At first, the market didn't accept A Certain Tea Brand's recipe that used pure milk as the tea base.
People were already used to the taste of milk tea made with all kinds of additives.
So when a healthier version made with pure milk appeared, they found it hard to swallow.
For years, though, A Certain Tea Brand kept promoting it by every means to build their brand.
After several years, most consumers have come to enjoy the flavor of pure-milk milk tea.
Therefore, if Jiang Cheng now uses the same recipe, customers won't reject the taste.
On the contrary, with identical ingredients but a huge price difference, they'll feel the drink is fantastic value.
Most importantly, Jiang Cheng also had Xingchen Entertainment's celebrities take photos and post them on Social Media Platform.
And he appointed Su Wan as the spokesperson for Simple Tea.
This move indirectly raised the brand's prestige.
In truth, people sometimes consume for the sake of vanity.
That's why everyone insists on buying famous brands nowadays.
Even for milk tea, they want a name-brand cup.
With Su Wan's endorsement, their milk tea was no longer a wild-card product.
That indirectly satisfied consumers' vanity.
Right now, a life-size standee stood at the doorway—Su Wan, naturally.
Big Bowl Bowl wore a white sundress, flashed a playful smile at the camera, and held a cup of Simple Tea, beaming sweetly.
Beside her was a line: "Simple Tea, a healthy brew suited for Chinese babies—zero additives, extra nutritious~"
Jiang Cheng had meant to look inside the shop, but just then he spotted a familiar figure in the queue.
Why did she catch his eye? Because the instant she glanced toward the counter, Jiang Cheng was stunned.
What shocked him wasn't just her looks, but the face he had seen before.
Wasn't the Girl waiting in line none other than Si Nian??
But what was she doing here?
Very soon, though, Jiang Cheng sensed something off.
He had driven straight here, and he'd watched Si Nian walk into campus.
There was no way she could arrive before him.
Besides, the clothes didn't match.
Earlier, Si Nian had worn casuals; this Girl was dressed like a spicy bombshell.
A tight cropped long-sleeve tee and a pleated mini-skirt.
Even if she had driven, how to explain the outfit change??
Go back to the dorm, switch clothes, and still beat Jiang Cheng here?
The more he thought, the creepier it felt.
But another idea quickly surfaced… Could this be…?
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng activated Character Scanning System on her.
"System starting; acquiring target data."
[Name: Si Qing]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 167 cm]
[Appearance: 90]
[Figure: 92]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 40]
Reading the stats, Jiang Cheng's eyes widened.
Si Nian and Si Qing??
The name and numbers confirmed his suspicion.
Same surname, identical face, even the same appearance score; only differences—Si Qing was two centimeters taller and her favorability value twenty points lower than Si Nian's.
No doubt about it: Twin Sisters~~
Perfect, just perfect~~
Seeing Si Qing alone, Jiang Cheng had a sudden impulse and walked over.
He deliberately mistook her for Si Nian.
He stepped up, feigned surprise, and said, "Didn't I just drop you at school? How are you here already??"
Si Qing blinked when he spoke to her.
But she quickly recovered; mix-ups like this had happened all her life.
She sized up the handsome guy before her and, intrigued, hooked a mischievous smile.
"Because I've got cloning powers—didn't you know?"
Unfazed and turning the tables, she amused Jiang Cheng.
He frowned theatrically. "Impossible. I drove you into campus and came straight here. Yet you've somehow beaten me to buy milk tea—and changed clothes?? Spooky!"
Si Qing stayed calm. "Told you, I can split myself."
"Show me, then."
"Too crowded; I'd scare people. Next time, when we're alone."
He hadn't expected Si Qing to be so playful—quite different from Si Nian. But different was fun.
"You just offered on wechat to treat me to dinner—how about tonight?"
Si Qing was startled.
Moving this fast?
She'd assumed he was just another average suitor.
So her sister had already asked him to dinner?
Things were clearly complicated.
Afraid she'd give herself away, she rolled her eyes, ready to reveal her identity.
Just then, a man nearing thirty stepped out of the shop.
He glanced around searchingly.
His gaze finally locked on Jiang Cheng for several seconds, as if to confirm something.
After a long look, he strode over.
He bowed respectfully. "Boss, sorry—the shop's hectic, I didn't check wechat and didn't know you were coming. Please come inside."
Jiang Cheng nodded at the store manager. "Manager Chen, no problem. I'm just looking around. Go back in; I'll follow in a bit."
