Xi Jiu paused while wiping her hands.
"I ate," he said, "Just had a couple of sips of porridge."
Ruan Qi had been sleeping continuously, and Xi Jiu wasn't in the mood to eat either. Nie Beilou knew he had no appetite, so he brought over some porridge and small dishes for him.
However, Xi Jiu couldn't eat much; he only had a couple of sips of the porridge and stopped eating.
Ruan Qi guessed from his reaction that he hadn't eaten well.
She withdrew her hand from his palm, shook his fingers lightly, and said, "Jiujiu, I'm not feeling bad anymore. Why don't you go eat something?"
Xi Jiu didn't want to leave the young girl.
He was a strong man and missing one meal wouldn't harm him. More than eating, he wanted to stay with the young girl.
But Ruan Qi held his fingers and softly whimpered a couple of times.
Xi Jiu couldn't bear it when she acted cute, his whole heart and soul immediately melted into a puddle of water.
He nodded helplessly, "Alright, I'll go eat now."
