Chapter 65
Leng Qingxiu and Li Qingzhu went home after shopping.
After returning home, Li Qingzhu went straight to the kitchen.
Leng Qingxiu wanted to tell her not to be so anxious and to take a rest first.
Before he could say anything, he saw Li Qingzhu coming in with the things she bought from the mall.
Seeing her serious attitude, Leng Qingxiu raised his eyebrows slightly. To be honest, Li Qingzhu's action pleased Leng Qingxiu.
Despite some unpleasant incidents just now, he still felt an indescribable surprise in his heart when he saw Li Qingzhu do what she said and actually go to the kitchen to make coffee.
This kind of surprise is not kept in the dark, he also knows what the surprise is, but because the person who creates the surprise is different, the surprise and the joy will be magnified.
Leng Qingxiu leaned against the door wall and saw that Li Qingzhu had tied her hair up and was now collecting coffee powder.
"When did you buy a coffee machine at home?"
Li Qingzhu received the coffee powder and used a coffee tamper to flatten it.
"It's probably been a few years. I don't know. Aunt Zhao is usually in charge of the shopping."
Leng Qingxiu approached and saw Li Qingzhu frothing milk in front of the coffee machine. He praised her, "You're quite good at it. You've really learned something."
Hearing the praise, Li Qingzhu turned around and gave Leng Qingxiu a smug smile.
"Before we opened, our barista and I, the girl I told you about tonight, taught me how to make latte art."
"Her name is quite nice, Lan Fu."
Lan Fu was someone Li Qingzhu found online. She had been learning how to make coffee for two or three years.
Normally, when opening a coffee shop, the owner would do everything himself to save the cost of hiring people, but Li Qingzhu was a complete novice in the coffee business and had to rely on professionals.
Anyway, she has enough funds, so it doesn't cost much to hire someone.
"I asked Lan Fu to try a lot of coffee, and I think her mocha is pretty good."
Leng Qingxiu watched as Li Qingzhu was about to get some milk foam, clearly finishing up, "So you're making mocha now?"
Li Qingzhu saw Leng Qingxiu's puzzled look and replied, "No, I forgot to buy chocolate sauce."
"So, I have no choice but to make you a latte." Li Qingzhu leaned close to Leng Qingxiu's face and said with innocent eyes.
"What kind of latte art do you want?" she asked, turning her head. "Tree-shaped latte art?"
"Anything is fine."
"Just watch and do whatever you learn."
Leng Qingxiu crossed his arms and looked at her calmly. When his eyes caught sight of her frothing milk, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
This milk foam is whipped like cream, what kind of patterns can be produced?
He didn't say this for fear of affecting Li Qingzhu's creative enthusiasm and production mood.
Li Qingzhu was confused by his smile, but then she turned her attention to her coffee. She had wanted to make a leaf latte art, but it seemed like the foam she had just made was too thick, making it difficult to form a pattern in the cup when she poured it.
In this way, she might not be able to make leaf latte art.
Li Qingzhu thought of hook flower.
She left a spoonful of milk foam and poured the rest in to mix with the coffee. She used the spoonful of milk foam to make five white dots on the surface of the coffee, then took the back of a thin spoon and used it to hook the white dots, barely forming five heart-shaped patterns.
"Yes, try it?"
Leng Qingxiu glanced at the five hearts on the coffee, then looked at Li Qingzhu, and stayed on her face for a few seconds.
I saw that her eyes were like lights and her smile was crescent.
A little sweet.
Leng Qingxiu tried to take a sip, but it was too greasy and had too much milk foam.
Maybe she likes sweet drinks.
Leng Qingxiu took another sip and then put the coffee down.
"How is it? Is it hard to drink?"
Li Qingzhu saw that he only drank two sips, so he must have done something wrong.
"good."
In fact, no matter how the ingredients of this coffee are mixed, it will not be too bad to drink. It just depends on whether it suits your personal taste.
It’s okay, but not great. Li Qingzhu knows that her level is not high, so she is not sad to get such feedback.
Then, she saw Leng Qingxiu roll up his sleeves, pick up the coffee beans and grind them into powder, as if he wanted to make coffee too.
"You can make coffee?" Li Qingzhu exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world.
She had never seen Leng Qingxiu make coffee, at least during the time they were together, she had never seen him touch the coffee machine.
"I learned it abroad," Leng Qingxiu said. "I'm too lazy to cook, so I only make it when I have time."
Leng Qingxiu showed a section of his fair arm. Li Qingzhu turned her head and saw that he was wearing a watch on his left wrist. She exclaimed, "Huh?" and said, "Your watch is very similar to mine." She leaned closer to take a closer look and found that the color of this watch was the same as hers, but the dial was a circle larger than hers.
Seeing that Li Qingzhu had discovered it, Leng Qingxiu even extended his hand to show her again, "It's the one I bought with your watch last time."
"It's exactly the same as mine." She subconsciously held Leng Qingxiu's wrist, wanting to see the pattern inside.
A strange touch appeared on his wrist, and Leng Qingxiu didn't reject her touch. He looked down and saw Li Qingzhu studying the pattern on the watch, thinking: Is it so hard to tell that they are a pair?
Leng Qingxiu wore this watch after the wedding, but Li Qingzhu didn't pay attention to his watch, so she never noticed it.
Leng Qingxiu glanced at her wrist and didn't find any jewelry on her hand. He found an excuse for her in his heart, but he was still a little annoyed.
Li Qingzhu didn't notice Leng Qingxiu looking at her wrist again, so she asked, "Couple's pair?"
Now, she found Leng Qingxiu's expression somewhat intriguing, with an unstoppable smile in his eyes.
She thought Leng Qingxiu was just a little interested in her, and she wouldn't think he liked her just because of a gift. Now, seeing the same watch, her heart felt like a firework was exploding, but the person who lit it didn't know what was going on in her heart.
"How can it be called a couple watch if you don't even wear it?" Leng Qingxiu pretended to be complaining and picked up the cup to make milk foam.
Li Qingzhu saw that he looked like he was angry with her, but he pretended to ignore her and went about his business. She was a little stunned. Was he throwing a tantrum?
She was surprised to hear these words pop up in her mind. She then looked at him pressing the coffee powder with an expressionless face. His movements were very quick, and then he moved on to the next step.
"I'll wear it tomorrow!" Li Qingzhu gently tugged at his sleeve, opened her mouth, and asked in disbelief, "Are you unhappy?" Listening carefully to her words, there was a hint of happiness in her tone.
Leng Qingxiu paused while pouring the foamed milk. Seeing that she looked like she had done something wrong, he put down his things and turned to face her. He said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Can't you tell I'm acting?"
Li Qingzhu was stunned: "I didn't see that."
Then she thought he was really angry. It was true, she just didn't wear the watch he gave her, so why would he be angry? What was there to be angry about?
If he likes me, it is normal for him to show feelings of loss and sadness now.
But she didn't know what Leng Qingxiu meant to her.
His anger was acted, but she was a little angry.
"You are quite childish." Li Qingzhu replied angrily.
"Okay, I shouldn't joke with you."
"I was childish."
Leng Qingxiu found it very easy to make Li Qingzhu angry. He didn't find her behavior annoying at all, but rather found it cute and wanted to tease her.
If you touch on her unhappy point, she will immediately get angry. She won’t say it out loud, but Leng Qingxiu can also know why she is angry.
People tend to feel sad and have small emotions about the people and things they care about. This shows that Li Qingzhu cares about him the last time.
Leng Qingxiu made an "eh" sound, as if sighing.
He pulled her over and kissed her forehead, "Don't be angry."
The sunset outside the window has already set, and a few fiery clouds are hanging in the dim sky.
Leng Qingxiu's kiss came so suddenly that Li Qingzhu blinked, a bit dazed. After a moment's pause, she realized what was happening and her face flushed red like the clouds outside the window.
"Have you coaxed her?" He asked knowingly, observing with interest Li Qingzhu's cheeks that turned pink in an instant, and asked her back.
"Yeah." Li Qingzhu responded with her head down, as if shy, her voice neither loud nor soft.
Leng Qingxiu continued what he had just stopped doing, picking up the cups containing milk foam and coffee liquid with both hands.
When he was pouring milk foam, Li Qingzhu leaned closer to take a look.
She saw his hand moving a cup of foamed milk back and forth over another cup, and when the movement ended, a brown rose blossomed on the surface of the liquid.
While Leng Qingxiu was making latte art, he smelled the perfume on Li Qingzhu. This morning, when he came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting at the dressing table and sprayed it. He casually asked, and the answer was rose.
When she approached him just now, he remembered what happened this morning. The pitiful look of Li Qingzhu lying on the bed flashed through his mind, and a hint of evil desire suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Leng Qingxiu took a deep breath, his tone indifferent, and tilted his head to ask her: "Would you like to try it too?"
Li Qingzhu raised her head and met Leng Qingxiu's deep eyes.
She took the coffee and took a sip. It had a slight taste of coffee and a strong taste of fresh milk.
Li Qingzhu then took two sips. It was very sweet, the taste she liked.
It feels like this cup has more milk foam than hers.
Seeing that she was enjoying her drink, Leng Qingxiu also picked up his cup and continued drinking. He pursed his lips after each sip, as if savoring the taste.
Li Qingzhu saw his frown and chuckled, "Cheers?"
Leng Qingxiu reached over and gently touched the wall of the cup, then heard her say softly, "After you touch it, you must finish it."
Li Qingzhu's little trick had worked, and she immediately smiled happily. She said to him, "Actually, the sweet ones are quite delicious."
The two of them stood together, each holding the coffee made by the other, sometimes looking up or down at each other, and occasionally smiling at each other.
The coffee tonight is very sweet, sweet to the heart.
After they finished drinking, Leng Qingxiu took her cup and washed it together.
Li Qingzhu stood behind and admired the man's back for a while. It turned out that men who work seriously are really handsome.
After Leng Qingxiu finished washing the cups, he noticed Li Qingzhu looking at him eagerly. He thought for a moment and said, "The coffee my wife made tonight was delicious."
Remembering that she was angry just now, he added, "I like it very much."
Hearing Leng Qingxiu's unconscionable words, Li Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh, "Telling lies, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Leng Qingxiu: "It doesn't hurt."
Li Qingzhu: “…”
"Do we have to get up early tomorrow morning?" Leng Qingxiu saw that it was already dark, and he couldn't help but look at his watch. It was 7:13, not too late.
"What are you going to do?" Li Qingzhu still remembered the ridiculous thing that happened this morning, and her face suddenly became embarrassed and annoyed.
Leng Qingxiu looked at her and knew she was thinking the wrong thing. He lowered his head and smiled, "I want to take you for a morning run. Do you want to go?"
He just wanted to do something with her. Would it feel different if there was someone else accompanying him?
