days of waiting

Li Chen was sitting, sipping coffee quietly, when Mi Yining woke up in the seat opposite to him.

The floor has been mopped dry, after all, it is not good for the wooden floor to be soaked in water like this.The surrounding chairs were carried upside down on the coffee table as before, and Bitter&Sweet in the morning is always so spotless and clean.

"Xiaomi, you shouldn't drink indiscriminately." Li Chen said quietly, the tiredness on her face so heavy that she didn't have to find other expressions to cover up her emotions.

"Yesterday..." Mi Yining scratched his head, slightly frowned his pretty eyebrows and thought about it, but couldn't remember what happened.

It would be best if all she remembered was the dull ache of a hangover.

"Chen, did I trouble you?" Mi Yining staggered and stood up, and found himself wearing the shirt that Li Chen had left in the shop for emergencies.

"fine."

As Li Chen said, he took another sip of his drink, "Would you like some hot water, it rained yesterday."

Mi Yining shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that I get drunk so easily..." Mi Yining said with an embarrassed expression, "I didn't know that I would come to the store when I was drunk."

"It's okay." Li Chen forced a smile and shook his head.

Xiaomi nodded, went into the toilet to tidy up a bit, and left quickly.

Li Chen got up and poured a cup of boiling water for himself, washed away the cocoa smell in his throat, and at the same time, there was a thick nutty aftertaste of coffee, but it couldn't drive away the sourness lingering in his nasal cavity.

Just like what Cheng Youwei said... I didn't expect to keep telling her the truth.

Li Chen is really getting more and more directionless.

"Ah Chen, why are you listless today? Didn't you drink coffee in the morning?" Cheng Youwei yelled and asked, "I've set you free, you can drink whatever you like!"

Han Zhaojie looked at it quietly for a while, didn't say much else, lowered his head and continued to study the color ticket.

He must know, he is always more delicate and sensitive than anyone else, he knows that the quieter Li Chen is, the more excited he will be like waves, and he also knows that the mood at this moment cannot be described or resolved with words, and he knows that this matter is not up to Cheng Youwei. It is useless to talk too much when asking in front of you, and what you get may not be ridiculed, but most of them will be scolded.

"Achen! Achen!" Cheng Youwei yelled, still unclear about Li Chen's depression, "Can I ask Xiaomi to make a thousand-layer cake today?"

"You can ask her when she's here." Li Chen responded lightly and perfunctorily, and his eyes drifted to the door again.

when will she come

Or is she not coming today?

They...are they reconciled?

Is it possible for Xiaomi's dream to come true when he was drunk?

"Li Chen," Han Zhaojie called out suddenly in a soft and deep voice, making Li Chen look away from the door, "Sometimes you should think more about yourself."

"Huh?" Cheng Youwei turned his head and asked, moaning from his throat, apparently feeling abrupt.

"She sounds like she's about to catch a cold." Han Zhaojie turned his head and explained to Cheng Youwei, but before lowering his head again, he gave Li Chen a meaningful look.

Think more for yourself...?

That's because as long as Xiaomi smiles happily, Li Chen will also be happy watching it.This can be regarded as... have you thought about yourself a little bit?At least in some respects, Li Chen felt that he was very selfish.

"Achen, Achen, Zhengmei is approaching in a straight line at the direction of nine o'clock at a speed of one kilometer per hour!"

Cheng Youwei suddenly lowered his voice and shouted, Li Chen turned around, forced a smile and nodded to Ye Jiangyun.

Immediately, Cheng Youwei's expression became quite serious, he closed his mouth tightly, and straightened his back.If it wasn't for Li Chen being too familiar with the person in front of him, he might be deceived by that appearance and not know that she is trying hard to experience the process of degeneration inside.

"Morning, Li Chen."

A girl's greeting is lighter than air.

"Jiang Yun, you seem to be in a good mood." Li Chen said, perhaps because he had swung to the bottom of the valley, so the slight jump of joy on the other side was as conspicuous as black spots on white paper.

"Not bad." Ye Jiangyun chuckled.

Cheng Youwei's body shook slightly.

"Sit here!" Han Zhaojie raised his head and smiled friendlyly, pointing to the seat beside him.

"Li Chen, I brought something for you."

As she spoke, she pushed a package of things onto the table, which could almost explain her good mood.

"Give it to me?" Li Chen asked, a little flattered, no one had given her anything before.

Ye Jiangyun nodded and smiled, "You shouldn't be so rare about this kind of thing, but I just want to share it with someone..."

"...After much deliberation, you are the most suitable."

Cheng Youwei snorted sullenly.

"What?" Han Zhaojie approached curiously and asked.

Li Chen stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the outer packaging, he knew the contents.

"Coffee beans."

Ye Jiangyun nodded, "It's a jerk."

The person she calls "teacher" is actually a bean baker, and he is the kind of bean baker who likes to experiment with his own combination, whether it is a mix of multiple production regions, or a single production region with different roasting degrees Combinations are quite common, which makes Li Chen come into contact with much more blended beans than coffee beans from a single production area in his short career in the specialty coffee industry.

So when she opened the outer package, shook it against the light, inspected it for a while, and then sniffed it directly, she could barely guess the contents.

"Medium roast, Central and South America?"

Li Chen asked, seeing Ye Jiangyun's calm expression slightly showing admiration and nodding.

"Hand pour." Ye Jiangyun suggested when Li Chen reached out to take the Saifeng pot, "The taste of hand pouring... is more scattered and easier to distinguish." At the same time, he can taste the richness.

"Agreed." Li Chen nodded and boiled water.

Cheng Youwei pulled Han Zhaojie's wrist in dissatisfaction, and the two of them almost fell into their own small world when chatting about coffee.

It seems...it seems to be the acidity of some fruits, like the aftertaste of Darjeeling black tea...this unique taste can be recognized immediately.

How can it be?This kind of mixing is really random.

Li Chen put down his coffee cup and looked at Ye Jiangyun suspiciously.

"That's right, Yirgacheffe is in Brazil."

This kind of casual mix-and-match is almost similar to the teacher's gameplay. She probably knows someone with huge resources, right?

No wonder to be happy.

"I know you think this match is weird..." Ye Jiangyun said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders, "But I can't deny it, it's not a flavor."

Li Chen showed his first sincere smile today, and the joy of sharing can really be exaggerated.

This is really good coffee, yes.

The sour and fragrant taste is not too fast, and the depth of ground burnt bitterness is further enhanced.The thickness of Yirgacheffe is not high, but this cup of mixed coffee can taste the consistency on the tip of the tongue.

"That... Li Chen..." Han Zhaojie said timidly, as if he was embarrassed to break into the world shared by the two, "That... can I have a cup?" It was a request from Han Zhaojie who hated coffee!

Cheng Youwei immediately showed a betrayed expression.

This afternoon, everyone was drinking coffee with Li Chen, and suddenly everything seemed to be acceptable, as if a bad day was actually not so bad, it turned out that it was so bad that it could be saved.

"I know you like single products..." Ye Jiangyun said with a hint of apology.

"No, it's great coffee."

As Li Chen spoke, he saw Cheng Youwei sticking out his tongue behind Ye Jiangyun's back.

It seems that there are still some things worthy of happiness. When Li Chen looks around Bitter&Sweet, he has the motivation to continue to breathe and continue to beat.

Li Chen looked at Ye Jiangyun's gentle smile towards him, and felt that he was not completely desperate.

Later, there was an extra regular customer in front of the bar.

Ye Jiangyun, Han Zhaojie, Cheng Youwei.

When the girl sips black coffee and reads classic literary masterpieces, there is also an atmosphere that belongs exclusively to her.
