Despite the sweltering heat, everyone was still bundled up from head to toe, with only their eyes showing, making it impossible to tell who was who.
Everyone had a towel draped over their shoulder, ready to wipe away sweat at any time.
Jiang Jinxiu, who had only brought a water bottle and hadn't prepared anything else, felt a little uneasy seeing this scene and didn't dare to approach.

Yang Dongmei took the kettle and waved her away.
