Yagyuu Kentaro didn't speak, instead lighting a kerosene lamp on his own and then drawing a pot of water with a bamboo scooper, which he placed on the lamp to boil.
From a cabinet nearby, he took out a chunk of tea, crumbled it, and set it aside: "This is the finest Oolong from China, a gift from an old friend of mine who is probably dead by now."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" William Cole frowned.
Yagyuu Kentaro was not in a rush at all, he continued to prepare the tea leisurely: "Patience is a virtue."
"Once you become too impatient, life will turn out like this teapot, and the taste will simply be off."
William Cole maintained his frown but said nothing more.
Seeing Yagyuu Kentaro's demeanor, it seemed that he wouldn't say much until the tea was ready, so William Cole decided not to ask any more questions and waited in silence.
Seeing that William Cole had quickly calmed down, Yagyuu Kentaro showed a hint of approval: "Good, you learn fast."
