"Who are you?"
Cui Gensheng was somewhat embarrassed, his face flushed with shame, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Gou Dan said to himself, "My mother is busy in the kitchen. If you want to eat, just go in. You don't need to look for her."
After he finished speaking, he and his friends turned around and went to play, ignoring Cui Gensheng.
It wasn't until after noon that Yu Niang finished tidying up and came out of the dining hall.
