When Ye Ling heard her, he smiled like he had eaten a candy. Ye Mo, on the other hand, made a face as though she owed him a fortune.
Liu Duo placed the plates on the shelf first. She dragged a giant, round stool to the bedside and placed the plates on top. This way, Ye Ling would not have to get up. Ye Mo gently leaned him against the headboard.
"Ling, come on. Dig in." She passed the chopsticks to Ye Ling.
"Right. Thanks, Duo Er. You and Mo should go eat. Don't worry about me."
"Alright, eat it while it's hot. Call me if you want more," she said, and walked out, completely ignoring Ye Mo.
"Mo, you go ahead. Don't stay with me," Ye Ling reminded Ye Mo, who stood there.
He nodded and turned away. When he got to the table, Ye Liu greeted him before digging in with Liu Duo. There was laughter between the two as they talked.
He ate aside. The food felt totally tasteless.
