coffee love

"SOLIS"

Hua Yunche simply followed his idea of ​​the name given by the shop owner.

turn off the phone.

For afternoon tea on Monday, the two agreed to have a meeting in a popular casual tea restaurant to discuss. Hua Yunche arrived as scheduled, dressed as usual and elegant.Dark blue jeans are paired with a creamy white cardigan, and a beige V-neck sweater is added, which looks extraordinarily elegant.

He is well-proportioned, and he wears a wine-red necklace around his neck, boldly adding a bit of coquettishness to the original elegant attire.

Xue Mingsui was in a good mood.

As soon as Hua Yunche arrived, he ordered a cup of fruit parfait, then took out the folder, and spread out the manuscript paper, on which were densely marked the values ​​of each space in the facade and his own design.

The storefront can adopt a simple and bright style, excavate walls, roofs, passages, etc., and use a properly divided virtual and real style to decorate it into a storefront that is quiet in movement and dynamic in stillness.The whole is generous, but the parts are meticulous, and the main colors can be white and green...

Xue Mingsui nodded and smiled, and questioned, "It is indeed unique compared to the hazy light and shadow style of ordinary cafes, but the use of cool tones, isn't it against your IQ and studies?"

Hua Yunche was stunned for a moment, before his momentum suddenly weakened: "I thought you would like this style."

"...that cannot ignore our original starting point and the positioning of the cafe."

In the next hour or so, the situation for the two people to come out of the parliament was established.Basically, it takes less than half an hour to talk about the construction of this cafe, and then it starts to branch out.

It is usually driven by Hua Yunche - from the familiar topic of baking, to what I have seen in the summer vacation, the recent situation, to gossip news, animation novels, fashion matching, and finally to clothes, bags...etc. on the topic.

Usually Hua Yunche said, Xue Mingsui listened, and occasionally made a few comments, often just a few words were able to calm down the former's farther and farther topic.

Even so, Xue Mingsui was not at all unhappy.

It's coming to the weekend soon.

After several discussions, the cafe decided on the original overall style and slightly modified it—adding a hazy feeling to the layout, and changing the color tone to a warm tone of yellow and white.

Then the renovation started.

The two came to the alley, first cleaned the dirty and greasy house, and then invited the master workers to come in and let them add bricks, paint and open windows; they swept away some dining furniture online and in physical stores, and bought them inside.In the tacit cooperation, the cafe basically took shape within a month.

It was only then that Xue Mingsui discovered that this alley was just a small branch, and there was another big alley around it called "Zhaixing Alley".The alley is quiet and elegant, and there are a lot of closed stores, which are being transferred one after another. After improvement, they will have a new look in the near future.The two kept going in and out to buy equipment, and found that this place was actually very interesting, artistic and creative.From Zhaixing Lane, you can take a shortcut back to SOLIS.

November passed by in a hurry, the weather was getting colder, and the wind was whistling outside the window.On a warm sunny afternoon after the cafe took shape, the two settled down.

Hua Yunche was wrapped in a sweater and sat in front of the computer at the bar, fiddling with the newly formed store LOGO in front of the AI ​​software.It seems that it has been a long time since he took a nap. He always likes to take a nap, but he has been busy recently.It was a rare leisurely and warm afternoon, Hua Yunche planned to take a nap.

After saving the file and turning the AI ​​into a small window, Hua Yunche rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, then threw himself on the bar counter.

A hazy drowsiness came over him, and Hua Yunche quickly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Yunche felt a small movement in the storage room behind the bar.Although it was winter, I felt very warm on my body. After taking a nap, my body was not so tired, and my thoughts gradually became clearer.

Blinking his eyes, he suddenly felt a little heavy on his body.Turning his head to look, he found that there was an extra woolen coat on his back, and the owner of the coat was tinkering with it in the storage room.

A burst of strong coffee aroma and soft milk aroma came.Smell it carefully, and there is also a little fresh cinnamon fragrance.Hua Yunche rarely drank coffee, but he knew what that man was doing - a cup of fancy espresso was about to be finished.He simply threw himself on the table again, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the aftertaste of his afternoon nap amidst the rich fragrance.

He only heard the sound of ceramics and tiles colliding in his ears, the broken hair on his forehead was stroked, and there was movement around him, but Hua Yunche's eyes, which he wanted to open, closed tightly, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"You're awake, why don't you open your eyes?"

Hua Yunche opened his eyes.A porcelain plate and a bright yellow wide-mouth coffee cup come into view, covered with a layer of dense milk foam, and cocoa powder depicting beautiful flower patterns.

"Is this...a latte?"

"No, it's a cappuccino—I'm sure you'll like it."

Hua Yunche picked up the cup and took a small peck, the sweet and luscious milk fragrance overflowed his mouth, followed by a strong bitterness, and slowly, the milk fragrance dissipated, and a little sour taste overflowed from the bitterness, leaving the mellow taste in the mouth. into the taste buds.

Hua Yunche said with a smile, "I like it very much."

"We were doing LOGO just now? How is it doing? Show me."

"It has been formed, but some details are still missing."

Hua Yunche called up the AI, and suddenly felt that the person behind him was approaching him, and leaned over to get closer.

"Here." Xue Mingxi held his hand, the palm slightly bigger than his was warmly pressed against the back of Hua Yunche's hand, and uttered warm words that brushed his earlobe, "Although it is very atmospheric, but the lack of It has the ambiguous atmosphere of a coffee shop."

Hua Yunche suddenly didn't feel well.

Physical contact gave him an innate sense of resistance.

"Mr. future store manager, don't force others to be difficult. How can a font show an ambiguous atmosphere?"

"Here, the hook line is not handled well; it's okay from a distance, but close up..."

Xue Mingsui restrained his waist.

Hua Yunche twisted his waist nervously, trying to avoid the touch, but the people behind him were getting more and more aggressive, as if they were trying to stop him from moving.

There was a chuckle from the person behind, "Probably because you haven't experienced it yourself, so you don't have a clue..."

too close...!

"Xue Mingsui, let me go." Hua Yunche frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction clearly.

After knowing each other for more than two years, from rival to friend, Xue Mingsui fell in love with him at some point, but he maintained an ambiguous attitude and allowed Xue Mingsui to have a deep friendship with him.

However, if this goes on now...

Xue Mingsui obviously ignored his protest, and his idle hand suddenly rubbed into his clothes.

!

Hua Yunche trembled, and his body reacted immediately, standing up abruptly and throwing him away.

With an angry face on his face, "Xue Mingsui, what are you doing?!"

"Yunche..."

"I think I don't need to declare anymore," Hua Yunche looked at him coldly, revealing a trace of winter chill, "Let's clarify everything that needs to be clarified today. As I said, I'm straight. You Give up, I don't care what you do to others, but to me... please stop."

"If we can let it go, we will continue to cooperate. If we can't let it go, we will separate."

Xue Mingsui looked at him.

"Since you have no intention of this relationship, why do you play tricks in front of me on weekdays?"

Hua Yunche didn't answer.

There was nothing to say for a while, and after a while, Hua Yunche finally broke the silence, "If that's all you want to say, then I'm tired today too, and I'm going back to the apartment to rest. You can do what you want."

"I send you……"

"Need not."

After finishing speaking, he turned off the computer, packed his things neatly, and walked out of the cafe.The figure turned a corner, exited the alley, and disappeared.

Xue Mingsui sat alone in that person's seat.

The seat still had the residual warmth of that person, and the carved and hollowed-out light box above his head cast a beam of warm light, which dappledly shone on his face.Looking at the newly formed cafe, there is still the figure of that person.In fact, the waves are not absent, but hidden at the bottom, and will surface one day, unable to stop unexpected changes.

Xue Mingsui turned on the speaker, tuned up a quiet piece of music, let time go by, and let himself go.

The dripping water drops tonight remind me of autumn

Look forward to the rain and never forget the hasty love

But even I am indifferent

My heart aches at these moments

The distant tone flows from the speaker, the sweetness of the cappuccino is bitter, and the constant waiting will eventually melt with the layer of soft milk foam.
