Atypical Cafe Love

"Yes." Chen Songmao said, "but I don't want to mix human relationship into it."

"Is there a big difference?" Ning Siqin smiled slightly.

"I hope your response is purely because you like me too, not because you feel that you owe me favors." Chen Songmao said, although he has been trying to pursue Ning Siqin, but they have rarely made it so clear before Most of the time, he just got along like a friend, and he felt a little hot on his face, "I really want to pursue you."

"Why?" Ning Siqin asked, with a smile hidden in his eyes, "I'm really curious, which aspect of me did you take a fancy to in the first place?"

"It's...it's hard to say." Chen Songmao thought for a while, and could only shake his head, "If I say, I never believed in love at first sight until I met you, wouldn't it seem too routine and not the truth? ?”

"Isn't it?" Ning Siqin said.

"Then I have nothing to say." Chen Songmao said, "I can only say that I really like you."

Ning Siqin hummed, "I like you quite a bit too."

Chen Songmao walked two steps forward before realizing what he said just now, and stopped abruptly: "What?"

"I said, I also like you very much." Ning Siqin turned around, and Chen Songmao found that he was already smiling, "It's been since the time I played in the cafe. That's why I misunderstood you at the beginning So mad at you for being so disappointed."

Chen Songmao took a step forward and opened his mouth, but his brain was like a stuck piano hammer, nothing could come out.Ning Siqin tilted her head, looking at his bewildered look with great interest.Chen Songmao was stuck for a long time, and popped out: "Can you be my boyfriend?"

Ning Siqin laughed loudly, Chen Songmao felt his face was burning all the way to the ears, but when he looked carefully, he found that Ning Siqin was smiling with a touch of blood on one side of his face, "It's really your style .Okay, sure."

Chen Songmao also laughed, and only then did he feel his stuck brain start to spin again, "What is my style?" As he asked, he reached out and grabbed Ning Siqin's hand, slowly inserting his fingers between them.Ning Siqin intersected his fingers very cooperatively: "It's very incomprehensible, but the hit rate is unexpectedly high."

He said this with a smile, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes rolled, his broken hair cast a shadow on the side of his face, and he looked more attractive than ever.Relying on a momentary impulse, Chen Songmao raised the hands they met, bowed his head and kissed the back of his hand gently.

For the rest of the journey, Chen Songmao didn't remember how to walk at all: he almost floated all the way, as if he drifted to his car unconsciously.He took out the key, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat, but he didn't start the car for a long time.Ning Siqin got into the passenger seat, closed the door, and turned to look at him: "Why don't you drive?"

"...I feel that my current state is not suitable for driving immediately, and I need to calm down." Chen Songmao said, Ning Siqin laughed: "Are you so surprised? I am not very cold to you."

"I'm not very surprised, but... I'm very happy." Chen Songmao said, turning to look at him with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Very happy."

"If I knew this made you so happy," Ning Siqin said with a smile, "I would have told you earlier."

Chen Songmao looked at him in surprise.Ning Siqin continued to laugh: "I didn't intend to make it so clear, until I finally realized that if I didn't tell you clearly, just relying on hints, you would never really be enlightened, right?"

"Probably." Chen Songmao's face became slightly hot, "Thank you for not disliking me for being so ignorant."

"Who says I don't dislike it? I quite dislike it." Ning Siqin said.

The two looked at each other through the dim street lights outside the car, and their smiles overflowed.This scene is a bit silly, but both of them are extremely happy in their hearts.For a moment, no one spoke, just sat quietly watching each other laugh, Chen Songmao felt that there was no need to say or do anything, it was already a very happy moment.But in the end Ning Siqin still spoke: "If you don't drive anymore, just let me do it."

"Let me do it." Chen Songmao said, and turned the key to start the engine, "It feels like you are driving now, which is not very reassuring."

Ning Siqin did not refute.Chen Songmao felt that he was half-floating all the way, but fortunately, he was always quite rational and self-controlled, and he successfully arrived at the door of his house safely by obeying the traffic rules.Whether the two waited for the elevator together, or stopped on the eighth floor first, Ning Siqin looked at Chen Songmao: "Then I'll go back first?"

"Good night." Chen Songmao said, Ning Siqin stepped out of the elevator door and put the piano box down against the wall, but instead of reaching for the keys, she turned to look at Chen Songmao.Chen Songmao just pressed the door open button of the elevator and looked at him inexplicably.The two looked at each other for two or three seconds, Ning Siqin suddenly laughed and shook his head: "I knew it, you are such a confused person."

As he said, he stepped into the elevator door one step at a time, stretched out his hand to wrap around Chen Songmao's neck, pressed the back of his head to make him lower his head, and actively pressed his lips on it.Chen Songmao's hand trembled, and he let go of the hand that was pressing the door open button.

He has tried falling in love and kissing, but he has never felt like this.The sound of the twelve well-tempered notes flowing one after another with the most perfect pitch has never made his spine tingle like this, and his whole body stretches out as if being blown by a spring breeze.Ning Siqin's lips were soft, and his tongue deftly opened his jaws and stuck in. Before that, Chen Songmao had never realized that there were such a huge number of nerve endings in the human mouth.He subconsciously put his hands around Ning Siqin's body, his fingers touched his soft and hanging long hair behind his back, but he didn't dare to use force because he was afraid of pulling his hair, so he carefully pressed his palms against his back and the ends of his hair.

It seemed that only a microsecond had passed, and it seemed that the entire process of the Big Bang had gone through. Ning Siqin let go of him.The elevator stopped at some point and the door was closed.Ning Siqin looked at him with a smile, then looked up at the electronic screen at the elevator entrance.Chen Songmao also looked up, and they both laughed at the same time: the elevator has stopped at the 11th floor.When the elevator came up, when it dinged, opened the door, and closed it again, they were completely unaware.

"Okay, good night." Ning Siqin smiled and licked his lips, Chen Songmao almost looked hard on it.Ning Siqin reached out and pressed the door open button, waiting for Chen Songmao to step out of the elevator, and suddenly asked: "Do you mind?"

"What do you mind?" Chen Songmao looked at him in confusion.Ning Siqin raised his head to signal: "The elevator is monitored."

"I know." Chen Songmao said, "Why would I mind...?"

"It's nothing, that's fine." Ning Siqin said with a smile, "Good night."

The elevator doors closed.Chen Songmao opened the door in a trance, almost forgot to put on his slippers.He has always been a steady person, and at this moment he also feels that he is so full of joy that he must find someone to share it with.He nestled on the sofa, flipped through the phone's address book, and dialed a number.

The phone was picked up quickly.A gentle male voice over there asked: "It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

Chen Songmao didn't realize what time it was at all: "No, do you have time now?"

"Yes, at home, what's the matter?"

"I fell in love with someone." Chen Songmao said, and couldn't help smiling, "He agreed to date me."

He talked for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone. When he hung up, his mouth was a little dry. He pursed his lips and felt the taste of mints in his mouth.Then he suddenly remembered that on the way back, Ning Siqin dug out a small box of mints he had placed next to the driver's seat, took one for himself, and stuffed another for him—Chen Songmao didn't know anything at the time. I feel, looking back now, the other party clearly planned it long ago.

However, this kind of premeditation is simply sweeter than mints.

The next morning he was on duty at the piano store. After helping a parent choose a piano, another shopping guide girl who was also on duty in the store asked, "Anything happy?"

The girl's name is Fang Ziwei, she is only two years older than Chen Songmao, but she has been doing sales here for many years.Chen Songmao smiled: "Obviously?"

"It's not obvious. Since you came here this morning, there hasn't been a second without a smile on your face." Fang Ziwei said, "I'll just say, how beautiful you smile! Those female students came in just now The eyes are all around you, Qin didn't even look at it, didn't you notice?"

"I didn't notice." Chen Songmao said, still smiling.Fang Ziwei was curious: "What's wrong? You won the lottery? You fell in love? The boss suddenly decided to give you a raise? If it's the last one, forget it. You really said it's my turn to be unhappy."

"No salary increase." Chen Songmao said, "It's just a personal matter, it's really nothing, Sister Wei."

While talking, another guest came in through the door.Fang Ziwei rushed to receive the guests and let him go temporarily.Chen Songmao himself is not in sales, he usually tunes various instruments in the store - the structure of other instruments is much simpler than the piano, as long as he can hear the pitch, he can more or less get started.After a while, Fang Ziwei called him from the other side of the store: "Xiao Chen, come here!"

Chen Songmao went over, and Fang Ziwei handed him a pipa: "I don't think the tuning is accurate."

Chen Songmao took over and asked the mother with the little girl: "Are you learning it as a hobby?"

"It's my daughter who is interested, so I want to find a teacher for training." The mother replied.Fang Ziwei pointed to the two hanging in the corner: "I recommend those two, the price is more reasonable, and the body of the pipa is also small, just right for a little girl to hug."

"Ah, the timbres of those two are very good, and the pitch is also very accurate." Chen Songmao replied with a smile, "I personally recommend the one with engraved flowers and birds. The timbre will be softer. It is very suitable for indoor performance, and the pegs are also very tight. , you don’t have to tune it yourself all the time. If the pegs are too loose, like the one I have, it’s easy to get slightly out of tune.”

He and Fang Ziwei took turns to give advice, and finally the mother really chose the little pipa with engraved flowers and birds.After paying and leaving, Fang Ziwei leaned on the counter again: "Look, I'll tell you that it's especially useful to attract customers when you smile."

"Really? I didn't think it was because of Sister Wei's eloquence just now." Chen Songmao plucked the four pipa strings and listened carefully as he spoke.Fang Ziwei is not a gossip person, seeing that he has not let go, she shrugged and left.Chen Songmao was turning the peg, and the mobile phone beside him vibrated. It was Ning Siqin's WeChat: [What are you doing? 】

Chen Songmao turned on the voice, tried the sound a few times, and sent it.Ning Siqin was greatly surprised: [You can also tune the pipa?How many instruments do you know? 】

[Guitar, guqin, pipa, these common instruments that are not too difficult can learn a little while working. 】Chen Songmao put the pipa back to its original position before replying to him, 【Actually, I can also play the violin. 】

【You never said that! 】

[I feel that the instruments I am familiar with are the most comfortable to tune by myself. 】

【Although I know you didn't do it on purpose, I still think you did it on purpose】

【really not.Do you want me to tune the piano for you when you go back tonight? 】

【Are you coming to my house? 】

【OK. 】

Not long after he returned, the phone rang suddenly, it was Ning Siqin calling.Chen Songmao picked it up and heard scattered musical instruments in the background.Ning Siqin's voice was filled with a smile: "Just now they asked me who I was chatting with, and I suddenly remembered, since the relationship has been established, should I change my name to you? How can I call you Songmao in the future?"

"Ziyun." Chen Songmao said, "Wen Tingyun's Yun, my character."

"You still have words?" Ning Siqin asked in surprise.Chen Songmao nodded, forgetting that Ning Siqin couldn't see: "I lived in my grandpa's and grandma's house for a long time when I was a child. My grandpa was a scholar in the old days. He took out the characters for me in advance, but only family members would call me that."

"Ziyun." Ning Siqin read these two words slowly, with a soft voice, as if putting each stroke on the tip of his tongue and circling it, "It's a pity that I don't have words, you told me to think Qin is fine."

There were booing voices from other troupe members in the background, but Ning Siqin didn't seem to care at all, and didn't even say a word to them.Chen Songmao read "Siqin" lightly, and felt that these two words had removed the surname, and seemed to have a different kind of intimacy, "...see you that night."

"See you tonight."
