Wei Qiansi excused himself, leaving some servants behind while fawningly said that he would see them tomorrow. Mo Yujian waved his hand to dismiss him and lowered Ouyang Xueqing down into one of the seats while he himself pulled the other chair close to her and sat down.
Once there was food, Ouyang Xueqing took no notice of everything else.
Mo Yujian ladled a bowl of soup for her, gently told her to drink it first. Then, while Ouyang Xueqing sipped on the chicken soup, Mo Yujian put dishes into her plate, one by one, choosing the one that she would like to eat, he even deboned the fish for her.
He forgot to eat himself and served Ouyang Xueqing wholeheartedly.
Only after Ouyang Xueqing was half full did her senses return, she looked at him guiltily. "You're not eating?"
Mo Yujian wiped the rice sticking to the corner of her lips, asking back. "Full already? Eat more. You have become thinner."
