sinking in his peril

Sour fruit juice, bitter coffee, spicy brandy, sweet honey, complex without layers is actually very simple.

"Do you mind if I smoke?" Zhong Ruoxi asked softly while steering the steering wheel.

"Well, it's fine."

Xu Zhizhi used to hate smoking. She was educated properly since she was a child, and always associated smoking with terminal lung diseases. She wished that the world would be smoke-free from now on.Later, I saw a woman lighting a cigarette very elegantly, sitting in the lobby of the hotel, she looked like an old Shanghai woman, and the slender figure in the cheongsam seemed to be visible in the smoke. From then on, I felt that the smoke was really an embellishment essentials.

She watched him light a cigarette and hold it between his slender fingers, but he was only holding on to the steering wheel. The smell of tobacco floated in the air, although it was not strong, it was densely stained on everything.8f
He opened the window halfway, blowing in the cold wind, and the car drove very fast again, Xu Zhizhi's short hair flew up to her eyes, and she brushed it away with her hand.

"I cut my hair too. New job? New start? Huh?" His words were indistinguishable, but the speed of the car was getting faster and faster.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhizhi tried to stop him, but only touched his hand, she retracted like a burn, glanced at him, and let him drag the car in silence.

He smiled lightly, the corners of his eyes slightly rolled up, and slowed down the car: "What are you doing?" Then he shook his head, and the hand holding the cigarette lightly held his forehead, "I should ask myself this sentence - so until now you Or avoid me?"

Xu Zhizhi leaned on the back of the chair wearily, listening to his words, but didn't seem to listen at all—she always felt strange, as long as she was with Zhong Ruoxi, it was always easy for her to lose all her emotions— —The last time I was able to cry in the street, thinking about it afterwards, this crying, the emotions accumulated over the years, unexpectedly brought some comedy.

"Shall we find a place to talk?"

"where?"

"Whatever." Xu Zhizhi really had a lot of explanations and a lot of things she wanted to say to him. With such a cold look on his face, he began to feel faintly bored, so she turned her head to look out the window—it was already a very familiar scene, but she suddenly lightened With a cry, is the cafeshop reopened?

"Just go there." She showed him her finger.

Zhong Ruoxi glanced at it, and his face became even greener—she might have forgotten it long ago, but he remembered it clearly, that was the place where he first met her—going around, does it mean that he will end at the origin?So he couldn't help but snorted.

She waited outside the door for him to park the car, watching him stride towards her.He opened the door for her, and there were not many customers in the store—but she looked at the bar first, as if nothing had changed, Sister Ling was carefully wiping those bone china cups.Looking up and seeing her, he greeted with a faint smile, "Come here?"

Those eyes are no longer charming, but have a clear aftertaste, which is probably always the case for people with a clear mind.

Xu Zhizhi smiled back at her, didn't say anything, just sat in her usual seat.

She ordered a cup of hot chocolate, Zhong Ruoxi looked at her, looked down, and said in a deep voice: "Lemon coffee." - A note on the menu reads: sour juice, bitter coffee, spicy brandy , sweet honey—

"sweet"?Why can I always think of this word as long as she is by my side?Zhong Ruoxi looked at her cheeks that were blown red by the wind, and couldn't help but want to smooth out the messy hair at her temples.However, it is obvious that the mood is sour now.

"What are you going to say?" The brown coffee cup with sliced ​​lemons was gently placed in front of him.Looking at it like this, Zhong Ruoxi's side face is deep and sharp.His eyes also focused on the distance.The falling raindrops seemed to disturb the quiet eyes.

Seeing Xu Zhizhi like this, she really couldn't open her mouth. After a long while, she said leisurely: "I used to think of love as everything—you know, when I'm in love, I live a prosperous life, but when I'm broken in love—probably I've won my own love. Autism. I almost forgot that I am also a very motivated person.”

She stirred the hot chocolate in front of her eyes, and smiled, "Actually, I also know that it's not good for me. I just came to work in Nandai for a few months, and I don't like it—but so what if I don't like it, I still have to do it well." .”

Zhong Ruoxi stared at her, she spoke so calmly, it seemed that since he met, he had never heard her talk about her life so calmly, her expression was quiet, her dark eyes focused on his own, without any Do not escape.

"I really don't like hotels. I come and go, get together and disperse, there is no fixed number, and I always feel flustered. Have I told you? I actually like being a teacher." She paused unnaturally, His gaze also became hot in an instant, "It's not because of that reason—it's just that I think the winter and summer vacations are very good, and I can go around and have fun. Later, I felt that this job is stable, and I like the feeling of being a student."

Zhong Ruoxi didn't interrupt her, but slowly stretched out her hand, and gently covered her hand - her hand was always cold, her tone was cold and sad, as if the steaming hot cup in front of her Even the chocolate can't keep warm.

Xu Zhizhi was stunned for a while, her hands were warm and dry, but she felt a little awkward, pulled her hands away, and smiled at him apologetically.

Yes, when I was young, I felt that the world would be turned upside down without love-in fact, after getting through it, life is like this.Just looking for a tranquility, in fact, is better than anything else, comfortable——

She just didn't expect—really didn't expect to meet such a man in the end, and said to herself softly: "Just don't move, wait for me to walk slowly...you must be more patient than me..."

But she knew that she had been afraid all the time, she was afraid of being emotionally involved, and the end result was still the same - there was always someone approaching first, but she would still leave in the end.This principle has never changed.

It turns out that when a person grows up, he can measure and finally choose——she still loves herself the most, and chooses a way of life she likes for herself.

Thin snowflakes began to fall, mixed in the light rain. As long as there was a car driving by outside and the headlights were shaking, the hexagonal crystals in the beam of light could be clearly seen, fluffy and cute.

As the coffee cooled down, his fingertips touched the wall of the cup, refreshing his heart—Zhong Ruoxi suddenly felt that he had never understood her heart well—he once thought, with his patience and everything, with his usual pride, It's always possible to do everything.

So at the beginning she avoided her repeatedly, and after knowing her past, he always took it easy and felt that there was enough time to resolve it-and she must also accept him.

In fact, he should have known earlier that her estrangement from him was not a vulgar play hard to get.In the dense forest of emotions, there is never a certainty. She is also different from ordinary girls. When facing him, she doesn't seem to know what embarrassment is.She was at a loss, but when he wanted to get close to her, she couldn't help dodging like a frightened bunny.

But she didn't know - the idea of ​​Xmas came from himself, and the mobile phone numbered 0001 was truly unique - the jeweler designed several drafts before finalizing the shape of the cup of coffee.She didn't want to go to work, so I arranged for her to go out to work.She thought it was a chance encounter outside the supermarket, but in fact he had been waiting outside the supermarket that day when he met her going out.Before she knew this, she explained to him that the reason for her leaving was just for her mood.
