"Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip..."
Since the morning, dark clouds had covered the sky. The heavy rain in the morning had stopped for a while in the afternoon, but not long after, it started to drizzle again. The raindrops were like crystal beads hanging from the eaves of the coffee shop, dripping onto the dark green lawn.
Contrary to the pale and hazy world in the rain, the coffee shop was very cozy. The chandeliers emitted a pale yellow light, which made the originally cold and lonely air feel unusually warm.
Xi Xi liked the rain very much. She leaned against the booth by the window, staring at the drizzle outside with her big eyes. She was very engrossed.
From the back, the girl with her silky smooth and soft hair hanging down to her slender waist, holding her chin, seemed to be a miniature version of a goddess who was thinking about her worries. She looked out of the window, which always made men worry about her. What kind of distance was she thinking about?
Of course, the girl just liked to watch the rain!
Her father didn't allow her to step on the water outside with her little rain boots, so Xi Xi could only watch quietly from inside.
Yang Yi withdrew his gaze from his daughter and looked at Ding Xiang, who was opening the coffee cans one by one to check if the coffee beans inside were damp. "Hmm? What did you say to me just now? "
Ding Xiang was checking the coffee beans while talking to Yang Yi, but Yang Yi was so engrossed in watching his daughter that he didn't hear what Ding Xiang said.
"Brother Yang, I said that Sister Murphy seems to be very popular recently! My roommates in the dormitory are all talking about her. "Ding Xiang smiled." But I didn't dare to tell them, because I have to keep it a secret for Sister Murphy! "
Yang Yi took a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen from the bar counter, and wrote down a sentence that he thought of just now. He asked casually, "Really? What did you guys talk about? "
"You sit by the window and watch the rain, and the people who watch the rain look at you from behind. The curtain of rain decorates your window, you light up other people's lives. "Yang Yi finished writing and looked at it with satisfaction.
This was a poem that he had changed based on the current situation. The original work was called "Cliffhanger". Of course, it was also very famous, so there was no need for further introduction. However, Yang Yi wanted to change the name of the poem to "Daughter".
Obviously, the new name was much worse than the original name, so Yang Yi didn't write it. He just admired the four lines of words he wrote, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to him.
"They're discussing Sister Murphy's new song! They said that Sister Murphy used to be very powerful, but then, she couldn't do it anymore. Sister Murphy had a hard time, and now that there's a new song out, they think that Sister Murphy has a chance to become popular again! "Ding Xiang said.
"Your roommates also watch TV?" Yang Yi's interest was piqued.
"No, no, they just saw some reports on the Internet and then said it. However, there are classmates in our class who watched the replay and deliberately learned Sister Murphy's song. They all said that it was written by Mu Ziang. Isn't that you, Brother Yang?" Ding Xiang said.
Yang Yi nodded. Ding Xiang knew about his other identity, so there was no need to hide it.
"I think that song," Crossing the Sea to See You ", is very good. I just don't know when Sister Murphy will release a new album. When the time comes, Brother Yang will definitely get that disc, right? Then I can play this song in the shop, and the customers will definitely like it. "Ding Xiang said excitedly, and even hummed a few words.
Although most of the time, the audio equipment in the shop was used by Yang Yi, if Yang Yi was not in the shop, Ding Xiang would also play some soothing music for the customers, so gradually, Ding Xiang also learned to appreciate music.
However, she would sing out of tune, and it was the kind of bizarre out of tune that could be used in funny videos...
Listening to Ding Xiang humming out of tune, "Crossing the Sea to See You," Yang Yi's forehead appeared a few black lines.
"Ahem!" Yang Yi changed the topic, "Ding Xiang, there are not many customers today. You don't have to stay here, go back and rest!"
When it was not raining, there were a few students who came to drink coffee and study. The coffee shop's environment was good, and it was warmer than the library. But now that it was raining, where would there be customers?
"No, it's the weekend. Anyway, there is no class. I can read in the coffee shop and help Brother Yang entertain some sudden customers." Ding Xiang smiled.
Speak of the devil!
On a rainy day, there really was a customer who came in the rain. Ding Xiang pouted her lips, and Yang Yi saw a slightly bent figure outside the door, gradually becoming clear in the rain.
Putting away the umbrella, the person pushed open the glass door and walked in.
Although the door was opened and closed quickly, the moment when the cold wind blew in, Xi Xi, who was sitting next to her, could not help but shiver.
"Hello! Welcome! "Ding Xiang dutifully greeted the customer.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in a neat woolen suit. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties. After taking off his jazz hat, half of his white hair was revealed, but the wrinkles on his face were not obvious, and his rosy face looked very healthy.
"Hello." He nodded gently to Ding Xiang, and then began to ask about the menu and coffee.
Xi Xi was not very interested in adult matters. After curiously looking at the person who came in, she turned her head back and continued to look out the window with interest. However, not sure if it was because of the wind when the door opened, the little girl sneezed softly.
"Achoo..." The sound was not loud. Yang Yi was looking at the person who came in, and his ears were listening to the conversation between Ding Xiang and the other party, so he did not pay attention. Xi Xi also rubbed her little nose, not caring at all.
"Then I'll order this Santos. Please heat it up a little. The weather is a little too cold." The person said softly to Ding Xiang. His accent was obviously not local, but there were many foreigners in the university town, so Yang Yi did not ask for more details.
Ding Xiang quickly nodded. She took out the coffee beans from the coffee can, shook the hand mill, and began to grind the coffee beans.
While waiting, the person glanced at Yang Yi, perhaps thinking that Yang Yi was a customer like himself, and nodded at Yang Yi in a friendly manner.
However, when he curiously looked at the decorations in the shop, he was not surprised to see the piano placed next to it. His eyes lit up.
"This is, this is Theodore?" The person seemed to be in disbelief that an expensive Theodore grand piano would be placed in an inconspicuous coffee shop. He could not help but walk up and take a closer look. He even took off his gloves and reached out to touch the logo on the piano, as if to identify the authenticity of the piano.
When he recognized that it was the real Theodore, he looked around the coffee shop as if to evaluate whether the environment was a little bad.
Yang Yi did not care. He glanced at the other party and then looked away.
He could touch it as he pleased. After all, such a heavy piano could not be taken away under his nose. Of course, the other party did not look like a thief.
