Bai Sasa glanced at the empty bowl and said with understanding, "I'll serve you another bowl of porridge."
"Then... thank you, young lady," the old monk said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
As a monk, he shouldn't crave for food, but he had been hungry for several days and couldn't control himself.
Bai Sasa went out to get the porridge while Bai Lingyu and the others still stared curiously at the old monk.
"Grandpa, my elder sister said you fainted from hunger last night and collapsed at our doorstep, is that true?"
"Uh..." the old monk was taken aback. Hadn't Miss Junjun told them the truth? But perhaps Miss Junjun was doing it to ensure his safety.
The old monk wanted to say something, as monks should not lie, but he remained silent, thinking of Miss Junjun's well-intentioned efforts.
Bai Lingyu, unaware of Monk Shan Ci's dilemma, continued smilingly.
