After Xu Yun finished eating, he asked, "You didn't even try it yourself before giving it to me?"
"No, I wanted you to be the first to taste it."
Xino asked nervously, "Is it not good?"
"Not at all."
Xu Yun smiled. "It's great. It fills your mouth with the fragrance of osmanthus."
"You're not lying to me?"
"I'm not."
Xu Yun handed her the piece he had half-eaten. "If you don't believe me, try it yourself."
Xino took a bite, and her eyes instantly curved into crescent moons.
She said happily, "I can't believe I succeeded on my first try. It's really delicious."
And so...
The two sat in the pavilion, watching the koi fish, drinking tea, and eating osmanthus cakes, feeling utterly content.
"Xu Yun, you went out to buy a car today. Did you get it?"
"I did."
Xu Yun asked, "The car is in the garage right now. Want me to take you for a spin tonight?"
"Let's skip the drive."
