Kapitel 49: Serious Care I

Ling Chunxi halted her steps once she heard someone calling her name. She turned around to see it was Second Elder who was calling out to her. His eyes were still a little red from crying.

"Let's go, Little Chunxi. I'll buy you a good meal. There's something I want to tell you." Second Elder's face was flushed, and he seemed agitated.

Doubt clouded Ling Chunxi's mind, but she remained quiet and nodded in agreement. She followed Second Elder to the town's best restaurant where they were led to a dining room. Second Elder went ahead and ordered a good number of dishes without waiting for Ling Chunxi to say anything. Every dish ordered was a meat dish. Ling Chunxi was perplexed at this unusual display from Second Elder.
