little cloud

After Huoshaoyun opened for business, takeaway orders also came in.Yun Chuan looked at Luo Heng apologetically, and said: 【Sorry, I'll work for a while, I'll entertain you later! 】

Luo Heng was doing evil again: "That won't work, I came first, you have to entertain me first, otherwise I will go to Meituan and give you a bad review."

Yun Chuan could only stare blankly, and took a picture of a sign saying "You can order by yourself" for a while, and then took a picture of "Thank you" for a while, which made Luo Heng laugh.

When going to work in the morning, Huoshaoyun's business has been very good. Seeing more and more takeaway orders and customers coming to the store, Luo Heng calmed down and stopped teasing him. He poured himself a glass of warm water and sat in the corner watching him.

Yun Chuan's spirit is not bad, but his eyes are obviously a little swollen, and the round eyes look bigger.

Luo Heng couldn't help but feel sour when he thought about what Lawyer He said last night that this family lived so hard and hard.

He held his chin and looked at Yun Chuan——

The little boss was changing stickers for the guests with a smile, and received a wave of compliments by the way.

A young man said that the new citrus American is very refreshing and delicious; a little girl said that there is no need to worry about getting repeated stickers here in Huoshaoyun; another lady who looked very elite asked what the canvas bag was. It's time to sell it, saying that only the bag sold by Yunchuan can hold her laptop.

Yun Chuan answered them one by one with a smile.

Luo Heng smiled, lowered his head and drank the warm water in the cup in one gulp.

A hard life has become wonderful under his own efforts, which is not an achievement.

Four and 10 minutes later, Huoshaoyun's morning peak period finally ended.

Luo Heng leaned over to the bar, propped his upper body and looked inside the bar, "What is Citrus Americano? Someone made a new product and refused to drink it for me, I am very angry."

Yun Chuan smiled and typed a few words, 【I'll drink it for you now, I'll drink it for you now. 】

"It's too late." Luo Heng stretched out his index finger and shook it, "I didn't become the first person to taste it, so this matter cannot pass."

【oops! ] Yun Chuan pushed his shoulders, smiled and hammered him, 【Don't make trouble for me! 】

A few minutes later, the citrus Americano was handed to him.

[Try it. 】Yun Chuan propped his chin with both hands, and wrote, 【I feel like you don't like adding other things, I don't know if you like this taste or not. 】

Luo Heng raised his cup and took a big sip.

It is as refreshing as imagined. The sweet and sour citrus dilutes the bitterness of the coffee, but it does not completely cover up the original taste of the espresso. The two different sour flavors are mixed together, and the taste is surprisingly well matched.

He gave Yunchuan a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious."

Yun Chuan nodded with a smile.

【Luo Heng, aren't you going to work? ] Yun Chuan asked worriedly, 【It's past ten o'clock. 】

"..." Luo Heng said in embarrassment, "It stands to reason that I should be on the plane at this time, so I actually asked for leave today."

He looked up at Yun Chuan, and said quickly, "I'm a little worried about you, and I couldn't rest assured, so I came back early."

Yun Chuan opened his mouth in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and typed a few words.

[I heard that you have to go to the airport a long time in advance to prepare for the security check when you fly. Did you go out early today? 】

"Yeah," Luo Heng shrugged, "I got up after five o'clock, and I need some love and encouragement from Boss Yunchuan to cheer myself up."

Yun Chuan quietly turned his head away, pretending not to understand what Luo Heng was saying.

Luo Heng reluctantly chased after him, tilted his head and leaned against the bar, and complained again: "I planned to take you out to play next time I took the plane, but I didn't expect to be preempted by work, really."

This sentence hit Yun Chuan somewhere, and his ears turned red.

Luo Heng laughed, stretched out his hands to twirl his ears, and watched the blush spread outwards on his skin.

He withdrew his hand, sat up, and the teasing expression on his face became serious.

"Yun Chuan, um, I told you to think about it before I left..." Luo Heng asked softly, "How's the thinking going?"

With a shake of Yun Chuan's hand, he let go of the milk frother he was holding in his hand, and the half-fed milk foam spewed out, splashing everywhere in Yun Chuan's flustered movements.

Luo Heng hurried over to help him hold down the milk frother, which prevented the milk foam from spraying further away.

Yun Chuan wanted to cry but had no tears, he was almost dumbfounded by the milk foam.

He bought this milk frother earlier. At that time, there was no function of automatically stopping frother when the lid was opened.Usually nothing, today is considered unlucky.

Luo Heng held back a smile and helped him mop the ground, then stood aside and watched Yun Chuan wipe the cream on his face with a tissue.

However, the face can be wiped clean, and the clothes can only be changed again.

With a sad face, Yun Chuan went to change clothes in the small room at the back.

And the secret feelings that were just spoken were interrupted again.

Luo Heng watched Yun Chuan walk into the small room with clean clothes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He could feel that Yun Chuan still didn't want to accept him.

Luo Heng sat back at the farthest side of the store, sank into the sofa, and his heart was filled with helpless emotions.

He shook his head and told himself not to worry too much, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Yun Chuan did not respond to his feelings, but also acquiesced in his closeness, at least this shows that Yun Chuan does not dislike these things.

All along, Yun Chuan's reason for rejecting him was very clear.After all, he just didn't believe that Luo Heng would always love him.

And the deep-seated reason for this disbelief is probably related to the father who has been missing for many years.

Luo Heng glanced at the small room, and thought about it carefully. Yun Chuan came to open the shop today, and he is not as heartbroken as last night. At least it can show that nothing major happened at home...

It seems that last night's appearance was also because of his missing father.

Luo Heng wanted to mention the MLM that the little policeman mentioned last time.

Yun Chuan is young and may not have a deep impression of the past, but Luo Heng knows it well.More than ten years ago, pyramid schemes were popular in this place, and many people suffered a lot. Afterwards, they were severely punished and the situation improved. However, many people were deceived by "familiar" relatives and friends to pyramid schemes in other places. There are reports.

In addition, among the hooligans last time, the mustache who had been in prison for pyramid schemes obviously knew Yunchuan's family.With such associations before and after, it is difficult for Luo Heng not to think of the possibility in this regard.

How should I tell him...

Luo Heng was hesitating, but the door of Huoshaoyun was pushed open.

Yun Chuan was still changing clothes, he probably felt the vibration of the bracelet and wanted to come out immediately, his movements were a lot louder, and he could feel his anxiety just by hearing his voice.

Luo Heng waited for two seconds, seeing that the little boss hadn't come out yet, he simply stood up and stepped forward to help.

"The boss is changing clothes, come out right away. You can take a look at the menu first, and you can place an order by yourself." Luo Heng, who had an occupational disease, looked at the customer carefully while talking.

He looked a little old, with gray hair, and two or three knife-like wrinkles on his forehead; his back was bent, and his face was also very pale, revealing a sense of depression that hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

Luo Heng took a few more glances - he didn't seem like a customer who would visit this kind of coffee shop, but he didn't make people feel uncomfortable or malicious.

The man heard Luo Heng's words, but he didn't go to the bar to order, but looked around in place, as if he was looking for someone.

"Sir, you...?" Luo Heng stepped forward hesitantly. After what happened last time, he was particularly sensitive to this kind of middle-aged man who is obviously not the target of coffee shop consumption.

The man was taken aback by Luo Heng's sudden approach.He backed up again and again, almost tripping over the viewing potted plant at the gate.

"I, I heard that there is a cafe on this street, the boss, the boss..." The man rubbed his hands awkwardly, and said, "The boss is a deaf-mute, so..."

Luo Heng, who caught the key words, frowned, and his voice was not so polite when he spoke again, "What's the matter?"

The man froze in place stiffly.

Luo Heng was about to open his mouth to drive people away. At this moment, Yun Chuan, who had finally changed his clothes, ran out of the small room in a panic.

As soon as he opened the door, he was about to run towards the bar——

People were stunned.

The middle-aged man also turned his head to look after hearing the voice, his slightly tired eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Yun Chuan.

"Xiao Chuan..." His dry and peeling lips trembled twice, "It's really, really you..."

Another day passed, another failure.

Yun Yun walked on the way home in a daze, her heart full of bitterness.

This trip to Ming City was not fruitless - I don't know whether it should be said that God favored her or punished her, but it actually led her to find Qin Zheng's whereabouts.

According to the clues in the news, she found the place where Qin Zheng had stayed, but after repeated inquiries, she learned that...

That place used to be a pyramid selling stronghold a few years ago. After being reported by someone, it moved out overnight. The police only caught a few marginal people.

The word MLM hit Yunyun like a bolt from the blue.

She was so well protected by Qin Zheng, she had never experienced a woman with a sinister heart, so she couldn't understand the darkness in this world.

She wandered around like a chicken without a head for two days, and under the guidance of the Ming City police, she found the place where Qin Zheng was locked up before.

The police told her that the arrest operation was very thorough that time. Almost all the core personnel of this pyramid scheme were arrested and brought to justice, and those who were tricked in were also sent back to their hometowns.

However, the method of this MLM organization is very violent, and many former victims have become leaders in the organization in the end.There are also some who have suffered from many physical and mental problems due to the long-term hard and soft torture. They can’t remember where their hometown is, and they can’t say their own names. A comparison.

Yun Yun was terrified, she quickly compared with the pyramid scheme leader who was arrested and imprisoned awaiting trial, and she reassured after repeatedly confirming that there was no Qin Zheng's name.

In the next few days, she went to several hospitals one by one according to the information given by the police, but this time, God didn't show any kindness.

She did not find Qin Zheng.

This trip, in the end, returned without success.

After returning home, she finally couldn't bear the guilt and sorrow in her heart anymore, and fell ill.

The strength she had pretended for so many years collapsed after learning that Qin Zheng was tricked into a pyramid scheme.Yunyun blamed herself all day long, she shouldn't have quarreled with him at that time, and she should have given him more trust at that time.

He clearly knew that Qin Zheng did all this for their mother and son.

Yunyun ran to the train station for several days, asking everywhere if anyone had seen Qin Zheng.It's just that there are so many people, it's really hard to find someone.

She waited at the door of the house for a long time, but still did not wait for that familiar figure.

Six years have passed, and the streets around here have changed greatly. Yun Yun was afraid that Qin Zheng would not be able to find his way home, so he decided to go home and ask his son to draw some old maps and paste them.

After so long, she finally had the courage to confess to her son what happened back then.If she had been a little smarter, if she had been a little braver, maybe, maybe everything would have been different...

Yun Yun lingered at the door of the house for a long time, and did not open the door until she confirmed that she looked the same.

As usual, she waited for her son to come out of the bedroom.

Only this time, the one who came out of the bedroom was actually...

The key in Yunyun's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

She squatted down in a daze to pick up the key, and when she touched the bunch of cold metal, tears fell without warning.

Qin Zheng's body staggered, as if every step was very difficult.

But he still came, and he knelt down in front of Yun Yun to help her pick up the keys on the ground.

"...I'm back," he said.
