Just as Shi Heng was about to speak, his master's gaze suddenly swept over him.
Those smiling eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, but in the blink of an eye they returned to the gentle look of an elder.
"Good boy, sit down quickly." The master said with a smile, his eyes lingering on Shi Heng for a second longer. "You'er has always had his own opinions since he was young. It seems that he has a good eye for choosing people."

Yun Feiyang was holding a bowl of soup and almost choked when he saw this. He quickly took out a tissue to cover the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll go get a bottle of wine."

The master's chopsticks that were picking up the vegetables paused in the air, and the vegetables fell back onto the plate.
