Since touching this coffee, Ling Menglan felt that no matter what she ate, she couldn't swallow it, and that kind of food lost its original deliciousness and only left a disgusting and rancid feeling, all of which filled her taste buds.

Disgusting, disgusting. No matter what kind of food it was, it made her feel sick. Even the most ordinary water, drinking into her mouth was like sewage in a stinking gutter.

The stench was unbearable.

Ling Menglan, who couldn't eat anything, realized the deliciousness of coffee even more deeply, and she couldn't get anything into her throat, so she could only increase the amount of coffee she consumed in the end.

Coffee has almost become Ling Menglan's only source of food these days, the first few days are fine, just a few cups she can endure the day. But I don't know when it started, Ling Menglan's thirst for that coffee became stronger and stronger.

I really want to drink it, I really want to drink it. It's so delicious, I really want to go to the coffee shop for another drink.

In the coffee shop, the owner said that he would not sell it to her, so Ling Menglan could only increase the number of times she drank coffee in that coffee shop. Although coffee is not a harmful thing, coffee is also harmful in a certain way, probably because of too much coffee intake, Ling Menglan is almost not sleepy.

Sometimes she feels tired, but her mind is unusually clear, and since she touched this coffee, she has spent every night awake.

The same is true for today's night, Ling Menglan, who has rolled over in bed and can't sleep, feels so irritable.

She wants to drink coffee, and she really wants to think about it.

I don't know if the obsession with the coffee has reached a weird level, Ling Menglan, who is thinking about the coffee, is getting more and more irritable, her stomach is so uncomfortable, and her whole body is so uncomfortable. But I can't tell what kind of uncomfortable way it is, but I feel that something is coming out of my stomach.

The thing was swelling hard, stretching its stomach open, piercing its stomach membranes, and burrowing down its esophagus to its throat.

The uncomfortable feeling made her unable to sleep. Not only that, but even the back was a hot pain, with an indescribable itch in the pain. Curled up in the quilt, Ling Menglan could only bite the back of her hand with one hand, and the other hand reached out to her back, scratching and tickling.

One after the other, each time it gets heavier and heavier. The itching place was obviously the place she touched, but the itch seemed to be hidden deep under the flesh, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch it. She could only keep increasing her strength until the skin on her back was scratched by herself.

After the skin was broken, Ling Menglan felt that the hot and itchy almost crazy feeling disappeared. A little sigh of relief, but this breath was only a matter of a while, and soon Ling Menglankai began to obsess over the coffee in that coffee shop.

I want to drink, I want to drink, she just wants to drink now, no matter what.

The throat is thirsty, and there is thirst everywhere in the body. I was really going crazy by this unbearable feeling of thirst, and Ling Menglan, who couldn't stand it, sat up from the bed suddenly.

I can't stand it anymore, she can't stand it anymore.

didn't plan to care about anything else, Ling Menglan simply followed her thoughts, got up and touched the bed quietly, Ling Menglan got out of bed softly, and then put on a coat and walked out of the dormitory.

One floor down the sixth floor of a dormitory building, when passing by the door of the aunt in charge of the building, Ling Menglan also heard the snoring of the aunt inside, and jumped over the door and came to the door of the dormitory building. If you want to drink coffee, you have to go out through this door, raise your hand and pull it gently, but it is also magical, the door forgot to lock it.

Because of the easy opening of the door, Ling Menglan then stepped out. When you are overly attached to something, sometimes it is the thought of that moment that leads you all the way.

After leaving the school gate, I was lucky enough to stop the taxi in the middle of the night, and after a while, Ling Menglan arrived in front of the alley. At the outside of the alley, Ling Menglan was confused at this time.

At this time, on this night when everyone is asleep, is that coffee shop open?

Is it on?

I asked in my heart several times, and when I found a certain number of times, Ling Menglan suddenly replied to herself.

"If it's open, that store must still be open."

Of course, such words were said to himself, and after saying this, Ling Menglan entered the alley. It's late at night, and almost all the shops are closed, so the alley is also dark. But not long after entering the alley, Ling Menglan saw the light, and the light that suddenly lit up was like a light guiding the way in the dark, and when she saw the sudden light, Ling Menglan accelerated the pace under her feet.

The lights came from that coffee shop, and sure enough, it was still on, and that coffee shop was still on. walked up quickly, and when he got to the front of the store, he pushed the door open, and Ling Menglan walked in.

After pushing the door open, the bell on the top made a crisp sound, and Ling Menglan heard the gentle voice of the shopkeeper: "Welcome."

Welcome.

This one is still open.

After a slight pause at the door, Ling Menglan entered the coffee shop. As if the shopkeeper had expected her to come late at night, her appearance did not surprise the shopkeeper, but naturally smiled and said.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Hmm."

Although Ling Menglan's obsession with coffee made her feel terrible, she still subconsciously responded. Ling Menglan is also a frequent customer here, and the owner of the shop knows what to drink, so after she responded, the owner began to brew coffee.

The coffee shop looked at it, it seemed to be a little different from the previous ones, the previous coffee beans were blood red, blood red blood red like blood beads, but tonight's coffee beans, the color is not bright, but dark red.

A dry dark red.

Seeing the shopkeeper pour the coffee beans into the coffee machine, Ling Menglan couldn't help but ask, "Why is the color of this coffee bean different?" ”

The different colors called Ling Menglan was a little scared.

It seems that it is inexplicably terrible, when I went to the coffee shop a few days ago, Ling Menglan came with the mentality of enjoyment. But tonight, tonight's dedication to coffee, maybe I didn't feel anything just now, but now I think about it.

Are you too obsessed?

It was just the strange fear that arose in that moment, but it didn't make people so frightened that they wanted to flee from here. So Ling Menglan still sat there, watching the shopkeeper brew the coffee in front of him, until the aroma of the coffee came out, the aroma lingered throughout the shop, and the shopkeeper poured the coffee into the cup before replying.

"Because the beans are old."

"Old?" Ling Menglan was a little surprised for a while by replying like this, but soon she understood what the shopkeeper meant.

Plants, like people, also have old times, and when they are fresh, the taste is excellent, but when they are old, the taste is also bad.

It seems that the same is true for this coffee bean, once it is old, the color is not so vibrant.

It was dark red, like dried blood.

Taking the coffee brought by the shopkeeper and taking a sip gently, Ling Menglan, who had tasted the taste, said, "Although I am old, the taste seems to be better than before." ”

The taste is stronger and the taste is more mellow, as if all the essence is integrated into it, and this cup of coffee almost makes Ling Menglan intoxicated.

She has already drunk a lot of coffee here, so she has a say in this coffee Ling Meng Lan, and her words are also pertinent, and after listening to her exclamation, the shopkeeper smiled.

Smiling slightly, the shopkeeper said, "Of course it's delicious, after all, this is the last coffee bean." ”

"The last?" Asked in surprise.

"yes." Sighing softly, the shopkeeper said, "No matter what kind of life it is, there is a time when it comes to an end. The mother of this coffee bean has reached its limit, and it seems that it will not be able to give birth to coffee beans. ”

The ripe coffee beans are called the mother, which is a strange description of the owner. However, in addition to the strangeness, Meng Lan was more concerned about the last wave in the shopkeeper's mouth. If it's the last wave, doesn't it mean that you won't be able to drink such delicious coffee again?

Such a thing is really unacceptable, because for the love of this coffee, Ling Menglan expressed his regrets. However, her regret was early, and after listening to Ling Menglan's words, the shopkeeper smiled.

"Don't worry, when the old is gone, there will always be a new one. Even if the mother plant can't hold anymore, I can still find a new one to replace it, and as long as I have a new mother, the coffee beans will still grow. ”

"Really?"

It was obviously a very ordinary remark, but at this time, it made Ling Menglan feel that something was wrong.

Why do you always think something is wrong? But what exactly is wrong, I can't figure it out for a while. Because of the inexplicability and weirdness that rose in his heart, Ling Menglan, who didn't want the atmosphere to turn awkward, coughed dryly, and then said.

"I just don't know what kind of mother can grow such a special coffee bean."

In this case, Ling Menglan had already asked before, because the owner of the store said that it was a trade secret, so Ling Menglan didn't ask anything from her. Now I ask this question, but I just want to ease the atmosphere so that the atmosphere does not suddenly turn awkward.

She didn't think that the owner would be willing to tell her about such an important matter. Who knew that this time would be special, after listening to her words, the shopkeeper suddenly said: "If you want to see it, it's not impossible." ”

"What?"

The sudden change of attitude made Ling Menglan feel surprised, and thought that she had heard it wrong, but Ling Menglan also looked at the shopkeeper in surprise. After looking at the shopkeeper's gentle smile, the shopkeeper, who knew that she was not joking, couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you willing to let me see it, didn't you say before that this is a trade secret?"

The business opportunity to do business is the existence of making money, and it is normal not to show it to outsiders, and now the owner of the shop said that he wanted to let himself know, but Ling Menglan felt strange.

However, the shopkeeper will say this and also has his own plans, looking at Ling Menglan smiling, the shopkeeper said: "You like coffee very much, I have been here the most times since I opened the shop, and if you like coffee, I think the mother will also like you." That's why I want to take you to see it, what? Aren't you interested? ”

Of course there is interest, how could Ling Menglan not be interested in the mother body of the coffee, after the owner said that, Ling Menglan subconsciously looked at the door of the back kitchen,

The shopkeeper's so-called mother is there, and she knows it.

It's rare that the owner of the store took the initiative to invite himself, how could he not grasp such an opportunity. Just hesitated for a while, Ling Menglan finally nodded in response. He was about to get down from the chair he was sitting on, but he didn't know how to stop the shopkeeper before he could move.

Looking at the coffee that had not yet been drunk, the shopkeeper said, "This coffee has not been finished yet, if you don't finish drinking it for a while, it won't taste good." ”

Asked the shopkeeper to say this, Ling Menglan realized that his cup of coffee was only a few sips, it was really strange, he obviously liked this coffee very much, when the shopkeeper used to brew it, even if it was scalded, Ling Menglan would drink the coffee in a very short time, and then wait for the shopkeeper to make a cup for himself.

But this time, the coffee has obviously been in front of him for a long time, and it is already just warm, and he hasn't finished drinking it?

Although its taste was still richer and more mellow than the ones she had drunk before, Ling Menglan found that she didn't seem to have that much in love.

This is also strange for Ling Menglan to make a sudden change in coffee, but it is not easy for the owner to make a cup of coffee, even if he doesn't think like that in his heart, Ling Menglan still politely picked up the cup of coffee, and then drank all the remaining coffee in it.

After waiting for her to finish drinking all the coffee, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "It seems that this mother plant is really very close to you, and the last wave of coffee beans produced is brewed for you to drink." I want to take you inside to see it, and it will be happy. ”

Saying strange things, the shopkeeper always had that gentle smile. led Ling Menglan to the door of the back kitchen, and after turning around and smiling at her, the owner pushed open the door of the back kitchen.

There is no light in the back kitchen, so the whole kitchen is very dim. Standing outside and poking his head in, Ling Menglan, who had not seen anything, had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Do you want to go in? Ling Menglan at that moment was hesitant.

She wanted to go in and see what the mother body of such coffee beans was like, but she felt that she shouldn't go in. Especially when I was at this door, the hot stinging sensation in my back appeared again.

The back, the stomach, there is no such place that is comfortable.

The uncomfortable feeling made Ling Menglan feel that she was about to lose it, and just when she felt that she was going to tear these pains apart, a hand suddenly put on her pointed head. Putting his hand on his shoulder, the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Let's go inside."

Miraculously, all the pain disappeared after the hand was put on it.

After the pain disappeared, Ling Menglan looked back at the shopkeeper, answered, and then stepped open and walked through the door.
