A Tea Shop Among the Clouds

After his daily hike up the mountain to admire the sunrise, Lu Jiaxiu sent the tea shop girl her usual WeChat message: "Miss Lin, I'm here."

Lin Ran, who had raced up the mountain at top speed, taking the cable car and then hiking the trail to get to work, replied, "I'll be there soon!!!"

Taking the steps two at a time, Lin Ran had grown used to brewing Lu Jiaxiu's usual oolong tea first. After all, this regular customer who came by every day had become as ingrained in her mind as a clockwork alarm.

Lin Ran said, "Honestly, why not just buy a bottle of oolong tea at the supermarket and bring it up the mountain? Is the tea at our shop really that good? Our stingy boss wouldn't buy any decent tea leaves..."

But Lu Jiaxiu never tired of coming. "Everyone has different tastes. I happen to like this flavor."

One day, Lin Ran asked, "Were you on the phone with Chen Wenbo just now? What a coincidence, our boss is named Chen Wenbo too."

Lu Jiaxiu said, "That's right. It's the same Chen Wenbo. We grew up together."

Lin Ran said, "Huh??? Then just pretend you never heard me complain about the tea leaves. And the part where I called him a stingy boss..."

"Oh, you were telling the truth," Lu Jiaxiu said with a smile. "Of course, I won't tell him."

After all, only by protecting the girl's job could he keep seeing her on the mountaintop every day.

Oh, and one more thing. The sunrise from the mountaintop is famous far and wide. Legend has it that young lovers who watch the sunrise here together will find a love as eternal as the sun.

This novel was completed on July 14. Thank you for your support.

My next novel will be He Came to Attend My Class Again. Here's the blurb:

As a newly graduated novice teacher, the thing you probably fear most is having a school leader observe your class.

No, no. Jiang Yuelin can tell you from experience: even worse than having your class observed is having it observed every single day!

After her class was selected for a research project, a researcher named Gu Yuqian began spending time in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.

Jiang Yuelin once asked nervously, "Why was my class selected? May I ask what your research project is about?"

Gu Yuqian smiled. "Our team studies the challenges and uncertainties faced by new teachers."

In other words: You're fresh out of school and flustered, so you're perfect for this!

He hadn't planned on interacting with Jiang Yuelin much. After all, quietly observing her was the best way to gather the most authentic data.

He even told her to think of him as a head of cabbage, so she wouldn't keep looking at him nervously while teaching.

But life is full of surprises. He answered her call for help, walked in on her being berated by a parent, and watched in helpless amusement as she struggled with her chaotic lesson plan for an open class...

A semester passed.

"Huh?" Jiang Yuelin looked up at Gu Yuqian. "I just remembered. Didn't you say you'd quietly sit in and observe?"

"I did," Gu Yuqian sighed. "So the data I collected last semester wasn't objective enough, and the project fell behind. The professor gave me quite an earful."

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Yuqian smiled and quietly took her hand. "Luckily, I asked him to be our wedding witness this time. That helped him cool off a little."

Theme: Cherish the beauty of everyday life.
