half city sweet

The phone was silent for a while before Zhang Ye continued, "Fang Chen said that I would give Huo Jingchen a chance, but I think only you can give him this chance. Qiao Chu, it's been two years. Whether you're unwilling to be disappointed or angry, those things It's all over, life is long, you two can't live in regret forever, give him a chance, a chance to let him go and let yourself go."

Qiao Chu held the phone and lowered his brows, his face was unsettled, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, and it took him a long time to say "hang up."

The sound of the rain outside the window gradually subsided, and the water droplets on the eaves dripped intermittently, splashing a piece of water.

Lihai has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and it is windy at night, especially after it rains, the temperature is lower.Qiao Chu was wrapped in a thick coat, but he couldn't help shivering when he went out.

Huo Jingchen followed him and handed over a scarf at the right time, "Zhang Ye said that you are afraid of the cold, so I specially prepared it for you."

The dark blue checked cashmere scarf exudes a faint tea fragrance, and is folded squarely with edges and corners.

Qiao Chu glanced at the non-stop walking, Huo Jingchen followed closely and stopped in front of him, shook off the scarf and put his hand around his neck, "Even if you don't want to talk to me, don't wrong yourself, it's cold, wrap around."

The night wind blew the corners of his clothes, Qiao Chu gathered the scarf around his neck and walked around him.

Not far from the cafe, there are a few semi-old houses that are not new. It is completely dark, but there are not many floors with lights. It is estimated that there are not many residents. The neighborhood is very quiet. The trees on both sides of the road grow very tall, and the leaves follow The night wind rustled.Huo Jingchen followed Qiao Chu silently until he stopped at the door of a building.

Huo Jingchen twitched his lips and took a step back, "It's dark, I'll watch you go up."

The floors of the community are not high, and within 2 minutes after Qiao Chu went up, the light of the house on the left of the third floor turned on. Huo Jingchen walked to the window where the light was on, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, and poured it down. He took out one and put it in his mouth, holding the lighter in his right hand. His hand was trembling and he lit it three times in a row before it was completely ignited.

It wasn't until the moon passed that the lights on the third floor went dark.Qiao Chu didn't sleep well, his brows were tightly furrowed, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was stuck in the nightmare two years ago and couldn't wake up. When he got up, the pajamas on his body were already soaked in cold sweat. He took a deep breath, got up and went to the window and pulled the curtains aside. Pushing the window open, the cold wind of dawn rushed in. The sudden cold made his body tremble uncontrollably. After shaking, the whole person slowly calmed down.

It has been a long time since he dreamed of two years ago, Xiao Bai said that he recovered very well, and he thought he had forgotten the pain and suffering, but now he discovered that those memories have not disappeared at all, they are just dormant in him. In the corner of his body, they stared at him closely, as soon as he let down his vigilance, they would rush out and crush him completely.

The morning wind was piercing, but after 10 minutes of blowing, Qiao Chu's knee felt a sharp pain.He supported the window lattice with his hands and slightly relaxed his legs, and waited until the stinging pain was not so severe before he straightened up and planned to go back to bed and lie down for a while.

Just as he reached out to close the window, there was a suppressed coughing sound from downstairs, the sound was very familiar, Qiao Chu paused his hand to close the window, and looked down downstairs.Huo Jingchen stood under the poplar tree by the window of his bedroom, coughing and took out a cigarette and passed it to his mouth. His hands were red with cold, and the hand holding the lighter was so stiff that he couldn't use any strength. He swiped twice before pressing it. Come out on fire.

Huo Jingchen smoked very quickly, without any skill, he sucked it in hard and spit it out quickly, without any sense of enjoyment, but with a sense of self-punishment.

The cigarette in his hand burned out quickly, Huo Jingchen stretched out his hand and took out another one, and just put it in his mouth, he was interrupted by Qiao Chu, "What are you doing?"

Obviously questioning, Huo Jingchen raised his head and was stunned for a moment, then said "Smoke-cigarette."

Qiao Chu glanced at the pile of cigarette butts at his feet, and at a rough glance, there were already a dozen of them. The sudden anger made Qiao Chu's voice contain a three-point condemnation, "Standing smoking under my window is to let me be second-handed." Are you choking on the smoke?"

Huo Jingchen couldn't turn his head after the cold wind blowing outside all night. As soon as he heard Qiao Chu's voice, he subconsciously took two steps back, and then looked at him seriously: I'm far away, I can't choke your turn.

Qiao Chu was speechless by his movements, seeing Huo Jingchen about to light a cigarette again, Qiao Chu quickly said, "Come up."

Huo Jingchen looked at him in disbelief, as if what he just heard was his hallucination.Qiao Chu's knee was so sore, he didn't intend to repeat, he reached out to hold the window and left.Huo Jingchen hesitated for three seconds and quickly went upstairs. As soon as he reached the third floor, the door of the house on the left was pushed open from the inside. Qiao Chu glanced at him and turned sideways to get out of the way.

"Thank you!" Huo Jingchen didn't feel cold when he stood outside all night, but he felt his body was stiff and cold when he entered the room.

Qiao Chu threw the unopened towel to him, "there are clean pajamas in the bathroom." In the past two years, his heart and lungs were not good, and he always coughed non-stop when he was cold.The cold air on Huo Jingchen's body was heavy, and the smell of cigarettes was strong. He felt his throat a little itchy when he got close to Qiao Chu.

Huo Jingchen held the towel thrown by Qiao Chu and didn't move. He just stared at the furnishings in the room. It was so clean, so clean that it made people feel cold and depressing. The white coffee table, white sofa, white chandelier, and even the curtains were chosen Apricot white, which is the closest to white, is used, and there are almost no other colors in the room. This style was the least favorite of Qiao Chu in the past, and it is not even the slightest bit popular.

The cough in his throat couldn't be held back, Qiao Chu lowered his hand to his mouth and coughed a few times, Huo Jingchen immediately came back to his senses, glanced at the kitchen, and went to pour water with ease, waiting for Qiao Chu to react, he It has been handed over with water.

Qiao Chu didn't answer, so Huo Jingchen took his hand and stuffed the water glass over, then turned and went to the bathroom.

The suitable temperature came out through the water glass, Qiao Chu tightened his hand holding the glass, and sighed softly: After all, I am still not cruel enough.

The music in the cafe is soft and soothing, and the faint aroma of coffee wafts in the air.

Candy smiled and handed the takeaway cup to the customer, and then secretly glanced at the man sitting at the corner of the stairs. After a while, she walked over from behind the counter with a cup of hot coffee and replaced the cold coffee in front of the man. Lose.

"Tap", the sound of the coffee cup gently hitting the table brought Huo Jingchen back to his senses, he turned his gaze back from the third floor, and smiled faintly at Candy, "Thank you!"

Candy waved her hand, took the coffee back to the counter, poured it out and looked at Huo Jingchen, then followed his gaze to Qiao Chu who was sitting in a daze in front of the flower stand on the third floor.

She came early today, and just after changing her clothes, she heard someone push the door in. Candy warmly greeted Qiao Chu with a smiling face, "Morning, boss."

Qiao Chu nodded, and walked up to the third floor without stopping.

Candy has been with Qiao Chu for nearly a year, but it is the first time she has seen him so indifferent. She was a little confused for a while, but she heard the door open again before she finished her doubts. Candy immediately turned around with a smile on her face, and said dutifully "welcome."

The person who came didn't speak or move. He just stared at Qiao Chu's back for a while, and when he saw him go up to the third floor and sit in front of the flower stand, he forced a smile at Candy, "Please give me a cup of coffee." After speaking, he sat down at the table at the corner of the stairs, and then stared at Qiao Chu motionlessly all morning.

Candy lay on the counter and turned her head to look at Huo Jingchen for a while, and Qiao Chu for a while. After a while, she had an epiphany, secretly took a photo of Zhang Huo Jingchen with her mobile phone and sent it to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye answered very quickly, there were only six words: your boss's man.

The warm water that Candy drank into his mouth choked directly into his throat, coughing so loudly that he couldn't straighten up.Her movement was so loud that Huo Jingchen looked over. Candy immediately smiled at him with a smiling face on her face, and then ran towards the kitchen with her mobile phone in her arms.

Huo Jingchen looked at Candy's back, then turned his head and looked at Qiao Chu on the third floor. He moved his stiff body, then stood up from the table and walked to the stairs. He hesitated for a moment before walking up.

The interior of the three-storey coffee shop is almost all transparent glass. Huo Jingchen can clearly see the situation around him every step he takes.

There are two strings of white wind chimes hanging in front of the glass door on the third floor. When the wind blows, there will be a jingling sound. Huo Jingchen stands at the door and looks inside. Qiao Chu is sitting in front of a row of green radishes, holding a A pure white shower, holding a glass of clear water in one hand, staring at a green leaf in front of him, the bucket at his feet has been filled with water, and a lot of water has overflowed beside the chair.

Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes and reached out to push the glass door open.

"Dingling." The wind chime rang quickly, Qiao Chu came back to his senses, and turned to look at the door.

Huo Jingchen held the corner of his lips and raised his wrist, "It's noon, Zhang Ye said that your stomach problem is not recovering, you can't go hungry."

Tick, tick, the water in the bucket at Qiao Chu's feet overflowed more and more, Huo Jingchen stepped forward quickly and bent down to turn off the faucet, and then found a mop from the corner to clean up all the overflowing water at his feet.

Qiao Chu sat on the chair, watching Huo Jingchen rushing in and out to clean up, he didn't know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, he didn't feel touched, he didn't feel angry, it was just a kind of faint, unspeakable melancholy.

There is a wall clock in the lobby on the first floor of the coffee shop. Zhang Ye bought it when it opened. The vermilion solid wood clock doesn't match the whole restaurant at all, but Zhang Ye insisted on hanging it right above the counter. The name is: exorcising evil and transforming evil spirits.In fact, the clock was just used to remind Candy that it was time to order food for his boss.

Qiao Chu had a stomach problem, and he had taken a lot of medicines in the past two years, which had great side effects on his body. Xiao Bai didn't have a particularly good solution. He just told Zhang Ye to pay attention to his diet. Zhang Ye was used to being careless. But it was a rare care, and he moved a wall clock back from the mall the next day.
