if you serious you lose

The kettles used in the tea room are very special. They are all old-fashioned copper and iron kettles. There are no very exquisite patterns on them. They seem to be really old because the handles of the copper kettles are originally The proper heat insulation device has fallen off and is bare. Every time Lin Yuan picks it up with a tea cloth, otherwise he will definitely be burned.

When Qin Jie saw it for the first time, he also asked Lin Yuan why he didn’t get a new one. Nowadays, many kettles have high technology, which is safer and more convenient. Even if you like the old style, there must be kettles with similar design for you No matter how bad the choice is, it is not impossible to buy another copper pot with heat insulation.

"In our line of work, many old experts like to bring their own tea sets. After all, it is also one of the pleasures to enjoy tea sets and play with tea pets. However, it is really inconvenient to trouble others to bring iron and copper pots. They can see it. As for why they insist on using iron pots and copper pots, the boiling point of iron pots is higher than that of ordinary pots, and the heat preservation time is longer. For some old teas, due to the long aging time, Only iron pots can provide enough high-temperature water to stimulate their aroma, which helps to enhance their own tea flavor. Of course, there are also medical benefits for the body to absorb iron and copper elements, but iron pots should be divided And the copper pot, because the iron pot is more suitable for brewing black tea and Pu'er with heavy fermentation; while the copper pot is suitable for green tea and Tieguanyin, which are relatively lightly fermented. In short, it is very cumbersome to really pay attention to making tea. It's just a matter of using it smoothly, and I'm too lazy to toss about it."

Regarding his proposal, Lin Yuan just shook his head with a smile, and then gave him some knowledge about copper and iron teapots. In fact, Qin Jie realized that he didn't answer his question directly, but he also guessed This copper pot must be cherished by Lin Yuan very much, so he is unwilling to replace it.

Since then, Qin Jie has also absorbed a lot of tea-related knowledge. For example, every time he observes what pot Lin Yuan took out, and guesses what kind of tea he will drink today, even though he has been drinking tea here for half a year. , but it is still difficult for him to distinguish the tea species from the taste, it is better to use this simple and rude method, but Lin Yuan is very cooperative with his boring little game every time.

Tonight, Qin Jie habitually observed what kind of pot Lin Yuan took out, so when he saw Lin Yuan grabbing the handle of the copper pot with empty hands, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, but Lin Yuan, who had no time to react, Yuan was still burned.

The painful scream made Qin Jie come to Lin Yuan's side in an instant, and grabbed his right hand shrunk into a fist.

"Let me see, it should be quite hot, I have to rush to pour cold water... Lin Yuan, let go!"

It was also the first time for Qin Jie to reprimand Lin Yuan in such a harsh tone. He felt pity for the other party's trembling with eyes closed, but he was also very anxious about Lin Yuan's strange reaction of not wanting to open his palm to check the injury. From the beginning, Something was wrong with Lin Yuan. Qin Jie couldn't let him waste any more time, so he dragged him up to the sink in the room, turned on the cold water, grabbed Lin Yuan's hand, and began to wash.

Fortunately, after being washed by cold water for a while, Lin Yuan, who seemed to have regained consciousness, let go of his hand. Qin Jie quickly turned it over to check. Sure enough, there were red scald marks on his white fingertips and palms, and he wrinkled. Frowning, he told Lin Yuan to keep flushing, and ran out of the tea room to invite the waiter to prepare a washbasin filled with cold water, and went out to the pharmacy as soon as possible to buy medicine for the burn.

Soon, the requested water basin came. Qin Jie asked Lin Yuan, who was standing, to return to the tea table and sit on a chair, and then soaked his hands in the basin, while he himself began to clean up the messy tea sets.

"I'm sorry." Lin Yuan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Qin Jie sighed, looking at the person obediently soaking in cold water, he just wanted to comfort the injured.

"It's okay. This burn must be treated immediately. If it blisters, it will be troublesome. Wait and see how the medicine will look tomorrow. If it doesn't work, you have to go to the hospital. Do you understand? Lin Yuan, what's wrong with you, if you have something on your mind, you can Tell me, it's easy to get into trouble if you are so absent-minded."

Hearing such warm and kind words, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a soreness in his nose. He raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and then responded.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, and I won't make such low-level mistakes again. Business has been busy recently, and I don't have a good rest. I always tend to lose my mind. That's why I'm like this. I'll definitely adjust back as soon as possible, don't worry."

Qin Jie knew that Lin Yuan was not telling the truth, but he couldn't bear to ask, and just kept his head down and continued the cleaning work.

"It's rare for you to come to me. I haven't had a cup of tea, and I'm still doing the work of picking up tea and matcha tables here. I'm really rude."

Lin Yuan's words finally made Qin Jie a little unbearable. He put down the rag. At this moment, he felt a fire in his heart. He picked up the cup on the table, filled it with water, and poured it vigorously until he felt His mouth was not dry and his mind was no longer dry, so he put down the water glass.

"Lin Yuan, you are good everywhere, but you are too born. We have known each other for more than half a year. You still treat me like a guest every time. I am not here to drink tea, but to be with you Chat, talk about your heart, you say, you are like this, do I mind that there is no tea or do you mind that you don't treat me as a friend and don't tell me if you have troubles?"

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Qin Jie continued with a wry smile.

"If you don't want to talk to me, you can also find Yan Zhili. You have known each other for so many years. You must have a deep relationship and know each other better. Can't you talk to him?"

Hearing this name, Lin Yuan's body visibly froze. In this tea room, in the conversation between Qin Jie and Lin Yuan, it was rare for the words "words of law" to appear. They were so familiar with each other, but they both understood each other tacitly. He seldom mentioned it like that, and after a while, he said it to Qin Jie softly.

"No, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really not a big deal, business matters, that is, some usual problems, although annoying, will eventually pass, I just don't want you to come to me to relax, I have to listen Some troubles."

Both of them stayed quietly for a while, Qin Jie also cleaned up the things, tested the temperature of the water in the basin with his hands, the indoor temperature was raised by the air conditioner, so the water was not so cold, he motioned for Lin Yuan Taking his hands away, he poured a new basin of cold water for Lin Yuan to continue soaking, and then put his coat on him again.

"Soaking in cold water, it will still be a little cold, put on your clothes, and take off when it's hot."

Lin Yuan did not refuse, and curled his mouth to look at the meticulous Qin Jie. The mole at the corner of his eye finally released a soft breath along with his master.

"You are very good at taking care of people, and you are really blessed with the law of words. I am a little envious of him."

Now, Qin Jie couldn't help but stared at Lin Yuan with wide eyes and couldn't hide his astonishment. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a while.

"I guess, but does it look real?"

It was rare to see Lin Yuan's mischievous expression, and Qin Jie felt that a high hanging stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, but it was followed by a burst of shyness.

Seeing Qin Jie with ever-changing facial expressions, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing a few times. How could this person be so simple and easy to please, but he couldn't laugh in his heart.

"Oh, don't laugh, people like you laugh at me, I'm really even more embarrassed, but how did you see it, we never appeared together in front of you afterwards."

For Lin Yuan to know the relationship between himself and Yan Zhilu first, Qin Jie was full of doubts. If it was said by Yan Zhilu, it was understandable, but Lin Yuan's meaning was guessed by himself, which inevitably made him feel uncomfortable. People feel surprised.

"It's because you always avoid suspicion. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. When you come to me one or two, you avoid talking about each other, but sometimes when I talk about your affairs, I express my words without any surprise. So I always feel that you are connected in private. Today I will just follow your words and guess casually."

"Well, in fact, we didn't intend to avoid you, but we just established a relationship just now. It was really quite ups and downs before, and it was still a little unclear, so it's hard to say it out, oops, actually I can't explain it clearly .”

Scratching his hair, Qin Jie was still a little embarrassed. If Lin Yuan misunderstood that he and Yan Zhilv deliberately concealed his relationship with him, it would always feel bad, so he continued to explain hard.

"Don't worry, I didn't blame you. The relationship is the privacy of two people. You don't need to tell the world. Besides, you are two men. This alone probably makes you a little troubled." .”

Qin Jie didn't expect Lin Yuan to mention this point. Regarding himself and the law of speech as a man's problem, he actually forgot for a moment that it was "abnormal" in the eyes of others, and he inevitably had new worries.

"Lin Yuan, what do you think about homosexuality?"

"Haha, Qin Jie, the timing of your question is amazing. I can already guess that you are with Yan Zhili. Do you think I will not accept homosexuality? Don't worry, I have no objection to this."

So are you?Qin Jie suddenly wanted to ask a question, but he still swallowed the question that was approaching his throat, and then echoed embarrassingly, with a dry smile.

"That's good, that's good, haha."

In the following time, Qin Jie accompanied Lin Yuan to soak in cold water for more than half an hour, and helped him apply the scald medicine, and told several waiters to look after their boss before leaving the teahouse.

Walking out of the shop, Qin Jie heard the sound of knocking on a wooden fish again. He looked at the two big characters on the signboard, and remembered Lin Yuan's lonely look when he was staring blankly at the signboard waiting, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his head. At that time, he felt that Lin Yuan was actually waiting for someone.

I don't know how long he stood there, Qin Jie's head hurt even more from the wind, and then he walked slowly towards the subway station. Along the way, he recalled the conversation between himself and Lin Yuan in the tea room, and after seeing Lin Yuan. He didn't dare to think about that abnormal appearance, because that kind of guess made him feel more and more guilty, and made himself even more ashamed of what he had done tonight.

Originally thought that coming to the teahouse was to "relieve worries", but now it seems that it has added more troubles. For Lin Yuan, Qin Jie felt pity for him. At the same time, he also found that he had never understood him.

This made Qin Jie think of the Law of Words again.

In the end, the familiar and anxious conclusion emerged. The two of them still had their own secret world, but they could never get close to them.
