"I— " Bai Lan almost immediately eyed Mo Li, hoping to gain a reaction from him. Was he going to acknowledge her presence and give her a bowl of food?
"Sister Lan…." Li Yue interrupted her stupor. "You should go get yourself some food. You know…. I feel extra hungry today. Turns out teaching is not an easy job."
Bai Lan swallowed her nonexistent saliva. This is bullying! This woman is trying to bully her! "Then… then… I will go get some food. But… since you're hungry… would you like me to get you some more food?"
"Ahhhh? You have more?" Li Yue beamed. "Then… I hope Sister Lan won't mind. Do get me another bowl." She then went back to eating her fill until Bai Lan left them.
"She must be planning to poison your food." Mo Li said. "You shouldn't eat it."
"How can you tell?"
"She did it once before."
