The couple ahead walks hand in hand, not turning back, as if they didn't hear Qi Jiu's yell from behind them.
Qi Jiu rubs his stomach; he's really hungry. As soon as he arrived at the Kang family house, he ate an apple and some of Ming Mei's nuts, but they didn't do the job.
Qi Jiu clenches his teeth. No, he even got beaten up; he must get a meal at the Kang family home, or else it would be too much of a loss.
Qi Jiu catches up to them: "Hey, wait for me... I want to eat too.."
Eat?
Who is he kidding? There's no way Kang Chen would let him eat.
That food was specially meant for his wife. He wouldn't even let Qi Jiu have a sip of the soup.
Qi Jiu could only smell the enticing aroma, continually swallowing his saliva. He was really hungry. He felt like he was about to drool.
Qi Jiu abandoned all pride and said to Ming Mei: "Can I have one piece of ribs, please? Just one piece?"
