coffee love

Chapter 9

Holidays are a great time to travel.Hua Yunche was no exception, she immediately asked for leave and went back to school, saying that she was going on a trip with her classmates.

For a while, only Xue Mingsui was left in charge of the store, but since the business opportunities resumed, An Qianjing didn't come to provoke them anymore, so it's no big deal.

Several storefronts in Zhaixing Lane are booming, and the people who open the shops are just like the shops, they can be described as diverse and strange.An old man who was nearly sixty years old opened a flower shop, which only sold fake flowers and not real flowers, but the business was surprisingly good; two girls with ponytails opened a takoyaki shop, the strange thing is that the same octopus It is said that some of them are delicious in the world, while others are dark dishes, it all depends on their mood; a young designer who has no ambitions in his career opened a small clothing store, where he cooks every day. There is only one piece of each type of clothes that I like, and the price is extremely expensive when put out, and the strange thing is that there are always people cheering.

Shu Qiao returned to the state of coming to SOLIS occasionally. He was busy with comic work every day, and disappeared without a trace after a certain period of time.However, his cycle is easy to find out, maybe he completed a list, or maybe he completed this month's serialization progress, and he came to SOLIS with a new look.That look seemed to be purified, and he began to enjoy a new comfortable life.

On the second day of New Year's Day, Shu Qiao sat down on the high chair in front of the bar.

Xue Mingsui picked up the cup and said, "The last time you said you asked me to 'go out', did you mean the WSC?"

Shu Qiao looked up at him, "That's right...can I order first?"

"Of course. Is it still Irish coffee today?"

Shu Qiao opened the book she brought, "It's up to you."

The book he brought today was different from the last one.But the thickness is still the same.

Xue Mingsui mixed a cup of "Irish Mist" which was slightly different from Irish coffee, glanced at the book, and couldn't help saying, "Why do you like reading this kind of women's books so much?"

"Where are the women? It's not about love and hate, but about the beauty of human nature. I think it's good."

"Jane Eyre's style is more rational and gentle, but Wuthering Heights is very extreme. Let me guess which one do you like better? Jane Eyre?"

"No." Shu Qiao chuckled, "Although Jane Eyre is good, it is an idealized reality. Wuthering Heights is very passionate and pure."

Finish a drink.

Shu asked quietly, "Aren't you going home on vacation?"

"No. My hometown is far away from here, and the high-speed rail will take a day." Xue Mingsui asked, "Can you tell me about WSC?"

"It's okay if you want to know." Shu Qiao put down the cup, "WSC holds competitions in different divisions every year. Of course, this is worldwide, and players from different countries will come to compete. The finals will be held in Japan in September." This can be said to be the pinnacle of the coffee world..."

"I know that," Xue Mingsui said, "I want to know something about you."

Shu was silent.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Xue Mingsui gave up, there will be plenty of time in the future.

"Yeah." Shu picked up the cup quietly, only to realize that the coffee had been exhausted, "Manager, can I have a refill?"

The New Year's Day holiday passed quickly.

Hua Yunche returned to Zhaixing Lane, and was surprised to find that the alley had changed a bit.There are more and more tourists, and different shops also show different vitality.He decided to explore this alley, and curiously ate all the snacks in every shop, and finally came to a conclusion when he came back: "The desserts of Si Chao are delicious, and the store manager is also good."

Xue Mingsui said, "Have you taken a fancy to him?"

"No, I'm just talking about it. Girls have pretty hair too."

"Not in the right mind!"

Xue Mingsui shook his head helplessly.

Hua Yunche ran out again, during which time he also met those girls with twin tails selling takoyaki. It is said that every time he got something delicious.But what gave him goosebumps was hearing that the two girls were a couple.

Taking advantage of these days, Xue Mingsui began to study professional knowledge.He picked up a stack of related books on the bar counter, and contacted a senior who was familiar with him, asking him to help him improve his coffee skills.

The senior knew Xue Mingsui's temperament and helped him improve his traditional coffee skills.Especially the mastery of espresso, well-made espresso is equivalent to laying a solid foundation, providing an effective way for the study of fancy coffee, so that fancy coffee has a full taste.Xue Mingsui's production will become more comfortable.

"By the way, senior, you have participated in WSC."

"Oh? When did you become interested in this?" The senior looked at him with great interest.

"It's nothing, just asking." Xue Mingsui thought for a while, "Do you know Shu Qiao?"

"I don't know," the senior thought, "It seems that there was a record of his appearance in the past, but there has been no rumors in the past few years."

Xue Mingsui was suspicious.

Hua Yunche said, "You've been staying in SOLIS for longer and longer recently, and you seldom go back to school."

Xue Mingsui did not deny it.

He focused on SOLIS, and did not balance the relationship between studies and entrepreneurship. Over time, he became a little hesitant.

"Bring the daily necessities here when you have time." Xue Mingsui put down the book in his hand and rubbed his tired eyes. "Anyway, the storage room is empty, so I can just build a bed."

They used the storage room as a bedroom.

Although the room is small, it is equipped with a bathroom with a sink inside, and the small space seems to be convenient.At first, both of them had no problems, but later, Hua Yunche became more and more disgusted with the layout of the storage room.He couldn't bear the poor furnishings, and finally insisted on completely remodeling this ugly storage room.So throw away a lot of utensils.

The small room of more than ten square meters was transformed into a warm and warm bedroom by him.

Xue Mingsui's eyes lit up as soon as he took the floor plan—the layout is very elegant, and the use of carpets and floor lamps has improved the bedroom by more than one level, and made this small space look like a home bedroom designed by a professional designer.Hua Yunche bought some simple and elegant household items, and found items with high cost performance at a suitable price.

Xue Mingsui felt that their relationship seemed to have returned to a very natural state.Hua Yunche was as active as ever, and now he looked like a young couple who were in love: he held the space design drawing drawn by Hua Yunche, and he instructed himself, with a rather arrogant tone.

In order to save unnecessary money, Hua Yunche decided to do the painting by himself.He carried the paint bucket and brush and clambered up the ladder, while Xue Mingsui laughed and helped hold the ladder.The brush brushes the old wall, and the wall looks brand new.

"I'm exhausted." Hua Yunche finished painting, climbed down the ladder, suddenly his eyes darkened, and he fell back.

"Be careful." Xue Mingsui supported him from behind, his hands just touching his waist.

"..."

Xue Mingsui let go of his hand, "Sorry."

"...It's okay." Hua Yunche backed away, "Xue Mingsui, you can actually try to be with Shu Qiao."

"...You are kidding." Xue Mingsui laughed, "We are not suitable at all."

"I'm serious." Hua Yunche said sincerely, "How do you know if you don't try it? Besides, do you dare to say that you don't have an affair in your coffee shop?"

... What the hell is Aventure?

"No. To you..."

"I know, that's why I advise you to try other people. To be honest, don't always hide from your heart."

Am I running from myself?

Xue Mingsui was silent for a while, "Can we end this topic?"

After the bedroom was completely remodeled, Xue Mingsui brought over some supplies from the school.The only inconvenience was that there was no place to take a bath, but he found a public bathhouse not far away in a residential area, only ten minutes away from Zhaixing Lane.It is convenient to prepare a bath basket and a change of clothes before going.

When it came time to discuss the issue of sleeping, Hua Yunche said, "Then, let's buy two beds!"

"Yun Che, don't you want to sleep together?" Xue Mingsui approached him, "We are very comfortable together in winter."

"No!" Hua Yunche strongly objected, "Who wants to sleep with you? Of course not, we must separate the bed!"

Xue Mingsui was forced to accept this decision.

The days are lived by them with gusto.Recently, the income of "Thinking Trends" has been considerable, and Xiaosi has started a new round of renovations for the store.The cakes offered in the window have increased. Before, there were only ordinary chiffon cakes, but now there are heavy cheese and mousse cakes.Books have taken on a new look, from popular old books to high-profile unpopular books.It is said that someone gave her advice and recommended a book list to her. As for who it was, Xiao Si said, it was a cool-looking boy with glasses and curly hair.

Hua Yunche visited the new store every now and then, "This layout is good, and the tables are very materialistic. Hey, this piece, it's not suitable to use wood—"

Xiao Si was finally annoyed, "Hua Yunche, go back to your shop! What are you messing around here? I'm so annoyed by you."

"Xiaosi, why don't we play cards?"

"Huh?" Xiaosi's eyes widened. "Playing cards? What kind of cards...It's winter, but this store can still be lively. I have to hurry up and earn back my money."

"You have to relax when you're busy! You'll feel better when you play, and your business will be better."

...What kind of reasoning is this? !

"Listen to me, that's right," Hua Yunche said with a straight face, "By the way, have you ever played in the dark, please close your eyes?"

"I've played." Xiao Si nodded, "However, where can I find so many people?"

Hua Yunche counted with his fingers.This game requires a lot of people to play, the store manager, myself, Xiaosi, and the two girls with ponytails from the takoyaki shop, the buddy from the Cantonese style sugar store, and the creative toy store... The young people in the clothing store don’t like it It's lively, so can we bring in the old man from the flower shop?

Hua Yunche immediately ran back to SOLIS to find Xue Mingsui.Xue Mingsui was the first to reject him.

"I know how to mess around every day, and I don't do my job properly. Don't others want to do business?"

"The store manager is so stupid to torment himself," Hua Yunche curled his mouth, "Recently you have been staying up all night, I think your eyes are red from boiling, is coffee so important?"

Xue Mingsui didn't know how to define himself.At first it seemed to be to experience life, but now it has changed in quality. The reason for the change in quality is because of the curly glasses.

"Okay," Xue Mingsui said, "then let's play in the dark, please close your eyes."
