Lu Tong walked over and lifted the lid of the food basket.

Pei Yunmeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the bamboo food basket, there were pastries, and on a cloisonné enamel dish with a yellow base and red flowers, several delicate lotus pastries were placed—each only about half the size of a palm, and beyond that, there was nothing else.

Lu Tong felt a bit disappointed in her heart but also maliciously thought that Pei Yunmeng, a tall and big man, only ate these delicate desserts, which really seemed out of place.

Pei Yunmeng didn't know the criticisms in her mind and, seeing her motionless, asked, "Don't you like it?"

"No," Lu Tong replied, picking up a piece of lotus pastry and putting it into her mouth.

Pei Yunmeng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to be so forthright, and after a pause, he smiled and spoke, "Aren't you afraid I've poisoned it?"
