He Xinyan nodded her head and looked over at the paper bag near the table, "Well. . . I. . . I got a little hungry yesterday night, and I. . . I might have accidentally eaten the sunflower seeds."
". . ."
An awkward silence drifted upon them for several seconds before Yi Qiansi cleared his throat and nodded his head softly, "I'll go check if they bought extra seeds."
He left the room and after a few minutes, he came back with a new bag of sunflower seeds.
He gave it to her and she grabbed onto it before jumping off the bed and walking over to the door with Yi Qiansi behind her.
Outside, they switched positions and He Xinyan followed Yi Qiansi through the palace grounds. As they walked this time, she memorized every twist and turn that they made so she would know how to reach the door if she ever needed it.
When they were outside, she saw a pair of working boots, work gloves, a sun hat, and a shovel outside.
