Cloudside Café
Chapter 14: Fourteenth cup of coffee
"What do you call me?"
"Madam, isn't it used like that?"
Jiang Ying took a sigh of relief, aside his eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, that's how you use it. You are so smart."
Seeing Yunxian parked his car in the service area, Jiang Ying asked, "Are you going to get off the car and smoke a cigarette?"
"I don't smoke. Do you want to smoke?"
Remembering that it seemed that Yun Xian had never smoked before, Jiang Ying shook his head: "No, I'm quitting."
Yun Xian suggested: "Then get off the bus and do activities. I've been on the road all the way."
Jiang Yingying is good.
Jiang Ying entered the bathroom in the service area. Yun Xian bought a cup of oden outside, and when Jiang Ying came out, he handed her the cup.
"Actually, I'm not hungry." Jiang Ying held the warm oden, and the sweet and sour ketchup scented the tip of her nose. A sandwich is half full at best, but she doesn't want Yun Xian to think she can eat it.
Yun Xian licked her lips and glanced at her, as if she couldn't bear to tell her the truth: "I bought it for myself, I'm hungry. Could you please help me get it first."
After speaking, he pulled the door and got into the car. Jiang Ying stayed there for a few seconds, scolding himself for being passionate, and slowly climbed into the car with embarrassment.
Back in the car, Jiang Ying held the cup of oden and sat upright, like a car mascot.
Yun Xian took a string of North Pole wings, bit it in his mouth gently, and chewed carefully while starting the car to go back on the road.
The vehicles on the elevated highway kept moving forward. Jiang Ying felt that the cup of oden would be cold if he didn't eat it, so he took a bunch of fish **** and handed them to Yun Xian's mouth.
Yun Xian looked down at the fish ball in front of him, and quickly regained his eyes ahead, and moved his head slightly forward and took a ball away.
Seeing that he had finished chewing, Jiang Ying passed the wooden stick again.
When he finished eating a bunch of fish balls, Yun Xian laughed and joked: "For the first time, I think there is someone so nice next to me driving, and I can feed it when I am hungry."
Jiang Ying continued to take a bunch of sweet and not spicy: "Yes, I can still chat with you."
After Yunxian ate two skewers, he said that he would not eat it. Jiang Ying happily contracted the remaining food based on the principle of not wasting food.
"Jiang Ying." Yunxian called her suddenly, "There is water in the back seat, help me get it."
"Oh, good." Jiang Ying stretched out his arm to reach the mineral water bottle, twisted the cap and carefully handed it to his mouth.
Yun Xian raised her head slightly to cooperate with her movement. Unable to grasp the angle, Jiang Ying lifted a little high, and the water flowed down the corners of Yun Xian's lips, and it was about to drip from his chin. Jiang Ying subconsciously wiped it off with the back of his hand.
This action didn't go through the brain at all. When the skin on the back of his hand touched Yun Xian's lower lip, Jiang Ying withdrew his hand like it was burned.
She cleared her throat and sat up straight again. There was still a water stain on the back of her left hand. Jiang Ying didn't dare to touch it, and she didn't know what to do.
Yun Xian drew a napkin from the glove box and handed it to her.
Jiang greeted him and said, "Thank you."
When the paper towels were covered, Jiang Ying heartedly thought of the soft touch just now.
There seemed to be a small bug crawling on the back of her left hand, itching and numb, she wiped it casually, and put the tissue in her palm.
Those who are surprised are also rascals.
Jiang Ying shook his head vigorously, as if trying to get rid of all the images that appeared in his mind.

All the way to the hotel they booked in Shanghai, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. After returning to each room to put the luggage, Jiang Ying took Yun Xian to eat at a grilled fish shop she used to go to when she was in college.
After a long time, Jiang Ying's stomach was opened as soon as she entered the store and smelled the fragrance. After the food was on the table, she took one bite after another, and the chopsticks couldn't stop at all.
Yunxian picked up the fishbone in the bowl and asked her, "Isn't it about losing weight?"
Jiang Ying picked up a chopstick of cold seaweed: "I will walk around the hotel twice, so I can digest and digest."
Yun Xian smiled and put the fish that had been picked on the plate in front of her: "Don't get fat, eat more."
After eating and drinking, Jiang Ying touched her lower abdomen and suggested, "Would you like to go for a walk by the river? It's pretty close here."
Before Yun Xian could speak, she retorted herself: "Forget it, don't go."
Yun Xian asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go back, I'm a little tired." Jiang Ying looked completely uninterested.
Yun Xian said nothing, and took a sip from the water glass on the table.
If another day were changed, Jiang Ying wouldn't respond like this.
It happens that tomorrow is Lu Tingyang's birthday, and it is also his wedding day.
Six years ago, Lu Tingyang, who was still in his junior year, invited Jiang to the Huangpu River and said to her: "I come here every birthday to take a picture."
At that time, Jiang Ying let out a "wow" and happily took out his mobile phone to take pictures of him.
Lu Tingyang retained a clean youthful spirit that year. He smiled and took Jiang Ying's mobile phone, put his arms around the girl's shoulders, raised his arms and pointed the viewfinder at the two of them.
The moment he pressed the camera button, Lu Tingyang bowed his head and kissed Jiang Ying's side face.
Although Jiang Ying felt very ashamed, the photo was finally washed out by Lu Tingyang, and it was posted on the cabinet in his dormitory.
Since then, being together has become a matter of course.
But it was just like Lu Tingyang's complaint to her during the breakup—from the beginning, he was constantly moving forward and taking ninety-nine steps bravely and fearlessly, but Jiang Ying always stood in place, waiting to accept his kindness.
Over time, they will be tired and bored, and they are not the right lovers.
Jiang Ying doesn't know how to fight, but is very good at messing up a relationship.
When she was really going to separate, she kept silent and was a little too calm.
Even when Lu Tingyang ridiculed her coldly, "You are really unworthy of falling in love", Jiang Ying didn't say anything.
She only stopped Lu Tingyang when he was about to leave and asked him—"Do you like everything about me, or just the part of me you want to see?"
In the past so many years, the past has become no longer important, and it just sighs when I think of it.
Later, Jiang Ying also reflected on herself and this relationship, she is indeed not a qualified lover.
Love is a thing that goes both ways, you can't always wait for others to come.
At this moment, she looked at the man sitting opposite, gentle and steady, and did not do anything arrogant or arrogant, she looked eager and envious.
Thinking of what Shen Xuan had said, Jiang Ying tapped gently on the table with his fingers.
If you like it, hold it firmly in your hand.
—It seems it’s time to take a step towards him.
—
When they arrived at the hotel, Yunxian and Jiang Ying said goodbye at the entrance of the stairs and went back to their rooms.
Jiang greeted early the next day. She suffered from insomnia last night. She only slept for two hours. Right now there are two groups of black green and some swelling. After gritting her teeth and drinking half a cup of black coffee, she frowned bitterly.
At ten o'clock, Jiang Ying cleaned up and went out of the room to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Yun Xian was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, with a glass of ice American in front of him. When Jiang Ying walked over, he also just raised his head.
Yun Xian got up and waved to her. With a long body and standing jade, it is easy to become the focus of the crowd. He was wearing a crisp white shirt, his hem was tucked into light-colored trousers, he appeared to have a narrow waist and long legs, and a pair of clean white casual shoes on his feet, casual and clear and handsome.
Jiang Ying walked up to him, and she was able to reach his nose in high heels today.
Yun Xian slightly raised his arm to her, and Jiang Ying pulled it up.
"Let's go."
Today is a rare sunny day in recent times. The sun penetrates through the clouds and the world is full of gold. The cicadas cried long, the early summer wind blew the long street and pedestrians, the girl's hair was fluttering, and the skirt was swaying.
The wedding was held outdoors. Jiang Ying took out the wedding invitation, registered the gift at the front desk, and walked inside following the instructions of the staff.
Lu Tingyang didn't charge her money, so she asked Shen Xuan's husband to prepare a bottle of fine wine as a wedding gift.
The wine was expensive, and Shen Xuan told her and Yun Xian to remember to pick expensive ones before he came.
Meals are self-service, with a banquet room dedicated to entertain guests. When the wedding was about to get together auspicious, the waiting guests were in groups, some chatting to reminisce about the past, and some lingering on the food on the table.
Jiang Ying competed with a five or six-year-old girl in the dessert area. There was the last bowl of strawberry ice cream on the plate, but obviously they all wanted it and they had to.
A little girl naturally couldn't grab Jiang Ying. Seeing ice cream in someone else's hands, she wowed and started crying. Jiang Yingdown wouldn't really bully her, he gave her the ice cream in his hand if he had enough tricks. The little girl changed her face in an instant, scooped the ice cream and ran away.
Yunxian stood quietly and witnessed the whole process, covering Jiang Ying's head with his big hand and rubbing it, and asked, "How come you are like a child?"
Jiang Ying smiled at him and pointed to the little girl who ran away and said, "This is the daughter of Sister Lu Tingyang. I went to the hospital to see her when she was born. She has grown up like this."
Yun Xian drank the tea in the cup, his eyes darkened, and he did not answer.
The biggest advantage of self-help is that you don't have to be at the same table with people you don't know or who you don't know. Lu Tingyang's relatives and friends, Jiang Ying, don't recognize much.
At 12:18, the wedding finally began.
Yunxian and Jiang Ying chose the last row to sit down.
The most dazzling person at the wedding is always the new couple. Cheers and applause rang out. Among the petals falling all over the sky, the beautiful bride in a white wedding dress took his father and walked towards the groom.
Then they took oaths, exchanged rings, and kissed affectionately in the blessings of everyone.
Separated from the crowd, Jiang Ying looked at the pair of well-matched couples from a distance.
Yun Xian looked at her for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Is it difficult to make sense?"
Jiang Ying asked back: "How is it possible?"
The wedding was still going on, and they whispered outside the lively crowd.
"When I was with him, he was very naive. He likes to be well-behaved, clingy, and able to act like a baby, and I have a bohemian soul." When Jiang Ying said these things, his tone of voice was calm, and he took a few minutes. Smile.
Yun Xian cast his gaze on the bride, who was indeed sweet, thin and small.
Jiang Ying sighed lightly: "The personality is not suitable. It's natural to separate. It's just a bit of emotion."
Yun Xian asked, "What are you feeling?"
Jiang Ying replied in such a deep tone: "The ex, help you grow up, teach you how to love, and then it has nothing to do with you. The predecessors planted trees, the descendants took advantage of the shade. So, the time of meeting Very important. There is a saying to say, meet later, love longer."
Yun Xian lowered his eyes and said softly: "Fortunately."
Jiang Ying did not hear clearly, looked at him blankly and asked, "What did you say?"
Yunxian met her gaze, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "It's nothing."
After the ceremony, they returned to the banquet room. The bride and groom took turns toasting to the guests present. Jiang Ying then really saw Lu Tingyang and his new wife.
He was wearing a straight suit and his hair was meticulously treated with hairspray. He took his wife to Jiang Ying's table, glanced at her, and laughed at each other.
Those past and entanglements were all relieved in this smile.
Holding a wine glass in one hand, Lu Tingyang introduced to his wife next to him: "This is my school girl Jiang Ying. The game you love to play recently is made by their company."
The beautiful bride showed a surprised expression: "Really?"
Lu Tingyang said: "Of course, she is the chief planner."
Jiang Ying smiled and turned Yunxian away: "This is my boyfriend, Yunxian."
Yun Xian stretched out his hand and shook Lu Tingyang's hand. Lu Tingyang said "Happy meeting" and Yun Xian replied "Happy newlywed".
The bride looked up and down at Yun Xian, and excitedly took Jiang Ying's arm and said, "Your boyfriend's temperament and Jian Ying look like!"
Jiang Ying was stunned, and generously admitted: "It's true, the prototype is him."
If it weren't for several tables waiting to toast, it is estimated that these two women who met late would have to have a good chat for a while.
When the bride and groom left, Yun Xian couldn't help but ask Jiang Ying curiously: "What did you mean by that?"
Jiang Ying stuffed a piece of spare ribs into his mouth, and answered vaguely: "That is, I used your image as a reference when designing the character."
"Oh—" Yunxian deliberately dragged the tail sound, "Why didn't you tell me then?"
Jiang Ying choked as he swallowed.
How to say? At that time, you were so handsome and fascinated. Do you paint everything like you?
She continued to gnaw on the ribs, using silence instead of answering. Fortunately, Yun Xian didn't plan to dig into the roots.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when he got out of the hotel, Jiang Ying asked Yunxian if he wanted to go out for a stroll, and Yunxian readily agreed.
Jiang Ying has stayed in Shanghai for four years, and it is rare to come back once and there are many places he wants to go.
They first went to Nanjing Road, where there are lots of snacks. The high heels worn by Jiang Ying didn't feel much at first, but when they walked a lot, they found that their heels were worn out.
Yunxian noticed her abnormality and helped her sit down on a bench on the street.
A layer of skin was worn through the heel, bloody, and aching pain.
Jiang Ying looked at the horrible wound, and muttered in a low voice, "I knew it would not smell like this beauty."
Sitting on a bench, looking at the lively street, and emptying your brain, it's quite comfortable.
Just as Jiang Ying didn't know where his thoughts were floating, Yun Xian suddenly said, "I want to confirm one thing."
She returned to her senses and asked in a daze, "What?"
The ringtone of an incoming call rang, and Jiang Ying was held by someone's wrist as soon as he raised his mobile phone.
"It's Xiangqin." After the confirmation, Yun Xian cut off the phone.
Jiang Ying stared at the phone, tightly guarding the phone in his arms, and said in anger, "Why are you doing this?"
Yun Xian only asked: "Why do you want to note this for me?"
Human and physical evidence were present, Jiang Ying's brain was running fast and couldn't think of any good reason, so he simply told the truth: "I have my Arbor Day birthday, and my surname is Jiang. Shen Xuan always calls me Jiang Zhishu and Jiang Zhishu."
Thinking of what, Jiang Ying asked cautiously: "You should know who Jiang Zhishu belongs to."
Yun Xian laughed angrily: "I'm not that old."
Jiang Ying continued, his voice getting smaller and smaller: "I just gave you notes with a twitch of my mind."
With light on her back, she couldn't see the expression on Yun Xian's face.
Nanjing Road is very lively, and the sun is shining brilliantly on everything in the late spring and early summer.
All kinds of shops were crowded with people, and fireworks circulated in the world.
After a long while, Jiang Ying heard Yun Xian say: "It's all Xiangqin Naoki. How about that kiss?"
The author has something to say: coming soon.
