In the dimness, she heard Shang Hexing say to Kong Ci,"Little Master, could you please pour a glass of water?"
Kong Ci got up to pour the water.
It took less than half a minute for Kong Ci to bring the water to Wen Zhi. Shang Hexing said, "Thank you, Little Master."
Kong Ci shook his head nonchalantly.
Wen Zhi had stopped coughing by then, but she kept her face buried on the table and refused to lift her head. After a while, Kong Ci asked, "Patroness, are you alright?"
Wen Zhi suddenly raised her head, "I'm fine."
Shang Hexing's lips curved in a smile, but he remained silent.
At that moment, Kong Ci said, "You've been coughing continuously. Your relative has taken good care of you."
Wen Zhi pursed her lips tightly and turned her face slightly away, silently picking up her bowl and chopsticks again.
Then Kong Ci mentioned, "Patroness, on the day you first arrived, I happened to be outside the Guest Hall and overheard the receptionist monk asking you about your troubles."
