Xiao'er could tell that Zhu Yan wanted to speak, but she didn't initiate a conversation on her own.
The conversation turned to which shop in Shengping County had the tastiest delicacies, which made for a rather pleasant atmosphere.
Zhu Yan struggled inwardly, rallying her courage to speak, when a server arrived with four bowls of noodles.
Zhu Yan stared frustratingly at the server. Why did he choose to serve the noodles exactly when she was about to speak?
The server, startled by Zhu Yan's piercing glare, nearly spilled the noodles. He felt too intimidated to place his bowl in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiao'er nearly laughed out loud.
Jingrui kindly moved the noodles from the tray to Zhu Yan's spot, relieving the nervous server.
The server gave Jingrui a grateful glance before scampering off.
