Chapter 147 A cup of coffee.

Three months later, the United States.

When Gu Ling took the earliest flight to the United States, his mood had already changed from ecstatic at first to constant self-doubt, and even to self-loathing in the end.

So when he saw the cafe signboard with the word "shadow" in the distance, he was so timid that he couldn't take a step.

The coffee shop is very Buddhist-like on the seaside, where the flow of people is not too large. The extremely simple signboard has no sense of existence among the fancy signboards.

He arrived in the United States at 3:2 in the morning, and it took more than [-] hours to drive directly from the airport to here, with a stubble beard and a tired face.

No one would have guessed that this was the neurotic CEO Gu.

But before boarding the plane, Yu Jue took a look at Gu Ling, who was dressed as a down-and-out family, but was very satisfied. He rubbed his chin and joked, "Young master, you are here to seek peace. It's really not good to be too glamorous. This is very good, sister-in-law." I like you so much, I guess I can't even kill you if I want to chop you up."

Soon after, Yu Jue's words were confirmed, but it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he turned a blind eye to him like air.

The "Shadow" cafe didn't open until 9 o'clock, and Gu Ling waited on the side of the road for almost 4 hours before the staff of the cafe hung up the "open today" sign with a look of disgust on their faces.

After being blown by the cold wind for several hours, his hands and feet were so stiff that he didn't know where to put it. Gu Ling moved slowly into the store.

The clerk glanced at him leisurely, and continued the preparations before opening the store calmly, without greeting or chasing people away, as if he couldn't see himself.

Gu Ling glanced at the relatively spacious storefront, but there were only 7.8 tables arranged in an eloquent manner. Noticing that there was another floor upstairs, Gu Ling was concentrating and wanted to go upstairs.

Just about to take a step, "Hello," Xiaohui, the waiter in the coffee shop, pointed to the sign on the wall, and said unceremoniously, "Can't you see it?"

It was only then that Gu Ling found a "Stop" sign posted on the wall. He thought to himself, so Lin Zi might be sleeping in the store. He looked up at the top of the stairs, but there was no clue except for a few stairs.

"A cup of coffee." Speaking fluent English, Gu Ling took out a large dollar bill and handed it to the counter.

The people at the counter didn't even raise their heads, and the sound of running water from the faucet became the only sound in the cafe.

Gu Ling just remembered that the person who came in just now was speaking Mandarin to him, so he couldn't understand the meaning of English.

"Hello, I'd like to order a cup of coffee." Gu Ling repeated it slowly and concisely.

As a result, there is no response yet, yes, deaf?
"Xiaohui, take out the cappuccino from the warehouse, your sister will drink it later."

"Ok."

…………

"Hello," Gu Ling said again, "I want to..."

"No." The other party was more succinct than him, and gave the rejection cleanly, and the dissatisfaction in the voice was obvious.

Well, being blacklisted again, Gu Ling had no choice but to close his eyes, but he was used to it. If he hadn't been on the blacklist for the past few months, he might not be here today.

Suddenly there was a sound upstairs, and the sound came down through the wooden floor.

Gu Ling immediately straightened his hair and sleeves in a panic, and by the way, straightened his pants that were not dusty, and tidied them again in front of the glass mirror in the store.

Fortunately, except for the dull eyes, the beard is not shaved, the hair is not long enough to cover the eyes, the skin...

There seemed to be a lot of problems. I silently glanced at the upstairs, and there seemed to be no sound.

In his mind, Yu Jue's proposal was silently arguing with his dignity. It seemed a little too disrespectful to meet people like this, and would he be disgusted? Speculations such as these played out endlessly in Gu Ling's mind for the next hour. .

Awkward and unwilling to back down, like a young man in love.

Some expectations, but mixed with worry and fear, it made her angry, did something that broke her promise, and asked her to wait, which made her very disappointed.

Psychologically, he still hopes that Lin Zi will forgive him. Thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little guilty. Just because the other party likes him, he will bully him to death. Looking back on the past, Gu Ling is horrified to find that this is not the first time he has done this.

For the last time, I will never make you angry again.

The person upstairs came down, not Lin Zi, who was a little disappointed and disappointed, but also let out a long and inexplicable breath.

Will it stop coming, or will it disappear again? !

Gu Ling's nerves were immediately seized by this thought, and he stood there with numbness in his scalp. His mind was filled with the resolute back of Lin Zi who knew that he was coming and dragged his suitcase.

It's okay, the big deal is to go through the grinding process again.

Gu Ling finally remembered to pant, with impatience in his breath, he lay on the counter, looked at the teller inside and asked, "Is Lin Zi here?"

There is still no sound other than wiping and cleaning.

The psychological thought was silently confirmed again, Gu Ling frowned, took out the phone in his pocket, and was about to broadcast it.

"Handsome, looking for someone?"

It was a woman who had just come down from upstairs, wearing a loose cotton dress, classic cotton slippers on her feet, long hair loosely draped over her shoulders, looking lazily at Gu Ling and smiling.

"Looking for someone, Lin Zi, is she here?"

"Lin Zi? Girl," the woman smiled softly, moved lightly to Gu Ling, stared at his eyebrows, bit the corner of her lips and smiled softly: "What do you think of me? I'm more beautiful than the Lin Zi in your mouth Is it too much?"

Gu Ling moved back a few steps, distanced himself from the other party, his cold brows and eyes exuded displeasure, and an aura of alienation was propped up all over his body.

Recently, the grandson has pretended too much, and anyone dares to get close.

"No fun." The woman twitched the corner of her mouth, gave Gu Ling a blank look, and took a cup of black coffee from the counter and went upstairs.

Gu Ling found a secluded corner and sat down, his eyes were always on the steps of the door.

Quiet solitude is conducive to clear thinking. Without Lin Zi's consent, it is absolutely impossible to reveal her whereabouts. After all, in the past three months, he has exhausted all means.

So, since she was told, she shouldn't leave.

All we can do now is to wait patiently.

Compared to the three months when there was no news and no sun, Gu Ling felt that the waiting now was like early spring in March, which made people full of expectations.

Lin Zi came from the direction where Gu Ling was standing at first, even though it was only a vague outline at first, Gu Ling recognized her at first sight.

The folded hands on the table were instantly clenched tightly, and the feeling of ecstasy overwhelmed him. Gu Ling wanted to stand up and go to meet her outside the door, but in the end his vision was blurred, and his feet couldn't control him. Can't take a step.

He could only watch helplessly as the touch of lavender got closer and closer to him.

The surface is indifferent but the heart is extremely flustered, what should be the first sentence, what should be the first expression, the scene that has been previewed thousands of times.

At this moment, it was still as if seeing it for the first time, and I was at a loss.
