Meeting you around the corner is what I have been waiting for

Dear, where are you? I waited for a long, long time, more than twenty years, so long that I thought you would never show up.

Dear, where are you? Are you also waiting for me to appear? Are you confused by the flowers on the road? Are you waiting for me to lead you home?

Dear, where are you? Do you know that I'm looking for you? I'm waiting for you at the crossroads. I don't know which way to go, waiting for you to lead me in one direction.

Dear, where are you? Are you curious about me? What kind of girl am I? Are you too uncertain about our future?

Dear, where are you? Don't be afraid, fate will not separate us, and the hardships of life will not make us drown in the sea of ??people, because I will find you and face it with you.

What a beautiful wish this is, I also hope my dear can find me soon. Because I waited for a long time, I thought I would never love again.

That day, it was drizzling, and I was walking alone on the street corner. With that careless glance, you crashed into my heart. Your smile was so warm, and the person opposite you Girls should be very happy, because the smiles on your lips are so soft and sweet that people can't bear to disturb you.

The second time I saw you, it was still at that street corner, in that coffee shop. You were the only one that day. Why were you frowning? Where did the girl who was with you last time go? Who are you? Not worried about her? I couldn't help but stop and think, couldn't help walking into the coffee shop, and sat down not far from you. You were still sitting in the same seat as last time.

I am a frequent visitor here. I haven’t been here for coffee for a while because of a business trip. My little sister kindly asked me how I am doing recently. She guessed me when she saw that I kept looking in your direction. meaning. She said you only came here recently because this coffee shop has a beautiful story.

It is said that couples who successfully propose in this coffee shop will get married and have a happy marriage. This is the boss's special emotional experience, so the name of this coffee shop is "Encounter on the Corner" you".

The last time you came here, you brought your girlfriend with you. Of course, the purpose was to propose to her. With your romantic move, the employees of this coffee shop all know the story between you. . You are childhood sweethearts. You grew up together, went to school together, caught mud together, and played home wine together. It is quite sweet like "a man comes riding a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to make green plums." You have believed that she is your bride since you were a child. I was very moved after hearing this, and also felt a little sour in my heart. Then when I first meet you, you are ready to propose to her. So why are you here yourself this time, your bride?

The girl said that actually the proposal that day was the most incredible scene since the opening of this coffee shop, because the girl neither agreed nor rejected you, she just looked at you quietly, It seems that I can see another person through you. I can't even guess what your mood is. Later, the girl answered a phone call and left. No one here knows what your follow-up will be. You just sat here all afternoon and ordered two cups of khakibuno. When you finally left, the coffee was cold but you didn’t take a sip. khakibuno must have been that girl’s favorite taste. You were mourning your love for her. Feelings, or regret?

The cold coffee and the ending of the plot played over and over again in my mind.

I didn’t pay attention, just treating this feeling as an unexpected encounter.

It was really a surprise to see you for the third time. It was at the signing of my new book. It was also a light rainy day. The crowds were leaving one after another. The day's activities made me a little tired. I had to rush to the coffee shop to negotiate with the proprietress. They wanted more People know that their baby is coming into this world, and this is the first gift they give to their baby. They hope to tell their stories through my words. Before I walked out of the hotel, my assistant looked at me in embarrassment: "Qingqing, there is a book fan over there who came late and said he must see you. I told him that the event has ended long ago, and you have Things are about to go. But he doesn’t believe it. He said that you must be here if he didn’t see you leaving the hotel. His attitude is that he must see you and ask for your signature.”

In fact, this is not true. This kind of thing is very common, and it surprises me that the person is you.

But the surprise was only for a moment. I still signed for you very quickly. When I was about to collect the pen, you asked me if I could write a sentence for you: Qingqing, you will always be my bride. I will wait for you for a long time. I will wait for you for a long time. I was surprised. This girl must be lucky because there is a boy waiting for her. You gave me a thoughtful look, took the book and left.

By the time I walked out of the coffee shop, it was already late at night. Walking slowly along the street and walking back slowly is the most pleasant time of my day and my favorite thing. Thinking of my parents at home, I guess they are talking about me again at this time. I am already 28 this year, and my life-long affairs have not yet been settled. I have also tried blind dates in my hometown. After seeing a few people, I didn't feel anything, so they gave up. .

Fate has not come yet, or maybe I have been affected by writing too many love-hate entanglements between men and women, and I have underestimated the relationship. I have been single for five years since my last relationship. I have been vacant for five years, and my family and friends are all worried about me.

Regarding my last relationship, I didn’t tell the people around me about the reasons for our separation. Everyone felt sorry for me to give up that excellent boy. That boy was very kind to me, had a good family background, and was in good condition. He and I broke up peacefully after two years of ordinary life. We both understand that we are not the best fit for each other. He likes to be lively and I like to be quiet. The most important thing is that we don't feel right about each other. Facing him, I can't put too much passion into it, and he can't arouse my inner enthusiasm for him.

That day, he said to me very calmly, let’s separate. I finally found my girl. She is a completely different type from you. She can arouse the passion in my heart. I think Be nice to her, I want to be with her. The two of us have been like friends and family for two years, and I am happy for him. In the few years after we separated, I had occasional contact with that boy, and I also knew his girl. Privately, our relationship was pretty good. I saw their deep affection and tenderness for each other in the girl's eyes.

I am still single, and people around me are getting married and having children. Even my best friend Dangdang is newly married. She is nagging in my ear the benefits of marriage. She said I know you are waiting for your fate to come. , you expect to be like the heroine in your novel, like the coffee shop owner and his wife, waiting for each other to meet each other at the most suitable time. But that was in the world of books. In reality, love like the couple who owns a coffee shop is rare. You should still find someone to live with and take care of you.

Dangdang is considered someone who understands me. She will only talk like this and will not stop me from being single. I am indeed waiting for someone, someone who I don’t even know where he is, when he will show up, or when I will wait. But I still don't mind waiting, hoping to meet you around the corner.

The scenery was just right at that time, the sun was bright and as soft as the smile on your face, there was no one else around you, only me. At the corner, you said to me that I was finally waiting for you. I waited for a long, long time, but I never missed you. I will also tell you that I have been waiting for a long time, just to wait for you to come and come into my life.

As the end of the year approaches, I also welcome my twenty-ninth birthday. My parents have given me a warning that I must go home to celebrate my birthday this year. It has been many years since I celebrated my birthday with them. I am used to spending it alone and living alone. It's probably not as simple as just going home to celebrate your birthday, there must be some aftermath. They are anxious, looking at the peers around them who have become grandparents, grandpas and grandpas. Every time they look at other people's children, they are envious. Where is my daughter's child? I heard that giving birth to a child over thirty is an advanced maternal age and the risk factor is high. Moreover, they only have one child. In this regard, I am indeed a bit unfilial.

It’s not that they have no chance to have another child. It was because I gave up. Now that they have retired, I am used to living alone outside, and I rarely spend time with them in a year. This time I Let's go and see what they want. There are many opportunities and many reasons for rejecting those who are not suitable.

That day, it didn’t rain anymore and it was a rare sunny day. Wearing plain clothes and light makeup, we went out to keep the appointment. The appointment place was also a cafe. The style was not bad, but it was still a bit inferior to "I met you around the corner". It was a quarter of an hour after ten o'clock, and I thought to myself that if that person didn't show up in five minutes, I would leave.

The wind chimes tinkled, and it was time for someone to appear. I looked down at the interview transcript over there, and suddenly a shadow blocked my light and I glanced up. I haven't had that heart-pounding feeling for a long time. I don't know if it was fate, because the person in front of me is you. I wonder if you came to visit me on behalf of someone else, because in my impression, the relationship between you and me is thousands of miles apart. You and I have never known each other. We are just strangers who we have met a few times, purely you. You are a fan of my books. I am simply fascinated by your stories. It is a pure relationship. The relationship between my parents is not that great. They are just retired people's teachers.

However, since you are here, it doesn’t matter to me. I came here originally for business, and it would be a good choice to have someone chat with me to pass the time. A very popular opening line, "Hello, I am Yunchen. Are you my blind date today? The last time we met was at your book fan club. I never imagined that the world is so small."

This gentleman , am I familiar with you? Reciprocity was reciprocated, "I am Shuqing. I did meet you last time. I never thought the world is so small. It is my honor to meet you." You exchanged polite words one after another, and in the end you laughed and said, since we We all know each other, so there is no need to be so polite when coming and going. Just chat as if we are meeting friends.

You are a talkative person, and as long as the topic starts, you will not stop until there is no result. I didn’t expect that you have so many interests. You can be regarded as a kindred spirit of mine. Moreover, you understand my words very well and always speak to my heart. Time flies by very quickly. It is a pleasure to chat with you. I am quite satisfied with today’s meeting.

We exchanged contact information, and you asked me for a date next time. I dare not think that your behavior means that you are interested in me. You are in this city, and my current focus of life is still in another city. The chance of us meeting is not very high. Even if I am attracted to you, I still dare not expect too much.

In the evening, I told my best friend about this and how I felt about you. His evaluation of you was like a wolf waiting for an opportunity. I had met my fate. I don’t understand what Dangdang means by saying this. After all, at this stage we are just friends who have just met and talked to each other for a few words, which is better than strangers.

To my surprise, I received a call from my parents again, which meant that you have a good impression of me and hope to have more opportunities to get in touch with each other. Since you can get my address through them, please Only my parents and a few people know my address. You impressed me.

The next day, you appeared in front of my door, carrying the specialties my parents asked you to hand over, and entered my boudoir. You were the first person of the opposite sex to enter this place, except for Besides my dad, I feel like I also recognized it and silently gave you the privilege because you didn’t sit for a long time that day. Every time there is one, there are two. You found many excuses for a long time, and the number of times and time you stayed in my boudoir became more and more, and the time became longer and longer. In my unconsciousness, you took me out of my boudoir and stepped into the corner. Coffee shops, walking through every corner of this city, unknowingly invade my space and time, my heart, and my circle of friends.

What is even more inseparable from you is that my stomach is conquered by your cooking skills. You clearly know that my cooking skills are zero. People ask me where the cleanest place in my house is, and I say it’s the kitchen. No one believes me, because women are more or less good at cooking, and the kitchen is a woman’s world. I'm a kitchen idiot, and any kitchen I've ever attacked must be a battlefield. My mother said that if I don't find a man who can cook in the future, I will definitely starve to death. It's a miracle that I can still be fair and tender after so many years, and God won't even look at it.

Your cooking skills are the most popular with me, and I’m not saying that in a pretentious way, because apart from writing, my biggest thing is eating. I’m a seasoned foodie, but I’m also very picky. Things that can keep me as a repeat customer for a long time, the corner coffee shop is an exception, and you have created the second exception. Every time I receive a call from you, I always ask if you have invented a new dish today to reward me. You invaded my heart, settled in my boudoir, and quietly added your traces without leaving a trace. Of course, it was only limited to my downstairs at that time.

Today the same scene is repeated again, but the protagonists are changed to you and me. It’s still the same coffee shop, the same seat I always sit at, and the bystanders are still the proprietress, his wife and the little girl. You kneel on one knee Come on, tell me, marry me, I will be good to you and will always be good to you.

I have waited for a long, long time, and finally I am waiting for you, and I have not missed you in the end. It was that last sentence that made me decide that I wanted to be with you.

Then one day, we were sitting in the same old spot in the corner coffee shop. I was typing my words, and you sat next to me and looked at me quietly, Let me ask you something, do you know when I first saw you? You pretended to be surprised and asked, wasn't the first time we met at your book signing? Shaking my head gently, I pointed to the corner. I was standing at that corner. When I saw you for the first time, you were acting out a proposal with your childhood sweetheart. Tell me honestly, are you still there? Thinking about her?

You just hugged me gently, Qing Qing, Qing Qing, you don’t know how many years it took me to get into your heart. The plot arranged that day was just to make you notice me and pay attention. Because of me, our second and third meetings were specially arranged by me. Not to mention how much effort I put into convincing your parents to arrange such a blind date, and how much I did to get your parents to entrust you to my care.

But I don’t understand. I’m sure I didn’t know you before?

Of course you don’t know me, but the day I accidentally saw you at that corner, I was already sure that you were the one I was waiting for. That day, you were sitting in this position, your hands were dancing quickly on the keyboard, and the afternoon sun was shining on you. You chuckled, frowned, and bit your lip from time to time. These small movements attracted my attention, and my The heart beats. I consider myself a lonely person. For so many years, no one has been able to get close to me except the Qingmei you mentioned. Everyone thought it was because of my Qingmei that I was like this. It's my nature, and when I saw you, I realized that there was still someone who could warm my heart.

So I played a trick with the proprietress and his wife. I bought all your books, went to every one of your book signings and fan meetings, and studied your psychology. How much effort was spent on it? I just brought you into my arms. I gave up my career for you. You have to be kind to me in the future.

The sentence I asked you to write at the book signing was a hint. Since you pretend not to understand, how could I have gone through so many wrongful paths otherwise. Going to the kitchen for you and being teased by your mother-in-law will definitely turn you into a henpecked husband. I never pay attention to these trivial things. It doesn’t matter who pays how much for whom, we are together is the best ending. I will be good to you, very good to you. I hug you back tightly.

Yes, no matter who of us meets whom first, who entangles whom first, or who pays how much, being together is the best ending. This coffee shop is the place where we fell in love. His name is not without reason, and we have become one of the representatives here.

Meeting you at the corner is my happiness. I am very lucky. I fell in your eyes at that time, and you also found me. You were willing to do so much for me and waited for me for so long. I am also grateful to myself for waiting for so many years and finally waiting for you.
