Chapter 259: Is the Milk Tea Tasty?
Is it a boy, like a girl? Or is it a girl, like a boy?
Ah geez... every single day, will things ever get better?!
Lin Yibai was feeling a little annoyed. She opened the car door, and as soon as she sat in the front passenger seat, she saw Xia Changyu suddenly grab her hand...
No way! It was broad daylight, and they were still at the school gate with lots of people around!
She thought maybe he was acting up again.
She puffed up her pretty lips and said, “We’re in the car now, and there are so many people outside. Can you please behave a little?”
Xia Changyu looked surprised, “Behave how?”
Then he quickly realized what she meant, and the next second, he felt a little embarrassed.
When had it gotten to the point that, in Lin Yibai’s eyes, his image had become nothing but "thirsty"?
But maybe it was true? Like that time on the sofa...
He had often asked for more again and again, right?
But that wasn’t his fault! If anything, it was because his girlfriend was just too attractive, too delicious.
He gently squeezed her slightly cold fingers, then put a warm milk tea into her hands and said, “I got this from that milk tea place in Ansheng World Mall. I hope you like it.”
Lin Yibai raised an eyebrow and asked, “You mean that super popular milk tea place? I heard that ever since a famous influencer showed it off online, it’s been really hard to get a cup!”
Xia Changyu smiled, “It’s not that bad, actually.”
Lin Yibai said, “Thank you.”
Xia Changyu was quiet for a moment, then finally said, “You don’t have to thank me. Actually, before I even bought the milk tea, I was ready for you to scold me. I thought you’d say something like, ‘It wasn’t necessary,’ or ‘That shop’s just overhyped marketing.’”
Lin Yibai finally laughed and said with a proud smile.
“Well, you really are my boyfriend after all, you know how I think. If you had told me you were going to go through all that trouble to buy it, I probably would’ve scolded you. But since you already brought it, what’s the point of scolding now?”
Xia Changyu asked, “Why not?”
Lin Yibai softly said, “Sometimes, romance is something people create. If you’re willing to give me surprises and show me love, then I have no reason to stupidly push it away, right?”
Xia Changyu finally let out a breath and said with relief, “As long as you don’t feel uncomfortable, then no matter how hard it was, it’s all worth it... You’re really thoughtful.”
Lin Yibai shook her head and replied, “I’m just putting myself in your shoes. I know that boys and girls think differently. I also know that guys can be pretty direct. The way they show love might be weird or even seem silly sometimes. But if it were me... I’d be willing to try and accept the way they show their feelings.”
And that’s exactly why he liked her so much.
He didn’t have to overthink things every day, trying to guess his girlfriend’s mood like he was in a spy movie or playing a mind game.
Honestly, in a relationship where both people respect each other, is it really that hard for a boyfriend and girlfriend to understand one another?
Well... it kind of is.
No one’s perfect. Lin Yibai was just trying to be the kind of girl she herself would respect, based on her own experiences.
At the very least, she would never show the annoying traits she used to dislike in other girls.
She took a deep breath and stopped overthinking.
“Pop~” The straw poked into the milk tea cup.
After putting on her seatbelt, she took a small sip.
Xia Changyu started driving them back to the apartment. By now, he was more familiar with that place than his own place. The road to her apartment already felt like going home.
She said, “It’s really good~”
Girls, you know, sometimes it’s good to praise your boyfriend a little!
What should you praise? Everything, of course. Get it?
But more than the tasty milk tea, what made Lin Yibai happiest today was the “Good Citizen” banner she received.
Suddenly, she remembered some scenes in anime where girls would place milk tea on their chest.
Honestly, she had changed a lot compared to before. She used to think it was weird, but now she felt a sense of pride because of her chest size.
Considering her big chest, size D cup! It had even reached the point where small objects could be placed on top of it.
So, learning from anime, she placed the milk tea on top of her chest. Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly,
"Hey hey hey! It works! Changyu, look! I can really put something here!"
Xia Changyu had a very helpless look on his face.
He needed to focus on driving and couldn’t afford any mistakes, but he couldn’t help wanting to glance at the passenger seat.
There, the milk tea cup was really sitting right on top of the girl's "mountains". It was quite a shocking sight.
But no. He had to stay focused on the road.
Now was absolutely not the time to get distracted.
Trying to shift his attention, Xia Changyu asked, "So, what’s the deal with that ‘Good Citizen’ banner of yours?"
If you asked about that, Lin Yibai instantly perked up! She quickly started telling him everything that happened, hoping her boyfriend would praise her.
But Xia Changyu just nodded.
He didn’t say it was bad, but he didn’t say it was good either.
After thinking for a bit, he said, "If possible, try not to do such dangerous things again, okay? I know it was a good deed, but I really don’t want you to get hurt."
Lin Yibai smiled sweetly and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
Xia Changyu answered seriously, "I’m just talking about this issue. I honestly hope the girl I like is a kind person. But more than that, I want her to stay safe and sound."
Lin Yibai laughed and said, "You’re something else!"
Xia Changyu asked, "Are you saying I’m old-fashioned?"
Lin Yibai shook her head and said, "No, I just think you’re too honest. I thought you’d be like some other guys who love to show off and say stuff like, ‘If you’re ever in danger, I’ll show up and protect you!’ You know, the kind of guy who brags a lot in front of girls."
Xia Changyu looked shocked, "What are you talking about? This is about your safety, how could I joke about that or use it to show off?"
Lin Yibai giggled: "Hehehe~"
Maybe this was also why she really liked him. Otherwise, how could they have gone from a love rival to being a couple?
To be honest, if it started as revenge on her love rival, then in the end, she had already lost. Not only did she lose, she might even end up marrying the guy she was once fighting over. Isn’t that funny?
Ugh, don’t think about that.
Lin Yibai held up her banner proudly. This was a big honor for the Lin family!
“Ssshhh~~” She sipped her milk tea. It really was tasty!
But at that same time, she felt someone looking at her. The look was quick and sneaky, but she caught it from the corner of her eye.
They were waiting at a red light.
Lin Yibai asked, “Do you want to try drinking milk tea placed on top of my... ahem?”
Xia Changyu sat up straight and said seriously, "Don’t mess around. I’m focusing on driving!"
Alright, alright.
So your mouth says no, huh?
Lin Yibai leaned slightly toward him, and the milk tea tilted in his direction too.
She glanced at the traffic light timer and said casually, “There are still 20 seconds until it turns green. So it’s totally safe right now!”
Xia Changyu stared at the red light.
But in just a few seconds, time had already passed... Oh no, less than 15 seconds left!
He quickly asked, “Baiyi, what are you trying to do?”
Lin Yibai smirked, “What could I mean? I’m just saying... if you want it, drink. If not, then don’t.”
Xia Changyu: !!!
Lin Yibai grinned, “Ah, look, only 10 seconds left—no wait, 8... 7...”
Aaaahhh!!
Was she a little devil?
He was completely under her control, totally powerless to resist.
