Chapter 318 - Elegant Room Beautiful Lady Fine Tea

Lin Yuehua, although she had asked Ye Fan to follow her upstairs, remained utterly silent along the way, her face cold as she focused on walking.

Ye Fan walked alongside her, seeing that Lin Yuehua kept her lips sealed, he was in no rush, serenely accompanying her while scanning the interior of the martial arts school.

The Gu Lan martial arts school’s layout was quite different from that of ordinary schools; aside from a large practice hall on the second floor, the rest were individual practice rooms, each separated from the others.

Moreover, there were few modern martial arts training aids within the school.

Following Lin Yuehua up to the fourth floor, they then turned left and walked about ten meters before they arrived at a practice room.

Above the door was a red “Ning” character, written in cursive script.

Lin Yuehua opened the door, and Ye Fan immediately saw, not far from the entrance, a brocade screen with a black “Ning” character vigorously painted in the style of dragons and phoenixes dancing.

“Please come in,” Lin Yuehua said indifferently and then stepped into the practice room.

She changed into a pair of clean canvas-bottomed shoes to the right of the screen, and finally went behind the screen.

Ye Fan gave a faint smile and also stepped into the practice room.

Upon entering, he was immediately greeted by a pleasant, faint fragrance.

After changing shoes on the right side of the screen, Ye Fan walked past and saw that beyond it was an open space, completely unadorned, with pale yellow wood floors, scrubbed spotless.

However, Lin Yuehua’s slender figure was nowhere in sight.

Ye Fan glanced around and saw another door to the right of the practice room, leading to an elegant chamber.

Guessing that Lin Yuehua was in the chamber, Ye Fan walked in and the scene changed dramatically, revealing an elegant lounge with a feminine touch.

There, Lin Yuehua was already kneeling on a beige cushion before a tea table, gracefully preparing tea.

With a smile, Ye Fan made his way over and sat down across the small tea table from Lin Yuehua, also kneeling on a beige cushion in a posture reminiscent of ancient times.

Turning his head to take in the chamber, Ye Fan then looked straight at Lin Yuehua’s breathtakingly beautiful face and asked with a smile, “This practice room must be your usual training place, right?

It’s very nicely arranged.

As soon as one enters, it brings a sense of tranquility to the mind.

Plus, the retro decor instantly gives one a feeling of sophistication.”

Lin Yuehua lifted her eyelids to look at Ye Fan but didn’t pick up the conversation.

Nonetheless, Ye Fan noticed that Lin Yuehua’s expression had softened quite a bit.

Seeing Lin Yuehua still unwilling to speak, Ye Fan didn’t pursue further conversation, simply smiling and admiring the elegant and classical beauty of her tea-making process, which was quite picturesque.

After a while, the fragrant aroma wafted over, signaling that the tea was ready.

Lin Yuehua poured a cup for Ye Fan, then set the teapot down without serving herself.

“Try some,” Lin Yuehua said quietly.

Ye Fan nodded, lifted the teacup, and took a sip.

He immediately noted the sweet, rich flavor and felt a delightful sense of contentment.

“Excellent tea,” he couldn’t help but praise.

“The taste is different from any tea on the market.

What kind of tea is it?”

Lin Yuehua picked up the teapot and continued to pour another cup for Ye Fan, then finally poured one for herself.

Holding the cup, she took a small sip, placed the cup down, and then looked directly at Ye Fan before speaking, “This is a nameless tea, one that we’ve purchased directly from tea farmers; freshly plucked young tea leaves that have not been processed, then specially fermented and finally dried under the pure sun.

If it must have a name, let’s call it Ancient Nether Tea.”

“It’s homemade?” Ye Fan said, slightly surprised.

“I like this tea, can you give me some?”

“No,” Lin Yuehua replied.

Ye Fan felt a twinge of regret.

Lin Yuehua continued, “One hundred thousand yuan per tael.

You’ve already become a VIP member for free, so we can’t let you have it all for nothing.”

“Hehe, no problem.

Give me half a kilo,” Ye Fan said with a light smile, “but I want to keep it here and brew it every time I come to the martial arts gym.”

Lin Yuehua’s pretty face flushed slightly.

This place was not only her private training room but also her main resting area.

She often hung a long piece of brocade tapestry here to sleep on her side, which pretty much made it equivalent to her boudoir.

“As a VIP member, the gym will provide you with a dedicated training room.

There’s no need for you to come here to brew tea every time,” she said softly.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh, “That won’t do.

The classical elegance of this place is soothing to both body and mind.

To drink tea here and enjoy the company of a beauty like you, who seems to have stepped right out of an ancient painting, is one of life’s greatest pleasures.”

Hearing Ye Fan call her a beauty from an ancient painting, Lin Yuehua’s stunning face turned crimson, and she lowered her head slightly, lightly biting her tender pink lower lip with her pearly white teeth.

After Ye Fan finished speaking, she lifted her pretty face, her almond-shaped eyes wide with a trace of annoyance, “Ye Fan, you scoundrel, if you talk nonsense again, I…”

“Hehe, don’t be angry.

I just couldn’t help but praise you.

How does that make me a scoundrel?” Ye Fan interjected with a laugh.

“But your frivolity is highly improper.

If you’re not a scoundrel, then what are you?” Lin Yuehua retorted.

“I am a gentleman,” Ye Fan laughed, “The Book of Songs says: ‘Fair, graceful lady, a gentleman’s fitting match.’ You are the fair and graceful lady, and I am the gentleman well-suited to you.”

Lin Yuehua’s face turned as red as if it would bleed, “You…

if you continue spouting nonsense…”

“Yuehua, you’re truly beautiful,” Ye Fan said directly.

Lin Yuehua suddenly felt a mix of shame and anger along with secret delight and embarrassment, and she quickly stood up, about to leave with a flick of her sleeves.

Ye Fan hurriedly reached out to grab Lin Yuehua, seizing her tender and soft little hand, “Don’t go.

I’ll stop if you want me to.”

Ye Fan felt that both times Lin Yuehua left in anger, it was mainly because he hadn’t been able to communicate with her directly, which is why he took hold of her hand.

Her jade-like hand in his grip, Lin Yuehua felt a current running through her entire body, sapping all her strength and leaving her weak.

She wanted to shake off Ye Fan’s hand right away, but found herself unable to do so, letting him hold her delicate hand.

“Yuehua, please don’t walk away every time you’re angry, okay?

That will only keep adding to the misunderstandings between us, and our friendship will be hindered,” Ye Fan persuaded gently.

With embarrassment and anger intertwined, Lin Yuehua wanted to rebuke Ye Fan forcefully to let go, but what came out was a soft voice, “Let go of me…”

“I won’t.

As soon as I let go, you’ll walk away, and our misunderstandings will grow even larger,” Ye Fan shook his head.

Lin Yuehua bit her tender red lip and said with a sense of humiliation, “Fine, I won’t leave.”

“Good, I’ll let go.

I trust that you won’t deceive me,” Ye Fan smiled and released Lin Yuehua’s delicate hand.

As Ye Fan let go, Lin Yuehua sighed in relief, her strength quickly returning, but a vague sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Sitting back down on the cushion, she presented an icy facade and turned her pretty face away, refusing to look at Ye Fan.
