Chapter 618: 618 Why do you always ask what my Zhouzhou is doing?

Li Xiuli had never heard of the word "milk tea" before. Before she had a chance to ask about it, she heard Tangtang asking for black tea and, while walking out, said, "Sure, Mom will get it for you."

The black tea at home was of fine quality, purchased by Lin Tang.

After brewing the tea leaves, filtering, and pouring in milk, it was boiled again.

Before long, the simple version of milk tea was ready.

"Mom, this is milk tea, you taste it first. I’ll take it to Tang Kairui."

There wasn’t much milk left at home, so she only made five cups’ worth.

While talking, Lin Tang carried the cups out of the kitchen.

Tang Kairui saw her coming out and was about to stand up to take a cup, but Lin Qingshui stepped forward and took the cup from his sister’s hand first.

The handsome young man could only slightly curl his fingers, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Lin Tang didn’t mind and, with a hint of self-satisfaction in her brows and eyes, said, "A unique milk tea, want to try?"

Unique?

"...Could Comrade Gu not have some?" Tang Kairui chuckled.

He said that but softened the moment he smelled the milk tea.

Lin Tang noticed Tang Xiaorui kept asking about her partner and suddenly became wary, "Why do you keep asking about my Zhouzhou?!"

...Surely he wasn’t having thoughts about her partner.

Thinking of Gu Yingzhou’s handsome face that was flawless from every angle, a trace of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

Seeing the expression on Lin Tang’s face, the corners of Tang Kairui’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Worried that he’d be struck by another of her remarks, he put down the cup in his hand and said indignantly, "Lin Xiaotang, what is that expression?"

And what did she mean by he kept asking about Comrade Gu?

If he wasn’t worried that Comrade Gu might misunderstand Lin Xiaotang and hurt their relationship, why would he bother asking so much...

Thinking this, Tang Kairui’s handsome face flushed with frustration.

Lin Tang met his angry gaze, cleared her throat, and said, "I don’t have any particular expression, don’t be so sensitive."

That was practically an admission of fault.

Tang Kairui wasn’t a petty person, especially not towards the little rose in his heart, and his anger dissipated in an instant.

"Hmm, at least you admit your mistakes quickly," he said unyieldingly.

Lin Tang grinned, rebutting with, "That’s still better than you changing your face faster than flipping a book."

At that, Tang Kairui got angry again.

However, thinking of what Lin Xiaotang had just said, he closed his eyes and suppressed the anger welling up inside him.

Temporarily ignoring Lin Tang, he picked up the cup with an expressionless face and took a sip of milk tea.

Sweet, fragrant.

The flavor was an exquisite delight he had never experienced before.

Lin Xiaotang actually had this skill?

Lin Qingshui, knowing that there was a portion of milk tea for him, also took a sip and said with gleaming eyes, "Tangtang, what’s this, it’s delicious."

Lin Tang smiled and explained, "Milk tea, this is just the basic version, it’s even tastier with some additions."

With toppings like tapioca pearls, coconut jelly, sago, and grass jelly, the taste could be enhanced even more.

Lin Qingshui’s eyes widened in amazement, "Ah? It can be even more delicious?"

"Sis, I want to drink it, when will you make it again?!" After speaking, he gulped down several mouthfuls, drinking like a thirsty ox.

In this era, there are few who don’t love sweets.

Milk tea simply opened the door to a new world for them.

Lin Tang thought for a moment, "The toppings need to be prepared, maybe when the opportunity arises, perhaps during the New Year?"

Such a delicious drink, cozying up at home in the winter and enjoying it, just the thought felt wonderful.

Just then, Lin Qingmu returned with the four little ones.

Seeing everyone at home drinking something, they came over wanting to try it as well.

The milk tea was limited, but there were many people at home. By the time they returned, there was only one cup left.

Lin Qingmu, tall and imposing, picked it up and took a sip, swearing because it was so delicious.

"Damn, this is just too good. Tangtang, what is this?"

If he got used to drinking this, would he be able to go back to drinking water sweetened with white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar...?

Lin Tang explained it all over again.

Lin Qingmu used all sorts of exaggerated words to describe the milk tea, calling it a marvel, the world’s number one delicacy, sweet to the core...

That level of flattery was embarrassingly over the top.

Not even gourmets can praise that much!

Seeing that the four little ones at home were about to be annoyed to death by the third child, Lin Qingshui gave his children and nephew the milk tea he himself was reluctant to drink.

"...Drink up," he said with a tone of reluctance.

"How embarrassing," Lin Zhicheng said with a smile, then unhesitatingly took it.

Lin Qingshui: "..." Honestly, I’ve never been so speechless in my life.

Lin Zhicheng divided the milk tea among his brother and sisters, finally drinking his own share last.

Four pairs of eyes instantly brightened up.

"It’s better than soda," Lin Zhixuan suddenly said.

Lin Tang looked at him in surprise, "You still remember soda?"

After several months, she thought he had forgotten.

The little guy nodded, "I remember, there were ’glug glug’ bubbles."

Could Little Zhixuan also have a photographic memory? Lin Tang wondered to herself.

She pushed that thought aside for the moment and said, "You really do remember, you have a good memory."

...In the future, whatever he studies, he’ll do it with ease.

Lin Zhixuan grinned broadly.

As the Lin Family grew crowded, Tang Kairui finished his milk tea and took his leave.

Li Xiuli watched him leave, sighing deeply in her heart.

-

In Jing City, an antique and elegant courtyard where every flower and blade of grass carried a sense of grace.

The Gu Family received a parcel from Anping County.

When the special courier delivered the package, Gu Yu and Ruan Shu were watching TV.

Hearing that the item was from Anping County, Ruan Shu stopped watching TV and somehow produced a pair of scissors.

She violently tore open the large package.

"It must be from Yingzhou, I wonder what he sent, it’s not small at all," said Ruan Shu with a smile on her face.

As she spoke, the well-sealed package fell open.

Looking at the contents inside, she frowned slightly, "What is this, books?"

"Why would Yingzhou send books?" Ruan Shu said with a baffled expression.

What good books could there be in Anping County worth her son going to the trouble to send them?

Gu Yu said calmly, "We’ll know once we take a look."

One person started taking items out while another placed them on the table; eventually, the table was full.

Seeing a whole cured chicken on the table and thinking of his wife’s fondness for it, Gu Yu said, "This chicken looks good, let’s have it for dinner."

The Gu Family wasn’t short of fine things, but because there was a general shortage of meat, even if the house was usually stocked, they couldn’t eat their fill.

It had been some days since they had seen a whole chicken, so it was natural to feel some delight.

Ruan Shu nodded and opened the letter their son had written.

The letter was short.

It had two main points. First, that his partner Tangtang had published a book, and he had sent copies to ensure every family member got one; second, with the New Year approaching, Tangtang had prepared New Year’s gifts for the family in advance.

"I knew it, Yingzhou wouldn’t have sent food just like that, it was Tangtang who prepared it," Ruan Shu said with a smile, turning somewhat disdainful when she mentioned Gu Yingzhou, "Hmph, I knew I shouldn’t have had any expectations for your son..."

How could she have expected that brat to think of sending food home?

That was too much to ask for.

Gu Yu put his arm around his wife’s shoulder and said with a sense of grievance, "Yingzhou isn’t just my son, you know."

Ruan Shu fell silent.

Well, that was true!

Ignoring the topic, she carefully picked up a book and started reading.

What began as a gesture became engrossing once she got into it.
