"Compared with fancy drinks, tea is easier to accept."
Gu Xiaotang told her reasons for choosing tea.
...
Do you like drinking boiled water the most?
Xiao Xiao thought of a classmate of his in junior high school.
It's a girl.
She also likes to drink boiled water the most.
Apart from her, he never met anyone who liked drinking boiled water the most.
No matter girls or boys.
Unexpectedly, I met another one now.
However, I always feel that it is more rare for girls to like drinking boiled water.
After all, most girls like to drink sweet drinks.
...
Xiao Xiao followed Gu Xiaotang to the teahouse he recommended.
"Xiaotang."
As soon as I walked into the teahouse, a cheerful voice sounded.
"Boss, please speak softly!"
A young man's voice, deliberately lowered, hurriedly sounded.
There was a hint of annoyance in it that made the middle-aged man facing Gu Xiaotang smile sarcastically.
"I know, I know."
The middle-aged man muttered.
"I can't even let people talk properly..."
The boy rolled his eyes.
"You open a teahouse, not a tavern."
How do you look like a majestic traveler?
"Don't disturb the guests' tea drinking."
...
"Pfft~"
Although he had seen the same scene several times, Gu Xiaotang still grinned.
"Uncle Xun, I'm in trouble for you."
He is obviously a rough guy who talks loudly, but he pretends to be elegant by speaking softly.
This is quite hard work.
...
This teahouse was opened by Uncle Xun for Aunt Jing.
Aunt Jing is Uncle Xun's wife.
A person lives up to his name.
She is a "generally" gentle and quiet woman.
I like the quiet and quiet atmosphere of the teahouse.
Well......
Why do we say generally?
You can tell from the fact that Aunt Jing's significant other is Uncle Xun.
Aunt Jing is also a little rebellious in her heart.
...
"You still understand me."
Uncle Xun patted Gu Xiaotang on the shoulder.
There was a look of sadness on his face.
He is naturally loud.
Coupled with his bold temperament.
If you don't pay attention, the volume will be too loud.
"This brat only talks about me every time."
Uncle Xun glared at the boy next to him.
The boy looked innocent.
"I'm just following the boss lady's instructions."
"The boss lady asked me to remind you when you let yourself go too far."
"Let you always remember that this is a teahouse."
"Don't make any noise."
"Don't disturb the guests drinking tea."
...
Uncle Xun:......
"I know, I know."
"My ears are ringing with these words."
Uncle Xun rubbed his ears.
Who told you to do it every time?
The boy was also helpless.
He doesn't want to be this "evil person" either.
However, the landlady’s orders are the most important.
I can only feel sorry for the boss.
...
"Um?"
Only then did Uncle Xun notice the person behind Gu Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang brought friends with him this time?"
Still a new face that I have never seen before.
...
"Yes."
Gu Xiaotang introduced the two of them, "Classmate Xiao, Uncle Xun is the owner of this teahouse."
"I came here to drink tea several times, and I became familiar with Uncle Xun."
"Hey, Xiaotang and I hit it off right away."
Uncle Xun chuckled.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Hello."
Uncle Xun and Gu Xiaotang have similar temperaments, so it seems natural that they can hit it off immediately.
...
"Uncle Xun, this is classmate Xiao."
Gu Xiaotang blinked at Uncle Xun, "He is a very powerful person."
Uncle Xun was slightly startled.
Then he nodded slightly with understanding.
He knew that Xiaotang was a "martial arts master".
He thought that when Xiaotang said that he was powerful, he was also referring to this aspect.
He looked at Classmate Xiao with a smile.
I was a little surprised in my heart.
Do all today's "martial arts masters" follow the route of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers?
He was a little emotional.
This classmate Xiao looks more like an elegant scholar.
Gentle and elegant, fair and clean.
Where is the dark-skinned and sinewy appearance of martial arts masters that he is accustomed to remember?
However, Xiaotang is not this type either.
...
"Uncle Xun, are there any private rooms?"
Gu Xiaotang thought for a while and decided to get a private room.
Convenient for conversation.
Although he hasn't decided what to talk about with classmate Xiao yet.
It's just a casual chat.
...
"have."
Uncle Xun nodded, "I'll take you there."
"Thank you, Uncle Xun."
Gu Xiaotang was not polite to Uncle Xun either.
He turned around and said, "Classmate Xiao, let's go."
...
After arriving at the private room, Uncle Xun joked with Gu Xiaotang for a few more words and then left.
Two young men were chatting. Why was this uncle staying there all the time?
...
The waiter quickly brought over the tea and refreshments ordered by Xiao Xiao and Gu Xiaotang.
The fragrant fragrance of tea spreads.
...
The sky outside quickly became dark.
The bamboo curtains were closed, and a cool breeze blew in.
"It is going to rain."
Gu Xiaotang looked up at the somewhat gray sky.
There was some joy in his eyes.
...
"Do you like rain?"
Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze from looking at the private room.
"Um."
Gu Xiaotang leaned half of her body out of the window.
"The rain is cool."
"and-"
There was some mystery in Gu Xiaotang's tone, "The best time to come here is when it rains."
Xiao Xiao thoughtfully said, "Because of that?"
He turned his head and looked at a large landscape ornament behind him.
Gu Xiaotang was stunned.
Then he became a little frustrated and said, "Classmate Xiao, you have no surprises anymore."
Xiao Xiao laughed, "I'm just guessing, I don't know what it is specifically."
"I'm looking forward to the next surprise."
...
Gu Xiaotang became excited instantly, "Well, please stay tuned."
"It will not let you down."
...
A bolt of lightning pierced the dark sky.
It instantly illuminated the world.
Immediately, thunder roared and rolled in.
The huge sound suppressed all the noise.
...
"Crackling~"
The rain was pouring down.
Splashing on the eaves.
Dancing on the ground.
...
Xiao Xiao's ears twitched slightly.
He stood up and walked to the landscape ornaments behind him.
A second later, a silver horse hung upside down from the towering cliff.
The waterwheel on the river below started to turn.
The originally static landscape suddenly became full of life.
Gradually, the sound of the piano flowed out from the mountains and flowing water, mixed with the clear sound of water and the sound of rain outside the window, which was exceptionally clear and distant.
...
"How about it?"
Gu Xiaotang took a look at Xiao Xiao's expression.
There was a deliberately suppressed excitement in his tone.
"Isn't it amazing?"
"I was shocked for a long time when I saw it for the first time."
"Uncle Xun is so thoughtful."
"I really can't tell."
"Speaking of which, at first I thought this was Aunt Jing's idea... to bring in the rain outside..."
"But Aunt Jing told me that this was Uncle Xun's idea."
His face must have been very funny at that time.
Because Aunt Jing covered her mouth and smiled so hard.
This was the first time he saw Aunt Jing smiling so... exaggeratedly.
"It's not my fault..."
Gu Xiaotang felt aggrieved for himself.
Who knew Uncle Xun had such delicate ideas and created such an artistic device?
Uncle Xun's appearance and usual behavior are too deceiving.
