But you can't exactly say that she went to Chu Yang's house for the holiday with Shen Li, or Shu'er would be heartbroken.

That wretched Chu Yang, why do you make me share this secret with you!

I really want to expose them, but I can't bring myself to do it.

She couldn't help but glare at Chu Yang.

Let's see how you handle this!

She sat down on the sofa, placed the lunchbox on the coffee table, and asked as she opened it, "Have you eaten yet? How was the food at that restaurant?"

"It's delicious, just as delicious as my grandpa's. I'm so full." The young lady patted her belly.

"Was your grandfather also a chef?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.

“He used to be the head chef for state banquets, but he rarely cooks now,” the young lady said.

"A state banquet chef? Wow, a master chef of imperial level!" Zhou Yang exclaimed.

Chu Yang was also very surprised, never expecting that Grandpa Li had such a prestigious identity.

Next time I go, I'll have to try and get a meal there.

He looked at the table where milk tea was being made, with all sorts of ingredients neatly arranged.

Different teas, different milks, and all kinds of sugar.

There are three transparent bowls containing prepared potato starch tapioca pearls.

Several samples had already been made, each with a sample note indicating the recipe ratio and production time, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail.

"I just made Hong Kong-style milk tea. You guys try it and see which of the samples tastes the best. They all used different types of tea and milk. You should also try the texture of the tapioca pearls," Zhou Yang said.

Chu Yang nodded, took two disposable cups, and poured the first sample.

"Shu'er, come and try it."

The young lady had never drunk milk tea before. She took the cup Chu Yang handed her, smelled it, and said, "It smells so good! A strong aroma of tea and milk."

Just as he was about to drink, Chu Yang quickly said, "Remember to drink the pearls too, chew them together with the milk tea, that's how you get the best flavor."

"So particular?" The young lady blinked.

The disposable cup wasn't filled much; there were a few small balls inside. Are these pearls?

Following Chu Yang's instructions, she drank it down along with the pearls, then puffed out her cheeks and chewed it.

After a few bites, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded twice, clearly indicating that it tasted great.

She swallowed it slowly and exclaimed, "It's so delicious! It's sweet and fragrant, and the tapioca pearls are really chewy. Is this milk tea?"

Zhou Yang smiled happily: "This is the recipe Chu Yang gave me, and he also gave me the method for making pearls. If it's his original creation, then he's simply a genius."

"The recipe is original, and the production method has been around for a long time, like Mongolian milk tea. But real pearl milk tea has been around since the 1980s. However, our pioneering new product is currently unique in the market." Chu Yang said, and then tasted the second sample.

Then he said, "The first cup of tea was a bit too strong, and the second cup had too much milk. Both cups of tapioca pearls were too soft and needed to be more elastic."

Then, after tasting all the samples in turn, she pointed to one of them and said, "This is it, this is the taste. If you improve the texture of the pearls, it will be perfect. Zhou Yang, you're really something."

"Right?" Zhou Yang smiled smugly, quickly finished his meal, washed his hands, and then made another batch of pearls.

"Try it." She scooped out a few pearls with a spoon, blew on them, and offered them to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang subconsciously opened his mouth, but she suddenly turned and fed it directly into the young lady's mouth.

"Is it delicious, Shu'er?"

"It's delicious, and even more chewy."

Chu Yang: "..."

Half an hour later, the final version of the Hong Kong-style milk tea was finally made.

Zhou Yang made four cups of milk tea, and she even ordered a sealing machine specifically for making milk tea that could be packaged for takeout.

"Here, take it." She gave Chu Yang two cups.

Needless to say, he was to bring a cup for Little Pear.

If it were Little Pear here today, she would be so envious she'd cry, and she'd probably show off all the samples.

Chu Yang smiled slightly, understanding perfectly.

"Mmm, it's so delicious!" The young lady had already inserted a straw and started drinking, praising, "If a milk tea shop were opened at school, the business would definitely be booming."

Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he said, "How about we open one?"

“Great idea, let’s work together!” The young lady immediately became interested.

She had long envied Zhou Yang for being able to open a bar with Chu Yang, and now that she could open a milk tea shop with Chu Yang, it couldn't be better. Just thinking about it was so romantic.

"Okay." Chu Yang patted her head: "Then you'll be the owner of the milk tea shop."

The young lady's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she excitedly asked, "Sister Zhou Yang, can I learn how to make milk tea from you?"

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I'm also studying it now. Of course you can come with me, so I won't be lonely."

The young lady put down her milk tea and said with great interest, "Let's begin now!"

“Okay, I’ll teach you how to make tapioca pearls first.” Zhou Yang led her to the table and pointed to the ingredients, saying, “This is very simple, you only need tapioca starch, brown sugar, and water…”

So Chu Yang was left out in the cold.

He had no interest in learning, so he sat down on the sofa while drinking his milk tea and saw that Zhou Yang's laptop was open, with a QQ chat interface on the screen.

Sure enough, he was sending messages to the red-bottomed monkey, sending more than a dozen messages.

Chu Yang hadn't logged into QQ, so naturally she didn't receive any replies.

Seeing these messages, it's easy to imagine how disappointed she must have felt.

Chu Yang looked at Zhou Yang, who was deep in thought, and after a long while, he looked up at Zhou Yang, who was teaching Shu'er how to make milk tea, and finally made a decision.

He logged into QQ on his laptop, muted it, and sent her a message.

I'm on my way; I'll come see you tonight.

After sending the message, I logged out of QQ, but deliberately didn't clear the login traces.

After doing all that, he casually said, "Sister Zhou Yang, that damn monkey sent you a message."

As if struck by lightning, Zhou Yang immediately dropped what he was holding and rushed over.

"Why are you still peeking?"

"Your computer is right here. I saw it by accident," Chu Yang said innocently.

Zhou Yang wasn't really angry. She thought that Chu Yang already knew enough about her relationship with the red-bottomed monkey, so it didn't matter to him.

Upon seeing Red-Butt Monkey's reply, she couldn't help but smile. She closed her notebook and continued teaching Shu'er how to make milk tea.

But Chu Yang could feel the joy emanating from her entire body even just by looking at her back.

The young lady nudged her and winked, "Sister Zhou Yang, what's got you so happy? That 'dead monkey' Chu Yang mentioned earlier, is he your boyfriend?"

Zhou Yang's voice trembled with embarrassment: "I guess... I guess so."

The young lady exclaimed, "Oh! You've never told me what kind of guy he is!"

Zhou Yang raised her pretty face slightly and pondered, "Him? Well, how should I put it? He's just that kind of special guy..."
