Chapter 53: Afternoon Tea on the Peninsula 2

The white cream cake in the glass cabinet always tempted him.

At that time, my grandmother had to get married again in order to raise him.

And remarrying American husbands is very bad for them.

Therefore, he has no money and cannot afford to eat the beautiful white cream cake in the window.

However, he will never beg adults to buy it for him like other children.

Because he knew that grandma's life was very difficult.

I don’t know how much time passed before grandma discovered his little secret.

On his tenth birthday, his grandma held his hand and walked into the coffee shop together.

When the beautiful piece of white cream cake appeared in front of him, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He picked up the cup of coffee next to him that had no milk and sugar, and took a sip. Only then did he realize that it was miserable.

Looking at his frown, grandma forked a small piece of cake and brought it to his mouth, saying: Murphy, take a bite of the cake and you won't feel the bitterness after eating it.

The white cream cake is very sweet, so sweet that it just offsets the strong and bitter coffee in your mouth.

From then on, he fell in love with this feeling, so sweet and so bitter.

Xiaoxiao looked at Han Murphy blankly, she had never seen him like this before.

In her impression, no matter when he was tender, angry, angry, or indifferent, his eyes were always indifferent... indifferent and otherworldly, as if everything was just a drama.

But now, there was a thin layer of mist in his eyes.

Oh my God, Devil's Advocate, do you still feel like crying?

"Are you worried?" Xiaoxiao's motherly consciousness began to awaken and she couldn't help but ask.

In an instant, the fog in Han Murphy's eyes disappeared without a trace, and the indifference returned to his face: "Don't guess, no."

He smiled and pursed his lips, and secretly told himself: all the good intentions just now were fed to the dog.

Then, she held up the tea cup and savored the rich black tea.

It was a rare occasion for someone to treat her, so she decided to relax completely and enjoy the afternoon tea of ​​a British aristocrat.

British black tea is very different from Chinese green tea.

British black tea has a strong flavor, just like Western oil paintings, giving people a rich and colorful feeling.

Chinese green tea has a light taste, just like Chinese landscape paintings, giving people a fresh and distant artistic conception.

Xiaoxiao likes to drink tea, all kinds of tea, from green tea to black tea, from iced black tea to pearl milk tea.

Although she has never drunk any good tea, she is still a tea fan.
