"Thank you once more for your assistance. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask," Yang Qing said, offering his gratitude again as he got up, appearing ready to leave.
However, he paused midway, his gaze lingering on the teapot. Curiosity flickered in his eyes, shifting to reluctance, then to embarrassment, before finally settling into firm resolve.
Ren Shu, well aware of Yang Qing's habits, didn't even need to think to guess what was coming.
"It would be rude of me to leave while the pot is still full, not after you so graciously offered it," Yang Qing shamelessly declared as he sat back down and reached for the teapot. But his shamelessness didn't stop there. Instead of using the tea cup he had been offered earlier, he retrieved one of his own—and it didn't take a genius to figure out why. Size.
The "cup" he produced from his storage was closer to a wine jar or a tankard than a proper tea cup.
