——
Wu Tina stared at Lorraine with her mouth slightly agape, as if she were watching a live mukbang, admiring and surprised.
Meanwhile, the mother rested her chin on one hand, her face beaming with a smile, enjoying every beautiful moment of her partner's meal.
"?"
Lorraine didn't know why the two people kept staring at her, but she didn't ask any further questions.
After all, he was still eating, his mouth was full of food.
——
A whole table full of dishes, enough for five people.
But at this moment, it is visibly decreasing...
"Unbelievable, do men really have such big appetites?" Wu Tina has truly witnessed it today.
"Didn't I tell you? Men naturally have big appetites. You didn't believe me, but this is very important. You must remember this, otherwise, after you get married, don't let your husband, who has worked hard all day, come home and not even have a full meal."
The gentle reminder from her mother made Wu Tina blush with embarrassment.
She retorted in a low voice, "What kind of nonsense is this? Why did we suddenly start talking about marriage?"
"Taking control of your man's appetite now will benefit your future family life."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mom."
"You'd better not know."
——
finally.
When only one-fifth of the food remained on the table, Lorraine's eating speed slowed down significantly, and his belly swelled up, looking like he was about to reach his limit.
Wu Tina, who had been watching the other person the whole time, was just about to speak.
But Mom spoke up immediately.
"Brother Lin, if you can't eat anymore, that's fine. Don't make yourself sick. I don't know how big your appetite is. I was a little too excited when I thought about making this for you, so I accidentally made so much food. It's okay if you don't force yourself to finish it all."
Wu Tina was speechless.
Because her mother had already said everything she wanted to say.
However.
To everyone's surprise, after catching his breath several times, Lorraine loosened his belt to make some room in his stomach. His face was resolute, and he replied without wavering, "No, I must finish all the delicious food that I've worked so hard to make. Not a single grain of rice can be wasted!"
After saying that.
He then started eating again, even though his stomach was almost bursting at the seams, he still wanted to eat.
In Lorraine's life creed, there is no such word as "waste food"!
However……
Little did Lorraine know that her frantic eating to avoid wasting food filled her mother, Tina, who had prepared the dishes, with a feeling of boundless warmth.
That moment.
Her eyes filled with endless tenderness, such joy, such happiness.
Because she never imagined that... the food she made herself would be so cherished by someone, to the point that even if she couldn't eat anymore, she would try her best to finish it.
She was really happy.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, but it really will make me sick. If I can't eat it, that's fine. I appreciate your kind gesture, Brother Lin."
"No, there's only a little left, we'll finish it soon."
"Brother Lin..."
"Mrs. Hiiragi wouldn't want her homemade dishes to end up in the trash, would she?"
Lorraine herself is an excellent chef, so she naturally knows that finishing the dishes she makes is the greatest respect and support she can give to the chef.
As it turns out.
He was right. Wu Tina's mother felt this tenderness, and she was so moved that she could hardly speak.
Lorraine didn't say anything more.
He simply smiled slightly at her.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Hiiragi, no matter how much food you make, I will find a way to finish it all. I will never let it end up in the trash."
"Brother Lin..."
"And to be fair, the food you make is really delicious, and it deserves to be appreciated."
"Ugh, stop! That's too much praise!"
That moment.
Suddenly turning around, with her back to Lorraine's mother, Wu Tina, cupped her flushed cheeks in her hands, her mind almost going blank.
She now only feels that... all the hard work she put into cooking all morning was worth it.
That's wonderful.
