Chapter 1310 Fu Yanchen, the Madman
"Ugh!"
Mo Shaoqing sighed deeply, his slightly regretful and helpless eyes fell directly on Xu Xiaoxiao, and he said slowly:
"Look here, Xu Xiaoxiao, tell me about yourself! Take a closer look at what you have become now. Back then, your slender hands were jumping and flying flexibly on the black and white piano keys."
"Every time my fingers press the keys, the sound is like a note from heaven, interweaving into beautiful melodies that touch the heart."
"But...what about now? You are trapped in such a small coffee shop, busy all day long making those sweet desserts and cups of fragrant coffee."
"The lively beauty that once flowed from the fingertips should have been the soul of countless moving melodies, but now they have been tainted by the worldly icing sugar and the rich aroma of coffee and have lost their former glory. It is really sad! Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Having said that, Mo Shaoqing couldn't help but shook his head again, his face full of emotion and sighs.
"Don't you really feel any regret at all?"
Mo Shaoqing's eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao, with indescribable complex emotions in his eyes, as if he could see the stories and secrets hidden in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes. What on earth had she experienced over the years?
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart was like a lake with a stone thrown into it, causing ripples that could not calm down for a long time.
Mo Shaoqing gazed at the warm and literary coffee shop in front of him, imagining how Xu Xiaoxiao was busy here day after day.
The aroma of coffee fills this small space, which seems to conceal the ambitions that have been buried by the years.
He really couldn't understand what made Xu Xiaoxiao make such a choice?
She obviously has such outstanding talents, whether in piano or painting, her skillful hands that can create miracles, but now...
However, now she is content with this quiet corner, running a coffee shop that seems to be getting further and further away from her dream.
It is especially regrettable when you think of her superb piano skills.
Whenever he recalled the scene of her sitting on the piano stool, her hands dancing gracefully between the black and white keys, playing beautiful notes like the sound of nature, he couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate.
How could Xu Xiaoxiao, who was so talented and should have shined on the stage, be willing to bury her own light? Why did all this happen?
Whenever his eyes inadvertently swept across Xu Xiaoxiao's slender and long hands, the beautiful memories of the past came to his mind like a bursting dam tide.
"Xu Xiaoxiao, don't you really remember? What made me so fascinated by you in the beginning?"
He asked softly, with a hint of expectation and tenderness in his eyes.
However, Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head in bewilderment and murmured, "Well... I really don't know."
Her cute and lovely appearance makes people want to tease her.
"Oh, look at you, you little fool. How could you forget such an important thing?"
Mo Shaoqing smiled helplessly, then slowly began to recall,
"It was a sunny afternoon with a gentle breeze, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in warm golden light. At that time, you were still a chubby, round child, with an innocent smile on your face, holding a colorful lollipop in your hand, and jumping on the road. At that moment, my eyes happened to fall on you, and then I couldn't look away. From then on, I knew that this chubby but extremely cute little girl would become a unique landscape in my life."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao said, "Didn't you say that my piano attracted you? How come it became a lollipop again?" Xu Xiaoxiao didn't understand. Although she was a little fat when she was a child, it was not too much.
Mo Shaoqing smiled, "I was teasing you. It was indeed the piano. You were sitting in front of that simple piano, your fingers were long and even, like a work of art carefully carved by God. They gently fell on the keys, and then, strings of beautiful notes flowed out like spring water. You looked so focused that it seemed as if the whole world had stopped."
"At that moment, my heart was completely won over by you. Your every move, every look, was deeply imprinted in my heart. From then on, I could no longer cast my eyes on other women. This emotion, like an invisible shackle, bound me tightly. Whenever I think of this, I can't help but smile bitterly. I fell into the sea of love..."
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,
"Xiaoxiao, now, when you step into this coffee shop, a faint sadness will rise like smoke, lingering in every corner. That sadness is not strong and pungent, but like a gentle nocturne, quietly flowing in the air."
Wherever Mo Shaoqing looked, there seemed to be traces left by time.
The retro walls were slightly yellowed, and the wooden tables and chairs gave off an old smell. Even the cup of coffee that had just been served seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, with wisps of hot steam rising up and blurring the vision.
Through the window, one can see pedestrians hurrying on the street, but their figures seem illusory and cannot break the sadness that permeates the store.
The sunlight shone in obliquely and sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, but these light and shadows did not bring much warmth, but instead added a bit of loneliness.
Mo Shaoqing sighed softly, and the sigh seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart, carrying with it endless nostalgia and helplessness.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
The past time was like an old movie, playing in front of his eyes. The laughter, tears, quarrels, reconciliations... everything appeared so clearly in his mind, making him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
"Xiaoxiao." Mo Shaoqing moved, like a breeze, and instantly grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly cold little hand.
His eyes were deep, as if hiding endless tenderness and determination, and he looked directly into Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly confused eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly, what is it about Fu Yanchen that makes you like him so much?"
Mo Shaoqing spoke slowly, his voice was low and extremely magnetic, as if every word was carefully crafted, containing an irresistible and unquestionable powerful force.
He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction.
Xu Xiaoxiao, “,,,,I don’t know either, some things…” Xu Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
"Hmph, if you ask me, this guy has so many bad habits that I can't even count them all! He thinks he can get away with it just because he has a pretty good-looking body and the smell of money all over his body! Hmph, I really don't know where he gets his confidence from."
Xu Xiaoxiao: “,,,,,” He is indeed confident.
Mo Shaoqing continued, "He's just a little more handsome and has a little money. Apart from that, does he have any other outstanding advantages? Moreover, his temper is so bad that it's unbearable! He's like a powder keg, and he will explode instantly if he's not satisfied. He always frowns and shows his color to others, as if the whole world owes him something."
At this point, Mo Shaoqing couldn't help but shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Indeed, he has a bad temper."
Mo Shaoqing gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, as if to pass on his warmth and strength to her, "Xiaoxiao, forget about him. You deserve better, you know? I am actually a very good choice. I may not be as dazzling as him, but I will treat you with my heart and prove everything with my actions.
Xu Xiaoxiao took back her phone,,,,she,,,didn't like it,,,,
Mo Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then he paused, his eyes became more determined, and continued:
"Xu Xiaoxiao, listen to my advice!" Mo Shaoqing said.
"Oh! Why?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Let me tell you, Fu Yanchen is really not an ordinary person."
"Why is it not simple?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Look at his face. It looks like it was carefully designed. The deep eyes, the high nose bridge, the slightly upturned mouth corners, every part of it exudes fatal attraction."
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "You observe very carefully!"
"Of course... No, let's talk business... In addition, he is very wealthy, and his innate nobleness is impossible to ignore. From the outside, he is indeed so bright and beautiful, like a dazzling star, making people want to get closer to him and feel his dazzling light."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Indeed."
"So, you girls are short-sighted. Once you are deceived by his charming appearance and rush towards him recklessly, what awaits you will be endless darkness and pain."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and admitted it.
"Right? Do you know why? Because everything that seems beautiful is just a veil of illusion. Hidden behind it is a bottomless abyss of no return. When you are really trapped in it and suddenly realize it, it is too late. You can only sink deeper and deeper and it is difficult to extricate yourself."
"So, Xiaoxiao, you must wake up! Don't be sad and worry about someone who is not worthy of your true love. Believe me, as long as you can let go of this wrong relationship and look forward bravely, there will be better people and things waiting for you in the future!"
At this moment, the air around seemed to be cast with some mysterious magic, becoming extremely solemn, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Only Mo Shaoqing's affectionate words, like melodious music, kept echoing in Xu Xiaoxiao's ears.
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be under a spell. She stood there blankly, staring straight at Mo Shaoqing in front of her.
An indescribable complex emotion flashed across her beautiful eyes.
There was surprise and doubt, but there was not the slightest subtle heartbeat.
Mo Shaoqing, on the other hand, was like a steady mountain, sitting quietly opposite Xu Xiaoxiao.
He leaned forward slightly, his hands naturally placed on his knees, his eyes never leaving Xu Xiaoxiao.
His eyes were as clear as water, yet contained endless expectations and unwavering determination, as if he wanted to see through Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes and directly into her truest thoughts deep in her heart.
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with helplessness and determination, and she said softly: "Mo Shaoqing, we are not suitable."
Although her voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable firmness.
After hearing this, Mo Shaoqing's eyes, which were originally as deep as a pool of water, suddenly deepened in color, as if they contained endless secrets and complex emotions.
He just stared at Xu Xiaoxiao's pretty face, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her soul.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a faint, elusive smile, and he said softly: "Xu Xiaoxiao, in fact, from your words, I can sense that deep in your heart you still have a special feeling for him."
"That's why you said this, trying to hide your true thoughts and ideas deep in your heart."
"But on my side, you see, I have spoken so directly. Not only that, but there is even a hint of disrespect and insult towards Fu Yanchen in it."
"Well, I can hear that you have great hostility towards him."
"Yes, but even so, you... oh my, you almost did it. I was afraid that I would be completely fooled by your seemingly calm and uneventful appearance! Xu Xiaoxiao, you... you still have him in your heart..."
There was a hint of teasing and seriousness in his tone, and his eyes flashed with an all-knowing light, as if he had already seen through Xu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer him directly, but just sighed softly and changed the subject:
"Okay, Mo Shaoqing, the two of us... it's impossible. Besides, I don't want to think about any messy things right now. I just want to live an ordinary life. If you come to play, have fun. I welcome you. I'll pay for the food and drinks."
"The boss is generous." Mo Shaoqing joked.
"Shut up. Even eating can't shut your mouth. Stop bothering me. Have fun by yourself. I'm leaving. There's coffee brewing in the kitchen."
Having said that, she turned around and walked away, but her steps seemed a little heavy.
Mo Shaoqing looked at her departing back, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao still had Fu Yanchen's shadow in her heart. Alas, he would not poach her. He didn't want to mess with that lunatic Fu Yanchen.
