Chapter 38 Drinking coffee and red wine
"Is this what you mean?" My eyes lit up.

"Yes."

I smiled happily and said, "I suddenly found that you are not as annoying as before."

"Have I ever annoyed you before?"

"Yeah." I nodded vigorously.

"How annoying, why do you hate it?" he asked again.

"It's annoying, but it's not that annoying now. Don't worry." I quickly added.

He leaned on the steering wheel and tilted his head to look at me: "Is this a compliment?"

"Uh... it counts, of course it counts." I guarantee it 100%.

He looked at me for a while, and I couldn’t see clearly his expression, but he was a little inexplicably nervous, so he said, “It’s getting late, isn’t it time to fill my stomach?”

After the car started, I suddenly thought of a very serious question and looked at him seriously: "They said I was your girlfriend just now, why didn't you clarify?"

He took the time to look at me: "Are you my girlfriend?"

"No."

"Then it's over."

Well, that's true, those who are clean will themselves be clean.

He looked at the time, it was only four o'clock, and said, "Where are we going now?"

"have supper."

"But it's still early," I said, not to mention I wasn't even hungry yet.

"Then let's go have afternoon tea and kill some time."

Then we went to a cafe and drank coffee.It's so pitiful that this is the first time for me to drink coffee in my life. The price is 289 for two persons.Two cups of coffee, Ethiopian Sidamo in a glass narrow-mouth bottle, divided into two cups, one with a piece of ice, plus a few plates of baking and snacks, is this worth 289?

Seeing my shock, Han Yucheng explained that the owner of this coffee shop won No. 3 in last year's Nordic Cup Baking Competition.The coffee at this shop has always been highly praised for its smooth taste.He also said that there are many repeat customers here, the coffee beans are always fresh, and the strong taste of freshly ground coffee makes people wonder whether the coffee they drank in the past was watered down.

Seeing that he spoke eloquently, this guy must have been drinking coffee a lot.Hey, I never thought that someone with a rough appearance would have such a bourgeois sentiment.

I picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Well, it tasted good. It was a little bitter in the mouth at first, but once it slipped into my throat, there was a delicate sweetness, and the aftertaste was fragrant.

The coffee got better and better as I drank, and I ate half of the snacks. Although my stomach still wanted to eat, my reason told me that I couldn't eat anymore because the person sitting opposite me was Han Yucheng.I held the coffee and looked around, and found that other customers in the store were also looking at me. I pretended to be calm and held my chin up, drinking the coffee gracefully to hide my inner pride.Dressing up beautifully, drinking coffee, and being full of emotions is simply the dream pursuit of all girls.Girl, this is my first time to go shopping in this kind of place, so I’m still quite fresh and curious.

There were only a few tables with people coming to drink coffee at this time. When I saw a couple not far away who were having sex with each other, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem.This serious problem made me unable to sit still any longer. After finishing the coffee in my hand, I urged Han Yucheng to leave quickly.

“The purpose of coming here to spend time is to kill time, why are you leaving in such a hurry?”

"Well, most of the people who come here to spend money are couples." I whispered, "We are not lovers, so we are not suitable in a place like this, right? It's better to leave quickly." It would be embarrassing if an acquaintance saw it.

Han Yucheng slowly put down the coffee cup and said, "Can't we drink coffee together if we are not a couple?"

"That's not true. It's just that I always feel that there is something..."

"what?"

"Forget it, let's go." My heart became more and more strange, why would I be sitting here drinking coffee with Han Yucheng?This is too strange. It is obvious that we are not familiar with each other and despise each other.Oh, no, it’s him who looks down on me, not that I look down on him.How could he be interested in drinking coffee with someone he looked down upon?
"It's still early, there's no rush." ​​Han Yucheng was not in a hurry to leave. He actually asked the clerk to bring another cup of coffee. Seeing his skillful movements, I couldn't help but ask him, "Do you often come to a place like this?"

"Do not."

lie!Seeing as he just asked the clerk to bring their signature coffee and snacks, he clearly comes to this kind of place often.It's just that I'm not familiar with him after all, so it's not easy to ask about such private matters.I didn't want to talk too much to him, lest I make too many mistakes, so I habitually took out my phone, and then I remembered that I didn't have a smartphone yet and couldn't access the Internet.

Putting his cell phone back into his small bag, Han Yucheng said again: "It's almost time. Why don't you have some Western food? Although there are various snacks at the dance, that won't fill you up."

I also love snacks, but they don’t really fill my stomach, so I agreed.

This cafe not only sells afternoon tea, but also Western-style meals. Han Yucheng is quite gentlemanly and actually handed me the menu and asked me to order.

I took it, looked at the menu, and ordered a black pepper steak and black pine nut shrimp salad. Han Yucheng said, "That's all?"

"Let's eat first and then talk."

"The portion of Western food is very small. Based on your usual food intake, it probably won't be enough for you."

"No need really, I'm not very hungry yet."

Han Yucheng didn't push any further and ordered a few dishes, all with names I had never heard of before, and finally ordered a bottle of red wine.

The meal came quickly, and as expected, the portion was very small. Han Yucheng even had to pour me wine. I quickly said, "I don't know how to drink."

“Red wine has a low alcohol content, so it doesn’t hurt to drink less.”

"No need, I don't like drinking." Even if you have never seen the world, you still know clearly that drinking red wine in a Western restaurant with a grown man will be as ambiguous as you think.
