After being stunned for a few seconds, You Tong gritted his teeth and rushed back to his desk, took out a small bag of tea leaves from the drawer, and then ran back to the tea room again.
After a while, a cup of hot tea will be ready
You Tong first knocked lightly on the door of Rong Yuchi's office, and then walked in cautiously after receiving a response.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She didn't even dare to breathe anymore, but she still had to bite the bullet and said, "I'm sorry, director, the coffee is gone. I made you a cup of tea. I hope you like it."
Rong Yuchi suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning
"This is your second work mistake today!" he said sternly.
You Tong's head was buzzing, and she was as helpless as a primary school student who had done something wrong. She barely managed to steady her rapid heartbeat, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Director!"
"Can you only say sorry?!"
"I'm sorry!" You Tong met his angry eyes and quickly lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Rong Yuchi felt a sense of suffocation in his chest. He frowned and looked at the tea on the table. The light green liquid was filled with crystal clear water. Although the tea was fragrant, he had long been accustomed to the richness of coffee.
"Director, please try it first. I'll make up the coffee later!" You Tong said hurriedly.
Rong Yuchi stared at her fiercely. Panic flashed in You Tong's eyes, but his whole body seemed to be pinned and he couldn't move. He just subconsciously lowered his head lower.
Rong Yuchi's throat felt tight. He picked up the tea cup and tried it reluctantly. The taste... was unexpectedly good!
"What kind of tea is this?!" Although he doesn't know much about tea, he can basically identify varieties such as Oolong, Tieguanyin, and Maojian, but he doesn't recognize this kind of tea.
“Jinxuan Tea from Alishan”
"There is such a thing in the pantry of the Finance Department?!" he asked sharply.
"No...this is mine. It was sent from my grandma who lives in Tainan." You Tong lowered his head and said, with a trace of longing for his hometown in his eyes.
"Tainan?!" Rong Yuchi raised his eyebrows slightly, his dark eyes becoming deeper and deeper, "Your family is all in Tainan?!"
You Tong's heartbeat skipped half a beat, and she suppressed the melancholy in her heart. She silently kept her dearest mother in her heart and softly said "hmm"
Rong Yuchi saw the loneliness and loss in her eyes, and a flash of vulnerability flashed across her delicate face, which actually made him unable to bear to pursue her fault any longer.
Maybe the fragrance of tea eased his anger, he thought
"go out!"
"yes"
You Tong turned around and left. Because she thought of her mother's relationship, her already heavy mood added a bit of sadness, and she even felt a little top-heavy.
She took a deep breath, told herself not to be distracted anymore, and devoted herself to her busy work. The day passed in such a muddle.
When it was time to get off work, You Tong stayed alone again and began to write a self-reflection letter. Many emotions such as self-blame, guilt, chagrin, and grievance came flooding in, making her head hurt even more.
Rong Yuchi had already left the company, but he returned halfway because he left a document in the office. He accidentally caught a glimpse of You Tong's slender figure, and his steps paused slightly.
