Chapter 67 This is too aloof!
"You love me, I love you, Dong Ge's milk tea is so sweet..."
The flagship store of "Dong Ge's Milk Tea" has become the most popular store near the shopping mall on the central street.
If Hu Da is the king of queues in Beijing, then Dong Ge's Milk Tea flagship store is undoubtedly the king of queues in Xinghua City.
Especially in the evenings, on weekends, and holidays, long queues form outside the store, as if people are rushing to buy some scarce goods.
"Why do I feel a particular sense of shame when I listen to this song now?"
As the singer of this song, Shen Jiayi felt a little embarrassed, unsure how to describe that strange feeling.
Despite the song's immense popularity and its status as a signature promotional tactic at Dong Ge's Milk Tea stores, she always felt uncomfortable upon hearing her own cloyingly sweet voice at the event.
Do you have lice?
"Why are you all twisting and turning as soon as we get here..."
Ye Kai, standing beside her, had no such reservations. Seeing that Miss Shen seemed a little restless, he retorted.
"Are you trying to die?!"
Shen Jiayi was so angry she wanted to use a compass to stop him, but she was wearing a very pretty dress today and had nowhere to put the compass, so she had to give up. In addition, there were busy waiters passing by, so she just glared at Ye Kai.
"The value of a boyfriend or girlfriend lies in providing emotional support to each other."
"If I keep quiet, even if I'm very polite, you probably won't be satisfied."
Ye Kai's answer seemed to make some sense to Shen Jiayi.
The two of them walked around the flagship store for a while, then found a table and sat down.
The store manager recognized the two people, so he brought over two freshly made fruit teas from the back and a dessert, and delivered them to them.
After thanking her, Ye Kai told her to go about her own business and not to pay any attention to the two of them.
"It looks like there aren't many people dining in the restaurant."
"No wonder you said you didn't need to leave too much space in the store for tables; it was the right decision."
Shen Jiayi noticed that most customers did not enjoy their drinks inside the store, so she said to Ye Kai.
This is due to different positioning.
"Milk tea shops are not coffee shops; they operate on a low-cost, low-price, and fast-ordering model."
"Customers prioritize food safety and speed. They don't care much about anything else. If the products in the store taste good, then we won't lose money no matter what."
Ye Kai handed one of the small forks to Miss Shen, and the two shared a custard lava cake placed on a disposable paper plate.
"What kind of fruit is this?"
"Oh, the yellow peach tastes pretty good, but it's a little too sweet."
Shen Jiayi inserted the thick straw into the sealed milk tea cup, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.
"This is our new Peach Four Seasons Spring drink, and the main fruit pieces are yellow peaches."
"Although yellow peaches are not currently in season, canned yellow peaches are just as convenient to use and are also safe, making them much better than using fresh fruit."
Ye Kai took the milk tea from Shen Jiayi, who had inserted the straw for him, and casually explained.
Being waited on and served milk tea does feel a little different from usual.
Although the two did not have any real intimate contact, this mutually agreed-upon upgrade in their relationship did bring an unusual emotional impact to each other.
Every time our eyes met, it wasn't like the unspoken understanding we had before in our careers, but rather a fusion of emotions.
This is probably what is meant by "a look that's like silk."
The two also noticed that many young couples would come in pairs to queue up for milk tea, and then go upstairs next door to watch a movie, which had become a standard travel habit.
"Did you deliberately choose to locate all your flagship stores near local cinemas? Was that your plan?"
"What a bright little genius!"
After realizing this, Shen Jiayi couldn't help but praise Ye Kai a couple of times.
"Yes, that's the kind of outstanding person I am."
Ye Kai didn't deny it and accepted Miss Shen's praise with a smile.
Then he started to ponder, "The song 'Someone as Outstanding as Me' sounds really good. Should I copy it... and create it in advance?"
However, even if it is created, it doesn't seem suitable for playing in a bubble tea shop; it's more suitable for a bar environment.
"Buzzing—"
Shen Jiayi's phone suddenly rang, and she had to stand up within seconds of answering it.
"My relatives are visiting, and I have to go back to greet them."
See you at school tomorrow.
When Miss Shen gets serious, she exudes a decisive and ruthless aura.
"See you tomorrow!"
"Is it not my period?"
Ye Kai stood up to see her off, but couldn't resist being cheeky again, earning him a glare.
"hehe."
Watching Shen Jiayi's departing figure, Ye Kai chuckled to himself.
When he turned around to sit down, he was surprised to find that the seat that originally belonged to Shen Jiayi had been occupied by a young woman in her early twenties.
The other person was dressed quite fashionably, wearing a neatly tailored light pink dress with a simple white shirt underneath. The collar was slightly open, and she wore a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, looking casual yet sexy. A metallic belt around her waist made her waist appear even slimmer.
Ye Kai couldn't see her legs, as they were blocked by the table, but judging from her figure, she must have been quite good. At this moment, apart from the faint scent of perfume emanating from her, he couldn't get any other information about her.
The only thing that gave Ye Kai a visual shock was that the other woman's granary was quite full, and it trembled incessantly with the movement of her upper limbs.
That's the real deal!
Ye Kai glanced at it and then looked away, feeling a sense of awe.
But why is the other person staring at him?
Ye Kai silently picked up the milk tea cup, habitually put it in his mouth, and slurped it to ease the inexplicable awkwardness, only to find that the other party was really not polite at all, just staring at him without saying a word.
The atmosphere gradually shifted from strange to somber, like cement drying out, becoming increasingly rigid.
What advice do you have for me?
Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Ye Kai took the initiative to break the ice, slowly cupping his fists and asking her a question.
He found it strange, wondering where he had gotten himself into this trouble. Why was the other party keeping an eye on him? Even if his classmate Ye Kai was good-looking and somewhat handsome, it shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of a rich woman.
"Hello, Ye Kai."
"I am Teacher Zhou, the person you rescued from the rooftop last month."
The woman opposite him finally took off her sunglasses, and Ye Kai's pupils dilated rapidly as her face, mostly covered by a wide-brimmed hat, was amazed by her appearance.
That's so aloof and elegant!
