Half an hour later, in a teahouse in the city.
Huo Yao caught a whiff of the faint scent of sandalwood as soon as she entered the private room. It was the same scent she had smelled at the Imperial Medicine Store yesterday.
"You're here." At that moment, Min Yu was sitting in front of a tea tray, elegantly brewing tea. There was an incense burner near his hand, and wisps of smoke were slowly rising from it.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and nodded politely at Zhuo Yun. She walked over, pulled out a mahogany chair, and sat down.
Zhuo Yun glanced at Huo Yao cautiously. For some reason, this young lady gave him a coldness that did not match her age every time he saw her. He could not see through her.
Min Yu placed the freshly heated teacup in front of Huo Yao. He picked up the teapot with his fair and slender fingers and slowly poured the green tea into the cup. "It's Longjing tea before the Ming Dynasty. Try it."
Huo Yao picked up the teacup and the fragrance of the tea wafted into her nose. She placed it by her lips and took a sip. She instantly raised her brow and praised it. "The tea is rich and mellow. It tastes sweet and smooth. Not bad."
Min Yu put down the teapot. There was a hint of gentleness in his exquisite eyes, and he looked relaxed and unruly. "I heard you took part in an international competition?"
Huo Yao contemplated for a moment. She leaned back in the chair lazily and raised her eyes to look at Min Yu. "Did the old lady nag you again?"
Min Yu smiled faintly and said ambiguously, "After all, I'm a tutor, so I have to contribute."
Huo Yao touched her chin. "Ah, you don't have to contribute. Just help me make the old lady happy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuo Yun, who was next to her, suddenly choked and started coughing violently. "Cough, cough …"
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at him quizzically.
Min Yu glanced at Zhuo Yun and replied calmly, "Uh huh. Of course."
Zhuo Yun had just calmed down from the shock of Huo Yao's words when he heard his boss's reply. He was petrified.
One of them dared to make demands, while the other was willing to accept them... Was he hallucinating? Or was the boss in front of him a fake?
"Do you need a professional tutor?" asked Min Yu as he refilled Huo Yao's teacup.
Huo Yao tapped her fingers on the table. "Thanks, but it's okay."
Min Yu did not continue the topic. Instead, he picked up his teacup and sipped his tea.
For a moment, the private room became very quiet. However, this kind of silence did not make anyone feel awkward.
Before long, Huo Yao checked the time on her watch and finished the last cup of tea. She picked up the bag on the side and handed it to Min Yu. "This incense should help you."
Huo Yao paused before she picked up the teacup and drank it. She stood up and said, "The tea is pretty good. Thanks for serving me. I'll be going now."
"I'll see you off."
"Don't bother. I can just hail a cab," said Huo Yao as she turned down Min Yu's offer. She did not say anything else and headed out.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao's back and contemplated for two seconds. "Hang on."
Huo Yao turned to look at him. "Huh?"
Min Yu smiled. He picked up the tea box and walked over. "This tea is for you. You can ask me for more when you're done."
