Chapter 39
There are many people on the streets on weekends, and the weather is fine, there are many young couples shopping on the road, which is very lively. Ai Xiao took a taxi to the vicinity of the cafe. After getting off the bus, he walked along the stone bricks under the row of street lights. Among the pedestrians, he was so nervous that even the friction between his toes and his shoes became particularly sensitive.
There are still five street lights away, and she can walk to the cafe. I wonder if there is a goddess among these passers-by?
There were people coming and going in front of the cafe in sight, but no one stopped. Ai Xiao began to take small steps forward, dawdling. Looking away, I found that there were only 4 street lamps left.
Oops, is it too late to go back now? She stood still under the street lamp, her hands in the side pockets of her clothes clenched into fists unconsciously, her fingernails embedded in the soft flesh of her palms.
Or… the first time she meets an idol, should she prepare a gift or something? Will going directly like this reduce the impression score? But the goddess doesn’t seem to be someone who will compare these things. If the gift she gives is not pleasing, I am afraid it is better to be empty-handed.
Ai Xiao kept finding a reason for herself to escape, and finally raised her foot and moved forward to move the distance between the two street lamps.
There are still three street lamps… She looked down at her phone, and there were still twenty minutes before the appointment.
The spring sun isn’t too harsh, but it’s not comfortable either. Pulling down the cap, she paced and continued to walk forward. Finally, she reached the door of the cafe and looked around. She took a deep breath and sent a message to the goddess.
Daytime: I’m here…at the door…that…I’m wearing a white cap…tell me before you arrive…let me…be mentally prepared…
Yan Laishi: Okay, hahahaha.
Looking down at the corner of her clothes, Ai Xiao’s legs were a little soft, which made her unable to help but despise her own worthlessness. She didn’t know how long she had been standing, but the phone in her pocket vibrated, and she quickly took out her phone to check the news.
Yan Lai Shi: I’m almost there, are you ready?
Daytime: Ready!
Ai Xiao put down the phone and sighed inwardly—forget it, she wouldn’t be mentally prepared for this kind of face-to-face even if she stood here all day.
Yan Tang, who was not far away, saw her cute little gestures, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Ai Xiao usually wears cute clothes, but she still has a different feeling after she has carefully prepared it – she is more cute than usual, but like every previous meeting, it can make her feel the heartbeat.
She stood for a while, raised her feet and walked towards the person who exuded youth and girlishness all over her body.
Ai Xiao nervously waited for the arrival of the goddess, but she didn’t dare to look up, and kept her head down and silently said “don’t be nervous”. Soon, she heard someone walking towards her, the footsteps gradually became clear, and each step made her heart beat faster.
Is the goddess here…is the goddess here?
When the person came to stand in front of her, Ai Xiao’s heart froze, and she looked up as if dead. At the same time, Yan Tang put on an expression of surprise and confusion, and asked, “Are you a bitter day?”
Ai Xiao: “…”? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
She swiped countless question marks in her heart, opened her mouth to speak, but couldn’t say a word after holding it for a long time.
Why is Yantan coming! Why did she ask herself if it was a bitter day! Why is she dressed so nicely today!
Oh wait, that last question doesn’t count!
Ai Xiao stared at Yan Tang in astonishment, and the other party also looked at her in astonishment. The two stared at each other in disbelief outside the cafe for a long time, and Ai laughed so hard that he couldn’t believe such a coincidence in the world.
Although she didn’t believe it a hundred times in her heart, she had to admit that there was only one answer to the question, and that was—the so-called “Yantan” was Yantang.
Ai Xiao was about to cry stupidly by herself. Before, she thought that this junior sister’s neighbor sister and the goddess sounded alike, but later found out that the names were similar, and then later found that the two of them sounded like… Why is she so slow, it’s more than a resemblance, Yan Tang And “Yantan” is clearly the same person!
So, so, she has met her goddess countless times before? Have you seen all kinds of frustrations by the goddess? Will this be too bad? ! There is also the contrast between her online and real life, and she said different things to “Yantan” and the goddess Yan at the same time… Oh my god, it’s a shame! !
And then again, why did Junior Sister Yi Xian never say that her neighbor’s sister is called Yan Tang! Why did Goddess Yan lie to herself about what “Yantan” is! If Yi Xian had called out the other party’s name earlier, would she have made so many oolongs?
But does this also mean that she and the goddess have visited bookstores, drank coffee, attended classes, ate meals, bought fruits, and received cakes?
The sense of happiness suddenly rose, and she felt in a trance that she was now a winner in life.
But… Ai Xiao looked at Yan Tang, whose face was also full of shock, and knew for the first time that when a person was suddenly given another identity, the feeling of the other person was suddenly different.
When I saw this person before, I would sigh that the other person was good-looking, but when she asked if she was a bitter day, when Ai Xiao looked at her, the whole world was covered with a filter.
In her eyes, there is the most beautiful person in the world, and the person she likes.
Ai Xiao was dumbfounded and speechless, until she saw the smile on the other person’s face, and immediately lowered her head in a panic, holding her hat, hiding a pretty red face behind the shadows.
The silence had been long enough, Yan Tang guessed that she had already figured out her identity in her mind, so she said first, “I didn’t expect you to be a bitter day, what a coincidence.”
“I-I didn’t even think about it. I thought you were Yan Nu… Yan Tang.”
After Ai Xiao finished speaking, he was so angry. He had seen the person in front of him many times before, why did he still stutter?
“Stop standing at the door, go ahead and talk.” Yan Tang smiled lightly, and seemed to have adjusted his “surprise” mood, “Don’t be nervous, we’ve known each other for so long.”
Yes, she shouldn’t be nervous. Although she and Yan Tang are not familiar with each other, they have met so many times. Ai Xiao took a deep breath and walked into the cafe behind her.
“Where do you want to sit?” Yan Tang asked her after taking a few steps forward.
Ai Xiao thought about the ambiguous atmosphere between him and the goddess under the dim light before he thought about it…for a while, he wanted to shove his head into the wall.
She lowered her head and faltered, unable to say anything, Yan Tang smiled and said, “Just where I was last time.”
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
The voice belonging to the goddess resounded beside her, and the breath belonging to the goddess surrounded her. Ai Xiao felt like she was going to explode.
This time, Yan Tang did not brighten the dim light, and the ambiguous orange light flowed gently on the table, turning those unspeakable thoughts into the simplest silence.
The waiter came over and asked them if they wanted to order food. Ai Xiao sat upright and didn’t say a word. Yan Tang had to order the muffins and latte for her last time. When the waiter left, Yan Tang leaned forward, put his arms on the table and said, “You won’t be pretending to be an ostrich today, will you?”
“I, I didn’t…” Ai Xiao’s face became hot, especially when she realized that Goddess Yan was watching her, she was even more at a loss.
“Okay,” Yan Tang felt that he was still frightening the little ostrich, so he lowered his voice and smiled, and said, “Then is there anything you want to ask me?”
Her laughter fell into Ai Xiao’s ears, itchy, as if it fell on her heart. She picked up her jeans and whispered, “Why do you call yourself ‘Yantan’…”
Yan Tang replied with a serious face: “Because it was revealed that the circle name is the same as the real name, most of the time, I would say that my name is ‘Yan Tan’.” After she finished speaking, she made a note in her heart – this matter has to be with Yi Xian. Make a confession to save her from selling herself.
Ai Xiao nodded and asked again: “Yi Xian knows your identity, why hasn’t he called you by your name?”
“It’s an agreement. I’ve always been accustomed to separating the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, so let her pay more attention when addressing her.” She raised the corner of her mouth, and the arc of her smile under the dim light made Ai Xiao almost breathless.
Why is this person getting better and better looking, obviously I didn’t get along with these strange ideas before…
Before, I liked the goddess Yan, but I didn’t like “Yan Tan”. Now the two identities are merged into one. For a while, Ai Xiao felt that it was not good for her to secretly like Yi Xian’s neighbor sister, and then she felt that there was nothing wrong with what she liked. After all, she started to like Goddess Yan three years ago.
In this tangled state of mind, she couldn’t even think of a third question. The opposite Yan Tang clenched his left hand into a fist and covered his mouth with a smile: “Is there anything else to ask?”
“No, no…” Ai Xiao clenched her trousers tightly, and the piece that was caught was almost soaked in sweat, “I’m sorry, it’s the first time I’m facing the base, and I’m very nervous.”
Although it was a bit shameless to do so, Yan Tang still took out his usual voice in the second dimension and said, “Maybe you are more familiar with this voice, um… Would you relax a little when you talk like this?”
Ai Xiao: “…”
No! If you speak with a normal voice, she can deceive herself that the opposite is just “Yan Tan”. How could she relax now when she speaks with her most obsessed voice!
This voice is simply, simply foul!
Ai Xiao suddenly wanted to learn the “Pure Heart Mantra” that is often mentioned in Xiuxian novels. She was afraid that if she didn’t recite it a few times, even nosebleeds would flow out.
Small details that she hadn’t noticed before were magnified countless times in this space dedicated to the two of them. For the first time, she noticed that the person on the opposite side had such long eyelashes, and the sloping shadows made the eye sockets extraordinarily deep. There is also the hand against the tip of the nose, soft and slender, with a silver tail ring on the little finger, which seems to have some meaning.
Ai Xiao quietly looked at the person she had been secretly in love with for a long time, Yan Tang turned her eyes away after realizing this, so that she could see herself better.
God knows what’s so beautiful about the small dark green bonsai in her sight, but she was just afraid of scaring the little ostrich when she looked at each other.
This state continued until the waiter brought the coffee. Ai Xiao took the opportunity to follow her gaze, except that the bonsai was the wall, and she didn’t know what to see.
Is it because she can’t attract the attention of the goddess, she doesn’t even want to see herself more? Biting his lower lip lightly, Ai Xiao couldn’t help but think about it, but was suddenly called out by Yan Tang, “Mr. Ai?”
Ah ah ah ah ah!
It’s even more foul to call “Mr. Ai” in the voice of the goddess Yan!
Ai Xiao responded dumbly, then pretended to be calm to carry the coffee cup, but almost spilled the coffee.
Yan Tang didn’t seem to realize that the source of the tension was himself, and his smile deepened: “So, what should I call you in the future, should I continue to call Teacher Ai, or should I call you day?”
