After the dance ended, the two returned upstairs while others continued dancing. Gong Zhen gave Morin a glance, and Morin brought over two glasses of warm water, offering them, "Young Master, Miss Anning, have some water to quench your thirst."
Wei Anning looked at the two glasses of water on the tray in his hand and raised her head to look at Gong Ting. If he hadn't reminded her just now, she certainly wouldn't have been on guard.
She reached out and took a glass of water, saying, "Thank you!"
Gong Ting took the remaining glass of water, holding it without drinking, and Morin, unable to urge them, showed nothing conspicuous, retreating quietly.
Gong Ting turned his head to look at Wei Anning; she was holding the glass without drinking either. He discreetly took the glass from her, saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the restroom just now?"
Wei Anning knew he was helping her out of the situation. She nodded with a smile, then politely excused herself.
