Chapter 451: Amphitri (Part II)

"Please come in."

Anselm's voice came from inside the room, not loud, but so penetrating that Trode could hear it clearly even as he stood outside the door. Trode had already thought of the worst in his mind, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes and pushing the door in.

“……”

After entering the door, Trode suddenly felt so out of place - looking at the two people sitting at a long table looking at him together, Trode suddenly forgot what he was here for, and said embarrassedly: "That...... I'm going to the wrong door......" With that, Trode turned to leave, but immediately reacted and shouted at Amphitri, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I be here?" Amphitri tilted her head to look at Trode and asked a very natural question. Trode was swallowed by Amphitri, and he couldn't speak, seeing that there was half a cup of coffee on the table in front of Amphitri, and looking for Amphitri was just thirsty, he didn't think much about it and picked up the plate and went directly to take a sip.

When Trode stays up late reading books or analyzing tactics, he often drinks some coffee, which is made from the coffee powder given to him by Alicia, and in order to neutralize the taste, Trode will put several sugar cubes in it, and if possible, he will add some milk. In his words, he still has a sweet tooth, and as for coffee, in addition to his fatigue-relieving effect, Trode only prefers to smell the mellow aroma, and if it is too bitter to drink, he still can't stand it.

"Hmm!" Trode took a sip of his coffee and almost didn't throw it out, not because he was burned, but because the cup of coffee was just too bitter......

"This ...... Did you drink it? Trode asked, looking at Amphitri with a purple-blue face. Although he really doesn't have a strong tolerance for bitterness, this cup of coffee is definitely very bitter in every way.

"That's right. I've heard you like to drink sweeter, but I can't even warn you when you move so fast. "Amphitri is like a little devil, and Trode thinks he definitely did it on purpose.

"But, I didn't expect you to be so ignorant." Amphitri carefully reminded: "This is Mandheling in Sumatra, and the reputation can be regarded as the best." ”

Trode had always drunk the ground coffee that Alicia had given him. It wasn't a fancy item, just a fairly ordinary coffee. This was mainly due to the fact that Alicia could not afford to pay for it, and Trode did not pay much attention to it, as long as it was coffee, he was content. However, Trode, who doesn't know much about coffee, still knows the title 'Mandheling', which he told him when he and Yorkson were together with coffee.

Instead of using coffee after the region where it is grown, the name of the local place or the name of the port where it was shipped, Mandheling is the name of the Indonesian 'Mandheling' ethnic group. It is considered to be the richest coffee in the world, with a very rich and pure taste. According to Yorkson. The first time he drank this coffee, he was also suffering from it, but he was not as embarrassed as Troude, and out of social etiquette, he still endured to drink a full half cup of coffee in his stomach, which made him remember it vividly even in the future.

And Trood is different, he is a half-person who has completely failed to grasp it, and his unbearable appearance is completely revealed. At this time, he also saw Anselm sitting next to him through Oh Yuguang, and he also showed a smile. It seems that he is also laughing at himself, which can't help but make his heart fire but there is nothing to vent.

Amphitri glanced at Trode, who was standing there uncomfortable no matter what he did. After showing a smile, he stood up and bowed slightly to Anselm and said, "Colonel, I'm sorry that you deliberately took such a long time out of your busy schedule to chat with me, so I will take my leave." ”

Anselm nodded slightly, and said, "I think this afternoon of small talk has been much more rewarding than when I buried it in the papers. But it's late today, so let's talk about it later if we have a chance. ”

Trode also saluted Anselm and walked out after Amphitri. As the two of them reached the door, Anselm said with a hint of pleading, "Then please take care of her." ”

"Ah...... Be! Trood was a little confused by Anselm's sudden remark, but immediately agreed to Anselm. At this time, he also saw Amphitri smile. Trood immediately chased after him and asked, "What's wrong?" You don't believe me? ”

"Nope." Amphitri shook his head slightly, looked into the distance and said, "If it were you, it would be a good way to protect 'her'." ”

"What?" Trode was confused by Amphitri, and after thinking about it, he saw that Amphitri had already gone away. It was he who suddenly thought that Amphitri had played himself all afternoon, although it was not a dangerous job, but after all, it was to worry about him, and he also made himself ugly in front of Anselm, which was even more of a crime. Counting the old and new hatreds together, Trode angrily caught up with Amphitri, blocked in front of her, and looked straight at her.

Although Trode's momentum was menacing, Amphitri went completely unmoved, and asked Trode, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Although Trode wanted to argue with him about those things at this time, but when he thought of Amphitri's temper, he definitely didn't have any sweetness, so Trode still used his cool mind to skillfully avoid this forbidden area, and asked a question that he was more concerned about: "What did you say to Buttermesse and Anselm?" ”

"Captain, I said a little bit about the situation in the team, but you can rest assured, there are only two or three sentences, and they are not on the point." Amphitri put his hand to his chin and continued, "Colonel, not to mention the affairs of the team, we just talked about some hobbies. ”

At this point, Amphitri put on a smirk: "This includes the cup of coffee you drank too." ”

Trode was relieved that Amphitri didn't mention much about the team, but saw Amphitri poke him in the sore spot again and use the cup of coffee to mock him. Now that there was no one else around, Trode let go and immediately stretched out his hand to Amphitri......

"Want to catch me? It's still early! Amphitri jumped away like a rabbit and ran away with a puff of smoke, leaving only Trode, who had a headache...... (To be continued.) )
