Chapter 58: Qian Renxue is His Girlfriend? Xue Di Makes Tea—One Word: Fragrant!

Xue Tianyu was stunned.

Girlfriend?

Where would he have a girlfriend from?

Why didn't he know about it himself?

Seeing his dazed expression, Xue Di also looked puzzled.

"That Qian Renxue from last night... she's really not your girlfriend?" Xue Di had always assumed he was just too shy to admit it and that was why he arranged a separate room for her.

"She really isn't."

Xue Tianyu gave a helpless smile. "She's just a very close... friend of mine."

"You see her as a friend, but that doesn't mean she sees you the same way." Upon hearing his straightforward answer, Xue Di oddly felt much more at ease.

"It's fine." Xue Tianyu smiled lightly.

"As long as I make things clear with her." Xue Di recalled the way that girl looked last night and felt Xue Tianyu should take responsibility and sort things out.

"I know." Xue Tianyu had already planned to talk things out with Qian Renxue.

It just wasn't the right time yet.

"Alright, I should get up then." Xue Di glanced at the sunlight outside the window, then gave Xue Tianyu a soft smile. "Want some tea? I've been practicing my tea-making skills recently."

"Sure." Xue Tianyu nodded with a smile.

Xue Di propped herself up, the motion making her jelly-like curves jiggle slightly as she reached out to stroke Xue Tianyu's cheek. "Then wait a moment, I'll go make some tea for you."

Watching her get out of bed and dress neatly, Xue Tianyu fell into thought.

He still needed to aim for first place in the tournament.

He wanted to personally crush that ungrateful white-eyed wolf from his memories—Hu Liena.

Oh right, and also Da Ming and Er Ming.

Those two hundred-thousand-year soul rings—if he could take them, he would.

But all of that was for later.

Right now, Xue Di wanted to show off her newly learned tea-brewing skills, and naturally needed more people to enjoy it with.

So, Xue Tianyu brought both Bing Di and Qian Renxue back to his room.

On the way back, they happened to run into Shui Bing'er, who had just finished breakfast and was heading back to her room.

"Brother Tianyu, where are you all going?"

Shui Bing'er hurried over to strike up a conversation, her gaze locked onto Qian Renxue the whole time.

This unfamiliar woman suddenly appearing had given her a lot of pressure.

There were always pretty girls around Brother Tianyu.

"We're having some tea. Want to join us?" Xue Tianyu replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Shui Bing'er agreed without hesitation.

A group of them returned to Xue Tianyu's room.

As soon as she entered, Bing Di ran straight to Xue Di and hugged her from behind, messing around.

The two beauties playing around made for quite a captivating scene.

Xue Di and Bing Di were both peerless beauties of completely different styles.

One was the elegant and mature older-sister type, while the other was the cute and mischievous loli type.

But it had to be said—both of their faces were stunning.

Even Qian Renxue felt quite ordinary compared to the two of them.

"Hey, don't disturb my tea-making!" Xue Di's hand trembled as Bing Di messed with her.

Bing Di, full of playful mischief, continued to assault the mountainous terrain of Xue Di's body with a hint of jealousy.

The two of them were having a great time, leaving Qian Renxue—who had never spent time alone with them—completely dumbfounded.

"These Aunt Bing and Aunt Xue... really have young hearts," Shui Bing'er whispered, glancing at Xue Tianyu with a smile.

"They've always been like this." Xue Tianyu shrugged helplessly.

After a while of fooling around, Bing Di finally sat at the table on one leg, waiting for Xue Di's tea.

Just then, Qian Renxue looked at Xue Tianyu. "I'll be heading back in a bit."

"Alright." Xue Tianyu nodded. He had seen the deep exhaustion in her eyes last night.

Now that she'd gotten a good night's rest, at least that look was gone.

She probably hadn't had it easy last night either.

Xue Tianyu patted her hand. "If you ever want to come, my place is always open to you. No matter what happens in the future, I'll always be behind you."

He knew that sooner or later, he had to take back the Spirit Hall and let his sister, Qian Renxue, finally rest.

"Mm..."

Qian Renxue nodded, her pretty face slightly flushed.

If possible, she truly hoped she could always stay by Xue Tianyu's side.

Being near him gave her a kind of warmth she couldn't explain.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er secretly glanced at Qian Renxue, biting her lip lightly.

She deeply admired Xue Tianyu—especially after hearing about last night.

In the future, there would definitely be more and more girls around him. She needed to find a chance to stand out herself.

Just then, Xue Di arrived with the tea.

"Come on, try my tea-making skills!"

Xue Di confidently announced, "It's definitely delicious."

To show support, Bing Di was the first to pick up her cup and drink.

"How is it?"

Xue Di looked at Bing Di with anticipation.

"Mm..."

Bing Di's face turned awkward.

The tea sat in her mouth like it burned, and she quickly gulped it down with a slurp.

It tasted horrible.

She cursed it harshly in her mind.

"What are you all waiting for? Try it too!"

Of course, she didn't answer Xue Di's question directly—she wanted someone else to say it first.

Qian Renxue, curious about Bing Di's reaction, followed suit and drank it all in one go.

Immediately, her face turned into a bitter gourd.

"Cough cough..."

Qian Renxue coughed awkwardly and looked toward Xue Tianyu.

'This tea is awful!'

'So bitter and astringent!'

But since it was her first time meeting Bing Di and Xue Di, she couldn't say that to their faces.

So she decided to let Xue Tianyu take the role of the honest one.

Unaware, Xue Tianyu picked up his cup and took a small sip.

Qian Renxue and Bing Di both stared at him intently, hoping he'd say the words they didn't dare to.

But Xue Tianyu simply closed his eyes in enjoyment, then softly said,

"Tastes great."

Tastes great?

Bing Di looked suspiciously at her own cup.

'Did my taste buds fail me?'

She picked up the cup again, imitating Xue Tianyu's sipping style.

"Cough cough..."

Nope, it was exactly the same taste!

Bitter, astringent, and woody—it scratched her throat!

There was absolutely no way this could be associated with the word "great"!

Bing Di stared at Xue Tianyu with a face that screamed, 'Are you okay?'

But Xue Tianyu calmly took another sip and even gave Xue Di a thumbs-up.

"Aunt Xue's tea is really good."

Not only Bing Di, even Qian Renxue stared at Xue Tianyu's cup in disbelief.

'Did he switch teas halfway?'

Like Bing Di, Qian Renxue tested her own tea again—still that same unbearable bitterness, without a hint of fragrance.

Unwilling to believe it, she directly picked up Xue Tianyu's cup and took a sip.

"Mm..."

Qian Renxue immediately wore a look of agony.

It was exactly the same tea!

And yet this man could still say it tasted great?

Was he out of his mind?

Next, Bing Di and Qian Renxue both turned their gazes toward Shui Bing'er, who hadn't taken a sip yet.

Even Xue Tianyu and Xue Di looked over.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Shui Bing'er instantly got nervous.

'Wasn't this just a tea-tasting? Why does it feel like some kind of mystery drama now?'

Under their watchful eyes, Shui Bing'er cautiously lifted her cup and took a tiny sip.

"How does it taste?" Bing Di quickly asked. She needed to confirm it wasn't her taste buds that were broken.

"Just say your most honest thoughts. No need to hold back for anyone," Qian Renxue added.
