his hand, so he squeezed his palm tightly at that moment, but unexpectedly, the other party did not pull out his hand, and he grabbed it like this On the other hand, the grasp is firmer, and even if you earn it, you will not be able to break free.
Tan Zixian frowned, and finally turned his head to face him.
I saw Qiu Tianyang staring at him motionlessly in the dim light, those eyes were really flawless, beautiful and divine, even though he had gotten used to seeing it for more than a year, being stared at him so earnestly, breathless. Still a little stagnant.
"It's almost Christmas, what gift do you want?" So did the eyes and the voice.
Tan Zixian looked away again.
"Nothing in particular."
At least, he has no material pursuits, and he has bought everything that money can buy that should be bought. Holidays like Christmas or New Years are not too bad for him.
"When I just came back to the company, I told our boss that Christmas Eve and Christmas have already been released. How do you want to arrange it?" Since the other party didn't say anything, Qiu Tianyang sold himself on his own initiative. Light bullying leaned forward, grabbed the opponent's hand and put it on his cheek. A few fingers with low body temperature touched the skin with high body temperature, and there was a brief numbness at the slightest touch, "Huh?"
Now that you're ready, why bother asking yourself what you want.
Since you already know the answer, why ask again.
The more Tan Zixian thought about it, the more hateful the other party was, so his face turned cold, he suddenly leaned in the direction of that person, and inadvertently touched the tip of the other party's nose in the faint light, he let out a sigh of relief. It ran down the corners of his lips to his temples, itching slightly.
"You're so sincere, why don't you spare tonight?"
"Tonight—" When all the conversations are over, it was meant for you.
Before he could finish speaking, Tan Zixian's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Qi Jin's text message that arrived, and it is estimated that people have also arrived.
The two of them were stunned for a while, but Tan Zixian regained his senses first, stepped back slightly, separated from the other party, returned to his seat, picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it as if nothing had happened: "They're here. "
Qiu Tianyang smiled bitterly, lowered the car window again, and saw Qi Jin and Shen Yan walking towards this side.
He stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Return, this way."
But dare not say hello to another person.
Qi Jin saw Qiu Tianyang from a distance, and beckoned to him, and at the same time gently squeezed Shen Yan's hand, which was on the other hand.
Shen Yan took a slow breath, and without stopping, walked side by side with Qi Jin.
When they got into the car, Qi Jin was sitting behind Tan Zixian, and Shen Yan was sitting behind Qiu Tianyang—a very easy-to-see angle in the rear-view mirror. Qiu Tianyang adjusted the seat cautiously to make more space behind him, but when he started the engine and turned on the signal to leave the street, as a driver, he still had to look in the rearview mirror.
At a glance, Shen Yan's pair of dark eyes met him silently, his eyes were calm, but to him it was like a dark sea after nightfall, and he couldn't tell whether there was a turbulent dark tide underneath, and for a moment he felt in his heart. Somewhat panicked, he quickly looked away.
Tan Zixian glanced at the uncomfortable look of the man in the driver's seat, and casually started chatting with Qi Wei about some topics he had just had dinner with the teachers.
Qi Jin also spoke very naturally.
With them talking all the way in the car, the atmosphere is not so stiff.
The place Qiu Tianyang chose was actually quite close to the hotel where they stayed. On the one hand, it was also considered that if the conversation was late at night, it would be convenient to send the two of them back to rest.
It was a restaurant mainly engaged in western food, with private rooms and a bar, the style was relatively high-end, and the consumption was of course higher than that of ordinary places to eat. Qiu Tianyang booked a box early, and the location was also selected farther from the outside business hall. Basically, after entering, he could not hear the music outside at all, and the sound insulation was very good.
After the waiter led them to their place, they left four menus for them to choose from.
Because the four of them had eaten something before, but they were not hungry, so they ordered a few snacks first, and the waiter asked for drinks after they were delivered. Because they still had recording work the next day, Qiu Tianyang couldn't drink much even if he wanted to drive, so he only chose a Western wine with a very low degree. After that, he looked at Shen Yan embarrassingly, and after a while he smiled weakly to ask for advice: "… Is this ok?"
Shen Yan didn't look at him, just shook her head gently: "I don't drink."
The scene suddenly became awkward.
At this time, Qi Jin smiled and took over: "He doesn't drink because he doesn't usually drink much - it doesn't matter, I'll drink for him."
Qiu Tianyang hurriedly smiled at Qi Jin, and was very grateful that he came out to make a relief: "You can also order another on your return date, you don't have to drink this."
At this time, Tan Zixian suddenly said: "The wine on the menu is all bottled wine, and you can buy it outside, so it's nothing special. I want to try the cocktail specially made by the bartender of this hotel tonight. I heard that the reviews are not bad. Would you like to go to the bar with me and try a drink and come back?"
Suggestion - This is the cue that creates their chance for a one-on-one conversation.
Qi Qin was taken aback.
"Sounds good," Qi Jin raised his head and smiled at Qiu Tianyang and Shen Yan. He took the initiative to get up from his seat and responded to Tan Zixian's invitation, "Then ask the waiter to take us there for a while, and you can talk slowly."
As he spoke, he gave Shen Yan a deep look.
Shen Yan looked back at each other, and nodded her head silently, because she could handle it well and reassure him.
Qi Jin sighed in relief when he saw this. On the other hand, Qiu Tianyang was surprised when he heard that the two of them were going to leave. Obviously, the psychological construction had not been fully completed, and he looked at the two people who were about to withdraw from the conversation with some bewilderment. But there is no way, once the opportunity is missed, it will never come again.
Qi Jin was silent, followed the waiter and Tan Zixian out of the box one after the other, and closed the door silently.
"Click", the door lock snapped.
"Crack" was also the sound of Qiu Tianyang's swaying thoughts being cut by scissors. Once it is cut off, the train of thought will not be able to be connected, and it will become a disaster for a while.
Although I knew from the beginning that Qi Jin and the others might intentionally create opportunities for them to be alone, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. I didn't even take a sip of wine and use alcohol to be brave enough to speak out. Abruptly pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Now, Shen Yan was motionless in the seat next to him, and even the sound of his calm breathing seemed to be the wind that was rising and falling on the cliff, which could cause him to stumble and fall if he was not careful.
It's really... I haven't faced each other for too long, it's really bottomless.
"I… "
In the empty box, only this word slowly spread, and it sounded even more bottomless. So the voice stopped for a while before finally continuing: "I, pour the water for you."
As he said that, he reached out and poured water into the glass in front of Shen Yan.
Perhaps it was because of the slight trembling of his hand, the water overflowing from the bottle was swaying, and it was about to pour out of the cup when he bumped into it. Accidentally knocked over the cup, and half of the water in it splashed onto the table with a "pop", and part of it directly wet Shen Yan's knees.
Qiu Tianyang's face changed, and he hurriedly found a tissue to wipe: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Shen Yan silently watched him wipe from the tabletop to the corner of the table, and after holding the cup several times, he finally straightened up. This embarrassing appearance was not pretended to be, and suddenly he sighed softly.
Hearing his sigh, Qiu Tianyang's movements suddenly stopped.
Why sigh
Disgust, impatience, or—
At this time, he heard Shen Yan speak in a low voice: "You don't have to be so nervous, I didn't come here to quarrel."
Qiu Tianyang was stunned for a while, and his smile seemed to be splashed with water, a little messy.
"Yes… "
The two sat silently for a while.
Shen Yan did not speak.
He didn't speak either.
Now, I can only continue to wipe the tabletop silently and get through this embarrassment. Qiu Tianyang was planning this, but at this moment he heard Shen Yan's colorless and tasteless words: "Is Dad okay?"
