After the wonderful time in the restaurant, Jason drove the car, playing soft and soothing music, and drove Lina to her residence. The sun shone through the car window and sprinkled on the two of them, outlining a warm outline. When they arrived downstairs of Lina’s house, Jason parked the car but did not turn off the engine immediately. The two chatted in the car for a while. The topic naturally turned from the food in the restaurant to the discussion of the little happiness in life.
Lina’s eyes flashed with a hint of shyness and expectation. She bit her lips slightly and finally plucked up the courage to say: “Jason, if it’s convenient for you, would you like to go upstairs to my house and sit? I live alone, and I have good tea brought back from China at home. Since I went to China, I have been deeply fascinated by the tea ceremony. I want to make a pot of tea for you to taste.” After hearing this, Jason’s eyes lit up instantly, and he agreed without hesitation: “That’s great, I have never experienced the authentic tea ceremony, I couldn’t ask for it.”
Jason parked the car steadily in the parking space and walked side by side with Lina to the corridor. On the way, they met a neighbor aunt. The aunt smiled and looked at the two of them, jokingly saying, “Lina, are you bringing your boyfriend home?” Lina’s face instantly turned red to her ears. She waved her hands and stammered, “Ah… Auntie, no, he’s my friend, and he came to play at home for a while.” After that, she secretly glanced at Jason with a hint of panic in her eyes.
Entering Lina’s room, Jason’s eyes lit up. The living room is spacious and bright, with a simple but elegant decoration style. The cream-white sofa is placed in the center of the living room, matched with several colorful pillows, which looks warm and comfortable. There are several exquisite art paintings hanging on the wall, adding a bit of artistic atmosphere to the room. In a corner of the living room, there is a tall bookshelf filled with various books, covering literature, art, economics and other fields. Jason thought to himself that this girl is not only beautiful in appearance, but also so rich in heart.
After Lina asked Jason to sit on the sofa, she walked lightly to the kitchen and washed the tea set carefully. Then, she turned around and said apologetically, “Wait for me for a moment. I’ll go change my clothes.” After a while, Lina came out of the room. She was wearing a low-necked short dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps. Jason was a little tipsy after drinking just now, and seeing Lina’s dress at this moment, he felt even more pleasing to the eye. Lina had a sweet smile on her face and sat down opposite Jason.
She first put the kettle on the electric ceramic stove, and the blue flame instantly jumped up, making a slight “sizzling” sound. While the water was boiling, Lina picked up the teapot beside her and gently opened it. A fresh and elegant tea fragrance instantly spread. “This is the Longjing tea that I brought back from China. It is a treasure among green teas. I hope you will like it.” As Lina said, she carefully scooped out an appropriate amount of tea leaves with a teaspoon and put it into the exquisite purple clay pot.
The water boiled, Lina lifted the kettle and slowly poured the boiling water into the purple clay pot along the wall of the pot, the water flow was as delicate as silk. The tea leaves stretched out instantly under the hot water and began to release a charming aroma. Lina gently shook the purple clay pot to let the tea leaves fully soak, and then poured out the first brew of tea soup, which is called “washing tea” to remove impurities on the surface of the tea leaves.
Then, she poured in boiling water again, covered the pot lid, waited for a while, and poured the tea soup into the fairness cup. The golden tea soup flashed an attractive luster in the fairness cup, and the aroma became more and more rich. Lina poured the tea soup into the small tea cups one by one, with graceful and skillful movements. She gently pushed a cup of tea in front of Jason and said, “Jason, try it.”
Jason picked up the tea cup and sniffed it gently, and the fresh tea fragrance instantly penetrated into his heart and lungs. He took a sip, and the tea soup spread in his mouth, first slightly bitter, then long aftertaste, fresh and refreshing, making people have endless aftertaste. “Wow, this tea is so delicious, your tea-making skills are simply amazing.” Jason praised sincerely.
Lina smiled and said: “Tea ceremony is not just about making tea, but also a kind of state of mind. Every time I make tea, I feel that I can temporarily forget the troubles of the outside world and immerse myself in this tranquility.” Jason nodded and said: “I can understand, just like when I analyze the trend of the Bitcoin market, the feeling of concentration and dedication can also make me forget all the troubles.”
The two continued to chat happily while sipping tea. Lina talked about the interesting things she experienced when traveling in China. She vividly described the scenes of listening to traditional operas and tasting various special tea snacks in the ancient teahouse. Jason shared the strange people and things he encountered in his investment career, which made Lina laugh like a silver bell from time to time.
Jason’s eyes kept falling on Lina. Her proud figure and fair skin were even more charming under the light, making Jason’s mouth dry. Lina seemed to feel Jason’s fiery gaze, and her cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not avoid it. Instead, there was a hint of shy smile in her eyes. The two of them were immersed in this warm atmosphere.
