Chapter 213 [Irresistible Sweetness 012]

On the way back, Shu Tang was normal, still talkative and laughing with him.

Xiao Guxing had only a faint smile on his lips, occasionally responding with a few words.

"I want to drink that milk tea." Shu Tang's mouth was a little dry from talking. Just then, she saw a milk tea shop by the roadside and quickly rolled down the car window and shouted, "Xiao Guxing, stop the car, stop the car, stop the car now!"

Xiao Guxing glanced at the milk tea shop with more than ten people taking pictures outside and parked his car on the side of the road.

Shu Tang quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the car door when she suddenly remembered something. She blinked and looked at the man, "Um... this... could... could you..."

Seeing her deliberately coy demeanor, Xiao Guxing couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He then took out his wallet and gave her a five thousand ruble note.

"That's too much, we don't need the milk tea..."

"Take it."

"it is good."

Shu Tang smiled and agreed, then pushed open the car door and got out. As she walked, she mentally calculated how much five thousand rubles were in RMB.

She obediently walked to the back of the line and joined the queue. As the people in front walked, she followed suit.

Xiao Guxing sat in the car watching her, his fingers lightly twirling, before finally looking away. About twenty minutes later, Shu Tang came over with two cups of milk tea and two colorful ice creams.

There were two small cream puffs in the other bag.

His car window was down. He paused for a moment when he saw what she was holding. He was about to say that he didn't drink milk tea but would drink ice cream, but she had already handed it to him.

"It looks delicious, you should try it." Shu Tang revealed her dimples, her clear eyes sparkling in the golden sunlight.

The ice cream wasn't very big. Xiao Guxing took the milk tea and cream puff from her hand and said, "Let's get in the car first."

Shu Tang nodded, quickly walked around the front of the car, sat in the passenger seat, and, remembering that she hadn't posted on WeChat Moments in a long time, took out her phone to take a picture of the ice cream in her hand.

After thinking for a moment, she placed the two cups of milk tea behind her. "Come here, I want to take a picture. This ice cream looks beautiful, it would be a shame not to take a picture."

Xiao Guxing hesitated for two seconds, but seeing how excited she was, he still cooperated and handed over the ice cream, letting her grab it and adjust its position.

Shu Tang took a picture, and once she was satisfied, she didn't pay any more attention to it. She focused on eating ice cream first, and then on eating cream puffs.

She offered one to Xiao Guxing, but Xiao Guxing declined, saying, "You eat it."

Shu Tang didn't force herself; she was happy to eat two. As the car started, she sipped her milk tea while changing the filter on the picture, commenting, "This milk tea is so sweet! I only asked for 30% sweetness, and it's still so sweet."

"You don't like sweet things, so you probably won't like this milk tea either. You shouldn't drink it." Shu Tang smacked her lips. "I think the milk tea I made the day before yesterday was better than this."

"This milk tea costs 420 rubles a cup," Shu Tang pondered. "At that rate, I could easily sell my milk tea for 500 rubles a cup."

"What? You want to open a shop again?" Xiao Guxing asked jokingly.

"I'd rather not open a shop, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make a profit. I don't have the brains to do big business either," Shu Tang said casually, taking another sip of her milk tea. "But setting up a stall is still an option, to earn some pocket money."

Of course, the idea only flashed through her mind briefly, and she didn't really intend to do it.

After all, it's still quite cold today, and she's not short of money, so she doesn't need to set up a stall.

"I haven't been to the supermarket yet, have I? I haven't been to any supermarkets in Moscow." Shu Tang suddenly said, "I'll buy more ingredients for making milk tea, as well as ingredients for mochi and double-skin milk. I'll give some to the neighbors tomorrow. I saw that the adults didn't get any the day before yesterday."

Xiao Guxing nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two then went to the supermarket again. When they went in, Shu Tang was already drinking her second cup of milk tea.

"Didn't you say it didn't taste good? Why are you still drinking it?"

“We’ve already paid for it, so we can’t waste it. It’s a bit sweet, but not awful.” Xiao Guxing smiled and didn’t say anything. He led her straight to the ingredients section. She picked up something and asked him, “What’s written on this? What are the ingredients?”

Xiao Guxing then translated it for her one by one.

Then Shu Tang started throwing things into the basket with a 'bang bang bang' sound.

In no time, the basket was full.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Xiao Guxing asked.

Shu Tang pondered, "Let's go check out the fruit and vegetable section."

She ended up selecting several kinds of fruit in the fruit section, and didn't miss out on the vegetable section either. As for meat, Xiao Guxing had already bought it last time, so she didn't need to buy any more.

When it came time to pay, Shu Tang felt a little guilty seeing how long the bill was.

She cleared her throat. "Don't worry, today's shopping is all on me. I'll convert it to RMB and transfer it to you tonight, or I'll keep track of it and settle everything later."

"There's no need to calculate so precisely. It's alright, I'll eat all of this anyway."

"Yes, I know, but let me tell you, we still need to calculate the amount later. I'll transfer whatever amount to you then, and you can keep it. You can't refuse."

Xiao Guxing smiled and said, "Okay."

Perhaps feeling that his eyes were magical, Shu Tang stared at him for a while, as if she were about to be captivated by them.

She hastily looked away, using a small snack in the distance as an excuse, "Hey, I want to buy this, I'll go get it, wait a minute."

Xiao Guxing watched her run over happily, take two boxes of candy, and then come back.

He calmly and naturally took out his bank card to pay, then carried the two bags out of the supermarket.

When they got home, it was already dark. After Shu Tang helped carry a bag of things inside, she sprinted straight to the bathroom.

I drank too much milk tea.

I felt really suffocated halfway through the journey.

She was too embarrassed to say it.

After coming out of the restroom, Xiao Guxing asked her what time she was going to eat. She waved her hand and said, "Later. I had two cups of milk tea and I'm very full now."

Xiao Guxing nodded. "I've put your paints in the warehouse. The warehouse door has a password. I'll send it to you on WeChat later so you don't forget it."

Upon hearing this, Shu Tang pouted and protested, "Who are you implying is mentally challenged by saying that?"

Xiao Guxing laughed and said, "I didn't mean that, don't take it personally."

Shu Tang rolled her eyes at him and held out her hand, "Use your phone to search for the color I want."

Xiao Guxing took out his phone from his pocket, tapped a few times on it, and then handed it to her.

She accepted it without hesitation. It was all in Russian, which Shu Tang couldn't understand, but it had pictures on it. Shu Tang even checked the buyer's reviews, just in case the color was different from what she wanted.

She visited several more places, and whenever she encountered something in Russian that she didn't understand, she would ask Xiao Guxing.

She looked at them for about ten minutes before placing an order.

"Have you read the book I gave you?" Xiao Guxing asked casually as he took the phone.

"I read it." She straightened up and praised earnestly, "You're amazing! With all those notes next to it, I actually understood about 70-80% of it, but without that book, I can't quite grasp it."

No update at midnight, don't wait up, my darlings, I'm so sleepy, I can't type another word. Come back this afternoon, mwah!
