Unexpectedly, the old principal did not answer, but asked:
"you guess?"
He Yufei walked to the opposite side of the principal's desk and sat down, then frowned and thought for a while and said:
"I can't guess, but I want to thank you."
"Oh~~~Thank me for what?"
After hearing what He Yufei said, the old principal said with a smile.
Seeing the old principal's appearance, He Yufei was beating a drum in his heart:
"Is it possible that last time it was just the old man who was in the dark?"
Shaking his head secretly, no matter what, he still helped He Yufei, and he said:
"Thank you for teaching me last time."
The old man smiled and said:
"Teaching is out of the question. If you don't listen, I'm just playing the piano to a cow. By the way, have you had coffee?"
He Yufei didn't know what he meant, but he still told the truth:
"No……"
"Haha, that's just right. Come on, let's both try it. According to my niece and nephew, what kind of beans are these authentic? Forget it, it's just a very authentic coffee anyway."
When the old principal heard He Yufei say that he had never drank before, he laughed and said, looking at his expression as if he had found a confidant.
Then he stood up from the leather chair opposite, walked to the cabinet behind him and rummaged around, then took out an unopened can with packaging, put it on the table, and then went back to get it.
Two cups came over and he said:
"My great-niece also said that you need to use a special cup to drink coffee. Are you too particular? I know that drinking different wines requires different cups, and drinking tea requires different cups. I didn't expect this.
We still need coffee, but this person will have to adjust the cup whenever he wants to drink water."
The old principal said for a moment that he was addicted, and his habit of chattering had returned. He Yufei was speechless for a while, but he vaguely felt that what the old man said was quite reasonable, so he did not refute, but picked up a
The cup looked like wood, but it looked transparent. The cup handle felt the same as the temperature of a human hand. He Yufei suddenly became interested and actually stuck out his tongue on the cup.
After adding more, the temperature was still the same. He used his tongue to add more between himself and instantly felt a slight chill on the tip of his tongue.
The old principal, who was walking over with an electric kettle, saw He Yufei's funny look and laughed and said:
"You've also discovered it. It is said that the water for brewing coffee also requires special water, but we don't have that many resources, so we won't pay attention to this. Come on, quickly unpack the package and let's try how it tastes."
When He Yufei heard the old principal's laughter, he was not embarrassed. He took off the wrapping paper and poured coffee beans into the cup. But just as he was about to pour it, he suddenly froze, then asked, taking the electric kettle and leaving.
The old principal who came over asked:
"How much?"
"Uh, whatever."
The old principal was stunned when he heard what He Yufei said, and then said.
"Oh, then whatever."
He Yufei murmured, and then poured out more than ten pills from a cup. Unexpectedly, the old principal on the side saw it and said with contempt:
"Have you never even had tea?"
"Uh, I drank."
He remembered that he and Ren Haiyue drank several times at Ren Xinyu's house.
"I mean you haven't studied tea, have you? You can't make it just by looking at it."
The old man said with contempt.
"Uh, I don't know how to soak."
He Yufei replied speechlessly again.
"Well, if you're being honest, if you pour some more, the black beans probably won't have much flavor. Don't they often say strong coffee in advertisements? It's probably not strong enough to taste good. Well, if you pour some more, it'll be almost done."
When the old man saw He Yufei pouring in more than ten or twenty beans, he nodded with satisfaction and said, then he picked up the electric kettle and washed it down.
He Yufei saw that one-third of the cup was full of beans. He always felt that this was not how coffee was drunk, but he was not sure. The two of them drank coffee for the first time in a daze...
"Hmm."
He took a small sip and put it into his mouth. He Yufei's whole face turned bitter than bitter melon, and then he heard the old principal ask tentatively:
"How is it? Does it taste bad?"
He Yufei looked like he would not drink it if it tasted bad. He swallowed it in one gulp, then said with an ugly smile while holding a pen while crying:
"It's simply the best in the world. You can see from my expression that I can't stop~~~"
As he spoke, he picked up the cup again and wanted to take another sip, but from the corner of his eye he was looking at the old principal. When his lips touched the edge of the cup, he pretended to "gudong" and "gudong" and swallowed his saliva.
The old principal standing aside muttered:
"Is it really that delicious?"
As he spoke, he picked up the cup and took a sip...
He Yufei used the corner of his eye to see that the old principal had finished the sip of coffee. His face instantly turned dark, and the corners of his mouth were twitching. He was laughing in his heart, but he pretended not to know anything on his face, so he put down the cup.
Then he pretended to ask:
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
"Good... delicious, even better than Coptis chinensis."
After the old principal swallowed the sip of coffee, he looked at He Yufei with a twitching face. He didn't believe that He Yufei didn't drink it just now. The next moment, the old principal did something that stunned He Yufei.
Suddenly the old principal poured the cup of coffee into his mouth and drank it all. Then the old principal put the cup on the table and said to He Yufei with a dark face:
"I've finished drinking? Have you done it too?"
He Yufei swallowed dryly, and then looked at the old man with a black line on his face. He looked at the thick and black coffee. Under the firm gaze of the old principal, he couldn't lift the cup, but he tried.
After several attempts, he couldn't pour it into his mouth. Looking out of the corner of his eye, the old man was actually staring at the cup of coffee in He Yufei's hand without even blinking.
He Yufei had no choice but to pour the coffee in as soon as he closed his eyes, but it was too painful for him to swallow it in one gulp, and he kept most of it in his mouth, making his mouth bulge, which looked funny.
Seeing that He Yufei had tears in his eyes after finishing the drink, the old principal nodded with satisfaction and said to him:
"That's right. It's our first time for both of us, so we have to be harsher on ourselves."
"Pfft~~~"
When He Yufei heard these words, all the bitter coffee he was holding in his mouth spurted out. However, the old principal was quick and took a book and put it in front of him without being affected by He Yufei's fountain.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
He Yufei was really suffering to the extreme now. The feeling of having only bitterness in his mouth was so refreshing. There was no most bitterness, only more bitterness. There was simply no limit to the bitterness.
"Ha ha ha ha."
After the old principal put down his book, he laughed heartlessly and looked at He Yufei, who was looking at him with tears on his face. He smiled heartlessly and joked:
"Today's young people just can't bear hardships, alas..."
Listening to the old principal's teasing, the feeling in He Yufei's heart was that he couldn't afford to be hurt. He was sure that the old man's words that made him squirt just now were definitely intentional. The hatred in his heart, if he had known earlier, it would be better to bite the bullet and drink the cup.
Just finish all the coffee.
He Yufei was not only bitter in his mouth, but also bitter in his heart. One day, he was betrayed by an old man. He felt that he had really failed.
In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, Ren Xinyu has finished her lecture. The remaining time is for the students to recite the text themselves. She herself sat on the stool next to the lecture table and started to stare blankly, thinking about it.
I thought of He Yufei again, with a silly smile on his lips...
"You must have done it on purpose!"
After a long time, He Yufei regained his breath and glared at the old principal and said.
The old principal looked at him and said with disdain:
"Didn't you mean it just now?"
When He Yufei heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again. This really put him in a trap. Then when he thought about it, he found it funny that he was actually having so much fun with this old man.
The old principal saw He Yufei showing a helpless smile and suddenly said:
"Ever since you entered here, you have been guided by me."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, hitting He Yufei's head directly. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat in his heart, and looked at the principal who had a solemn expression full of fear.
But then, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if a voice was saying to him:
"You must walk across the bridge connecting the road. Just see the road ahead clearly."
This unknown voice came from the bottom of his heart, but it was the result of He Yufei's tempering of his character during these days.
After he calmed down the coldness in his heart, he suddenly said these words again. The old principal opposite him was slightly startled, and then asked him again:
"What if the bridge suddenly breaks?"
He Yufei was silent for a while and said:
"Then I have to climb up to the other side."
When the old principal heard this, he suddenly smiled and said:
"It seems that the state of extreme desire has brought you a lot of benefits. This enlightenment really grows very quickly."
His eyes narrowed slightly, He Yufei stared at the old principal and said:
"You are indeed not simple."
"Looking at what you said, there is no such thing as a simple person in the world. Just begging for food requires some talent, don't you think?"
Unexpectedly, the old principal didn't take it seriously and looked at him and asked.
He Yufei's breath was stagnated again when the old man said it, and then he asked again:
"The coffee just now?"
The old principal smiled and asked again:
"Is it bitter?"
He Yufei answered truthfully:
"bitter."
"I didn't know it was so bitter before I tasted it. You didn't expect it either, right?"
The old principal's words didn't seem to be artificial. He Yufei frowned slightly and said:
"No, what do you mean?"
But the old principal just smiled and did not answer him. Suddenly he took out a turtle shell from his clothes, and then took out a few ancient copper coins. He Yufei looked at these, and his expression suddenly changed...
