Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 22 Love

90 meters from the east gate of Lanhua Commercial Building, there is a "True Love Coffee House". Although it is only more than 100 square meters, it is very elegant and unique, especially the European and American nostalgic music played by the gramophone in the store. It has become a place where many lovers and men in Wutong County linger .

Jinlin was waiting for Caining to leave the night shift at the east gate of Lanhua Commercial Building. He checked the time and there were still 10 minutes left, so he walked slowly to the True Love Cafe. Caining came here to drink coffee and chat freely.

Jinlin walked out of the coffee shop and came to the east gate of the Orchid Plaza. Cai Ning was walking out of the Orchid Plaza with a smile on her face. Jinlin went forward happily:

"Hello Caining."

"Hi Jinlin, have you been waiting for a long time?" Cai Ning stared at Jinlin with an incomparably sweet heart.

"I will be happy as long as I wait for you, and I won't feel tired."

"Jinlin, your language always fascinates me."

"Caining, how about we go to the True Love Cafe in front?" Jin Lin asked happily.

After Caining heard this, although she was smiling, she felt helpless in her heart:

Jinlin, you don't know me, I never like to eat out, but you brought it up, how could I have the heart to refuse you:
"Okay, let's go."

Jin Lin read a trace of helplessness in Cai Ning's eyes: Cai Ning, don't you like dating me and having a romantic dinner together, why do you have a melancholy look in your eyes?

Seeing Jinlin's eyes, Caining was a little sad: Jinlin, what's the matter with you, is it because I refused Xu Qing not to go to your hotel as the deputy general manager, which made you unhappy, but I really can't go.

Before the two met each other, they could walk into each other's hearts, but after they got acquainted, they felt unfamiliar and suspicious, because they were worried that one day they would break up, which would be a painful blow to these two kind-hearted people. In this kind of worry, they can't feel what is in each other's heart, and everything is so confusing to them, but the happiness still continues:
At the True Love Coffee House, Cai Ning ordered a cup of slightly sweet coffee, and Ai Wu Ji Wu and Jin Lin also ordered the same.Cai Ning seemed to see the clue, and asked Yan Ran:

"Jinlin, do you also like sweet coffee?"

"Of course I like it!"

"I guess, you are a little bit wrong, you should like a little bit bitter?"

"Caining, how did you guess it?" Jin Lin asked happily.

"It's not my guess. In fact, that kind of coffee is the best." Cai Ning said with a charming smile.

"Caining, why do you still order something sweet?"

"I won't tell you." Jin Lin felt sincerely happy seeing Cai Ning so happy:

"Caining, I think you should feel that love makes you so sweet, so..."

"Jinlin, why are you so straightforward! Come back next time, I will buy you a cup of the bitterest, 'punish' you." Cai Ning stared sweetly at Jinlin and said.

"Well, I am willing to be 'punished' happily."

"Jinlin, the nautilus shell you gave me is very beautiful and I like it very much."

"When I first arrived in Xingang, I always wanted to buy you a gift, but there was no suitable one. Until the last day, I found it, and it was the only one in that shop. Maybe it was fate."

Caining listened, her eyebrows were soothed, her eyes filled with tenderness, she took out an exquisite light blue gift box from the pocket of her windbreaker, looked at Jinlin gently and expectantly and said:
"Jin Lin, this is a gift from me. Open it and see if you like it?"

Jin Lin felt flattered and happy when he took the gift box. He opened the gift box carefully, and found a very high-end and exquisite sandalwood comb, exuding a faint fragrance.

Jinlin held it in his hand, watched and savored it carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually a very docile and exquisite little snake engraved on it, lying on the end of the comb handle, even the scales were clearly visible:

"Caining, is this your work?"

"I know you are a snake, so I sculpted all night yesterday. Fortunately, today is the evening shift, otherwise..."

"Caining, you are so great! It is like the love engraved in my heart, which will never fade away! I will cherish this precious gift as much as my life and soul, because it contains your love for me like mountains and seas Affection, thank you, my love!"

Jinlin's poetic expression and sincere words made Caining's heart infinitely brilliant:
"Thank you Jinlin, I am very happy to see you love her so much!"

"Caining, I remember that once I didn't go to the cashier counter No. 7 where you were, it was because I went to the wrong place by mistake. It wasn't that I fell in love with that cashier. I need to clarify this point." Jin Lin said with a smile.

"Of course I know. Wasn't it me joking with you that day?"

"Caining, I actually wanted to confess my love to you that time. If I had confessed my love then, would you agree to me?"

"I guess I should, because your steely eyes tell me that you're as single as I am, and that's just a legendary feeling.

If you are married, we can get to know each other, so that we don’t have to be so entangled in our hearts, and let our gaze become a legend forever. We treat each other with the friendship between classmates, and the friendship between ordinary friends, and our hearts are as pure as orchids. Isn't it also a happy thing? "

"Caining, what you said is very good, but my thoughts at that time were different from yours. I remember the first time I met Meining, she sold cosmetics to me and said that I could give it to my wife. In fact, I I just thought, if you were my wife, my life would be brighter than the sun, so compared with you, although my heart is sincere, it is not pure enough."

"Jinlin, your heart is very pure, because you pursue a sincere and flawless love with ethics and morality in your heart, and you are willing to wait for me.

However, I was actually moved by Meining’s other you, and I couldn’t help falling in love with him. In order to show my loyalty to love, I hesitated to reject you the next day, you know, How sad it was when I rejected you, I didn't even dare to look you in the eyes, because I was so cruel to reject your kindness and sincerity.

Now every time I think of the 'two Jinlins', I blame myself. If you are not alone, maybe I will be very happy in reality, but I will regret it in the legend all my life, because of your perseverance I can't forget your eyes, so compared with you, I am ashamed. "

"Caining, there is no need to mention the past, and there is no need to reminisce about the tasteless sadness. Aren't we happy and lucky to enjoy the atmosphere of true love now?"

Cai Ning said with deep worry:

"Jinlin, but I don't know why every time I'm separated from you, it feels like parting. I'm very worried that we won't be able to get together. Although this is just my naive feeling, I'm really scared."

Looking into Cai Ning's eyes, Jin Lin resolutely said:

"Caining, how could it be? As long as you don't propose to break up, I will never leave you, not for the rest of my life."

Jin Lin's sincere and emotional words made Cai Ning feel a strong sense of security and at the same time, conflicts arose:

"Jinlin, thank you for your promise. I believe in you. If we really have to say goodbye one day, please don't wait for me."

"Caining, when we talked on the phone yesterday, I felt a kind of sadness in your voice, do you already feel that we will part ways one day?"

Cai Ning couldn't answer Jin Lin's question, the discussion of colleagues and Xu Qing's phone call made it difficult for her to get out of the embarrassing predicament, because Cai Ning was too kind and pure about love.

Caining stared at the coffee cup with sad eyes and said:

"Jinlin, let's drink coffee, it will be cold in a while."

……

The two walked out of the coffee house, the twilight was dim, Cai Ning stared at the dazzling lights but felt a tingling pain:
Why can't I bear your brilliance? Do I have to bear the greater pressure it brings me while enjoying the brilliance?

The heavy heart made Caining overwhelmed, her thin body tilted a little and almost fell, but fortunately Jinlin supported her: "Caining, what's wrong with you? Let's go to the hospital immediately!"

Jin Lin held Cai Ning in his arms very anxiously and caringly, fragile tears flashed in his resolute eyes.

Caining held Jinlin's hand tightly and said with a forced smile, "Don't worry, Jinlin, I'm fine, and I won't fall down because of you, maybe I'm a little tired from work these days, just go home and rest for a while. "

"Then I will send you?"

"No, call a taxi for me. I'll call you when I get home."

"Caining, how can I have the heart to let you go alone?" Jin Lin said with great distress.

Caining looked at Jinlin sincerely and expectantly and said, "Jinlin, thank you for your concern. When you love someone, you must respect his choice. Let me go home by myself?"

……

After Caining left, Jinlin was worried: This is the result of Caining's exhaustion for the "masterpiece" of true love...

Jin Lin took out the wooden comb containing Cai Ning's infinite sincerity, touching things with emotion, deep tears dripping on the "little snake", which was particularly dazzling under the "soaking" of the orange light, exuding true love golden light.
