This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

After waiting a moment and noticing that Su Yu hadn't taken it yet, Li Cangyao explained.

"Qingyi, this is simply a gift I wanted to give you. I hope you won't overthink it and will just accept it."

Su Yu squeezed the Xuan Yin Jade and said:

“Li Cangyao, you shouldn’t like me. You should understand that I only approached you because I wanted to get my treasure back, because you stole it from me.”

"I never had any romantic feelings for you; I just wanted to be your friend."

"do you understand?"

"There's no future in you liking me. As the prince of the Eternal God Kingdom in the Upper Realm, what woman can't you live without? I hope you can think this through."

Su Yu felt she shouldn't be trying to hook up with Li Cangyao.

He confessed his feelings, he changed a bit, but I still have to reject him.

After all, the items have already been retrieved.

Su Yu is currently caught in the vortex of his junior brother and fiancé; if there were another one, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.

He might try desperately to salvage the situation, but no matter how clever his methods, there will always be consequences, and some things always come at a price.

He's afraid things will go wrong!

Furthermore, once he learned of Li Cangyao's identity, he had to reconsider the concept of destiny.

Therefore, he did not want Li Cangyao to get involved again, which was also for his own good.

Upon seeing this, Li Cangyao chuckled softly.

"I know you don't like me, but that doesn't stop me from liking you and wanting to pursue you."

"I can never forget what I've been through."

"I will definitely not give up."

"you......"

Looking at the unwavering Li Cangyao, Su Yu felt a real headache coming on.

"Whatever you want, I've already made myself very clear."

Li Cangyao's return of Baoyu was clearly serious, given his straightforward nature.

What a waste of the brain cells he wasted yesterday.

He has now been promoted from the harem to the empress, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The previous strategy guides seemed to have gone a bit too far.

"......"

Forget it, it's already come to this point, who cares who's right or wrong.

Li Cangyao smiled knowingly when Qingyi stopped arguing; she had clearly tacitly agreed to the matter.

"Would you like to accept this Azure Phoenix?"

“No,” Su Yu refused.

He did want the Imperial Weapon, but now it was more like a token of love, a hot potato that he naturally couldn't accept.

"It's fine if you don't accept it."

Li Cangyao didn't insist any further. After all, in his opinion, this imperial weapon was too low-grade. He would get Qingyi a better immortal weapon later.

After putting away the Azure Phoenix, he suddenly asked again:

"By the way, Qingyi, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"what is the problem?"

Li Cangyao pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who gave you that white crane back then?"

"I'd love to know the answer."

It seems he's been holding a grudge all along...

Su Yu sighed softly and said, "The white crane was given to me by the first friend I met when I first entered the sect."

"First friend?"

"Yes, he is a senior student."

"Senior brother?" Li Cangyao's eyes darkened. "And what is your relationship with Qingyi?"

"I spent a long time with him back then, and I don't know what kind of relationship we had. Maybe we were just friends."

"So...do you like him?"

“He…he’s dead.” Su Yu’s expression darkened.

"Huh?" Li Cangyao's silver eyes widened in surprise.

"He died saving me. I watched him fall right in front of me..." Su Yu suddenly choked up.

【….】

The system, which operates silently, simply doesn't understand.

Its host can lie without batting an eye, and even lies without batting an eye. When did it develop such a big heart?

"Qingyi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention it."

Seeing that Su Yu was feeling down, Li Cangyao immediately comforted her.

Su Yu calmed herself down and simply shook her head at him. "It's nothing, it happened a long time ago, I'm used to it now."

Li Cangyao sighed softly. No wonder, no wonder when he pressed her for answers, Qingyi instantly lost interest in continuing and even became slightly sad in the end.

So this is the significance of the white crane.

But now that he knows the answer, he no longer needs to delve into anything further, since the other person is no longer there.

He felt extremely fortunate at that moment.

Qingyi is still innocent, and he still has a chance.

In an instant, he felt calm and his mood improved.

"By the way, you're going into seclusion tomorrow?"

"Yeah, that's right, so what?"

"Please sit here first, I'll go make you a pot of tea."

"Ah? Qingyi, you're going to make tea for me??" Li Cangyao's eyes lit up.

Su Yu nodded slightly, "After all, I've been staying here for so long, so it's only right that I brew you a pot of tea."

"You wait here, don't wander off."

After saying that, Su Yu hurriedly left.

Although Li Cangyao sat calmly in the chair, his mind was already soaring to the heavens.

What? Qingyi is actually going to make tea for him?

She actually wanted to make tea for me?!

She's so virtuous! He absolutely must take Qingyi back to be his queen!

At that moment, he didn't know why, but his heart felt as sweet as if it had been coated with honey, and a sense of happiness flowed through his entire body.

At the same time, my inner thoughts became more and more firm.

Finally, he endured the torment for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The white-clad fairy presented him with a cup of bright green teaware that emitted a pungent odor, and placed it on the table.

"........"

Li Cangyao stared at the cup of green tea, clearly taken aback.

"Qing, Qingyi, is this the tea you brewed...?"

Su Yu nodded. "That's right, this is something I carefully brewed for you. Drink it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it's cold."

He knew he might not see Li Cangyao again for a long time, and he naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

As for the previous period when he was in a tug-of-war with Li Cangyao, he naturally could not invest.

Now he has mixed in all of these, including the Snowfall Treasure, the Azure Origin Pill, and the Myriad Spirit Pill.

We don't know if there's any toxicity after the chemical reaction.

Anyway, Li Cangyao's cultivation level is such that he won't die from drinking.

Li Cangyao picked up the teacup and examined it carefully. He initially found it difficult to swallow, but seeing Su Yu's expectant gaze, he finally drank it down in one gulp.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful!]

[Investment Resources: Snowflake Treasure Sulfur, Azure Essence Pill, Myriad Spirit Pill, Purple Lotus; Investment Target: Li Cangyao (Red Destiny); Investment Method: Drinking Tea; Rewards are currently being distributed...]

Two Imperial-rank professions?

"........"

Maybe I'll need it someday.

Su Yu snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Li Cangyao. "How is it? The tea is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Ahem... Absolutely."
