The Eighth Cup of Coffee Part 2

When they returned to the restaurant, Jiang Ying drank and couldn’t drive, so she called for a taxi.
Before getting into a taxi, Yun Xian told her to tell him when she got home safely.

Jiang Ying calmly waved goodbye to him, calmly returned home, calmly messaged Yun Xian that she was home, and calmly prepared to take off the makeup.

But the moment she took off the earrings, she could no longer hold back her feelings.
The corners of her lips rose wildly.

The excitement at the deepest part of her heart made it critical for Jiang Ying to share her feelings now with someone.

As soon as Shen Xuan answered the phone, she heard a series of “AAAaahhhhhh!”

“What the fuck are you doing? I’m going to be deaf!” Shen Xuan complained while rubbing her ears.

Jiang Ying said passionately, “Shen Xuan, spring is here!”

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.
Then, she asked, “Did you drink?”

“I drank a little.
I’m okay, I’m not drunk.” Jiang Ying raised her hand and touched her hot cheek.

“Then why are you pretending to be a magpie and tell me it’s spring?”

“No, I mean,” Jiang Ying let out a silly giggle, “my spring is here.”

Shen Xuan immediately understood.
“Oh, did something happen? Who is it?”

Jiang Ying turned over.
“It’s the one I told you about, the coffee shop owner downstairs.”

Shen Xuan urged her.
“Hurry up and tell me more! What did he do?”

Jiang Ying grabbed the phone and was about to speak but stopped.
She still couldn’t talk about the conflict between her and Fu Chen today.

After thinking for a while, she skipped the previous part and began to remember what had happened at the long street. 

While sharing, Jiang Ying’s mind was flashing through those scenes.
The throbbing feeling came to her heart again.
She grinned and her cheekbones rose to the sky.
“I want to stop and pinch myself several times tonight.
I’m really going to faint.”

Shen Xuan knocked the melon seeds and couldn’t help sighing.
“This is too sweet!”

“I was going to give up, and show him my true self,” Jiang Ying’s voice lowered.

“But Shen Xuan, I really like him.”

Spring was here.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the beetles were back after a silent winter.
The kittens in the community were lazily meowing day and night.

The ambiguous throbbing grew wildly during this season.

Unlike her soft heart with countless knots1 , Shen Xuan said straightforwardly on the phone: “If you like him, then go after him!”

“But I…”

Don’t have the courage to.

Shen Xuan was trying to get her best friend to make a move.
Jiang Ying heard her say, “My husband is back, I can’t talk anymore.
I hope you and your Xiangqin2 seal your love with a kiss.”

Before Jiang Ying had time to say anything, the other side had already hung up the phone.

“I’m speechless!” She angrily made a note about what this married woman said.

Jiang Ying’s birthday was on Arbor Day.
Her surname was Jiang, so she got the nickname “Jiang Zhishu3”.

Xiangqin?

It didn’t go well with Yun Xian’s image.

Jiang Ying opened WeChat and found Yun Xian’s chat box.
She clicked on the settings, and gave him a new note.

She kept changing it and having fun with it.
She was smiling so much that her cheeks were hurting. 

This memory could not be erased, nor could it disappear.

In the future when she remembered that night, she would not remember the nonsense with Fu Chen in the restaurant.

She only remembered the busy, long street and the cherry earrings.

When Yun Xian stood at the entrance of the restaurant, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.
He saw a list of WeChat notifications and scanned through it quickly.
All the notifications were from Li Zhicheng.
He quickly gave him a call.

“Hey.”

“Were you kidnapped? Kill the hostage.
I won’t pay the ransom.”

Yun Xian’s voice was full of happiness, “Are you still in the restaurant?”

Li Zhicheng asked, “Are you still on the earth?”

Yun Xian knew that he was in the wrong and sincerely apologized.
“I suddenly left a bit in advance.
I forgot to tell you.
I’m sorry.”

“Get out, stinky man.” Li Zhicheng finished scolding, and asked in a low voice, “Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?”

Yun Xian laughed.
“No, I’ll go back by myself.”

When he came home, Li Zhicheng was sitting in the living room playing games.
Yun Xian took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator and threw a bottle to Li Zhicheng.

Li Zhicheng held the controller and asked him, “What happened that was urgent?”

Yun Xian pushed the tab and took a sip of cold beer.
He lied without a change in his face, “Su Cheng asked for a break and I had to go to the store to make a sample.”

“And you forgot to tell me?” Li Zhicheng picked up a pillow and slammed it at Yun Xian.

Yun Xian caught it steadily.
“I’m old and have a bad memory.”

Li Zhicheng snorted and said, “But you missed a good show today.
I heard later on that a man and a woman were fighting in the hallway.”

Yun Xian said yeah absently and leaned on the sofa to give Jiang Ying a reply.

Orange Sunset: I’m home.

See the Mountain: Okay, rest early.

Li Zhicheng: “It seems like that the man was beaten, and he was slapped ruthlessly.
Tsk tsk.
People think he was caught cheating.
How is he still alive? What kind of woman did he provoke?”

The scene in the restaurant went through Yun Xian’s mind.
Jiang Ying did not hesitate when she hit him with her hand.
It was fast, accurate, and fierce.

He patted Li Zhicheng on the shoulder, and warned sincerely, “Be nice to your employees in the future.”

 

The author has something to say: 

Li Zhicheng, when all is said and done, you will pay for what you’ve done.
