But today, she suddenly wanted to taste it because of the old man in front of her with anticipation.

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?" The old man stared at her expression with bright eyes, his face full of anticipation, like a child waiting for praise.

"Well... it's a little astringent." An Ran pondered for a moment, savored the taste in her mouth, and shook her head and said.

"Is it the first time I have tea?" Hearing her comment, the old man was not angry at her shaking his head, but instead asked with a smile.

"Yes, how do you know?" She looked up at the old man with a look of surprise.

Although it was indeed her first time drinking tea, how did he know?

"This kind of black tea has always been famous for its strong taste. Generally, if you are used to drinking it, you will feel very mellow. But when you drink it for the first time, you will feel a little bitter, but when you drink it for the second sip, you will feel a sweet aftertaste." As if to solve the problem for An Ran, the old man explained with a smile.

"Is that true?" An Ran looked at the old man in confusion, saw him nodding solemnly, looked down at the cup in his hand, and took a sip. As the old man said, after swallowing the second sip, there was a hint of sweetness after the bitterness.

"I'm right?" An Ran's expression made Mr. Ming raise his eyebrows happily, then he pulled her hand and said as he walked: "I have a few kinds of tea here. You can try it together to see which one you like. I'll give it to you."

"Ah? OK." After hearing Mr. Ming's words, An Ran was slightly stunned and wanted to refuse, but when she saw the old man's enthusiastic smile, she couldn't say anything to refuse. So she subconsciously looked at Mingrui, wanting him to say something for him. After all, she came here to learn close combat, not to tasting tea.

However, when her eyes met Octavia, she saw that he was just shrugging helplessly at him, looking helpless. She felt angry in her heart and gritted her teeth at him.

You are so sad that you don’t help me, wait for me.

Looking at her Anran who wanted to bite her, Mingrui held back her smile and pretended to be helpless and shook her head and sighed, saying that she was powerless. After all, that was his old man, what could he do?

"Look, this is Jiuqu Hongmei, this is... let's try it together today." Old Master Ming pulled An Ran to the coffee table, pressed her on a rattan chair, and then turned around and took out tea buckets from a cabinet and placed them on the coffee table, and every time he took it out, he would say a name that she had never heard of.

Listening to the old man talking nonstop about his treasure, An Ran was a little dazed. While the old man was not paying attention, he moved his lips silently to Mingrui, and told him to tell the old man that she was just here to drink a glass of water, and there was something to be done and left immediately. But this time, Octavia seemed to have not seen her gaze at all, but instead stepped forward to help the old man get the tea bucket. His respectful and humble appearance was like a model filial son and grandson.

"Who is here today? He is so happy to laugh." At this moment, a loud smile came from the door, and then an old lady with a smile on her face walked in. When she saw An Ran sitting next to the coffee table, she was obviously stunned, and then she kept staring at An Ran standing at the door without moving.

"What are you doing at the door? Make more dishes today. I will keep the girl at home for dinner." When Mr. Ming saw his wife coming back, he said while fiddling with the teacup in his hand.

"No..." No, I'll leave later.

"Yes, grandma, you must show off your unique skills today. I haven't eaten the dishes you cooked for a long time. Now I think about it and I feel drooling."

As soon as she heard the old man's words, An Ran quickly stood up from the rattan chair and was about to refuse politely. After all, she really had something to do. When she met something unexpected to Octavia, it was even more unexpected to come here. But unexpectedly, before she finished her words, Octavia had already stood up from the old man. When she spoke the first word, she interrupted her words. She said loudly and walked to the old lady who was still stunned at the door, reached out to take the things she carried in her hand, and hugged the old man and walked towards the kitchen.

"Who told you not to come? You deserve it." Old Lady Ming glanced at An Ran who was standing there but wanted to speak, then smiled and looked at his grandson's greedy look. She glanced at him with annoyance, but the deep happiness in her words could not be concealed.

"Yes, yes, my fault." Octavia kept nodding, as if he could accept punishment.

"You just know that you are smooth-mouthed..."

Looking at their backs talking and laughing, An Ran opened and closed her red lips, opened and closed her mouth for a long time, but couldn't put a word in a word, and finally she could only lower her head in frustration.

"Come on, girl, try this... how does it taste?" Just as Octavia and Old Lady Ming's tea had already been brewed. While talking to An Ran, he filled the tea cup in front of her with his own hands.

"Grandpa...I..."

"Don't you want to drink?" After An Ran sat down, she gritted her teeth and wanted to explain to the old man that she really couldn't eat here. She was really worried, but before she could finish her words, the old man immediately interrupted her, looking at her with disappointment, and then looking at the tea he had just poured, with a look of frustration.

"no……"

"Then try it. I promise this cup tastes much better than the one just now."

Unable to bear to see the old man's disappointed look, An Ran was about to explain something, but the old man interrupted her again. He couldn't wait to pick up the tea just now and hand it to her, with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Okay." Looking at the old man's expectant eyes, An Ran had to take the teacup and take a sip, but she was obviously a little absent-minded.

"How is it?" She just swallowed a small mouthful of tea, and the old man immediately asked anxiously, his gaze with a burning gaze was like a shining star.
