smouldering

Tang Weiran panted heavily, not daring to raise his head.

Her knees were weak and trembling, but there seemed to be a stiff tendon stretched from her thighs to her toes, supporting her who could no longer control herself.

The colleague who was close before was standing near her holding Tang Weiran's mug, but he dared not hand it over if he wanted to hand it over, and he didn't know where to say it when he wanted to comfort her.With a final sigh, she only squeezed her palm in silent support.

The rest of them also seemed to have their mouths sewn shut with thread, sitting upright in their cubicles without moving at all, as if they had acupuncture points pressed on them.

Of course they can't move. Tang Weiran's sudden attack was aimed at the immediate superiors in the entire office. No matter what expressions and reactions they made, it was so inappropriate.

He Chenyang's face was like dry soil, ugly and stiff, his feet were nailed in place, the cuff buttons of his delicate suit were torn off by him inadvertently, and rolled onto the carpet, where they stopped next to the toes of dark brown leather shoes.

Tang Weiran finally gasped for breath. The moment she yelled out, the grievance and anger seemed to overwhelm her. She knew that she had a problem since she was a child, and she was prone to emotional agitation. Tears streamed down his face, so even Zhan Li's quarrel lost his style.

But in the past, she never cared about the disadvantages of this matter, and she didn't think there was anything worth fighting with others.

So she lived for more than twenty years, never thought that she would meet Xiaosan.

Still a male junior.

It's so good that this person is still the supervisor who just praised her at the department morning meeting, her former classmate, and her good boyfriend's good brother.

Some beautiful scenes of three people swimming together in the past shattered into pieces of glass, scratching her throat.

Thinking of this, Tang Weiran couldn't care less about the frozen air in front of her. She wanted to vomit, so she ran out, all the way to the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and someone came out with a big paper bag. She bent over and hunched over, holding her breath, fearing that she would vomit up and dirty someone's shoes in the next second, so she suppressed the churning in her stomach again, brute force Push open the door to the next stairwell.

The air here was several degrees colder than outside, enough for her to calm down alone.

His stomach growled twice, echoing in the empty corridor.Although Tang Weiran still felt that her chest was congested, she didn't want to vomit right now. She only took half a mouthful of toast for breakfast, and there was nothing to vomit if she wanted to.

She took out her mobile phone, clicked into the top window from the WeChat interface, paused for a while with her thumb on the "delete and add to blacklist" button, and then changed the note from "Baby Pig [Loving Heart]" to "Stinky SB".

Zhang Na's dialog box popped up just after the modification, "Of course, the most important thing for you now is to collect evidence! Don't be impulsive, you know?"

Tang Weiran let out a short breath from his nasal cavity, and replied a good word.

In fact, there is no evidence to collect, and I haven't had time to get the certificate, but I just live together, so there is no economic dispute, and the actuarial work is exhausted, so that whoever orders an extra meal usually just divides it up and leaves.

The relationship between her and Gan Yiming has always given each other space. If it weren't for Gan Yiming's cell phone broken yesterday and asking her for help, she would never have touched his cell phone this morning, and she would never have seen the relationship between him and He Chenyang, who are beyond ordinary brothers. There are conversations.

In an instant, she understood why Gan Yiming respected her so much, and even slept in separate rooms even though they were already living together as a couple.

Tang Weiran laughed, pulling the corners of his mouth very ugly.

After a while, the phone screen lights up with vibrations.Tang Weiran glanced at it, it was Gan Yiming calling, presumably to test her.She hung up without thinking about it, and after a few seconds, several calls came in a row. She closed her eyes and swipe away quickly one by one, but she slipped her hand and got connected.

"You dare to hang up on me now?"

"..." Tang Weiran took a deep breath, "Accidentally pressed the wrong button, Mom, what's wrong?"

"The boy Aunt Lin introduced last time is the one in the army. Have you used his WeChat? Why didn't you reply when I sent you a message?"

In the past, Gan Yiming could no longer be favored by Tang Weiran's parents, so she could use the words "I have a partner" to deal with it.

She paused for a while, "I've been very busy recently, so I didn't take care of it all at once."

"Busy, busy, are you busy? Are you busy? He also wants to meet you during his rare vacation. He is very sincere. What about you? You only use busyness to perfuse me!"

Tang Weiran listened, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, "I'm really busy."

"Girl, you are too old, you can't just think about playing."

"I see. I still have a job. I'll tell you later."

Tang Weiran didn't dare to say any more, she quickly hung up the phone and sniffed.

Zhang Na's message popped up again, "Don't be afraid of Ranran, I will always stand behind you!"

Tang Weiran leaned his head against the wall tiredly, and turned off the phone screen.

The heavy fire door was slowly pushed open, poked his head out, scanned the dimly lit corridor, and finally found Tang Weiran in the corner.

Tang Weiran also looked up at her, feeling familiar.

The person came in completely, wearing a brown suspender apron, and she asked carefully: "Are you... all right?"

Seeing the iconic natural curly hair, Tang Weiran finally remembered who she was.Not far from the office building, there is a very distinctive coffee shop in the creative park, which is the base for her friend Dong Yiqiu to write manuscripts and code words. This little girl is a barista there.

But how did she appear here?

Le An saw her doubts, and took the initiative to explain, "I'm here to deliver food."

Oh, they have a small store, and they even have a delivery service.

Tang Weiran nodded, stood up with the support of the wall, "Hi, long time no see."

Embarrassed and alienated, after all, she and the other party are really not familiar.

She thought that someone with long eyes should be able to see the situation because of the embarrassment at this moment, and then she said hello and left, but the little girl in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

She cared, "You seem to be in a bad mood, do you want to have a drink?"

Tang Weiran was so amused by her ignorance that she was speechless and wanted to laugh. Did she look so downcast that she wanted to have a drink in the middle of the day on weekdays?So she couldn't help but bring a bit of sharpness into her tone, "Does your coffee shop usually prepare wine?"

Le An pursed his lips and blinked his eyes, as if thinking, then nodded in confirmation: "Yes... Yes."

"50" is located in the western suburbs of Yunteng City. It was a large paper factory 200 years ago, and it has been transformed into an art and creative park.The renovated building on the basis of the old factory is avant-garde and unique, and the graffiti walls are full of strong modern art atmosphere, which is most attractive to students from the university town with a walking distance of less than [-] meters.

Le'an's cafe is located at No. 2 Middle Street of "[-]", at the corner of Antique Han Street and European Style Street.

Le An is the only barista in the barista. She has rich practical experience and a harmless face. When she is around, the business is pretty good.

Said to be the only one, but in fact the other barista and store manager doesn't appear often, and Le An's understanding of her is so shallow that he only knows her surname Mu.

Apart from Dong Yiqiu, the "resident" of the coffee shop, the only one who is willing to accompany Le'an throughout the shift is a dark-furred stray dog. Le An appropriately named it Robusta.

Robusta was only the size of a palm when she first arrived at the cafe, and was taken care of by Le An Haosheng. Now she is so heavy on her feet that Le An can't lift her legs.

On weekdays, there are only one or two tables of customers in the coffee shop during the daytime. The female version of let's start from here is playing softly in the shop. Tang Weiran, wearing a pink professional suit and high-heeled shoes, walked in and got in harmony with the atmosphere.

She looked at the low round table in the southeast corner. Dong Yiqiu was not there, but the books she usually read and an unopened round express were piled up on the table. Tables with stacked items were generally regarded as occupied, so never No one moved, so Dong Yiqiu occupied it very "dominantly". Anyway, she didn't miss the daily coffee money.

"Is Yiqiu not here?"

Le An led Tang Weiran, pushed aside the heavy cloth curtain from the corner of the console and entered the backstage.After all, the barista leading the guests to drink in broad daylight does not look very good.

"When I have to go out to work, sister Yiqiu usually comes in the afternoon."

Le An took out a dark glass bottle from the closed cabinet door. Tang Weiran would not recognize alcohol because she never drank.

"Is it your own collection?"

Le An smiled shyly, "No, it's used to make new blended wine, but it can also be drunk directly."

For a while, some Internet celebrity wine-flavored coffees were really popular. Tang Weiran brushed it on a certain social software.

"I thought you only made specialty coffee." Subconsciously, she thought that this kind of coffee shop would disdain to follow suit.

Le An took a glass, piled a lot of ice cubes in it, and poured some for her, "There is no distinction between high and low."

Tang Weiran thanked Le An, picked up the cup, and sipped a little bit under Le An's eyes, only tasted the taste of water from the melting of ice cubes, she did not dare to swallow it, because it is really not suitable for drinking iced drinks these days .

She didn't really want to drink. She just wanted to leave in the corridor half an hour ago. As for who would take her away and where, she hadn't thought about it.

Le An happened to bump into this breakthrough, but now she calmed down.

So she immediately realized that Le'an's enthusiasm and care made her a little overwhelmed, but it would be very rude for her to explain her thoughts now.Before the words came out, they rolled in her throat twice: "How do I call you?"

"Le'an, the joy of music is also the joy of happiness, you can call it whatever you want."

Tang Weiran nodded, "My name is Tang..."

"Tang Weiran. Sister Yiqiu said so."

"Oh." Tang Weiran was inexplicably twitched when he was called by his first name by someone he wasn't familiar with. After thinking for a while, "If you want to call her sister, you have to call me sister too, do you know?"

Le'an let out an "ah" and said embarrassedly, "Sister Weiran?"

Tang Weiran couldn't help but gasped. She felt that she was not at the age where she could accept people calling her "name + sister". "Forget it, just call me by my name."

Le An nodded obediently again: "Wei Ran."

She looked at Tang Weiran's still red and swollen eyes, and then saw her fingers, tapping on the glass wine glass that had never touched her soft lips after the first sip of "meaning".

"How about I get you a cup of hot chocolate?"

This is what Tang Weiran likes to drink, she smiled gratefully, "Thank you. I'll go and sit outside."

The backstage wasn't too big, and it was a semi-closed space. It was really strange that she and Le An stayed together.

Tang Weiran sat down at Dong Yiqiu's exclusive table, and within 5 minutes, Le An brought a cup of hot drink, as if aware of her intimacy, Le An put down his drink and left, went to the operating table and waited. Fiddle with work.

The chocolate is very thick and fragrant, and it is more authentic than drinks that are heavily watered.Tang Weiran sniffed twice and drank half a glass.

Tang Weiran didn't know what to do, she lay on the table flipping through Dong Yiqiu's book, perhaps waiting for Dong Yiqiu's arrival.As a result, I received a WeChat message during this period, and then Zhang Na rushed in.

Zhang Na still had a badge on her neck: "Have you eaten yet?"

Tang Weiran shook his head, "I don't want to eat."

Zhang Na came here during the lunch break, and she won't be here for long, but she is a warm-hearted person, and she is the only one who knows about Tang Weiran's private affairs and witnessed the farce in the morning with her own eyes, so she is the one who doesn't need to explain the previous situation. A good person who can talk directly.

Tang Weiran's eyes were swollen, which was the trace of crying.

"You, you have a hard mouth and a soft heart." Zhang Na sighed.
