Snowy gave her water to Zhang Zian on their way up. She didn’t drink any water herself so she was rather thirsty by now. She drank one third of the tea in the cup.

She lightly pressed her lips and said bashfully, “Please excuse my poor vocabulary… it was great tea… it wasn’t bitter at all but aromatic and sweet.”

There were some dry fruits and desserts in the tray. She picked up a pumpkin cake, put it in her mouth and praised immediately, “This is yummy!” Apparently, she was much more interested in the desserts than the tea.

Zhang Zian had a drink of plain water, and said loudly, “This tastes good!”

Everyone was shocked!

He held up the cup to eye level, staring at the water and sighed, “Fiji water it is! As soon as this water gets in my mouth, my taste buds are dancing in the Pacific Ocean!”

He took another sip and said, “Oh! This sip has the bitterness from the calcium, the sweetness from the magnesium and the smoothness from the silicon. The taste exploded in my throat. I felt like I saw the whales dancing, seagulls flying and hot girls walking towards me in their hula skirts on the beach…”

His eyes were wide-open, “The water glided down my esophagus and entered my stomach. As my whole body was rinsed from inside out with that water, I turned into a pure, noble and moral person – this water had to come from heaven!”

The female owner and the waitress looked at each other and didn’t know how to respond. Snowy stared at her cup suspiciously thinking her taste buds died…The viewers in the broadcast room went crazy!

“What the f*ck? A glass of plain water made you a food critic!”

“Whoever beats him up will get 10 thousand Yuan from me!”

“A moral person? Your whole body and soul shows inferiority!”

The owner forced a smile, “Sir, your praise embarrasses me…”

Seeing Zhang Zian still standing with the glass in his hand, Snowy kindly invited him, “Mr. Manager, come try some desserts and snacks.”

The viewers all objected to Snowy’s nice gesture. The desserts and dry fruits were too nice for Mr. Manager.

They thought that Zhang Zian was going to thicken up his skin and sit down to eat with Snowy. However, he waved his hands and said, “Have a good day.” Surprisingly, he then sat down at a table behind her.

In fact, Zhang Zian wanted to block the owner and waitress’s attention with Snowy sitting there. He needed some space to think and observe.

He already noticed that the benevolent and righteous cat tilted her head at the waitress as she walked by her with the tea in her hands.

The owner made a second brew and had the waitress send it to Snowy. It was clearer this time. The benevolent and righteous cat loved the smell of tea. Although her face was under the bamboo hat, Zhang Zian could feel her eyes following the waitress as she walked by.

He guessed that the cat liked tea so she came to this teahouse.

Here to, he waved at the waitress, “Excuse me, I would like to order.”

The waitress pulled a long face and walked to him reluctantly, “Sir, what do you want this time? It was our fault for not listing a price for plain water, but we can’t offer that for free again”

The female owner was upset, “Anxin, the gentleman is our customer. How could you treat a customer like that?”

Anxin was wearing a waitress uniform. She looked to be 17 or 18 years old. Zhang Zian wasn’t mad at her because she was still young. Honestly, he felt that he didn’t really treat his customers that well anyways.

“I’d like a top graded Tie Guan Yin,” he replied.

“1888 Yuan. You have to pay now,” she said perfunctorily.

He transferred immediately.

The viewers overheard Zhang Zian.

“Oh no! what makes Mr. Scrooge open up his wallet? He must’ve faked being stingy before.”

“Ms. Waitress, you’d better double check his transfer in case it was fake. I heard that was a popular fraud these days.”

The waitress seriously double checked a few times and then yelled to the back, “One top graded Tie Guan Yin.”

The female owner responded, “No problem.”

She pulled out another similar tea set to that of Snowy’s and started making tea using the same method.

She threw away the first brew and started serving from the second brew.

A cup of amber color tea was served to Zhang Zian. The waitress went back to prepare for the next brew.

The teahouse was filled with aroma from different tea being brewed. At this time, the strongest smell came from Zhang Zian’s tea cup. The hot steam slowly distributed the refreshing smell of his tea.

The hat of the benevolent and righteous cat slightly moved. The movement really took attention to see and could be easily ignored.

The aroma from tea must’ve brought her here. However, she had not had a chance to try the tea because robbing or stealing simply wasn’t her style.

How to attract her to drink his tea?

Such a pride cat would not like free food. He could not force her to come either.

Zhang Zian raised his head and said, “one more top graded Tie Guan Yin.”

“Sir, are you sure?” the female owner was shocked. Although she was very confident at her brewing skills, it was the first time a customer ordered two pots of Tie Guan Yin.

“Of course. Come get the money,” he walked to the waitress and again transferred 1888 Yuan.

“You didn’t even finish your second brew,” the waitress reminded him.

“That’s fine. I am waiting for a friend,” he replied.

His weird actions made the viewers curious. However, he was sitting behind Snowy so the viewers could only hear his voice but not see him.

Shortly, the owners made her third pot of top graded Tie Guan Yin of the day. The waitress sent over the third brew of the second pot and the second brew of the third pot. Since the tea set was different, he could easily tell.

“Put this cup across from me please,” he pointed at the second brew of the third pot.

Now, there were two cups of tea in front of him and one cup across from him.

Soon, there were three cups in front of him and three cups across from him.

“Got to drink this tea hot. It won’t taste good when it gets cold,” Zhang Zian seemed like he was talking to himself.

The waitress said to him after sending all the tea to his table, “Sir, both pots of your tea are on your table. Enjoy.”

After the waitress left, Zhang Zian said to the bamboo hat, “there are so many people in this world. Fate brings people together. Would you like to enjoy some tea with me?” His voice was extremely low and he was quite far from the cat. However, the cat should’ve heard him because cats are eight times more sensitive to hearing than humans.

Righteousness also meant to be casual and not limited by any form of social status. A simple word or a glass of wine could bring two very different people together as lifelong friends. It works the same as the chemistry between lovers.

From other people’s eyes, Zhang Zian looked like he was murmuring to his cell phone, or trying to take a selfie.

A few seconds later, from his cell phone monitor, he saw her stand up from the fireplace, lightly shake her body as if she was shaking off some dust from her vest, and then she slowly walked towards him one step at a time.
