Surprising to the maids, Li Shen didn't get mad at Mu Lan. He sat down in the opposite of her and a maid came forward to serve him soup. While eating, both Mu Lan and Li Shen didn't talk but there was a silent pressure hanging in the air. Mu Lan didn't care about Li Shen and he was brooding over it. The maids never had such a stressful experience in their lifetime. They sweated and stood there quietly.
Li Shen finished two bowls of rice and looked at Mu Lan. She was eating without looking at him as though he was invisible. Her eyes darted around everywhere but him who was sitting right in front of her. The food was delicious and she needed to fill her empty stomach. The sight of her eating without caring about the world made Li Shen heart warm. He didn't want to disturb her and kept silent.
