177. A cup of hot tea

Later on, Yan Shi read with Liang Ziqian for a while before the time reached noon. Yan Shi didn’t plan to go home to eat, so she ate together with Liang Ziqian at the restaurant above the study room building.

The restaurant at the upper floor was also an investment by Liang family. Its dishes tasted very good, its standard definitely did not lose to the chefs of some big restaurants. Yan Shi thought that this place didn’t plan to earn money at all and only served Liang Ziqian alone.

If it was in the past, Yan Shi would certainly be stunned, but after Yan family’s new year celebration and getting the red packets, she actually thought that this was very normal.

After eating, Yan Shi felt a bit sleepy, but she remembered that she still needed to continue studying later in the afternoon, so she kept her spirit up and opened her eyes.

Liang Ziqian meticulously noticed Yan Shi’s sleepiness, he said: “Want to sleep? You can go to the lounge to take a nap.”

Yan Shi raised her head in a blur. Her brain was heavy so she didn’t hear clearly what Liang Ziqian had said.

Liang Ziqian repeated his words again before Yan Shi heard it clearly. She nodded as her eyelids started to droop down.

As for what Liang Ziqian said again later on, Yan Shi wasn’t hearing it clearly anymore.

“Zsw’al yoyjl? Usxl yde pkv blal, es usw oydv vs eakdj y nwr sq vly?”

Yan Shi blinked and only noticed that it was not her delusion just now. Liang Ziqian was really smiling at her.

Yan Shi walked in Liang Ziqian’s direction, “What tea is it?”

“Honey pomelo tea, I think you will like it.” Liang Ziqian poured one cup to Yan Shi.

The light yellow, transparent liquid was still steaming with vapor. Going slightly closer, Yan Shi could smell the aroma of the pomelo and the sweetness of the honey.

Yan Shi sat beside Liang Ziqian. She clasped the tea cup, after taking a sip, she found that it really tasted very good.

“Senior, I like it very much, but why do you suddenly want to make honey pomelo tea? I thought you like green tea better.”

Liang Ziqian smiled and said: “It’s one thing to like it, but suitability is also important. To be drinking green tea at this time, I’m scared you may not be able to sleep at night.”

Yan Shi drank another sip of the honey pomelo tea and thought that this tea was really too sweet, but she really liked it.

“Senior, I’d never think of this if you never mention this.”

Liang Ziqian said: “I’ll send you to school after eating dinner.”

Yan Shi nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

After Yan Shi finished eating and she’d reached the school, the sky had completely turned dark. Cheng Yimian had been waiting for her, and prepared a hand warmer for her.

“Sigh, if not because Xiao Shi Tou is not mine today, why do I need to give you this hand warmer.” Cheng Yimian deliberately sighed in despair.

Yan Shi wanted to laugh from his tease, as she said: “Ah Feng will be angry if you talk like this.”

Cheng Yimian didn’t care at all as he said: “Better if he hears it.”

“I’ve heard it.” Nan Fengyi walked in from outside, his hand was holding a small box.

“What smell is it? It smells so nice.” Yan Shi smelt the sweet scent in the air.

Nan Fengyi opened the box, there were a few pink and small dumplings, which looked very soft and chewy.

“I heard that these are very popular recently, so I bought one set.”

“Are they for me?” Yan Shi was surprised.

Nan Fengyi poked a dumpling and sent it to Yan Shi’s mouth with not very skilled movements.

Yan Shi didn’t even hesitate as she opened her mouth. But Nan Fengyi had never fed someone before, so the powder on the dumpling still smeared onto Yan Shi’s chin.

“Yup! It tastes good!” Yan Shi’s eyes narrowed because of happiness.

Seeing how happy Yan Shi was, Nan Fengyi also subconsciously smiled.

Cheng Yimian saw the sweetness between the two of them and snorted in disdain.

Yan Shi heard Cheng Yimian’s sound and realized that Yimian was still around, so she shouldn’t show that she was too happy.

Yan Shi kept her smile back but the emotions in her eyes still couldn’t be hidden.

Nan Fengyi started to speak: “It’s quite late now, I hope that someone can return to his room.”

Cheng Yimian wanted to claim Yan Shi for his own, but he still understood that some rules had to be followed.

“Xiao Shi Tou, let’s see each other tomorrow morning.”

Yan Shi waved her hand towards Cheng Yimian, “See you tomorrow morning.”

Cheng Yimian turned back three times after each step. It was just a few meters of distance but it took him three minutes of walking.

In the end, it was still Nan Fengyi who pushed him out directly for Cheng Yimian to completely get out of the room.

The scene where the senior makes tea seem unnecessary, but it’s actually a hint. He has something he likes, but it’s not suitable for Xiao Shi Tou, so he tolerated Xiao Shi Tou. Being tolerant doesn’t mean that he will give up what he likes, it’s only due to his love for Xiao Shi Tou.
