Since she was feeling out of sorts, Tang Xiaonan had a legitimate reason to stay home and rest. Phoebe Huxley and Felix Thorne stopped mentioning school, and Tang Xiaonan lived a life of pampered luxury, sleeping in and eating only the best. When her second uncle, Frederick Thorne, who lived in town, heard she was under the weather, he made a special trip to bring her a can of malted milk.
In this era, malted milk was as rare as White Rabbit candy, if not more so. You couldn't buy it in town at all. Lana Steiner had brought this batch back from a conference in Vessaria.
For the past few days, Tang Xiaonan got to drink a cup of fragrant, rich malted milk every morning. The taste was completely different from what she'd had in her previous life. The flavor now was so authentic, with a deep, mellow creaminess that was much better than any milk tea.
