He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

It tastes cloyingly sweet with artificial sweeteners, and it's really not very pleasant to drink.

I don't know why so many people like it.

But since it was Shun Ge who said it, Xiao Bai felt embarrassed to refuse.

Seeing how cheerful Li Mei is, she must really like milk tea, right? Maybe I should give her mine too?

Little did he know, people didn't actually like milk tea as much as he imagined.

Everyone just likes to get things for free.

Just kidding, free milk tea always tastes better!

Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?

Noticing that Xiaobai was staring at her, Li Mei quickly took out a makeup mirror from her bag and looked at herself carefully.

No problem, she's a pure and beautiful girl with no makeup.

What is he looking at?

"No, I was just thinking that you seem really happy about having milk tea?"

"I need to correct you. It's not that there's milk tea to drink, it's that there's free milk tea!" she explained solemnly, raising her index finger.

It seems that Xiaobai hasn't yet grasped the joy of getting something for free.

……

……

The five people arrived at the milk tea shop.

"Welcome! Oh, it's you two. Two drinks as usual? Even though the promotion's over, we're still offering 50% off the second drink!"

The milk tea shop staff, who hadn't seen Chen Shun and Yun Yi, two of their regular customers, for a long time, couldn't help but smile with delight when they saw the two enter the shop first.

She should be considered the head of the CP (couple pairing) community.

From the two people who were clearly not a couple, yet awkwardly pretended to be one for a small discount—about six yuan—to later holding hands and walking into the store together, it's clear that I and this milk tea shop have witnessed the budding and growth of their love.

But it seems that the number of times they came gradually decreased later on.

Occasionally, when I'm alone in the empty shop, I miss those two lovely boys and girls.

"Huh? There are other people here?" The shop assistant asked in surprise when she saw the three people who had followed them into the store.

It turns out they weren't the two of them today; no wonder they weren't holding hands.

"Oh right, my daughter and grandchildren," Chen Shun mumbled incoherently.

"Hello, Auntie!" Xiao Di waved and cooperated as always.

After being glared at by the shop assistant, I weakly added:

"Hello, sister... I'd like a cup of pudding milk tea, with milk foam, half sugar and slightly iced."

"Okay, where are the other two?" The clerk looked at the new faces over there.

He's such a handsome guy I've never seen before... It's a pity he's a bit too young.

But I'm only in my early twenties, so it's not like I'm an old cow trying to eat young grass, right?

"I'd like a half-sweet, slightly iced mango pomelo sago dessert! Little Bai, what would you like to drink?"

"I..." Xiaobai looked at the complicated milk tea options and said, somewhat confused, "I'll just drink the same one as Shun-ge."

Why are the bubble tea shops in Los Angeles not quite what I imagined?

The milk tea shop in my hometown is very popular; it's always packed with people after school.

It seems like there's not much of a queue here?

There weren't many people.

And what the heck are these milk teas...?

Flashy and gaudy.

Back in my hometown, all I could find was the simple and straightforward XX milk tea.

xx refers to the toppings you want to add, which are usually just pearls.

Even coconut jelly is not readily available.

"Sister, don't you offer family discounts?" Chen Shun asked.

"Five cups! Five cups! I can't give you a discount." The young lady rolled her eyes at Chen Shun.

"Sister, can I get a discount on my drink?" Yun Yi symbolically took Chen Shun's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

Seeing Yunyi's reaction, the young lady smiled helplessly and gave her a discount on her drink.

"Family discounts, my foot! Your wife... no, your girlfriend, giving birth to such a tiny and adorable child is already considered genetic degeneration, and yet she can give birth to one like that? This isn't just a genetic mutation, it's a genetic miracle!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Li Mei, Xiao Di, and Yun Yi all turned pale.

This young lady has a sharp tongue; she left all three of them speechless.

……

After receiving the milk tea, Xiaobai observed Li Mei's movements.

I'm wondering when I can finally give away the milk tea I have.

Although this was Shun-ge'er's invitation, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to give it back.

But he really couldn't stand the taste of saccharin... it was so cloying he felt like throwing up.

"Li Mei, why don't you drink this one too?"

"Why?" Li Mei drank her mango pomelo sago, looking at Xiaobai with her big eyes, without reaching out to take it.

What's wrong with Xiaobai? Why is she suddenly offering him milk tea?

"I don't really like milk tea, but you seem to really like it..."

“But I already have a cup!” Li Mei showed him the milk tea cup in her hand, indicating that she had one too and didn’t need his.

After a slight hesitation, Xiaobai organized her thoughts:

"But you should still be able to drink, right?"

Li Mei, who was drinking her own portion, almost spat it out.

What did Xiaobai just say?

I think I can still drink it, right?

Can you still drink it?

His tone seemed somewhat uncertain.

Did he think I was some kind of water buffalo that could drink so much water?

Her chest heaved violently with anger.

Look at this, it can only be called a dairy cow at best! Not a water buffalo!

Several "#" symbols slowly appeared on Li Mei's forehead.

"Little Bai... do you mean I can drink a lot? Or do you mean I'm... fat?"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!" Xiaobai explained urgently.

Even his forehead was covered in a layer of sweat from nervousness.

He didn't think about it.

.

I didn't realize that my words would cause such a misunderstanding.

"So what do you mean?"

"I just wanted to give you this milk tea... that's all."

"Oh?" Li Mei looked at Xiao Bai, who was sweating nervously in front of her, and smiled slightly.

"You should know that milk tea is very high in sugar, right?"

"Yeah. I know."

How could he not know?

One bite and it tasted like pure saccharin, not a single trace of milk!

The feeling is like opening your mouth, pouring a spoonful of saccharin into it, then pouring some water in, shaking your head to mix it all together, and that's the taste.

"You knew you'd give me this to drink? Are you trying to make me gain weight?" Li Mei asked with a smile.

She naturally knew that Xiaobai's original intention was not like that.

But that doesn't stop me from teasing him.

At this moment, she began to understand how Yi Yi had felt back then.

So flirting with guys is so fun?

Seeing them realize their mistakes and feel guilty makes my heart race even more!

I want to bully him a few more times!

"No...that's not what I meant...I just don't like drinking this, but I saw you like it, so I wanted to give it to you." Xiaobai was so anxious that her tongue almost tied itself in knots.

No wonder Grandpa said to be careful of pretty women outside.

Li Mei, your angle is just too tricky!

Girls in Los Angeles are terrifying...

If it were from my hometown, I bet they would have already finished both cups and patted their bellies, still complaining that it wasn't enough.
