She had prepared the water and was bringing it in when Mrs. Han was cutting watermelon. Gu Lanshan noticed that everyone was busy with their own tasks and the teacups were empty. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the kettle and poured water for everyone.
Mrs. Han finished cutting the watermelon and just as she saw Gu Lanshan empty-handed, she started washing apples and said to Gu Lanshan, "Lanshan, take these watermelons over to them."
Gu Lanshan carried the watermelon over. The table was small and cluttered with many documents, leaving no space for her to place the watermelon. She was close to Sheng Shi, which made her feel quite uneasy. While she was figuring out what to do, a hand reached out in front of her. Gu Lanshan looked up, met Sheng Shi's eyes, and hesitated for a moment before quickly lowering her head and handing the plate to Sheng Shi, then turned and quickly walked away.
