Life after the National Day is tense and busy, the second semester of the second semester of graduate school has to open the topic, the professional course can not be pulled down, and there are several manuscripts waiting to be sent here in the weekly magazine, including a news release of Wanyuan Tea, which is actually an inconspicuous advertisement. Xu Licen asked Qin Xiaotian to polish the first draft after writing it, which was supposed to be published before the holiday, but for some reason it has not been released until now, she asked Xu Licen one day, and Xu Licen told her that it was Zheng Zheng who asked for it to be sent a few weeks later, saying that he would wait for his tea art workshop to be renovated before sending it for publicity. So, Qin Xiaotian didn't care too much, and waited for the leader to notify when it would be published before doing the final verification.

One afternoon, Qin Xiaotian was writing another interview with a well-known painter in the city, the phone rang, it was Zheng Zheng, Qin Xiaotian looked at the display and picked up the phone. Zheng Zheng greeted her very politely, telling her that she had already greeted their leaders, and that the draft would be published next week. Of course, this is not the most important thing, what puzzled Qin Xiaotian is that Zheng Zheng once again invited her to participate in the first tea art training class, saying that he invited a well-known teacher from Fujian who is proficient in tea ceremony and tea culture to teach, teach for 12 days, and can also participate in the practice of students, visit their tea mountains in other places, and understand the history, culture, production and processing technology of tea, quality identification, etc. After the first batch of trainees obtained the certificate, they can go to other places to carry out tea art training in the future, Zheng Zheng hopes that Qin Xiaotian will feel it, and thinks that it is not a bad thing for her to learn one more skill, of course Qin Xiaotian knows that this is not a bad thing, it is because this thing is so good, it makes her vaguely uneasy. Is there really a pie in the sky? You don't have to pay a penny to participate in social training, you can also visit other places, which is a bit contrary to common sense, and she is not familiar with Zheng Zheng! Qin Xiaotian was very puzzled, and he was hesitant on the phone, and he didn't dare to express his attitude. Zheng Zheng was very generous and said that he would give her a few days to think about it, but he still hoped that she could come and take this as an opportunity.

From the bottom of her heart, Qin Xiaotian was reluctant to let go of such a good thing, but the fact that it was free made her dare not agree easily, in case Xu Licen or someone from the newspaper knew about it, wouldn't she think that she was taking advantage of the relationship of the newspaper to rub off on the favor of customers? After thinking about it repeatedly, Qin Xiaotian did not agree to Zheng Zheng's proposal. A few days later, Xu Licen found himself and told him that Zheng Zheng had approached her, saying that he wanted to arrange for someone to participate in their first training throughout the process, to do a follow-up in-depth report on the last interview, and suggested to her that Qin Xiaotian should take over the task this time. Xu Licen did not show displeasure or opposition, Qin Xiaotian was very strange that Xu Licen seemed to want to let him take this job, and he could see that Xu Licen attached great importance to it. Sure enough, Xu Licen asked her to complete this work well, and couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, so she lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Xiaotian's ear: "Mr. Zheng said that if the interview is in-depth and the manuscript is well written, give us a year's worth of advertising for the weekly!" Xu Licen covered his mouth and snickered, for fear of being seen. Qin Xiaotian knew in her heart that Xu Licen must be for this advertising fee, and she could share it from it, of course she knew that Zheng Zheng's weekly advertising was indeed a good thing for them, but she always felt that something was a little awkward, could it be that Zheng Zheng and Xu Licen had some invisible deals? Otherwise, why did he post two reports, and Wanyuan made such a big move? She didn't understand it too much, but after thinking about it, these things had little to do with her, so she didn't go far into it, just do what she had to do.

During this time, Na Chunming was still avoiding himself, maybe he hadn't figured out how to face Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian had never met him on the way to and from work, but he had often encountered him before. On this afternoon, Qin Xiaotian received the order and received a notice that from this Friday onwards, she would not go to work in the newspaper office, and would go to Wanyuan to learn tea art with peace of mind, record the learning process in the form of a prose diary, and promote Wanyuan's tea culture and tea products. Qin Xiaotian walked out of the office, and happened to see Na Chunming coming in in the downward elevator, and the chance encounter was a coincidence, when you tried everything you could to meet someone, you couldn't meet it, but when you didn't expect it at all, you met it again.

"Chunming." Qin Xiaotian whispered Na Chunming's name across a person, Na Chunming turned his head, looked past the man behind him and saw Qin Xiaotian, and nodded at her slightly.

After the man sandwiched between them got off the elevator, Na Chunming offered to sit in the rest area on the 14th floor, Qin Xiaotian nodded desperately as if he had been amnesty, trying to bite the corner of his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.

The lounge area is wrapped in transparent tempered glass, with a reading area and a fitness area, as well as a small tea room, and five or six small round tables supported by floor-to-ceiling windows, with a view of the outside. Qin Xiaotian was as guilty as he was courteous, pulling a stool for Na Chunming, spending money to buy drinks, and personally opening it and handing it to Na Chunming. In the past, Na Chunming must have helped Qin Xiaotian do these things by himself, but today, he just sat there silently, quietly watching Qin Xiaotian run back and forth.

Qin Xiaotian took a sip of juice and sat still, unable to remember what to say for a while. Na Chunming's bright and slender eyes stared at Qin Xiaotian for a long time, but the focus of his eyes seemed to pass through Qin Xiaotian's face to a place that Qin Xiaotian couldn't see behind him. Qin Xiaotian finally mustered up the courage to call Na Chunming's name again. Na Chunming pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "It's been a long time since I've sat so quietly with you." ”

Qin Xiaotian's heart was suddenly touched when he heard this, it had been a long time. "In the future, when we have time, we can just sit like this and relax." Qin Xiaotian's voice was soft but firm.

"Of course it's good that you're willing to do this, and it's not awkward for a few people to sit and do their own things without talking. We can do this, probably because we are really familiar friends. Na Chunming's eyes looked out the window, and the voice slowly drifted into Qin Xiaotian's ears. She was surprised, moved, and sorry in her heart.

"Chunming, I'm really glad you can continue to treat me as your familiar friend, really! I, I ......" Qin Xiaotian didn't know how to pick up the afternoon, and a thousand words only turned into a sorry.

Na Chunming waved his hand, his smile a little bitter. "Don't say you're sorry, you're not sorry for me, and if you're still your friend, don't say sorry to me for this incident in the future."

Qin Xiaotian couldn't speak for a long time, as if a stone was stuck in his throat, choked his breath, and could only hold back desperately if he wanted to cry. "Thank you!" Qin Xiaotian didn't know how to express her joy and gratitude, and could only summarize her complex psychology in the most ordinary language.

"Thank you, I didn't figure it out by myself before, but now that I have figured it out, I feel comfortable, I should thank you!" Na Chunming smiled heartily, shook the drink bottle in his hand mischievously, and told Qin Xiaotian that he was back to the previous Chunming.

Qin Xiaotian's eyes had become a crescent moon, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and Chunming looked at Qin Xiaotian for so long, those deep, inexpressible feelings were buried in the bottomless black hole by his deep eyes.

Soon, Qin Xiaotian appeared in the first tea master training class of Wanyuan Tea Industry. She originally wanted to make a soy sauce and accept it when she completed the task, but before the first day of class, Zheng Zheng came to the scene to congratulate the opening of the class, and specially named her name, saying that it was a special person who was invited, and would do later reporting and publicity for Wanyuan, all of a sudden, Qin Xiaotian felt that more than 20 pairs of eyes were looking at him together, so he had to reluctantly smile. As a result, she intentionally or unintentionally became a student in the class who received special attention, and there was really no way to fish in troubled waters.

On the third day of practical class, Qin Xiaotian brewed Taiping Monkey Kui with a glass lid bowl according to the method taught by the teacher, the bottom of the transparent bowl was pale green, and the flat and straight tea leaves were scattered in the bowl irregularly, after the spiral collision of boiling water at about 85 degrees, one by one in the glass lid bowl rotated up and flipped down, after infiltrating the boiling water, the leaves slowly stretched out, revealing two green leaves and one bud, which was very good-looking. However, Qin Xiaotian's hand was not well controlled, the water was filled too much, and the bowl of noodles was overflowing, she wanted to pour some water out, she didn't want to be scalded and screamed, and when her fingers rebounded conditionally, she knocked over the bowl, and the sound of ping-pong attracted the sideways glances of other students, some of them were a little gloating, and some of them revealed a look of "this is not good" in their eyes, Qin Xiaotian suddenly felt that his face was completely empty. Fortunately, there is a tea tray to protect it, otherwise the whole bowl would have fallen to the ground and shattered bones. Teacher Qi of the training came over and asked her if she was okay, she covered her scalded fingers and shook her head and said it was okay, cleaned up the tea tray hard, re-added the dry tea to continue brewing, this time, she poured water into the center along the edge of the tea bowl at a uniform speed, and stopped after filling 2/3 of the water. Watching the fluttering tea leaves floating in the water, smelling the light orchid fragrance, the tea fragrance is refreshing, so that she fell in love with this tranquil temperament at this moment.

After a week, Qin Xiaotian has learned the basic tea brewing methods and the basic knowledge of tea, and by the end of the class, they will be divided into six groups to perform collective tea art. Each group can choose the tea leaves and utensils they want to brew, and the movements are required to be uniform and the steps are correct, and finally handed over to the judges to evaluate the tea soup, taste, performance skills, etc. Time is tight and the task is heavy, after Teacher Qi finished dividing into groups, everyone used the time after class to make an appointment to practice, and Qin Xiaotian and their group of 4 were no exception. Probably I heard that the students are too diligent, even dinner time is still in the study hall, one night about 7 o'clock, Zheng Zheng came to visit the students, with him and Cheng Chengcheng, she stood behind him, her head always seemed to be slightly raised at a 45-degree angle, looking noble and imposing, several male students saw a beautiful woman coming, the soul was hooked seven points, all of a sudden, there were several cups or teapots in the room. Of course, there are also people who are burned like Qin Xiaotian.

Zheng Zheng asked everyone if they had had dinner, and one or two students said no, he turned his neck to the back and nodded to Cheng Chengcheng, Cheng Chengcheng turned around and walked out, and then there was a person like a security guard who came in with two hugging bags and put them on the podium. Cheng Chengcheng and Zheng Zheng opened the bag and distributed Chen Ji desserts to everyone, attracting cheers. When Zheng Zheng handed a bowl of mango taro balls to Qin Xiaotian, she hid the excitement in her heart and her hungry stomach, and steadily took the plastic bowl and placed it next to the tea tray, without rushing to open it.

"Don't you eat? You're not hungry? Zheng Zheng watched her put the dessert aside, and then went to hold the purple clay pot to make tea, thinking that she didn't like desserts.

Qin Xiaotian picked up the freshly brewed tea and put it on the tea table, knocked on the table, and gestured: "Please drink tea." Zheng Zheng's eyes lit up, picked up the steaming cup, smelled the tea, put it to his lips and took a sip of praise: "Good tea!" Then he added, "It's a good soak!" ”

Qin Xiaotian smiled and teased in a half-joking tone: "I have to thank Mr. Zheng for giving me such a good opportunity to learn!" ”

Zheng Zheng nodded as a matter of course, "Then study hard, I'm still waiting for your **bright manuscript." After speaking, he put the mango taro balls heavily in front of Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian looked up at Zheng Zheng, a little surprised, and then unceremoniously opened the lid and scooped up the taro balls and ate them. She didn't see a satisfied smile on the corner of Zheng Zheng's mouth, which was reflected in the eyes of Cheng Chengcheng, who was not far away.

Zheng Zheng walked to the teacher Qi who was instructing the students to use the tea set and asked about the teaching, respectfully said to the teacher that he had worked hard, and turned to the students who were eating or practicing tea art with a smile, and encouraged everyone with enthusiasm and encouragement: "The students have worked hard, I heard the teacher say that everyone is very serious and hard-working, and it is not easy to learn the profound Chinese tea culture through just half a month of course, I hope you can cherish the remaining learning time, successfully complete the course and complete the performance, I also hope that all of you here can contribute to the promotion of Chinese tea culture in the future. Finally, we would like to thank Mr. Qi for coming thousands of miles to teach us, we have seen the hard work of the teacher, I suggest that you send warm applause to Mr. Qi, but also to ourselves, thank you for your hard work! The moment the applause rang out, Qin Xiaotian felt that it was a pity that Zheng Zheng didn't go to be a speaker, his voice was very good, low and mellow, gentle and firm, as long as he added a little bit of suppressed and frustrated feelings and tones, this announcer-like voice alone could capture people's hearts, no wonder just a few words mobilized everyone's enthusiasm and made everyone's emotions high.

Qin Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart that some people are born with a talent for speech and aura, and the person who is a big boss is really different. I saw Cheng Chengcheng walking next to Zheng Zheng in applause, and applauded with others confidently and quite complacently while looking at Zheng Zheng.

Zheng Zheng glanced down at her, and that smile contained some complicated things such as gratitude and appreciation, which Qin Xiaotian didn't quite understand. Zheng Zheng chatted with others in the class like sympathetic to his subordinates, and after understanding the situation, he said goodbye to everyone, and did not forget to tell everyone to pay attention to their bodies again and study carefully when they left. Qin Xiaotian noticed that when they left, Cheng Chengcheng naturally approached Zheng Zheng, and under the gaze of everyone, his left hand took the arm of Zheng Zheng's right hand, Zheng Zheng paused for a moment, he glanced at Cheng Chengcheng quietly, didn't say anything, and let her walk out of the door.

At the graduation ceremony a week later, Wanyuan Tea invited the director of the Department of Tea Science of Agricultural University, the vice president of the Tea Association, and the judges of the tea art performance competition in the industry. Please enter the palace, hang the pot and flush it high, wash the tea, brew the first tea, and then point the water and incense, and finally the leader of their group, Qu Yuanyuan, will serve the fragrant tea. Seeing Qu Yuanyuan pick up the cup of tea in the middle from his tea tray and put it on the tea tray, Qin Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. The judges picked up the cups and smelled the aroma first, and then slowly tasted the tea, without showing too many expressions. In the end, Qin Xiaotian's group won the second prize, which exceeded her expectations, the first, second and third prizes are cash prizes, and the second prize is 2,000 yuan, so that no one in their group can share 500 yuan, which is not a small amount for students like Qin Xiaotian.

In the evening, to celebrate the graduation of the first tea art workshop, Zheng Zheng invited all the people attending the graduation ceremony to dine at a high-end hotel. The crystal chandelier emitted a dazzling light, and the dazzling array of buffet dishes and various pastries and famous wines made Qin Xiaotian open her mouth wide and suppress the excitement in her heart, she could only pretend to pick up the plate elegantly, and then mercilessly put all the food she was interested in into the plate, and after a while, the guilt on the plate piled up. Qin Xiaotian only hates that his stomach is too small, he can't fit so many delicacies, in life, only food is the most unacceptable! After she finished choosing the dishes, she quickly flashed to a corner with few people and sat down, there was a candle on the white cloth table, three roses, all the mood was just right, only the knife and fork were turned on. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to care about those people, anyway, in addition to communicating with the people in these workshops, she was not familiar with them in private, and the other dignitaries and dignitaries had nothing to do with her, so she should happily enjoy the food on the plate that was waving to her warmly. Just as she was immersed in hard work, a hand holding a red wine glass appeared in front of her, she puffed out her cheeks and looked up, and saw Zheng Zhengzheng looking down at her, smiling a little incredulously. She suddenly realized that her eating was too rude, so she quickly took a napkin and wiped her mouth, chewed the beef in her mouth vigorously, and stood up in a panic while pushing away the stool with her legs, and shouted to Mr. Zheng.

Zheng Zheng's eyes bent up, smiled with interest, and kept swinging his palms up and down, signaling her not to panic. "What are you panicking about, eat slowly. I'm looking at how you hide here alone, it turns out that you are eating happily! Reporter Qin Da, don't forget to take a photo, this is to be written in the manuscript. After Zheng Zheng finished speaking, he squinted at her.

Qin Xiaotian hated that she was carried away by the food, and she forgot to take pictures, but fortunately, Zheng Zhenglai reminded her, otherwise when the people left the tea was cool, she held the camera to shoot the leftovers on the table? She immediately cheered up and straightened her attitude, bent down and pulled out her camera from her backpack, intending to take advantage of the current enthusiasm to take a few decent photos. Who knew that Zheng Zheng said slowly: "Don't worry, you can eat more if you like, you can take photos if you can, if you can't shoot them, I hired a professional photographer, if you want the material, just ask him to give it to you when you want." As he spoke, he pointed to a man in a short jacket on the side of the stage, Qin Xiaotian looked over and nodded, deciding to take a few photos himself.

"By the way, in order to congratulate you on winning the second prize in the afternoon competition, I came to have a toast with you." Zheng Zheng held the red wine glass and suddenly changed his words, his eyes looking at the glass of red wine he had just placed in front of Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian also looked at the half glass of red wine and was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Zheng, I don't know how to drink." ”

"You don't have to have a dry glass, just take a big sip!" Zheng Zheng raised his glass, "First of all, I want to thank you for your hard work in reporting for us several times, and congratulations again on your award!" ”

Qin Xiaotian hurriedly raised his wine glass, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the two glasses collided with each other and made a crisp sound. She raised the cup with respectful hands and took a big sip, and Zheng Zheng also drank half a cup with great grace. Putting down the wine glass, Zheng Zheng asked her not to leave in a hurry, and then take her to meet a few people, which made Qin Xiaotian a little confused. Of course, she wasn't going to leave right away, she still had to take pictures, so she gave up the rest of the food on her plate and went to take pictures with her camera.

Qin Xiaotian finished taking pictures, sat down and continued to recover her foodie nature, some dishes were cold, she served some hot dishes again, and when she was peeling shrimp with great interest, Zheng Zheng came over and wanted to take her to meet the characters mentioned before. Qin Xiaotian stuffed the shrimp in his hand into his mouth, and begged in a vague accent: "Mr. Zheng, you see that I eat dirty, or you don't have to take me to meet people, I don't know a few people here, you can let me eat here with peace of mind1"

Zheng Zheng's eyes opened slightly, and he felt that the girl in front of him was a little ignorant: "Take a wet tissue to wipe your hands and mouth." He stopped a waiter and asked the waiter to give a clean hot towel and handed it to Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian helplessly wiped his hands and mouth full of seafood smell, and reluctantly got up from the chair while looking at Zheng Zheng's "don't listen to me, you want to look good".

"Follow me." Zheng Zheng turned around and returned to his gentle, calm and generous appearance, and even had a professional smile on his face, not at all like the way he stared at Qin Xiaotian just now, Qin Xiaotian sighed in his heart: It's a pity that you don't act.

Zheng Zheng took her to a middle-aged man dressed casually, although he was dressed casually, he was extraordinary at first glance, and he should be wearing a famous brand, very energetic, well maintained, and it seemed to have some origins. When Qin Xiaotian was wondering which noble person it was, Zheng Zheng introduced it with a smile on his face.

"Editor-in-chief Qiao, let me introduce to you, this is Qin Xiaotian, she is a graduate student of the Department of Journalism of Yunshan University, the report in the magazine I showed you before was written by her, and she was also invited to participate in our first tea culture workshop this time, and this report is still written by her."

Zheng Zheng turned to Qin Xiaotian and made an introduction gesture: "Xiaotian, this is the editor-in-chief of "Fashion World" Qiao. When Qin Xiaotian heard this, he immediately bowed his body, stretched out his hand, and greeted modestly: "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Qiao, I am Qin Xiaotian of Yunshan University, and I am honored to meet you." ”

Qiao Ling looked Qin Xiaotian up and down, stretched out his hand a little hesitantly, and symbolically shook Qin Xiaotian's hand. His eyes and casual handshake made Qin Xiaotian feel very uncomfortable, which was obviously suspicious of her, or a little despised for a fledgling little girl like her.

"Editor-in-chief Qiao, don't underestimate this girl, she works under the editor-in-chief of "Considerable", but she is a rare talent." Zheng Zheng was very polite, but his tone was unquestionably firm.

When Qiao Ling heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Xiaotian twice, and seemed to be a little interested in her: "It turned out to be someone under the editor-in-chief, it seems that I am lonely." He looked at Qin Xiaotian squarely, and expressed his disrespect to Qin Xiaotian with a slightly apologetic and arrogant look.

Qin Xiaotian always kept smiling, saying that he welcomed the editor-in-chief Qiao to visit their weekly magazine for guidance, this humble and arrogant gesture made Qiao Ling feel that she was quite generous and courageous.

Zheng Zheng took her to meet the director of the Department of Tea Science of Agricultural University, the vice president of the Tea Association and others, although Qin Xiaotian was drumming in his heart, he refused to reveal a trace of humility and uneasiness on his face, pretending to be calm and confident, and behaved very generously.

After the banquet, Qin Xiaotian breathed a heavy sigh of relief, Zheng Zheng laughed at her and finally finished pretending, and offered to send her back, who knew that Qin Xiaotian drank a large glass of water, and looked frank after suppressing the shock: "Thank you Mr. Zheng for your kindness, but my boyfriend is already waiting for me downstairs, I'll go down first, thank you for your hospitality." After speaking, he picked up his backpack, waved to Zheng Zheng in a chic manner, and walked out of the banquet hall.

The whole city is lit up with neon, and from the 30-storey banquet hall, you can still see the riverside lanterns and the Wanhua Pagoda with golden light, Zheng Zheng is looking downstairs, the crowd of black spots shuttling through the streets, and the number of people entering and exiting through the gate of this building has decreased. The couple who walked out just now may be Qin Xiaotian and her boyfriend. Zheng Zheng leaned against the window and lit a cigarette, the smoke spread over his face, and his expressions and thoughts could not be seen, perhaps there was an unknown loneliness hidden in his heart.
