Zhang Rongqing gestured for her to sit down first and went into the kitchen to fetch a cup of fruit tea.
"This was just made. Give it a try. It's refreshing on a hot day," Zhang Rongqing placed the cup of fruit tea in front of Lin Gantang.
The transparent glass was filled with a light red drink. There were small drops of cold air condensation on the wall of the glass. There were plums inside and a few mint leaves. It was very refreshing.
Lin Gantang took a sip and then gently placed the cup down, remarking, "It's tangy and sweet, really delightful."
Che Qin took her cup and added, "I made this myself. If Sister Gantang likes it, I'll make more for you after you're finished."
Lin Gantang was somewhat taken aback by Che Qin's culinary skills. Just as she was about to chat with her, Zhang Rongqing had already sat beside her and deliberately diverted Lin Gantang's attention and interest in Che Qin.
