Qiao Nian’s phone kept ringing along the way. The boss brought out the freshly cut lamb when they arrived at the dining area. The hot bone soup in the pot was boiling.

Qiao Nian crossed her legs and replied to the messages on her phone.

Ye Wangchuan poured her a cup of strong tea; the tea leaves floated in the ginger water. He placed the teacup in front of the girl, restrained his noble aura, and said gently, “Drink some water before eating. It’s good for your stomach.”

Qiao Nian had just replied to Jiang Li’s message when she reached out to pick up the teacup. She took a sip and put the cup down.

She looked up and asked him in surprise, “What tea is this?”

“Jun Shan Silver Needle Tea.” Ye Wangchuan smiled and ironed her chopsticks in hot water before handing them over. “Does it not taste as bitter as other tea leaves?”

Qiao Nian took another sip and slowly placed the teacup on the table. She hummed and said lazily and arrogantly, “Ah. I knew it was different from the tea I drank before.”

“Yes, this is produced by the tea tree in the boss’s hometown. He goes back every year during the tea gathering season. He handled everything from picking tea leaves to roasting them.”

Qiao Nian picked up the teacup and sniffed it again. As expected, the fragrance of tea greeted her.

Her eyes darkened.

No wonder, she thought. It’s new tea.

Many people liked to look at the variety of tea leaves, but it had to be new no matter how expensive the tea was.

When she heard Ye Wangchuan say that this was new tea, she took another casual sip like a cat before putting the cup down again.

Ye Wangchuan smiled upon seeing that she liked the tea. Her sitting posture was similar to Qiao Nian’s but slightly more upright. “The tea here is one of the boss’s specialties. It hadn’t been produced yet the last time I brought you here.”

As he spoke, the girl’s phone lit up again.

Qiao Nian’s shoulders relaxed as she leaned against the stool. Her gaze returned to her phone. She picked it up and opened the message.

This time, it was still the person who had sent her a WeChat message.

There was no name.

Not even a Chinese character.

The ID was all blank.

It was just a punctuation mark.

.: [You’re not someone who will suddenly change your habits. I heard that you’ve meddled in many things this year. Previously, I could figure out that it was related to the Qiao family when you took the College Entrance Examination. Why did you participate in this World Software Competition this time?]

Qiao Nian frowned after reading the other party’s message, feeling quite annoyed.

She turned back and said there was no reason, she just suddenly wanted to do it.

However, Lu Zhi liked to get to the bottom of things!

What was wrong with him?

He had a hundred thousand whys?

.: [I believe that there’s a reason for everything. No one will do something aimlessly. So, Qiao, why are you participating?]

Qiao Nian frowned as she stared at the new message. Her fingers curled around the screen as she thought about how to reply to him.

She pursed her moist lips for a full minute before replying.

[QN: I want to be number one in the world.]

[QN: Is that a good enough reason?]

The other party did not respond after the message was returned. There was no new message, and she did not know if he had seen her reply.

Qiao Nian stopped looking at her phone after replying. She picked up her chopsticks and focused on eating the lamb that Ye Wangchuan had cooked for her.
