Chuanbei, Jing residence…

Duan Linbai lay on the sofa and reached out to touch his stomach. “F*ck, Jing Hanchuan, you called me over just to get me to try the tea for you?”

“I told you long ago that I would invite you to drink tea.” Jing Hanchuan pinched some tea leaves and put them in a cup. He poured boiling water into it, shook it, and drained it. This was the so-called washing tea.

“No, I…” Duan Linbai was speechless. At first, when Jing Hanchuan personally made tea for him, he was flattered. While eating desserts and drinking tea, it was delicious. But…

He wasn’t a bucket. Who could take drinking cup after cup?

No matter how delicious something was, it had to be in moderation.

“Aren’t you very knowledgeable about tea? Tell me your feelings.”

Duan Linbai’s family had a wide range of businesses, and his ancestors had even been in the salt, iron, and tea businesses for a period of time. He was quite knowledgeable about this.

“You called me here just because you want me to tell you my experience tasting your tea?” Duan Linbai was so angry that he collapsed on the sofa. If you had something to say, you should have said it earlier. Why did you keep making me drink tea?

“Otherwise?” Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

For people who didn’t know much about tea, many tea leaves might have the same taste in their mouths, and some might be a little bitter and astringent. They didn’t have much understanding.

“Why are you suddenly interested in this?” Duan Linbai picked up his cup and took another sip of tea.

“My father-in-law likes it.”

Pfft—Duan Linbai really almost spat the tea on his face.

In order to please your future father-in-law, you want me to try your tea? Do you have any shame?

You can’t bully a single dog like this.

“Tell me. How did you feel when you drank these teas?” Jing Hanchuan looked at him seriously.

Duan Linbai coughed twice. “Aren’t you going to take some notes?”

“My brain is enough.”

Duan Linbai pursed his lips. How shameless.

He suddenly remembered the scene of them going to school together when they were young. He had studied classical music, and many times, he could understand music after listening to it once. But it was almost impossible for him to recite from textbooks.

The teacher was also great. Every time the teacher recited from a textbook and asked a question, he always mentioned him.

He, Fu Chen, and the others had agreed to play and do their homework together, but they had actually memorized the textbooks.

In Fu Chen’s words, “There are differences between people.”

Jing Hanchuan immediately added, “Between brains too.”

…

He took a sip of tea and smiled at Jing Hanchuan. “There’s actually something you’re not proficient in? Haha, beg me. I’ll tell you the specific differences between the various tea leaves.”

There were many things that could be found online, but Jing Hanchuan wanted a special tea tasting experience. The things online were too common and uninspired, so he had found Duan Linbai.

“How is it? Beg me. I’ll tell you immediately.” A certain someone smiled smugly.

“What are you waiting for?” Jing Hanchuan looked at the Jing family members standing at the side.

“F*ck, why did you call them?” Duan Linbai was stunned.

“To get them to throw you to feed the fish and wake you up.”

“…”

“This is my house. If you want to be smug, you have to consider the location.”

Duan Linbai was dumbfounded. Is this the f*cking attitude of asking for help?!

You can’t play like this.

In the end, he still explained the specific differences between the various tea leaves in a straightforward manner. There were many things that couldn’t be found online.

Jing Hanchuan listened attentively.

After Duan Linbai finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, when I went to the lady boss’s store today, I met a lot of reporters.”

Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows. “Reporters?”

At this moment, the two of them looked at their phones and realized that Xu Yuanfei’s dessert store was actually trending. There were many young people active on Weibo, and many students from the teachers college posted on Weibo.

“The food in this store is super delicious. Why did it suddenly become popular? No!”

“I knew it. Such a good store can’t be hidden in the end. The food is good and cheap. Most importantly, it’s delicious.”

“Hehe, can I say that my roommate goes shopping there every day just to see the lady boss? Her voice is sweet and beautiful.”

“^ Tell me your roommate’s story.”

…

When Xu Yuanfei returned home, she found out that her store had inexplicably become popular online.

Originally, the store had unsold leftovers every day. But in just half an hour, the netizens who came to cheer for her because of her reputation bought all the stored goods.

There were also many comments online.

“I’ve already checked it. As expected of the store Big Brother Duan patronizes, the food is super delicious.”

“It’s mainly cheap!”

“I was late and couldn’t buy anything. Sigh.”

…

Jing Hanchuan frowned, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at the person opposite him.

“Hey, it’s not my fault. I didn’t bring the reporters there,” Duan Linbai hurriedly clarified.

Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything but flipped through the various posts on Weibo.

People had already posted Xu Yuanfei’s photos online.

Xu Yuanfei didn’t have stunning looks, but she was very gentle, beautiful, and comfortable. She was like a pear blossom in spring, refined, clean, and refreshing.

There wasn’t the slightest bit of worldly aura on her.

Many of the photos were taken secretly, and almost all of them were provided by the students of the teachers college. Many people left comments saying that they were targeting the lady boss and wanted to visit the store.

Duan Linbai had already gotten someone to investigate the source of the news and finally found the source.

“Wanwan went to the store and was secretly photographed. Those reporters are staring at Third Fu’s engagement banquet with red eyes. When they heard the news, they went to the dessert store.

“Then I went over too, so…”

Jing Hanchuan was silent.

“Actually, there are a lot of internet celebrity stores like this nowadays. I promise you that this popularity will disappear tomorrow. Everyone just wants to try something new.”

…

Jing Hanchuan rubbed his phone and looked as the photos of Xu Yuanfei kept popping up online. He felt a little uncomfortable.

It was as if something beautiful that originally belonged to him was suddenly discovered by others.

He felt a little sour.

After dinner, Jing Hanchuan sent Duan Linbai away and called Xu Yuanfei as usual.

“… I reckon the business in the store will explode in the next few days. It’ll definitely be crazy busy.” Xu Yuanfei was a little helpless. Just the number of people who added her on WeChat today was off the charts. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry that she inexplicably became an internet celebrity.

At this moment, she truly understood that Duan Linbai was really a popular person.

“Mm,” Jing Hanchuan replied lightly.

“I’ll be busy with Third Master’s engagement banquet in two days. I’m afraid I won’t have much time to come out and see you.”

“Do you want to see me?” Jing Hanchuan’s voice was gentle and clear. If he deliberately used his voice to seduce someone, no woman would be able to withstand it.

“Yes.”

Now that the two of them had confirmed their relationship, they naturally weren’t as shy and awkward as before. They wished they could stay together every minute and every second.

“Got it.”

Xu Yuanfei hung up the phone, took a shower, and crawled into bed. She sent Jing Hanchuan a message, but he didn’t reply for a long time. She had been busy researching new desserts recently, so she was physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep unknowingly.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up.

She had a nightmare. She dreamed that when she was with Jing Hanchuan, her father and brother suddenly rushed out. She couldn’t remember many details. Anyway, her father was just short of chasing after him with a knife, and Xu Yao even separated them. All kinds of melodramatic scenes played out.

Then she was frightened awake…

She heaved a long sigh of relief and reached for her phone.

The phone that was originally placed beside her pillow had slipped under the blanket at some point.

Two hours ago, there were two unread messages.

Xu Yuanfei didn’t react. She stared at her phone in a daze, and her blank eyes didn’t seem to be focused yet. She casually clicked on her phone.

[I’m in Lingnan.]

Ten minutes later, there was another message.

[Call me when you wake up…]

It was already past one in the morning.

She was still a little groggy until she saw that the sender was Jing Hanchuan. Her consciousness was instantly awake.

Xu Yuanfei’s breathing deepened. In the dark room, the light from her phone made her pupils look blazing.
