"Of course." The waiter took out the gold coin from his pocket. Although he didn't know what was so important about this seemingly ordinary coin, there was no need to give it up when the benefits were visible to the naked eye.
Lin Su picked up the gold coin and gave him two more. The waiter took it and bowed, saying, "Please wait."
The gold coin he got back was placed in front of the Elf King. He touched the pattern on the coin and hummed, "Then I forgive you too."
Lin Su took a sip of the espresso on the table. The slightly bitter yet fragrant taste was something the Elf King had never smelled before. He tucked the gold coin under his elbow like a giant plate, then scurried over to Lin Su's cup and sniffed, "Lin, what is this?"
"Coffee." Lin Su said.
"Is it delicious?" The Elf King was a little curious. He tilted his head and looked at Lin Su, his face showing that he wanted to drink it.
"It doesn't taste good." Lin Su said.
This extra strong coffee is very bitter. If you want to really taste its good flavor, you need to have tasted all kinds of coffee and know how to appreciate it. For an elf who is almost soaking in a honey pot all day, this thing is definitely not tasty.
The Elf King blinked at him and said, "Are you reluctant to let me drink it?"
"It's really hard to drink, don't cry." Lin Su took the spoon beside him, dipped a little in it and handed it to his mouth, "Just taste it, don't swallow it."
"Oh!" The Elf King was extremely interested in the liquid on the spoon. He leaned over and tasted it with anticipation and joy. Then his whole face wrinkled together, "Pooh, pooh, pooh!"
Not only did his facial features wrinkle together, but tears also began to flow from his eyes, which he couldn't wipe away: "It's so hard to drink, so hard to drink... It's hard to drink... Ugh..."
Lin Su handed over some clean water, and the Elf King finally relieved some of the bitterness in his mouth. He knelt on the spot and began to sniffle, tears welling up in his eyes. The more he tried to hold back the tears, the more aggrieved he seemed.
"Open your mouth." Lin Su took out the honey he had brought with him, dipped the cutlery in it and handed it to his mouth. The little elf king took a bite and wiped away his tears when he finally tasted the sweetness after smacking his lips.
"I told you it doesn't taste good." Lin Su picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The Elf King looked up at him with an expression of disbelief.
"Then why are you still drinking?" The Elf King obviously couldn't understand this sadistic behavior.
"I think it's pretty good." Lin Su said with a smile.
The Elf King's face wrinkled together, but he wanted to be more than ten meters away from the coffee cup he put down.
Lin is really scary. He can actually drink something that tastes so bad and still think it tastes good.
He looked around and saw a customer not far away ordering coffee. He drank it while reading the newspaper, his brows not even furrowed. The cup contained the same liquid of the same color and smell. The Elf King came close to Lin Su's hand and said, "Do humans like this kind of thing?"
"Just a part of it." Lin Su replied.
In addition to honey petals, elves usually eat some fruits. Lin Su asked for a cake and shared the mango on it with him. The bright yellow color and the fragrant smell finally alleviated the Elf King's fear of coffee. However, he looked at the obviously sweet-tasting cake and felt eager to try it again.
Whether or not he could return to the mother tree after eating other things was secondary. If that was true, Lin Su could feed him other things every day. The main thing was whether this kind of thing would cause stomach upset or be harmful to the elf's body.
"You can only taste it, you can't eat it, otherwise it will hurt here." Lin Su said, patting his stomach.
"Then why doesn't Lin feel any pain?" The Elf King grabbed the crotch.
Lin Su gave him a small piece of cake and said, "Of course it's because I'm an adult elf with a stronger immune system. I can eat anything delicious, but you're still too young and will get sick."
The Elf King showed a tangled expression, took a bite of the cake as Lin Su fed him, and then a look of amazement appeared on his little face. He smacked his lips and said, "Delicious! This is delicious, Lin, this is so delicious."
"We agreed not to swallow it." Lin Su pinched his little face, but there was still something in his mouth when he spoke.
The Elf King smacked his lips and continued to stare at the cake: "Lin, I want to..."
"Tangtang, who doesn't keep his word, can't eat the cake." Lin Su moved the cake aside and placed the mango in front of him.
"Lin..." The Elf King looked up at him, but Lin Su lowered his head and ignored him. The Elf King poked the mango with a rather large toothpick, glanced at Lin Su, and stealthily got up and moved towards the cake.
Lin Su seemed to have his head down, but when he was about to succeed on tiptoe, he said, "Tangtang, if you cheat, I won't take you out next time."
The tiptoes fell down, and the Elf King ran into his sight with a pout, shaking his fingers with his little hands, his eyes full of pity: "Lin... I want to eat cake."
"Do I look so soft-hearted?" Lin Su pinched his little face and said.
The Elf King continued to look at him, his whole body aggrieved: "Lin..."
Lin Su took a deep breath, touched his head and said, "I'm not sure if this kind of food is harmful to you. I'll go back tonight and check the situation. If it's not harmful, I can eat it later."
The Elf King noticed the softening in his tone: "But Lin Xiao is fine."
"That's different." Lin Su said softly.
The power of darkness itself can resist all diseases, but the evil spirit cannot enter the little guy's body to heal him, otherwise he may turn into a dark elf.
"Is it because Lin is an adult elf?" asked the Elf King, looking up.
"Not all of them." Lin Su replied.
The Elf King was a little discouraged. He pulled Lin Su's hand away and sat on his arm with a bit of melancholy. He even sighed: "Lin, it's too hard to eat the cake... Can we take it back?"
When he said the last sentence, his eyes became bright again.
"If I'm fine, I can continue eating!" The Elf King was calculating this.
"This thing will go bad tomorrow, and you can't eat it." Lin Su refused.
"Ah? Is it like washed fruit?" asked the Elf King.
"Yes." Lin Su raised his eyebrows and said.
The Elf King puffed up his cheeks, looked at the sweet cake and said, "I must eat the cake!"
It was already night when they left. When they came out of the coffee shop, the town was completely plunged into darkness. The Elf King sat on Lin Su's shoulders, shaking his legs and said, "We agreed to take me out to try it tomorrow when I have nothing to do."
