Tidal Silence

"The Silent Place of Tides" - When the iceberg boy broke into her peaceful world Have you ever thought that life would take a sudden turn for you? Tang Linchu met him. She is a quite ordinary girl. In Haicheng, a slow-paced coastal town, she runs a cafe called "Slow Time" for her cousin who is far away from abroad. The days passed like the coffee in the shop, lukewarm, calm, and without any disturbance. Until that rainy afternoon. A boy who looked to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old broke in. He was soaked to the skin and extremely embarrassed. He huddled in the booth in the corner, burying his face and shrugging his shoulders. What's going on? It's not like she's never seen a sad customer before, but this is the first time for a boy who looks so good-looking and cries so... Indifferently. She hesitated for a moment, then handed over a glass of warm water. He didn't raise his head or touch the glass of water, he just stayed there, like a little stray dog ​​abandoned by the whole world. What was even more unexpected was that not long after, the boy actually appeared in her shop again and asked her awkwardly if she needed a part-time job! His name is Shen Qing. The name is quite nice, and the person's appearance is even more difficult to choose from, but he is too boring, talks very little, and always seems to have deep thoughts hidden in his eyes. Tang Linchu originally didn't want to cause trouble, but seeing the cautious expectation in his eyes, he nodded by mistake. Now the peaceful life is finally over. Shen Qing is a walking mystery. In school, he was a cool school boy who was sought after by countless girls. He was merciless when receiving love letters, but he just threw them in the trash can without even reading them. But in the "slow time", he was a silent and serious wage earner, learning to make coffee meticulously, and occasionally the tips of his ears would turn red because of her compliments. The contrast is frightening. Slowly, Tang Linchu also felt something. This kid's family is definitely not simple. Sure enough, his grandma, who was wearing a cheongsam and had an aura of 2.8 Meters, came to the door soon. She expressed disgust in her words, thinking that her small temple could not accommodate Shen Qing's big Buddha, and wanted to take him back. His father died young and his mother ran away. As the sole heir, his life had been clearly arranged and he had to follow the rules even to take a breath. Who hasn't ordered it yet? She decided that she would take care of this "trouble". "Slow time" does nothing else but give people a little freedom to breathe. The days go by like this, with one quietly managing and the other silently accompanying. In the aroma of coffee, both of them had broken hearts, and they got closer without realizing it. It's hard to tell who started that kind of feeling. It's like slowly brewing coffee, and the aroma spreads little by little. But how can a wealthy family be so easy to offend? His grandmother Shen Yuzhen is not a vegetarian. After discovering that her grandson was becoming more and more "out of control" and even dared to confront her for Tang Linchu, thunderous tactics came. First, they accused the cafe of unqualified hygiene and forced "Slow Time" to close down. Then he directly gave Shen Qing an ultimatum: either leave the country immediately and completely break up with Tang Linchu; or make it impossible for Tang Linchu to survive in Haicheng and not even find a place to live. This multiple-choice question is too cruel. It was raining on the night of departure. The light was dim, and like a desperate little beast, he gently touched her lips. The kiss, with the salty taste of tears and the taste of farewell, was as light as an illusion, but it hit Tang Linchu's heart so hard. He left and went to distant Europe. Tang Linchu's world suddenly became empty. But who is she? She is Tang Linchu. After crying, she gritted her teeth and, with the help of her friends, not only reopened "Slow Time" but also bought a second store! She put all her energy into it and was so busy that her feet never touched the ground. During this period, a courier boy named Lu Chengyu appeared next to her, who was like a little sun. He was cheerful and reliable, like the sunshine in autumn, warm and accompanying her step by step out of the shadows. Things really seem to be getting better. As for Shen Qing, in a foreign country, his family has cut off his financial resources. He can only study hard while working illegally in restaurants and convenience stores. Life is extremely difficult. There is only Alice, a foreign classmate who is as enthusiastic as a small stove, who persists in trying to pull him out of his shell no matter how cold-faced he is. He could not forget Tang Linchu. That name and memory were the only light that kept him going. Two years can change a lot of things. Tang Linchu became "Boss Tang" who owns two stores. He has a fulfilling life and new warmth around him. Shen Qing struggled at the bottom, his youthfulness faded away, and his eyes became more gloomy and firm. Just when everyone thought that the two lines would never intersect again, by chance, Tang Linchu went to country D to participate in a coffee exhibition at the instigation of his friend Su Mian and accompanied by Lu Chengyu. Originally I just wanted to relax and learn some new techniques. But one afternoon, I randomly walked into an unfamiliar alley and opened the door of a cafe called "Mohen". The moment the wind chime rang, she looked up. Behind the bar, the man she thought she would never see again in her life was turning around. Time seemed to have stopped abruptly at this moment. The coffee cup in his hand fell, and Lu Chengyu beside her was stunned. The world was so quiet that only the stunned breathing of each other was left. Hey, don't you think this fate is magical? After circling the earth for a long time, you will eventually meet the people you should meet. It's just that two years have passed, different experiences have passed, and "others" who may have existed around us... This time, will they pretend to be strangers and pass each other by? Or, will there be a different ending? PS: Due to one person's reasons, the 76 chapters of this book have been completed, but they are not finished.
