Cappuccino Rhapsody

Qi Xu could tell that Ling Jiangyuan was in a bad mood - he could also guess that something happened at home, otherwise how could he come back early.

But Qi Xu didn't know what was going on, and Ling Jiang Yuan obviously didn't plan to say anything.

Qi Xu even tentatively asked Xie Congjia about Ling Jiangyuan, but Xie Congjia knew some very one-sided things—Ling Jiangyuan seemed to wrap himself tightly, with a hard shell outside, which no one could break open , can't get in.

Qi Xu really wanted to get a key to get in.

He stood at the door for a long time, but there was no reaction from inside.

Qi Xu sighed, and planned to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles - this time I won't cook instant noodles, if I'm in a bad mood, I should eat something slightly better.

In 2011, takeaway hadn’t even started yet, so Qi Xu could only rack his brains to search for some noodle cooking processes on the Internet, but in the end he still made a mess of the kitchen, and finally got out two bowls of noodles, which didn’t look good. great.

Qi Xu went to knock on the door, and Ling Jiangyuan's voice sounded inside: "Is there something wrong?"

"Eat." Qi Xu knocked on the door with chopsticks, and said, "You have to eat even if you are in a bad mood."

After a while Ling Jiangyuan opened the door and came out, smiled and said, "You can tell I'm in a bad mood?"

"Nonsense," Qi Xu pointed to his forehead, "There are two big characters written on your head—"

"what?"

"Very, annoying." After Qi Xu finished speaking, he handed the noodles into Ling Jiangyuan's hand, and said, "You also know that I don't know how to do this, so don't tell me if it tastes bad."

Ling Jiangyuan rubbed Qi Xu's head: "Thank you."

"Well, let's eat."

The light was on in the living room, and the kitchen was in a mess. Ling Jiangyuan just glanced at it and became helpless: "Are you planning to wait for me to clean it up?"

"I'll collect it when I'm done eating," Qi Xu said, "I don't need you."

"It's better like this." Ling Jiangyuan took a sip, and unexpectedly found that the taste was not too bad, and his hungry stomach felt better instantly.

The two finished their meal in silence, Qi Xu watched Ling Jiangyuan's back as he entered the room, packed up the dishes, and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After a while he heard Ling Jiangyuan coming out of the bedroom, and when he poked his head out of the kitchen, Ling Jiangyuan had already gone in again.

Qi Xu took out the garbage from the kitchen and was about to throw it into the trash can when he saw a red string inside.

Qi Xu picked out the red rope from the trash can, and found that what Ling Jiangyuan threw away was an amulet.

The red silk cloth is embroidered with the three big characters "Chongshan Temple". Qi Xu knows this place, his mother took him there when he was a child, to pray for safety.Qi Xu thought for a while, put the amulet in his pocket, the trash filled the trash can, tied it up and went downstairs to throw the trash.

When Qi Xu came home, he bumped into Ling Jiangyuan who was changing his shoes.

"You want to go out?" Qi Xu looked at him.

"...Trash can," Ling Jiangyuan took a breath, seeming a little anxious, "Did you throw away the garbage in it?"

"Well, I just lost it." Qi Xu looked at him strangely.

Ling Jiangyuan quickly changed his shoes, turned around and was about to run downstairs, Qi Xu stopped him and said, "Ling Jiangyuan, are you looking for this?"

He stretched out his hand, and placed the amulet wrapped in a red rope in his palm, and the words embroidered with gold thread on it were exceptionally clear.

Ling Jiangyuan's tense body suddenly relaxed, he exhaled foul breath, glanced at Qi Xu, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Qi Xu returned the amulet to him, "Who gave you this?"

"..." Ling Jiangyuan paused, as if hesitating whether to say it, but finally said, "My mother."

"Oh." Qi Xu nodded, "My mother also took me to Chongshan Temple when I was a child, and begged for the same amulet for me to keep me safe."

"Well, I know." Ling Jiangyuan put the amulet into his pocket.

"This one works only if you wear it," Qi Xu said, "I lost mine later. I went there with my mother at the time, and there was no embroidery on my amulet, because the words had to be embroidered on by myself, which made it easier There is sincerity, but my mother can’t, so she said that she would embroider for me after learning, but I accidentally lost it once.”

Ling Jiangyuan tightened his hand holding the amulet, lowered his eyes, suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and said nothing.

Qi Xu said again: "My mother said that she would take me to ask for another one if she had a chance, but my mother left not long after that."

"Qi Xu..." Ling Jiangyuan raised his head and looked at him fixedly.

Ling Jiangyuan knew about Qi Xu's affairs very well, but he didn't expect Qi Xu to talk about his mother like a family chatter.

He thought this would be an unmentionable wound in Qi Xu's heart.

"Don't look at me like that," Qi Xu said with a smile, "Hey, my mother has been gone for so many years, no matter how sad she was back then, it's gone now."

"……Um."

"But it's you," Qi Xu said, "Since Auntie asked you for this peace talisman, she must hope that you are safe. Keep it safe."

"...I know." Ling Jiangyuan sighed, "Thank you."

"Although I don't know why you threw it," Qi Xu said, "but don't throw it anymore."

Ling Jiangyuan patted his head: "OK."

Ling Jiangyuan sat on the bed for a long time.

It was so long that he could hear Qi Xu outside taking a shower, drying his hair, smoking a cigarette, writing a few words, and pressing the light switch, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

The world returned to silence again, Ling Jiangyuan finally stood up and walked to the window.

There are only neon lights flashing up and down outside, all the shops on the street have been closed, looking from a distance, there seems to be a faint figure of people not far away, a very small one, quickly submerged in a In the dark.

The night is already deep.

Ling Jiangyuan looked at the small amulet on his palm.

In fact, Jiang Rong doesn't know how to embroider these things. When he was a child, his clothes with holes were even sewn on crookedly by himself.It can be seen that the six characters "Chongshan Temple" and "Lingjiangyuan" on this amulet are also embroidered a bit crookedly.

Jiang Rong didn't know how long it took to learn it.

Ling Jiangyuan looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed in resignation, and hung it around his neck.

For the remaining few days of the holiday, Ling Jiangyuan and Qi Xu spent the whole time soaking in cappuccino.

Because it was a holiday, the cappuccino was extraordinarily lively, and at night it could almost shake up the whole street, especially when the cappuccino came on stage, the atmosphere of the audience would definitely reach its peak.

And Qi Xu's new song has been continuously flowing out of the rhythm of cappuccino during this period of time.

Qi Xu received his first dividend, a total of 3000 yuan.

His face was calm, but behind his back, his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.

Ling Jiangyuan patted him on the head: "Laugh if you want to laugh, what are you holding back?"

Qi Xu couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm rich."

"Fortune," Ling Jiangyuan asked him, "What are you going to do with this money?"

"I'm going to repair my motorcycle." Qi Xu said, "I've wanted to repair it for a long time." Although Qi Xiong's hammer didn't knock the motorcycle completely off last time, it always made an annoying roar when it was driving , Qi Xu has long been impatient.He went to the car repair shop before, and the repair was not too much, just [-].

"When are you going?" Ling Jiangyuan asked him, "Today?"

"En." Qi Xu said, "Three thousand."

"Three thousand?" Ling Jiangyuan frowned, "You've been tricked. Wait a minute, I'll take you to a shop near our school when the scene is over. The technology is pretty good, and I can even give you a discount."

Of course it would be good to save some money, Qi Xu nodded immediately.

The house Ling Jiangyuan mentioned was about one kilometer outside the school, and there were many motorcycles and bicycles parked inside. As soon as Ling Jiangyuan called out "Brother Li", a man in black and not slick came from behind the motorcycle. He got out and laughed when he saw Ling Jiangyuan: "Hey! Xiao Ling is here?"

"Yeah." Ling Jiangyuan patted Qi Xu's mount, "My nephew's car, help me see how well it's been repaired."

"You already have nephews?" Brother Li stepped forward and glanced at Qi Xu, "You're still this old?"

"A distant relative." Ling Jiangyuan explained, "Kids like to play with cars."

Standing aside, Qi Xu was actually quite unhappy. He didn't feel anything when he didn't feel that he liked Ling Jiangyuan before, but now he is planning to chase Ling Jiangyuan, and the other party still treats him as a nephew, of course he is not happy.

But Qi Xu didn't say anything.

Brother Li took a look and said, "It's simple, just change a few screws, three hundred."

"Three hundred?" Qi Xu swallowed.

"Let me tell you?" Ling Jiangyuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "How do you plan to repay me for saving you so much money?"

Brother Li said with a smile: "You can go and ask other people's house to be cheated. This looks complicated. The whole car needs to be dismantled, but there are no parts to replace, so there is no cost. It all depends on technology. If Xiaoling does it himself I won't charge any money, but you are his nephew, and you live far away, so please charge more."

Ling Jiangyuan stood aside and laughed until Qi Xu was speechless: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you stupid." Ling Jiangyuan said, "Don't charge for it, what's the relationship between us? You still charge for it?"

Brother Li was also quite forthright: "Success, you can sing a song for my daughter alone tomorrow."

Ling Jiangyuan nodded.

On the contrary, Qi Xu became more energetic: "Then how can I sell art? If I want to sell it, I will sell it, so let's take money. Ling Jiangyuan's song is more than three hundred."

Ling Jiangyuan laughed again: "That's fine, then you can act for the little girl, do you think the little girl wants you?"

"Won't she be happy that I'm so handsome?"

"I don't like it!" Not far away, a pretty dark girl poked her head out of the room, blinked her big bright eyes, and said, "I just like to listen to brother Ling, and I'll charge you three thousand dollars." Everyone is happy to listen!"

"Hey..." Ling Jiangyuan paused, then smiled again, "It's three thousand."

The word "three thousand" was deliberately accentuated by him.

Qi Xu wanted to compete again, but for some reason, he twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed. The two smiled at each other for a long time before Brother Li said, "What are you two smirking about..."

"Three thousand laughs." After Ling Jiangyuan finished speaking, the smile that had been so hard to stop spread again.
