Sheng Li pulled out a chair for Ying Lili and made her sit on it. "Sheng Li, I really do not want to eat," she said in a low voice.
"I am afraid, but you cannot skip your meals. You have traveled such a long distance," Sheng Li stated and removed the lid from over a bowl that had hot vegetable soup in it. In the other bowls, there was rice, dumplings, and chicken soup.
"Eat it before it cools down," Sheng Li pulled out a chair for him and, after taking a seat, continued, "I will watch you until you finish everything." He picked a pair of chopsticks for Ying Lili and handed them to her. Ying Lili started eating.
