Sheng Qi stared at her intently. "Are you hoping I'll open the door right now and kick you out?!"
Bai Tang: "..."
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Bai Tang couldn't help but remark, "Beauty, you really are a tough nut to crack, no matter how I try!"
Sheng Qi's face instantly darkened.
"Can you come up with a better metaphor than that?"
"Want some milk tea?" Bai Tang brought the straw to his lips again.
Sheng Qi gave her a cold glance, then looked away and drove off.
Bai Tang withdrew her hand with a cheerful smile, slurped her milk tea, and felt quite pleased.
Through the rearview mirror, Sheng Qi noticed the delighted smile on the girl beside him and couldn't help but silently sigh to himself.
The car stopped at the villa's entrance, and Bai Tang had almost finished the barbecue, though there was still one cup of milk tea left.
"Get some good rest today," Sheng Qi said.
"No tutoring?" Bai Tang asked.
He looked at her pale face, frowned slightly, and then said flatly, "We'll start tutoring together once Zhang Xiaochu is discharged from the hospital!"
Bai Tang clicked her tongue in admiration. "Beauty, are you trying to mold us into pillars of the nation or something?"
"Don't insult the pillars—your IQs aren't enough," Sheng Qi said coldly, looking at her. "Get out."
Bai Tang chuckled. This mouth, truly venomous!
Opening the car door, Bai Tang got out directly.
"Take your milk tea!" Sheng Qi glanced at the remaining cup.
"It's for you!" Bai Tang bent down, leaning on the car window, and grinned at him. "Give it a try—see if it's as sweet as Tangtang?"
With that, Bai Tang turned and walked toward the door, tossing the empty barbecue bag into the trash on the way.
Watching the door close, Sheng Qi finally looked away, his gaze landing on the cup of milk tea resting on the seat.
Ate very little? Easy to please?
He had bought enough for three people, and she'd left only one cup of milk tea!
That's called eating little?!
Letting out a helpless sigh, Sheng Qi drove back to the club.
Parking the car in its spot, Sheng Qi was about to get out when his eyes fell on the milk tea in the passenger seat. After three seconds of silence, he reached out, grabbed the cup, and stepped out.
By now, aside from the drivers still practicing on the track, the rest of the staff had clocked out.
No one noticed Sheng Qi holding a cup of milk tea.
Setting the milk tea on a nearby table, Sheng Qi couldn't help but stare at it. In his mind, the girl's slightly roguish voice echoed: "Sweet milk tea, just as sweet as your Tangtang—sure you don't want to try it?"
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together and looked away, focusing on the computer screen.
But the girl's voice seemed to linger, refusing to fade: "It's got Tangtang's flavor!"
Thinking of the girl who looked so satisfied after just one sip of milk tea, Sheng Qi let out a heavy breath.
He reached for the straw beside him, inserted it into the cup, and took a small sip.
Hmm... terrible!
Sheng Qi set the milk tea down with disdain, baffled by what was so good about it. It was cloyingly sweet... just like her!
His eyes full of contempt, Sheng Qi stared at the milk tea for a full three minutes. Then he reached out again, picked up the cup, brought the straw to his lips, and took a drink.
A few minutes later, Sheng Qi set down the empty cup, his brow furrowed, his gaze still filled with disgust.
Where was the appeal?
How did she manage to down two cups of something this sweet?!
And those bits of fruit and tapioca pearls—practically impossible to swallow!
Staring at the empty cup for a long time, Sheng Qi mused to himself: Three different flavors, and this one was probably the worst!
