Lin Qingqing had never chatted with Lin Jiuqing so calmly before. Now sitting down and talking like this made Lin Qingqing feel relaxed.

It was like meeting old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Although the words were not very nice, I felt very relaxed.

After a cup of tea, the two had almost finished chatting. Lin Qingqing stood up and prepared to leave. As she stood up, she glanced down and saw someone coming in from the door. She sat back down silently and reached out to put on her veil.

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and looked down along her line of sight, and saw a young man in cloth clothes coming in from outside with a basket of wild fruits. He stood in front of the counter and was asking the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Lin Jiuqing didn't hear what he asked, but after a while the shopkeeper came running upstairs and whispered to Lin Qingqing, "Boss, Master Liu is here and wants to see you."

Lin Qingqing: "Say I'm not here."

The shopkeeper raised his hand and touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "I let it slip that you were talking to friends upstairs..."

Lin Qingqing's eyes moved, and her gaze fell on Mr. Liu. After looking at him for a moment, she said, "Just tell him I don't have time to see him and let him go back."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything more and turned around and went downstairs.

The shopkeeper probably conveyed Lin Qingqing's meaning truthfully. After hearing it, Mr. Liu looked disappointed. He glanced upstairs, then picked up the basket in his hand and sat down in the corner.

The cloth he wore was totally out of place here and attracted many people's attention, but he sat with his back straight and his eyes calm.

Lin Qingqing frowned, as if she had not expected the other party to sit there and wait.

Lin Jiuqing propped up his chin and looked for a while, then asked with a smile: "Suitor?"

Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes at her and said nothing.

Lin Jiuqing couldn't help but gossip, and continued to ask: "With your status, how could you know such a person?"

It was obvious that this Mr. Liu came from a poor family. The clothes he wore from head to toe were not as valuable as the handkerchief in Lin Qingqing's hand. Even when he came to see the person he admired, he only brought some wild fruits picked from the mountains. Lin Qingqing only drank tribute tea, not to mention food.

Lin Qingqing seemed to have not expected that Lin Qingqing would continue to ask questions, and said unhappily: "That day I saw him lying on the side of the road, almost dying of hunger, so I gave him some food and money, and considered it a good deed."

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Just because of this, he's obsessed with you?"

Lin Qingqing raised her hand and rubbed her brow, saying helplessly, "He's a student taking the exam this year. Although he's poor, he's incredibly talented. I was so moved by his talent that I arranged a place for him to live. I also promised to pay for his food, clothing, housing, and writing brushes, ink, and paper before the exam. He'll pay me back when he becomes successful in the future."

"Since then, he has often sent things over."

Lin Jiuqing understood. It turned out that this Mr. Liu had some achievements. To be praised by Lin Qingqing as a talented person, he must have some real talent.

Lin Jiuqing stared at Mr. Liu for a while, and suddenly said, "He has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary demeanor. He is not an ordinary person."

Lin Qingqing glanced at Lin Jiuqing, then at Mr. Liu, thinking to herself: If I can get Lin Jiuqing's favor, my future career will surely be smooth.

While he was deep in thought, there was a sudden disturbance in the lobby below.

The young man in brocade clothes walked over to Mr. Liu and stood beside him. He glanced up and down with a look of disdain: "This teahouse is not for everyone!"
