章節 1583: Sadness

The restaurant, seemingly ordinary, boasted a menu of comforting home-cooked dishes. Mushroom roasted chicken, lamb roasted with onions, beef brisket stewed with white radishes, stir-fried meat, vermicelli cabbage, pork—the array was enough to elicit greedy expressions from the children. Despite their visible hunger, they restrained themselves, unwilling to make the first move. A collective gulp echoed in the room.

Observing the children's plight, Qiao Xuan took pity and urged them to sit. "Dig in, before it gets cold!"

Grateful, Liu Fu expressed his thanks, prompting the children to follow suit. Only then did they settle down to eat.

Once chopsticks met food, the children couldn't help but hasten their consumption. Half of the dishes vanished from the table in no time. Their rapid eating, however, lacked rudeness, and Qiao Xuan's gentle assistance softened the scene.
