Lifting the teapot, she brought it closer and took a whiff, smiling as she said, "It smells wonderful."
Zhou Chi wasn't a tea connoisseur, nor did he particularly enjoy the bitterness of tea. However, upon hearing her praise, it didn't seem quite as difficult to endure. He took a sip, pursed his lips, and then took another sip.

"Speak your mind."
Zhou Chi grinned. "I have a few questions."
"Go ahead."

"Oh! Didn't you see the other guy? His eyeballs almost popped out!"
"I saw him. It means my request was indeed a bit unreasonable."
