Quan Tianyou left to settle the bill, and Su Liuying looked across at Tony, raising her teacup and said, "Tony, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine—as a way to welcome and cleanse you of the dust of travel!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Tony raised his teacup and clinked it against hers, taking a sip. Setting down the cup, she began to speak, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I'll be leaving first! You and Lee Ya continue eating! I've already settled the bill!"
A fleeting look of disappointment appeared in Tony's eyes, but he quickly masked it. He smiled and replied, "Liuying, if you're feeling unwell, you should go home and rest! Don't worry about me; I'll head home after I finish eating too. Thanks for inviting me here for snacks tonight!"
"It's the least I could do as a friend! It's just that I'm not quite myself tonight and haven't been able to host you properly, but I'll make it up to you another time!"
