The man's voice was moderate, not too loud or too soft, and the nearby passengers all heard him and turned to look at Tang Xin. Tang Xin's face turned bright red, "What does it matter to you whether I drink a beverage or not?"
"Not only are you disturbing the young lady next to me from reading, you're also interrupting my series. If you like to eat and drink on the airplane, then don't sit on the inside."
After hearing this, Shi Niannian applauded the man inwardly. He had spoken her mind. She was too embarrassed to refuse Tang Xin's requests and could only help her ask for beverages over and over. She was getting annoyed as well.
However, as Tang Xin's traveling companion, she could only speak up for Tang Xin. Shi Niannian cleared her throat and said to the man, "I apologize, sir. My friend might be really thirsty. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
The man glanced at Shi Niannian and said nothing more.
