“l drank a little. I’m a little dizzy. Can I make a cup of tea at your house?” Song Jia said.
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Song Jia to say that he was a little dizzy. She hurriedly nodded. “Okay, I’ll get your cup.”
After taking out a simple tea set, Lu Zhen wanted to help Song Jia make tea. Song Jia said, “It’s fine. I’ll do it myself. You have to use boiling water to make black tea. Be careful not to burn you.”
The man’s thoughtfulness made Lu Zhen’s heart skip a beat. She put down the tea set. “Then be careful too.’
Song Jia skillfully distributed the black tea into the tea bowl. After the water heater heated the water in the pot to a boil, he started to make tea.
Lu Zhen watched from the side and asked curiously, “Don’t you need to wash tea?”
Generally speaking, washing tea before drinking it would allow the tea leaves to spread out and make good tea more easily. At the same time, it could also remove dust and impurities.
Hearing Lu Zhen’s question, Song Jia explained, “The tea leaves your father sent are the highest quality black tea in the country. They grow in a high-end environment and the production process is strictly controlled. There’s no problem with pesticide residue and impurities. There’s no need to wash the tea. It can be brewed directly to maintain the fragrance and texture of the tea.”
Only then did Lu Zhen understand. She looked at Song Jia in admiration. “You know so much?”
“When I was young, the elders in my family liked to drink tea, so I learned a little.” Song Jia smiled faintly.
Hearing this. Lu Zhen suddenly remembered that she had never seen Song Jia mention his family. After getting to know him, he had even spent the Spring Festival alone.
Why didn’t he go home? Although Lu Zhen was puzzled, she thought that this was Song Jia’s personal privacy, so she didn’t ask.
Soon, Song Jia was done brewing the tea. The tea in the cup was a faint reddish-brown color, clear and beautiful. Song Jia took out a small teacup and poured a cup of tea. He looked at Lu Zhen. “Do you want to try it?”
Lu Zhen took the small teacup and took a small sip. The tea tasted sweet and mellow. The tea slid down her throat, smooth and comfortable. Her eyes widened slightly. She looked at Song Jia and said, “You brewed much better than me. Looks like my skills aren’t good, or you’re better.”
“You don’t have to be as particular as me. Black tea of this quality is delicious. Of course, if you want to learn how to brew it further, 1 can teach you at any time.” Song Jia also took a sip of tea and looked at Lu Zhen with bright eyes.
Lu Zhen smiled in embarrassment. “Thank you.” After her rebirth, Lu Zhen’s learning attitude was extremely good. She would study with a probing spirit when she didn’t understand anything. She felt a sense of accomplishment when she improved.
“Don’t drink too much. You won’t be able to sleep at night if you drink too much black tea,” Song Jia reminded Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen only took a small sip. Actually, she wanted to continue drinking, but she still had work tomorrow and would be resting later. She could only endure the reluctance and put down the teacup. She looked up at Song Jia. “What about you? You’ll lose sleep again after drinking so much tea.”
“It’s fine. I’m dizzy after drinking. Drinking tea is just to neutralize it. It won’t affect my sleep,” Song Jia said casually. In fact, he had only suggested drinking tea because he wanted to stay with Lu Zhen for a while longer.
Lu Zhen hadn’t drunk much and didn’t know if what Song Jia said made sense, but she trusted Song Jia in her heart. Since Song Jia said so, she believed him.
Lu Zhen yawned and said to Song Jia, “Then you should rest early when you get back.”
Song Jia nodded and stood up. He picked up the bag containing the tea leaves and prepared to leave. Lu Zhen sent Song Jia to the door. Just as Song Jia was about to leave, his body suddenly swayed. Lu Zhen was shocked and hurriedly held Song Jia’s arm. “What’s wrong?”
The distance between the two of them closed in an instant. Lu Zhen could smell the mixed scents on Song Jia’s body. She was wrapped in those scents, and the temperature on her face quickly rose. Song Jia lowered his head slightly and could see the baby-like fine hair on Lu Zhen’s ears. He said in a low voice, “I’m fine, I’m just a little dizzy.”
The man’s voice was low and hoarse, like a small hook. It was extremely tempting. Lu Zhen’s brain stopped thinking, and her eardrums itched. A few seconds later, Lu Zhen reminded him with a dry mouth, “Then don’t drink so much next time. If you can, decline it.”
Song Jia pretended to be unsteady and bent down slightly. He was even closer to Lu Zhen. When he spoke, the air he breathed swept past Lu Zhen’s ears.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Lu Zhen’s face was originally a little hot, but when she heard this, her earlobes turned red and her ears itched..
