Chapter 59 Hate Mint

Chapter 59 Hate Mint

"Doctor Li." Cui Jing returned to the clinic before getting off work to submit the results. As soon as Xie Jin entered the clinic, he was called over by a male doctor.

Xie Jin felt a little guilty when he saw the doctor.

It's over. His brother told him to keep his mouth shut, but he just smashed the bottle and was completely possessed by the devil.

"I have already looked at all your results on my computer." Doctor Li's desk was a mess. Seeing Cui Jing coming, he searched for her medical records and walked into the inner room. "Wait a moment, Deputy Director!"

"Xiao Li, what's wrong? Has the previous examiner finished writing his assessment? Cui Jing's." The deputy director came around from the next clinic and smiled at Cui Jing. "You're here, Cui Jing."

I know him?

Regardless of whether she knew him or not, Cui Jing nodded politely, "I'll be here after I get the results."

Doctor Li showed the handwritten report to the deputy director, "It's about Cui Jing. The division here is a bit unclear. Please take a look. The initial differentiation is your assessment. It's up to you to decide how to consider it."

The deputy director handed her the information and said, "It's hard to say. The evaluations of several other doctors have come out. Let's consider this question comprehensively."

"Then, continuing from last time, your phone is ringing?"

"It's mine." The deputy director took out his cell phone, answered the phone while walking out of the consulting room, and nodded to Cui Jing in a friendly manner as she passed by and continued the call.

"Oh yes, no problem! No problem!"

The deputy director looked back, and Xiao Li took out a seal. The stamp represented the confirmation of a Beta identity, and soon this information would be uploaded to the National Citizen Identity Information System.

The man's voice on the other end of the phone was clear and elegant. "Thank you for your hard work. Someone has sent the painting to your door. Are you taking the afternoon off?"

"That's thoughtful. That's very polite."

"The painting is for the destined person." Xue Yijie said calmly, "It's just a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"A collector named Zhu Mingting, who had previously bought an early work called Sunflowers from me, came to the studio yesterday and saw a painting that he liked, and it happened to be the one he was giving you. I told him that we were destined to meet, but he was very persistent and asked me for your address."

The deputy director smiled sincerely, "People with destiny will get what they deserve, and it will help everyone achieve their goals."

Xue Yijie hung up the phone.

The young assistant's voice rang out, "Mr. Xue, this is the invitation to the remaining exhibitions. Who are they for?"

"a friend."

The assistant did not ask any more questions. Mr. Xue has always attached great importance to privacy, but he was extremely curious. There were only a few people who were recognized as friends by Mr. Xue, so they did not need to send invitations and could just come.

This exhibition was the only one in the past few days when it was cloudy. Perhaps the artist has some special feelings about cloudy days.

Xue Yijie opened the invitation card. It was made of recycled coffee grounds and had brown letterpress fonts. She wrote the name of the guest on it. "Send it out. Find the same-city courier you used to deliver it to. Don't change the store."

He picked it up and smelled it. "It smells very pleasant."

……

“A very light coffee aroma.”

A pair of slender hands opened the envelope, put it to the nose and sniffed it, then Cui Jing took out the invitation, a single-fold light brown card with a textured feel.

It was an invitation to an art exhibition, the inviter was Xue Yijie, the signature and her name were both written very beautifully, with beautiful sharp edges on both the strokes.

Cui Jing doesn't plan to go.

The local courier was waiting for her to sign for the package, which was still the familiar helmet and clothes. She suddenly thought of the gift she received on her birthday, which was very valuable.

It's really a debt of gratitude.

After signing for the invitation, Cui Jing put it on the table and checked the weather that day. It was cloudy and the exhibition would start at 9:45 in the morning.

"I can get up and have breakfast."

Then let’s go there.

On the day of the exhibition, Cui Jing arrived at the gallery half an hour later than expected. There were crowds of people at the entrance of the gallery. No wonder traffic was stuck in a jam starting from the provincial library branch a few streets away.

The asphalt road with a literary atmosphere is not like a large shopping mall with a strong commercial atmosphere. On weekdays, the flow of people is moderate. The large number of people that emerge in a short period of time paralyzes the red traffic lights. The traffic police are on their way. Security guards and police are standing outside the exhibition hall to maintain order and prevent stampedes.

He became more famous.

Cui Jing was a little surprised. She opened her phone and took a look. There was a hot spot floating at the end of the homepage.

#White Beta's identity revealed, recent art exhibition#

She had to queue up at the door before she could enter. Cui Jing waited in line with some hesitation and was about to send a message to Xue Yijie when the other party had already sent it.

[Xue Xue Xue]: Sorry, something unexpected happened. Where are you now? I’ll come to find you.

Cui Jing left the team, found a landmark tree, and posted: There is a tree here.

Another additional post: There is a fluorescent yellow shop here, its name is "There is a tree here"

【Xue Xue Xue】: Wait for me. 【Running Puppy】【GIF】

"Go this way."

A man grabbed her hand and pulled her away. His hair was messy under his baseball cap, and he was wearing overalls covered with oil paint. There was a dry soap smell on his body as he ran.

"Xue Yijie." Cui Jing asked in a low voice.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I usually trouble the assistant to take care of the exhibition. Unexpectedly, um...something unexpected happened and I was photographed in the gallery."

Cui Jing understood what he meant. She had become more famous and it was rare for her to appear, so she was caught.

Xue Yijie smiled shyly, "Can we go in through the side door later?" Seeing Cui Jing's expression showing no resistance, he asked again, "Let's go have a drink first, or eat something."

Cui Jing glanced at his hastily unkempt hair and said, "Then let's go have a drink and sit down."

"I know there's a new coffee shop." Xue Yijie walked side by side with her until they reached the shade. He took off his hat because there was not much light. He looked like a freshly graduated college student, and every move he made was slow and polite.

He pushed open the door of a hidden coffee shop, "Here."

"Hello, may I ask you two?"

"Yes, please don't go to the hall."

The waiter led them to a window facing the back garden, which was half-covered by similar curtains in front and back. There was a small round table, carved vintage chairs, and flowers on the table.

Xue Yijie didn't say anything about ladies first, he felt that was awkward, so he pushed the coffee order over naturally, leaned his head over, and said in a gentle tone, "What would you like to drink?"

He tilted his head to look at her, with a very obedient expression.

The female waitress held the pen and looked out the window as if nothing had happened. This was really dog ​​food.

"Well, let me think about it."

Cui Jing leaned forward a little, put her heads together, and pointed at the store’s main recommendation on the menu with her slender fingernails, but she couldn’t tell what it was from the name.

"Then let's have this one." After everyone took the order, the waiter left with the order form.

"Do you come here often?" After Cui Jing finished clicking, she saw a small patch of paint on the side of his face very close to her, like a blue mole under his eye.

“No, but the shops nearby will know a little bit.”

Cui Jing moved her hands, suppressing the urge to wipe off the paint, "There is paint on your face."

"Here." She raised her hand and pointed at her eyes. She looked up and saw Xue Yijie's focused gaze on her face. When she looked over, her eyes converged.

Xue Yijie looked away in panic. He wiped in the opposite direction, "Anything else?"

"It's this way." Cui Jing pointed under her eyes again, changed the direction, and did not look away.

Xue Yijie rubbed it a few more times with her hands, and the thin skin turned red, including his neck, protruding Adam's apple, and earlobes. He felt like he was burning up under her gaze, and asked in embarrassment.

"Ok?"

Cui Jing realized her own mischief, turned around, sorted out her thoughts, and took out a wet wipe from her bag.

Xue Yijie knew that it was not wiped clean, so she took it and said, "Thank you."

The redness on his ears never went down. Fortunately, the waiter came to rescue him in time, otherwise Cui Jing felt that he would almost die.

The male protagonist of the BL novel has very few contacts with girls.

"You two have coffee ready."

The waiter brought the coffee to the table one by one, and also served a plate of thick triangular cakes, a single flower in a transparent coffee cup, and a brown and green plaid ribbon tied on the top of the cup, which echoed the original wood-colored paper cup cover.

The waiter picked up Cui Jing's questioning gaze and explained, "Today is our store's anniversary event. This is a limited edition of black tea berry mousse and flowers for couples."

"us!"

Xue Yijie stopped talking for a moment and looked at Cui Jing for help. He didn't say the rest of the words, as if he was afraid of offending someone.

"We are friends." Cui Jing supported her chin and took over the conversation with a smile.

"Sorry! Sorry!" The waiter also looked helpless.

"It's okay." Cui Jing smiled at her gently, "Sorry, I have to take a call."

It was Mrs. Chen. Cui Jing saw that she didn’t answer several voice calls on WeChat and was afraid that she had something to ask.

The waiter saw that she didn't look angry and was dizzy with her smile. He was afraid that the head shift would know about this mistake, so he apologized, nodded, bowed, and ran away with the tray.

"What?" Cui Jing listened and took a sip of the coffee and then frowned. It turned out to be a cup of mint-flavored special coffee.

"I'm at an art exhibition with a friend you probably don't know."

"Okay, let's go to the same place as before. I want to get purple nails to match the mohair grey fall outfit I recently bought."

Cui Jing glanced at Xue Yijie and felt that he seemed to be able to breathe at last. She took out her cell phone and took a picture of the flowers outside the window. The composition was very beautiful.

Let him take it easy.

Her voice was sloppy and her expression was relaxed when she was on the phone. Xue Yijie supported her face and looked out the window.

His eyes were reflected in the glass window.

The bitterness in his eyes faded away, and his gaze was focused on... Cui Jing, who was reflected in the glass, with a kind of peaceful stickiness.

Xue Yijie felt the muscles on her face were a little sore because she wanted to laugh.

He liked her just by listening to her chatting.

Listen to her talk about boring things in life, where she went for fun, what style of nails she wanted, and she complained about the death of the flowers she had carefully cared for at home, while the Phoenix succulent plants left by the upstairs neighbor bloomed one pot after another.

He is not as shy and at a loss as he appears. There are not so many fates and coincidences in life.

The world is so small, yet so big.

When people get to know each other, there will be no story if they don't take the initiative. Cui Jing separated him and insisted on getting on the car. Afterwards, she went to visit the doctor with cigarettes and alcohol. When she went out, she ran into Qin Sheng. Behind her were two tall men carrying fruits, one of whom had a scar between his eyebrows.

Further ahead, Zhai Yang was talking to him in the ward. He tried his best to mock her and concentrate, but he could also get her message from her peripheral vision or voice.

She took the flyer for the playground.

——Do you want to go?

——In two days.

The emotion of liking makes people extremely sensitive. Even if he does nothing, the message from another person will penetrate into his mind like a demon.

He found Qin Sheng's circle of friends for an amusement park that he didn't locate, and bought a high-priced shortcut ticket from a scalper, but it turned out that he was smuggling by climbing over the wall. He found a high ground and squatted at a project that almost everyone would go to. It didn't matter how long he waited, and it didn't matter if he couldn't wait.

It was nice to be in the same place as her.

He was lucky. When he saw her being separated by the convoy, he rushed over with the ice cream in his hand. He raised his hand and hugged her easily. It was very hot. He quietly used one hand to support her when she was unsteady. In the sultry heat, his lips and the hand holding the ice cream were cool.

Cui Jing.

How long will it take for you to come towards me?

"Is your coffee good? Mine is so cold, it's mint." Cui Jing asked him after hanging up the phone, with obvious displeasure on her face. Her eyes were lazy and her lips were sarcastic and solemn. "I hate mint."

"Mine is pretty good." Xue Yijie actually didn't taste anything.

"Then I'll order yours next time. What did you order?"

Xue Yijie picked up the drink and took a sip, then relaxed after confirming that it was delicious. He pushed the menu over. The flowers on the table set off his clear features, and there was a hint of cold loneliness on the side of his lips.

"The one behind you."

It’s okay if you don’t leave. I’ll come find you.
