"Sis, you should eat too. Don't you love snacks the most? You're not fat, you don't need to lose weight. Come on, eat with me."

Huo Sitang couldn't help but let out a burp.

She awkwardly but politely declined her brother's offer.

As Huo Yancheng ate, he felt something was wrong, so he looked up and found that everyone was staring at him.

Huo Yishen couldn't help but sigh:

"My son is really hungry."

Huo Yancheng nervously put down his chopsticks, glanced around the table again, and had an uncertain thought. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked:

"Have you all...eaten?"

Everyone nodded in unison, and Huo Sitang even let out a burp, perfectly fitting the occasion.

Huo Yancheng immediately understood and looked at Huo Yishen:

"So, does that mean I was the one who really suffered a great injustice by skipping work to eat this meal?"

He seems somewhat intelligent, but not much.

Because he quickly added another sentence:

"You guys started eating before I even arrived at your get-together. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Huo Sitang patted him on the shoulder and said frankly:

"Brother, you're really overthinking it."

Huo Yancheng scratched his head sheepishly.

"Did I misunderstand you?"

Huo Sitang shook her head:

"They didn't leave you behind; they called you here so you could eat the leftovers."

Upon learning the truth, Huo Yancheng almost burst into tears.

Tears of grievance were already welling up in his eyes when, at that moment, the third, belatedly arrived, unwitting victim barged in. To everyone's amusement and dismay, he brought his girlfriend!
