Breakfast was still brought to her by her good sister, Xiang Yiren.
"That's enough. There are no outsiders here, so what's there to be embarrassed about? Hurry up and come out for breakfast." Xiang Yiren continued, "And you should drink this brown sugar ginger tea. Whether it's helpful or not, it's a token of Brother Sun's affection. He got up early this morning to brew it for you personally."
Zhong Liying finally poked her head out cautiously, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Thank you, Sister Yiren. I can get it myself. Just set it on the bedside table."
But Xiang Yiren wouldn't listen. She sat down at the head of the bed with the brown sugar ginger tea and fed it to her sip by sip. Seeing the lingering awkwardness in Zhong Liying's expression, she consoled her.
"It's nothing, really. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Do you think you're the only one who's been through this?"
Zhong Liying looked at her in surprise, forgetting to drink the tea.
