Chapter 135: Mysterious Brain Circuits
The books were divided into two bags, and carrying them was quite heavy—knowledge weighs a lot.
Under the disdainful gaze of the bookstore owner, Xu Qing handed both bags to Jiang He to carry, and they left the bookstore together. The day was still young, just past three in the afternoon. With spring arriving, the days were growing longer, no longer like the dark winter months when nightfall started creeping in by five. Now, the afternoon was only halfway through.
"How about grabbing some milk tea and heading back home?"
"I want kumquat lemon," Jiang He said, effortlessly lifting the books with one hand while fishing out her phone to pay for the drinks with the other. After taking a few steps forward, she added, "Less ice, less sugar."
Adding too much sugar to kumquat lemon tea overwhelms the lemon’s flavor with sweetness. She had tried it once and never liked it again. Out of curiosity, she had also once asked for no sugar at all. The tea shop worker confirmed her order twice before making it, only for it to turn out so sour she couldn’t drink it. Xu Qing ended up taking the drink off her hands, holding his nose as he finished it.
"If you’re buying, you tell the staff yourself. I’m not your mouthpiece," Xu Qing refused to help.
When they reached the shop, Jiang He ordered two cups of the same flavor herself, paid with a WeChat scan, and waited for their drinks. Once the drinks were ready, they each took one, pierced the lids with straws, and started sipping.
The habit of biting on straws was something Jiang He had picked up from Xu Qing. It helped them drink slower, savoring the cool, slightly sour flavor. The drink brought a faint look of contentment to her face.
