Love on the left bank, you on the right bank

Xu Haicen is an iceberg beauty as cold as ice, while the teacher is a gentle but somewhat desolate woman.

Is it the mild warmth of the cold spring, or the mildness of the bleak autumn wind?

What am I thinking... Well, I think everything is my overthinking.I am just one of Xu Haicen's many classmates, just like I am also just one of the teacher's students, nothing special.

I pretended nothing had happened and continued to work, serving coffee and ordering food as if nothing had happened.

When there were 10 minutes left before get off work, sister Yuxin sat at the counter and waved to me. I put down the cash register and walked over. It motioned me to sit down with its eyes, so I sat beside her.

"Ajie, bring me a cup of black coffee and black tea latte." Yu Xin ordered to Ajie.Ajie just nodded without looking back, and made coffee neatly.

"Xiao Zuo, I think I'll get straight to the point and say it." Sister Yu Xin was rarely serious but not oppressive.

But I'm still nervous. "What?"

"I just... saw it." Sister Yu Xin lowered her head, playing with the little doll on the counter with her fingers.Maybe it's because I don't want to put pressure on me, I think.

"Sister Yuxin, do you mean the teacher and Xu Haicen?" I heard my voice was a little unnatural, and my expression was a little tense.

Sister Yuxin nodded, and at this time Ajie brought two cups of coffee to us.To my surprise, Ajie handed me a black tea latte, not the usual black coffee.

"Xiao Zuo, let me ask you, is black tea latte coffee?" Sister Yu Xin looked at me.

"Black tea latte? If there is a latte, it means coffee, right?" I was puzzled. Sister Yu Xin shook her head, then smiled and said, "Black tea latte is fresh milk tea. A latte in Taiwan is equal to a latte." Coffee is fine, but it’s different in foreign countries. If you order a “latte” abroad, he will give you a glass of fresh milk.”

I froze, then nodded in understanding.

"In foreign countries, latte has nothing to do with coffee, so you have to say "coffee latte" when ordering food, but Taiwan is different, latte is equal to coffee."

I listened carefully to sister Yuxin's words, although I didn't understand what she wanted to express.She also seemed to see my doubts, she pushed the cup of black tea latte towards me, and said, "Take a sip and see."

I took a sip as she said, and it really didn't taste like coffee, but just the aroma of fresh milk and the smooth taste of black tea.

"What I want to say is that many things can't be distinguished by established impressions. You have to taste it yourself to know what it really tastes like."

"But if...you know it's poison, would you drink it to quench your thirst?" I asked.

Sister Yuxin laughed a few times and narrowed her eyes, "You're asking a good question, but Xiao Zuo, will you fall in love with poison? I should say, is it as bad as you think?"

I was stunned when asked back.

"Xiao Zuo, you know that there are four spaces in our human heart? This means that one heart can contain four kinds of people. One is yourself and your relatives, and the other is people you can only miss but have no fate. , the third is the person who makes you understand how to love, and finally, the person you will stay with for the rest of your life.”

"Does this statement fit everyone?"

"Of course not everyone, but many people around me are like this, including myself." Sister Yuxin pushed the cup of black coffee towards me, and then said, "Ajie should have told you that you look like black coffee, right? "

I nodded slightly, expressing my acquiescence.

"Black coffee is the coffee that can best test the skill of a barista among all types of coffee, because it is the simplest and the most difficult. If people are like coffee, everyone is a cup of black coffee at the beginning. experience, along with emotions, sorrows and joys, we begin to create our own taste.”

I lowered my head, looked at the black coffee, and asked softly, "Then why... I look like black coffee?"

"Because you are pure and kind, you will not change your essence because of the external environment or past memories, so you are like black coffee, very strong and bitter."

I felt my temples start to ache and buzz. "Then... what kind of coffee is Miss Yunxi?"

"Yunxi?" Sister Yuxin smiled softly, her eyes became doting, "She will never be the coffee, if I really want to say, she will be the one who tastes the coffee."

I raised my head and followed Sister Yuxin's eyes to Sister Yunxi who was messing with the guests.Sister Yuxin's expression is gentle and strong, although I don't understand what she means when she says that Sister Yunxi is tasting coffee, but I know──she loves her very much

"Okay, Xiao Zuo, your teacher is here to pick you up."

I turned my head, and I really saw the teacher's March parked quietly outside the store, and it was on time every time.

I got up and smiled gratefully at Sister Yuxin, "Thank you. Although I may not understand what Sister Yuxin said to me, I feel much better. Also, I like black tea latte very much, and black coffee is bitter." I stick out my tongue.

Sister Yuxin smiled, and waved to me to ask me not to keep the teacher waiting too long.

"Ah Zuo." Xu Haicen's voice came from behind, she came to me and hooked my arm, which made me froze for a few seconds, "Huh? What are you doing?"

"No?" She raised her eyebrows and moved closer.

I scratched my head, honestly it didn't feel bad. "I'm fine, it's up to you."

She smiled lightly, always feeling that that smile was a bit cunning...

I went out with her to meet, she suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered: "See you tomorrow, I want ham and quiche. Remember to buy me an extra one." After saying that, she left. I was stunned, and then said to Looking at her back, she shouted, "How do you know that I buy my own breakfast?"

"I just know." She turned her head and smiled at me, then walked away lightly.

What kind of weird situation is this...does that guy mean the little queen?

With a dark face, I touched my nose and opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and put on my seat belt.Turning my head to look at the side face of the teacher, there is some inexplicable gloom, which makes my back a little chill, is it too cold?

I patted my back, when the teacher spoke first, "What's wrong? Why are you stroking my back?"

"Oh...no, I just feel a little weird. By the way, teacher, uh...are you unhappy?" I asked cautiously.

The teacher pursed his lower lips, and smiled a little reluctantly, "No. By the way, it's been a few days since you transferred here? Can you still get used to it?"

"It's okay, the classmates in the class are also nice to me, nothing special."

"Is that so.... Are you and Xu Haicen very close?" The teacher looked at me from the rearview mirror while turning on the turn signal.

"Xu Haicen? Uh...she is a very special person, I think." The teacher chatted with me about family affairs, and of course I also chatted accordingly.

"Special? How do you say? Because she is the school belle?" The teacher asked while looking straight ahead.

I rubbed my nose, thinking of that weird guy Xu Haicen, it turns out she is the school girl. "Oh, so she is the school belle? Not exactly, I just think she likes to tease me, hugs me like a pet, and says some weird things."

The teacher asked me to continue talking silently with his eyes.

"Like just now, Xu Haicen asked me to buy her breakfast tomorrow. That woman is really lazy. Otherwise, she hugged me suddenly. To be honest, I'm not easy. Wouldn't it hurt to be pressed on her? Hmm , and she also loves to touch my head, treating me like a puppy."

Wait, why do I feel that the more I talk, the faster the teacher drives... I peek at the side of the teacher's face, it looks calm and nothing strange, it seems that the teacher is really not feeling well today.

"I always feel that... there are many people who are special to you." The teacher laughed a few times, and slowly slowed down. In fact, it was almost to the alley near my house.

"Me? Will I? I think I can count with five fingers?" This is the result of my serious thinking.

The teacher just responded in a low voice, and then parked the car. When I was taking my schoolbag and trying to unbuckle my seat belt, the teacher said softly, "Seeing that you have so many things, let me help you."

Then, the faint bath fragrance from the teacher's body came to my nostrils. I held my breath and watched the teacher bowing his head and concentrating, feeling a little inexplicably nervous.

The teacher seemed to notice my nervousness, she chuckled a few times. "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you again."

The teacher is almost sticking to my body to unbuckle the seat belt, how can I not be nervous!

"Si Ting." The teacher's words were soft, very gentle and pleasant to hear, making it hard not to notice. "Do you really think... that I'm a good teacher?"

"Of course." Why did the teacher ask that?

The teacher lowered his head slightly, smiled lowly, then retracted his body, avoiding my gaze and said, "Get out of the car, see you tomorrow."

"Oh...see you tomorrow." I opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked slowly towards the house. When I was about to go in, I turned around and saw the teacher's car was still parked at the alley.

When I walked into the house, entered the study and looked out the window, the teacher's car was still parked there.

Teacher.....today was really weird.
