Chapter 66 The Tea Is Cold, But Someone's Face Was Burnt
"Yuhua, do you want to come and read my handwriting?"
Putting down the paintbrush, Jinguji Kiyohime waved to Igarashi Goka.
Igarashi Mika put down the ordinary-tasting tea and walked to the desk.
"How does it compare to before?"
"very good."
Knowing that her friend would not lie about this matter, Jinguji Kiyohime's eyebrows arched.
Like a clear lotus suddenly blooming in the water.
"Izumi-kun taught me well."
Igarashi Mika glanced at Izumi Tetsu who was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea made by herself, and said: "It seems that he is not useless?"
"Otherwise, why is he the minister?" Jinguji Kiyohime asked back, then came to Izumi Toru's side and said softly: "Izumi-kun, I want to drink tea."
"Here, here you go." Izumi Toru handed her his half-drunk teacup.
She pouted and glared at him.
"Izumi-kun!"
There was a hint of shyness in the girl's angry voice.
"Sorry, sorry." Izumi Toru apologized without sincerity, and then took back his hand.
Jinguji Kiyohime knew that he was deliberately teasing her. She hummed softly and picked up her tea cup.
"I'll pour it myself."
Izumi Toru quickly grabbed the teapot.
"No, no, I'll do it, give me a chance."
"All right……"
Watching the young man pouring tea for himself, Jinguji Kiyohime recalled the way the two got along when Mika just left.
At that time, Izumi Toru would only be respectful to her.
With a touch of distance and respect.
But now, it's different.
Did he transfer part of his feelings for Mika to me?
Or has he been unable to suppress his emotions after being together day and night?
Jinguji Kiyohime didn't care about the reason.
She only knew that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
The physical distance is true, and the psychological distance is true as well.
However, compared to emotions, mine is more passionate...
Jinguji Seihime thought so as she took the tea from Izumi Toru.
minister?
But I just lost to him once or twice and committed myself to it temporarily. I have never recognized him as a minister!
Igarashi Mika walked towards the two of them.
"How is it? Is the black tea I made good?" Izumi asked proudly.
Jinguji Kiyohime hesitated for a while.
"Yuhua, how about you do the talking..."
Igarashi Mika raised her eyebrows, "You really want me to tell you?"
Izumi Toru said immediately: "I suddenly don't want to know, please don't say it. Please!"
"To put it simply, it's useless! It's a waste of time to brew such good tea in such a way. The first water is used for sanitary ware, but you didn't do it. Black tea needs to be filled to half of the teapot first, and when the tea leaves are completely brewed, you can't
Not done. Also, don’t you think filling the tea cup completely will make it inconvenient for people to drink..."
Hearing Jinguji Kiyohime's slightly pleading voice, Igarashi Mika curled her lips and said, "Hey!"
The shocked young man muttered: "I clearly said it was [in simple terms], but in the end, I still made such a long speech..."
Igarashi Mika frowned.
"What I just said is just the mistake you made on the surface. If you want to talk about it, it also includes the brewing time and temperature..."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please spare my life!"
"That's what you are like..."
"Mika, okay, okay." Jinguji Kiyohime quickly pulled her to sit on the sofa, "Izumi-kun, pour some tea."
"oh……"
After pouring tea for the two of them again, Izumi Toru picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying to himself: "I think it's okay."
"Compared to the totally undrinkable tea you made before, it's actually pretty good."
After Igarashi Mika finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and frowned slightly.
Jinguji Kiyohime pretended not to hear anything.
Izumi Toru stared at Igarashi Mika with his peripheral vision, and thought viciously: If you weren't beautiful, my family was rich and powerful, and I couldn't beat you, look at how I would teach you a lesson!
"What rude thing are you thinking about?"
The Snow Queen's sight became dangerous.
"I'm thinking, God is really unfair! It's enough for Igarashi to be good-looking, but he ranks first in academic ability and outstanding athletic ability. It's really hateful!"
Being praised by him in an extremely indignant tone, Igarashi Mika opened her mouth, but in the end she just said with a hint of disgust:
"boring."
Then, she drank the nearly cold tea in one gulp and frowned even more.
"One more cup?" Izumi Toru raised the teapot.
"You want to kill me?"
"Hey! No matter what, it's too much to say that the tea I brewed tastes terrible to death!"
Igarashi Mika glanced at him appreciatively.
"You can actually understand the meaning of my words, that's amazing!"
The corner of Izumi Toru's mouth twitched twice: "I don't think this is a compliment..."
Jinguji Kiyohime covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"It's great, just like before."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the expressions of the other two people changed.
"It's getting late, we have a meeting." Igarashi Mika stood up.
"Izumi-kun, please come on."
"Don't bother him! I thought about it, it's better to let the secretary of the student union take the position of secretary. I won't bother..."
"Ohana!" Jinguji Kiyohime shouted in a slightly louder voice.
Igarashi Mika fell silent.
"How about treating it as a contribution to maintaining the existence of the Book and Tea Study Club?"
"……good."
Seeing that she agreed, Jinguji Kiyohime showed a slight smile. Then, she looked at Izumi Toru and asked, "You don't blame me for putting more burden on you, do you?"
"It's easy for me."
"That's good."
…
On the way to the conference room, Izumi Toru suddenly spoke:
"Did you just do it on purpose?"
"Um?"
Igarashi Mika frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand Izumi Tetsu's words.
"You knew what Jinguji wanted, so you deliberately showed the changes she expected to see in front of her, didn't you?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" the girl asked.
"If so, I'm very grateful to you for being willing to cooperate with me in acting."
"What if not?" she asked again.
"If not?" He repeated it, and Izumi Toru suddenly laughed, "Wouldn't that prove that you were wrong to leave?"
Igarashi Mika squinted her eyes, with a cold look in her eyes.
Izumi Tetsu looked at her calmly.
"Qing Ji is my friend, I don't need your gratitude to do something to make her happy!"
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. I'm so sorry!"
…
After Izumi Toru and Igarashi Mika left the classroom, Jinguji Kiyohime began to pack away the tea sets on the coffee table.
When she saw the remaining tea in Izumi Tetsu's cup, she suddenly stopped.
After hesitating for a while, she picked it up and took a shallow sip.
The tea has gone cold.
The taste is still just average.
But the girl's face turned red as if she had been burned.
