"It smells so good! Butler, can you smell it? There's an indescribable aroma; the food must be delicious." Fu Boyi stood up and looked around, only then realizing it was lunchtime. Many people were secretly eating, but the librarian turned a blind eye, as he was also having lunch.
They all brought food from home, a wide variety of dishes, and when they didn't find anything in front of them, they looked further away.
This was quite a surprise; he saw a child who looked remarkably like himself. If it weren't for the child's round face, he might have mistaken him for himself.
"Young Master, that child looks just like you!" the butler exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth with his hand, realizing he had said the wrong thing.
Fu Boyi nodded: "He does look a lot like me, but he's a bit heavier. His face is rounder than mine, and he looks healthier." He subconsciously touched his right cheek. If he hadn't been sick, would he also be able to do whatever he wanted like the boy in front of him?
Su Chenqiu felt someone watching her, looked up, and saw a boy who looked very much like her. Meeting was fate, so she nodded slightly to him.
Fu Boyi found this person quite interesting; he possessed an inexplicable composure that surpassed even his own. He couldn't resist walking over, and the fragrance grew stronger. Looking at the table, he realized the scent was emanating from the bottle.
When Fu Chenqiu saw them approaching, he subconsciously put down the steamed buns. Did the boy want to see him about something?
The butler's heart was stirred. Why did this child look so much like his young master? He should be a year or two younger. Could he be the old master's illegitimate child? The thought was quickly dismissed, because the master and madam had a very good relationship. They had been childhood sweethearts and were deeply in love. It was impossible for them to have done anything improper outside.
Is this child merely someone who looks like the young master? After some thought, that's the only possibility left.
Fu Boyi has never liked to talk since he was a child. He can only say a word or two to people he is close to. He is usually silent and only speaks after a long time.
"Is this tasty?"
Su Chenqiu nodded: "It's delicious, would you like to try some?"
I don't know why, but I feel an inexplicable closeness to him.
Fu Boyi didn't know how to eat, and rarely ate steamed buns at home. The only two times he ate them were when he was forced to.
Seeing that he was hesitant to move, Su Chenqiu could only pick up a bun and say to him, "Watch me make it once, and then you can eat it. This is a vegetarian filling without any meat."
After saying that, he took a bite of the bun, and then ate it again in the same way as before, except that this time someone next to him was eating more slowly.
Fu Boyi picked up a steamed bun and ate it following the steps he had taken. The taste was even better than he had imagined. He had never eaten such delicious meat sauce before. He felt that everything he had eaten before was garbage. Paired with the steamed bun, it was simply divine.
He grew up abroad and only returned to China this year, so he's not quite used to the food here yet.
Butler Fu was overjoyed to see his young master, who usually had a poor appetite, devour more than half a steamed bun. Seeing that there were no labels on the bottle, he wondered what brand of sauce it was.
There was one steamed bun left in the lunchbox. Su Chenqiu was too embarrassed to eat it. She finished the last bite of the bun in her hand and didn't continue eating. Instead, she watched the boy in front of her eat the bun. His movements were so refined that it was clear he was a well-mannered child from a good family.
