Gu Yanfei wanted to drink, but when she looked at the purple clay pot and red clay stove beside her, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. She wanted to see him make tea.
It was so pleasing to watch a handsome guy make tea.
Hence, she naturally changed her words. “Tea.”
As she spoke, she adjusted her sitting posture into a comfortable posture. She looked delicate and lazy as she waited to see him make tea.
Chu Yi nodded and opened the teapot on the table.
After a while, the sound of boiling water in the purple clay pot on the red clay stove became louder, like a spring.
Chu Yi unhurriedly washed his hands first, then began to heat the cup, wash the tea, brew, seal the pot, and divide the cup… The entire set of actions of brewing tea was even and steady, as smooth as flowing water. The wide sleeves embroidered with bamboo leaves floated up and down, and the sleeves rippled open layer by layer. As he moved, gentle patterns like water appeared.
Gu Yanfei’s eyes followed his every move. When she felt the noisy voices downstairs leave her, her heart slowly calmed down.
Until a cup of brewed tea was brought to her eyes, accompanied by a clear voice like the spring breeze. “Try it.”
He turned slightly to face her, and a strand of silk-like black hair fell with it. His hair was dark, smooth, and flowing, and he looked very easy to touch.
Gu Yanfei followed her heart and touched it. She hooked the cold hair between her fingers and took the teacup with her other hand.
Her dark hair reflected her snow-white fingers, and her smooth and lustrous hair slowly slid down from her fingertips.
Their gazes fell on her fingertips…
The room was silent until the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A gorgeous red shadow floated into the room like a ghost. It was ostentatious and charming. The colorful clothes reflected the snow-white walls of the room.
The accompanying black-clothed youth, Jing Shan, silently guarded the entrance of the private seat and silently looked inside.
Unable to find the cat, he looked away in disappointment.
The strand of hair on his fingertips completely fell off. Gu Yanfei drank tea silently.
“What a coincidence-” Without needing anyone to invite him, Xia Houqing sat down himself and looked at Gu Yanfei with a faint smile. He was like a vixen or siren who specialized in seducing people in the deep mountains and forests with his beauty and charming voice.
“Unfortunately, we came specially to look for you.” Gu Yanfei drank the tea that Chu Yi had just made and smiled brightly at Xia Houqing. She asked generously, “Young Master Xia, when are you going back to the State of Yue?”
“There’s no hurry,” Xia Houqing said perfunctorily. He wasn’t in a hurry to ask what was going on.
Since they were the ones who came to look for him, they were the ones who were anxious. Why should he be anxious?
Xia Houqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanfei. His fingers slowly rubbed a folded fan. The fan bone was painted a bright red, forming a contrast with his beautifully trimmed fingertips, which were so pale that they were almost bloodless.
When he was silent, he didn’t look like a person of flesh and blood. He looked more like a white porcelain figure without a soul, both coquettish and lifeless.
Gu Yanfei’s smile didn’t decrease at all, and she was still as casual as ever. She said in a familiar tone, “Help me.”
Doi look like such a kind personPXia Houqing reflected in his heart. He neither agreed nor disagreed and only said lightly, “I have to reexamine your abilities. Is it worth cooperating with you?”
“Don’t be so petty.” Gu Yanfei held her chin and looked at him. She suggested casually, “Why don’t 1 lend you Qing Guang to play for two days?”
Good, good, good! ]ing Shan, who was guarding the door, nodded repeatedly. He wished he could agree on behalf of his Lord.
The corners of Xia Houqing’s red lips twitched as he spat out impatiently, “Scram.”
Gu Yanfei didn’t care about his impatience at all. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows didn’t change, and she went straight to the point. “How much do you know about Gu Ce surrendering nine years ago?”
Nine years ago, Xia Houqing was insignificant, and no one knew his name. His position had only risen in the State of Yue six years ago. In just a few years, he had taken control of the Heavenly Palace and dominated the court.
Xia Houqing stared at Gu Yanfei’s face for a while, his eyes as dark as ink..
