Wu Liangliang was overjoyed when he heard what his boss said. He never thought that he could make a lot of money from this casual little bet.
Wu Liang secretly used a trust card and said with a sad face: "Brother Han Xu is very good to me. He used to frequent my convenience store when he was in high school and I just entered elementary school."
"At that time, he always treated me to ice cream. It was the most expensive kind sold at our house. It cost twelve yuan a box. My father was not willing to give it to me."
"Once I was bullied by junior high school students. They blocked the road and robbed me of my pocket money. Brother Han Xu helped me get it back."
"Later, eldest brother Han Xu went to college and went home less often, so he rarely went to our convenience store. But every time we met, he would still treat me to ice cream."
"I haven't seen Brother Han Xu since I was in the second grade of junior high school. I always thought he was too busy with his studies, but later I found out..." At this point, Wu Liang's eyes turned red and his voice choked up, " How could such a good person like Brother Han Xu be..."
Wu Liang drank a glass of sake in one gulp, looked at the boss and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, tell me what you know about Brother Han Xu. I miss him a little."
The boss also drank a glass of sake, looked into the distance, lost in memories, and slowly said: "That boy..."
The boss's surname is Zhao, and young regular customers like to call him Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao and Han Xu met for the first time eight years ago.
That day, Uncle Zhao sent away the last customer, cleaned the shop, and was about to close the shop. Han Xu walked in and asked Uncle Zhao if he could make something to eat, anything.
There were not many ingredients left in the store, so Uncle Zhao made Han Xu a plate of salmon fried rice and a thick egg roll.
Han Xu ate it all.
To express his gratitude, Han Xu asked for a whole bottle of sake when he paid the bill, but Uncle Zhao refused.
Uncle Zhao told Han Xu that since he didn't want to drink it now, it would be better to go to the online flagship store to buy it. The goods would arrive soon and the price would be much cheaper than in the store. If you don't have a wine warmer, bring the wine with you when you come to dinner. Uncle Zhao can help with heating for free.
Han Xu looked at Uncle Zhao in surprise, his eyes bright, and after a while he said, "Uncle, you are really different from my father."
Uncle Zhao didn't understand what Han Xu meant, so he just smiled gently.
From then on, Han Xu often came to the restaurant to eat, and occasionally invited good friends to join him. Most of the time, he came alone, deliberately arriving late, warming up a pot of sake, and chatting with Uncle Zhao when no one was around. chat.
Slowly, Uncle Zhao learned that Han Xu's parents did not have a good relationship.
Han Xu's father ran a company in Shanghai and was very wealthy. Han Xu's mother was a senior executive in a foreign-funded company and spent most of the year on business trips.
When Han Xu was young, he would always see his father bringing different women home. At that time, he didn't understand anything and let his nanny take him to watch cartoons in the home's video room.
Gradually, Han Xu grew up. During the hysterical quarrel between his mother and his father, Han Xu gradually understood that the reason why his mother was so angry was because his father had cheated on her.
Although Han Xu still didn't know what cheating meant, he always remembered his mother holding him in her arms and crying uncontrollably.
It wasn't until he entered middle school that Han Xu understood his father's betrayal of his mother, the women who were brought home by his father when he was a child, the pregnant aunt who blocked the door of his house unwillingly, and everything.
My father and mother never divorced.
There is no other reason than the issue of property division.
Although it was his father who made the mistake, he did not want to pay the corresponding price. On the contrary, he did not want his mother to take away even a penny.
To this end, my father tried his best.
Han Xu is ashamed to have such a father. He is unfaithful to his wife. He loves money more than anything else. He is selfish, hypocritical, shameless and despicable...
In his father, Han Xu saw the bad qualities that many people have.
Han Xu doesn't want to be like his father.
Sincerity, kindness, selflessness, and loyalty, these beautiful qualities are what Han Xu has always pursued. He wants to be such a person himself, and at the same time he will be attracted to such people.
Han Xu saw the sincerity and kindness in Uncle Zhao and felt the warmth of humanity, so he always liked to come to the store alone and chat with Uncle Zhao.
A few months later, Han Xu brought a girl to Uncle Zhao's shop.
The girl's name is Gao Qi. She is Han Xu's new girlfriend and Han Xu's first love.
Gao Qi is a simple and beautiful girl, kind, sincere, caring, and easily shy.
Uncle Zhao could tell that Han Xu loved Gao Qi very much.
From then on, Han Xu and Gao Qi always came to the store together.
Uncle Zhao knew that the harm Han Xu had suffered from his family of origin had always been buried deep in his heart and was constantly tormenting him.
And Gao Qi is like a beam of light that can dispel the haze in Han Xu's heart.
Han Xu likes to take Gao Qi to Uncle Zhao's shop, warm two pots of sake, and tell Gao Qi stories about his childhood.
Gao Qi had never been impatient. He always listened carefully, held Han Xu's hand, and comforted and affirmed him from time to time.
Every time Han Xu finished speaking, Gao Qi would look at Han Xu's eyes seriously and tell him that he was now a kind, sincere and sunny person, and she believed in his loyalty even more.
Those ugly scars can only be truly healed if they are uncovered with your own hands and slowly healed by the people you trust most.
Only a clean and beautiful girl like Gao Qi can heal the pain in Han Xu's heart.
Suddenly one day, Han Xu stopped coming to Uncle Zhao's place.
Gao Qi was also missing.
Uncle Zhao thought the young couple were going out to play, and didn't think much about it.
Until one day two months later, Uncle Zhao suddenly heard the bad news: a boy at Shanghai University committed suicide by jumping off a building, his name was Han Xu.
Uncle Zhao never saw Han Xu and Gao Qi again. Of course, he could not see Han Xu again.
After listening to Uncle Zhao's story, Wu Liang asked tentatively: "Uncle Zhao, do you think the death of Brother Han Xu is related to his girlfriend Gao Qi?"
"No, you have never met Gao Qi. That girl is simple, kind, honest, and compassionate. She is a child with many beautiful qualities. It is impossible to have a relationship with her." Uncle Zhao shook his head and categorically rejected.
Wu Liang stopped probing, changed the topic, and chatted with Uncle Zhao for a while. It wasn't until they finished the bottle of sake that they paid, said goodbye, and left.
After finding a hidden corner, Wu Liang returned to Hope Coffee House, lying on the bed and quietly thinking about the story told by Uncle Zhao.
This trip was fruitful.
But Uncle Zhao's evaluation of Gao Qi is really interesting.
simple
Kind
honest
Compassionate
How could it be the real Gao Qi.
…
When Wu Liang opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.
He actually slept all night with his clothes on.
Last night, I drank too much sake at Uncle Zhao's shop just to make a joke. I didn't feel anything at the time, but I didn't know that the sake had great stamina. I was lying in bed thinking about Han Xu and Gao Qi, and fell asleep without even realizing it. .
Wu Liang glanced at his phone and saw that there was only one hour left before the appointment time with Jia Ruofei. He quickly stood up, brushed his teeth and took a shower.
After washing up, there was still some time left, and Wu Liang suddenly wanted to do an experiment.
Last night I entered the Hope Coffee House in Shanghai. I wonder if I can go directly from the Hope Coffee House to Jicheng
Wu Liang imagined the lake park in Jicheng in his mind and opened the door.
A burst of cold air penetrated from Wu Liang's neck, making Wu Liang shiver. It seemed like it had snowed last night in Jicheng, and there were still patches of ice and snow on the grass in Lake Park.
Wu Liang laughed happily before returning to the Hope Cafe.
In the future, as long as you go to and from the cities you have visited, you no longer need to buy air tickets, you only need to go in and out of Hope Cafe!
Not only save money, but also time!
In the future, wouldn’t he be able to eat Jicheng’s fried liver along with Shencheng’s fried liver
When I go to more places in the future, wouldn’t it be possible to visit all the cities in the Dragon Kingdom in one day
This is so cool!
Wu Liang excitedly walked around the coffee shop twice, and his body suddenly froze in place.
wrong.
Can't.
He must take a plane back to Jicheng.
Nowadays, everything in this world is connected to the Internet. If your consumption records appear in Jicheng one minute and in Shanghai the next, and you frequently change consumption locations across cities in a short period of time, you will definitely be suspected.
Even if you use cash for all your purchases, there is surveillance everywhere in today's cities. Although the chance is small, there is still a risk of exposure.
Using the Hope Cafe to achieve instant cross-city operations can only be used in emergencies.
Don't use it indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary.
Wu Liang sighed, put away his previous excitement, and prepared to see Jia Ruofei.
As Han Xu's roommate, Jia Ruofei must know something.
What did everyone eat to celebrate the New Year today? Pan-fried or stir-fried liver tastes really good! Dear friends, don’t forget to invest in blades. Now you will get profits after two days of investment~ There are more than 200 points of free coins, which is very cost-effective, O(∩_∩)O haha~
