Chapter 1531: Chapter 1526: The Thoroughly Withered Tea Tree

"Okay!"

Eagerly anticipating it, Xiaobei nodded lightly upon hearing her speak...

Glancing at the pale yellow tea, Xiaobei reached out, lifting it under her gaze.

Sipping it gently, a glimmer of brightness flashed in Xiaobei’s eyes.

This was because the taste of the tea was genuinely quite nice.

Seeing the gleam in Xiaobei’s eyes, she knew what Xiaobei’s evaluation was.

With a gentle smile, she put down the teaware in her hand and asked calmly, "How is it? Does it taste okay? If you have any feedback, you can tell me! I will try my best to avoid all the problems you mentioned in my future practices!"

Towards the end, a trace of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Because she genuinely hoped that Xiaobei could give her some good pointers.

To see if there really were areas in need of improvement.

Hearing such a slightly expectant inquiry, Xiaobei glanced at her and smiled lightly.

Afterwards, Xiaobei spoke calmly, "You’re really not bad! For the first time, to achieve this level is really commendable!"

As he spoke, Xiaobei took another sip of tea, and in that instant, the absolutely sweet fragrance spread from his taste buds to his entire body.

This sensation made Xiaobei involuntarily want to take a deep breath.

"The first time? How...how do you know this is my first time performing the tea ceremony?"

She looked at Xiaobei in astonishment...

Because she never expected Xiaobei to see through everything directly.

Today was her first time performing the tea ceremony.

But previously, she had practiced alone many times.

She thought she was particularly proficient, so Xiaobei couldn’t possibly tell.

But now, he actually figured it out...

Seeing her shocked expression, Xiaobei knew he really had guessed correctly.

Honestly, Xiaobei was merely guessing earlier.

The reason he made such a guess was that Xiaobei felt her heartbeat was especially fast from beginning to end.

Although her expression always remained particularly calm, her heartbeat was genuinely fast all along.

Based on that, Xiaobei guessed many things.

"I just guessed randomly, and it seems I guessed quite accurately!"

Hearing Xiaobei’s proud tone, she snorted softly, "Just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat!"

After speaking, she pouted in annoyance, looking at Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, you’ll be an official member here from now on! You can come and go as you please. You can also taste any tea leaves here at will."

Hearing about these benefits, Xiaobei was a bit surprised, "For free?"

In Xiaobei’s view, these benefits were really a lot, so it shouldn’t possibly be free!

"Yes! Everything is free!"

"This membership perk is too good!"

Hearing such a definitive answer, Xiaobei was slightly surprised. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At this moment, he was a bit curious about how this tea room’s owner was making money by being so philanthropic.

"You’re probably curious about how we earn money here! Actually, we haven’t been profitable for a long time; it’s completely supported by everyone’s contributions! Once you frequently interact with others, you’ll surely come to like this place, and by then, you’ll be willing to contribute to the tea room’s operation too!"

"I see!"

Xiaobei squinted his eyes.

He knew that if someone truly loved the tea ceremony, they would definitely be willing to contribute financially.

"Yes! Let’s continue drinking tea!"

"Okay!"

After sipping a few more times, Xiaobei remembered the main matter.

In that instant, Xiaobei turned his head to look at the withered tea tree not far away.

"I want to ask, is that tea tree already dead?"

Originally brewing tea earnestly, she heard Xiaobei speak thus, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, we tried all sorts of methods before, but there’s no way to revive it!"

As she explained, she recalled all the previous efforts...

In that instant, she felt involuntarily weary...

For it, she truly gave it her all, but it was utterly ineffective.

"Was it sick?"

"No, it wasn’t sick, rather it lost its Life Force! You understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand!"

Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Xiaobei knew that tea trees also have lifespans.

So, over the years, tea trees also wither and die.

Tea lovers don’t want to see this happen, so every time their tea tree begins to wither, they try all means to retain it.

But, basically, they don’t succeed, because this is the law of nature, and humans can’t win against nature.

"Everyday, when I wake up, I want to take a few glances at it, hoping it will grow green leaves again, but I’m disappointed every time. Now, I’ve gotten used to it."

Seeing Xiaobei frown, she spoke with some hoarseness again.

Previously, she truly cared a lot!

But now, she gradually accepted everything...

Feeling the intense loss, Xiaobei smiled gently, "I’m not sure if you’d like to see it come back to life?"

Hearing Xiaobei’s curious inquiry, a trace of different light flashed in her eyes, and she spoke excitedly, "Yes! Of course, I want to! But... but it’s impossible!"

Trees can’t come back to life!

She understood this principle, so she genuinely didn’t believe it could come back to life!

"With me, it’s possible!"

Finishing this confidently, Xiaobei picked up the tea and downed it in one go!

After this, while putting down the tea cup, Xiaobei casually asked, "By the way, I still don’t know your name!"

When Xiaobei asked this, he rubbed his nose awkwardly...

Because he should have asked her name long ago, but he kept forgetting it before.

Sensing Xiaobei’s slight embarrassment, she smiled faintly, "Oh! You finally remembered to ask my name, it’s really my honor!"

She quickly teased him, because she also felt a bit downhearted.

Earlier he had many opportunities to ask her name, but he never did...

Rubbing his nose awkwardly, Xiaobei whispered, "Umm... previously, I focused all my attention on the tea you made, so... so I overlooked this matter!"

"That’s such a lame excuse!"

Hearing such a tease, Xiaobei stroked his forehead and muttered in extreme embarrassment, "Uh! Just because you see through something doesn’t mean you should say it!"

"I’ve been defeated by you, now I’ll tell you my name, but I’ll only say it once, so make sure you listen carefully, got it?"

"Yes! I will!"

Seeing Xiaobei with a serious expression, she took a deep breath and whispered solemnly, "My name is Lingling Mu, I should be a bit younger than you, so in the future, you can call me Sister Lingling! Or just Lingling!"

"Okay, I’ve remembered your name; I won’t forget it in this lifetime!"

"You better not forget, otherwise I’ll..."

Before she could finish her threat, a sudden flurry of footsteps was heard...

"Who is it?"

Muttering this, she quickly turned her head, and Xiaobei also turned his head, as he just heard those somewhat disorderly footsteps...
