days of waiting

Yega, Xue Fei.

In the ancient Chinese language, "Xuefei" refers to wetlands, while "Yega" means settlement.

On a certain level, the name alone has a very romantic and peaceful taste.

"Li Chen, what are the bitterness and sweetness in your life that you feel must be savored devoutly?"

While waiting for the boiling water to cool down, the other party asked.

Li Chen told her that she didn't need to be called by the store manager or the store manager, so the girl agreed to call her by her name.

At the same time, Li Chen also knew that this girl was called Ye Jiangyun.

"'Wait'." Li Chen replied.

"So that's it." Ye Jiangyun nodded, watching Li Chen raise the hand pouring pot and drop the slender water column in a spiral, a little admiring, "The steaming is really successful, the coffee powder is so high that it didn't break..."

Li Chen shook his head.

"It's because the beans are fresh, so steaming them naturally is good." Although it has something to do with technology, if the beans have been stored for several weeks, no matter how good the technique is, they won't get bored.

Ye Jiangyun smiled lightly, "Li Chen, you are a very special person."

"yes?"

Li Chen never felt that way.

She knows that she is a character more indifferent than water, and can be easily ignored in the crowd.

The first water injection falls on top of the coffee powder, and the white foam that is forced out is the impurities of the coffee. The advantage of hand pouring is that it can separate these things and make the taste more pure.

"I'm a very boring person."

Li Chen said, her eyes were focused on the coffee in front of her. Even though she knew that Ye Jiangyun was looking at her with interest, she still dealt with everything that happened at hand with a consistent pace.

"No, you're not boring." Ye Jiangyun shook his head lightly, "Have a personality, not just rebellious or radical."

"...?"

"Li Chen, you are a very gentle person, but your method is very light and meticulous..." She said, lowering her volume, "The person who made you wait is very happy, but she hasn't Discover."

Maybe she'll never find out.

Li Chen thought so, so he couldn't be happy no matter how much he was praised, "Thank you."

"Li Chen, I know how it feels to wait for someone."

Ye Jiangyun was talking when Li Chen moved the filter cup and gently shook the coffee pot to make the liquid even.

"I once waited for someone..." Her tone was very flat, without emotion, "I know the days of waiting."

When receiving the coffee from Li Chen, Ye Jiangyun didn't say anything else.

"Have you waited?" If you don't have hope, you can't wait, but Li Chen knows that if you hold hope, you won't be able to wait in the end, the loss is too bitter and astringent.

She shook her head slightly.

Li Chen was silent.

"Is it worth giving up, or is it worth waiting?" Li Chen asked hesitantly.

Ye Jiangyun smiled wryly.

"Li Chen, I ask you this question, how do you answer?"

"I don't know... I really don't know..."

She has been entangled for a long time, and she has been persuading herself to let go of the knot since a long time ago. After listening to Cheng Youwei's nagging for so long, it is impossible not to give up.

But "knowing" and "actually doing it" are two different things.

Ye Jiangyun put down the coffee cup, and subconsciously stroked the cover of the thick book again.

"Midsummer Night's Dream".

"A Midsummer Night's Dream." Only then did Li Chen see clearly the words on the cover.

The girl nodded, her expression was calm and unnatural.

"I always feel..." she said, almost mocking indifferently, "my love is like a drama, but it's just half-acted..."

Li Chen suddenly understood something, he shook his head and didn't want Ye Jiangyun to continue talking.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a story about Lysander and Hermitage, who elope.When they were planning to go far away, their friend Helena revealed their plan to Hermia's fiancé Demetrius.These fleeing and chasing people lost their way in the forest, so they took a nap under a tree, and met naughty elves, making them all fall in love with the first person they saw when they opened their eyes.

At the moment when they opened their eyes, Lysander and Demetrius saw Helena at the same time and fell in love with her at the same time.The heroine, Hermitia, was suddenly lonely.

Perhaps it was because there was too much in their plain expressions, or because they were holding the steaming coffee cups at this moment, which should be a warm atmosphere, but Li Chen felt a kind of despair and sadness that hit the bottom of the valley.She was sure that in Ye Jiangyun's metaphor, she was that Hemi Ya.

Desperate love is a half-acted drama, and the absurd plot is like a tragic reincarnation, and I don’t want to go to the moment when the comedy is announced at the end of the curtain.

Play is like life, life is like play.

It's just that no one has told you what mentality to face if yours is a farce with no end.

"I drank his Yirgacheffe and thought it was the 'settle down' I'd been waiting for..."

People walked into Bitter&Sweet with their own stories.

Just like Zhang Shujin, who loves deep flavors and prefers heavy roasted coffee, Li Chen can feel from simple conversations that her life is generally smooth sailing, but there are always some outrageous mistakes in small links.Little details alone can ruin everything...

She guessed that Zhang Shujin was very bitter in love.

Li Chen tilted his head and tried to piece together Ye Jiangyun's broken tone, knowing that she might have used all her expectations to outline a future, but the heaviest and biggest blow came from being caught off guard.What Li Chen can be sure of is that the person Ye Jiangyun is waiting for must be a jerk.

This love is not worth it, but falling in love is falling in love after all.

Maybe I am very, very lucky, right?

Li Chen thought, at least Xiaomi never expects himself, so even if he gets hurt once a day, Li Chen feels at ease when he gets hurt, at least he won't feel the kind of indignant heartache of falling into a trap.

"It's just Li Chen, you let me understand something."

"What?" Li Chen wondered.

"No matter how bitter or astringent the taste is, that's life." Ye Jiangyun said, taking another sip of coffee thoughtfully. Experience, this is the only way to taste sweetness in bitterness, isn’t it?”

nod.

"I can taste it numbly and unconsciously, but if I run away from reality, I miss more scenery than I imagined..."

"... If you only know how to move forward, such a life is sad, right?"

Li Chen looked at the innocent smiling face of the girl in front of him, and knew that even though she said that, there was still a complicated and sad plot, but she chose to face it from this moment.

Li Chen thought, she threw out this concept by herself, how much has she practiced?

"Li Chen, don't you want coffee?"

Ye Jiangyun asked Li Chen softly.

"No, don't drink."

Even though he knew that Cheng Youwei couldn't arrive in time at this distance, and she was unlikely to come to stop her due to the existence of Zhengmei, Li Chen still shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"...Maybe, maybe I'm not worthy of this "settlement"..."

Li Chen thought, she will be ready, but not yet.

...One day she will be willing to taste it, even if the bitter taste is overwhelming, on that day she will accept and taste it calmly, even if it negates her constant expectation, she will still accept it with an open mind , regardless of the facts...
