Lazily Yours.

Chapter 45: Tea

Lyca woke up from someone softly knocking on her door. She yawned before staring at the door, wondering if she should open it or not.

"Hey, it's me." Shen Qui's voice echoed from the other side. Lyca raised an eyebrow before she dragged herself out of the bed. She checked her phone and realized that it was already four in the afternoon. The scheduled time for her challenge to Xie Jun was actually at five.

She had overslept! Lyca didn't even know how she fell asleep. She was only planning to watch some drama series on her bed. She let out a sigh before she opened the door. Shen Qui's smiling face immediately made her suspicious. Why was this man smiling like that? "Hm?"

"I won." He answered. "I made some tea. I also bought the burgers and Fried Chicken." He suddenly pulled her towards the dining table. After winning, Shen Qui was in a very good mood, he already forgot that Lyca saw him naked earlier. "As a way to thank you."

"For what?"

"The pointers." He said as he got a tea cup and poured her some scented tea. "This is the Shen Family's special tea. I am not good at cooking but I am extremely good at making tea." He smiled and poured himself a glass of tea. Then immediately took an elegant sip.

"Tea?" What kind of tea? She wanted to ask, instead, Lyca ended up smelling it instead. "Rose?"

"Yes. It's Rose tea. Try it." Seeing his confident smile, Lyca only raised an eyebrow before sipping the tea. Seeing this, Shen Qui started beaming, he was confident in his tea, alright. This was something that the Shen Family were proud of. "The man earlier fainted. I did what you told me to and made sure to not damage any major organs. Some wounds are inevitable but nothing major."

To be honest, the note that Lyca gave him was a total surprise. It was actually the first time that he saw such detailed notes about someone's weakness. Even the timing of the opponents slash was included as well as their breathing. Everything was so well arranged that he doubted Lyca would be able to do it in one day. However, who was he to ask questions? "Are you ready for your challenge to Young Master Xie?"

Lyca nodded and didn't say anything. Her face was devoid of any expression. "This tea it's from the Shen Family?" For some reason, the tea is very familiar to Lyca.

"Hmm." He nodded. This was something passed down to the men and women of the Shen Family. He lowered his head as he hid the complicated expression in his face. "I'm the only one who knows how to make this type of tea now."

"Oh?" Lyca raised an eyebrow but decided not to say anything. For some reason, she felt that this Shen Qui had a very complicated background. Just the internal energy was enough proof of that. Lyca nodded and continued drinking the sweet tea. "I like it."

"I know you would like it." Since his uncle died, this was the first time that Shen Qui made the tea for someone else and it was because of how grateful he was. During the fight earlier, he realized that the opponent was very skilled. That Master Lin had his own sword style that could easily defeat him without the notes that Lyca had given him. After all, Shen Qui was a soldier. He was not an expert in swords.

Seeing the sincere smile on Shen Qui's face, Lyca frowned and lowered her head to stare at the tea instead. This man seemed innocent and deadly? Such a weird combination. After she finished her tea, Lyca rose from her seat. "I will go change."

"Oh. I will wait for you. Let me accompany you to the arena. It's huge it reminded me of a huge basketball arena but instead of a basketball court there was a huge stage in the middle. They said it was" of course he didn't continue his words when he saw Lyca had already left. A wry smile bloomed on his lips before he looked at the empty teacup The Shen Family's tea cup.

After a few minutes, Lyca went out of her room and the two immediately started walking towards the arena that Shen Qui was speaking about. "Hmm?" Lyca paused when she saw a woman blocking her way.

"Miss Huang?" the woman smiled brilliantly. "Hi, I am Liu Chin from the Liu Family in Xie City." The woman didn't even look at Shen Qui as she continued. "Do you have some time to talk to me?"

"No." Lyca said. The Liu Family and Xie Family of Xie City were known rivals. Only a fool wouldn't understand that this woman was going to make a deal with her to harm Young Master Xie.

Surprise flashed in the woman's beautiful hooded eyes. "Miss Huang."

"No and No." Lyca said before she walked past Liu Chin. Was she really someone that would involve herself in a family war like that?

"You" a man suddenly came towards them. "How dare you disrespect Miss Liu?"

"It's alright." Liu Chin said, an unfathomable expression flashed in her eyes. "I believe Miss Huang is a very cautious person. She can't talk to us in the open. At least not before she's had her challenge with Xie Jun." Slowly her gaze turned cold. She had been debating on approaching Lyca to talk about her challenge to Young Master Xie. After all, the enemy of her enemy was considered her friend. With the current situation of the Liu Family, they would need a strong ally like Lyca. However, at that time, she still wasn't sure of her strength so she hesitated. After knowing the result of the fight between Lyca's bodyguard earlier, Liu Chin's mind became clear. She needed Lyca's help.

But it seems that approaching her right now for the challenge was a little bit late. "I misjudged her." She said. "Let's go and watch the show."

The man nodded and followed Liu Chin towards the Arena. As long as they see Young Master Xie suffer, then the two were willing to forgive the disrespect that Lyca had showed today.
