Xia Liu glanced at the wooden bucket, her thoughts began to waver, thinking that perhaps they weren't here to rest, but rather to watch over the kitchen and the bucket.
The kitchen at Canglan Court was tightly regulated, with people present all twelve shichen of the day. Xia Liu had never seen the kitchen unmanned, even during midnight at the small kitchen, there was always someone on night watch, never a moment of gap.
She placed the iron tongs properly and looked back, seeing Xiao Kunzi still sitting unmoving, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Xiao Kunzi, seeing you so tired, it's not good to rest here. Why don't you go back and rest, I still have to stoke the stove and watch the charcoal, so I'll be here for a while. If you have something you need to watch over, I'll do it for you."
Xiao Kunzi focused his gaze on her and politely said, "Thank you, Sister Xia Liu, no need, I'm fine staying here."
