Seeing such a sumptuous feast for the first time, Sun Xuelin didn't care about anything else and just kept piling food into his bowl.
Only when the bowls were piled high like small mountains did they lower their heads and bury themselves in hard work.
Su Ying had already eaten a lot of food from her spatial dimension before leaving the train station, and her stomach was so bloated that she had no appetite at all.
She picked up a piece of stir-fried eggs with chives and didn't touch any other dishes. Gu Sinian kept a close eye on Su Ying's movements. Seeing that she didn't have much of an appetite, he thought she was not feeling well and asked her with concern.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the food?"
"No, that's not it. I'm not hungry. I already ate on the train before getting off. This table of food was originally ordered for you. Please eat more and don't worry about me."
Gu Sinian was worried and kept staring at her intently. Seeing that she didn't have much of an appetite but was still quite energetic, he finally felt relieved.
He placed the untouched bowl in front of the soup bowl, filled it to the brim, and pushed it towards Su Ying.
"If you don't have an appetite, have some soup."
"Thank you. Don't worry about me, you guys fill your stomachs first."
Sun Xuelin ate with great relish without delay. Gu Sinian nodded, picking at his food while secretly observing Su Ying not far away.
He was afraid that she was forcing herself and wouldn't say anything if she was uncomfortable. Now that they were in Willow Village, he would take care of Su Ying from now on. That would be the only way to repay Grandma Su for the three years of free medical treatment she had given him. Now that Grandma Su was gone, it was only right that he should take care of Su Ying.
She was not only the person he loved, but also the granddaughter of his savior.
He had many questions he wanted to ask her, but the timing wasn't right, so he had to give up.
Although Sun Xuelin is an upright person, there are many things that are not suitable to ask him in person. He can only wait for the right opportunity and reveal his identity when the two of them are alone.
Actually, he was a little angry. The little girl didn't remember him at all, and didn't even have a shred of recollection of him.
He was already nine years old and could remember everything. He remembered everything about Su Ying, but she had completely forgotten him. He really wanted to catch her and beat her up, otherwise he would not be able to quell the hatred in his heart.
Let's find an opportunity to ask after we finish eating. I'm really starving today. I only drank some water to fill my stomach this morning, and I've been ravenous ever since.
Sun Xuelin, who was sitting next to him, was eating like a wolf. Most of the food on the table ended up in his stomach. If he didn't hurry up, the big eater Sun Xuelin would have finished it all.
He was responsible for half of today's thank-you banquet, so how could he let Sun Xuelin eat it all?
Gu Sinian shoveled the whole plate of scrambled eggs with chives into his bowl, not forgetting to mock the man who was only focused on working hard.
"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? You're eating so fast, leave some for me."
Sun Xuelin didn't have time to chat with him. Nothing was more important than eating. He needed to fill his stomach first; everything else was secondary.
"Leave me some of the stir-fried chives and eggs, don't eat it all."
Seeing that Gu Sinian had no intention of leaving him any, she said, "Don't go too far. I only took two bites of the stir-fried eggs with chives, and you poured it all into your bowl. Don't you know any manners?"
Gu Sinian scoffed and pointed to an empty plate. "You didn't leave me a single bite of that stir-fried green peppers with pork. It all went into your stomach. How dare you mock me for being rude? Don't be ridiculous."
"Then you'd better eat quickly, or there won't be any left. I have a huge appetite. I haven't eaten for two meals, and I'm saving it all for Comrade Su to treat me to a meal."
Su Ying sat to the side, resting her chin on her hands, looking helplessly at the two childish men. Even eating couldn't shut them up.
Shouldn't the prerequisite for being hungry be to fill one's stomach?
They still have the energy to bicker, so they don't seem very hungry.
Is this enough? Can we add more if not?
They both shook their heads simultaneously and replied in unison, "No need. That's enough."
Su Ying smiled slightly, her lips pursed. They seemed to have a good understanding of each other. Su Ying now understood why the two of them could get along so well.
People with similar temperaments tend to get along well.
Sun Xuelin finished the last sip of soup, patted his tight belly, and said, "I'm full. Today's meal has been quite sumptuous, Comrade Su, there's no need to spend any more money. Life in the countryside is not like in the city, so we should be careful with our money."
"Thank you for the reminder, Comrade Sun. I can afford to treat you to a meal. You can eat your fill today, it's on me. But such opportunities are rare, after all, I don't have much money on me."
"Then why did you order so much food?"
Gu Sinian complained a little. Recently, there had been undercurrents in the city, and many people had suffered, let alone a little girl without parents to protect her.
Those days in the city must have been tough, but wasn't Jiang Yibo her fiancé? Shouldn't he have been there to protect her?
Why wasn't he there? Why was she assigned to the impoverished and remote Dongshi Liushu Village? Life there is unbearable; she's been pampered since childhood, how could her body possibly endure it?
He had many questions he wanted to ask her, but now was not the right time. His sensitive identity might cause her further harm, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
No matter how things turn out?
He would always protect her.
"I'm treating you to a meal, I can't let you go hungry, I'd feel really bad about that."
Sun Xuelin chuckled and looked at Su Ying questioningly, "Can I order another bowl of beef noodles?"
Su Ying was surprised and nodded, exclaiming inwardly, "This guy eats so much! You really can't afford to feed him unless you're rich!"
"Yes...yes...I said...this opportunity only comes once, so eat your fill."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Order whatever you like."
Sun Xuelin left his seat, walked to the window, turned back, and stared at Gu Sinian.
"Would you like a bowl of beef noodles too?"
