Hope Coffee House - chapter 16

A few months later, Han Xu brought a girl to Uncle Zhao’s shop.

The girl named Gao Qi was Han Xu’s new girlfriend and Han Xu’s first love.

Gao Qi was a simple and beautiful girl. She was kind, sincere, caring, and shy.

Uncle Zhao could see that Han Xu loved Gao Qi a lot.

Since then, Han Xu and Gao Qi always came to the store together.

Uncle Zhao knew the injuries Han Xu had suffered from his broken family have actually been buried in his heart, tormenting him constantly.

And Gao Qi was like a beam of light, which dispelled the haziness in Han Xu’s heart.

Han Xu liked to bring Gao Qi to Uncle Zhao’s shop, warm two pots of sake, and tell Gao Qi his childhood incidents.

Gao Qi had never been impatient, always listened carefully, holding Han Xu’s hand, comforting him from time to time.

Every time Han Xu finished speaking, Gao Qi would seriously look at Han Xu’s eyes, telling him that he was now a kind, sincere and sunny person. He should believe himself.

Those ugly scars of his would only be healed if they got uncovered and slowly healed by the person he trusted the most.

Only a clean and beautiful girl like Gao Qi could heal his heart.

Suddenly one day, Han Xu stopped visiting.

Gao Qi also disappeared.

Uncle Zhao thought the two were hanging out and didn’t think much.

Until one day, two months later, Uncle Zhao suddenly heard a piece of bad news: a boy named Han XU from Shencheng University committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Uncle Zhao never saw Han Xu and Gao Qi again, of course, he could no longer see Han Xu.

After listening to Uncle Zhao’s account, Wu Liang asked tentatively: “Uncle Zhao, do you think Brother Han Xu’s death is related to his girlfriend Gao Qi?”

“No, you haven’t met Gao Qi. That girl is simple, kind, honest, and compassionate. She was a child with many wonderful qualities and cannot be related to his death.” Zhao Shu shook his head in disagreement.

Wu Liang stopped asking, shifted the topic, and talked to Uncle Zhao for a while until the two finished the bottle of sake. Then he settled the account and bid Uncle Zhao goodbye.

Looking for a hidden corner, Wu Liang returned to Hope Coffee House and lay quietly on the bed thinking about the story told by Uncle Zhao.

His trip was very rewarding.

Only Zhao Shu’s evaluation of Gao Qi was really interesting.

Simple?

Kind?

Honest?

Compassionate?

How could it be the true Gao Qi.

When Wu Liang opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

He had slept in his clothes from last night.

“Last night, I drank too much sake. At that time, I didn’t feel it, but I didn’t know that the sake would be so powerful.”

Wu Liang glanced at his mobile phone. There was only one hour left till the assigned time. He quickly got up and brushed his teeth, then took a refreshing bath.

Seeing that he still had some time left, Wu Liang suddenly wanted to have an experiment.

‘Last night, I entered Hope Coffee House while I was in Shencheng. I wonder if I can go straight from Hope Coffee House to Jicheng?’

Wu Liang’s mind imagined Jicheng’s Lake Park and opened the door.

Cold air brushed past Wu Liang’s neck, and Wu Liang froze with excitement. It seemed that it was snowing last night, and there was still some half-melted snow on the grass.

Wu Liang laughed happily before returning to Hope Coffee House.

In the future, as long as he was traveling to and from the city he had visited, he no longer needed to buy air tickets, only to pass in and out of the Hope Coffee Shop!

Saving money, but also saving time!

‘Wouldn’t it be okay for me to eat the special fried liver of Jicheng in a motel located in Shencheng in the future?

After I go to more places by myself, won’t I be able to travel through the cities of the Dragon Kingdom in just a day?

This is too cool!’

Wu Liang who had excitedly ran two laps in the coffee shop, suddenly stiffened.

Wrong.

No.

He had to fly back to Jicheng.

Everything in this world was connected. If his own consumption records appeared in Jicheng for the first minute and then in Shencheng in the next minute, frequent changes in consumption locations across cities in such a short period of time would arouse suspicions.

Even if he spent all of his cash in consumption, cities were monitored everywhere. Although the odds were not high, there were also risks of exposure.

Hope Cafe’s instant teleportation was in the end only meant to be used in emergency situations.

He couldn’t use it unless it was necessary.

Wu Liang sighed and put away his excitement before going to see Jia Ruofei.

As Han Xu’s roommate, Jia Ruofei must know something.
