[One Piece] Courage to Dream

Chapter [-] Form and spirit

The drizzle outside the house was long and distant, and a hazy rain curtain was hung between the sky and the earth. It was sparse, and every drop was full of lightness like a dream.

In the pine belt rain that no one knows about in Bill's mouth.

"What's wrong?" Lulu noticed that Xiu Ya seemed to be staring at her all the time, so she couldn't help asking, "What's on my face?"

"No, no." Xiuya withdrew his gaze, "Aren't you... not afraid?"

Lulu was confused: "Afraid? Why?"

"Cough, it's nothing..." Xiuya stopped the conversation that was getting weirder.

"Sa, come and sit down, my guest." The boy beside him sat on the ground, pointing to the seat opposite, "What would you like to drink?"

"I don't know much about tea." Because the young man's sitting posture was too straight, Xiuya also subconsciously sat very straight, "You can see which one suits you."

"So Kar." The young man smiled, as if he already had a plan in mind.It's completely different from the casual brewing by the guys in the Tea Fragrant House. The young man used many professional props, his movements are rigorous and elegant, and the whole process is extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Please use." The teacup was passed to Xiuya.

The tea in the cup is silver-green in color and fragrant like orchids, but the shape of the tea leaves looks strange, except for the scattered tea leaves rolling in the water, there is also a cluster of compact tea leaves clustered together.

Picking up the cup, she took a sip of tea, the taste was bitter but the aftertaste was sweet.

At this moment, the ball of tea leaves quietly opened, and the tea leaves scattered on the surface of the water, and a light red flower fell out of the ball of tea leaves.

Xiuya looked at the changes in the cup in surprise, the boy pointed to Lulu next to him, and explained: "This idea...was thought up by this girl."

"Oh?" Seeing Lulu lowering her head with a blushing face, Xiuya praised, "It's amazing."

"No, it's not that great..." Lulu felt very embarrassed when she was said that, but she couldn't hide her happiness in her eyes.

Looking at these two people, Xiuya probably understood that this young man is good at tea art, while Lulu is researching new products, the match between the two is really perfect.

After taking another sip of tea, Xiuya closed his eyes and let out a breath slowly.

The tea shop welcomes the fresh fragrance of tea and the drizzle outside the house, making it peaceful and quiet.

"It's very quiet." She said, "It seems that my mind has calmed down."

"Well, I think tea should bring people this kind of feeling," said the young man, "remove distracting thoughts and practice introspection. This...is the tea ceremony we insist on."

"... Tea ceremony? Isn't it tea ceremony?" It was the first time Xiuya heard this word.

"The so-called art refers to the art of making tea, cooking tea, and tasting tea. It is famous and tangible, and Tao is the spirit carried out in the process of tea art. It is a principle, law, origin and essence." The young man said Sometimes, persistence and confidence are unconsciously revealed on the face.

He wanted to continue, but he remembered something: "I said this without authorization, so it didn't cause trouble to the guests?"

"No." Xiu Ya shook his head slightly, as if he had realized something, "So that's the case, no wonder there seems to be something missing in the Tea Fragrant House."

Looking at the boy's face, she smiled involuntarily and said, "If that guy was here, he might be arguing for you to be his companions again."

"Huh?" The boy and Lulu were puzzled.

"My name is Xiuya, what's your name?" Xiuya changed the topic quickly.

The young man was still sitting upright, with bright eyes and a gentle smile, he said, "My name is Roy."

"Why didn't you ask me?" Lulu protested.

Xiuya satisfied her: "May I ask your name, Miss Lulu?"

"I'm Lulu..." Lulu replied happily, before realizing the question, "You know?"

Xiuya nodded, then stood up.

"What's the matter?!" Lulu asked in surprise, she was sitting upright, what happened?

Xiuya told her calmly: "Nimeng is sitting too upright, Laozi's feet are numb..."
