Chapter 178: The Coffee Shop

After paying, Han Meimei instructed the driver to push the items to the underground garage, and turned her face to me: "Lu Xia, don't you invite me to a cup of coffee?" ”

I glanced at the time and found that it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time for a leisurely coffee drink, so I readily agreed.

"That's as it should be! I don't have a chance to thank you."

I instructed the driver, took the suit from the locker and handed it to him.

Seeing the driver pushing the shopping cart to the entrance of the Lingtian ladder, I pointed upstairs and asked Han Meimei if it was nearby?

Han Meimei shook her head and smiled mysteriously: "Lu Xia, there is a place that I guess you will definitely like." ”

Later, Han Meimei took me to a bar called Wanggui near the Big Buddha Temple.

In the afternoon, the bar had just opened, the clerk was still arranging flowers on the table, and the sound engineer changed the audio, and the stereo made a loud noise.

The attentive clerk invited us up to the second floor, which is not a private room, but it is very independent, and the window next to the table just overlooks the Getai.

I sat down and looked around, the environment was very casual, with roses on every table, and the tablecloth was a vintage plaid blue.

"Sister, you drink coffee...... But why did you bring me to the bar? ”

Seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but ask curiously. And it's obviously early to the bar!

"Lu Xia, don't you call me eldest sister, okay? It sounds weird. ”

Han Mi-mi ordered something at random, and without even asking me what I meant, she handed the broadcast to the waiter. She adjusted her comfortable sitting position, straightened her clothes and put them on, and said: "You can call me Meimei, or Mei, anyway, you are older than me, and it is okay to call me sister." ”

"You cousins, you care very much about what others call you!" I laughed.

Han Meimei's brows tightened when she heard this, but she quickly smiled with relief and asked me, "Jiaojiao, what do you usually call her?" ”

"Princess." I replied casually, my fingers casually lit the table, picked up the rose again, sniffed it, and put it down......

"Meimei, you haven't answered why I suddenly brought me to the bar." I pointed around and asked, "You and I must love this place?" …… It's nice to walk in, but I guess you mean more than just the environment, right? ”

Han Meimei smiled and said, "Lu Xia, do you know why this shop is called Wanggui?" ”

I thought about it for a while, chewing on the word "Wanggui", and it seemed that it was easy to think of something.

"Is it the expectation of return? Who is the shopkeeper waiting for? ”

"Wow! Lu Xia, you are so smart! ”

As he spoke, the clerk brought a fruit and two cups of coffee.

My knowledge of coffee is limited, but in appearance, it is delicate, and the milk pattern is the shape of a tree.

The coffee is very fragrant, and as soon as it is served on the table, there is a sweet aroma that spreads.

"Ha, so there's really coffee here! Sure enough, I thought that the coffee should be in the coffee shop. ”

"It's this bar that's not serious!"

The two of them giggled.

After laughing for a while, Han Meimei casually stirred coffee to me: "Lu Xia, have you noticed any difference between this bar and the one you have been to before?" ”

"Different?" I looked around again and picked up the roses on the table: "Nothing different except for flowers?" ”

"Really? You take a good look at it. ”

Han Meimei saw that I still didn't notice the difference. Remind me: "Lu Xia, didn't you notice that there is no bar here?" ”

It dawned on me that I stuck my head out the window and looked for it, and then I realized the clue.

"Yes! The bar doesn't have a bar? Where to buy alcohol? ”

That's when I realized that not only did there be no bar, there wasn't even a wine cooler, and I couldn't even find a can of beer in the entire bar!

Seeing that I couldn't understand it, Han Meimei took a sip of coffee and explained to me lightly: "A bar doesn't have to sell alcohol, just like you don't have to drink when you come to a bar." Aren't we just sipping coffee right now! However, I know the lady owner of this shop, and I brought you here to think about her. ”

"Bosses?" I grabbed a sensitive word and asked Han Meimei, "You don't want to introduce me to someone, do you?" -_-||”

"Of course not."

Han Meimei shook her head and said to me again: "Lu Xia, have you read the book "The Sound of Lan Ruo Cicada" I gave you?" ”

"Look at zero, it's exciting." I.

"Actually, the author is a monk, right in the Big Buddha Temple opposite."

"Oh, I see!"

Han Meimei's throat rolled and said to me, "The monk was a wealthy businessman before he became a monk, and he and his wife ran a bar business, and there were more than a dozen branches in the city, and the business was very hot.

Later, because of an accident, the proprietress came after drinking and did disgraceful things, so the boss went to become a monk.

After the boss became a monk, the proprietress was unable to run a huge business, so she left only this bar, changed her name, and no longer sold alcohol, so as to regain the monk's heart! ”

Han Meimei pointed to the coffee in front of me and asked, "Lu Xia, you taste, isn't it quite delicious to drink coffee in the bar?" ”

After listening to this story, my heart was full of mixed feelings. Because it reminds me that I broke up with Xia Xue because of a drunken nonsense.

"I didn't expect that there would be such an embarrassing love story behind an inconspicuous bar."

I looked at the roses in my hand and said with relief: "No wonder there are roses here, it turns out that this is a love-themed bar." ”

"Not all businesses are run for profit. I used to make a financial budget for the owner of this store, and she was losing a lot of money every month. Even so, she never wanted to give up. Maybe she wanted to hold on until the last minute! ”

Hearing this, I felt quite uncomfortable. sighed: "In fact, the female boss is doing this, which is more like a kind of atonement." ”

A casual cup of coffee made me realize why I came to Guangzhou. Am I not atoning for my sins?

It's just that everyone has a different way of forgiving their sins, and only those who are powerless to shake it will seek a way out in these ways!

The young female speaker downstairs finally adjusted the audio, and sang a few words to the microphone a little excitedly: There is rain in the ink pool, I came from the book...... Even if the years are reversed and unshaken, I will wait for you......

After drinking coffee, Han Meimei and I sat quietly in the attic to watch the performance. may be affected by the emotions of the female boss, and the singers here all sing songs with a sad atmosphere, which makes people can't help but tear up.

I don't know why, I found that Han Meimei knows me very well, and it is very easy to talk to her, as if she is talking to another self, and there is no need for any disguise and disguise.

Although she didn't have any common life intersections, she always seemed to be able to give me some guidance at the most opportune time, and to clear the fog in the darkness for me.
