Xiang Yu and his colleagues had eaten their fill, each with a belly round as a drum, before heading back to their office. The moment Xiang Yu walked in, he paused abruptly. There sat Zhong Qin alone, an array of food laid out before her.
"Where have you guys been? I've been waiting to have lunch with you," Zhong Qin looked up and said to the trio.
"We..."
Before Tie Zhuzi could finish, Xiang Yu hurriedly interjected, "Just took a walk outside. What tasty things did you buy?" After speaking, he walked over and sat down on the couch.
Tie Zhuzi, already stuffed, saw this and wanted to slip away, but Xiang Yu shot him a look, and he walked back.
"Don't wait anymore, hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it'll all get cold," Zhong Qin urged immediately.
Xiang Yu and the others had no choice, as Zhong Qin had gone to the trouble of buying food; they couldn't disappoint her. So, they all pretended to be starving and began to eat, but it was particularly tough for Tie Zhuzi.
