1245 Side Story 24: Sweet
As Gu Tingyin stood in front of the food display cabinet, she looked at it and said, “This brand’s flagship store is in Bai City. This seems to be their first branch in the Capital. When I was studying in Bai City, I really liked their peanut milkshake!”
Shen Zhijin paused.
“Aren’t you allergic to peanuts?”
“Yes, that’s why I could only smell it every time.” Gu Tingyin scrunched up her nose with a face full of regret, but she quickly pointed to the other desserts in the cabinet. “Their peanut crisps are also their signature dessert. You must try it!”
In the end, Shen Zhijin ordered a cup of peanut milkshake and a peanut crisp. Gu Tingyin ordered a cup of Earl Grey tea.
The two of them chose a seat that was further in.
The first to be served was the peanut milkshake.
Shen Zhijin had just picked it up when a small head moved in closer.
Gu Tingyin’s body leaned forward slightly, and her elegant nose twitched in envy.
“It smells so good!”
Why did she have to be allergic to peanuts?
“It must be delicious. It’s a pity I can’t eat any of it. Shen Zhijin, can you help me eat more?”
She was very close to him, so close that he could see her eyelashes.
He was so close that if he raised his hand slightly, he would be able to touch her soft and fair cheeks.
Soundlessly, Shen Zhijin moved back.
“Yes.”
Gu Tingyin also sat back down. She rested her chin in her hands and urge him with anticipation.
“Quickly, try it!”
He took a sip with a straw, and the rich aroma of peanuts and milk filled the air.
Her dark, round, almond-shaped eyes stared at the peanut milkshake and then at the corner of his lips.
“Is it good?”
Shen Zhijin’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he suddenly felt that the taste of it was a little too sweet.
It was so sweet that it made him even more thirsty.
