Chapter 884 Doubt 5
"You go back to the office area and rest. The dew in the garden is heavy in the morning, we’ve got this covered." He Teng patted He Zhilan’s head and felt that indeed, her hair was dripping wet. He became more insistent, "Go and wait outside. Your hair is already dripping water. You might get a headache later!"
"Yeah, sister-in-law, why don’t you wait for us outside? We are grown men, our hair isn’t as long as yours, a wipe and it’s dry, but not for you! Early morning dew is damp and chilly, don’t harm yourself." Kang Xing chimed in from the side, "If you’re here, our deputy commander will be distracted looking after you."
Only then did He Zhilan obediently step outside the garden. What Kang Xing said was not an exaggeration; her hair was indeed wet enough to wring out, all from the morning dew. Touching it, it felt ice cold.
Realizing she couldn’t be of help here, He Zhilan simply returned to the office area. Thinking of the soldiers busy in the Tea Garden, she went straight to the cafeteria and got someone to brew a large pot of ginger tea, hoping that they could have a bowl to drive off the chill after finding the item.
Because no one knew what Niu Rang had left in the Tea Garden, nor what it looked like, and considering the substantial size of the Tea Garden, it took the group from just past six in the morning until almost eleven to retreat.
Having heard from the people in the botanical garden that He Zhilan was at the cafeteria, He Teng went looking for her and from afar, saw He Zhilan holding a bowl of hot tea and chatting. He called out to her from a distance and waved his hand.
"Brother!" As soon as He Zhilan saw him, she hurried over with the bowl, "This is the ginger tea I asked the cafeteria auntie to make. It’s still hot; hurry and have a few sips to warm yourself."
