Cappuccino Rhapsody

Ling Jiangyuan was slapped hard on the shoulder, and he woke up suddenly, only to realize that he was rehearsing.

His mental state has not been very good these days, and he often forgets that he is doing it when he is doing one thing.

Xie Congjia put a hand on his shoulder and said, "What's going on with you these days."

"Huh?" Ling Jiangyuan put the drum on the drum and rubbed his temples, "It's okay if you don't rest."

"There are a lot of things going on at school recently?"

Ling Jiangyuan lowered his eyes slightly, and gave a soft "hmm".Xie Congjia didn't think too much about it, and said, "Bai Ying said he would be here at ten o'clock, but it's almost eleven o'clock and he hasn't seen anyone yet."

Liu Jiajia jumped off the platform and landed heavily on the ground: "Miss Bai, don't you know that what she said is ten o'clock in the morning, it could be ten o'clock in the evening."

"Which bastard spoke ill of me?!"

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful girl in a leather jacket strode in from the door, holding a pocket with the KFC logo in her hand, and the fragrance was overflowing, immediately permeating the airtight basement.Bai Ying shook the bag in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said, "Whoever says anything bad about me, stand up and don't eat it."

"I was wrong, my sister!" Liu Jiajia put her hands together and begged for mercy, "You are not the kind of person who is late, you are always early."

"You're the one with a sweet mouth." Bai Ying smiled, handed out the bag in her hand to Ji Ya who was behind her, and said, "Yaya, share it for me."

"Jiya didn't go to work today." Xie Congjia also jumped off the table to help share the food, "I haven't been here to look at you much recently."

"Oh, I plan to go abroad to study in graduate school," Ji Ya smiled, "so I have been preparing materials for going abroad during this time."

"Another one going abroad." Liu Jiajia sighed sadly, "It seems that our cappuccinos will be gone sooner or later."

Ji Ya said: "I'm not your cappuccino, what are you talking about, as long as you don't go abroad, it will be fine."

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Jiajia murmured, "Education, the more you study, the better. Maybe some people want to continue studying. After all, it's not like this happened before."

Ling Jiangyuan took the things in Ji Ya's hand and didn't speak.

Xie Congjia kicked him: "Don't say a few words, you are the only one who talks too much. Sister Renbai didn't even say that she has plans to study abroad. Can anyone have a higher education than her?"

"It's possible." Bai Ying raised her eyebrows with a smile, "Although the female doctor is the third type of human being, being the third type of human being is quite special, and I quite like it."

"No way." Liu Jiajia looked at her in shock, "You really want to go abroad? Then what will we, Lao Ling, do if you go abroad?"

Bai Ying glanced at Ling Jiangyuan: "What's the matter with him?"

"Yes." Ling Jiangyuan also nodded with a smile, "What does Bai Ying's going abroad have to do with me?"

"Don't pretend, don't pretend." Liu Jiajia rubbed her hands, "Don't think that I can't see the crooked thoughts between the two of you, I'm afraid the flirtatious flirting is only a layer of window paper."

Only then did Ling Jiangyuan come to his senses, and just as he was about to deny it with a smile, he saw Bai Ying waved his hand in a big reaction this time, and said, "I have someone I like, don't make jokes." She said and glanced at Ji Ya, looking for someone to testify, "Really, Ji Ya?"

Ji Ya bit the chicken leg and nodded.

This is quite strange, because the relationship between Ling Jiangyuan and Bai Ying is indeed very good. In the past, when the team made jokes about them, Bai Ying always smiled and said nothing. Could it be that there is someone he really likes this time?

But Liu Jiajia didn't take it seriously, and just smiled twice: "Isn't Ling Jiangyuan the one you like, everyone can tell."

Bai Ying stopped talking, just looked at Ling Jiangyuan and smiled.

The chicken legs in KFC were devoured, and there were bones all over the place. Ji Ya packed up everything, and the band returned to the stage. Ji Ya looked around and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?" , why haven't you seen that kid Qi Xu in the past two days?"

"That's right." Xie Congjia also looked at Ling Jiangyuan, "Where's Qi Xu?"

"I only know that there is something wrong with his family, but I really don't know where it is now." Ling Jiangyuan shook his head.When he called last time, the place where Qi Roujun answered the phone was obviously not at home, and Ling Jiangyuan guessed which hospital it should be in.

And from that day until now, Qi Xu has never contacted him.

Liu Jiajia turned "tsk" and said, "He likes to hang around you so much, why don't you know where he went?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Ling Jiangyuan lowered his head, tapped the drum with the drum stick in his hand, and said, "Practice."

When Ling Jiangyuan went home and opened the door, he was in a trance for a moment.

During this time, he seemed to have gotten quite used to having a light on when he came back at night, in the living room, or in the bedroom.Someone stood or sat there, raised his head slightly when he heard the movement, and said, Ling Jiangyuan, you are back.

He even missed the way Qi Xu washed his face and brushed his teeth in the morning with his bare upper body, he missed the way he hummed a song with foam in his mouth, and even more missed the way he sat under the stage and focused on himself.

It seems that there is no world in his eyes, but only one him.

Ling Jiangyuan stood under the shower, his hair was drenched by the warm water, and suddenly he remembered the way Qi Xu told him that he liked it, wishing he could hold the whole world in his hands and give it to him.

Ling Jiangyuan wiped his half-dry hair with a towel, sat on the balcony with the cold wind blowing, turned on and off the mobile phone in his hand, and finally stayed silently on the interface for sending messages to Qi Xu.

The last message between the two was the night before, when Qi Xu said, "I'll pick you up from school tonight."

Ling Jiangyuan entered and deleted countless times, and finally leaned back silently and closed his eyes.

He still has no courage, and seems to have become accustomed to cowardice.It is difficult to escape from one's comfort zone and comfort zone.

Ling Jiangyuan has a fever.

Blowing the cold wind on the balcony before drying his hair, he accidentally fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already three o'clock in the morning. His whole body was cold, but his face was hot when he touched it.Ling Jiangyuan swallowed a fever-reducing medicine in one gulp, then curled up in the bed, half asleep and half awake, and fell asleep in a daze.

I woke up once in the middle, but the headache was so bad that I fell asleep quickly.

The picture in the dream was clear, so clear that it couldn't be clearer, it was deeply engraved in his bones like a knife and an axe.

When he was eight years old, Ling Jiangyuan stood outside the window of the only newly opened KFC in S city, looked at the ice cream inside seriously, and swallowed his saliva countless times.Every time after school, he always waits here for his mother to pick him up. It will always be eight o'clock in the evening. He counted that in just three hours, there are more than ten children buying this ice cream when there are many, and there are only three when there are few.

One night, he waited here for a long time, until there were no customers in KFC, and he was still waiting.

His mother hurried over with broken high-heeled shoes, hugged him and cried at the door, with scratches on his face.

He called "Mom" timidly. Jiang Rong, wearing high heels with broken heels, hugged him tightly, then lifted him up high, looked in from the window, and asked him gently: "Jiang Yuan wants to eat?" That ice cream, right?"

Xiaoling Jiang Yuan swallowed, but shook his head silently.

"I want to eat." Jiang Rong patted his head, "Mom knows. Jiang Yuan is waiting for mother here."

She put Xiao Ling Jiangyuan outside, and walked in with her worn-out leather bag.

Little Ling Jiangyuan leaned against the window, raised his head slightly, and saw his mother not far away took out a crumpled ten yuan bill from the purse and handed it out, in exchange for an ice cream he had always dreamed of.

Jiang Rong asked him, "Is it sweet?"

He smiled happily, and Jiang Rong laughed too, and then cried while smiling, and said softly: "Jiang Yuan, from now on, our life must be as sweet as this every day, okay?"

Ling Jiangyuan woke up suddenly.

The clock hanging on the wall in the distance is still ticking forward, the clock points to eight, Ling Jiangyuan's whole body is sore and weak, he finally sits up and looks at his phone, it turns out that it is already eight o'clock in the evening.He touched his head, and the fever had subsided.

Ling Jiangyuan chuckled twice, which was considered a fate.

The phone rang, and Ling Jiangyuan pressed the speakerphone.

"Jiang Yuan, where are you?" Xie Congjia said, "Li Lang said you didn't go to rehearsal today? Didn't you make an appointment with him? He said that no one answered your phone call."

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Ling Jiangyuan said, "I'm sleeping at home. Come back tomorrow."

"Oh." Xie Congjia said, "That's fine, you have a good rest."

Ling Jiangyuan hung up the phone and fell asleep again until the doorbell rang—and it had obviously been ringing for a long time.

Ling Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly lifted the quilt, he thought it was Qi Xu, but the moment he stood up, he realized that Qi Xu had the key - the person who came should not be Qi Xu.

There is an indescribable sense of loss in my heart.Ling Jiangyuan squeezed his brows and opened the door. The person standing outside the door was Li Lang.

He raised his head and looked at him: "Is he not dead?"

"Hmm." Ling Jiangyuan smiled wryly, "Why are you here?"

Li Lang said indifferently: "Xie Congjia accompanied his wife, Liu Jiajia made love to girls, only I have time to come." He put the porridge in his hand on the table, "I just bought it, it's not cold yet, drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you." Ling Jiangyuan said while pinching his forehead.

Li Lang opened the lid and asked, "Qi Xu isn't here?"

Ling Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment: "Why is he here?"

"Doesn't he like you?" Li Lang said in a very flat voice.

Ling Jiangyuan was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the shoe rack, swallowed, and pretended to be calm: "...What are you talking about?"

"He likes you." Li Lang said calmly, "You also like him quite a bit, I thought you were planning to fall in love."

Ling Jiangyuan: "..."

Faced with Li Lang's noncommittal way of talking, Ling Jiangyuan didn't know how to continue the chat for a while.

Ling Jiangyuan was silent for a long time before saying: "I won't fall in love with him."
