Chapter 662 - Milktea is Soulless Without Pearls (2/2)
“You’d better make sure you come up with something interesting to deal with me. Otherwise, it will be a boring game for me,” smirked Zhang Heng. He glanced at the milk tea shop and reminded the creature, “Your milk tea is ready. Let me give you a piece of advice for free as well. Well, if you want to pretend to be a human, you should learn a little bit more about our culture. Milk tea without pearls is just wrong.”
After that, Zhang Heng walked toward the bus station at 102nd-Street. Bai Qing and Chi Jia had just arrived, and they were looking for him in the crowd. Immediately, Zhang Heng waved to them, walked over, and handed them the milk tea he just bought.
The college student did not follow Zhang Heng again after that. He stayed at the milk tea shop, took his cup, inserted a straw into it, and took two sips from it. He then frowned and said to the lady in the milk tea shop, “Give me some pearls.”
“Ah, sorry, sir. I can’t add the pearls to a cup that’s sealed.”
“That’s very sweet of you,” Chi Jia said, “but I remember that you can’t bring drinks to the concert.”
“You are supposed to finish it before the concert starts. We still have an hour and a half left,” Zhang Heng said.
“Well, guess I’ll be having it now.” Chi Jia picked the strawberry milk tea.
Zhang Heng then handed the chocolate-flavored one to Bai Qing. He had bought milk tea for Bai Qing before, so he knew what flavor she fancied. At the same time, he received a message from Qin Zhen on WeChat.
“My friend is here as well. Let’s go there now. We can get something to eat if we arrive there early.”
“Okay.” Chi Jia and Zhang Heng were not familiar with each other. She was a very outgoing and active girl, never afraid to bring up a conversation with a stranger. And she could also speak eloquently when partic.i.p.ating in a recitation contest with all the people looking at her below. On the contrary, Bai Qing, who sat next to Zhang Heng in the cla.s.sroom, would usually talk to Zhang Heng from time to time. Tonight, though, she seemed a little quiet.
In order to save time, the three of them decided to walk a little further to get a taxi.
He glanced at the milk tea shop again and found that the college student was still standing there. He seemed to have paid for another cup of milk tea with pearls in it.
Chi Jia followed his gaze and asked, “Is there anyone you know over there?”
Bai Qing became nervous when she heard the question.
“No, I saw someone that looked like my former neighbor.”
As Zhang Heng opened the door and entered the pa.s.senger seat, he told the driver, “Please bring us to the old stadium.”
“Okay.” The taxi driver started the meter and changed gears skillfully while stepping on the pedal.
As the car accelerated, the college student and the milk tea shop gradually faded away in the rearview mirror.
Tonight, traffic was in gridlock outside the old stadium. There were cars everywhere, as well as buses that were impatiently honking away. Zhang Heng, Chi Jia, and Bai Qing had to get off the taxi 200 meters away from the old stadium and walk to their destination.
Along the way, they came across tons of GEM’s fans who were eager to watch the concert. At the same time, ticket resellers asked if the three had bought any tickets. Some of the more business-savvy vendors had quickly set up shop around the stadium, selling GEM’s merchandise.
People flooded the plaza outside the stadium.
Since Qin Zhen arrived first, he took the initiative to line up and buy glow sticks. After that, he went to the Burger King next to him to buy his dinner. People were lining all the way outside the restaurant. He would have to wait at least forty minutes to get his meal. And he could only order whatever that was left in the restaurant.
