Chapter 1753: Unlucky Heiress (20)
"Guoguo, I need to go to the restroom first."
It
was Tang Yi's first time drinking the milk tea Tang Kui had bought. She had
become so excited that she'd finished the entire large cup in one go and was
now desperately in need of a bathroom.
Holding
the cup that still had more than half of its contents left, Tang Guo nodded.
"Go
ahead. We'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Tang
Yi hurried off in search of the restroom, leaving Tang Guo standing alone.
Milk
tea…
This
was actually her first time drinking it in this lifetime.
Ever
since arriving in this world, she really hadn't had time for snacks.
The
snacks Chen Xian and Zhao Wen made were delicious enough. Whenever she craved
something, she simply ate at their shop and rarely bought anything else.
Most
importantly, throwing away trash in this city was a headache.
The
complicated garbage classification system had driven the entire population to
the verge of insanity.
Now
Tang Guo finally understood why.
Because
she couldn't finish her drink.
And
she had no idea which category the remaining milk tea belonged to.
Standing
in front of several garbage bins, she looked utterly conflicted.
Modern
trash bins had cameras installed.
Even
opening them required fingerprint identification.
If
she sorted something incorrectly, her identity would immediately be recorded.
Within
days, a fine would be mailed to her home.
Even
worse, her name would be displayed publicly on the garbage bin's screen for an
entire day as criticism.
Just
thinking about it was embarrassing.
"System,
look up what kind of trash milk tea counts as."
【Right away, Host!】
The
system was trying hard not to laugh.
Even
Host had moments when she became troubled over such things?
Chen
Xian and Zhao Wen's snack shop rarely used disposable bowls or chopsticks. Most
food was served in reusable dishes, so unusual trash was rather uncommon.
Just
as the system was still searching, a young man walked up beside Tang Guo.
"Miss,
do you need some help?"
His
voice sounded pleasant.
Tang
Guo raised her head and, upon seeing him, revealed a sweet smile.
"Yes.
I don't know how to throw away this cup of milk tea."
"Judging
from your accent, you're not from this city?"
Tang
Guo nodded.
"That's
right. My hometown is a small place where garbage sorting isn't enforced so
strictly. This is also my first time buying milk tea here, so I wasn't sure
what to do."
The
handsome young man stretched out his hand.
"Leave
it to me. I'll help you."
"Thank
you very much."
Without
being polite, Tang Guo handed him the cup.
She
watched as he used his fingerprint to unlock the bins.
First,
he poured the remaining milk tea into one container.
Then
he threw the empty cup into another.
After
finishing, he turned around and smiled.
"Miss,
remember it now? This is how milk tea should be sorted in the future."
"I
understand now. Thank you so much."
The
young man smiled warmly.
"You're
welcome. Since you're living in this city, you should learn more about garbage
classification. If you run into similar problems later, it'll be easier to deal
with them."
"You're
right. I hadn't paid much attention before, but I'll definitely study it
properly when I get home."
The
man took out his phone and opened an application for her.
"It
isn't actually that troublesome. Why don't you download this app? It contains
all kinds of garbage classification information and is extremely
professional."
"No
matter what kind of waste you have, there's nothing this software can't
solve."
"Even when new types of garbage appear, they'll soon be properly categorized."
