"I'm afraid you might not be used to these dishes," she explained specifically.
Shang Hexing said, "Whatever you arrange is good."
Wen Zhi, considering Shang Hexing's distinguished identity, deliberately wiped the wooden stool with a paper towel before he sat down. He noticed this and stopped her with a wave of his hand, "When you're out, you don't worry about these things."
Wen Zhi then asked, "Would you like some water? The kettle is outside the Vegetarian Hall, communal, I'll go get some."
Her eagerness was evident in her words yet she remained very distant and courteous, pushing their relationship further apart.
Shang Hexing gazed at her for a moment before finally saying, "You're troubling yourself."
"It's no big deal."
Wen Zhi brought in a cup of hot water in a disposable cup, lingering outside on purpose for a while. By the time she came in, the noodle dish was already placed in front of Shang Hexing.
