Such an awkward pick-up
Perhaps a coffee shop on a rainy day would be the best place for the hero and heroine to meet, but how can they start a conversation? Inspiration swirled in Liang Yi's mind, but he didn't know how to express it. Only by experiencing it personally could he know.
The 27-year-old Liang Yi took the initiative to approach a boy for the first time without any hesitation, and even the reason of providing material for her novel added fuel to her courage.
"Hello, handsome guy, it seems like we're destined to meet. We've run into each other many times this week." Liang Yi walked towards Huang Yiji with a smile on her face. "Can I sit here?"
Huang Yiji looked at Liang Yi in astonishment. It was unbelievable. This was the first time she was approached by a girl.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Liang Yi repeated her question when she saw Huang Yiji remained silent. She prayed that she would not be rejected.
"Of course." Huang Yiji only reacted when the voice sounded for the second time.
"Handsome guy, I'm curious why you always add coconut flakes to your coconut coffee. If you don't like coconut flakes, why do you order this?"
Liang Yi was a person who was very afraid of embarrassment. In order to make the atmosphere between the two of them lively, she first asked the question that she was most curious about.
“I actually like the taste of coconut water, and I wouldn’t mind pairing it with coffee, but the most important thing is that this coffee shop puts milk foam on top of the coconut water and coffee, so even if I don’t like coconut flakes, I’ll still order it.”
Huang Yijie gave the answer very seriously, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized,
"By the way, how did you know I always drink coconut coffee without the coconut?"
Liang Yi was quite happy that the topic could continue, and did not hide some of his own information.
"Because I work at this shop now, you're the first person I've met who orders coconut coffee without the desiccated coconut, so you left a deep impression on me."
Huang Yiji's brain seemed to be working very quickly. His eyes moved back and forth between Liang Yi and the cashier counter of the coffee shop, with a look of confusion on his face. Fortunately, Liang Yi quickly understood what he meant.
"This is my friend's shop, of course I can rest! Weekends are my days off."
After he finished speaking, Huang Yiji nodded but did not say anything else. At this time, Liang Yi was embarrassed and could not find a topic to talk about.
The awkwardness lasted for a few minutes before Huang Yijie took the lead and broke it. "Can I know your name?"
"Sure! My name is Liang Yi, which means handsome and elegant. What's yours?"
"Huang Yiji, the shining Yi, the outstanding Jie, that..."
"Can we add each other on WeChat?" They said this almost at the same time, and then they looked at each other and smiled. Perhaps it was a tacit understanding.
The conversation stopped at six o'clock when the rain stopped. It was time for them to go home. If it rained heavily again later, it would be difficult to go home. Both of them tacitly agreed that it was not appropriate to keep each other for dinner, after all, they had just met.
