Wu Di Shi had efficiently managed to arrange the meeting with Xiao Zhi-Ren. And right now, Ru was sitting at the Royal Cafe waiting for Xiao Zhi-Ren.
The cafe was a typical western style coffee shop. It wasn't very big but it wasn't small either. It had a coffee colored theme and there were glass walls overlooking the bustling roads of Imperial Capital. The aroma of freshly baked delicacies was enticing enough to make one crave for a bite.
The Cafe was chosen by Xiao Zhi-Ren himself while Ru just showed up. It wasn't that Xiao Zhi-Ren was late. Nope! If he had been late Ru would have been long gone. It was just that Ru came earlier than the meeting time out of habit.
She seated at the table near the glass wall and asked for a Tarry Lapsang Souchong tea[1] for herself. As the waitress brought over her tea she kept looking at the strong color of the tea. Although the tea was famous for being strong, healthy and flavorful, Ru particularly liked it for its smoky flavor and fragrance.
