Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 309 Bottom Line (19)

On the opening day, the weather was sunny and bright, and Zhou Yian happened to be on vacation. So he got up earlier than usual and carefully prepared breakfast for the two of them.

After everything was ready, he tiptoed to the bedside and gently woke up Ji Xiao who was still sleeping.

"Xiaoxiao, get up." Zhou Yian called softly.

"Hmm~ I'm so sleepy." Ji Xiao responded drowsily, turned over and continued to lie in bed.

"Let's go to bed early tonight, okay?" Zhou Yian coaxed her patiently.

"Hehe, who made me so sleepy?" Ji Xiao complained coquettishly.

"I, I, I, it's my fault. So as a punishment, I have to help you wash up." Zhou Yian quickly admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude.

"Then give me a hug." Ji Xiao stretched out her hands to Zhou Yian and asked coquettishly.

"Okay." Zhou Yian hugged Ji Xiao in his arms lovingly, and then they walked into the bathroom together.

After a short while, Zhou Yian skillfully helped Ji Xiao finish washing up.

Then, Zhou Yian carried Ji Xiao to the cloakroom. Looking at the closet full of beautiful clothes, he couldn't help but feel dazzled.

Finally, his eyes fell on a new Chinese-style suit, which was from the same series as Ji Xiao's cheongsam. Both the fabric and the pattern were exactly the same.

Moreover, both of their clothes were embroidered with delicate lotus flowers and covered with a thin layer of gauze on the outside, which gave people a feeling of elegance when worn.

"Just wear this one, it will definitely suit you." Zhou Yian picked up the clothes and said to Ji Xiao with a smile.

Ji Xiao nodded in agreement. So Zhou Yian handed it to Ji Xiao and then picked up his own set to change.

After Ji Xiao changed her clothes, she saw Zhou Yian had also changed his clothes. She couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes and a look of amazement.

We are used to seeing Zhou Yian wearing formal clothes on weekdays, but now he is wearing new Chinese-style clothes, showing a different style and charm.

Ji Xiao couldn't suppress her inner impulse. She reached out and gently touched the lotus embroidered by herself on Zhou Yian's shoulder. At the same time, she exclaimed in her heart: It fits so well, so handsome.

Then, she hugged Zhou Yian's waist tightly without hesitation, raised her head, smiled tenderly and playfully and said to him: "Yian, you look so handsome in this outfit! When we hold our wedding, why don't we choose a Chinese style, okay?"

Zhou Yian looked at Ji Xiao with a smile on his face and responded softly: "Well, Xiaoxiao is extra charming today. No, I should say that you are so beautiful every day, and today is even better." His eyes were full of tenderness and love for her.

Ji Xiao was filled with joy when she heard Zhou Yian's praise, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She held Zhou Yian's hand tightly and walked out of the room together.

Afterwards, the two of them ate the breakfast that Zhou Yian had carefully prepared and rested for a while.

Zhou Yian then drove Ji Xiao to the teahouse.

The teahouse was beautifully decorated with big red lanterns hanging high and the door was surrounded by beautiful flowers. Ji Xiao and Zhou Yian entered the teahouse to rest for a while, and then pulled down the red cloth on the doorplate together at the appointed time.

The opening time of the store was chosen by Ji Xiao herself. She did not publicize it in advance nor notify relatives and friends. Only the couple and the store staff were present. In addition, there were no noisy firecrackers and gongs and drums. Instead, there were melodious sounds of guzheng and pipa, which were played by part-time players hired by Ji Xiao.

As the red cloth slowly fell, the three powerful characters "Tingyu Pavilion" on the sign came into view. Ji Xiao and Zhou Yian smiled at each other, and the simple and solemn opening ceremony was completed.

Ji Xiao led Zhou Yian to the private room on the second floor. They sat side by side in front of the window, sipping the tea that Ji Xiao had brewed herself.

The sunlight outside the window fell softly on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze, outlining a dreamy, beautiful and warm picture.

Ji Xiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, took a sip of the fragrant tea in her hand, her eyes full of satisfaction and comfort, and said with a smile: "Sitting here, sipping the fragrant tea, it feels so comfortable."

Zhou Yian nodded in agreement. He stretched out his warm big hand, tightly held Ji Xiao's small hand, and responded softly: "Yes, the environment here is quiet and elegant, which makes people feel happy, and the scenery outside is also very beautiful and pleasant."

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew across my face, bringing with it a hint of elegant and fresh floral scent.

Ji Xiao slowly closed her eyes, immersed in this moment of tranquility and happiness, quietly feeling the gentle touch of the breeze through her hair and the fragrance of flowers in the air.

After a moment, Zhou Yian suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere and asked, "By the way, why is this teahouse named 'Tingyu Pavilion'? And why did you think of opening a teahouse?"

Ji Xiao opened his eyes and replied with a carefree smile on his face, "The reason why I chose this name is because you can listen to the sound of rain falling here.

In fact, I had come here accidentally before. It was raining outside, and I was hiding under the eaves, watching the rain pouring down from the eaves, and listening to the sound of rain hitting the leaves and flowers. In an instant, my irritability caused by the sudden rainstorm was cured.

So, when I came back, I decided to buy it. Originally, I didn’t know what to do with it, but when I was making dim sum last time, I suddenly had an idea that I might as well open a teahouse.

This not only provides a good place for young people to relax and enjoy their leisure time, but also avoids the houses being idle and abandoned.

More importantly, it can effectively use up the excess agricultural products at home. Why not do it if you can kill two birds with one stone?" She said it in a relaxed tone as if it was just a trivial matter (which it was).

"Indeed, nowadays many young people want to find a quiet place to rest when they are tired from work. And I just looked at the menu and found that the prices are reasonable and most young people can afford it; but many Chinese dim sum here require rice flour and glutinous rice flour. Do we have them at home?" Zhou Yian looked at Ji Xiao puzzledly and asked.

"Yes, apart from the rice, glutinous rice and wheat that we eat ourselves, the remaining crops are just enough for the store's consumption. The rest are seasonal vegetables." Ji Xiao replied with a smile.

"Then let's plant more in the future," Zhou Yian suggested, "or we can find other people in the village to cooperate and expand the scale of planting. This will not only ensure the supply of the store, but also increase income."

Ji Xiao shook her head and explained, "Not for the time being. In fact, only a small part of it is consumed here. Most of it has been shipped to the supermarket for sale. And I opened this store just to prevent this house from being abandoned and aging."
