Atypical Cafe Love

They sat on the embankment until very late.Zhao Su only drank two sips of beer, which had almost no effect, but after all, he was still worried about whether drunk driving could be detected, so he was only sent to the subway station in the outer suburbs, and the car was stored in the nearby parking lot.When bidding farewell, even Zhao Su, who was so talkative, didn't know what else to say, so he just patted Chen Songmao on the shoulder: "Be careful on the road."

Chen Songmao nodded.He took the subway and walked back slowly after getting out of the station.There is a street light line that is a little bad, and the light is flickering.Chen Songmao was dizzy from the flash, lowered his head to walk, and was suddenly taken aback: Maybe the sprinkler just passed by, and there was some water on the road, and the street lights reflected on the road, full of fuzzy orange halos flickering and shimmering flickering.He remembered the last time he walked this way when it was raining. He came back from watching the Les Miserables musical with Ning Siqin.He recalled it, hummed it again, and missed a few lines in the middle, but the tune was roughly complete:

"I love him, but when the night is over, he is gone, ther's just ariver."

Looking back, he felt that the love with Ning Siqin was like a plot in a love novel—although it might not be the most typical love story that would happen in a cafe, but since falling in love, he really felt like Met a fabled soul mate.If this love is indeed too good to be true—or maybe it’s too good to be true—then it’s time to “the night is over” and Ning Siqin reveals her true colors, yet another scum that happens in everyday life Men lie about feelings/events.

In terms of probability, this possibility is the greatest.

But Chen Songmao is unwilling to admit it like this.

Could Ning Siqin be a liar?As the rumors say, is he a scumbag who is playful, promiscuous, and cheats his feelings everywhere?Angry at having done something wrong, as he himself showed on the surface?He asked himself this way, and felt that he could not get an affirmative answer.He has known Ning Siqin for a long time, getting along day and night, the Ning Siqin he knows is not such a person, he also thinks that he does not have such a rich capital, it is worth a person to pretend so painstakingly to achieve a tacit understanding with him seam.

Whether he was blinded by emotion or blinded by the authorities, Chen Songmao chose to believe him.

But this cannot explain why Ning Siqin acted so abnormally—Chen Songmao has thought over and over again about his conversation and reaction at that time, and is convinced that although his reaction cannot be said to be normal and peaceful, at least at the beginning he He didn't show any tendency to doubt and question. If it was another ordinary friend, there would never be a big misunderstanding, let alone become angry like Ning Siqin.

Even if Assistant Zhuo told him the truth, Ning Siqin must have something else to hide from him, otherwise there is no way to explain it all.The question now is, what is he hiding?

--No!The question now is, should Chen Songmao trust him until he waits for him to tell him everything, or should he find out what he is hiding?

He got home cranky all the way, only to find that his phone was out of battery.Chen Songmao took it out to charge and turned it on. Seeing that there were six or seven missed calls, he quickly called back and apologized repeatedly.The other party was his neighbor and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think? What if you don't want the house?"

Chen Songmao had long forgotten about this matter, and at this moment, a scabbed wound that seemed to have been forgotten was suddenly torn open again, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reply - he planned to buy a house because he wanted to really move with Ning Siqin to live together.But now, is there such a need?

The other party said "Hello" several times before Chen Songmao came back to his senses: "Sorry, the signal was not good earlier....Let's do this."

He hesitated, "If there is anyone else who is willing to pay the full price at this price, just let me know and sell it to him directly. If there is no other buyer who is more suitable for you, just leave it to me. You can see it?"

On Wednesday morning, Chen Songmao was supposed to be on duty at the piano store. He excused himself from being unwell and asked for leave, and canceled the appointment in the afternoon: in his current state, he really couldn’t tune the piano seriously, and it would be irresponsible for him to go to work again. .He tried to call Ning Siqin, but the other party didn't answer; he texted and left messages on WeChat, but Ning Siqin refused to reply.For a while, Chen Songmao thought about going to Ning Siqin's house to pack his things, but that was just a moment of pique.

On Thursday and Friday, except for the necessary grocery shopping, he waited at home all the time, and the complicated and fluctuating emotions in his heart gradually settled down, but Ning Siqin never heard from him, nor did he reply to messages.Chen Songmao's message to him is: [When will you calm down, can we talk?I am waiting for your explanation. 】

From this point of view, Ning Siqin is still not calm.

On Friday night, he unexpectedly received a call from Rong Shan - it was Senior Sister Rong who introduced him to Zheng Zijun.Rong Shan exchanged pleasantries with him, saying that she was listening to a performance in the background of the Xinghai Concert Hall of the Conservatory of Music of A Normal University.Through the noisy voices and music in the background, Chen Songmao could still hear the hesitation in her tone, so he simply asked: "Senior Sister, what's the matter?"

"Today is the performance of the Galaxy Chamber Orchestra," Rong Shan said hesitantly, and Chen Songmao guessed the second half of her sentence, "Did you quarrel with Ning Siqin?"

Chen Songmao shook his head, he couldn't tell if he was a little disappointed in his heart, he thought that Ning Siqin would not be the one who complained everywhere after the quarrel - he himself was a gentleman who would never speak ill. "Senior sister also knows?"

"I know, logically speaking, I should be towards you..." Rong Shan said hesitantly on the phone, "but what's the matter with you two? Make up soon, both sides have tortured themselves so badly. I heard Zhao Su said you asked for leave and didn't go to work?"

"What happened to Ning Siqin?" Chen Songmao asked.

"Yinhe has a concert today, and the songs are very cheerful, such as "Dragonfly", "Anna Polka" and so on." Rong Shan said, "Ning Siqin played happily on stage, but I was in the background, Seeing him get off the stage, he shed tears before finishing the steps."

"Ah." Chen Songmao said softly, unable to think of what to answer her.Up to now, he was not without anger, but when he heard Ning Siqin cry, he still raised it in his heart.

"Really, he cried without even putting down the violin. The tears fell on the violin in whole drops, and he hurriedly wiped it. It was a disaster. His teammates were frightened. I hurriedly pulled Zheng Zijun to ask why That's when I asked." Rong Shan said, "I didn't cry out, but I couldn't hold back my tears. I sneaked out and called you. I guess he hasn't finished crying yet. Really, I I don't know what happened to you, but I don't know yet. You are very soft-hearted. If he cries in front of you, will the two of you make a fuss? If there is any misunderstanding between you, don't hold back your mouth and say it earlier. It's driving well."

"This matter... is more complicated." Chen Songmao smiled wryly, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I originally planned to find a chance to talk to him."

"Originally? Now?"

"Now I want to advance the date a little bit, but I'm afraid that neither of us will be calm and we won't be able to talk about anything." Chen Songmao sighed, "I'm not trying to excuse myself, senior sister, he won't talk to me properly, and he won't talk to me. I would like to listen to other people's news. I don't know what to do."

"Okay, you take care of it yourself, I'm an outsider after all, but let me tell you." Rong Shan also sighed, "Then I'll hang up first."

"Okay, anyway, thank you, Senior Sister."

Rong Shan hung up the phone.Chen Songmao put down his phone, feeling very complicated.He couldn't help but sent another message to Ning Siqin, or text Q/Q WeChat three times in a row: [Are you still angry?I really want to talk to you. 】

He actually didn't expect Ning Siqin to reply.But soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and Chen Songmao picked up the phone almost in the mood of bumping into an unexpected surprise.

[See Yayun. ] Ning Siqin replied.

Chen Songmao drove to Yayun almost at the speed limit of the road section.There were quite a few people in the cafe, but he saw Ning Siqin at a glance: long hair, shawl, sunglasses, and black suit from the show, almost exactly the same as when he first met.Chen Songmao strode into the compartment and closed the frosted glass door.

In fact, most of Yayun’s cubicles are prepared for couples. The interior is very warm and atmospheric, but the weird atmosphere between the two of them dilutes the romance to nothing.Chen Songmao sat down opposite him: "Siqin."

"Ziyun." Ning Siqin called him in a low voice. Chen Songmao had never heard his name pronounced in such a complicated tone, and never knew that these two words could be pronounced so many times.He stabilized, and then said softly: "Thank you for agreeing to meet me. I don't want to quarrel with you this time. Let's have a good talk?"

"I also... didn't want to quarrel with you." Ning Siqin said, his voice trembling slightly, people who are not familiar with him might not even be able to hear it.But Chen Songmao could hear that he was obviously trying to suppress something. "I'll explain it to you. I can explain any of your problems. Believe it or not, it's your choice. But it's better for you to start first. What do you want to talk about?"

"I do have something to say to you." Chen Songmao said, "But there are still some things I didn't understand in what you said last time. You said that I met your college classmate, and you were talking about Assistant Zhuo?"

Ning Siqin nodded silently, and Chen Songmao asked, "Did you foresee what he would say about you in advance? Do you think I will believe him?"

Ning Siqin still only nodded.Chen Songmao asked again: "There is one more thing I don't understand - you said I saw your ex-boyfriend. Who is that? Is it also one of my clients?"

"You really don't know?" Ning Siqin smiled wryly, "Or have you been pretending to be stupid until now? His name is Jack."

Chen Songmao suddenly realized, and felt a little absurd in his heart: his ex-boyfriend is now with Ning Siqin's ex-boyfriend.This really echoed what Ning Siqin said that day, and it became a big four-cornered Shura field.Looking back at this moment, he realized how coincidental this incident was - he was worried that Jack would have a grudge against the relationship between him and Su Lanya, so he tried his best to avoid personal emotional topics throughout the whole process, and just chatted like ordinary friends Topics, care about the lives of the two in the UK and so on.Su Lanya probably had the same concerns, so they never talked about Ning Siqin once, let alone mentioned his name.

However, this finally makes sense.He nodded: "I see. Do you have anything to ask me?"
