Ruby Gregory's porridge contained a little handful of red beans. Upon seeing Steve Burton nod in agreement, her eyes drifted towards her own bowl, where she spotted a particularly small leftover red bean. Blinking, she picked up her chopsticks, split the bean in half, then stuck the bigger half on the chopstick and held it up to Steve's mouth. TIlting her head to the side, she said with a beaming smile, "Here, have this."
Ruby Gregory was actually feeding him red beans. Steve Burton's face immediately lit up and without any hesitation, he opened his mouth to swallow the half of a red bean.
The red bean itself was quite small, especially when halved. Steve felt nothing upon putting it in his mouth. His tongue swirled around in his mouth for quite a while before finally capturing the pathetic half bean, but before he had the chance to chew and savor the feeling of being fed by Ruby, the bean had already slipped down his throat and into his stomach.
