Sheng Li, after freshening up, went to the chamber of Ying Lili for dinner. He found Ying Lili was yawning while waiting for him at the dinner table. He went to the table and pulled out a chair for him. Ying Lili was delighted to see him and told the maidservant to serve the food to them.
After the food was served, Sheng Li dismissed the maidservants. Ying Lili was eating silently when Sheng Li tasted the chicken soup from the bowl, which was placed in front of Ying Lili.
She knitted her brows and asked him why he was eating from her bowl. "You told me that eating on the same plate increases the love manifold," Sheng Li stated and continued, "So, I decided to eat on the same plate as yours." He moved his chair near to Ying Lili and picked the rice from the same bowl as hers. "I think food tastes sweeter by doing so," Sheng Li murmured, passing a smile to her.
