Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, propped up with one hand, quietly watching the young man opposite her making tea.
Every move he made carried a kind of light and elegant charm, extremely pleasing to the eye, making one feel mesmerized.
Raising her eyes to look at the youth with the cold expression, Bi Xia suddenly thought of the words ’unmatched in the world’.
Unmatched in the world...
The memory of seeing Qin Zhan for the first time appeared in her mind, his white shirt stained with blood, every cold and aloof movement filled with arrogance.
The second meeting was completely different, he looked just like a university freshman, young and handsome.
In reality, Qin Zhan was only five years older than her. In terms of age, he should also be in university now, but maybe because Qin Zhan always wore suits and regardless of what he did, he always carried a steady demeanor, often making people overlook his true age.
Bi Xia wondered what Qin Zhan would look like in a school uniform. She imagined him with a stern face, expressionless, adjusting a jacket and pants that were too short.
She couldn’t help but chuckle, and as she looked up, she met those narrow phoenix eyes.
Gently handing over the freshly poured tea to the youth, Qin Zhan took a small sip and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Bi Xia shrugged, her eyes twinkling, holding the blue and white porcelain teacup with both hands, examining it closely, "This cup is really pretty."
Ignoring Bi Xia’s poor attempt to change the subject, Qin Zhan continued to ask lightly, "What were you just laughing at?"
"Guess," understanding that Qin Zhan would not easily give up on the question, Bi Xia teased, tilting her head to look at him.
Qin Zhan stared deeply at the cunningly smiling youth, slightly dazed. Perhaps not even Bi Xia herself realized that now, in front of Qin Zhan, her expressions had become more varied; she was no longer just someone with a cold face, as if everyone owed her money. Official source is novel✶fire.net
"How’s the tea?" Qin Zhan suddenly asked.
Bi Xia paused, looked down at the tea in her cup, and gulped it all down in one go.
Placing the now empty cup on the table, she smacked her lips, "Not bad."
Upon hearing Bi Xia’s halfhearted comment, Qin Zhan smiled, "Did you actually taste it?"
"Didn’t taste anything," Bi Xia replied honestly.
"Then how do you know it’s good?"
"Felt it with my heart."
Seeing the youth’s curved eyes, Qin Zhan leaned in closer, flicked her forehead with his finger, "You little insincere one."
She pouted and rubbed the spot where she had just been flicked, "How was I insincere? I said it so sincerely."
"Are you sure?" Qin Zhan poured out the tea in his own cup, then turned to pour a cup of plain water, handing it to Bi Xia, "Clearly you don’t like drinking tea, why not say so?"
Bi Xia looked at Qin Zhan in surprise, and then at the water in front of her. She hadn’t expected him to notice.
Lowering her eyes slightly, she drank the plain water, washing away the taste of tea, "It’s not that I don’t like it."
It’s not that she doesn’t like it, she finds it disgusting.
Bi Xia had only drunk tea once before, at her grandmother’s house in her previous life.
At that time, her dad had already left, but every year during the New Year, her mom Xia Shi would still take Bi Xia and Bi Yuan back home. According to Xia Shi, since she hadn’t divorced their dad, not going back for the New Year would seem improper.
When they returned, Wang Caiyun and others were drinking tea while sitting on chairs. Seeing them come in, they greeted them in an aloof tone and poured her a cup of tea.
She didn’t understand how to drink tea at that time, and with the sudden warmth from Wang Caiyun and others, she became nervous and gulped it all down quickly. The hot tea scalded her tongue, and she ended up spitting it all out.
Because of this, Bi Xia was scolded by her grandmother for not having been properly taught. The one who got scolded the most harshly in the end was Xia Shi.
Later, Bi Wu, in an attempt to shame her, told her that the tea leaves had been brought back by her father.
