Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 19 Does Mr. Huo Want to Be an Angel?

Su Ruoyun tilted her head up to meet Huo Jingcheng's dark eyes and immediately denied it, saying, "No, I just wanted to confirm."

As she spoke, the screen of her phone lit up, and the time changed to 00:00.

The light was exceptionally conspicuous in the darkness. After catching a glimpse of it, Su Ruoyun also noticed that it was getting late. Without offering any further explanation or lingering, she bid farewell to Huo Jingcheng and stepped out of the magnificent villa.

A few courtyard lights on the lawn cast dim light, illuminating the path ahead. Su Ruoyun held the cat while looking down at the road.

Huo Jingcheng didn't go inside either. He stood on a few steps, his arms crossed, watching Su Ruoyun leave from afar.

Su Ruoyun carried the 'panda' into the car. She raised her hand and turned on the interior light, and the dim yellow light quickly enveloped the entire car. She stared at the deliberately cute little cat for two seconds, and without caring whether the little guy understood or not, she started to 'lecture' him.

"You wouldn't stay in the car, you insisted on going to someone else's car. That was so dangerous! Do you know how long your mother has been looking for you? You must have been starving all day. You need to be taught a lesson..."

The panda sat solemnly in the passenger seat, its deep blue eyes sparkling, though it was unclear whether it understood what was being said.

Su Ruoyun only stopped her 'loving education' when she saw the kitten rubbing its head against the leather seat and realized it was really hungry.

Instead of starting the car, she took a can of cat food from a plastic bag and fed the kitten the food.

Watching the 'panda' eat with relish, Su Ruoyun twitched the corners of her mouth.

As Huo Jingcheng leaned against the wall, he caught a glimpse of the girl's smiling face through the car window. Recalling her incessant chatter like Tang Sanzang, his chest trembled slightly, and he let out a low chuckle.

A soft laugh drifted in the evening breeze.

After finishing a can of cat food, Su Ruoyun stroked the kitten's head. 'Panda' slowly yawned, realizing that the cat was also sleepy. She pulled over the seat belt and fastened it, then raised her hand to turn on the headlights, illuminating a large area of ​​light in the distance.

Late at night, in the quiet villa area, the sound of an engine could be heard, and then the car turned onto the driveway and left Xiyuan.

Su Ruoyun didn't get home until around 1 a.m., and she put her car keys on the entryway cabinet.

After entering the house, I put the kitten on the ground. 'Panda' had already taken its own little steps and run to the cat bed, where it comfortably found a position to lie down.

Su Ruoyun changed into slippers and couldn't help but yawn. Half an hour later, after washing up, she lay in bed, feeling sleepy. Soon, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.

……

During the bright daylight, dappled sunlight streamed into the apartment through gaps in the deep blue curtains.

Su Ruoyun slept until she naturally woke up at 12:30 pm. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she slipped on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom. There were already three or four dishes on the dining table.

Just then, Aunt Li came out carrying a bowl of soup and saw Su Ruoyun.

Su Ruoyun greeted her, and Aunt Li smiled and said, "There's one more dish, then lunch will be ready."

She nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then they walked to the cat's bed, where Aunt Li had already prepared the 'panda' cat food.

After petting the cat once, Su Ruoyun sat down at the dining table and began to slowly enjoy her lunch.

It was already 1:30 pm when she went out. She went into the dressing room, picked out a denim overalls and a chiffon blouse from the wardrobe, and changed out of her loungewear.

Standing in front of the mirror, she hooked her right hand around the silk hair tie on her left wrist, weaving it back and forth. Her slightly wavy long hair was tied into a ponytail, and the ends of her hair swayed gently as she walked. Her outfit was fresh and simple.

Around noon, the roads in Beijing were thankfully free of traffic, and it only took me about twenty minutes to get to the teahouse.

Xiao Li said, "Today, Mr. Huo has booked a private room at Guanlan again, from 3 pm to 5 pm." "Okay, I understand."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Jingcheng appeared at the entrance of the teahouse on time.

He declined Xiao Hu's directions and walked alone to the east wing, pushed open the door of the private room, and slowly stepped over the threshold.

Inside, there was a four-panel folding screen that served as a partition, separating the inner room. Huo Jingcheng walked around the solid wood screen depicting lakes and mountains, where Su Ruoyun was kneeling on a futon cushion, looking down at Lu Yu's Tea Classic with a serious expression.

His footsteps were steady and unhurried as he gradually approached.

Stepping into the inner room, a peony-patterned incense burner with green leaves sits on one corner of the tea table. Wisps of light incense smoke rise from the opening, like a sliver of sky, filling the air with a delicate pear fragrance.

The dark brown window frames are carved with intricate and delicate wood patterns, and the bright sunlight outside shines through the window panes, casting dappled light and shadow.

The interplay of natural light and shadow with the architecture is considered the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics.

The private room is furnished with tatami mats and a long table with cushions. A delicate copper chandelier hangs above the tea table, creating a unique Zen atmosphere. Tea sets and vases are placed on the long table, with willow branches inserted in the vases. Candied fruits and snack platters are also placed on the rosewood table.

Su Ruoyun casually closed the book, placed the tea classic on the tea table, turned her head to look outside, and happened to meet the man's eyes.

Huo Jingcheng spoke slowly: "Boss Yun's business is doing well."

The cars parked in the alleyways are all luxury cars, and customers come and go in a constant stream.

When praised, Su Ruoyun smiled and said modestly, "It's just a small business."

in fact……

The majority of the reason is attributed to his eldest brother, Su Mingyan; most of the customers who come for tea are there because of him.

She was just using Su Mingyan's connections.

"It seems like this is more than just a small business; it makes me quite interested in this teahouse business."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun made a harmless joke, "Mr. Huo, would you like to be an angel?"

She used the term "angel" to refer to the earliest investors.

Huo Jingcheng asked her seriously, "Do you have a business plan?"

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Mr. Huo's good intentions, as we're operating on a small scale and have no plans."

Seeing Huo Jingcheng sit down at the tea table, Su Ruoyun asked seriously, "What kind of tea would you like to drink this time?"

As she spoke, she pushed the tea menu in front of Huo Jingcheng.

The paper tea menu felt exceptionally high-quality to the touch. Huo Jingcheng glanced down at it carefully; the prices on the menu varied. He then looked at Su Ruoyun and asked, "Does Boss Ruoyun have any recommendations?"

As the boss, Su Ruoyun naturally had some knowledge of tea. She readily shared her insights: "Green tea has a fresh and elegant aroma, refreshing and pure, slightly bitter but with a quick aftertaste; white tea has a milder and more elegant aroma, leaning towards natural plant notes, with a fresh, slightly sweet, and smooth taste; yellow tea is as fresh and natural as green tea, but with a touch more sweetness and depth compared to green tea, making it fresh, mellow, and smooth; black tea is mainly floral and fruity, with aromas similar to nuts, dried fruits, or fresh fruits. Among them, Lapsang Souchong has a special pine aroma produced by smoking with pine wood, making it smooth and sweet; oolong tea has a richer and more varied aroma, with floral and fruity notes that are more pronounced, richer, and more varied than black tea, leaning towards a rich floral and ripe fruit aroma, refreshing and mellow; dark tea has a unique woody aroma formed after fermentation, making it mellow, rich, and smooth."

After listening, Huo Jingcheng didn't choose from the various types of tea. Instead, he took a different approach and pointed to the tea menu, asking, "What does this picture mean?"
