Murong Xiao put down his spoon.
She looked at him with a soft, sweet gaze, her fox-like eyes both mischievous and alluring. Her coquettishness touched his heart, and he... was a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, you keep your word!" Xiang Jin picked up the bowl, took a sip, and immediately frowned.
"Oh my god, why does it smell so strongly of medicine? I'm not drinking it..."

"Madam, this medicinal diet is good for your health and has no side effects. It was specially ordered by the young master." Aunt Yang took Xiang Jin's bowl and filled it to the brim for her.
Xiang Jin looked at Murong Xiao: "...You really didn't poison me?"

"Then three bowls, or four bowls will do."
Xiang Jin panicked: "Two bowls it is, I'll drink them, okay? I can't get any more bloated."
Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow: "OK."
