You both enter a cozy little tea restaurant, take a seat, and order two cups of Hong Kong-style milk tea. As the milk tea gently sways in the cups, the deep brown tea blends with the creamy milk fragrance, as if two hearts are drawing close in a fleeting moment, creating a captivating flavor. This is not merely a beverage; it’s more like a tender exchange of emotions between two souls.
