Xia Mei was amused by this scene: "They're so cute!"
"Only you think they're cute..." a certain little girl retorted without any self-awareness, "A glutton, a bossy older sister, and a tsundere..."

Dinner proceeded in a pleasant atmosphere.
Xia Mei shared interesting stories about the shop since it opened, while Ming Mei occasionally added a few words. Although Xiao Ai didn't talk much, she would occasionally chime in. Yu Sheng Nan was in charge of serving everyone food and water, looking every bit like the male owner of the shop.

Yuzuru Hanyu added at the opportune moment, "The guest rooms are ready, so don't worry."
