Then the cup slanted.
Pouring out the liquid inside.
Transparent.
Layered.
Part of it looked no different from mineral water, while part of it looked sticky.
Upon closer inspection, you could see so bubbles.
-
"No way, in a normal thermos, it’s either plain water or goji berries, what’s this girl got in her cup?"
"I totally can’t make sense of this, can’t think of anything that sticky."
"Maybe the students at Hai City University watching the stream could explain simply to their fellow alumni what exactly is in this cup?"
"You must be joking! If I could figure out what my fellow students were thinking, Hai City University probably wouldn’t rank so high on trending right now..."
"Makes so sense, but not a lot."
"I’m not from Hai City University, but regarding what’s in the patient’s cup, I might have a guess?"
"I also have a guess, I really think this stuff looks a lot like what we have in my kitchen."
"But it doesn’t add up, my dish soap is lemon-flavored, shouldn’t this thing have a sll?"
"Isn’t it possible that not every household likes to use fragrant dish soap? The one at my house is transparent and odorless."
"Even if it doesn’t sll, does it also taste like nothing?"
"This you’ll have to ask the patient personally, only they can answer that question."
"Amazing! The place, Hai City University, is truly magical!"
"..."
-
"Hiss! Why does this stuff look so familiar!"
Su Bingbing had just poured the liquid out of the cup.
When a canteen lady, full of curiosity, leaned in.
Staring thoughtfully at the cup in Su Bingbing’s hand.
As the first canteen lady leaned in.
Gradually.
The crowd gathered to watch grew.
A few canteen ladies gathered together to look at the cup in Su Bingbing’s hand.
One of the ladies asked, "Doesn’t this thing look similar to the stuff we use to wash dishes?"
As soon as another canteen lady voiced her doubt: "No way! Whose kid would put this stuff in a thermos and drink it? I think this must be the latest trend among young people, and we’re just out of touch with the tis."
Is that so?
The canteen ladies who just firmly believed that this stuff was dish soap.
Hearing what their companion said, they also beca uncertain.
Chanting to themselves.
"You can’t be sure of that; my kid recently liked a type of lamb soup, stubbornly saying we couldn’t replicate the taste at ho. I used to work in a restaurant, just added a spoon of evaporated milk at ho, and the taste was right."
"It’s true, one day my son said the chicken wonton soup I made wasn’t as tasty as before, and then I realized, oops, I forgot to add chicken essence!"
"And the trendy drinks young people love nowadays, aren’t they all high tech?"
"If soone said this transparent liquid was so new high-tech drink, I’d believe it too, considering young people today love novel things."
"But shouldn’t this thermos be tested? If this is a new viral drink, how many young people would it harm?"
"Isn’t it possible that we’re outdated, maybe foaming at the mouth is this drink’s selling point?"
Although the canteen ladies tried hard to keep their voices down.
Their conversation.
Was clearly heard by the curious university students.
The students listened, their eyes fixated.
-
"No, is this how our generation is seen by the previous one?"
"Although I hate to admit it, there’s an awful café below my apartnt that beca a sensation after a blogger visited it, and now it’s always crowded."
"???
"Why is there a line? Did an influencer get paid to lie?"
"Not at all, the blogger was actually honest; it’s just that because he said he’d never had coffee this bad, everyone lined up to taste how bad it was."
"At least the evaporated milk and chicken essence might be legit. There’s a great rice noodle place near my complex, and one day I saw them buying chicken essence by the box..."
"It’s fine, we use chicken essence at ho too, as long as it tastes good."
"Then maybe it’s not wrong for the canteen ladies to have such stereotypes about us young people?"
"..."
-
On the other side of the phone.
Chen Mu, who video-called Su Bingbing and the canteen ladies.
Listened to their comnts.
His lips twitched involuntarily, falling into speechlessness.
After a brief mont to organize his thoughts.
Chen Mu finally spoke: "Everyone, to find out if this thing is dish soap, just grab a dirty dish and see if it can wash dishes, right?"
After Chen Mu’s words landed.
The canteen fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at each other wide-eyed.
Yet nevertheless.
Chen Mu’s cool voice sounded again: "If I recall correctly, the canteen should be the last place short of dirty dishes."
It was already nightti.
