All Taken Down

Candy's attention shifted to her brother's Thermos Cup.

Weird. Were there red tea leaves, too?

Curious, Candy pointed at the Thermos Cup with her little finger and asked, "Brother, I've never seen these tea leaves before. Why are they red?"

When Zhou Yaling finished cooking and turned around, she was stunned.

The basin was
