Chapter 226 (2/2)

Those words completely stunned Gong Qinyin. Li Yaxuan had no idea what they were talking about, so she decided to not interrupt. But now, her gaze when looking at Xiang Shaoyun had turned into one of curiosity.

After a while, Gong Qinyin recovered from her reverie. She was filled with excitement as she said, ”Shaoyun, what you said is almost identical to what my master said! I did not expect that you actually know so much! You must be great in the art of tea and zither as well, then?”

”Haha, I am only a critic and can't do any of that,” said Xiang Shaoyun, finally acting humble for once.

In the past when he had too much free time on his hands, he did learn a bit of the two. But he was still a kid back then, and with the short attention span of a kid, he moved on after mastering a bit of the essence of the two arts.

After all, for him, they were only entertainments and would never be things he specialized in. But Gong Qinyin did not buy any of his words. She pressed on, ”I don't believe that. Why don't you make us a pot of tea as well? Or maybe play us a tune with the zither.”

She wished more and more that Xiang Shaoyun would have similar interests. That way, they would simply be a match made in heaven.

What is wrong with me? Have I really fallen for him? Gong Qinyin couldn't help but ask herself.

In truth, she had been having those thoughts for a while now. She had merely been suppressing them. But now, it seemed she wouldn't be able to keep suppressing her feelings any longer.

Xiang Shaoyun wanted to refuse, but Li Yaxuan interjected and egged him on, ”Yes, that's a great idea. I am curious as to what this junior brother is capable of. Come, expand your senior sister's horizons.”

Looking at the two great beauties before him, Xiang Shaoyun had the urge to show off.

”Fine, today, you shall witness this young master's grace!” said Xiang Shaoyun in a narcissistic manner.

He then exchanged seats with Gong Qinyin. Using the clean water stored beside the seat, he washed his hands thoroughly. An approving look covered Gong Qinyin's eyes when she saw what he did.

Cleaning one's hands was the basic requirement for those dabbling in the art of tea. One must ensure one's hands were clean, as it was a sign of respect toward the tea and the drinker.

A calm smile hovered on Xiang Shaoyun's face as his mood seemed to have instantly turned cheerful. Recalling his free and leisurely life of the past filled him with melancholy. Thinking of it, he started moving. The long-gone feelings returned to him as his stiff motion slowly turned smooth, giving off a feeling of absolute harmony to those looking at him.

Gong Qinyin was completely infatuated with what she was looking at. Inwardly, she cried out, Sooo handsome!

As for Li Yaxuan, although she did not know tea well, her attention was drawn in by Xiang Shaoyun's harmonious actions and the smile hanging on his face. She had never thought that just someone making tea would be such a pleasurable sight to behold. It was most likely completely due to the person who was making the tea.

Why is he giving me such a familiar feeling? I feel like I have seen him somewhere before! Li Yaxuan started asking herself. After a while, Xiang Shaoyun finished making the tea. At that instant, the courtyard was filled with its fragrance, giving one an extremely refres.h.i.+ng feeling.

Xiang Shaoyun served them a cup of tea each and said in a gentlemanly manner, ”Both of you, please have a drink.”

Gong Qinyin raised the cup impatiently and started tasting the tea.

Even Li Yaxuan drank slowly this time.

The moment they tasted the tea, they felt an indescribable flavor fill every fiber of their beings. They felt completely relaxed, as if all their worries were instantly flushed from their minds. Completely immersed in the comfortable sensation, they felt as free as unfettered clouds.
