Come as scheduled

Son? "

Qian Jue stopped him.

"Going with you, are you okay?"

"No, let's go together!" Qian Jue said with a smile.

After passing the basketball court, they saw a few boys who were not in their class before, and they also saw Qian Sui.

"Squad leader—"

"Do you want to play a game?"

Qian Jue waved his hand, "You guys have no sense of time! School is over, you go back early!"

"Ah, I'm sorry." The man touched his head, "Got it!"

Qian Jue is indeed a very strange person, Xu Ningyi thought, this person is very popular, but he keeps a distance from most people, and he can even avoid being entangled by anyone.If this was the case, Zhou Shu would definitely have been semi-forcibly pulled in to play.

As for Xu Ningyi himself, he doesn't like to communicate with others, he feels that communication is a burden.

"Brother Ming is gay there."

While walking on the road, Xu Ningyi began to lose his mind again.He is willing to communicate with Qian Jue, willing to give himself a little more weight because of him.

"I know."

The heavier the burden, the deeper the emotion for that person.

"Someone in the school will see it."

Qian Jue understood, and after thinking about it, he said, "The frequency of twice a month should not be discovered, right?"

He unconsciously regarded Brother Ming's place as their secret base, Xu Ningyi glanced at him.

"also."

Like a person's burden, heavy people breathless children.Xu Ningyi was frightened by He Xuanyu.

On Saturday, all the grades went to Taolin together. They gathered at [-]:[-] in the morning. Xu Ningyi brought three bowls of cold noodles and one bowl of fried dumplings.Zhou Shu and Zhou Siqi asked him to bring the cold noodles from Aunt Wen's shop. They often ate there when they were young, and the taste was very good.However, the two of them didn't go there much after they moved, and finally had a chance to let Xu Ningyi work as a coolie.

Thinking about buying breakfast, Xu Ningyi simply asked Qian Sui again last night, so it became like this.

"I thought there were no cold noodles in this season." Xu Ningyi looked arrogant, and threw a few bags to them in front of the class.

"Oh, thank you, little Ningzi!"

Xu Ningyi snorted coldly, and walked to their class.

He hasn't eaten his own fried dumplings yet!Xu Ningyi stood and poked the fried dumplings with his chopsticks.

Still the taste of childhood.

When Qian Jue came, he saw him standing aside poking dumplings, smiled, and walked to his side.

"Is there mine?"

Xu Ningyi looked up at him, then silently looked at the last fried dumpling in the bowl, and finally handed the bowl to him with a heartbroken face.

"Go! And your cold noodles!"

Qian Jue looked at his chopsticks for a long time, picked them up and threw them into his mouth, smiling very happily.Indirect kissing, right?

At eight o'clock, the sun peeked out from the clouds, and the bus arrived on time, one every shift.So more than 700 high school students boarded the bus with their schoolbags on their backs.

"It always feels like a primary school student's spring outing."

Xu Ningyi said something before getting into the car.

Qian Jue followed him up.

"Don't sit in the queen mother." Qian Jue whispered, and Xu Ningyi remembered that he was the squad leader. He just walked to the third row and turned directly to sit by the window.

"How long will it take to arrive?"

Xu Ningyi asked Qian Jue who was beside him.

"About an hour and a half."

"Then I'll sleep for a while." Xu Ningyi took out his earphones as soon as he heard it, leaned back on his seat and began to doze off.Qian Jue stared at him from the sidelines, this person is also very capricious.

The cultural and entertainment committee member of their class was a very high-spirited girl. At first, she sang and sang, and she sang two songs with a microphone.

Qian Jue glanced at Xu Ningyi reflexively, but he just opened his eyes and looked at him. Xu Ningyi was arrested at the scene, probably a little embarrassed, turned his head away, pretending to look out of the car window.Qian Jue smiled.

"Why do you want me to sing! The Sports Committee sing, hurry up!"

As soon as he said this, the whole class turned their attention to the sports committee.The boy sat at the end, and he was the one who shouted the monitor the most, but now it was his turn.

The main reason is that this guy had an affair with the cultural and entertainment committee members. Students of this age like to be coaxed by these scandals.In addition, the head teacher didn't drive with them, so he didn't have any worries about shouting.

"Go or not!"

The cultural and entertainment committee member blushed at the front, and it was rare for him to be quiet. Qian Jue yelled again, and he stood up and walked forward.

"Isn't it just singing!"

Xu Ningyi looked at the scenery flying by outside the window, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Sly guy.

"What do you think he can sing?"

Qian Jue looked at the corner of his slightly curved mouth, and couldn't help but leaned closer to ask him.

The warm breath made Xu Ningyi involuntarily hide.

"Anyway, it's a love song."

Xu Ningyi finally turned his head around, looked at Qian Sui and said.

"I don't sing well, so I just...sing a random song, she said."

"Wow--"

Very courageous!Xu Ningyi raised his eyebrows.

Taolin is actually a mountain, and there are many peach trees on the mountain, so it is called Taolin.

In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

It's a pity that the peach blossoms here in Taolin have withered long ago.

Mainly for climbing.

After getting off the bus, Sister Zhao's whole class gathered once and said that they must arrive at the entrance of Taolin before [-]:[-] pm, and then they will have a day of free activities.

"Mountain climbing?"

Xu Ningyi asked Qian Sui, he slept in the car for an hour, and now he is very energetic.

"Climb the mountain, but don't take the road."

He stared at the immobile queue on the main road, and blinked slyly.

"I know a small road, but there are too many people on the big road."

Xu Ningyi nodded, expressing that he was happy to follow him.

He said before that he would be with Zhou Shu and the others, but judging by the current situation, he might not be able to find anyone.

Xu Ningyi sent a few messages to Zhou Shu, and followed Qian Jue on the sidewalk.

In fact, there are quite a few people on the path, so they can only walk slowly, but at least they can move.

The two of them also met a geography teacher on the way. He hugged his daughter and walked hard in the crowd.

"The geography teacher is married!"

"Yes, his daughter is three years old."

It doesn't look like they have children, Xu Ningyi sighed in his heart, people should not be judged by appearances!

Although the trees in the peach grove are not tall, they are very dense, layered upon layer, broken by the sun and scattered in the forest.It became very comfortable under the shade of the tree, and the passerby that Qian Jue took gradually became less crowded. After the field of vision became wider, even the air felt much cleaner.

"Do you know the way?" Xu Ningyi still asked.

"I know, I've been here a few times," Qian Jue smiled, "Actually, this road is not a small road, but today people only go that way, so there are fewer talents here."

"Ordinary people don't know the way, so they just go to places with a lot of people, so they feel safer."

Qian Jue nodded, "That's true."

Here is a mixture of peach forests and bamboo forests. When there are few people, the atmosphere is very good, with an aura of ancient literati.

"If there are some who can write poems, maybe they will be able to make poems flourish." Qian Jue said with a smile.

It's a pity that the two present must be academic.

The two walked back and forth in silence for ten minutes in the woods.

"Xu Ningyi,"

Qian Jue suddenly said, "Have you ever been in a relationship in junior high school?"

Brother Ming told him about He Xuanyu before, but he changed the topic at that time, because he wanted Xu Ningyi to tell him that there are some things that cannot be heard from others. What others say will always bring his own. Emotions, he didn't want to do this, he hoped that he could be closer to Xu Ningyi's thoughts, so Xu Ningyi had to tell him the first time.

"Once upon a time, you knew He Xuanyu."

Xu Ningyi did not avoid this topic, Qian Sui's heart fell back into his chest.

"We've only been together...almost half a year," Xu Ningyi's tone was not very heavy, and his expression looked very relaxed, "He left without saying goodbye in the last semester of the third year of junior high school, which was the day of the sports meeting."

Xu Ningyi seemed to be smiling.

"He still hasn't told me to break up with me, he just left forever...a relationship with beginning and end."

But he hasn't let go.

Looking at his profile, Qian Jue felt some pain in his heart, a little suffocation, and a little depression.Obviously knowing that this is normal, such a short period of time cannot heal the wound, but Qian Jue still feels sad.

"I don't know when I can let go completely."

This sentence seemed to be talking to himself, and Qian Jue knew that he was speaking to him.He is warning him.

"That day is not far away."

Xu Ningyi glanced at him and smiled helplessly.

Another stubborn person.

Xu Ningyi raised his phone and pointed at Xu Ningyi.

"Take a picture!"

☆, these and those

On May [-] Labor Day, Xu Ningyi plans to do homework for a day, finish a novel, and go to improvise.

As a result, while reading the novel the next day, I received a text message from Brother Ming.

[Improvise is about to be dismantled! ]

Xu Ningyi shook his hand, the pages of the book rattled, and he closed the novel by himself after reading half of it, but the person at the desk had disappeared.

When I rushed to the door of the bar, I met Qian Sui who was hesitating.He also came because of Brother Ming's text message.

The two looked at each other and said nothing, just pushed open the door of the bar.

"welcome!"

Brother Ming and Blue stood behind the bar, seemingly waiting for them.

"What does it mean that the bar is going to be demolished?"

Xu Ningyi sat at the edge of the bar and went straight to the point.

"It's just... I don't want to open a bar anymore, the bar is too messy, it's gay again, I want to change improvise into a cafe."

Blue sat on the side and nodded, his hair grew longer, fluffy black hair, and turned into a good baby.Xu Ningyi later found out that this guy was a year older than Brother Ming.

Xu Ningyi didn't like coffee, so he frowned.Although this store belongs to Brother Ming...

"coffee shop?"

He was still worried that there would be no guests.

"When will it be changed?" Qian Jue asked.

"the day after tomorrow."

So fast!Xu Ningyi felt a little frustrated for no reason.He is not a person who likes change, and he doesn't like sudden changes. At least now, he feels that changes often mean pain, which are all related to helplessness and necessity.

"We were discussing the name of the cafe, so we called you here by the way." Brother Ming laughed.

"If you change this place into a coffee shop, the previous customers will definitely be shocked." Xu Ningyi tried hard not to be so pessimistic, "I never imagined that this place can be so serious."

"Unprincipled," Blue changed from nodding to shaking his head, "be interesting."

Blue seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "It's interesting to think about how a small cafe stands amidst a steady flow of people, but it didn't close down."

"You can name it an undeserved cafe." Qian Jue joked.

"do not want!"

Several people discussed it all afternoon, but they didn't discuss a name that satisfied everyone.But they also understand that coming here is mainly a notice to let them know that improvise no longer exists, and their secret base will become another safer, more secretive and romantic place.

Xu Ningyi looked at the two people behind the bar. Brother Ming was standing, and Blue was sitting beside him, turning the chair. Whenever the chair was about to turn 180 degrees, Brother Ming would reach out and turn the chair back again.They repeated this action, never tired of it.

Very happy two people.Xu Ningyi felt that the air around them was soft. The two people who had already passed through their youth approached slowly, without excessive passion, without inexplicable impulse, and without fear that stretching out their hands would only catch nothingness, because they both knew that they were what do you want.

Two people, a swivel chair, can be very happy.

Qian Jue probably felt the same way as him.

"There is a place to run in the future."

"Well, if you think about it this way, it would be nice to change it to a cafe."

In the mid-term exam after May [-]st, Xu Ningyi was ranked second in the class. After the results came out, Sister Zhao called him to the office.

"...By the way, what are you going to learn?"

"Li, I study science."

"Well, your grades in science are indeed much better than those in liberal arts." Sister Zhao nodded as she looked at his transcript. "There are two key classes in science. Do you intend to enter?"

"Ah?" Xu Ningyi didn't know about the class assignment, but he still had to ask the person concerned.

"Go back and think about it. Since the key class is called the key class, compared with the ordinary class, the school will naturally invest more." Sister Zhao thought he just didn't understand the difference.

"But... don't they all go to university?"

"Indeed, but the resources of key classes are better, there will be more chances to recommend you and participate in competitions, and the teachers will be better." Seeing his confused face, Sister Zhao sighed, "Go back and think about it first. If you want to enter the key class Ban, tell me before June, because you still have to fill out the form.”

Xu Ningyi nodded to show that he understood.

But he really didn't want to enter the key class. They were one or two high-level classes, and they were strictly controlled. They took electives on Saturdays, and they had weekly exams, and they were forced to stay.

But the average grade is indeed higher than their ordinary class.At least [-]% of the top [-] belong to these two classes.

Xu Ningyi curled his lips, his grades are not bad in the key class, since he can reach the level of the key class in the ordinary class, why should he make it difficult for him and run into the key class?

It only took 5 minutes for Xu Ningyi to make a decision.

At the end of May, Sister Zhao talked to him again, and seeing that he was determined, she did not force him again.

"Are you staying in the regular class?"

In a physical education class after June [-]th, Qian Jue specifically talked about this issue with him.

"Yes, Lupuban, what about you?"

"Heroes see the same thing!"

The two smiled at each other.

"Xu Ningyi!"

The Communist Youth League secretary suddenly ran over and interrupted their conversation.

"Sister Zhao said that there is something very important and she wants you to go to her office."

Xu Ningyi was puzzled for a few seconds, waved to Qian Jue, and ran towards the teaching building.

Sister Zhao was the only one in the office, writing something on the paper.

"Just now your father called and said...your grandpa passed away this morning."

Xu Ningyi froze for a moment, he remembered the withered figure lying on the hospital bed.

"Your father is waiting for you at the school gate now, clear your schoolbag and go with him!"

Xu Ningyi's mind was quite confused. He just knew that his grandfather would not live long, but when he knew that the old man had really passed away, he felt unreal again.The disappearance of a life is so sudden that people have no time to react.

But no matter how much you foresee in advance, you will be caught off guard when that person really leaves.

With her schoolbag on her back, Xu Ningyi saw her father at the school gate who hadn't seen him for more than a year.

Gaunt a lot, unshaven.

Seeing Xu Ningyi, he didn't say much, and let him get into the car.But Xu Ningyi insisted on going home first.

For the death of an unfamiliar person, most people would only sigh, but when Xu Ningyi faced his biological grandfather who was lying in the coffin, he did not feel any emotion that could be called grief.

Not even the sympathy I felt from seeing the old man in the hospital bed last year.

Maybe he is really a very indifferent person.Xu Ningyi thought as he kowtowed.

Qian Jue sent him a message at noon, asking him what happened to the accident.

［My grandpa passed away, I may have to take a few days off work］

Not knowing what Qian Jue on the other side of the screen was thinking, Xu Ningyi was sitting in the mourning hall with an ugly grinning mouth.

[sad]

A normal and businesslike response.

[Pay attention to rest at night]

Xu Ningyi stared at the news for a few seconds, and finally put the phone back in his pocket.

The number of people who came gradually increased, and his father knelt beside the coffin, returning salutes to everyone who came to kowtow.

Xu Ningyi didn't know anyone well, including his father.

He is an unqualified relative. Xu Ningyi looked at other people and felt that he was out of place. He was not sad, so he didn't know how to pass the time, and couldn't keep playing with his mobile phone. In this environment, even being in a daze became a torment.Xu Ningyi has a sense of guilt, so he always feels that others will see his inner indifference.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, his mother called him. She would definitely not come. Xu Ningyi had to stay in the mourning hall for at least the first three nights.

Wake is a very tiring activity. In the quiet mourning hall, there are about ten people guarding a coffin. They are not in the mood to talk at night, so they can only sit on the side and crack sunflower seeds.Maddeningly boring.

Xu Ningyi stayed there until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and went to a hotel next to the mourning hall to sleep for five hours.

The next day I continued to guard.

The ground of the mourning hall has been covered with various nut shells.

Xu Ningyi suddenly thought of the peanut skins left behind by the protagonist and Shu in order to spend the boring summer in Listening to the Wind.

The difference is that they only need to spend one night.

Xu Ningyi's lips were pressed against the disposable plastic cup, he was stunned for a while, and finally drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

On Sunday morning, Qian Jue came to kowtow twice.When he came, Xu Ningyi was lying on the table, staring at the candlestick inside in a daze, his eyes were empty, his white and slender fingers unconsciously danced on the table.

"Xu Ningyi."

Seeing him slowly raise his head, Qian Sui widened his eyes in surprise when he saw himself.

"Why are you here?" He stood up, "Sit down."

"I'm a little worried, just come and have a look."

Qian Jue smiled.

"Zhou Shu and the others should come later."

"Ah..." Xu Ningyi touched his head a little uneasy, "Actually, I'm fine..."

Seemingly seeing his panic, Qian Jue didn't ask him any more questions.

"Have you slept these days?"

"Sure! I'm not a god, so I don't need to sleep."

"There are still four days to watch?"

"En." Xu Ningyi couldn't help but yawned.

Now that blue shadows were born, Qian Jue frowned.

"I can go back after I finish guarding today. After that, I can come during the day, and then come all night on the day of the funeral."

"Okay," Qian Jue smiled, "you hold on."

He saw that Xu Ningyi's affection for his grandfather was weak, but he didn't go into it, which made Xu Ningyi heave a sigh of relief.

He hates explaining things, so he doesn't like those people who want to get to the bottom of everyone, and even make their own comments.Standing on a high place, I always feel that I am the creator.

"Do you want class notes?"

"As long as English and physics are fine, thank you in advance!"

Half an hour later, Zhou Shu and Zhou Siqi also came.It was Qian Sui who made an appointment with them, but he himself came half an hour earlier.

It was at this time that Xu Ningyi suddenly discovered that getting along with Qian Jue is a very comfortable thing, not the comfort of friends like Zhou Shu and the others, but it has not yet reached the comfort that he liked when he was with He Xuanyu before. .

ambiguous!Xu Ningyi thought of this word, Qian Jue was ambiguous with him before, and now he and Qian Jue are also ambiguous

There is only one word difference between ambiguous and love, Xu Ningyi doesn't know how long it will take to fill this gap.

After dinner on the third day, Xu Ningyi went home.His mother was not at home, Xu Ningyi sighed.Maybe the mother should find someone, because she hates being alone in this house.

☆、Youth Cafe

It was midnight when grandpa was cremated, and Xu Ningyi stood aside, watching his relatives whom he didn't know well cry loudly.Perhaps because he didn't sleep all night, he was completely numb. He just watched his grandma, father, aunt, and uncle vent their grief in this crematorium filled with nauseating smell.Xu Ningyi lost something called mood.

The black dust flying during the cremation made Xu Ningyi feel uncomfortable.

The environment of the cemetery is not bad, with green trees and pleasant scenery.If it wasn't for the forest of tombstones one after another, Xu Ningyi followed at the end of the line, thinking it was a mountain park for a moment.

Is the proof of death here?Such a peaceful place, a quiet cemetery, where countless people are buried.What about living proof?Does anyone have it?

The next day, Xu Ningyi went to class and was in a daze all day long.His feelings are difficult to provoke, and even more difficult to express, but once provoked, they are difficult to dissipate.His grandpa's death affected him more than he let on.

"After the final exam this afternoon, do you want to go to Brother Ming's for a while?"

After the physics exam in the morning, Qian Jue asked him.The two of them had similar grades and were assigned to the same examination room.

"Okay." Xu Ningyi nodded, stood up and prepared to go home, "I don't know if he has finished the decoration."

"It's been more than a month. It's just a modification. It should be almost the same."

Qian Jue followed him. I don't know when, the two would go home together in a tacit understanding every day. After all, no matter where Xu Ningyi went back, he and Qian Jue would always go in the same direction.If he goes home, Qian Jue will go with him, and then take the bus by himself when he gets home; when he goes to his grandmother, the two will take the bus together.

Xu Ningyi knew that their relationship had taken a big step forward without knowing it.

Brother Ming's bar has indeed turned into a cafe, and the door has been replaced with a glass door, through which you can see the customers inside. It's not very popular, and even a little deserted. There are some familiar faces in the bar before.

Xu Ningyi wanted to laugh when he thought of Blue's words before, and then he looked up at the same time as Qian Sui to see the name.

Condé.

What's the meaning?The two looked at each other suspiciously, opened the door and walked in.

The decoration is very classic, soft folk songs are playing on the stereo, and the original bar has been replaced with a row of high wooden stools with two coffee machines on it.On the previous stage, there was a piano, but no one was playing it.

Brother Ming still stands behind the original bar, but it has been replaced with a coffee machine.

"Welcome to Youth Café."

When Brother Ming saw them, he greeted them with a smile, and his voice became very soft.

"Where's Blue?"

The cafe still can't talk too loudly.

"He's mixing fruit salad in the kitchen, have you had dinner yet?"

"No."

"That's just right, Xu Ningyi, hurry up and order some pasta for four people."

Xu Ningyi looked at him with an unbelievable expression on his face, "It's fine if you didn't call us for the opening, but the first time I come here, you call me the next one?"

"It's not open yet," Blue came out with a bowl of salad, smiling, "I just opened the door the day before yesterday when I saw that the decoration was about the same. It doesn't matter if it's open or not."

"How did you get the name of your cafe?"

"Well," Blue winked at them, "it means Youth Cafe."

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Blue didn't say any more, just pushed the salad in front of them.

"A novel called Youth Cafe." Brother Ming added an explanation.

"Is that so..." Xu Ningyi forked a piece of cantaloupe that wasn't dipped in salad dressing, it was very sweet.

Xu Ningyi didn't really come here in the end, after all, his mother cooked for him today.But Brother Ming asked him to come often during the holidays, to learn cooking skills with Blue, and to improve the taste of their coffee shop food.

"I didn't expect Blue to like cooking."

Xu Ningyi chatted with Qian Jue on the bus.

"Don't you like it too?"

"Yeah, I really like it." Although He Xuanyu first entered the kitchen, Xu Ningyi really felt at ease when he cooked the food he was satisfied with.

At night, when Xu Ningyi was alone in the room, he thought of the name of the cafe again - Kong Dai.

Youth Cafe?

Youth, Xu Ningyi thought about these two words, the Youth Cafe sounds confused and hasty, in a hurry, unable to grasp anything.This is how youth feels to Xu Ningyi, there are no bright colors, like a broken palette, the chaos makes people irritated.

But everyone thinks that youth is very good, but this kind of youth has been affirmed by everyone. Does it also mean that other stages of life will only be more painful?

Xu Ningyi didn't know, he was still in his youth, maybe ten years later, he would have his own answer.

During the summer vacation, Xu Ningyi started to live alone again. His mother came back about once a week to check on his living conditions, and then left again.

So his time would be slowly wasted in Kong Dai Cafe, Blue lent "Youth Cafe" to Xu Ningyi, so he finally learned about Kong Dai's origin.

On July [-]th, on Xu Ningyi's birthday, he just finished reading that not-so-pleasant story.

He likes the stories in it.

"Just the two of you," Xu Ningyi pointed at Brother Ming and Blue, "You two are already over age, okay?"

"You haven't reached the age yet!" The two people were said to be "overage" and disagreed very much, "You little friend, get out!"

"What's underage?"

Qian Jue has also become a frequent visitor here now, and with the cloak of a cafe, no one will be afraid of being discovered or hurt by others.

"Kong Dai's age is above, this guy just turned seventeen today!" Brother Ming glanced at him, "Are you younger?"

"Today is your birthday?" Qian Jue was very good at focusing, but he still answered the last question, "I only turned sixteen this year."

"Well, I'm a year older than you."

"Today is July 17th, you are [-] years old," Qian Jue read with his head tilted, and then said with a smile, "Happy birthday."

"Yeah." Xu Ningyi also smiled, saying happy birthday is also very good, "Thank you."

"I hope you will be with me on your birthday next year."

Xu Ningyi glanced at him, but did not respond to this sentence, "When is your birthday?"

"Fifteenth of May."

"The date structure of my birthday is very similar." Xu Ningyi smiled.

"Why just the two of you?" Lin Jiexi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly appeared here again today, interrupting their conversation, "Where's Brother Ming? And his boyfriend?"

Xu Ningyi and Qian Jue looked at each other and shook their heads.

Those two people had slipped into the small kitchen long ago, giving Qian Jue enough time to be alone, at least in Brother Ming's view, it was only a matter of time before these two people got together.

"I didn't expect this place to become a coffee shop." Lin Jiexi threw the big bag on the table and took off his peaked cap. He has been studying in other provinces and got quite tanned. "It's better than a bar. At least I don't have to be sneaky anymore."

Here are three people who aren't ready to come out and think so.In fact, it’s not just them. A large part of the customers in this cafe are gay. At first, they were regular customers of the bar. Later, it gradually spread in the circle. Men and women who like tranquility and don’t want to be discovered, gradually turn to this "" Condé approached.

Condé is like a giant magnet, attracting a group of young people aged 25 to [-].

Xu Ningyi suddenly laughed, wondering if they named this place "Kong Dai" at first, did they ever think that it would become like this?

"There used to be three pubs on this street, now it's two pubs and a cafe."

Lin Jiexi seemed to be feeling emotional.

"Lin Lin! You're finally here!" Brother Ming came out and made an exaggerated expression when he saw Lin Jiexi, "I thought you would never come back again."

"Come, come, I'll give you a hug first!" Lin Jiexi immediately stood up and opened his arms.

"No, no, no," Brother Ming hugged his chest tightly like a woman from a good family being molested, "I'm a family man now!"

Blue stepped out at this moment and kicked him.

"The convulsions!"

"Hmph, new love, old love." Lin Jiexi shook his head, and opened the big bag, "I still miss you, and I brought so many special products!"

The attention of several people was quickly attracted by the big bag.

"First of all, Xu Ningyi's." He pulled out a big box from his bag, "I'm 17 today, happy birthday!"

Xu Ningyi took it over, and his heart was full of emotion. He only mentioned it to this person once, but he didn't expect to be taken to heart.

"Thank you."

"Then there is Qian Sui..."

Lin Jiexi emptied the bags one by one, exactly into four parts.Lin Lin is indeed a very careful person.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jiexi said goodbye to them. He had only come back not long ago, and he still had a lot of things to do.

During dinner, two faces who had never seen before were ushered in the cafe.

Zhou Shu and Zhou Siqi.

The two of them said they were going to celebrate his birthday, Xu Ningyi called them over after obtaining Brother Ming's consent.

"We didn't get together last year and the year before, so there's no reason not to have a birthday together this year, right?"

Seeing that Qian Jue was there, Zhou Siqi's eyes widened.

"Aren't we even better than Qian Jue?"

She cried and mourned, looking like she was abandoned, Xu Ningyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, from this point of view, Zhou Siqi should really have given up on Qian Jue.

"I met you in a coffee shop, I didn't invite you specially."

Xu Ningyi didn't have any special attachment to celebrating birthday together, or he didn't have any idea about celebrating birthday.It doesn't matter if you don't have a birthday, anyway, there will be a number increase anyway.

Zhou Shu knew Xu Ningyi's sexuality, seeing these two people sitting so close, he couldn't help but start to think wildly, Xu Ningyi and Qian Jue...what's the situation?

"Sit down first and see if there is anything you want to drink. The coffee here is pretty good." Xu Ningyi smiled at them. Although he didn't know much about coffee, he...helped Brother Ming advertise.

It turned out that one of them ordered cheesecake and the other ordered pasta.

"So I'm the only one who actually comes to the cafe for coffee?"

Qian Jue stirred the liquid in the cup with a spoon.

"It's also very good, no one will rob you."

Xu Ningyi laughed and teased.

The time in the youth cafe is flowing slowly, Ming Ge and Blue did not appear, only these four young people who are still in the long river of youth are left, they laugh and talk, say some irrelevant words, and do some unrealistic things imagination.

Xu Ningyi suddenly understood that youth is happy and enjoyable in this short period of time. Although there are only occasional good things, they can't be repeated, so people will miss them forever.

☆、Do you like me

Xu Ningyi's summer vacation passed slowly and peacefully, without too many accidents, it was very orderly.

Xu Ningyi already fell in love with an orderly life, getting up, cooking, homework, dazed, coffee shop, running the washing machine once every three days, and novels, movies and music, these three things that sound very "literary", intimate contact, this Everything brings him a lot of security.Occasionally dating friends, even his mother has to admit that her son arranges his life more orderly than her.

"You! Go out and play more!"
