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

Jiang Yuezhu was always the quiet type who didn't say a word at home. Who would have thought that after Christmas, she seemed to have turned on a switch and completely changed... becoming what she called a "casual person".

Sizzle~

"Junior, how is it? My flower tea smells wonderful, doesn't it?"

"Um……"

Yu tide and I sat together on the rooftop in the early morning, waiting for the sunrise.

The weather was slightly cool. At the outdoor tea table, Yu tide, covered with a thin blanket, smiled and looked at her junior classmate beside her.

"I've already bought Yuezhu's time, so I'm very happy that you can stay with me today and tomorrow."

"Huh? Buy..."

Upon hearing this, Su Che was somewhat surprised, "In that case, it's not quite right..."

"Haha, actually, I just asked her to come downstairs to pick you up, just to give her a chance to make a move. Now that the opportunity has been given, whether she seizes it or not, as the host, I've done my best. So, junior, you don't need to worry about the rules here anymore. Our time is simply our time."

As if she knew everything, Yu tide smiled mysteriously, picked up the exquisitely carved teacup, and took a sip of jasmine tea.

"I see."

Su Che was once again impressed by his senior's thoughtfulness and curious about how she could maintain such a broad mind.

I couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you always this lenient with the maids in your house?"

"Huh."

Yu tide smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Junior, I think if you switched places with me, you would probably end up in a more miserable and lonely position than those unknown maids in this huge harem."

"Huh? Is it that exaggerated?" Su Che didn't believe it.

"Of course, you should know that my kindness to Yuezhu is, in effect, equivalent to my kindness to you. She appreciates my kindness and naturally feels indebted to me, so she can transfer more resources to me without any complaints."

I've provided you two with some space, so you won't think I'm being petty or narrow-minded, junior. That way, after watching the sunrise, you won't be exhausted and have to pretend to be tired while welcoming the sunset. Hmm? Doesn't what I said make sense?"

"!"

For a moment, Su Che couldn't tell what kind of technique his senior was using or how many blows her killing move had. He only felt an overwhelming aura suppressing him, leaving him with no way to refute her.

"Indeed..."

Upon closer reflection, as the initiator of "Seven Colors," she has never done anything that has troubled her. Even in a large family with many cats, she is quite generous and sensible, and would never be petty with her juniors.

The employer-employee relationship that originally existed between Su Che and Xiao Xiao was resolved peacefully after Xiao Xiao moved into her room. The two women were able to live under the same roof without fighting or arguing, which was something Su Che had not expected.

"Senior, when I first met you, I always thought you were the kind of delicate, aloof, and unapproachable type... It seems that my stereotype of rich girls was too strong."

"Not really."

Yu Xi smiled slightly. "It's true that others think I'm aloof and unapproachable, but you think I'm not aloof at all, that I'm 'cold on the outside but warm on the inside,' because I'm only close to you. Well, that depends on the person."

"..."

Su Che suddenly realized that, just like how he treated Xiang Xuechuan, he couldn't possibly be as close to the kittens like Miya and Yuan Xiao around him.

When it comes to relationships, the tone is often set from the very first impression.

Initial attraction begins with looks, rises with value, and declines as the novelty wears off. Fortunately, with Su Che, Yu tide will never experience that initial excitement.

The CD looping system at home made her incredibly eager, and she longed to have more interaction with him.

"Today, although it's a big day for our date, my plans are quite simple—to have tea with my junior, watch the sunrise, have breakfast, and then sleep soundly together. We'll hug each other tightly and see what sweet dreams we have. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Su Che hesitated to speak.

I feel like my senior is very artistic; she can say "I want to sleep with you" in such a poetic way...

"Hmm... that's fine."

He could only nod, showing no sign of objection.

If he had to create a ranking table of his favorability, Yu tide would definitely be in the top tier.

The "Seven Colors" team consists of regular internal cats. At first, it's not obvious what's going on, but the more Su Che goes on, the more he will cherish these good cats.

In today's society, someone who can accompany you from obscurity to fame, from nothing to some success, can almost be considered "true love."

However, most people don't encounter such a person of the opposite sex, and most such people have overly obvious ulterior motives.

An Qing's obedience, Yuan Xiao's hard work, Gu Zhi's composure, the senior's reliability, and even Xiao Xiao's occasional annoyances all made Su Che feel that his team was "alive," that everyone in the team could support each other, gradually understand each other, and eventually reach the end.

It's often said that "a band that lasts a lifetime is impossible," but in Su Che's eyes, as long as a bond can be woven and tied tightly, binding everyone's fates together, then it's not entirely impossible to spend one's entire life through music.

"Senior, what are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm... Let me think. If music is no longer the main focus of my life, then I will return home after graduating with my master's degree and devote myself entirely to being a good wife and mother..."

"...Wait, where did this come from?" Su Che's eyes widened.

"Isn't it going to be here soon? Did you just give me those two days for nothing, junior?"

Yu tide blinked, her cunning intentions completely obvious. "Or is it that you think the tea I provided isn't fragrant enough to achieve your goal of leaving something behind?"

She paused, then turned her gaze to his bag. "If that's the case, why don't you... junior take the initiative and brew a few pots of your own tea, have a few sips, and then we'll talk? I'd also like to try it out and see what it tastes like."

I heard this tea is very expensive; even my junior is reluctant to buy it in unlimited quantities. But if my junior is willing to let me try some, then as for the funds… hmph…”

When it comes to intelligence, no one can compare to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao had been living in her senior's room for a while... she was her roommate.

So, it's only a matter of time before Xiaoxiao is lured in by the "temptation of money" from her senior.

Su Che sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. It seemed that the matter of the medicinal tea could no longer be kept secret.

"Senior, why are you so curious about unknown drinks?"

"Of course, I heard it all. Jiang Nai was bragging to me last time that I had no idea what 'celestial bliss' was. I asked her if she knew, and she proudly gave me a 'V' sign and mysteriously uttered a quantifier—'two cups of tea.' I was really curious about that."

"..."

It turns out that the root of all evil is Nana.

That's bad, I really need to keep an eye on her in a few days.

"Alright, since you insist..."

Su Che took the black landmine handbag onto his lap and unzipped it—

The high-end thermos cup placed on top inside was revealed.

"We don't have any second cup of tea, but we have prepared one. If you'd like to try some, I can share half a cup with you."

"Just half a cup?"

"Yeah. Because I still have to drink half a glass myself, otherwise I'll end up in the hospital again."

"?! Then, will half a cup be effective?" Yu tide feigned curiosity and continued to guide her.

"You'll know whether it works or not once you experience it for yourself."

"Okay! Junior, then hand me the cup."

As she spoke, she reached out her snow-white arm and took his precious thermos from Su Che, who was still hesitating.

The next second, she unscrewed the lid, turned the cup upside down, then unscrewed the insulated opening and peeked inside.

The teapot was full; it had been brewed beforehand and was still warm.

She hummed in agreement, seemingly very satisfied.

He immediately used the lid as a cup and poured himself a full cup.

Su Che: "Half a cup is enough! Senior, you should only drink half a cup at most!"

"Ok."

Yu tide let it go in one ear and out the other. She said "okay" and nodded, but then downed the whole cup of herbal tea in one gulp!

Su Che frowned deeply, sensing that this was very bad, but the next moment, something even more unexpected happened!

Yu tide's movements suddenly accelerated!

Just as he was about to reach for the cup back, she brought the tea from the thermos directly to her sip, skipping the step of pouring it into the cup, and drank the rest of the herbal tea right there and then!

"Ugh!"

"?!"

"The taste wasn't great, but it had a lot of layers of flavor; it was rich, thick, and heavy, like drinking Chinese medicine."

Yu tide's pretty face showed no remorse for her mistake. Instead, she handed the empty thermos back to Su Che, feeling the warmth in her abdomen as she smiled and said, "Junior, I'm sorry, it was too delicious, so I didn't save any for you. But don't worry, I'll pay three times the price for this cup of herbal tea. How does that sound?"

"...It's not about the money! Senior, if you keep going like this, tonight..."

Are you saying you're worried my body can't handle it?

Yu tide had long known about the "therapeutic effects" of tea, and said meaningfully, "In ancient times, there was a saying that if a person takes a spring medicine and does not find a suitable way to release it, they will suffer internal injuries due to unfulfilled desires, and eventually die from their body exploding."

I figured my junior's herbal tea probably had a similar effect.

Now that I've drunk so much, if I don't get a proper release, the strong effects of the drug will definitely ruin my body, and in the end, I'll become a cold, beautiful corpse in front of my junior.

Junior, with your kind heart, you probably wouldn't want me, who has doted on you so much, to close my eyes forever like this, would you?

"...You're too much, you're trying to trick me again."

Su Che gritted his teeth, wanting to lash out but unable to.

"Where? I was just craving it. Besides, if I don't do it this way, my junior will most likely slack off, just say he's tired after a few perfunctory words, and then turn over and take a nap, wasting all his precious time. I can't stand for that."

Yu tide's breathing became uneven, and her cheeks visibly turned pink, clearly indicating that the effects of the drug were spreading and she was feeling a bit tipsy.

Su Che had mixed feelings, knowing that he had no chance of escaping today.

He had long known that herbal tea was a double-edged sword.

I have no choice but to use it myself, since I have many cats at home. If I didn't use it, how could kidneys sustain my life to such an extent?

It's very likely that it's even worse than the old man's; he probably broke it right away, rendering it unusable.

Now that I have Mr. Wang's help, I only need to provide a sum of money to get such great results. It would be a lie to say that I'm not addicted.

However, it had its own reasons, but the senior cat or the other cats did not have its reasons!

Their craving for tea is simply a desire to experience more pleasure and greater enjoyment! It's not because they feel compelled to drink it out of necessity!
