She subconsciously headed towards the teahouse she went to every day.
No way, who let the storyteller in that teahouse get the exclusive authorization from Mr. Gou Xue.
If you want to listen to Mr. Gou Xue's books, you can only go to that teahouse.
As soon as he walked in, Bai Cha noticed that his usual seat had been occupied by someone.
It's him!
The person who saved me!
The man was dressed in white, holding his cheek with one hand. His eyes were not on Mr. Storyteller at all, but on the albizia tree outside the window.
There was a tureen in front of him. The lid was slightly tilted, and a trace of white mist came out of the tureen.
In front of it are a plate of mung bean cake and a plate of salted edamame.
Bai Cha glanced at the Albizia Julibrissin tree. It was the season when Albizia Julibrissin was blooming. When the wind blew, the pale pink Albizia Julibrissin trees floated down from the tree, carrying a hint of sweetness.
Bai Cha curled his lips, not understanding what was so interesting about this flower.
My own body is much more beautiful than this!
And after becoming sperm, she can also change colors freely.
Bloom whatever color flowers you want.
She sat on the man's right side and ordered to the waiter: "A cup of Mengding nectar."
Di Xuan tilted his head slightly: "Jasmine tea is more suitable for you."
Bai Cha frowned slightly.
Jasmine tea?
She hummed softly: "I don't like tea with floral scent, I just like Mengding nectar."
Di Xuan chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
After a while the tea came.
The hall was full of eyesight.
Bai Cha sat on the bench politely, looking quietly at the storyteller on the stage.
The storyteller was talking about the young lady who had eloped and was captured by the family. In despair and grief, she hit the bridge and committed suicide.
Countless people in the teahouse shed tears.
Bai Cha's fingers curled up slightly on his knees.
Not worth it, so not worth it!
What does it mean to sacrifice your life for someone who breaks the promise?
"Do you think it's not worth it for that lady?"
A man's voice came.
Bai Cha tilted his head slightly and asked without answering: "Do you think it's worth it?"
Di Xuan picked up the tea cup:
"Whether it's worth it or not, she naturally has a strong mind.
Moreover, the background of the story is a world with strict rules.
She eloped with someone and was caught in public, and her reputation was completely ruined.
Those who are well-matched are not willing to marry, and the only ones who can marry are widowers or people from the lower class.
Of course, this is still a better ending.
More are sinking ponds and pig cages...
The reputation of the entire family will be ruined, especially the female relatives.
If you are already married, you will not be able to hold your head high in your husband's family.
The reputation of those who are not yet married will also plummet.
For her and the entire family, suicide is the best outcome."
Bai Cha listened blankly. She had lived in the Su family and had seen the rules in a wealthy family that made people unable to breathe.
So she understands what men say.
Hold the edge of the tureen:
"So she shouldn't have eloped with the scholar from the beginning...
It was wrong from the beginning..."
Di Xuan turned his head and pushed the mung bean cake in front of Bai Cha:
"But from her personal standpoint, what's wrong with her?
She just wants to live for herself.
People are all selfish, aren’t they?”
"If the elopement is successful, she will be free.
But what about her family?
Where are her sisters?" Bai Cha tilted his head in confusion.
Di Xuan tapped her forehead with his finger:
"It's not her fault, nor her family's fault.
It’s that feudal and backward society.”
Bai Cha stared at Di Xuan blankly, his lips pressed together but still unable to utter a single word.
These remarks really shocked her.
Di Xuan looked at Bai Cha:
"A bird longs for the free sky, and flowers also long for the bright sunshine.
What's more, he is a living person.
Everyone has the right to pursue what they like."
Bai Cha tilted his head slightly and looked at Di Xuan.
Di Xuan shook his head slightly, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into Bai Cha's mouth:
"If you don't understand something, don't trouble your mind."
Bai Cha slowly ate the mung bean cake. After finishing the meal, she suddenly realized:
"Are you calling me stupid?"
She looked at Di Xuan in disbelief.
Di Xuan couldn't help but laughed. He raised his hand and rubbed Bai Cha's head:
"No, I was praising you for being cute!"
Bai Cha tilted his head and frowned slightly.
She always felt that the other person didn't seem to be praising her cuteness, but his eyes were surprisingly sincere.
She pursed her red lips tightly, lowered her head, pinched another piece of mung bean cake, put it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Di Xuan looked at this silly little camellia tree.
I just feel that I am indeed right. Xiao Shancha is more interesting in person than watching it through the screen.
Especially when he eats slowly like this, he looks more like a hamster than a plant-based spirit.
But thinking of the past she had gone through, Di Xuan's eyes flashed with distress.
While Bai Cha was eating, she suddenly felt that the surrounding area had become quiet. She raised her head and looked around in confusion.
He saw everyone in the lobby staring at him. For a moment, Bai Cha almost dropped the mung bean cake in his hand.
"You, why are you looking at me like this?
What’s on my face?”
She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Di Xuan with confusion on her face.
Di Xuan put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head slightly, and tried to suppress his laughter.
"Can you two consider the feelings of us singles?"
The elder brother who was sitting next to Bai Cha and was wiping his tears suddenly slapped his hand on the table.
"Being a bachelor is hard enough!
You can only satisfy your fantasy of love by listening to books!
You, you, you are simply too much!"
As he spoke, the eldest brother ran outside while wiping his tears, his posture was quite girlish.
This was the first time Bai Cha had seen such a scene. A mouthful of mung bean cake got stuck in his throat, and he immediately coughed violently.
Di Xuan raised his hand and put it on her back, and opened the tureen with the other hand at the same time, placing the warm tea in front of the white tea:
"Drink the water and it will go smoothly."
Bai Cha picked up the teacup, swallowed the mung bean cake with the tea, and was about to say thank you.
Suddenly I found that the eyes of the people around me seemed to be looking at me with resentment, like ghosts.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his tone was more light and emotionless!
"It's good to be good-looking. You can find someone you love just by listening to a story."
"Yeah, even if I choked, someone would give me tea."
"We are different. No one will care if we choke to death..."
"Yeah, no one cares about me, I don't have a partner, it's pitiful..."
…
Not caring about anything else, Bai Cha picked up Di Xuan and ran away.
She could still vaguely hear their voices as they left.
"Look, they are holding hands~"
"That's great! Unlike me, I can only hold my right hand with my left hand."
"When can someone hold my hand and run in the wind like this..."
…
After running a long distance from the teahouse, Bai Cha finally came back to his senses.
She glanced back in shock.
Di Xuan seemed to find it very interesting, and the smile on his face did not change.
Seeing that Bai Cha's hair was all messy, he reached out to help her straighten her messy long hair:
"Is it that scary?"
Bai Cha nodded subconsciously: "Don't you think they are like..."
"Like a ghost?" Di Xuan completed what she had left unfinished.
Bai Cha nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.
Di Xuan couldn't help but rubbed Bai Cha's head again, and instantly messed up Bai Cha's arranged hair again.
He coughed lowly to cover up his embarrassment: "Ahem, they don't mean any harm."
