"I almost forgot about this!" He turned around and asked Qiao Nian: "Niannian, where do you like to go to drink water?"
"Huh?" Qiao Nian was a little confused by his question.
Drink water
She usually buys a cold drink from a roadside milk tea shop, or a can of frozen Coke from a convenience store. She rarely goes out with others to drink water.
Mr. Ye suddenly asked her where was the best place to have afternoon tea in Beijing, which really stumped her.
"…How about casually?"
Mr. Ye probably saw that she didn't know much about these things, so he immediately said to the driver: "Then find a place where you can drink water."
This was the first time the driver encountered this situation. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, searched for a popular place to drink water nearby on the navigation, and drove there.
Because the driver found the nearest place using the navigation software, it was not far from Tsinghua University, just on the commercial street near the school.
The driver drove to a store and said to the people behind him, "Mr. Ye, Ms. Qiao, we're here."
Qiao Nian had already seen the store, so he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.
She stood by the roadside waiting for Mr. Ye to come down.
Only then did he ask for Mr. Ye's opinion and open the shop door.
"Hello, welcome." The clerk, dressed in fresh clothes, greeted with a smile when she saw a sassy and cool girl leading an old man in.
She was stunned for a moment while holding the order menu: "Uh, two of you?"
Qiao Nian raised her head, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, and said to her naturally, "Do you have tea here?"
This question stumped the young clerk, who stupidly replied, "Does milk tea count?"
"..." Qiao Nian stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, lowering his eyes. He couldn't help laughing. Then he said to the clerk in a very good mood: "Then give me a glass of room temperature lemonade, and a glass of Coke with ice."
The clerk finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said happily, "Okay, sit wherever you want."
Qiao Nian turned around and said something to Mr. Ye, then found a corner seat by the window and sat down, then asked Ye Maoshan: "Do you want some cake? There is cake here."
Before Ye Maoshan followed her in, he didn't notice that the restaurant the driver found was a place where nearby students came to have afternoon tea. Only after he came in did he find that the few scattered tables in the restaurant were all occupied by young girls.
As soon as he, an old man, stepped into the store, he was frequently stared at.
He regretted it himself, but he was already here.
It was not appropriate for him to leave at this time.
Fortunately, Qiao Nian didn't ask him what he wanted to drink and directly ordered plain water for him. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine the pain of choosing among a bunch of fancy drinks.
So when Qiao Nian suddenly asked him if he wanted to eat the cake, he refused faster than anyone else: "No, I don't think so."
Perhaps a little embarrassed, he covered his lips with his hands and coughed softly: "I didn't expect that all the people here are students..."
Qiao Nian naturally leaned back with his arms, resting them on the seat in a very relaxed position, and raised his eyes: "Ah, this place is close to the school, and students should come here to sit when they don't have classes."
Seeing her so relaxed, Ye Maoshan was originally a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but now, under the guidance of Qiao Nian, he naturally relaxed.
Just then the waiter brought up two drinks.
"Give him the lemonade." Qiao Nian said softly.
"OK."
The young clerk placed warm lemon water in front of Mr. Ye and iced cola in front of her.
