Sister in law Wang had run off, and the eavesdropping noises in the courtyard disappeared.
Inside the room, only the faint clinking of bowls and the sounds of chewing could be heard.
Lin Wan Yi was completely unaffected, slowly sipping her porridge and then picking up a piece of cured meat and putting it into her mouth, savoring it.
The man across from her, however, started to eat noticeably faster.
In just a few bites, he finished the white porridge in his bowl, then picked up the plate on the table with only a few cucumber strips and garlic sauce left, and without hesitation, tilted it to pour all the sauce into his empty bowl.
He raised the bowl to his lips, gulping down the sauce with its garlic and cucumber fragrance until it was all gone.
With a clatter, the empty bowl was placed heavily back onto the table.
After doing all this, he finally looked up, his gaze landing on Lin Wan Yi's smiling face.
Lin Wan Yi also put down her chopsticks.
Here it comes.
