On this side, Jian Anning didn't want to interrupt them either. Although she understood music, she hadn't engaged with it for many years, so she shouldn't disturb their work. Every hour, she came in to deliver water, and thus, she simply sat beside Situ Xuan.
On this side, Situ Xuan naturally said—he wanted tea! As for why he wanted tea? It was because only with tea could she stay nearby for a while, preparing tea to drink. Making tea requires boiling water, washing cups, plates, bowls, and saucers, and finally waiting for the tea to cool before drinking. Wouldn't that mean she needed to stay around watching all the while?
Jian Anning wasn't particularly skilled at making tea, but since her grandparents loved drinking black tea at home, they would have her join in and lend a hand. Although she wasn't very proficient in tea-making, she could still manage it.
