Chapter 344: Chapter 342 Do you know how?_1

Under a clear blue sky, without a cloud in sight...

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but marvel at how the beauty of nature truly had the power to refresh the soul.

Continuous mountains surrounded the land, and on the way up the mountain, the sounds of birds chirping could be heard from time to time.

Along this winding mountain path, villagers continued to trek upwards with baskets on their backs.

Upon reaching the destination, the tea bushes were bustling with people; the usually serene mountaintop was now a completely different scene.

The villagers were picking tea while chatting about day-to-day life and joking with each other. A few older women occasionally shared a risqué joke or two, eliciting roaring laughter from halfway up the mountain.

From the opposite mountain, people who heard the laughter would shout back, adding a few phrases to keep the fun going.

The hearty, cheerful laughter, mixed with the intermittent sounds of tea picking, filled the quiet valley with a chorus of joy and mirth.

Su Wanxia was stunned by the scene before her; she had never personally experienced such pure and simple happiness. This place truly was a paradise on earth.

"Hurry up~~ everyone has already started..." Na Wa complained.

Filled with curiosity, Su Wanxia tugged at Mu Yingchen, "Come on, let’s go, I can’t wait any longer." She had never picked tea before.

The deeper they went into the tea bushes, the stronger the fragrance became. Su Wanxia took a deep breath, "What a lovely scent..."

"Do you know how?" Mu Yingchen asked with a smile in his eyes as he watched her outstretched hand.

Su Wanxia turned to look at him, "Although I’ve never picked tea before, I do know which ones to pick. Do you know how?"

She looked at Mu Yingchen with great skepticism. A young master like him, picking tea? Maybe drinking tea was more like it?

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but chuckle at her doubtful gaze. He leaned slightly forward, found the tenderest green shoots at the very tip of a tea bush, gently plucked them, and then sniffed them by his nose before smiling at her, "Indeed, it’s very fragrant..."

Su Wanxia pursed her lips, "Alright, alright, with your intelligence, even if you hadn’t picked tea before, you could easily learn by watching others do it. Copying like drawing a gourd from a model---who can’t do that? I can do it too..."

She too bent down and, after searching around on the tea tree for quite a while, picked the tenderest one she could find and compared it to the leaves in Mu Yingchen’s hand, "Mine is more tender than yours..."

Mu Yingchen shook his head with a smile--

"Hurry up... or everyone else will have finished picking and gone home," Na Wa shouted to them from a distance.

Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen looked back at Na Wa and Na Ersi to see that their baskets were already brimming with green tea leaves. Su Wanxia glanced at the empty basket in front of Mu Yingchen, which held nothing but the tea buds they each had in their hands.

She gave Na Wa an awkward laugh, then bent her head and started picking earnestly.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Wanxia’s forehead as she wasn’t used to such strenuous activity and was inevitably feeling a bit fatigued.

Mu Yingchen also had sweat on his forehead. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Su Wanxia’s forehead, saying with concern, "If you’re tired, take a break."

Su Wanxia looked up at him with a cheerful grin, "Not tired at all. Picking tea is so interesting; it’s just that the sun is a bit strong."

Mu Yingchen, seeing her reddened fingertips, insisted, "Why don’t we rest for a while..."

"No need, we’ll be heading back soon. Are you tired?"

Mu Yingchen shook his head; he couldn’t possibly be tired. His stamina was much better than hers.

Na Ersi and Na Wa started from that end, while Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen began from this end. By the time the four of them met, this long row of tea trees had finally been picked clean.

For convenience, Su Wanxia had hung the bamboo basket around herself early on, and Na Wa did the same. Glancing at the tea leaves in Su Wanxia’s basket, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "I didn’t expect you to actually pick a decent amount..."

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "Na Wa, although sis hasn’t picked tea before, it’s really no big deal..."

"Oh really? Do you know how to fry it?" Na Wa looked at her smugly.

Su Wanxia’s confidence waned this time. Frying the stuff was definitely not something she knew how to do, not even if she tried to mimic someone else.

"I’ll... go back and fry it for you to see..." Mu Yingchen suddenly said to Su Wanxia from the side.

His words surprised everyone.

"You know how?" The three of them asked in unison.

Su Wanxia was even more astonished. She had never heard that he knew how to fry tea leaves. Could it be that along with amnesia, one also automatically gains new skills?

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Mu Yingchen smiled gently, "Let’s go see how others do it first, a single look is all it takes to learn..."

Su Wanxia broke out into a sweat instantly, deciding to pretend as if he had said nothing.

After leaving the tea tree grove, Mu Yingchen took Su Wanxia’s basket and hung it on himself, which warmed her heart...

Seeing this scene, Na Ersi also hung Na Wa’s on himself. Na Wa huffed at Su Wanxia and then skipped ahead.

Su Wanxia raised an eyebrow, why was this young girl always picking on her?

Little did she know the complexities in Na Wa’s heart. She actually quite liked Su Wanxia, but whenever she saw how well Mu Yingchen treated her, she couldn’t help feeling envious.

She was too naive and couldn’t hide her own thoughts; whatever she was thinking immediately showed on her face.

"Na Ersi... when do you plan to confess to her?" Su Wanxia wore a gossip-hungry expression.

Hearing her question, Na Ersi just shook his head with a chuckle, "The time isn’t right yet..."

"Not yet? When then? You should hurry up, or what if she takes a fancy to someone else?" Su Wanxia concluded that Na Wa was just a simple, infatuated type who rushes to get close to anyone good-looking, wanting to claim them for herself and keep them under her watch all the time.

"She’s still young..." Na Ersi repeated his stance.

Su Wanxia giggled, "I actually think you’re pretty handsome. How come she can’t see that? Or has she already got used to having you around all the time?"

Na Ersi blushed a little at Su Wanxia’s direct compliment, unaccustomed to being praised so openly.

Meanwhile, Su Wanxia felt a chill run down her back as if a cold breeze just blew by. When she turned around, apart from Mu Yingchen’s expressionless face, there was nothing.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she had just sensed something incorrectly. Yes, that had to be it.

"Let’s go..."

Mu Yingchen didn’t wait for Su Wanxia to continue chatting with Na Ersi, instead, he took a couple of steps forward, grabbed her hand, and walked forward.

"Hey? Hey? Slow down a bit..." Su Wanxia, caught off-guard, almost bumped her head on the bamboo basket on Mu Yingchen’s back.

Na Ersi watched Mu Yingchen’s expressions and actions, then touched his chin in thought. After a while, he looked at the two holding hands in front of him and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly...
