Chapter 202 (1/2)
Du Xiaoxian got out of the car and looked around. It was really quiet here. She didn't expect that the coffee shop could be opened in such a quiet place. But it looks very stylish.
When the door was pushed in, there were only three or two guests inside, which seemed a little lonely. Someone in the corner waved to her. Although the light was dim, she recognized Xia Xiaowan.
When she approached, Xia Xiaowan asked with a smile, ”is the place hard to find?”
”Fortunately, the driver knows the place.” Du Xiaoxian sat down and unbuttoned his scarf.
”What would you like to drink?” Xia Xiaowan calls for a waiter.
Du Xiaoxian said, ”give me a cup of boiled water.”
Xia Xiaowan asked: ”do not like coffee because it is bitter?”
”No, I just can't get used to it.”
Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter, ”give this lady a cup of boiled water.”
The waiter answered, turned around and left, and soon brought up a cup of boiled water. Du Xiaoxian saw that there was a small list in the tray. She picked it up and looked at it. She was a little surprised. She looked up at the waiter and said, ”boiled water also needs money?”
”Yes, miss,” replied the waiter, half bent over, ”we don't have free programs here.”
”That eight yuan is too expensive. It's just a cup of white water. You can pour many cups in one pot.”
”Plain water itself is not expensive,” the waiter explained patiently. ”What is expensive is the environment and service, which are included in the cost.”
Du Xiaoxian didn't quite understand, ”environment also sells money?”
”OK, I'll answer you this question,” Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter with a light chin. ”We want to talk alone. Please...”
”Oh, yes.” The waiter nodded knowingly and turned away.
Xia Xiaowan looked around and said to Du Xiaoxian: ”you see, the decoration and furnishings here are very exquisite. There are flowers on each table. The cost is not small. Their service is also in place. It really makes people feel at home. The coffee is freshly ground. It has a strong flavor and good taste. Compared with the coffee brewed outside, it is not Same, so it is reasonable to sell a cup of boiled water for eight yuan. Do you understand my explanation? ”
”That is to say, even if you don't order anything, just sit down and spend money?”
”They don't set a minimum consumption, but who goes into such a place and just sits down? Now that you come in, you'll always want something to drink. ”
Du Xiaoxian understood that people who can enter here will not care about this money. People who don't have money dare not enter such places.
”Young master, is he OK?”
”He's fine,” Xia Xiaowan stirred his coffee with a spoon. ”He just doesn't want to see you.”
”I know, I made him sad.”
”He told me all about you,” Xia Xiaowan put down the spoon and took a sip of coffee. ”It's not so much that you make him sad, it's better that he doesn't know how to face you.” Xia Xiaowan hesitated and rubbed her fingers on the coffee cup. She didn't seem to know what to say.
”He still likes you, but he treats me You know, we've known each other since childhood. He used to like me, but now, he... ” Xia Xiaowan sighed: ”he should have told you by himself, but he doesn't know how to face you. It's not easy to entrust this kind of thing to others, so...”
Xia Xiaowan hesitated, saying a sentence to save half a sentence, as if very embarrassed. But Du Xiaoxian understood both the inside and outside of the story.
”The young master still likes you, but he feels sorry for me, so he doesn't know how to face me, right?”
”He often tells me you are stupid and stupid, but I think you are a smart girl, so if I don't say something, you will understand it.”
