As he spoke, he immediately jumped off the stool, ran to the chair next to him, climbed up, sat down, picked up the empty chopsticks in one hand and held the empty bowl in the other.
His impatient look made the Fourth Master's face darken instantly.
"What kind of behavior is this!" Fourth Master couldn't help but scold.
Hongjing immediately put his hands back on his knees and sat up straight, but his eyes were still fixed on the Fourth Master, as if afraid that he would have the dishes taken away.
He just wanted to eat his mother's cooking; it tasted delicious, and most importantly, it tasted like his mother's cooking.
