Chapter Fifty: The Reappearance of Tea Ceremony
Tears welled up in Xu Rou's eyes as she looked at Li Yan with slight fear, as if Li Yan had deliberately hurt her.
"Miss Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." She gently bit her lip, her voice tinged with grievance.
Although Xu Rou was apologizing, her expression was deliberately meant to mislead people.
"Xu Rou! How did you get hurt again?"
A man's tense voice came through.
His eyes were fixed on Xu Rou's wounds, and he brushed past Li Yan without even glancing at her.
Xu Rou spoke softly, deliberately leaving the words unsaid to allow Gu Tingyan to imagine further: "I'm sorry, Ayan, it was my own carelessness..."
Li Yan calmly watched her son prepare to bandage Xu Rou, slowly gathering her emotions, and then exhaled a strong aroma of tea.
“Ah Yan, I’m not like Miss Xu Rou, who tells you as soon as I get hurt, making you feel sorry for me.”
Even if I'm injured, I don't want you to see it.
Even if I cook for you, I won't tell you how many times I cut myself.
I won't let your heartache affect your appetite.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyan immediately turned to look at Li Yan's hand.
As a result, she deliberately put her hands behind her back so that he couldn't see them.
She still had a knowing smile on her face that made him feel sorry for her.
Xu Rou stared in disbelief at Li Yan's tea ceremony performance, never expecting that this woman was actually a green tea!
Her competitive spirit was ignited; unwilling to be outdone, she looked at Gu Tingyan expectantly and said, "Ah Yan..."
Xu Rou had just begun to perform when Li Yan quickly interrupted her.
"Ah Yan, hurry up and take Miss Xu Rou to get her bandaged up. I still need to continue cooking dinner for you."
Li Yan used a feigned retreat to advance, raising her chin slightly towards Gu Tingyan and speaking in a well-behaved and understanding tone.
As she spoke, Li Yan even made way for them, her sensible demeanor touching everyone's heart.
Gu Tingyan was caught in a dilemma: the woman he deeply loved and his beloved mother.
What should he choose?
Even though his mother had already made the choice for him, he was unwilling to make a move.
"Ah Yan, it's too late, I need to continue cooking, you guys can go out."
Li Yan chased them out again, then, leaning against the wall, hopped and skipped to the kitchen counter.
Gu Tingyan raised his eyes, which were filled with tears of emotion, and still chose to walk towards Li Yan immediately, reaching out to grasp his mother's slender wrist.
His gaze swept over the knife marks on his mother's hands, and a look of heartache appeared on his face.
"It's just a minor injury, I'm fine."
Li Yan tried to pull her hand back, saying indifferently.
But her son held her back tightly, and she could only watch as Gu Tingyan tore off the bandage on his hand and carefully treated her wound.
Xu Rou lost to Li Yan again, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She was just about to go back to her room when Li Yan called out to her, "Miss Xu Rou, my soup will be ready in a few minutes. Would you like to have dinner with us?"
Xu Rou paused, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and gently declined, "No, I don't have much of an appetite today, I want to go back to my room to rest."
"You still have to eat even if you don't have a good appetite." Gu Tingyan frowned slightly, his tone slightly dissatisfied.
Xu Rou noticed that Gu Tingyan's attitude towards her was subtly changing, but she was helpless to do anything about it.
Her voice was filled with grievance.
"I can't eat."
Xu Rou went straight upstairs, but she still had a faint hope that Gu Tingyan would catch up and stop her.
As a result, she secretly peeked around the corner at the bottom of the stairs.
Gu Tingyan was all smiles as he drank the soup that Li Yan was feeding him.
