Aunt Liu took the cup; she was really thirsty. She held the cup and took a shallow sip. "Hey, why does this taste weird?"
"Really? Does it taste weird?" He turned back and asked Jian Yanyan, "The water was cut off at home, so I used the water from a basin nearby to make tea for Aunt Liu. What kind of water was that?"
While asking, he winked at Jian Yanyan.
"Oh, that? That's the water I used to wash my hands yesterday. Since the water was cut off, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough to flush the toilet, so I kept it. Why didn't you ask me? Using that to make tea for Aunt Liu, you really are..."
Before Jian Yanyan could finish, Aunt Liu retched a few times towards the trash can.
"Oh dear, Aunt Liu, are you alright?" Jian Yanyan asked with feigned concern.
Su Junhao also apologized anxiously, "Aunt Liu, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that the basin water was left by Yanyan for flushing the toilet."
