Cheng Siyu raised a slender metal spoon, wrinkled his nose, and tapped Qin Ren's cup.
But Qin Ren was not just perfunctory, he told the truth.
Whether it was being cheated by Cheng Siyu or whether Cheng Siyu was sitting here "connecting", after two years, Qin Ren got used to it all.
…
"Brother-in-law, dad has something new~"
"Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to bring you a message."
"Brother-in-law, I discovered a little secret about my sister. See you at the same place."
…
If you think about it carefully, this is not the first time that Qin Ren has been "lied" by his sister-in-law to come here. Qin Ren has already seen through all the simple lies like "major information" when he received the WeChat message last night.
However, there are some things that you have to do even though you know they are wrong.
After all, it is related to lifelong happiness. Qin Ren, with the consciousness of "I would rather be deceived three thousand times than let go of a piece of true information", will still come forward every time.
"But let's face it, after being deceived by you so many times, it's not without gain."
"What's the catch?"
Qin Ren picked up the cup in his hand:
“This coffee is good.”
Qin Ren doesn't understand coffee. For him, coffee only has two simple options: whether it tastes good or not.
“In our company, departments often order coffee for afternoon tea. Luckin and Starbucks have it, but when I drink it, I always feel that it has a flavor of essence and is boring. It’s not as good as Nestlé. But this store is very good. I don’t know why.
Anyway, it’s quite comfortable to drink.”
"It tastes good, right? Drink it to death..."
"?"
His sister-in-law never seemed to need a reason to criticize him, it was always so sudden. As a brother-in-law, Qin Ren had to criticize her:
"I'm talking about Cheng Siyu, you chose this place in the first place. If I praise the coffee, it's a disguised compliment to you, right? Why don't you know what's good and what's good? This kid..."
"snort!"
Cheng Siyu didn't know what was good or bad. She looked at the vortex stirred up by the small spoon in the cup and felt a little depressed.
I drank coffee with my beautiful sister-in-law, but what I cared about was the taste of the coffee...
Why not just break the coffee?
After drinking it for two years, I didn’t do anything serious with it, but I got some insights after drinking coffee. Who is this person?
Click——
The stirring of the metal spoon in his hand stopped, and Cheng Siyu pinched her white and tender fingers:
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back."
"The coffee is not finished yet."
"oh."
Cheng Siyu drank the remaining half of the cup and poured it into Qin Ren's cup, which was almost overflowing.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Qin Ren pulled toilet paper and wrapped it around the cup just in case, but luckily it was packed in the end.
Hers and his.
Two cups of coffee combined into one full cup.
If it's full, no matter how much else you add, it won't be able to fit in.
Cheng Siyu watched quietly, feeling a little relieved from his dull mood.
When he raised his eyes, he saw his brother-in-law frowning and burying his head helplessly, with a silly look on his face, carefully sipping the cup. After two seconds of silence, Cheng Siyu burst into laughter.
"Smile, smile, laugh your ass off!"
Qin Ren drank a circle along the rim of the cup like a Beijinger drinking fried liver, and then angrily yelled at his gloating sister-in-law:
"I'm about to graduate and I still don't have the skills to do things. I hope you have the same attitude towards your life."
"My attitude towards life is so good."
Cheng Siyu is quite proud in this regard:
"Brother-in-law, don't watch me repeat my studies. I must have studied better than you and worked harder than you in the past few years in college."
"Why?"
"Because I was single since birth, what about you? You can't be too busy dating my sister in college? Although we didn't have a long relationship, my dad was imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda, but..."
Cheng Siyu gestured with his hands:
"Aren't you still busy with 'that'?"
that?
The sister-in-law's gestures were too abstract, and Qin Ren didn't understand them:
"Which one?"
"Exorcism."
Cheng Siyu looked at her brother-in-law with a half-smile:
"You are actually a mysterious exorcist, and the women in your bed are all fake. This is what you said yourself when you were caught by our father."
"Wait a minute! Dad?"
Qin Ren glared:
"I told you not to talk nonsense, but you are right? Who is our father?"
Cheng Siyu raised her handsome chin and patted the table lightly:
"You want to be nice to my sister, but my sister's father is not your father?"
"Yes...yes..."
"I am my sister's sister, is her dad also my dad?"
"..."
"My dad = your dad, is he our dad?"
This is the truth. Qin Ren can't refute it, but it still feels weird.
Cheng Siyu didn't seem to find it strange and continued:
"I remember it clearly. That night you were talking incoherently. What was it about exorcism and what was slime...brother-in-law, do you think our dad knows what slime is?"
"..."
"I didn't make up any more reliable excuses, and went for fantasy novels... Sigh, it shows how guilty you were at the time."
Qin Ren couldn't pretend he didn't hear this. After being stunned, he took a deep breath:
"No, Cheng Siyu, you've been doing this for a long time, but in the past two years, you haven't even believed in me?"
"Have some doubts." Cheng Siyu spread his hands to give face to his brother-in-law.
"Good guy."
Qin Ren called the good guy directly:
"Then you don't really mean it when you say you support me getting back together with your sister?"
"Why not? One code equals one code."
Cheng Siyu rolled her eyes at him:
"You made a mistake, but unlike dad, I don't think it's time to break up. I just apologize and forgive you, right?"
"Ah this..."
These words made Qin Ren feel embarrassed. He looked around and whispered:
"I did that at the time, and the woman was naked. You...do you really think you can forgive me simply?"
"Um."
Cheng Siyu nodded slightly, then picked up the spoon again at some point and started stirring in his empty cup:
"As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind if you have women other than my sister outside."
"..."
This crazy girl can really say anything...
Qin Ren's expression froze at that time, he stood up and reached out to touch Cheng Siyu's forehead.
Warm, somewhat rough temperature gently fell on the slightly cool skin. Cheng Siyu's fingertips trembled slightly. After a faint blush flashed across her cheeks, she raised her head and looked at Qin Ren calmly:
"How about it, isn't it hot?"
"Um…"
"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Let's confirm it later."
"Glib tongue..."
Qin Ren took back his hand, stretched out his index finger and reminded his sister-in-law:
"Don't say such nonsense in the future, especially in front of your sister."
"She won't come back for another year."
"Is a year a long time?"
"..."
Cheng Siyu opened his mouth but said nothing.
Yes, a year is a long time...
In only one year, Cheng Siyun will be back.
…
The girl's silence is like a leaf falling quietly on the water, which will not attract Qin Ren's attention.
Qin Ren also doesn't know that his words are like a thorn in some people's ears.
Thin, small.
Diving in shallowly, you can draw out too many things from the past to the present.
Those sour and bitter...
Those funny, ridiculous...
There are also those sweet things that come only occasionally, like leftovers, but are regarded as treasures by her again and again...
…
When did I go from hiding in bed secretly wiping tears to slowly becoming happy and grateful...
Thanks to her, I can share a little unknown joy.
Thanks to her, people who never cared about me can look at me a little more.
…
Thanks to Chengzi, she will be a little Chengzi.
…
From small to large.
It's always been like this.
Of course, there will be a future.
"Brother-in-law."
"?"
"cheers!"
Cheng Siyu's delicate face had a playful and hearty smile, and she picked up her empty coffee cup towards Qin Ren.
Qin Ren looked at her for two seconds, shook his head helplessly, raised his heavy cup, and touched it with a "ding":
"Wish for what?"
"Idiot, of course I wish you and my sister a smooth reunion in a year's time~"
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Finally, there was something serious to say. Qin Ren smiled, picked up the coffee and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and saw that the quirky sister-in-law was still pretending to drink from the empty cup. The large Peppa Pig printed mark.
The cup tilted up, covering most of her small face.
"Didn't you urge me to leave just now? I'm done drinking now, let's go."
"You go first."
She was still holding the cup in a funny way, but her voice sounded a little loud:
"I'll sit down for a while. I'm treating you today."
"It's great! It's better to bring some real information next time. I have to visit his old man during the Mid-Autumn Festival in September."
Qin Ren gave a thumbs up and stood up without needing to be polite to his sister-in-law.
First there was the sound of a chair being pulled, then steady steps, and finally the sound of the wind chimes shaking at the door.
After confirming Qin Ren's departure, Cheng Siyu gently put down the cup, revealing the red corners of his eyes.
"Fortunately, I am an idiot brother-in-law..."
She murmured happily, raised one hand to rub it, and the fingertips of the other hand rubbed the three words "barometer" printed on the cotton and linen tablecloth.
Rain or shine…
Qin Ren, Siyu…
If her brother-in-law knew the reason why she chose this store as her old place, she would definitely laugh at her for being naive...
She doesn't know.
But it's not important either.
The important thing is that it would be great if my sister can get back together with him smoothly.
Cheng Siyu took out his mobile phone, clicked on the three words [Cheng Siyun] on WeChat, and pressed the screen skillfully:
[Sister, I met my brother-in-law again today, and he said he misses you so much. It’s so disgusting... It’s August now. Although it’s the last year, I still have to remember to talk to him every day. Believe me, I’m right. Details.
Determining success or failure, as long as you keep hooking him like this, he will definitely not change his mind...]
After typing the last word and clicking send, Cheng Siyu didn't look up for a long time.
…
Come on, sister...
Only if Chengzi and him get back together smoothly, can I continue to be his little Chengzi from now on...
…
The girl prayed and blessed, but her vision became increasingly blurry for some reason. In her wet eyes, the thick mist that had been there for a long time finally condensed into a warm teardrop.
, hanging on the long eyelashes, quivering and snapping, rolling down like raindrops...
