Zhong Mingwei obediently opened his mouth and drank a sip of tea. It was indeed fragrant. He had never tasted such fragrant tea before. Phoenix Dancong tea was as fragrant as this, but it was not as fragrant as the cheap jasmine in the rough porcelain bowl.
"Does it smell good?" asked Ah Chou, with a look of anticipation.
"It smells so good." Zhong Mingwei looked at her dark eyes and spoke very gently. "I've never tasted such a fragrant tea."
"Haha! That's for sure. I picked them one by one in the tea can, and specifically picked the big flowers," Ah Chou said proudly. He fed Zhong Mingwei a few more sips of tea, "When I was brewing tea just now, haha. I thought it smelled better than incense."
"Did you buy tea?" Zhong Mingwei asked in surprise. He had never asked about Ah Chou's household expenses, but he knew what their current situation was. And from Ah Chou's style, he knew that Ah Chou was frugal. He didn't look like someone who could spend money on tea.
"If it looks good, just buy it. If you like it, I'll make you a bowl every day," Ah Chou was a little shy. Obviously, she didn't want to talk about Jasmine Flower anymore, so she put the empty tea bowl aside. She was busy bringing over the plate of golden sticky rice dumplings, pinched one and handed it to Zhong Mingwei, "Try it quickly. I bought it at the market. They said it's a specialty of Ningguta, called sticky rice dumplings. I bought some specially for you to try."
"Is it sticky?" Seeing Zhong Mingwei slowly finishing a sticky rice dumpling, Achou asked hurriedly. As Zhong Mingwei had been bedridden for a long time, it was actually not suitable for him to eat sticky rice dumpling, which was a food that was difficult to digest. But when Achou saw the steaming sticky rice dumpling just out of the pot, he wanted to let Zhong Mingwei have a taste. Although he couldn't leave now, Achou didn't want him to suffer any grievances, especially in terms of food.
"You will know if you try it?" Zhong Mingwei was still chewing. It had been a long time since he had eaten something so chewy. It was a bit like donkey rolls, sticky, sweet, and hot. It was his favorite taste, and it should also be the taste that this girl liked. Zhong Mingwei raised his chin and looked at Ah Chou, "Why don't you eat it?"
"Oh, I've eaten it at the market. You can have some," Ah Chou was so busy that he turned his eyes away. He took out another sticky bean bun and handed it to Zhong Mingwei, saying, "No matter how delicious it is, you can only eat two. I'm afraid it's hard to digest. There are still hot buns in the pot. I'll bring you another one later."
Zhong Mingwei ate half of a sticky bean bun from Ah Chou's hand. While eating the sticky bean bun, Zhong Mingwei stared at Ah Chou's sleeve for a long time. Suddenly, he noticed something strange. He stopped eating, sniffed, and then frowned and looked at Ah Chou: "Why did you come back so late?"
Ah Chou's hand trembled, and half of the sticky rice dumpling fell on the bed. She was obviously startled. She hurriedly picked up the sticky rice dumpling and held it in her hand. She didn't dare to feed Zhong Mingwei anymore. She lowered her head and said a little bit at a loss: "No...nothing, the things were hard to buy, I went to several places before I could buy them, so I came back late..."
"It's so late, why do you need to change clothes?" Zhong Mingwei stared at Achou's high collar with a heavy look. It was early summer in May, so there was no need to wear such thick clothes, especially with such a high collar. The girl was wearing a light blue round-neck summer dress in the morning, so why did she change into such autumn clothes at this time? There must be something going on.
