Bai Shuang clenched the Chanel Le Boy tightly in her hand.
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and got into the car.
Zhao Liangze's face darkened, and he quickly drove to a well-known cafe on a nearby street.
For this city, coffee was a new hot beverage.
In the past, people here were used to drinking tea. Of course, it was English afternoon tea or morning tea.
Now, there were all kinds of coffees. They weren't simple instant or instant coffee, but coffee with complicated procedures starting from the coffee beans.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car and looked up to see a post-modern cafe with a very chic decoration.
The entire store was built with transparent glass, and the structural support inside was detailed steel beams and columns. Although it was intricate, it was neat and orderly, and everything could be seen at a glance.
The name of the shop was even more chic.
It was called Truth Cafe.
Zhao Liangze walked into the cafe with two beautiful women, looking straight ahead, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He found a seat by the window and sat down.
Gu Nianzhi sat by the window, next to Zhao Liangze.
Bai Shuang sat opposite them.
She walked to the window and saw that the cafe was originally built by the sea.
Outside the window were towering reefs, and a little further away was the coastline.
There was no beach, and the sea slammed directly against the reefs, splashing white mist and rolling waves.
"… Rocks pierced the sky, raging waves beat against the shore, and rolled up a thousand piles of snow." Gu Nianzhi smiled and pointed to the scenery outside the window. "Our ancient poems describe it so vividly. Did the ancients come here?"
Zhao Liangze glanced at her and smiled. "You are indeed a top student. You can even recite poems."
"Pfft, you only know how to mock me." Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. "Hurry up and introduce me to the best coffee here."
Zhao Liangze didn't look at the menu and directly said to the waiter, "Give her a natural cappuccino, I want a mocha, and the lady opposite me will have a latte. Natural cappuccino with sugar and double milk. Mocha with black mocha. Latte with milk, no sugar, and a little hot cocoa. "
Bai Shuang's expression became even more complicated. She looked at Zhao Liangze strangely and said, "… You actually remember my taste."
"I went to a few concerts with you, and I know what you like," Zhao Liangze said casually. He leaned back in his seat and asked Bai Shuang, "When did you come to Cape Town? We haven't been here for long. Do you have any good places to go? "
"Really?" Bai Shuang lowered her eyes in a panic. Her hands were clasped together, and her arms trembled slightly. After a while, she said, "I've only been here for a few days. I came with a marine animal protection organization. I'm here to do science promotion for a while."
"Oh, that's good." Gu Nianzhi saw that Bai Shuang was so nervous, so she quickly changed the topic. "What kind of protected marine animals are there here? I only see seafood … "She pursed her lips as she spoke.
Bai Shuang burst out laughing at Gu Nianzhi's teasing. "You only know how to eat seafood. We can't let our captain know about this. If he knew, he wouldn't say another word to you. "
Gu Nianzhi said, "… Is it wrong to eat seafood? That was a dish! It's a vegetable! "
"Okay, I know you like seafood, so I'll take you to the best restaurant here today, okay?" Zhao Liangze glared at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. "I must eat until I'm full."
"You make it sound like you're not full. You ate three bowls of rice yesterday! "Zhao Liangze raised his hand and called the waiter over to order two small cakes for Gu Nianzhi and Bai Shuang.
At this time, the waiter also brought the coffee over.
Zhao Liangze's black mocha didn't have any fancy patterns, but it was a solemn and dark color.
Bai Shuang's latte was dark yellow, like the color of salted egg yolk in a mooncake. There was a wheat ear dotted with white milk foam on it.
Gu Nianzhi exclaimed in admiration and took her natural cappuccino.
The shape of a heart was drawn with white milk foam on the pale yellow.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the heart and thought of the heart-shaped steak Huo Shaoheng made. Her heart skipped a beat, and she caught a glimpse of a tall figure from the corner of her eye. She immediately looked over without batting an eyelid.
The man wore the same uniform as the waiters here. He lowered his head at the coffee counter and made various coffees according to the customers' requests.
His fingers were straight and clean, and his knuckles couldn't be seen. When he made the coffee, it was almost like he was making a work of art.
As if sensing Gu Nianzhi's gaze, the man raised his head and smiled at her.
It was a completely unfamiliar face, but Gu Nianzhi looked at him like he was possessed. Then she quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding.
No matter how the man pretended to be, Gu Nianzhi could recognize that it was Huo Shaoheng.
He said he wanted to hide in the dark, but he actually hid like this …
Gu Nianzhi's thoughts ran wild. She was happy, worried, and a little bloated, as if happiness was too full and about to overflow.
She patted her chest and looked at the coffee cup in front of her with a big smile.
Zhao Liangze took a few sips of the black mocha and saw Gu Nianzhi giggling at the coffee cup. He couldn't help frowning. "Hey, why are you smiling at a coffee cup like you're in love?"
Bai Shuang looked over and smiled understandingly. "Little Ze, you don't understand. Nianzhi must be thinking of her lover, right?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Zhao Liangze, "…"
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "Bai Shuang raised her eyebrows and pouted her plump lips into a seductive shape.
"I also want to have a lover, but I don't have one. What should I do?" Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and spread her hands helplessly.
"How could that be? Nianzhi, aren't you Huo Shao's girlfriend? "Bai Shuang asked in surprise." Huo Shao doesn't have any other girlfriends besides you. "
Gu Nianzhi seemed to feel the person on the other side of the coffee table looking over.
She smiled without batting an eyelid. "Really? But we broke up. "
The corners of Zhao Liangze's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.
Bai Shuang quickly asked with concern, "Huo Shao was so good to you. Why did you break up? Nianzhi, think about it again and work hard to get Huo Shao back! "
"No, chasing people is too tiring. I plan to be chased in the future and not chase myself anymore." Gu Nianzhi said with a smile.
She didn't mean anything else. She was just talking about her actual situation.
But in Bai Shuang's ears, it sounded like she was talking about her. She couldn't help blushing and murmuring as she lowered her head. She took a sip of her latte and didn't speak anymore.
Gu Nianzhi saw Bai Shuang's reaction and realized that her words had probably been misunderstood by Bai Shuang. She quickly lowered her head as well.
The three of them sat in the seats with the best view, but none of them looked out the window at the seascape. They only buried their heads in coffee, which was a wonder of the cafe.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head behind the coffee table. He was speechless at the three of them. They were three idiots put together and became idiots to the power of three.
He called a waiter over and asked him to deliver the snacks that Zhao Liangze had ordered. Only then did he break the strange silence on Zhao Liangze's side.
With food, Gu Nianzhi became lively again and said to Bai Shuang, "Miss Bai, are you still planning to return to China? How long are you going to stay abroad? I actually don't know where to go on this trip. I just randomly pointed on the map and it pointed to this place. "
Bai Shuang was very envious of Gu Nianzhi's carefree attitude. She said to her enthusiastically, "If you want to have fun, you should still return to China. Our country now has the best entertainment and food in the world. But if you want to see the scenery, there are more places abroad. After all, the scenery is different from China, so sightseeing is quite interesting. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly. "Actually, I chose Cape Town mainly because there is especially fresh seafood here …"
"You still talk about food every other day. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you weren't a lawyer, but a gourmet consultant at a restaurant. " Zhao Liangze pushed the snacks in front of him to Gu Nianzhi. "You eat it. Can it stop your mouth?"
"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Gu Nianzhi made a "zipper" gesture to her mouth, then buried her head in the cake.
Only then did Zhao Liangze speak to Bai Shuang.
"… You're alone. Don't stay here for too long. Go back when it's about time." Zhao Liangze persuaded her sullenly. "Nianzhi's trip abroad will only take a few weeks, and then I'll send her back to China."
"Really?" Bai Shuang was a little perfunctory with Zhao Liangze, but her eyes never left Gu Nianzhi. She seemed to think that Gu Nianzhi was easier to talk to, so she smiled and changed the topic to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you asked me to recommend a few fun places just now. I just remembered."
"Oh? Really? I'd like to hear more. "Gu Nianzhi quickly put down her cake and sat upright, looking all ears.
Bai Shuang was indeed a national spokesperson. She spoke in a pleasant voice and introduced the fun places in Cape Town to Gu Nianzhi as if she was familiar with them.
"The natural scenery of Cape Town is near the coastline on the outskirts of the city. You can live here and go out every morning and evening. Live here for two weeks, and the sea view will make you want to vomit. "
"There are some very special museums in Cape Town. If you have enough time, go to the museum for a few days, and I guarantee you won't get bored."
As Bai Shuang spoke, she enthusiastically took out her phone and opened the phone photo album. "Look, these are a few photos I took in the museum in the city center a few days ago. Aren't they very interesting?"
Gu Nianzhi looked through them one by one and smiled noncommittally.
The museums she liked were history museums, preferably ones that were very old.
Most of the museums here were less than a hundred years old, so she wasn't very interested in them.
However, she still looked at the photos politely and occasionally let out one or two unintelligible sighs of admiration.
Just as Gu Nianzhi was about to politely decline all the photos, she saw another photo.
In this photo, Bai Shuang stood in front of a mosaic wall and made a V sign. On the wall not far behind her, there was a cursive English poem. It was the one that Gu Nianzhi was very familiar with.
Daddy "…
Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed, and she immediately pointed to the photo and asked, "Where is this? Is this also a museum? It doesn't look like the previous photos? "
