Chi Yan’s hand was raised and then lowered again because Su Yinhe held him back.
"Chi Yan, don’t be impulsive." Seeing how furious Chi Yan was, Su Yinhe was genuinely afraid he might strangle Lin Murong to death.
"Hey hey hey! You aren’t seriously thinking about killing me, right? Oh my God, Galaxy, you absolutely can’t be with this kind of guy; he has a violent streak," Lin Murong provoked, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
Lin Murong did indeed get beaten up.
In the end, it was Su Yinhe who, seeing Lin Murong getting too severely thrashed, stopped Chi Yan.
"Chi Yan, I feel like drinking milk tea, could you make some for me?" Let’s not beat Lin Murong anymore; if you keep it up, he might really die.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Chi Yan said, changing his expression in a second. One moment he was coldly beating Lin Murong, and the next, he wore a gentle smile.
He was good at changing faces.
"So, what kind of milk tea would you like?"
"I, uh, want Strawberry Milk Tea," Su Yinhe said, just wanting to distract him to let Lin Murong catch his breath and live a little longer.
"Alright." Chi Yan agreed and went to make the Strawberry Milk Tea.
Su Yinhe lightly kicked Lin Murong, who was on the ground, "How many times? Count how many times you’ve been beaten because of that mouth of yours?"
"Not many, just a few hundred times I guess," Lin Murong coughed a few times and then got up again.
He continued eating his strawberries, the ones he had painstakingly washed; he couldn’t just not eat them.
Strawberries, you see, spoil easily if left too long.
His precious strawberries couldn’t just go to waste.
Lin Murong ate and ate, one strawberry at a time, sometimes even three at once.
She was truly envious of Lin Murong’s mouth; having a big mouth was great, able to fit three large strawberries at once.
After finishing a basket, Lin Murong asked Su Yinhe for another one and washed it again.
But this time, his washing wasn’t for eating but for making milk tea.
Chi Yan had gone down to make Su Yinhe her Strawberry Milk Tea; he couldn’t fall behind.
This time, Lin Murong washed the strawberries very diligently because this time it wasn’t just for his own consumption; they had to be perfectly clean.
After washing, he took the basket of strawberries and ran to join Chi Yan in making the milk tea.
Just Strawberry Milk Tea, right?
Chi Yan could do it, and so could he.
Lin Murong, a very awesome person.
Yes, he, Lin Murong, was someone better than Chi Yan.
Lin Murong brainwashed himself, and as he did, he started believing it himself.
Then, just as he arrived, Chi Yan had already finished making the milk tea.
And there were six cups.
"Here they are. You’re late. You’re too slow," Chi Yan said, bumping into him on purpose as he left.
Chi Yan, a very hateful person.
"You better hurry up. Don’t let Galaxy finish her milk tea before you’ve even made yours," Chi Yan continued to provoke.
Chi Yan was always very good at saying the most heart-stabbing words in the most nonchalant tone.
"You, you, you... are you looking down on me? That’s so mean," Lin Murong was infuriated.
"Depends on how you see it," Chi Yan tossed this line before walking away with the six cups of milk tea, leaving Lin Murong fuming alone.
Darn, that was infuriating.
Lin Murong felt like he was about to explode.
After Chi Yan left and after Lin Murong sulked for a bit, he started making the milk tea, perhaps remembering what Chi Yan had said, as he was quite hurried.
And hurrying, as expected, leads to mistakes; his first cup was a failure.
Lin Murong stuffed the failed strawberries into his mouth and ate them.
He wanted to make a special cup of Strawberry Milk Tea but needed to think it through, how to do it; whenever he thought about stuff, he craved eating, and the nearest thing to eat was what?
"Of course, it had to be strawberries."
Lin Murong gobbled up all the strawberries in one go.
By the time he finally decided what to do, the strawberries were all gone.
Lin Murong stared at the empty basket in a daze.
No way, he hardly ate any.
Where did all the strawberries go?
How could the strawberries be gone so quickly?
With no strawberries left, what about his Strawberry Milk Tea?
As Lin Murong watched, he couldn’t help but slap himself.
His damned mouth, why did it have to be so greedy?
But there was no helping it, strawberries were just too delicious.
Those seductive little berries, tempting him, what could he do?
Was he supposed to reject them?
He couldn’t reject them at all.
But, the real issue was, what about the milk tea?
What if Galaxy had already had her fill of milk tea by the time he finished making it?
Lin Murong ruffled his hair, feeling really troubled.
He now deeply regretted thinking too much; as he thought, he ended up eating all the strawberries.
He shouldn’t have thought so much, boo-hoo...
How could he have eaten them so fast? Even one left would have been fine.
Lin Murong thought long and hard and decided to switch to a different milk tea.
He figured, since Chi Yan had already made so many cups of Strawberry Milk Tea.
Chi Yan’s skills were such that if he tried making more Strawberry Milk Tea, it definitely wouldn’t compare to Chi Yan’s.
So he might as well switch it up.
But besides strawberries, what else special and suitable for making milk tea in winter...
Lin Murong furrowed his brows and thought for a long time, finally snapping his fingers when he got an idea.
Besides strawberries, there was taro.
He wouldn’t make Strawberry Milk Tea then; he’d make Taro Bubble Milk Tea instead.
Taro Bubble Milk Tea, perfect for winter.
And moreover, Taro Bubble Milk Tea would definitely taste better than Strawberry Milk Tea.
Because the Taro Bubble Milk Tea would be made by him, Lin Murong, and surely would be better than what Chi Yan made.
Taro puree, taro puree, first need to prepare the taro puree, to make taro puree, first need to prepare taro.
Lin Murong went out to find taro.
Supermarkets sold taro, and Lin Murong easily found it.
After finding the taro, he started to cook it.
Once cooked, he ate a few taro, it had been so long since he last ate them, he was quite nostalgic.
Then, as he continued eating, he ended up eating all the cooked taro.
When Lin Murong realized this, he still had half a taro in his hand.
Half a taro, specifically half a taro he had eaten, wasn’t likely enough to make taro puree. Lin Murong agonized for half a minute and decided to finish eating the remaining half taro.
As for the taro puree he needed to make, he would just cook another batch.
While Lin Murong was cooking taro, Su Yinhe had already finished the Strawberry Milk Tea that Chi Yan had made for her.
She was getting ready to drink a second cup.
"Galaxy, don’t drink too much though it’s tasty."
"Huh? You think I’m drinking too much?" Su Yinhe raised an eyebrow.
"No, I’m just worried you might feel too full later," Chi Yan said, looking at her sincerely.
"It’s okay. If it comes down to it, I’ll just take some digestive tablets like Lin Murong." Well, one can indeed learn something from Lin Murong.
