Fourth Master marveled in amazement.
Dogs don't know when they're full; even after they are, they still want more.
This dog, however, can control itself—that's odd.
He didn't know that at first, Hua Sheng was no good either, but Ye Zao didn't allow it to have whatever it wanted. Overeating could be fatal.
So, over time, it got what it was given, no more, no less. It was guaranteed to be well fed, but that was it.
Thus, Hua Sheng learned that once full, there would be no more, and it became well-behaved.
"Why is Master in the mansion at this hour?" Ye Zao pushed the tea forward and asked.
"Nothing much, just came back. It's so cold; why are you standing outside? There's nothing much to see at this time. The plum blossoms will take a while too," Fourth Master picked up the tea, warming his hands with it rather than drinking immediately.
