"Ah, just when I was starting to feel better, I was making a call to you when a car came flying towards me. I barely missed being hit," Wang Xijia said, still somewhat shaken by the experience.
"Ah! Quick, drink some milk tea to calm your nerves!" Song Qian'ai hurriedly pushed a cup of milk tea in front of her.
Wang Xijia laughed out loud upon hearing this, giving her friend across the table a teasing stare. She had never heard of milk tea being used to soothe nerves—clearly, it was meant to be a joke.
But she was indeed thirsty, so she started drinking without hesitation.
Song Qian'ai gave her a look and then slowly began to speak, "Tang Tang called me earlier; she found out about our restaurant's poor performance and that it's close to shutting down."
"How did she find out? Did you tell her?" asked Wang Xijia.
