Because of his family's circumstances, Lin Xi never liked those so-called beverages. On the contrary, he was especially fond of drinking tea. Even so, the tea was rather luxurious for him. Only occasionally would he be able to drink some coarse tea. Even those coarse tea no longer had any flavor. The tea soup that came out was as clear as white water.

Until they met the Elder Shu later on, Lin Xi had drank quite a few good teas, but the teas were all similar in taste. Even though they would come to fruition after being bitter in the mouth, the process was extremely short, so he was unable to taste any special flavor.

However, after drinking the cup of tea in his hand today, Lin Xi finally experienced the pleasure and beauty of it.

Although he had heard stories about the Way of Tea, tea like life, using tea to nurture virtue, tea to cultivate one's body and so on, he had disapproved at that time, thinking that it was just someone else pretending to be elegant and saying "I'm worried about new words", or maybe it was just some intentional business hype.

But today, Lin Xi understood that all of those experiences were real. This also made him understand a principle that only those who had personally experienced some things could understand the logic behind them, just like "reading ten thousand books is equivalent to walking ten thousand miles".

Whether it was cultivating the body and nurturing the virtue, or using tea to nurture people, didn't they all have to suffer first before enjoying the aftertaste? Just like how a person who had gone through all the experiences of the world would only realize that it was "true" after the prosperity has ended, although this was only a theoretical implication, and Lin Xi had only read about it in the books, but now that he suddenly thought about it, it was filled with true meaning.

Suddenly, Lin Xi thought of that old man who had taught him principles when he was still a naughty kid. Wasn't his entire life also "real"?

At that time Lin Xi had asked him why he did not live in the temple like the others, but lived in a thatched cottage instead. At that time, the old man always said that he did not understand yet, and he would understand in the future. At that time, Lin Xi seemed to understand why that old man had said those words. It was because he had long since been full of joy and found the true me and myself.

"Zhiyan, it's really you!"

A shout of pleasant surprise woke Lin Xi from his state of comprehension, and at the same time, awakened Qin Yu and Ang Youyong. The two of them were a little unhappy, and at the same time, looked in the direction of the voice's origin.

After waking up, Lin Xi did not complain or complain, nor did he immediately look at the person who exclaimed. Instead, he saw Zhang Zhiyan using a teacup to take back the teacups in front of the three of them.

As for the intoxicated expressions of the crowd, she seemed to have expected that. Perhaps it was a common occurrence, so she always had a faint smile on her face, as calm as a virgin, and as graceful and demure as ever.

Ah!" Right after that cry of surprise rang out in the quiet room, a tall and handsome youth walked in from outside. He was dressed in a neat blue suit, and his hair was also combed meticulously. His gold-rimmed glasses made him look like a gentleman, and there was always a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, making him look extremely comfortable and amiable.

At least, her appearance was more comfortable and beautiful than the feeling Lin Xi gave others.

The young man did not appear outside at all, after entering from outside, after confirming that Zhang Zhiyan was sitting there three times, he said joyfully: "Zhiyan, I really didn't think that I would meet you here, why did you come from Yunjian?"

"I was talking to a customer on the side and smelled this tea fragrance. I thought you were the only one who could make such a good tea, but this tea fragrance is too tempting, so I couldn't help but come take a look. I didn't expect it really to be you. It really surprises me …"

The youth had been talking nonstop since he entered, treating Qin Yu and the other two as if they were thin air, which obviously caused Qin Yu to be unhappy, so before the youth could finish, he snorted lightly and unhappily: "Ye Xinghao, why are you here?"

Hearing Qin Yu's discontented voice, the young man remembered that there were other people within the quiet room, but when he saw Qin Yu, his expression suddenly changed to surprise, and then into fear, and said: "Uncle Yu, why, why are you here too!"

In regards to Ye Xinghao's greeting, Qin Yu snorted once more. His expression became somewhat ugly as he asked in a heavy voice, "Is it you who also called me Uncle Yu?"

After hesitating for a while, he suddenly mustered up his courage and said again: "Uncle Qin, that matter has already been long. I was the one who failed to recognize Mt.

"Humph, we are in the middle of a negotiation, you should just call me Boss Qin. I don't deserve to be called your uncle, so as to not embarrass me again one day."

Lin Xi and Ang Youyong looked at each other. From the conversation, they could tell that Ye Xinghao, Zhang Zhiyan and Qin Yu knew each other, and they could even tell that Ye Xinghao was probably chasing after Zhang Zhiyan.

Why?

Lin Xi and Ang Youyong were both smart people, and this was publicly recognized by everyone in their high school. They could naturally see the scorching gazes that Ye Xinghao had towards Zhang Zhiyan, and if they couldn't even guess what Ye Xinghao meant to Zhang Zhiyan, then they would really be fools.

In fact, their guesses weren't wrong. Ye Xinghao was indeed one of Zhang Zhiyan's pursuers, and could be considered to be a capable disciple who had preconditions. Although his family's background couldn't be compared to Zhang Family and Qin Family, they were still considered a well-known family.

But last year, he was appointed by the clan as the main person in charge of business in the Western region of China. It could be said that he had a high position of authority, and it was enough to tell how much importance Ye Family had given to him and to raise his status.

Even though it looked impressive, Ye Xinghao's status was still a little unsightly among Zhang Zhiyan's numerous suitors. She belonged at the last level, and even he herself thought that the chance was slim so she wanted to give it up.

But just a few days ago, he suddenly received a message from his clan, that Zhang Zhiyan had arrived at Ba Chuan, causing him to be extremely happy and she did not sleep the entire night.

Because he was the last person chasing after Zhang Zhiyan, he didn't hold much hope for himself in the past, so he would often follow him and jeer, acting under the family's demands and pressure.

However, when he suddenly found out that Zhang Zhiyan had come to Chuan, it was as if a giant filling cake had fallen from the sky onto his head, causing him to feel dizzy, hence he had a presumptuous thought.

As a disciple of a high school, how could he not understand the concept of getting the month before the others? This was why he had put on such a show after meticulously planning everything out.
