Date with Zhang Mei [I]
"A reward?"
Xie Qing looked skeptically at Zhang Mei, who, overcoming her embarrassment, still asked about the reward.
"Indeed. You have helped me a lot, and it would be too awkward for me not to give you something in return. Besides, I always adhere to the policy of equal exchange, which is why I am asking what you would like," Zhang Mei said sincerely, sipping her tea.
They were in her private estate, located high in the mountains and accessible only to a select few. Sitting on the balcony at a round table, the two were drinking tea with desserts.
Xie Qing chuckled, thoughtfully tapping on the table, which coincidentally matched the rhythm of Zhang Mei's heartbeat, as she began to imagine something.
