Cappuccino Rhapsody

Under Qi Xu's strong request, Brother Li still painted the motorcycle with new paint.

The color was chosen by Ling Jiangyuan. It is a combination of black and white. It is a very unremarkable color, but it is low-key and luxurious with connotations.Brother Li did it himself. Although the movements are quick, it will take some time.

The little girl came out with some fruit, sat down next to Ling Jiangyuan eagerly, looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, and asked in embarrassment: "Brother Jiang Yuan, you haven't sung the song you promised me yet."

Ling Jiangyuan subconsciously glanced at Qi Xu.

Qi Xu nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "One song has kept you dreaming for so many years, is it the song or the person you're thinking about?"

The little girl had a dark complexion, and she couldn't tell when she blushed. When she heard this, she just turned her head and hummed, "You have to keep your word. By the way, brother Jiang Yuan, our classmates have been very fond of a girl called Cappuccino’s band, I remember your band was called Cappuccino before. I saw their photo a few days ago, and the masked one is you, right?”

Ling Jiangyuan smiled noncommittally: "I didn't bring a guitar here today, maybe it's a little inconvenient to sing, how about changing it..."

"I have a guitar!" The little girl immediately stood up excitedly, "I'll get it right away!"

Qi Xu's index finger slightly bent, tapped the table lightly, and said: "It seems that you have quite a few fans."

Ling Jiangyuan glared at him: "What does the little girl know?"

"I didn't say that she has other thoughts about you," Qi Xu said meaningfully, "No, Ling Jiangyuan, I find that you are becoming more and more narcissistic now. The little girl is only sixteen or sixteen, and you are seventy or eighty years old. What's going on in your mind?"

Ling Jiangyuan was a little annoyed by his words: "Don't make such jokes with me."

Just as Qi Xu was about to explain, the little girl ran over with the guitar in her arms and handed it to Ling Jiangyuan: "Brother Jiang Yuan, is that okay? I bought it with my own savings, and it may not be better than yours."

"Yes." Ling Jiangyuan said and plucked the strings.

The little girl sat down on the side with great interest, holding her face in her hands and looking at Ling Jiangyuan expectantly.

Not to mention that Ling Jiangyuan was really nervous.

He thought for a while, smiled at the little girl, and started the prelude.

Qi Xu was about to take out his mobile phone to play, but he was stunned when he heard the prelude, and looked up at Ling Jiangyuan, who blinked at him lightly.

Ling Jiangyuan sang the song that Qi Xu gave him.

A slightly deep and hoarse voice rang beside his ears, Qi Xu turned the phone upside down, and looked at him with fixed eyes.

Although this song was sung for a little girl, anyone with eyes could tell that Ling Jiangyuan's gaze had never moved away from Qi Xu's body from beginning to end.The little girl is also a [-]-[-] person, and she still understands this, and she immediately feels like she is a light bulb, and she can't wait to find a place to sneak out.

When Ling Jiangyuan sang to the end, the two were close to sticking together and showing more intimacy.

Finally, the last sound came down, and Ling Jiangyuan and Qi Xu's gazes were glued together, and neither of them moved away first.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The little girl quickly coughed a few times, trying to bring back the emotions of the two.

However nothing works.

Until Brother Li's voice came from not far away: "It's almost there, it needs to be dried, you can pick it up tomorrow."

Ling Jiangyuan came back to his senses and stood up: "Thank you, Brother Li."

"What are you polite about?" Brother Li smiled, "We are all brothers. I also thank you for taking care of my business in the past. Remember to come and play often if you have nothing to do."

Ling Jiangyuan and Qi Xu bid farewell to each other.

The next day Ling Jiangyuan accompanied Qi Xu to pick up his gift. The repainted motorcycle felt like a new one, but when it was started up, it was possible to detect the traces that had been eaten away by the years.

Thinking about it carefully, eight years ago, such a motorcycle was simply the embodiment of speed for Qi Xu, but today, eight years later, I feel that all functions have lagged too far behind.

Although the two drove staggeringly on the road, they could no longer regain the feeling of galloping in the wind, but the feeling of the breeze brought by the reduced speed also rarely made people feel relaxed.

Qi Xu felt that all the things he had worried about for so long had all gone with the wind.

Ling Jiangyuan stretched out his hands, clasped Qi Xu's waist tightly with both hands, and leaned his head gently on his back.

Qi Xu let go of one hand and covered the back of Ling Jiangyuan's hand.

Although the motorcycle was a gift, it was just an emotional sustenance. After all, all the parts and the like were aging, so after Qi Xu drove it back, he just put it there as a souvenir, and he wouldn't actually drive him.He planned to go home when he was free, and park the car in the garage at home, so as not to be exposed to the wind and sun outside, and it would break down faster.

During this period of time, Ling Jiangyuan went to see Jiang Rong very frequently. Occasionally, Qi Xu would accompany him, but most of the time he went alone.

After New Year's Day, Qi Xu started to get busy again, and Ling Jiangyuan took time to go to a nursing home.

The first thing he did after he entered was not to look for Jiang Rong, but to see Ling Ziyuan.

The place where Ling Ziyuan is located is in the most remote corner of the nursing home, but the environment and facilities are quite good. At least Ling Ziyuan lives in a room of [-] to [-] square meters, which is more than enough.

The nurse who took him stopped in front of the door and said, "Mr. Ling, try to keep your voice as low as possible when you go in. Mr. Xiao Ling's temper... has not been very good these days."

Ling Jiangyuan thanked him, pushed the door open and entered.

Jiang Rong is knitting a sweater, she looks very clumsy, she is not very good at this kind of technique, even Jiang Rong spent a lot of effort on the amulet a long time ago, and the result is not satisfactory, Crooked.

After living in a nursing home these years, Jiang Rong has the leisure to learn the work at hand.

Hearing the movement, she turned her head and took a look, her eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Xiao Yuan, you are here."

"Yeah." Ling Jiangyuan put down the bone broth he prepared in his hand and asked, "You're in a good mood today?"

"Yeah." Jiang Rong nodded quickly, then held up the sweater in her hand to show Ling Jiangyuan, and said, "Look, this is the scarf I knitted for you, and it's already half done, and it's the coldest time in winter , you can just wear it!"

Ling Jiangyuan pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and gently touched the scarf, lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.

"I remember you like light blue the most, do you like it?" Jiang Rong looked at him with shining eyes.

"...I like it." Ling Jiangyuan smiled.In fact, light blue was already his favorite color before he was ten years old.

"As long as you like it." Jiang Rong turned around and continued knitting earnestly. Ling Jiangyuan started to tidy up the house without disturbing her.

The two had a meal together at noon, Jiang Rong decided to lie down on the bed and take a nap, Ling Jiangyuan played quietly in the living room for a while, and then planned to leave.There is still work in school in the afternoon.

He tiptoed into the bedroom, Jiang Rong was fast asleep.

Ling Jiangyuan pulled Jiang Rong's falling hair behind her ears, lowered her eyes and sighed.

Because Jiang Rong couldn't hear it, he dared to say things that he didn't usually dare to say.

"I went to see Ling Ziyuan..." Ling Jiangyuan's voice was very low, "His physical condition is very bad, almost beyond the reach of recovery, he said he didn't want to suffer in the hospital, so he spent the last part of his life here. Sometimes I think, what would have happened if I hadn't gone back to Ling's house with you..."

Ling Jiangyuan smiled softly: "Maybe everything is different. But I really can't think of the ending. After all, you can't make other choices."

Jiang Rong lay on the bed, frowning slightly, as if she was having a nightmare.

"Ling Du is married again." Ling Jiangyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of sarcasm, "And gave birth to a child, a boy. But that's okay, one of the two sons is not in good health, and the other doesn't want to inherit his family at all. Karma, should have a new child."

"Mom." Ling Jiangyuan sighed heavily, "I won't give up this time, I will definitely work very hard to hold onto Qi Xu..."

There was an inexplicable light in Ling Jiangyuan's eyes: "Because this time, no one can threaten me again."

He tucked the corner of the quilt for Jiang Rong and stood up: "I'm leaving. I'll see you another day."

Jiang Rong is still dreaming, she doesn't know what Ling Jiangyuan said, and I'm afraid she doesn't want to know.

After coming out of the nursing home, Qi Xu called, and his voice even sounded a bit coquettish: "I want to eat hot pot tonight."

"Hotpot?" Ling Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows, "Which one?"

"From the Ling family." Qi Xu said, "I want to eat what you made, okay?"

Ling Jiangyuan was a little helpless: "It's almost six o'clock, and it's probably eight o'clock when you get ready to eat. Don't you starve to death?"

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being hungry." Qi Xu said, "Let's eat."

"...All right." Ling Jiangyuan looked at the time, "Then you wash out the pot at home first, and I'll go to the supermarket."

"I'll be with you." Qi Xu said, "I'm on my way to the nursing home, you wait for me at the door for a few minutes, I'll be there soon. Let's go to the supermarket together."

Ling Jiangyuan said "hmm", and waited at the door for about 5 minutes before Qi Xu arrived.

Ling Jiangyuan sat down on the co-pilot, Qi Xu turned sideways and pulled the seat belt.His sight suddenly fell out of the window.

"What's wrong?" Ling Jiangyuan scratched the other party's chin and asked.

"...Then who," Qi Xu paused, "the one also surnamed Ling is staring at you over there."

Ling Jiangyuan froze for a moment, then turned his head to look.Ling Ziyuan was sitting in a wheelchair in a corner not far from the door, staring in his direction without blinking.

He shuddered inexplicably, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Qi Xu gave a "hmm", raised his hand to give Ling Ziyuan a middle finger, and stepped on the gas pedal.

After driving for about a kilometer, Qi Xu said, "Why do I feel that this scene seems familiar... But it makes me think that I can't think of anything."

Ling Jiangyuan glanced at him: "Maybe I have dreamed about it when I was dreaming."

"Perhaps." Qi Xu nodded.
