Chapter 201

The tea house opened by the age-gap couple is one of the most famous attractions in this resort village. Many people list it as a must-visit spot in the village.

Yi Tiantian and his two assistants were just as curious as everyone else, so the three of them decided to take a short break and then head over to experience it for themselves.

The mountain scenery was beautiful, with overlapping peaks and lush trees, truly a great place for a vacation. Since it was the off-season for tourism, there weren’t many tourists.

Therefore, when Yi Tiantian and the other two assistants arrived at the tea house, there were very few people inside enjoying desserts and tea. Most of them were fans who had found out about Yi Tiantian’s itinerary and those who wanted to make a wish to Master Yi.

The entire tea house was elegantly styled in a traditional Chinese theme, with a large number of bamboo elements. The tables and chairs woven from special bamboo strips, as well as the wall hangings, were all crafted using bamboo weaving techniques.

Moreover, a faint fragrance lingered in the air of the tea house, creating a peaceful atmosphere like the gently flowing mountain spring water.

Behind the bamboo-made counter stood a slender woman wearing an elegant green cheongsam. Although her face showed the marks of age, her rosy complexion suggested she was deeply content with life.

Next to her was a young man dressed in a white hoodie, who looked like a college student.

As soon as Yi Tiantian entered, he saw the two of them. At first glance, they could have passed for mother and son, but there was something more in the way they looked at each other.

"So, this is what the real-life couple looks like!"

"I have to say, they don’t look like a couple at all..."

"Hmm... we’ve got to find out what shocking secret this couple is hiding!"

Yueyue and Yangyang followed behind Yi Tiantian, exchanging a glance, their curiosity piqued.

Indeed, things were not that simple!

Yi, as usual, picked up on the situation right away!

Since most of the customers present were fans, and the age-gap couple had never been involved in the entertainment industry, no one else heard Yi Tiantian’s thoughts.

However, the fans who were chatting and drinking tea in the tea house soon spotted Yi Tiantian with their sharp eyes. They all gasped in surprise, covering their mouths, their faces lighting up with excitement.

Some of the more socially bold fans directly ran towards Yi Tiantian at the door, rushing over excitedly.

"Master Yi, we love you!!"

"I didn’t expect to see you here, ahhhhh, Yi look at me!!"

"Master Yi, I’m moving soon, can you bless me for everything to go smoothly?! Thank you, Master Yi!!!"

As some fans were too excited and started to crowd towards Yi Tiantian, Yangyang, who was quick-witted and had fast reflexes, immediately stepped in front and blocked them.

Though Yangyang dressed casually, his well-toned physique, thanks to regular workouts, was just as impressive as any professional bodyguard’s.

Ultimately, the fans didn’t manage to touch Yi Tiantian. Facing Yi Tiantian, Yangyang smiled shyly.

Yi Tiantian didn’t think much of it, as this was also part of Yangyang’s duties as an assistant.

However, Yueyue keenly sensed the extra affection in Yangyang’s eyes.

Something’s not right!

Yueyue narrowed her eyes and observed closely.

Yi Tiantian was taken aback by the fans' enthusiasm but quickly composed himself, smiling and waving to the fans.

But with so many fans swarming around, Yi Tiantian found himself completely overwhelmed by the crowd, forced to play the role of a wish-granting turtle, listening to their heartfelt wishes.

"I hope to score perfectly in the future! And guess all the answers correctly!"

"Mr. Yi, can you bless me so that the dresses I buy will always fit, so I won't have to return them!"

"Mr. Yi, can you wish me success in getting my favorite styles every time I open a blind box? This is really important to me!"

"Ahhhh! My biggest wish is to grow two centimeters taller, Mr. Yi. Do you think you could make that happen for me?"

"And me! I really hope the couple I ship is real!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked curiously, "So, which couple do you ship?"

"Of course, it's Mr. Yi and Actor Fei! They must be real!"

When Yi Tiantian overheard the fans talking, his heart skipped a beat, but then a warm feeling spread through him. He hadn't expected that anyone would ship him and Actor Fei as a couple!

However, the fans' hopes might be in vain, as Yi Tiantian and Actor Fei were just good friends, with no romantic developments on the horizon.

"Besides, Actor Fei used to like Gang Fengxing, and I'm not the same type as Gang Fengxing at all, so he probably won't like me..."

Yi Tiantian thought, and his expression became a little gloomy.

Yueyue felt a pang of frustration. She wished she could tell Yi that everyone liked him, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

Yang Yang's expression, however, was harder to read.

A strange light suddenly flashed in his deep eyes but quickly disappeared, returning to normal.

Just then, a soft, welcoming voice floated out from inside the tea house, reaching Yi Tiantian's ears.

"Welcome, welcome! We're so glad to have you at our Late Sunset Tea House."

Without a doubt, Yi Tiantian knew that the boss lady had arrived.

She wore a dark green cheongsam, with a gentle smile on her face, and her voice, though not loud, could be clearly heard amidst the noisy wishes.

Yi Tiantian's eyes met the boss lady's warm, though slightly weathered, gaze through the crowd, and he managed a slightly awkward smile.

"Please make way, don't disturb our customers from dining, excuse me..."

Then, a friendly male voice called out from behind the crowd. It was the young man in the white hoodie, the boss lady's husband.

The young man, full of youthful vitality, squeezed a bright smile on his face and also looked towards Yi Tiantian, who was in the center of the crowd.

Realizing they might be causing a disturbance, the fans quickly dispersed, stopping their enthusiastic wishing.

Finally, Yang Yang could lower his hands, which had been protectively shielding Yi Tiantian.

"You must be Mr. Yi, right?"

The boss lady stepped forward, smiling as she greeted Yi Tiantian.

Yi Tiantian nodded slightly in response, "Yes, I am Yi Tiantian. It's a pleasure to come to your tea house. The style here is really great, and the atmosphere is perfect for tea drinking."

"To be honest, I didn't come here for the tea. I'm here to get to the bottom of your age-gap romance!"

Although he was smiling on the surface, Yi Tiantian was actually preparing himself to open the rumor system at any moment and get to the bottom of the age-gap romance between the couple. He wanted to find out why, despite a whopping 40 to 50-year age gap, they could still live together so happily.

Yueyue and Yang Yang were even more excited, as it had been a long time since they’d experienced the thrill of gossiping in person!

Now they finally had the chance to feel the joy of digging into the drama again!

But the couple had no idea Yi Tiantian was there to uncover the truth behind their age-gap romance. They were still earnestly hosting Yi Tiantian, Yueyue, and Yang Yang.

"Three of you, right? Please follow me."

Led by the guy in the white sweatshirt, Yi Tiantian and his two assistants settled into a cozy corner near the window, where the view of the dense, green forest outside made the space feel even more peaceful.

Facing the window, Yi Tiantian first admired the beautiful scenery and then decided to start his investigation without delay.

"Let me see what's really going on!"

Both Yueyue and Yang Yang’s eyes lit up.

But just as Yi Tiantian was about to dive into the drama, he was interrupted again.

The guy in the white sweatshirt had brought over a menu and, with a posture that said "I'm going to take good care of you today," smiled and bowed slightly. "What can I get for you guys? All our tea comes from the best local plantations—no additives, just pure, healthy goodness."

Yi Tiantian had to pause his investigation and, out of politeness, picked up the menu to choose a tea.

Since Yi Tiantian wasn’t very knowledgeable about tea, he casually chose a black tea that looked nice in color.

"I'll have this one."

The two assistants followed Yi Tiantian’s lead and picked the same tea. As the server began a lengthy speech about the tea, Yi Tiantian’s attention started to drift, and he once again felt the urge to open the system.

But just as he was about to do so, his thoughts were interrupted again!

This time, it wasn’t because of the server, but a large group of people who suddenly arrived outside the teahouse.

And Yi Tiantian had just met them that morning.

They were the crew members of *Forbidden Love*, led by Director Xiao He. Behind her were the two main actors. Gang Fengxing looked tense, his brow furrowed like he was carrying the weight of the world.

Behind the main actors was a group of staff members.

"Why is the whole crew here? Shouldn’t they be filming right now??"

Yi Tiantian looked toward the door and noticed that Director Xiao He, who had been dressed up beautifully just hours earlier, now had her hair disheveled, looking as if she had just woken up from a noon nap.

Gang Fengxing wasn’t in a much better state, as he was tightly furrowing his brows, as if deep in thought.

But as soon as everyone caught wind of Yi Tiantian’s thoughts, they all perked up and scanned the room.

When Gang Fengxing spotted Yi Tiantian, his frown melted away, replaced by a warm smile that lit up the room. He practically bounced over, his energy radiating like a happy puppy.

"Tiantian Ge, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that everyone had discovered him, Yi Tiantian had no choice but to wave at the crew and smile in response. "I didn’t expect us to meet here."

"But I'm here to spill the beans on this couple. What are you all doing here?!?"

The previously tired crew members had their eyes light up instantly upon hearing the juicy gossip from Yi Tiantian's inner voice.

It's the scent of drama!!!

"No stopping me now—I'm opening the rumor system!!"

Yi Tiantian decided to dig into this gossip before anyone interrupts him!

"Turns out, this age-gap couple is totally fake!"

"They're not actually a couple, and the way they met is seriously weird..."
