Ye Xi felt too embarrassed to let him feed her; it was just too awkward.
Moreover, with her current ghastly appearance, she was just too ugly.
Seeing that she neither declined nor agreed, Ah Gui took it as her tacit consent.
He set down the bowl and left.
The moment the door closed, Ye Xi let out a deep sigh.
After a while, Ah Gui pushed the door open and came in.
It was just him.
"There are no caregivers available now; they're all too busy," Ah Gui went over and sat down, "Please make do for now."
He picked up the bowl again and began to feed her the porridge.
Ye Xi felt that if she didn't eat now, she would really be too disrespectful. She just felt awkward being fed by him and didn't want him to mistakenly think she had some kind of disdain for him.
Her eyes fixed on the spoonful of porridge, she opened her mouth.
Ah Gui watched as she took the spoon into her mouth, and he swallowed nervously.
Throughout the process, neither of them said a word.
