A strong sense of grievance followed.
Her throat felt as if it was burning with a gulp of strong liquor, making her eyes red and teary.
'Ding dong'
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She couldn't control her excitement, lifted her eyelids to look towards the door, and stepped in that direction.
She reached the door and opened it.
"Good evening, Miss Yan."
It was the midnight snack delivery person.
Disappointment flashed in Yan Zao's eyes, but she gave the delivery person a smile and stepped aside to let them in.
The delivery person wheeled in the cart, entered the room, moved to the coffee table, and stopped to take out two familiar boxes of midnight snacks. Then, they took out a thermos.
As Yan Zao eyed the thermos with curiosity, the delivery person pointed to it and said, "This is from Captain Lan for you."
"What?"
Yan Zao, filled with curiosity, walked over, picked up the thermos, and opened it.
A rich scent of brown sugar enveloped her.
Brown sugar water.
