Chapter 33: Cappuccino, Turning down good intentions
(Part 1)
“Latte.” Tian Miaomiao ordered, “And a piece of cheesecake!”

“Aren’t you on a diet!” The female student sitting next to her smilingly asked.

“I’ll start after the excursion! Postpone postpone~” Tian Miaomiao said.

“Hahaha……” Everyone was amused and ordered the coffee or milk tea that they wanted to drink. They also paired it with all kinds of pastries and cakes as well.

When the shop assistant called out the orders to the baristas, the surprise of several baristas was clearly heard, “Why are there so many orders all of a sudden?”

The shop assistant immediately explained, but because her voice was softer, the crowd sitting outside could not hear it clearly.

After a while, the coffees were being served cup after cup. Lu Anran lifted her cup and from her first mouthful, she felt the smoothness of the milk, and the complementary flavours of the foam and coffee. It was sufficient to see that the barista has very high skill in milk steaming! Never would she have expected to drink such delicious cappuccino in such a small store.

“Anran, this one doesn’t taste good ah……” Ji Ling frowned. She truly could not understand why Lu Anran would drink with such relish.

Lu Anran only took one look at the milk foam of Ji Ling’s cup before deducing that their coffees were not made by the same barista. Lu Anran smiled and said, “Cappuccino was originally Italian- styled expresso with milk and steamed milk foam. Some people like it, and others do not. Also, every barista has a different level of skill, so the taste will differ by a lot.”

“En……” Ji Ling knitted her eyebrows. She was still a little dissatisfied.

“I think it is not bad!” Linda was quite satisfied with her cup of coffee. Even though she is not knowledgeable about coffee, she could still taste the aroma mingling with a faint hint of milk. Also, the milk foam was smooth and velvety.

“Hurhur……” Lu Anran glanced and knew that Linda had the same barista as herself. The corner of her lips revealed a smile. Her tastebuds are well- developed and could taste the slight differences in any food. In short, she was very pleased with the craftmanship of this barista. With that in mind, she called out to the shop assistant, “Can I meet the barista who made this coffee?”

“Uh……” The shop assistant was astonished, “Are you dissatisfied with anything?”

“It was very delicious.” Lu Anran smiled, “So, I wish to meet with this barista.”

“I’ll go and ask.” The shop assistant glanced at Lu Anran’s cup and confirmed that the coffee was personally made by that Italian barista before hurriedly entering the back. After about three minutes, that shop assistant ran back out again and smiled apologetically at Lu Anran, “Sorry……”

“It’s alright.” Lu Anran also smiled. She will come by often in future.

The sudden downpour has gradually stopped. Everyone who ate desserts each paid their own bill and went out of the door.

“Where are we heading to now?” Someone asked.

“Let’s buy some snacks! The snacks to eat tomorrow!” Ji Ling’s eyes shone. She anticipated this moment the most! Snacks! Snacks!

“Okay!” Lu Anran nodded. Everyone walked away from the shopping streets and strolled into shopping centre next to the shopping street. They sat the elevator and directly went to the snacks area of the supermarket on the 2nd floor. Everyone selected their favourite snacks. The boys mostly chose dehydrated food like potato chips while the girls mostly chose sweets and cookies.
