Tina blushed and muttered in embarrassment, "Um... I'm not very good at using chopsticks."
After saying that, she slowly loosened her grip on the lamb chops and carefully put them back on the plate, secretly worrying that Xiao Ning would have a bad impression of her.
However, what Tina didn't expect was that after Xiao Ning heard her words, there was no dissatisfaction or disgust on his face.
On the contrary, Xiao Ning calmly put down the chopsticks in his hand, rolled up his sleeves neatly, stretched out his right hand without hesitation, grabbed a piece of tender and juicy mutton directly from the plate, and began to eat it with relish. He looked completely free of aristocratic reserve and affectation, and seemed particularly generous and unrestrained.
While chewing the delicious mutton in his mouth, Xiao Ning also praised vaguely:
"Mm, these lamb bones are so tender! There's not even any smell of mutton! Sister Tina, don't be polite, eat quickly!"
Tina stared at the casual, straightforward boy in front of her, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that Xiao Ning did this just to make her feel less restrained and special.
Just such a seemingly insignificant action is enough to show the precious kindness and gentleness deep in Xiao Ning's heart.
Thinking of this, Tina couldn't help but slightly raise her lips, revealing a sweet smile. Then, she picked up the lamb chop she had just put down without hesitation, opened her mouth, took a big bite, and enjoyed the satisfaction brought by this delicious food.
For a moment, the whole room was silent except for the sound of the two people chewing with relish. They were immersed in the world of food, forgetting all worries and restraints, and only focusing on the simple and pure happiness in front of them.
In a short while, the originally full plate of food on the table was devoured by the two of them. However, most of it went into Tina's stomach. It was obvious that she was really hungry.
When the last mouthful of rice slid into her hungry stomach, she let out a loud burp. She gently raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. Her beautiful face was filled with an expression of great satisfaction. Xiao Ning, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh softly when he saw this.
"It looks like you, sister, are really full now."
Tina raised her head when she heard the voice, her eyes met Xiao Ning's, and then she nodded very firmly.
"Well, dear, I am very full. This is the most sumptuous and delicious meal I have ever had in my life! Thank you so much!"
Hearing Tina's grateful words, Xiao Ning just smiled faintly. Then he slowly stood up, waved to the shop assistant, and asked him to prepare a few more meals as he planned to take them back.
Although they were already full, Xiao Ning still felt a little sorry for Zhou Yang who was still starving in prison. Although skipping a meal wouldn't kill him.
But if the kid is really too hungry and eats some weeds or even worse, chews on the belt to fill his stomach, that would be bad. So Xiao Ning decided to bring some food for Zhou Yang as well.
After he got the packed meal, he took Tina out of the restaurant. After leaving, Xiao Ning turned around and said.
"Sister Tina, let's go back. Don't worry, you won't have to wait in jail for too long. Give these steamed buns to the others when we get back. They must be starving too."
Tina took the package of steamed buns and nodded gratefully. Then Xiao Ning took her to an empty corner, put his arm around her shoulders, and instantly left the brightly lit street.
Deep inside the magnificent palace, Nangong Luoyu finally finished her heavy workload for the day. She stood up slowly, looking a little tired, and gently rubbed her eyelids, which were sore and swollen from working so hard for so long, and then she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
";Oh, it's so tiring! I guess it must be late at night now, right?";
She whispered to herself as she moved away from the desk piled with documents and books. She walked hurriedly into the inner room. Not long after, she stepped into a room that was decorated very exquisitely and beautifully.
She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers elegantly. In an instant, the originally dark room was illuminated by bright candlelight, as if it were daytime.
Looking closely, this spacious room was covered with a variety of portraits, whether on the snow-white walls or in front of the neatly arranged desk. Not only that, the large and soft bed was also covered with a variety of colorful clothes. A closer look revealed that all of these clothes were suitable for men.
Nangong Luoyu walked to the bed with an obsessed look on her face, and then suddenly fell onto the bed as if she had lost all her strength. She buried her face deeply in the pile of clothes, greedily taking a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the remaining breath on the clothes into her heart and lungs. This degree of inhalation can be called an epic lung-burning!
Time seemed to freeze, and a long, long time passed. Finally, she seemed to wake up from a long dream and raised her head very slowly. However, her beautiful face was still filled with a dreamy and intoxicated expression, as if she was still immersed in some beautiful memory and couldn't extricate herself.
