When they were leaving, Grandpa pulled Gao Peng aside and instructed him quietly, "Don't refuse Shaotang. He's doing it for your own good."
"No, I won't. Why would I reject Master Liu?" Gao Peng said quickly.
"Right… It wasn't as good back then, in Shaotang's family. He originally had two younger sisters. That year, there was a famine, and after one winter, his family was left only with him, the only son." Ji Hanwu sighed.
Suddenly, Gao Peng didn't know what to say. It had never occurred to him that the ever kind Master Liu had such a past.
"Eat some more. When you eat more, you have more nutrition, and you won't get hungry… It's never wrong to eat a bit more. To be able to eat is a blessing." Master Liu's laughing words echoed in Gao Peng's ears. Perhaps there was a strong, hidden obsession in the depths of Uncle Liu's heart.
"I know." Gao Peng nodded quietly.
