Chapter 293: Drinking Tea

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xin looked at the man in front of her who was around her father’s age. However, he had taken better care of himself than her father, and his temperament was more mature and masculine while her father was frivolous.

Most importantly, Mu Chen resembled Mu Qing both in appearance and temperament. The only difference was Mu Qing was not as cold as Mu Chen who seemed like he was high above others. There was something refreshing about Mu Qing that put people at ease like the spring breeze.

When Ye Xin looked into Mu Qing’s eyes that reminded her of Mu Chen’s but was more gentle, she could not help but fall into a daze. She had only ever seen Mu Chen look at Song Ning with such a gentle gaze. She had never dared to look at Mu Chen wantonly so she could only look at his photo.

Ignoring Mu Qing’s age and everything else, his eyes were really similar to Mu Chen’s. She felt chaos wreaking havoc in her heart as she looked at the pair of familiar eyes. In the end, she said in a daze, “Hello, Mr. Mu. My name is Ye Xin.”

“Ye Xin, it’s a pleasure to meet you…” Mu Qing said in a tone as gentle as his voice.

Ye Xin’s hands were clenched tightly. The pain from her fingernail digging into the flesh of her palms woke her up.

Mu Qing made an inviting gesture. “Let’s talk over there.”

Ye Xin nodded, demure and courteous. This scene resembled the scenes in her mind when she imagined herself with Mu Chen.

Mu Qing personally brewed a pot of tea.

He was so skilled that Ye Xin was dazzled. She had never seen men making tea before.

Her father, Ye He, only drank wine. Beautiful women and wine were his true love.

Her brother, Ye Cheng, drank coffee.

No one drank tea.

She never knew a man could look so charming brewing tea. She could not help but fall into a daze again.

Mu Qing placed a cup of tea in front of her and smiled gently. “Have a taste?”

Ye Xin picked up the cup and drank the tea, feeling slightly embarrassed. “I don’t know much about tea, but this tastes mellow and sweet.”

Mu Qing smiled with a hint of indulgence. “To be able to tell it’s mellow and sweet is good enough. You’re really talented.”

Ye Xin perked up. “Really?”

Mu Qing smiled and did not say anything as he poured her another cup of tea.

Then, the two started chatting over tea.

Mu Qing’s voice was gentle and soothing, befitting of a mature man. It calmed down Ye Xin’s nerves. She felt a warmth and stability that she had never felt before. No one had made her feel this way before, not even her father and brother. All of a sudden, she understood that this feeling was what she had been looking for all this time. She thought she would be able to get it from Mu Chen. Her eyes could not help but redden when she thought about this, feeling distressed for her past self.

Mu Qing put the teapot and the teacups away in a small basin of hot water to soak them. Then, he grabbed a towel to wipe his hands as he gently said, “This is your first time drinking tea so you shouldn’t drink too much. Otherwise, it’ll affect you…”

Ye Xin was confused. “Affect me?”

Mu Qing nodded. “Yes, it’ll be difficult to fall asleep if you drink too much… You have to slowly get used to it…”

“How do you get used to it? Do you drink it every day?” Ye Xin asked.

Mu Qing smiled. “Of course. If you drink it often, you’ll slowly get used to it…”

Ye Xin’s gaze followed Mu Qing’s every movement as she asked, “I don’t know how to brew tea… Can you teach me?”

Mu Qing stopped wiping his hand.. He looked at Ye Xin with clear eyes and said, “I’m being rude. Young people like you shouldn’t like these things, right? Do you prefer coffee or wine?”
