Three rooms and two halls

Seeing Jian Ran's proficient cat strokes, Chen Yi asked him if he wanted to have a cat too.

"Not anymore. I'm afraid I don't have time to take good care of them." Jian Ran touched the orange cat's chin and said with some reluctance.

The cats in this cat cafe are indeed not afraid of people at all. Even though Chen Yi's face was dark and ugly, the two cats still squatted on his lap unshakably, whipping him with their tails from time to time.Angrily, Chen Yi scratched their necks and said harsh words, sooner or later they will be made into scarves.

The boss was bringing coffee and desserts to deliver the meal, and after a few whistles, the kittens walked away slowly, leaving only cat fur on them.

"People who want to make them into scarves and floor mats have already lined up from the street to the subway station. These guys eat a lot and shed a lot of hair. It's really worrying."

Before eating, the two of them went to the bathroom to wash their hands, and Jian Ran picked up the roller next to her to stick Chen Yi's hair.Chen Yi stretched his hands like a child and obediently turned his body to cooperate with Jian Ran.

The two of them who had finally cleaned it up went back and just picked up their forks to eat, when those "uncles" swaggered over again, but were stopped by the owner: "You can't serve the table when the guests are eating."

Those cats seemed to understand, and they nestled under the feet of the two of them and slept lazily.

The owner also prepared a muffin and mille-feuille for himself, and sat at their table, drinking coffee and reading.

Seeing him so leisurely, Jian Ran couldn't help asking: "Don't you need to watch downstairs?"

"It's okay, there is a capable child watching for me." The shopkeeper took a bite of the muffin, praised his craftsmanship unceremoniously, and asked them to taste it while it was still hot.

Surrounding the honey-drenched muffins were candied strawberries. Jian Ran forked a small piece and put it in her mouth. It was delicious, fluffy and dense.Candied strawberries are also very refreshing, sour and sweet, reminiscent of the taste of summer.

Chen Yi saw that he liked it very much, and said that if he had time in the future, he could bring him a few more times.This is a cat cafe he came across by accident while reading other people's travel diaries online.The decoration here is very warm, and there are many books. Although there are not many cats, they like to interact with customers, and they are very humane.The boss is also the same as described in the travel notes, he is a "handsome guy with squinting eyes who has a good temper but is not good at doing business".

Jian Ran felt that rather than being deserted, it was better to say that it didn't look like a business place at all.The two sat here for more than an hour, but no new customers came.The shopkeeper went down with the plate after finishing his meal. He didn't intend to talk to them during the whole process, but he was not alienated. It was like visiting a friend's house that he had known for a long time. Everyone was very relaxed and did their own thing. thing.

Such an atmosphere relieved Jian Ran's nervousness for the past few days.The cats soon realized that Jian Ran was talkative, so they all jumped on him and rubbed their little heads against him.Chen Yi looked jealous and wished he could turn into a cat and squat on his lap.Seeing that Jian Ran was having fun, Chen Yi was not willing to tell him to go, so he randomly picked a book from the bookshelf and began to read and wait.

When Jian Ran had scratched the three little chubby cats comfortably, she was about to raise her head to ask Chen Yi that it was time to leave, but found that he was concentrating on reading.

Jian Ran suddenly realized that she had never observed him so carefully before.

Chen Yi's facial features were already deep, but now they looked more three-dimensional under the warm yellow ceiling light.He has dark eyebrows, thick eyelashes, and a neatly trimmed beard. He didn't comb his hair with hairspray today, so he looks younger. Especially today, he is wearing a dark green round-neck sweater, which makes him look more lively. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the same age.

Jian Ran subconsciously took a look at her cuffs, it was light gray-green, and found that the colors of the sweaters of the two of them matched inexplicably today. He subconsciously felt that maybe Chen Yi chose this dress to match him on purpose. After all, he usually wears more turtleneck sweaters and shirts.

As if aware of Jian Ran's cautious and earnest gaze, Chen Yi raised his eyes to look at him, evoking a sly smile: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the handsome guy. Big handsome guy." Jian Ran replied honestly.

Chen Yi was in a good mood, and closed the collection of essays in his hand, which was as wet as the air in the rainy season and smelled like moss, and planned to take Jian Ran's hand to walk around the nearby Antique Street.This is a small tourist block, and there are many online celebrity shops, and there are many interesting places in it.

But when the two of them settled the bill at the front desk, the shopkeeper smiled and said that because their spending amount was enough, they could do a Tarot divination, and asked them if they would like to try it.

Chen Yi just wanted to say that this was something to deceive children, but Jian Ran looked at him with big blinking eyes, as if looking forward to it.Anyway, the two of them were not too busy, so they found a secluded corner to sit down.

This time they found a little black cat with a red ribbon around its neck coming out of a corner and squatting in front of the glass door, as if watching the shop.

It turns out that this is what the shop owner called "a capable child."

The proprietor's divination ceremony was as casual as he himself was. He took a postbox red tinplate box from the bookshelf, took out a tarot card wrapped in black flannel from it, and started divination.

"What is the specific problem, you two can discuss it, find someone to draw cards, or you can draw cards together, as you like." The shopkeeper said while rubbing the black agate inlaid with a silver ring holder.

Jian Ran thought for a while, and asked Chen Yi close to his ear if he wanted to see their fate?

Chen Yi actually doesn't really want to see it - if the result is good, it's okay, if it's bad, he's afraid that Jian Ran will feel burdened in the future in the process of getting along, because in the recent relationship, he is very clear She realized that Jane is a person who is easily influenced by those around her.

"Why don't you look at your career." Chen Yi suggested, "Why don't you look at your performance this time?"

Jian Ran didn't think it was anything to look at. The fact that he was framed by Jiang Li was a certainty. Even if the company understood him, it had already caused a bad influence. Unless time went back and he could predict this result in advance and take precautions, otherwise I can only do my best to make up for it in the future.

On the contrary, he was very concerned about how far into the future he could go with Chen Yi this time.If separation is the inevitable outcome, then he will try to rely less on him from now on and try to rely on him less in the future.

The shopkeeper looked at them and touched the ring with a smile: "If you haven't made up your mind, you don't have to do the divination now. I just think you are very interesting, so I just want to read your stories. If possible, give It’s okay if I look at the palmistry.”

Jian Ran didn't expect him to be able to read palms, so she cautiously stretched out her left hand, and asked Chen Yi to extend his hand, asking him to see if the two of them are compatible.

"It must be a good match." Chen Yi looked at the shopkeeper's serious eyes and said suggestively.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then he returned to his usual smiling expression: "Well, we get along very well. You will be very happy in the future."

Seeing that Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Yi also relaxed a lot.They thanked the owner and left, who brought them a hand-painted brown paper business card and welcomed them to come back for coffee anytime.

After they left, the little black cat with a red ribbon jumped happily onto the owner's lap.

The shopkeeper stroked its head and murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's just that the more beautiful the rainbow, the more it needs to be tempered by violent wind and rain."

Although Jian Ran also knew that this kind of fortune-teller would definitely pick the right ones to tell them, but even if it was a simple blessing, encouraged by such affirmative tone and such gentle eyes, Jian Ran was in an unprecedentedly good mood.Although he was still a little shy, he did not shy away from holding Chen Yi's hand.

It was the first time that Chen Yi felt that Jian Ran was so easy to fool. If he had known about it, he would have given that magic stick more money and asked him to say something that the two of them should kiss and hug more to promote better communication.But this is not bad now, the two of them bought takoyaki at the roadside stall on the corner of the street and listened to sweet saliva songs about love while eating. This was a way of falling in love that he had never thought of before.

In the past, when Chen Yi was interested in someone, he would directly go up and express his heart, and as long as the other party showed a little hesitation, he would stop bothering.Before, his friends said that he was free and easy, but now he knew that none of those things were really moving his heart. Only Jian Ran made him truly appreciate the beauty of loving and being loved.

Jian Ran is like a cat, her mouth is small and she is afraid of being hot, the round balls need to be poked open with a bamboo stick to cool before they are put into her mouth, one ball can fill his little face completely.

Although Chen Yi looked at it anxiously, he didn't feel any impatience. Instead, he felt a wonderful sense of pride that "such a cute person can only be pampered by himself". To his hand, then took his, ate one while it was hot, but did not expect it to be so hot inside, covered his mouth and yelled for a long time before swallowing it.

"Eat slowly and don't burn it." Jian Ran smiled and handed him a tissue to wipe the teriyaki sauce on the corner of her mouth.

As night fell gradually, the street lights, large and small, lit up one after another.

They held hands and walked aimlessly through the gravel road and wooden plank road in the park.They walked very slowly, and each other hoped that such a leisurely time could continue.But they also know that this is impossible.

Jian Ran will go to work in the store tomorrow, and Chen Yi has also finished work, and will return to City B in the next few days.

"Old Chen, what's the number of your ticket?" Jian Ran asked pretending to be relaxed, holding up the dead leaves left by sanitation on the ground.

"The morning after tomorrow." Chen Yi hugged him from behind, "If possible, I actually don't want to leave at all."

"Adults have adult troubles." Jian Ran remembered the "first meeting" between the two on a wrong phone call. At that time, it was Chen Yi who persuaded him to cheer up, but now he is the one who persuades Chen Yi not to be passive and sabotage , "Work hard, I'll fly to see you if I'm free."

"Okay." Chen Yi reluctantly put his face next to his cheek, "Then you have to kiss me, it's a signature. If you don't come, I'll fly over and catch you."

"Go home. It's still out there."

"No. It's right here." Chen Yi acted coquettishly in front of Jian Ran, without feeling shy at all.

"Farewell, let's go home." Jian Ran touched his head, blushing and whispered to him that she could kiss him any way she wanted at home.

"Then go home quickly, there will be a traffic jam in a while."

Chen Yi pulled Jian Ran and started running on the gradually bustling pedestrian street.

In the colorful neon lights, they feel that they are the happiest two among the endless stream of people.
