She placed the tray in front of Chu Liyue, who asked, "Why did you bring it over?"
Bai Jingxuan looked at Xiao Wujie with gentle eyes and said softly, "My darling is so attached to you that he can't eat even when he sits at the table with you. I thought I'd bring it up for you so you don't have to go downstairs again."
