Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 548
Chapter 548 Extra Meng Zi He (I)
When Xu Xia saw Meng Zi He for the first time, his heart shook, as if an electric current passed through his body, causing him to be in a trance for a moment.
Funny enough, there happened to be a customer who ordered a coffee and saw him like this, following his gaze, his eyes went straight, so Xu Xia felt that it really wasn’t that he wasn’t being tight, it was indeed that Meng Zi He was too seductive.
Throughout the afternoon, Xu Xia was a bit restless, and his gaze could not help but swipe towards the woman in the corner.
She is really a special thing, big eyes, high nose, bright eyes and white teeth, corn-colored curls draped over her shoulders, like a shining waterfall, wearing a silk white blouse with a bohemian skirt, like a gypsy girl who suddenly appeared, a little bit mysterious, a little bit uninhibited, and full of curiosity.
No woman has ever been able to pull the strings in his heart so easily, Xu Xia thought that perhaps this is called love at first sight, right?
But what could be done? There must be a tall, powerful and handsome, multi-colored man behind such a woman, he thought with some frustration.
But he gradually realized that Meng Zi He often came over in the afternoon, came alone, left alone, no one transport, she is tall, always wearing a loose long skirt, walking swaying, like a dahlia in full bloom, attracting everyone’s attention. Every time she comes in, she makes Xu Xia feel that the dark house is steeply bright, a little bit fluffy.
Meng Zi He orders a glass of white water with a dessert every time he comes and sits in the corner leisurely reading a book and eating dessert. Curly hair falling down on the shoulders, very petty feeling.
In fact, here are more temperament gentle girl, drinking coffee, flipping the pages of a book, each looks very petty, but only she is different, petty and gypsy girl are two different styles, but surprisingly both can be embodied in her. When she was quiet, her eyes were haunted and clean and sweet, and when she ate dessert, occasionally the corners of her eyes darted out, giving birth to another kind of awesomeness.
Xu Xia watched in fascination, and every day, every day, this became the scenery he longed to see the most.
Xu Xia is actually a man of science and technology, he never thought he would open such a coffee house, not to mention that he would meet Meng Zi He in his coffee house.
He studied in college is a computer, after graduation into a large IT company, generous treatment, but the work is very hard, overtime and late at night is a common thing, at that time, he was on the young, do not take it seriously, every day sitting in front of the computer work for more than ten hours, day after day, year after year, until one morning he couldn’t get out of bed at all, and only a little bit scared up.
Colleagues sent him to the hospital and the doctor told him that his cervical spondylosis was very serious and could not be cured overnight, and even if he was cured, he could not go back to his previous state and it would be better for him to change his job.
His parents came on the news and were adamant that he quit his job, stayed with him in the hospital for half a month, and took him home.
His home in a small city, and the big city compared to the life here seems very leisurely, but Xu Xia is not willing to idle at home, always want to do something, he worked for a few years, there is a savings in hand, want to do some small business, wandering in the streets of the time, just to see this cafe listing transfer, he did not think too much about it, walked into, and the boss talked, and then measured the inside of the decorations, think it’s not bad, and on the spot on the beat! The board.
The boss, called Chen Hua, thought he was very forthcoming and took the initiative to drop $10,000, saying that he wanted to make him a friend, and told him some of the ways of doing business. In this way, he had not yet opened the restaurant for business, but first made friends with Chen Hua.
Hsu Hsia didn’t know much about coffee, he just wanted to do something to pass the time because he had two years to recover from his neck vertebrae, and during those two years, his parents didn’t allow him to sit in front of the computer.
With this cafe, he could sit at the counter and be content with just having a place to stay.
It was really unintentional, he didn’t expect that he, who knew nothing about coffee, had opened a café with great success, and even Wah admired him, saying that he was a businessman’s material.
In fact, where he is what business material, but is a mistake. Although he is studying science, secondary school when Hou is also a literary man, love to read, love to sing, also know a little bit of musical instruments.
He took the cafe as his own place of fun, home books all moved, and bought many new, so that the walls are full of books, the atmosphere came out, musical instruments also moved, idle boredom self-indulgence, one to two, attracted a lot of like-minded friends, friends with friends, word of mouth, his cafe gradually in the circle of the famous, admirers came more and more, and sometimes Hou inside the seat, and the people would like to stand at the door and so on. People would like to stand at the door and so on, Xu Xia will set up a few tables at the door, make a small open-air place, gradually or overcrowded.
Chen Hua gave him the idea to open a chain and make the industry bigger, Xu Xia refused, opening a cafe was supposed to be a way for him to spend his time, he didn’t want to make himself suffer.
I thought this life was the best, but I never expected to meet Meng Zi He.
Chen Hua said that there is no best in everything, only better. Xu Xia thought he was right. Because after meeting Meng Zi He Yi, he felt that life was better.
Because business is good, the cafe hired two helpers, one is nineteen year old Ren Dandan, she graduated from high school and has been working here for a year, there is also a twenty-two year old Jiang Kaicheng, when Chen Hua was still the boss, he worked here part-time, after graduating from college, he didn’t find a suitable job, so he has stayed here. He has an outgoing personality, and the introverted Xu Xia just complement each other, and became a very good friend.
Just the best of friends, Xu Xia would not share his crush. He had a gentle character and liked to be subtle, so he believed that one day, Meng Zi He would find out how good he was.
Now that she’s going to find out, she needs to show something.
Seeing Meng Zi He entered the store, Xu Xia picked up the guitar, sat on the counter and sang to himself. His voice is very good, pure and ethereal, very much like a certain folk singer who used to be very popular. When he opened his voice for the first time in public, he simply stunned the audience. Chen Hua and Jiang Kaicheng strongly encouraged him to participate in singing competitions, saying that as long as he went, he would definitely win awards, definitely become a hit, definitely shine brightly, and definitely become an idol worshipped by all.
Jiang Kaisheng was very good at talking, but even clever words failed to persuade him.
Xu Xia knows his own talent, since childhood teachers said he sings well, rhythm, but also serious to the Children’s Palace to learn, but then parents think, a boy to sing is not a serious thing, so finally let him like ordinary children to take the university, studied computer science.
Xu Xia loves to sing but doesn’t like to live a too high-profile life because she finds it too tiring.
He’s singing “Warmth” by Xu Wei.
I’m sitting in my room.
Looking through your photos.
Reminds me of Dali again.
The sun always shines.
The sky is so blue
The ever-green Cangshan Mountains
I love the blue Erhai Sea
Scattered with white sails
The heart beats slowly with the wind
Beneath a golden sunset
In the green fairy grass
Your smile is so warm.
I love the nightly bonfires in Lijiang.
We sing and we dance and we’re happy
I love the stars on a blue night.
Angels swept overhead and flew into the distance
In my arms you whisper in my ear.
Some of that warmth in my heart
With me thinking of you today
You made my heart heavy for a long time
Feeling lighter than I’ve ever felt before.
…
As soon as he opened his voice, the applause rang out, and even Meng Zi He raised his head and swept his gaze faintly over.
Across several rows of tables, the two men’s lines of sight met in mid-air, maybe just for a split second, maybe paused for two seconds, Xu Xia only felt his heart hit hard, hitting his chest cavity with some pain, and then it beat wildly, as dense as a drum beat. He was like being scalded by boiling water, he just barely jumped up, panicked and avoided, he always sang calmly, only Meng Zi He made his heart panic.
Shallow singing, pure voice seems to bring everyone to those beautiful pictures: blue sky, brilliant sunshine, a little white sails, green mountains, blue Cang’er … night bonfires burning, singing, laughing, dancing, meteors flying over the head … Lover’s smile, warm embrace, low whisper … brings endless flawed thoughts.
There was no clamor, not even the sound of flipping books, all the people were quiet and cerulean, to them, being able to hear Xu Xia sing in the afternoon was a rare thing, and because of that, it was invaluable.
After the song, the applause was thunderous, and someone called up, “Xu Xia, one more song.”
All the people who come and go are acquaintances, and no one calls him boss, they all call him by his first name, as if this is what makes him seem casual and intimate.
Hsu Hsia clasped his fists in appreciation, tuned the strings, and sang “Blue Lotus” again.
It’s an extremely popular song, so by the time you get to the chorus, there are people humming along softly:
Through the dark ages
I’ve felt lost.
The moment you look down
I just realized the path beneath my feet.
Through the dark ages
I’ve felt lost.
The moment you look down
I just realized the path beneath my feet.
The free world in your heart
So clear and high
Blooming and never dying
blue lotus
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
La ~~~~~~
Meng Zi He was slightly surprised, she came here a few times, but it was the first time she heard Xu Xia sing, seeing the people around her follow the chorus, she was suddenly a little touched, the crowd chorus, but it is not noisy, the low voice echoed indoors, as if the gurgling springs of the mountains, making people feel serene and faraway.
She surveyed the man sitting at the counter playing the piano from a distance, he wore a light blue shirt, his hair was a little long and hung in disarray on his forehead, the lamp behind him shone diagonally, coating his body with a false white light, he just sat in the light and shadows, his head bowed down and sang, like a pious religious man, concentrating on his own song.
Meng Zi He knew that he was the owner of this place, and also knew that his name was Xu Xia, that was all, she didn’t like to pay attention to strangers, and the only one in the world that she had paid attention to, was no longer there.
But today, this Xu Xia made some impression on her, so he could sing, and sing so well.
