Chapter 78: Why Is It You? (2)
In the past, there used to be someone who would drink coffee that tasted bitter, and she would similarly not add any creamer or sugar into the bitter coffee.
As a result, someone had also curiously asked the woman about the reason. At that time, Qin Huai had just been a chair away from the woman. He had been sitting behind the woman when he heard her saying, “Some things are best in their original state. Long Black is bitter, but after you get over the bitterness at the beginning, you’ll find that creamer and sugar cannot compare to the aftertaste that is left.”
At that time, Qin Huai had accidentally sat close to her. When he overheard what she had said, his heart fluttered slightly.
It was his first time noticing this woman who always drank coffee in the same cafe as him. Consequently, everything that happened later would be out of his control.
Since then, Qin Huai realized that as long as that woman showed up in the cafe, he would subconsciously stare at her, and his gaze would follow her.
He looked at her every move, gaze, and smile. He even kept his eye on her little habits that were unnoticeable to her.
That woman liked to drink coffee that tasted bitter. She liked to sit in that place near the window while she watched the pedestrians come and go outside. She liked to slide her long and slender fingers indistinctly along the edge of the coffee cup when she was bored.
Usually when Qin Huai finally snapped out of a daze, he already quietly stared at the woman for the afternoon until she left.
Every time at this time, Qin Huai would not help but think that the next time they met, he must pluck up his courage to ask for her name and tell her his name.

However, Qin Huai would hesitate each time. Then, he would stare at her in a daze. In the end, after the woman left, he would suddenly snap out of his daze, regret, and feel upset. The same thing happened again and again.
One day, that woman did not show up in the cafe at her usual time. Qin Huai started to feel lost. He initially thought that she had been delayed by something, so it was not a big deal that she was absent for one to two days.
Since then, Qin Huai started sitting in the cafe while waiting for the woman to appear every day. He hoped that the woman would suddenly show up in front of the cafe, push open the door, and enter like she always did.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. After he sadly waited for half a month, Qin Huai finally could not hold himself. He used all sorts of methods to investigate the woman, but it was extremely difficult because he did not know her name.
Yet, he never thought that he would receive news about the woman half a month later on the television, and it was news of her death no less.
The moment he received the news, he broke down. He was not able to tell the woman his name, and he had not even talked to her face-to-face and told her about his thoughts before she had left him forever.
It was only at that time that he knew about her name and her previous occupation.
Qin Huai always thought that her death was an accident due to mission failure. But, it was only after he glanced through the file that his younger brother put at home yesterday that he found it suspicious.
While he was carried away, he had immediately asked the consignor who was put in charge by his younger brother to come out and meet him. He had even taken the file away without asking his brother.

Qin Huai took the coffee that was still releasing hot steam from the table and moved it to his lips. He let the hot steam blur his eyes to hide the real emotions in his heart.
He had investigated all internal members of the police station in relation to the accident, the person who was exactly the same as her, and her small habit that was extremely familiar to him. Was everything just coincidental? Who… was this woman?

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.
