"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I really was just learning how to drink tea," Sheng Ting said, her pretty face turning pale.
"What's your name?"
"Sheng Ting".
Tang Yuxiu smiled faintly and said, "Since you're here to learn about tea, come in."
Sheng Ting exclaimed "Ah!"
Seeing the smile on his face filled me with fear.
What does he want to do?
Seeing her defensive posture, Tang Yuxiu smiled again: "If you don't go in, I'll call the police."
Sheng Ting's expression changed.
If the police are called, things will get really bad.
She couldn't explain it clearly even when she got to the police station.
People will definitely think she's a weird voyeur, which would be so embarrassing.
Sheng Ting swallowed hard and followed Tang Yuxiu inside with great courage.
The people inside were taken aback when they saw Tang Yuxiu bring in a young girl. After a moment of surprise, they smiled and stood up. "Mr. Tang, I just remembered I have something to attend to. Shall we stop here for today?"
"Alright, let's talk another day," Tang Yuxiu said, seeing the person to the door before returning to the tea table.
Sheng Ting sat properly, not daring to look at the other person.
After all, they were the ones who made the mistake first.
Tang Yuxiu poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of her. "Where should I start learning?"
"ah?"
"Aren't you going to learn how to drink tea?"
“Yes…” Sheng Ting’s voice was barely audible.
"Let's start by brewing tea," Tang Yuxiu said, taking out tea leaves again, washing the teaware, looking up at Sheng Ting, and suddenly saying, "Happy New Year!"
Sheng Ting realized what was happening and quickly said, "Happy New Year!"
Sheng Ting thought Tang Yuxiu's movements were very elegant, the kind that emanated from his very bones.
Is this the kind of person that woman just described as a scoundrel who indulges in eating, drinking, and gambling?
Although Sheng Ting didn't have a keen eye for judging people, she could still tell from her first impression that this person wasn't as bad as that woman had described.
Watching Tang Yuxiu brew and pour tea is a truly enjoyable experience.
Sheng Ting stared blankly, completely forgetting her earlier fear.
Taking the cup of hot tea that Tang Yuxiu offered, Sheng Ting praised him frankly: "You're really amazing!"
Tang Yuxiu chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment. Have you learned it now?"
Sheng Ting gave an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly just now..."
She didn't dare say that she was only focused on Tang Yuxiu's hands and movements.
"Then I'll cook it again," Tang Yuxiu said, taking a rare moment of leisure, and gave Sheng Ting another demonstration on the spot.
Sheng Ting stared intently, not daring to be distracted.
Zhou Ran peeked out and waited for half an hour without seeing anyone come out. He couldn't wait any longer and ran over, only to see Sheng Ting being brought out by Tang Yuxiu.
Upon seeing Tang Yuxiu's appearance, Zhou Ran was taken aback for a moment, then greeted him with a forced smile: "Mr. Tang."
Tang Yuxiu looked at Zhou Ran: "You know me?"
“Mr. Tang is quite famous in the capital; it’s hard not to know him,” Zhou Ran said with a forced smile. “This is my friend. I didn’t notice he was Mr. Tang just now. My apologies.”
“It’s alright,” Tang Yuxiu said, looking at Sheng Ting. “You’re welcome to come again next time.”
Sheng Ting was immediately embarrassed.
"Thank you so much this time," Sheng Ting said, pulling Zhou Ran away quickly.
Once outside, Zhou Ran apologized repeatedly, "Sheng Ting, Tingting, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to betray you..."
Sheng Ting pretended to be angry: "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself like that."
"Yes, yes, it was my fault. I apologize. How about I wash your clothes for a month?"
"You're so busy, isn't this just adding to your burden?"
"It's my honor to wash Xiaotingting's clothes, how could it be a burden!" Zhou Ran flattered Shengting.
Sheng Ting snorted: "Sweet talk."
"Aren't you angry anymore?" Zhou Ran leaned closer to her.
I'm still angry.
Zhou Ran suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Sheng Ting was startled, covered her face, and asked in disbelief, "What, what are you doing?"
"I want to kiss you!"
“…” Sheng Ting blushed instantly.
Zhou Ran laughed heartily, "We're best friends, what's wrong with giving you a kiss? How about it, are you calmed down now?"
Sheng Ting was torn between laughing and crying, "How could you do this?"
"Let's not talk about that. What did you and Tang Yuxiu talk about just now?"
His name was Tang Yuxiu.
"So I asked him how to brew and drink tea."
That's it?
"That's all," Sheng Ting said in a muffled voice, "Don't do that again next time, it makes everyone feel awkward."
"Absolutely not." Zhou Ran swore to the heavens, "Tang Yuxiu has a bad reputation in the capital, don't get close to him."
"Why should I get close to him?" Sheng Ting thought of Tang Yuxiu's polite demeanor and couldn't help but speak up for him: "I don't think he's that kind of person."
"You've only met him once, and you're already convinced he's not that kind of person? Some people are just good at pretending, don't be fooled."
"Okay, I understand."
"Tang Yuxiu was the youngest son in the family, so he was spoiled rotten. He spent his days loafing around in casinos and liked to invite friends over for meals and drinks. I once heard that he got several women pregnant, but the Tang family used their power to suppress it all." Zhou Ran lowered his voice a few notches for the last sentence.
Sheng Ting's eyes widened as she listened: "He doesn't seem like that kind of person."
“So you can know a person’s face but not their heart. You can’t tell if someone is good or bad just by looking at their appearance,” Zhou Ran patted Sheng Ting’s shoulder. “You have to be more careful in the future. It was my fault today. I pushed you toward him just now.”
Zhou Ran felt a wave of fear wash over him.
