After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 240 - 165: Boundless Freedom_2

Xia Fanxing was startled, "Does this tea room have your shares?"

Ning Youguang looked at him seriously and shook her head, "Unfortunately, no."

Xia Fanxing had seen her serious demeanor so often, it was rare to see her so relaxed and at ease. If he had relaxed halfway when he first arrived at "Wujian Zizai," now he was completely at ease.

...

Soon, Yu Xian brought out teaware, water, a packet of white tea, and two delicate tea snacks for them.

One plate of osmanthus pastries and one plate of butterfly crisps.

After a few cups of tea, the conversation gradually opened up. Xia Fanxing asked Ning Youguang:

"Why do I feel like learning things is so hard? If what you say is true, why not just tell me how to do it? Wouldn’t that save a lot of time?"

"I don’t know if what you’re saying is certain, but what I can tell you is that no one is forcing you to learn things. I’m just giving you suggestions, encouraging you to grow and improve yourself. All decisions are made by you." Ning Youguang looked intensely at Xia Fanxing.

"What else?" Xia Fanxing, overwhelmed by the recent flood of knowledge he had to absorb, wanted to find something to alleviate his stress from Ning Youguang.

"Also, if there were a better method, I would have told you by now. If I haven’t told you, it’s something you need to explore and verify yourself. I can’t tell you."

"It’s so hard." Xia Fanxing rubbed his face.

"Xia Fanxing, you’re already halfway down this road, there’s no turning back." Ning Youguang said earnestly.

"I don’t understand what you mean." Xia Fanxing covered his face and said, "You’re talking as if I have to make some kind of choice, aren’t you?"

"Yes, how much longer are you going to blame others for your unhappiness?" Ning Youguang asked.

"Do you want me to admit that all of my misfortunes and unhappiness are my own doing?" Xia Fanxing’s emotions crumbled.

"Instead of admitting that all this is your own fault, change your mindset. Would you be willing to take responsibility for all your unhappiness and misfortune?"

After a long silence, Xia Fanxing said, "I don’t understand what good it does me to change my mindset."

"There are great benefits." Ning Youguang picked up her cup and took a sip of tea, "You will realize that you have autonomy over yourself, and you’ll know you have the power to change your circumstances. More importantly, you have the power to change yourself." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Xia Fanxing fell into contemplation.

Ning Youguang asked, "Have you noticed a change in your thinking?"

"A little, but when nothing is going on, that familiar sadness and loneliness come back, making me feel uncomfortable for days. Every time I stay at home, I feel like a sad bird in a cage."

Can I really break free from such a life?

Xia Fanxing wanted to know how Teacher Ning would respond to him.

But Teacher Ning didn’t answer her, instead, she told him, "In the next two weeks, I’ll be going to Qinghai. I’ll be watching sky burials. If you’re interested, message me and I’ll share stories from the road with you."

...

After seeing Xia Fanxing out of "Wujian Zizai," Ning Youguang found Yu Xian, who was making incense in the incense room.

Teacher Ning’s friend, tea room owner Yu Xian, is a tea artist and an incense maker.

"I want to play too." She walked into the incense room and sat down across from Yu Xian.

"The guest left?" Yu Xian paused his actions.

"Yeah, went home." Ning Youguang smiled.

Yu Xian was kneading incense paste in a bowl, "Once I finish kneading this incense paste, you can press it into the incense extruder."

Ning Youguang obediently waited for Yu Xian to finish kneading the paste.

Once Yu Xian had kneaded the paste into a long strip, he gently placed it in her hands.

She then attempted to place the kneaded incense strip into the incense extruder.

Yu Xian gave her an incense pressing tool, which she took and slowly inserted into the incense extruder, then started turning the incense pressing tool.

The thread-like incense paste was slowly extruded from the small holes.

"Line them up on this incense drying rack," Yu Xian patiently instructed from the side.

Ning Youguang followed suit, placing the incense strips back and forth on the drying rack.

Once she had finished arranging all the incense paste on the drying rack.

Yu Xian got up and took a box of tools from a nearby cabinet, including scissors, and incense arranging sticks.

Ning Youguang, under his guidance, began cutting and arranging the incense.

"The arranged incense sticks need to be dried on the rack for two days before they can be used," Yu Xian said, seeing that Ning Youguang had almost finished her work.

As Yu Xian took the drying rack out for drying, Ning Youguang received a message from Shi Wangyue:

[Kid: Sis, where are you? I found a really good barbecue stand, and I want to go eat with you tonight.]

Summer nights and barbecue are a perfect match. Ning Youguang cheerfully sent Shi Wangyue the tea room’s location.

She put down her phone and sniffed her fingertips, "It smells like osmanthus and agarwood."

Yu Xian had just lifted the curtain of the incense room and entered. Hearing her words, he smiled gently, "Yes, the osmanthus in the yard bloomed. A few mornings ago, I woke up, smelled the osmanthus scent, thought it was so aromatic, and decided to use it for incense."

Ning Youguang listened intently, her picturesque eyes full of smiles.

"I made some pure osmanthus incense and found the scent too sweet and cloying, so I thought about what materials could pair with it, conducted many experiments, and finally chose agarwood. After it was done, I tried it and found it quite pleasant."

Ning Youguang showed interest, "Do you have any finished products? Can I smell one?"

"Of course." Yu Xian gracefully stood up.

He picked one from a row of glass bottles containing handmade incense on the windowsill table, drew out a thin stick, lit it, inserted it into an incense holder, and placed it in front of Ning Youguang.

"Smell it and see how you like the scent." 1314
