These roads were badly damaged during the conflict years ago and have not been repaired because they are unmanaged.

The bumpy road, the street shops with signs sloping east to west, the street lights flickering on and off, and the pedestrians looking distressed......

I listened to Aldo's interpretation of the land and his love for the place's back-to-basics chic lifestyle.

Five minutes later, I began to wander again, my mind drifting back to the island with the dewy moon in the deep blue night.

"Let's have a cup of coffee and a light meal here," Aldo's eyes lit up, "and that's where I solved the final equation for the theory of orbital compression." ”

He pointed to a Turkish coffee workshop with a sign on it...... It's barely a café place.

From the outside, this "café" is no different from other restaurants in the neighborhood.

When I came to Jihe City, the board and lodging were all arranged by Mr. Conrad, the president of Star Travel University.

He arranged for me to stay in a normal shabby hotel, and to eat three meals a day in the university teachers' cafeteria.

I don't live comfortably, and I can't eat anymore.

But because I wasn't familiar with the local area, and I had some work at hand two days ago, I didn't care.

However, I have long been looking forward to when I can improve my living environment and diet.

"Life here must be uncomfortable for you, right?" Aldo's eyes flashed with pride in being a native of Jihe City.

"It's a little uncomfortable......"

"That's what makes our city lovely – we seem to be infected by those interstellar travelers, and we don't have much interest in food, so it's enough to be able to eat."

"Hmmm......"

"With a simplified diet, more time can be spent on more meaningful things, such as scientific research and enjoying nature."

"I understand, but your food is too ......" is a word that I can't swallow.

But I can't think of a better description.

"Mr. Conrad has limited funds and can only arrange that kind of meal for you." Aldo smiled apologetically, "The vegetable puree here is much better than the one in the teacher's cafeteria." ”

"Well, since you've highly recommended it." I nodded slightly and walked into the coffee shop called "Lai Yi" first.

To my surprise, the inside of the coffee shop was much cleaner than it looked like the façade.

My heart, which was hanging in the air, finally fell to the ground.

The taste of the coffee has a distinctive, shallow minty flavor.

Aldo took a sip of coffee and pulled a stack of manuscript paper and a pen from the folder.

"How? The coffee here tastes unique, right? He opened the switch.

"Hmm......" I put my coffee aside and asked the waiter for a glass of juice, "The beans are good, but I don't like mint." ”

"Peppermint was actually added to help some people relieve symptoms of mood sickness."

"Mood sickness?" I frowned and felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Ha, you probably don't understand...... How to put it, this is a congenital disease, and only a hybrid of Winter Grave and Earthlings can ......"

"I know." I felt tight, palpitated, and reluctant to continue the conversation.

"You know...... Aldo looked shocked, and then said politely, "Professor Kang is really knowledgeable. ”

"......" I sucked half a glass of orange juice, my brow furrowed at its sourness.

"Lemon juice in orange juice and mint in coffee are unique flavors that can only be found in Jeho City." Aldo smiled good-naturedly.
