"Then let's eat." Nan Sichen replied casually without prying further.
Qin Yin moistened her lips, looking at the intricately crafted dishes on the table. Biting her lower lip, she began to speak, "Nan Sichen, I came looking for you at noon, but..."

Qin Yin could only bite into the beef, and tried to explain again, "At noon, I received..."
"Speak not when eating, talk not when lying down." Nan Sichen cut her off again, quoting this time-honored saying.
Still, Qin Yin couldn't help but chuckle.
Nan Sichen ignored her laughter, continuing to place food on her plate while eating quietly.
He didn't want to listen to Qin Yin's explanations. He wanted to try trusting her.
Trust is a necessity between two people, yet something was palpably off in his heart, leaving him feeling torn.
