Ye Youyou's body was wound up tight. She was feeling extremely nervous. If Li Xiao opened his mouth to say a word, she didn't think she would be able to immediately react. This was very likely soon to be her father-in-law.
Li Xiao raised his cup of tea. He looked at it and sniffed it. He asked, "You poured it from the gaiwan*?
Ye Youyou's heartbeat sped up. Her nerves felt out of control. She nodded her head and replied, "Yes… Because the tasting cups were a little small, I poured it into the mug instead."
"Why didn't you brew it out here instead?" he asked.
"I…" Ye Youyou was at a loss.
"Because I didn't bring it out," Li Jinnan interrupted. "I mean… The coffee table is full of stuff, and I hadn't had the time to tidy it up. She just came back today."
"You just came today?" Li Xiao asked as he looked at Ye Youyou.
Ye Youyou was suddenly praying that the marks on her neck wouldn't be too obvious.
