A clear, deep voice traveled through the wooden door into their ears.
"Ertai?"
Upon hearing this voice, the two looked at each other, both puzzled. What was Ertai doing here so late?
"Um."
The person outside responded softly.
Wait a minute.
The two quickly tidied their clothes and got out of bed. Qing'er nudged Chen Nian forward with her eyes, indicating that he had clearly come to find her.
Seeing the tears on Shen Nian's face, Qing'er took out a handkerchief and wiped them away before pushing him toward the door.
Chen Nian, pushed by Qing'er, walked to the door and opened it.
"What's wrong?"
He tilted his head in confusion.
"You didn't eat much for dinner, so I brought you some food."
Before dinner, Chen Nian had eaten too much snacks and didn't eat much. Worried that she wouldn't be used to the food at the inn, he went to the kitchen and made her some food.
"Waaah, thank you, Ertai. You're so good to me. What will I do without you?"
Chen Nian looked at the plate handed to her, and, true to her dramatic nature, all her bad moods vanished in the face of food.
Ertai brought a bowl of noodles, topped with a golden-yellow poached egg that exuded an enticing aroma, and garnished with a few green scallions—it looked beautiful and tempting.
After arguing with Qing'er for so long, crying was exhausting, and the snacks before dinner were almost gone. Shen Nian took them while making exaggerated sobs. She wasn't being coy; her foodie nature had already been exposed in front of him, and she had almost lost all her image.
In his presence, Chen Nian completely gave up, doing whatever was easy and whatever made him happy.
When have I ever done anything wrong to you?
Seeing the exaggerated acting of the person in front of him, Ertai raised his hand and rubbed the person's head, speaking with a smile in his eyes.
"Hehe, you're the best."
Feeling the touch on his head, Chen Nian subconsciously rubbed against it, then turned around, just about to take the bowl into the room.
"Bang!"
The room door was closed.
Chen Nian was shut out.
"Qing'er, I haven't gone in yet."
Chen Nian didn't react much. He calmly knocked on the door and called out in a pitiful tone.
Oh dear, I'm locked out again.
"Niannian, my clothes got wet. I'll change them. You stay outside for a while and eat what you need."
Qing'er spoke calmly as well.
Ertai, Ertai, I've created so many opportunities for you. If you can't win over Niannian in the future, then she should find someone else.
"Okay, I was thinking of sharing some with you. Do you want some? Hurry up, I'll save some for you?"
Sharing happiness together is Qing'er's motto.
If we're going to get fat, we'll get fat together!
"Don't save any for me, I won't eat it. You eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets soggy."
Qing'er inside first shook her head, but then remembered that the people outside couldn't see her, so she spoke loudly.
Surprisingly, the noodles smelled really good; she could smell them even inside, and she still felt a little tempted to eat them.
"Are you sure? This noodle smells really good, and there's quite a lot of it. Shall I get you a bowl and divide some of it out?"
Shen Nian believed he understood Qing'er well enough to know that she also wanted to eat it.
Chen Nian deliberately mischievously placed the bowl near the door and fanned it with his hand, letting the aroma waft in through the crack in the door.
Ertai looked at Chen Nian's mischievous expression with eyes full of doting, indulgence, and amusement.
He slipped away and went back to the kitchen.
"No, no need."
Inside, Qing'er listened to the alluring voice and smelled the fragrance in the air. She swallowed hard. It smelled so good.
