At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Generally speaking, when you wake up in the morning, regardless of gender, if you don't wash your face and brush your teeth, your appearance will definitely not be as good as if you had taken good care of yourself. Under such circumstances, kissing or playing around will definitely not be the best experience.

This point was emphasized in "The Way of the Spirit"—"To be alluring at all times, you must bathe frequently and sleep less. Wash up before he wakes up and remove your makeup after he falls asleep."

Such powerful tactics come at an outrageous cost, and are beyond the capabilities of an ordinary young girl.

An Qing had wondered more than once what kind of powerful being could create such a heaven-defying technique as "The Way of the Spirit" so that she could overcome difficult challenges.

Such a guide is truly invaluable, every word a gem, every trick a piece of practical experience. Those who jumped in early are already secretly delighted.

Sure enough, when Su Che saw the beautiful house cat, his first thought was that she had made another sacrifice.

He couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, and, in perfect cooperation, pretended to be attracted, raising his hand to wrap his arms around her slender waist.

"!"

An Qing was taken aback by his actions, her beautiful eyes widened, and her body tensed up.

"What? Why is it smelling so good? What are you planning to do?"

Su Che grinned mischievously, his previous defensive stance, which had been like an invisible wall, completely gone.

This time, An Qing was truly at a loss, tentatively burying her face against his pillow—

"I want it closer."

"Okay."

She made a move, and he responded.

If it weren't for the kitten behind me, there might have been a solar eclipse in our house this morning.

It was so chaotic and confusing.

"Hey junior, is this how you usually mess with them?"

Suddenly, like a bucket of cold water,

The senior's voice came from the side, instantly snapping the entangled couple out of their daze.

Oh no, I forgot my senior hasn't left yet.

Su Che gave an awkward smile and turned his head away.

An Qing looked regretful as she pulled her snow-white legs out from under the covers, pretending nothing had happened.

Yu tide is not blind.

Standing beside the bed, looking down from above.

The observations over the night have basically confirmed a lot of key information—

1. When my junior can't sleep at night, he secretly plays on his phone, and he'll most likely be dealing with messages from other cats.

2. Domestic cats and kittens tend to behave very well when strangers are around, making it difficult to detect anything unusual without careful observation.

3. In the morning, the kitten will suddenly wake up, sniff around at the junior's body, and then do some things with its tongue that are not quite in line with its role. After that, it will pretend to be asleep, which is quite overstepping its bounds.

4. My cat wakes up very early, then goes to the bathroom to groom and groom itself, instantly getting ready. If possible, it might even take a bath. This level of activity is much higher than I imagined.

Having gained the upper hand, we must seize this opportunity.

"I was wondering why An Qing is always so cheerful. I never expected that she could enjoy such care at home all the time. It's truly enviable."

"Senior, don't tell anyone about what happened today..."

Su Che realized that his daily routine had been leaked and felt quite uneasy.

Yu tide only touched on the point and didn't mean any threat. Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and she wouldn't lose anything. She might as well continue to stack a few buffs now, and then adjust his condition to the best and devour him in one go.

"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about. Alright, it's getting late, the driver is already waiting for me downstairs. Junior, I'll be going now, we can talk about it on the appointed day."

She packed her things, and without needing to be asked to stay, she turned around and left gracefully.

Su Che watched Yu tide's figure disappear from his front door, and the anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.

"Cheche, she didn't climb into bed to touch you last night, did she?"

"How could that be? In such a small place, you can hear any noise. Besides, senior sister isn't small, so she can't operate me like Miya does."

"Really? But I feel like... it's a bit strange that she didn't do anything."

An Qing still had some doubts.

"Maybe they didn't have any ulterior motives? Don't always assume such things about people."

Su Che said calmly.

The house cat pouted and declared, "She's not lewd, I am."

After all,

She snuggled up to someone again and cuddled with him in bed for a while until the kitten was woken up, at which point she finally stopped.

-

At 9 a.m., Su Che got up and got ready.

When asked about his schedule for the day, he said he would buy some supplements before his part-time job to prepare for his upcoming big plans.

Upon hearing this, An Qing understood almost instantly. She tenderly patted the man's head and asked, "Have you been working too hard lately? You haven't even had a chance to recover..."

Su Che didn't answer, only gave a bitter smile.

Following the contact number provided by Mr. Fang, we added the friend on Fetion, obtained the store's location, and arranged a time to visit.

Today, he has decided to spend 3000 yuan to buy some aphrodisiac supplements to simply boost his virility.

Around 9:30, he successfully left home and headed to a large tea wholesale market called "Northern Tea City".

In Tianhai, these trade zones are generally far from the city center. After all, the space is large, the rent is high, and the goods sold are all sold in large quantities. Therefore, the shops inside are divided into cubicles, which can reduce rental costs.

Su Che went to find C206, which was saved on his phone.

As soon as you enter the gate, the aroma of tea that hits you instantly clears your mind and dispels the drowsiness and confusion of the past few days.

A strange feeling spread throughout his body, making him feel that he might be in good condition.

As I walked forward, I heard the shouts of vendors from both sides.

"Black tea, green tea, dark tea, flower tea, whatever tea you want, we have it. Young man, would you like to try some tea? It's free."

"No need, thank you."

At first, Su Che would politely decline.

He later discovered that the more polite he was, the more customers would approach him and strike up a conversation.

"Oh, if you're not busy, come and sit for a while. Auntie will brew you a pot of something strong. You'll definitely feel something different!"

"Really, you don't need to."

He immediately fled the area and ran towards the elevator entrance deeper inside.

As the name suggests, C206 is located in Section C on the second floor, stall number 6.

After going around in circles, Su Che finally found the teahouse run by an old man with white hair.

Unlike the tea stalls downstairs, this shop, in addition to tea, also displayed many burlap sacks filled with things like goji berries, dried tangerines, red dates, and rock sugar.

Su Che looked closely and saw that the huge wooden cabinet against the wall behind the old man was covered with white paper strips similar to those found in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, with the names of various medicinal materials written in calligraphy, including deer antler.

"!"

[Indeed extraordinary.]

Grandpa Fang's recommendation caught his eye.

He immediately went up and sat in the guest seat.

"Hello, I made an appointment by phone beforehand and wanted to come over to buy some health supplements."

He focused his gaze on the shopkeeper.

The shop owner was an elderly man with a white beard, probably no less than 75 years old, and looked much older than the robust Mr. Fang.

If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "ethereal and otherworldly."

It's truly baffling that an elderly man like this runs a stall in the tea city.

"Oh, young friend Su. I've kept you waiting."

The old man's words were so weighty that Su Che was taken aback. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had come to some immortal sect to buy magical artifacts.

He looked up at the sign, wanting to double-check that he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

as predicted--

The four large characters "协袖茶案" (Xiexiu Tea Table) are engraved in the center of the signboard, which sounds a bit strange at first glance.

"I was introduced by Grandpa Fang. I want to buy some health supplements."

Su Che got straight to the point.

"Ok."

The old man smiled and gestured for Su Che to raise his hand, saying, "Young friend, our tea shop has a rule that we select tea according to the customer's pulse. This is our specialty. Would you please let me, Wang, take your pulse?"

"Ah, there's such a rule..."

Su Che was puzzled, yet also found it novel.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement, rolled up his sleeves, and placed his wrist on the pad on the table, waiting for the old man to take his pulse.

"I, Wang, have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, which is why I opened this shop to benefit the working class. I am an old acquaintance of Lao Fang. Since he introduced you here, I will do my best to help you choose a good tea to relieve fatigue and replenish your yang energy."

"!"

Su Che was startled, thinking to himself, "I haven't even said what kind of tea I want to buy yet, how could he know that I need to replenish my yang energy?"

I couldn't help but feel even greater awe for this white-haired old man, and I started to take him more seriously.

Logically speaking, the old man's shop shouldn't be called a tea shop, because he wasn't selling ordinary tea like the ones downstairs, but rather "medicinal tea."

Medicinal tea differs from regular tea in that it contains Chinese medicinal herbs, which, when consumed, have a regulating effect on the body.

Of course, most medicinal teas don't taste very good, so this is another story.

"Young friend, your health condition... is somewhat dangerous."
