, took out a book and opened it, and found that it was an all-English book.

The corner of Mu Chen's mouth curled up in an embarrassing arc, whose English grades have been hovering near the passing line all year round.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Hao reading with a book, but he seemed to be able to read without hindrance.

He leaned forward to see if the book he was holding was also full English, but the table was too far between them to see anything.

"Jiang Hao, let's change?"

Jiang Hao stopped his hand that was about to turn the pages, and pushed the book in his hand in front of him.

...Fuck, it's all in English.

"Is this a humanoid translator?" Mu Chen whispered bb.

"what?"

"It's nothing."

At this time, a beautiful sister who had never seen in the store before came over with two cups of coffee and put them on their table.The upper layer of Mu Chen's cup is coffee-colored, and the lower layer is some light blue bubbling liquid. The upper layer of Jiang Hao's cup is dark brown of coffee, and the lower layer is milky white. There seems to be some grain fragments at the bottom of the cup.

"'Fate Encounter' and 'Sentimental Time', take your time, both of you."

"Let me introduce to you, this is Shang Yuxi, my sister-in-law and RECOLLECTION' chief planner." Zheng Ge introduced from the side.

"What nonsense?" Shang Yuxi kicked Zheng Feng with her high-heeled foot.

Zheng Feng was in pain, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, it's okay, that kid Zhao Mingxiao is really ignorant, they have been together for seven years and haven't proposed yet."

"Call my sister-in-law and call him a kid. I'm not afraid of teaching bad children if the generations are so messed up."

Zhao Mingxiao is Zheng Feng's best buddy, two years older than him, and is said to be RECOLLECTION's largest shareholder. Mu Chen has met him before. He looks a bit popular but he is very kind and has a refined temperament. There is such a beautiful and humorous girlfriend.

Mu Chen watched them quarrel for a long time, and finally found a chance to intervene.

"Hi, sister-in-law, may I ask why these two cups of coffee are named like this?"

"This is quite a story. In this cup of 'Sentimental Time', the lower layer is green tea sparkling water, like a first love with beautiful bubbles. The taste is refreshing, sweet and sour. The upper layer is latte coffee, which is mellow Bitter taste, this is generally recommended to drink with a straw, slowly transition from the sparkling water on the lower layer to the latte on the upper layer, just like first love, the sweetness at first is mixed with a little sourness, and then as time goes by, people will slowly drink it. Mature slowly, and taste the bitterness of love slowly. But only after tasting the bitterness, can you get the long-lasting mellowness.

"This cup of 'Fateful Encounter', the lower layer is oat milk and oatmeal, and the upper layer is Italian espresso. Visually, it is a collision of white and black. At the beginning, it is obvious layering, which looks contrasting, but it only needs to be stirred a little The upper and lower layers will quickly merge, and finally merge into a light brown. These two drinks have their own characteristics when they are drunk separately, but after they are combined, the aroma of oat milk will neutralize part of the bitterness of coffee, and the strong aroma of coffee will fill up. The monotony of oat milk, the oatmeal at the bottom will make the taste richer, just like fate, there are ups and downs, not a monotonous straight line. The combination of these elements takes people with opposite personalities in the ups and downs of fate The meaning of meeting and blending, tolerant of each other's shortcomings, making up for each other's deficiencies, and going through a bumpy life together."

"Sister Yuxi is so good at talking." Mu Chen couldn't help admiring.

"She and her husband are both graduates of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of a famous university. They were originally in the National Insurance Research Reserve. They have excellent literary talent and taste. They helped me to advise on the decoration of the coffee shop."

"Whose husband are you talking about?"

"Did you call me?" Zhao Mingxiao squatted behind the bar counter and didn't know what he was doing. Hearing the sound, his face appeared from behind, so he interjected.

"Who called you?"

Zheng Ge quickly avoided Shang Yuxi's murderous eyes, and ran to the door of the store to prepare for opening.

Mu Chen OS: ...This beautiful sister is quite irritable.

After Brother Zheng and Shang Yuxi left, Mu Chen and Jiang Hao started to drink the coffee on the table. Mu Chen took a sip of the sparkling water in the lower layer with a straw.

Is this the taste of first love?

Jiang Hao's "Fateful Encounter" has basically no layering. The whole cup of coffee has turned into a beautiful light brown color, which looks very gentle. For some reason, Mu Chen feels that Jiang Hao who is drinking this cup of coffee Hao looked a little gentle.

"Can I taste yours?"

Jiang Hao glanced at him, as if he didn't understand what he said.

"If you don't speak, it will be considered as your consent."

Mu Chen took the coffee in front of Jiang Hao and took a sip through the straw.

It really is the fusion of coffee and oat milk. The aroma of coffee is preserved to the greatest extent, while the bitterness is reduced, and the mellow aroma of oat milk is added.

tastes good.

Mu Chen couldn't help but took another sip.

When he put the coffee back, he saw Jiang Hao's face was a little unhappy.

"What's the matter with you, isn't it just a couple of sips of your coffee, cheapskate."

He also put his "young time" in front of Jiang Hao. "Let you drink it back."

Jiang Hao felt that there was a divergence between his consciousness and behavior. His consciousness told him not to drink, but his behavior seemed to be deaf and he drank the coffee that Mu Chen had drunk.

Use the straw that Mu Chen used.

It's nothing to worry about, they are all boys, and he has no cleanliness.

Although it has just entered May, the weather has become significantly hotter. The temperature at noon can reach more than 20 degrees. Children of their age have already put on short-sleeved shirts.Jiang Hao wore a pure black short-sleeve today, which made his skin white and glowing, without any patterns on it. This kind of design, which often looks dull, brought out his extraordinary temperament.

No matter how you look at this person, he doesn't look like a student who can study in No. [-] Middle School...

Mu Chen thought to himself.

Another day, we must figure out his motive for transferring to another school.

They were busy all morning as usual, and they finally got free around noon.

Mu Chen walked to the bookshelf again, looking through each one, trying to find one he could read, but found that most of them were in English, and only a few Chinese books.

"Brother Zheng, why are there so many English books in your store?"

"That, it's actually his selfishness. He wants to see it and he is reluctant to buy it. When he opens the shop, he can pay for it and buy it."

Shang Yuxi replied from the side.

"It's like embezzling public funds for me..."

"Brother Zheng also likes to read English books, English is so good."

"Not really, I didn't do much in high school, but I like it very much, so I can learn by myself when I have nothing to do."

Zheng Feng recalled that he was forced to drop out of school to work part-time at that time. Every time between breaks, he would find a corner where no one would go, and read in a low voice with an English textbook borrowed from a friend.Later, I saved money to buy a mobile phone, and downloaded various English learning courses from the Internet, and gradually I was able to read English books.It's a pity that all the books in the UK are too expensive, and I'm always reluctant to buy them. When decorating a coffee shop, it's like building a bookshelf, which can not only enrich the elements of the coffee shop, but also satisfy one's private wishes.

He had thought before that it would be good if he could be a translator in the future, with income and stability, maybe he would be able to get rid of this kind of uncertain life of being chased by debts every day and having today and no tomorrow.

If those things hadn't happened later, maybe I wouldn't have chosen to open a cafe now.

Mu Chen really never imagined that Zheng Feng, who is a handsome big brother, would be a book fan.When he came to the cafe for the first time, he felt that the quiet and elegant style here was a bit incompatible with Zheng Feng. After learning about Shang Yuxi and Zhao Mingxiao's academic qualifications, he guessed whether it was their influence.

Only now did I know that under Zheng Ge's warm and unrestrained appearance, there is such a hidden attribute that is unknown to everyone.

Each one is like a special cup of coffee, with a rich and unique taste.

22. Meeting by Fate

Brother Zheng ordered takeaway for everyone during the lunch break, and everyone got together to chat and eat.

The initiator of the chat is of course Mu Chen.

"I really can't tell, Brother Zheng looks like a big brother in the world, he is so literary in private."

"It's just him, he's still the big brother, and it's almost as good as our little brother."

Shang Yuxi retorted.

"You two have a really good relationship." Jiang Hao rarely expressed his opinion.

"Speaking of which, I met Lao Zhao and her by chance. At that time, I was hired to mow the lawn at their school. When I got to the lawn next to the library, I was about to start a chainsaw. They happened to pass by and called me 'uncle' '."

"Isn't Brother Zheng younger than you? And he looks...don't worry about it."

"How did we know that at the time, he was wearing gray work clothes full of stains, and his back was facing us. His back looked exactly like the old man who usually went to mow the lawn."

"The first thing they said to me was 'Uncle, why don't you mow the lawn here? ah."

"You guys are really interesting." Jiang Hao commented.

"So, why stop him?" Mu Chen found that Jiang Hao seemed to talk more today.

“Because there were ten minutes before the library would close at that time, when we walked out there were still many students reading books or looking up materials, the sound of lawn mowing would definitely disturb them, so I want to remind this lawn mower 'Uncle'."

"When I turned around, they were also taken aback, and quickly said, 'I'm sorry, I read it wrong'. At that time, they thought this experience was very interesting."

"Later Brother Zhao and I saw that this boy was several years younger than us.
