Li Wenyi smiled and pointed to the teahouse not far ahead, saying, "Miss, we've arrived."
Ye Shuang looked over and saw it was the same familiar teahouse. She wondered why she hadn't heard of any limited-edition pastries last time she came. However, she pretended to be unfamiliar with the place and said with a smile, "It looks good. Let's go in and try it and see if it's really as you say, sir, the best tea and pastries in the county."
Li Wenyi lowered his head and chuckled softly, then looked up and strode into the teahouse with Ye Shuang.
As soon as they entered, the quick-witted waiter was by their side: "Oh, sir, you've arrived. What a pity, your usual room is occupied today. May I take you to another room?"
“Okay, lead the way.” Li Wenyi never cared about such trivial matters.
The waiter led the way with a smile, taking them into another private room. The facilities here were similar to the previous one, only the angle of view was different.
Now that night has fallen, the storyteller's seat in the middle is empty, but a young woman playing the pipa has appeared. She looks pretty and the music is clear and melodious. Even without tea or food, this is a nice place to relax and enjoy yourself.
"Just do it the usual way." Li Wenyi casually gave the order, then turned around and saw Ye Shuang staring blankly downstairs.
Seeing this, the waiter smiled and considerately closed the door, leaving them a private space for the two of them.
"May I ask your name, young lady?" Li Wenyi said gently.
Ye Shuang then turned around, looked at Li Wenyi, and said with a smile, "Ye Shuang."
"Ye Shuang?" Li Wenyi laughed. "What a coincidence! My sister and you have the same name but different surname. Next time my sister comes, I must introduce her to you."
"That's quite a coincidence." Ye Shuang smiled and asked, "May I ask your honorable surname, sir?"
"My surname is Li, and my given name is Wenyi. It is fate that we met. You also share the same name as my younger sister. If you don't mind, please don't call me 'sir,' just call me 'elder brother.'" Li Wenyi waved the folding fan in his hand.
"I'd be honored to accept your offer, Brother Li," Ye Shuang said.
Li Wenyi's smile became even more sincere and gentle.
Just then, the waiter entered, bringing in a pot of tea and two plates of pastries, and then quickly left, afraid of disturbing them.
The refreshing aroma of tea slowly rose into the air with the steam. Li Wenyi poured a cup of tea for Ye Shuang and pushed it to her side: "Miss Ye, please try it and see how you like this tea?"
Ye Shuang reached out and picked up the cup, taking a small sip. The aroma of the tea slowly spread from her throat to her entire body, bringing an indescribable sense of ease and comfort. Even though she knew nothing about tea, she couldn't help but praise, "Truly excellent tea."
Li Wenyi also took a sip and said with a smile, "I'm glad Miss Ye is satisfied. Try some of the pastries here; they're a local delicacy paired with this tea."
Ye Shuang lightly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The pastry, with the lingering tea in her mouth, was sweet but not cloying, soft and crumbly, and tasted really good. She nodded repeatedly: "Brother Li, this pastry and tea are indeed as you said, truly superb!"
"I'm glad you like it." Li Wenyi smiled contentedly.
Ye Shuang smiled, and in his presence, she always unconsciously let her guard down: "Brother Li, thank you so much. We've only just met, yet you're still willing to bring me to such a wonderful place."
