My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Love is love.

These have nothing to do with Wang Yuting's age, appearance, or figure.

When Wang Yuting announced to everyone present in the teaching affairs office that she was Lin Jiu's family, Lin Jiu already understood her feelings.

"We will continue to move forward at our own pace, so please don't worry."

Lin Jiu nodded slightly to Supervisor Tan, then turned and walked towards the door.

Supervisor Tan called out, "Wait a minute."

Lin Jiu didn't turn around, but answered with a simple, "What's wrong?"

"I have to apologize to you. I misunderstood you before. You're a real man. You should make her happy."

Manager Tan gave Lin Jiu a thumbs up, her heartfelt blessings for the two of them.

Lin Jiu then turned around and glanced at her, but did not answer; he simply smiled gently.

it is more than words.

When Lin Jiu opened the door, Wang Yuting was leaning against it, and due to her unstable center of gravity, she lurched towards the office. As if he had been expecting this, Lin Jiu opened his arms wide and caught her steadily, preventing either of them from falling.

"Haha, what a coincidence!"

Wang Yuting wore an embarrassed smile, as if she'd been caught eavesdropping, but she hadn't actually heard much. That damned wooden door was too thick! If it were any other broken office door, she would have heard everything clearly long ago, and she wouldn't have been on edge for so long.

"Let's go get some milk tea with a foam topping."

Lin Jiu helped her stand up, patted the dust off her clothes, and asked, "How long has it been since this wooden door was cleaned?"

"Is everything alright? This place is no place to stay any longer, let's get out of here!"

Even her escape was incredibly stylish. Holding up the buy-one-get-one-free coupon for the milk tea as her spoils, she grabbed Lin Jiu's hand and left on the spot. Manager Tan was of no use to her anymore! Goodbye forever, that wicked woman who tried to harm my Lin Jiu!

Lin Jiu watched her retreating figure and followed behind her, a warm feeling slowly emerging in his eyes.

"Thank you, Yuting."

"Jiu'er, what's wrong?"

"You saved me and took me home."

"So that's what you were talking about... Jiu, you've misunderstood something." Wang Yuting turned around, looked intently into Lin Jiu's puzzled eyes, and smiled, "Actually, I took you home because you saved me."

"Is this oolong milk tea?"

Lin Jiu looked at the drink the clerk brought to the table with a surprised expression.

The glass is filled with an amber-colored liquid, with rich cream on top, and glistening droplets running down the glass.

Wang Yuting's drink was green tea with milk foam. She had been claiming that oolong milk foam was the best in the world, but she betrayed them at the last minute.

"This cup costs twenty-five yuan? If it weren't for the buy-one-get-one-free coupon, I definitely wouldn't drink it." Lin Jiu touched the glass with her index finger, shamelessly speaking her true feelings next to Wang Yuting.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, that's what Lin Jiu thinks. He'd rather buy tea leaves and brew his own tea.

Wang Yuting looked at Lin Jiu, revealing a confident smile of mastery, and proudly raised her chin.

Sure enough, she knew that with Lin Jiu's thrifty nature, he would never spend fifty yuan on two cups of tea; at most, he would only buy one for her. However, Wang Yuting wasn't going to enjoy it alone. She had anticipated his thoughts and successfully obtained the coupon.

Wang Yuting wanted to applaud her own cleverness.

Although I don't know what Manager Tan talked to Lin Jiu about, I can tell from the looks of it that it wasn't anything good.

After all, she's an older woman. No matter how well she takes care of herself, anyone who likes to talk too much is still an older woman.

At this moment, Manager Tan was unaware that her image in Wang Yuting's mind had changed from colleague to old woman.

but……

Lin Jiu, who came out of the office, seemed to have become even more handsome than before.

Wang Yuting tried to think it over. Given Lin Jiu's personality, he would probably accommodate her colleague to avoid straining their relationship. However, when it came to matters of principle, he would never back down an inch. This was one of the things Wang Yuting liked about Lin Jiu; he had his own opinions and values, and he would think things through before acting, rather than just following the crowd.

My Lin Jiu is so outstanding!

Wang Yuting smiled even more brightly, revealing her white teeth, and said with a grin, "Try it and you'll know why it's so expensive."

"Ah."

Lin Jiu nodded.

Since Wang Yuting had gone to such lengths to recommend him, he couldn't very well refuse.

Lin Jiu tore off the straw wrapper, but Wang Yuting reached out to stop him.

“Just pick up the cup and drink directly, otherwise you won’t get the milk foam.” Wang Yuting revealed a resolute expression, her face even showing Araki lines, and said in a particularly deep tone that sounded like a famous quote, “Milk foam tea without milk is not milk foam tea at all.”

Is it really that exaggerated?

Lin Jiu put down the straw, picked up the cold cup with both hands, and took a sip.

"Oh oh oh-"

The creamy froth, made by whipping together heavy cream, milk, sugar, condensed milk, and rose salt, has a sweet and salty flavor. Paired with a high-quality tea base, the delicate and smooth texture blends perfectly with the oolong tea flavor, creating an effect that's more than just the sum of its parts. It has a complex taste that leaves a lingering aftertaste, masking the astringency of the oolong tea and highlighting its aroma.

Lin Jiu's eyes lit up, and his adorable expression made everyone around him stare at him unconsciously.

As if she had planned it all along, Wang Yuting took out her phone and snapped ten photos in a row.

Thanks to the 10-shot burst mode, I'll never miss a single exciting moment.

"Is it good?"

Wang Yuting smiled like an aunt, her eyes full of affection as she looked at Lin Jiu.

"It's so delicious! I've never had this kind of tea before."

Lin Jiu nodded repeatedly, his lips still tinged with milky white, making him look even more alluring.

Wang Yuting silently opened the shopping app on her phone and bought a Christmas bikini set without hesitation.

Yes, she bought it for Lin Jiu, not for herself.

Wang Yuting thought for a moment, and realized that Lin Jiu seemed to have said that he would only change into the cosplay outfit if they wore it together.

So she bought a reindeer costume.

That's right, this is the one she's prepared to wear herself.

One Santa Claus is enough!

"Jiu, you should try the green tea milk foam too."

Wang Yuting gently pushed her drink in front of Lin Jiu.

At this moment, Lin Jiu finally understood why Wang Yuting liked oolong milk tea but chose the green tea flavor. So that's why; if they both chose the same drink, they couldn't exchange it. Rather, they only had a chance to exchange flavors if they came to the store together.

"Then you can drink mine too."

Lin Jiu exchanged the oolong milk tea for the green tea milk tea before taking a sip of the green tea milk tea with a clear conscience.

The taste was completely different. I don't know if it was just psychological, but this cup of tea always tasted sweeter.

That's strange, they were clearly all low-ice and normal-sugar.

Wang Yuting took several more photos of Lin Jiu, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Drink up, stop filming."

Lin Jiu subconsciously thought that the tea would get cold if he didn't drink it soon, but thankfully he realized in time that it was tea with ice. His limited knowledge once again suffered a crushing defeat. Although he knew a lot, most of it came from books. Textbooks wouldn't teach you how to drink milk tea with a foam topping... In fact, Lin Jiu had never even drunk bubble tea.

Since meeting Wang Yuting, Lin Jiu has experienced many things she didn't know before.

I always feel that every day is a different scene whenever I'm with her.

"Okay, I'll drink it right away~"

Wang Yuting picked up Lin Jiu's oolong milk tea, ready to take a sip, but just as she was about to touch her lips, she seemed to remember something important, and her face became very serious. She turned the cup around to where Lin Jiu had drunk from, then leaned in to take another sip, revealing a happy smile.

Lin Jiu looked at her helplessly, but didn't say anything.

It's just an indirect kiss, right? We're an old married couple anyway... cough cough, no, that's not it. Lin Jiu shook her head, putting this thought away and hiding it in the corner of her memory bookshelf.

After all, they were already living together, and their everyday furniture and tableware were the same, so there was nothing to worry about. To be honest, Lin Jiu was the one who initiated their first indirect kiss; he even made Wang Yuting drink a large gulp of cola… The expression on Wang Yuting's face when she choked on the carbonated drink had an indescribable air of sullenness that left a deep impression on him.

"Jiu, so you really like green tea milk foam."

Wang Yuting watched Lin Jiu gulp down his tea, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Lin Jiu then realized that she had subconsciously wanted to drink water because of her nervousness, and had drunk half of her green tea milk foam.

"Hmm, I like this flavor. Let me switch with you," Lin Jiu suggested, trying to hide her embarrassment. It wouldn't be right for her to drink half of it and then give it back; that would be too greedy.

"Objection!"

Wang Yuting slammed her hands on the table, pointed a finger in the air, and shouted, "Jingta Miao is talking nonsense!"

"Don't underestimate my observation skills! Your expression becomes happier when you drink oolong milk tea!" Wang Yuting said confidently. "You're clearly thinking about some lewd things and then feeling thirsty, right?"

Lin Jiu was speechless for a moment.

He had always been the one to relentlessly expose Wang Yuting's lies, but now she had the upper hand.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

"...How come he's suddenly become so smart when he's usually so slow-witted?"

"Of course, I won't be careless at all when it comes to things concerning you."

Wang Yuting first put one hand on her hip smugly, but after a while, she finally realized what was going on.

If she guessed correctly, then wouldn't that mean... Lin Jiu really was thinking about Sese?

Wang Yuting blushed and put her hand to her mouth. She reminded him, "Think about that kind of thing when we get home. We're out here now. Or, Jiu Jiu, are you actually an outdoor person? It's not exciting unless you're outside, which is why you kept rejecting me when we were at home. If you're interested in that kind of thing, I'm not a no-go... How about we go see a movie later?"

"No, I didn't mean to! I was just thirsty, that's all."

Lin Jiu subconsciously wanted to take another sip of his drink, but Wang Yuting replaced the green tea milk foam in his hand with oolong milk foam. Her speed was so fast that even Lin Jiu admired her; even though he saw her move clearly, his reaction time couldn't keep up.

"I was just joking with you, don't be angry. Now we're even, this glass is mine."

Wang Yuting shook the green tea milk foam in her hand, as if she were showing off her spoils.
