He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then grabbed the edge of the stairs with one hand and slowly went downstairs.
As he went downstairs, he first glanced at Jiang Liu with surprise.
His impression of this woman was that she was fickle and promiscuous.
They say birds of a feather flock together, so how could this girl be hanging out with a woman like that?
Then, just like last time, he sat down opposite Qiu Yan again.
"Miss Qiu Yan, we meet again."
Qiu Yan: "How did you get here?" She wondered, how did he know her name? Could it be...?
"Are you the former owner of Shuangxi Restaurant?"
Qin Feng shook his head. "I'm just here for tea."
Recalling the scene in Huaiyuan, this girl was exceptionally courageous.
But when he thought of the man he had met with, he was filled with boundless hatred.
So he decided to strike up a conversation.
Qin Feng picked up the teapot and poured Qiu Yan a cup of hot tea with heartwarming gestures, but because his hands were trembling uncontrollably, the teapot fell while he was pouring the tea.
The teapot, along with the hot tea, was poured directly onto Qiu Yan's body. Instantly, water splashed out from the spout.
Jiang Liu cried out in alarm, "Xiao Yan, be careful!"
Her exclamation drew frequent glances from the other tea drinkers.
Qin Feng's first reaction was to catch the teapot.
However, the moment his hand touched the handle of the teapot, the teapot tilted and the tea inside poured out.
Qin Feng accidentally burned his right hand, lost his balance, and fell straight onto the table.
Qiu Yan moved her feet and instantly retreated, narrowly escaping disaster.
Almost at the same moment, Qiu Yan hooked one leg around Qin Feng's legs and grabbed the back of his collar with her right arm, forcing him to steady himself.
Finally, just as the teapot was about to fall to the ground, Qiu Yan swiftly extended her left arm and saved it at the last moment, placing it back on the table.
Clap clap clap... Instantly, applause erupted all around.
"Young lady, you have excellent skills..."
Qiu Yan then realized that all the tea drinkers around her were holding their breath and staring intently at her.
Including Jiang Liu and Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's face looked even paler.
This girl was far more formidable than he had imagined.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute and looked at Qiu Yan, saying, "I am ashamed."
"The last time I saw you, you were full of energy. How come you're so weak this time?"
Qin Feng's eyes darkened:
"Being hunted down by enemies, and outmatched in skill."
Qiu Yan looked at Qin Feng's hands.
His hands were still trembling.
It's clear he suffered severe internal injuries.
Recalling what she had seen last time, Qiu Yan wondered to herself, could this man be related to the strange occurrence in Huaiyuan?
She was only guessing; she couldn't be sure.
Qin Feng looked at the waiter and said, "Bring another pot of Longjing tea."
The waiter nodded in agreement and was about to leave when Qiu Yan said, "No need."
Because of what had just happened, Qiu Yan lost her appetite for tea.
Qin Feng: "Then this tea is on me."
"Of course it's on you," Qiu Yan said, and then left the teahouse with Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu had a very bad impression of Qin Feng.
"Xiaoyan, who exactly is that man?" He almost hurt Qiu Yan just now.
Qiu Yan replied, "He said he was in the pharmaceutical business. Only he knows how much of that is true."
"..."
As it was getting late, the two of them decided to go to Huaiyuan on the tenth day of the first lunar month. They didn't stay there for long before returning home.
As soon as Qiu Yan got home, she saw someone peering into her yard.
Qiu Yan took a look and saw that it was Gao Chong again.
Just like last time, Gao Chong greeted her immediately upon seeing her, saying, "Sister Qiu."
Qiu Yan: "Gao Chong, aren't you tired?" This person has been following him around all day, he's really persistent.
Gao Chong was taken aback. "What do you mean by tiring? Sister Qiu, you said last time that I could work part-time while studying. I've made up my mind. I want to be a medicine apprentice at your pharmacy."
Qiu Yan... she's a real spy, she even found out about her plan to open a pharmacy.
