CH 29.1

There were still a few customers queuing up in front of a chain milk tea shop with a good business, and there were quite a lot of takeout orders. The staff, busy with various tasks, and said to the customer in front without raising his head: “Excuse me, May I take your order.”

Gu Fei, looking at the fancy drink names on the menu, felt indecisive for the first time. He rarely drank beverages like milk tea and let alone bought them himself.

Despite being a decisive figure in the business world, Gu Fei hesitated for quite some time without uttering a word. With customers behind him in the queue, the staff grew impatient. “What do you want to order?”

As she spoke, she finally looked up at the customer who had yet to place an order. She visibly paused for a couple of seconds upon seeing him. The magnetic yet aloof voice sounded by his ear, “What’s the signature drink here?”

The staff blushed slightly, the trace of impatience had long been It completely disappeared, replaced by a warm yet shy smile, and he deliberately pushed his broken hair behind her ears.

“Sir, our signature drink is Mango pomelo sago. It has a refreshing taste and is generously loaded with ingredients. We use fresh seasonal fruits, It is very suitable for such a hot summer…”

Gu Fei found the staff too noisy, completely oblivious to her expressions and didn’t pay attention at all.. He spoke expressionlessly and coldly, “One Mango pomelo sago1Mango pomelo sago (杨枝甘露) , no ice, with five percent sugar, thank you”

A few minutes later, Gu Fei carried the packaged Mango pomelo sago and walked among all the clerks and customers. Under the watchful eyes, he walked out as if there was no one else around.

Lin Qingyan sat on a bench by the street, looking around somewhat bewildered. Gu Fei had asked him to wait here, but he didn’t know where the man had gone. He patiently waited for about ten minutes before finally seeing Gu Fei walking around the corner, holding a cup of beverage.

Oh… so, when Gu Fei asked him if the milk tea was good, it was because he wanted one for himself and had gone to buy it.

Lost in his thoughts, Lin Qingyan waved as Gu Fei approached. However, to his surprise, Gu Fei handed the bag he was holding directly to him, saying, “Hold this.”

Lin Qingyan: ?

Gu Fei said, “For you to drink.”

Lin Qingyan hesitated, looking at the half-drunk milk tea in his hand, then at the other cup placed in front of him. He glanced at the man’s calm and indifferent expression and found himself momentarily speechless.

He thought Gu Fei had bought the drink for himself, not for him. But he already had one. Why would Gu Fei go through the trouble of buying another one? What kind of operation was this?

“This one tastes better,” Gu Fei affirmed.

Lin Qingyan: ?

Then, Gu Fei directly took the half-drunk milk tea from his hand, handed his own purchased cup to him, and calmly stared at him.

Lin Qingyan: “…”

Although he didn’t understand, Lin Qingyan still took the cup of Mango pomelo sago, opened the straw, and took a sip. Indeed, it tasted much better than the previous one—refreshing, not overly sweet, with lots of toppings and fruit. It was very satisfying with just one sip.

Smiling, he praised sincerely, “This one tastes even better.”

Gu Fei responded with a reserved “Hmm,” turned around, and walked forward. As he did, he casually tossed the milk tea he had taken from Lin Qingyan into a nearby trash bin. The cup sailed through the air, tracing a perfect curve, and landed accurately in the bin.
