One cup of lemon tea is 15 yuan, and a cup of taro milk tea with a snow top is 22 yuan.
These three drinks alone cost 59 yuan, not counting the few loaves of bread the two Girls bought.
Although the total value was less than 100 yuan, this price was indeed a bit expensive for some college students.
However, this was the K11 Business District, a place where land was worth its weight in gold, so the rent was naturally terrifyingly high.
With the profit margins of Simple Tea, opening in such a high-rent area...
...it would probably just end up being harvested like leeks, wouldn't it?
Even with a high volume of orders, the monthly profit would likely only just cover the store's rent.
Isn't this clearly just working for free to pay the mall's rent?
Unless Simple Tea could launch some new, higher-priced menu items.
Or open another high-end brand of milk tea.
Otherwise, it would be truly difficult to survive in this area.
The two didn't intentionally lower their voices, so the boy standing behind them heard everything clearly.
The smugness from earlier instantly froze on his face, and his heart skipped a beat: "What the hell? An 80,000 yuan red envelope? So he really is a Second-generation rich..."
He remembered how he had just been showing off Chanel to the Girl and mocking Jiang Cheng for "putting on an act."
His cheeks instantly burned, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Before he could recover, the Girl beside him already rolled her eyes at him.
Her tone was full of mockery.
"Why aren't you talking now? Didn't you just say he was a pauper who even let a Girl pay for milk tea? Weren't you quite the show-off? He casually gave two Girls an 80,000 yuan red envelope; can you do that? And he seems to own a milk tea shop; what about you? You even have to take time off just to go out on a date..."
The boy was silenced by the verbal lashing and could only twitch the corners of his mouth awkwardly.
His eyes darted around, not daring to look toward Jiang Cheng again.
When they arrived earlier, the two Girls had already agreed that they must pay for the meal today.
So Jiang Cheng naturally let Si Nian pay with a clear conscience.
He was a good man, not a simp.
There was no way he'd be afraid that the two Girls would get angry just because he didn't pay once, okay?
Furthermore, if the two Girls were really that kind of people, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have patiently wasted so much time on them.
If they were that kind of Girls, he'd just throw money at them, and they could probably have a threesome tonight, right?
Besides, relationships are all about give and take.
It can't just be Jiang Cheng putting in all the effort.
Although Si Qing also said that they could afford to spend so generously this time...
...mainly because Jiang Cheng had given them a huge red envelope during the Lunar New Year.
But regardless, they were willing to take out their money and spend it on Jiang Cheng.
This was much better than those women who only know how to ask you for money but wouldn't spend a cent on you, right?
Besides, isn't it only through giving that things become meaningful?
However, for simps, they probably wouldn't understand this logic.
Soon, the three of them got their milk tea first.
While waiting for the bread to be sliced and packed...
...the two Girls naturally sat together.
Then they each picked up a cup of milk tea and started fiddling with their phones.
First, they each held a cup of milk tea with a straw inserted, then they posed and gave sweet smiles to the camera.
With a "click," a photo of them holding milk tea was born.
After taking that one, the two Girls held the milk tea to their lips again, pretending to take a sip.
Their heads were pressed tightly together...
...as they started taking selfies again.
After finishing those, the two Girls continuously changed various poses and facial expressions.
Sometimes pouting to look cute, sometimes making funny faces.
If this were any other time...
...Jiang Cheng probably wouldn't have been able to resist complaining: "I've finished my lemon water, and you two still aren't done taking photos!"
But unfortunately, charm is justice.
Not to mention the other party was a pair of twins.
Watching the two Girls finish taking photos and start editing them and choosing filters, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.
However, he didn't feel annoyed.
Instead, he found the scene quite interesting.
Just then, after the two Girls exchanged a look, Si Qing suddenly asked Jiang Cheng.
"Big shot, can we take a photo together?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng naturally nodded: "Of course."
Although, as a good man, he wouldn't proactively take photos with them...
...he naturally wouldn't refuse when a Girl asked to take a photo.
Seeing Jiang Cheng agree, Si Qing, who was originally sitting next to Si Nian, stood up and sat beside Jiang Cheng.
With one Girl on each side, Jiang Cheng was instantly sandwiched in the middle.
After the two Girls looked at each other, Si Nian was the first to ask, "Can you recognize who I am?"
Si Qing followed up, "Yeah, can you recognize who I am?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng once again resorted to his old trick.
He turned his head and kissed Si Qing directly.
"Does that even need to be said? You're Si Nian, I'm not wrong, am I?"
Compared to the kiss just now, this time Jiang Cheng kissed her on the cheek.
This made the two Girls' reactions noticeably smaller than before.
Seeing Jiang Cheng so seriously believing he "hadn't recognized the wrong person"...
...the corners of both Girls' mouths couldn't help but curl up, their eyes revealing a bit of helplessness and amusement.
Seeing that they didn't respond immediately, Jiang Cheng instantly widened his eyes exaggeratedly.
He even slapped his thigh in a performative way.
He said, "No way, no way? Did I really guess wrong? But you were clearly the one who asked if I wanted to take a photo, and you were the one who proactively came over to take it with me. You're the one closest to me; don't tell me you're not Si Nian!"
Jiang Cheng's meaning wasn't that he could actually recognize them.
He was clearly just making a blind guess based on the "whoever is closer" standard.
The two looked at each other, both amused by his little scheme.
Si Nian suppressed her laughter and followed along with his words, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, you guessed right! She is Si Nian!"
