"Please sit down." Gu Nanyan led Xie Yunyu to a private room, tilted his head slightly to indicate that Xie Yunyu should sit down, took out the tea set, placed it on the tea table, and reached out to boil water.
Xie Yunyu suddenly spoke up, "I'll do it." She bent down slightly, her starry eyes looking straight at Gu Nanyan.
Tea is usually brewed by younger generations for their elders, and when elders brew tea, it is a sign of bestowing it upon them.
Gu Nanyan did not refuse and made a "please" gesture.
Boil water, wash cups, add tea leaves, brew tea, and pour tea.
The tea seemed to have been picked up casually by Gu Nanyan; it was Pu'er tea, which implies that after bitterness comes sweetness.
Xie Yunyu presented the third infusion of tea to Gu Nanyan with both hands.
Pu-erh tea is generally considered to be at its peak in the third to fifth cups.
Gu Nanyan accepted the tea, but Xie Yunyu sat down without sitting down. She stood up straight, crossed her hands in front of her abdomen, and her starry eyes showed tension and unease.
The aloof young man sipped his tea. "Sit down. We're not in a superior-subordinate relationship." His voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain forest after a heavy rain, radiating purity.
"The tea ceremony was excellent; the aftertaste lingered on my teeth."
Xie Yunyu's face clearly showed her happiness. "You've changed a lot." She had been looking for her, but now that she had finally found her, she didn't know what to say.
“Everyone changes, and so do you.” Gu Nanyan’s words were almost a tacit admission that she was the same person from back then.
Xie Yunyu could barely contain her excitement. "Yes, of course, this is inseparable from you."
A group of seven- or eight-year-old children, after experiencing such a thing, undoubtedly suffered enormous physical and mental harm.
And those who saved them and pulled them out of the abyss were not world-renowned psychologists, famous experts and professors, or soldiers and police officers.
Instead, they were girls who were only five or six years older than them.
She was dressed in military green, with short, spiky hair, camouflage paint on her face, a dagger at her waist, and a Desert Eagle in one hand. She tilted her head, a smile playing on her lips, and came alone against the light.
"That's my mission," Gu Nanyan said coldly.
Xie Yunyu was not disheartened by this. "In any case, thank you."
"You came to the capital to investigate Case 601 as well." The tone was certain. Gu Nanyan sat on the sofa, the woman's face calm, her phoenix eyes lowered, holding a teacup.
Xie Yunyu made no attempt to hide anything, "As you know, I have some health problems, and there's also Yu Luo. I've searched for you before, but without any leads. I had no leads in Xihua City, so when I learned that I was of Tang family blood, I wanted to return to the capital to continue my search."
"I wasn't unable to find you at first, but it wasn't until the eldest son of the Shen family became the head teacher of the senior students at Qingjin High School, and he is the current person in charge of Case 601, that I found you by following this path."
Xie Yunyu knew that if she could find Gu Nanyan, Gu Nanyan would definitely know.
"Mo Yu landed in Europe, right?" If she remembered correctly, back then, she was the one who clung tightly to Xie Yunyu's tattered clothes, trembling with fear yet unwilling to protect others.
Xie Yunyu nodded, "Yes," somewhat excited. Was she also keeping a close eye on them? "Yu Luo's situation is worse than mine. It seems someone took her to Europe. But I don't understand why. I contacted Yu Luo, but she didn't say anything."
“Shen Juanqing is a very good collaborator. I was the first to discover that case. If needed, I can help.”
He'll be happy if I do this.
