Chapter 32: The Feeling of Drinking in the Stomach

How could Qi Yi not understand that feeling?

Who better understands than him?

Yan Yun at this moment made Qi Yi feel distressed.

Yan Yun called him "grandpa" because he always thought too much.

In the final analysis, it was because he was too naïve at that time, so naïve that he pretended to be mature every day.

When you are young, people will always be given preferential treatment because they study well, and Qi Yi will get too much preferential treatment before he will become a sufferer.

Such preferential treatment is a double-edged sword.

Those who are treated favorably will become vain as a result.

If the excellence of the person who is treated preferentially can be continued, then in fact, this vanity does not have much to do with it.

But if such a person arrives in a better group and finds that he is just an ordinary one, or finds that others are better than him in a certain aspect, he will inevitably have some psychological pressure.

That's why, when you were in elementary school, the school girl you knew who was excellent in character and academics was likely to be a scheming person when you reached junior high school.

At the beginning, the school girl may still be very good, she may just be surpassed in a small aspect, but she just can't accept it, so that she eventually becomes a person she doesn't know very well.

This is a typical example of vanity having nowhere to put it, leading to psychological problems.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Yanyun University is being targeted.

Qi Yi, of course, is also vain, this vanity is not born with him, but has been constantly imposed on him by the people around him since he was a child.

For Qi Yi himself, he actually didn't like the pressure brought by such vanity.

Because of this, Qi is not a person who is willing to express his thoughts directly.

This is also why, on the premise of misunderstanding Yan Yun's continuous "encouragement to confess", it took almost a year before he was willing to take that step.

Otherwise, he can't pull his face even if he likes it.

Qi Yi in high school couldn't afford the humiliation of being rejected.

Actually, everyone has their own troubles.

It's just that some people's troubles are easy to see, and for others, even if they say it, no one will believe it.

For example, when he was in high school, Qi Yi's troubles of not wanting vanity were something that most of his peers couldn't understand.

Although Qi Yiren came to Melbourne, there were too many practical problems that he had not considered.

When the two of them were together, Yan Yun was always able to easily resolve all of Qi Yi's psychological problems.

But who will solve Yan Yun's psychological problems?

"I originally wanted to stay for a few more days, as long as I could go back for the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that the ticket to return to Melbourne would be so difficult to buy, and there was no way to change the ticket. Qi also answered another question Yan Yun had asked earlier.

"So that's the case, all airlines don't have it?" Yan Yun struggled to adjust his emotions.

Some words are very heavy in my heart, and when I say them, they are just one sentence.

"Well, I just called and asked, but I didn't have any. Qi Yi's mood was even worse than Yan Yun's.

"Only sweets can save the human mood. I just ordered ten Mignon, ten Cioccolateria, and ten Biscotti. Yan Yun didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic first.

"The unit of dessert you order is calculated by 'ten'?" Qi Yi was distracted by the exaggerated quantifiers in Yan Yun's words.

"What's so strange about that? Mignon is one bite at a time, Cioccolateria is one bite at a time, and Biscotti is one bite at a time.

There are dozens of each category here, and I've only picked the five most distinctive ones for each category, two copies of each.

One copy will be sent to us later, and one will be packed for you to take away, and you can put it in the refrigerator first, and then it will be no problem to bring it back to China. Yan Yun explained the reason for the number of desserts she ordered.

The reason why Brunetti has the longest dessert display case in Melbourne is because there are so many varieties of Italian sweets in it.

And in addition to these ordered by Yan Yun, Brunetti can also customize birthday cakes, and even come to make Catering (hosting banquets).

In her spare time, Yan Yun likes to come to Brunetti for afternoon tea, not only because of the Italian pastries, but also because of the coffee.

"Qi Yi, I've been there for so long, why haven't you ordered anything yet? Let me tell you, although many people think Brunetti is a dessert shop, the coffee here is really invincible and super delicious. Yan Yun tried to change the topic to a more relaxed topic.

"I don't know which one is good, so I'll wait for you to get some for me." Qi Yi naturally took on the topic again.

"Well, the coffee here is very special, and if I want to do it myself, I'll order Affogato.

The hot espresso is poured on top of the special gelato, and the mixture of hot and cold looks contradictory, but the taste is very uniform.

Every time I drink this coffee, I feel like I have drunk a whole contradictory and unified Yan Yun into my stomach.

It's my coffee.

Well~ If you drink it, if it's usual, I would recommend you to try Corretto, the most Italian mafia specialty liquor coffee in this shop.

But given that you didn't sleep much yesterday, I feel like only DoubleExpresso's caffeine can save you. Yan Yun was quick to give advice. (Note 1)

"Correto?" Qi Yi looked at the coffee on the DrinksMenu, "Why are you calling this Mafia Coffee because of the addition of spirits?Also, why do you think Mafia Coffee is right for me? Do I look like a Mafia?" Qi Yi asked a little confused.

"Well, the district where this street is located is Carlton, and in its early years, this street was the gathering place of the famous Italian mafia 'Carlton Crew'.

However, ~ naming Corretto as a mafia specialty coffee is purely my personal hobby, and there is no history to check at all.

Haha, what's the matter, are you interested in this 'mafia coffee'?" Yan Yun asked Qi Yi with a smile.

"Not really. Qi Yi replied.

"Then I'll call someone to order, and I'll order you a DoubleExpresso. Yan Yun raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to come over.

"How-can-I-help-you-Miss?" The waiter quickly walked over and asked Yan Yun.

"Can-I-have-an-Affogato?"

Yan Yun originally wanted to help Qi Yi order directly, but today's waiter was very fast, so he directly asked Qi Yi what he ordered:

“Good-Morning-Sir-What-can-I-get-for-you-today?” (Good morning sir, what would you like to help you with today?) The waiter asked Qi Yi.

“Make-it-two.“ (I want a glass of the same.) Qi Yi "simply and rudely" ordered the coffee he wanted to drink. (Note 2)

"Aren't you going to drink DoubleExpresso? Why did you order Affogato, aren't you sleepy?" Yan Yun was curious, why Qi Yi ordered the same coffee as her, because usually girls like Affogato more.

"I'm sleepy, but I want to experience the feeling of 'Yan Yun in my stomach'. Qi Yi learned from Yan Yun's way of speaking just now.

"Well, you're a good old man. In fact, the Colazione in this store is the most popular and the most delicious. Yan Yun said a little humbly.

"Colazione?" Qi Yi asked with a little confusion.

"Well, I'm a super student, and I can even understand Italian breakfast. Yan Yun's face was full of compliments.

"Because my roommate at Stanford is Italian. With this expression on your face now, why does it make me feel as if I have just inadvertently suffered a loss?" Qi Yi's doubts were a little more.

…………………………

Note 1:

Double Expresso is a simple combination of Double + Expresso.

It is to make a cup of espresso with two servings of ground espresso.

Particularly exaggerated is TripleExpresso.

People who don't drink coffee often, after drinking such a cup of coffee, basically don't have to sleep for a day and a night.

Note 2:

I want a glass of the same, and many people would say Make-it-double.

Double.

Qi also said Make-it-two.

Two copies.

Although, in a special context, most of the waiters can still understand, or ask the person who ordered to confirm.

But Qi Yi's statement is the one with the attribute of a scholar.

Make-it-double. Just like the DoubleExpresso in Note 1, you don't use two cups for an extra serving of ground coffee.

Or you feel that one egg in breakfast is not enough for you to eat, and ask for two eggs.

In short, Double is a term for increasing the amount of your own meal or drink.

If you want to say, "I want the same thing as the person who just ordered", Make-it-two.

However, language is just a communication tool, as long as you can understand it.

From a linguistic point of view, there is no absolute grammatical incorrectness, and the more people use it, the more it often becomes correct.

For example, in Chinese, there are not many people who know the correct saying of "paying the bill", but there may not be many people who know the wrong saying of "paying the bill", so now, paying the bill has also become the correct statement.

For another example, Long-time-no-see, which was originally considered to be very Chinglish (Chinese English), is used by so many people that foreigners think that this way of meeting and greeting is very good, which is much better than talking about the weather or something.

Long-time-no-see. has now become a formal, stylish and authentic way to greet in English.
