The teahouse is named "Ting Song," located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by openness on three sides, with windows that offer a view of distant mountains like ink.
Kong Ran reserved a private room here, and when Liu Fushu and Bai Jiyun entered at dawn, the room was already filled with the fragrant aroma of tea.
Kong Ran sat in the main seat, his apricot-yellow short jacket particularly bright in the morning light, his cheeks slightly reddened by the steam rising from the teacup.
"Brother Bai, Brother Liu, please be seated," Kong Ran invited.
The relationship between the three had grown much deeper than at the beginning of the Feiyun Conference, and Kong Ran behaved more casually.
Liu Fushu and Bai Jiyun responded with smiles, taking their seats.
The trio enjoyed the tea while appreciating the view.
