As Ye Nanshen prepared the noodles, he offered Rong Qi a small portion. "Just a little, okay? Open up."
Rong Qi, gazing at the few strands of noodles on the chopsticks, felt a mix of amusement and frustration.
She complied, savoring the bite. Surprisingly, it revitalized her appetite.
Noticing the noodles were not spicy, she commented, "I suddenly feel hungry."
Ye Nanshen was quick to act. "Did you hear that? She's hungry. Get the kitchen ready for a nutritious meal."
From a nearby tree, Xu Yi, who had been eavesdropping, leaped down and dashed off to inform Mrs. Hong.
After Rong Qi had her bite, Ye Nanshen refrained from eating the rest of the noodles, choosing instead to cover them up.
Rong Qi noticed his sacrifice. To accommodate her, he had been mimicking her diet, even resisting his cravings. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about his care for her.
