Yu Yu was speechless. She really had to hand it to Xiang i; here she was trying her best to get this r out of this predicant, and yet he was fighting against her. Could he not see who was trying to help him and who was trying to harm him? Why was he acting like a foolish idiot?
"Ah i, can you leave this matter in my hands? I an, can you not see that I am trying to help you?" Yu Yu remarked, feeling slightly annoyed. She couldn’t see the r serving a woman beneath him in every manner, and yet he couldn’t understand sothing so simple.
Xiang i indeed could not understand the actions of the woman in front of him. He said to her, "I am really not forced into doing anything. Miss Ruan is really kind, and she is even sharing her al with ."
"What’s so good about sharing the at that we have given her—" Yu Yu began speaking, but that was until her eyes fell on the grilled at that Xiang i was holding in his hands. Her eyes flickered as she turned to look at Ruan Chanchan and exclaid, "What kind of voodoo did you do on this at?"
Ruan Chanchan: ??
Ruan Chanchan: !!!
"What do you an by voodoo!?" Ruan Chanchan snapped. This ti around, she couldn’t stay quiet. Just because she was not willing to deal with this woman, she was getting more and more ahead of herself. She slamd the bowl she was holding onto the ground. "Now listen here, young miss. I don’t know what your problem is, but you’d better not start with my al, okay? The food I cook is definitely not sothing that you can just insult because you want to."
She could listen to insults directed at her, but she could never listen to any insult directed at her food. That was a low blow.
"Hah, why? Do you think that the food you cook is blessed by the beast goddess?" Yu Yu asked with a mocking tone. No sooner had she finished speaking than a timid voice chid up.
"Yes, Miss Ruan’s food is blessed by the beast goddess. Can’t you see the flas that she had brought with her? Can you see soone else doing it?" This was the first ti Xiang i was standing up against his friends. The feeling was not a good one, but he couldn’t help but step in when he saw Yu Yu insulting Ruan Chanchan. He didn’t want to fight with his friend, but he could not watch her insult Ruan Chanchan either.
Ruan Chanchan was not only the guest of Prince Rong, but she was also blessed by the Beast Goddess. This was the first ti that he finally had so hope of his tribe getting better, and he didn’t want Yu Yu to ruin their chances. With that thought in his mind, he looked at Yu Yu with a stern gaze. But it would have been better if he had stayed quiet because that only made Yu Yu even more furious.
She clenched her fingers and shouted, "Why are you standing up for this woman again and again? Do you like serving her so much?"
"I...like serving her... What’s wrong with serving her..." Xiang i’s temper flared as well when he saw Yu Yu questioning him. He pursed his lips and then stated in a firm voice, "Miss Ruan has done nothing that accounts for such behaviour. If anything, she has made a sumptuous al that makes feel strong and full."
Xiang i was grateful to Ruan Chanchan. The woman could have eaten sothing good on her own, but she didn’t. She shared sothing good with him even when she could have enjoyed this warm al on her own; in his eyes, Ruan Chanchan was a very kind woman.
"You—"
Yu Yu wanted to lose her temper with Xiang i, but couldn’t. So, she snatched the bowl from Ruan Chanchan and said, "What is so good about this food? Let take a look."
Ruan Chanchan couldn’t even grasp the bowl properly when it was taken away from her. Startled, she looked down at the bowl and then raised her head to look. Her hands, which had been holding the bowl, were now empty, and she was staring at the air. Her lips twitched. She knew that the woman was rather impulsive, but she didn’t know that she was this impulsive. She had to hand it to the woman.
She really surprised her!
Ruan Chanchan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Instead, she simply watched the woman chew down on the remaining curry rice that was left in the bowl. At first, Yu Yu only took a bite, but then she took another and then another before anyone knew it, Yu Yu had finished the entire thing.
Yu Yu, who had finished eating, couldn’t believe her eyes. She looked at the clean bowl that was so clean that it looked like it had been wiped clean. If not for the fact that she knew that it was done by her, she would have thought that a hungry ghost possessed her, because why would she eat this unknown thing without thinking?
She raised her head and glared at Ruan Chanchan. "What did you add to it?"
"Just admit that it was quite delicious. What is the point of acting as if you hated it?"
"It’s not like I forced you to eat," remarked Ruan Chanchan.
Yu Yu’s face turned red with embarrassnt. She wanted to lose her temper, but she didn’t dare because her stomach was rumbling with hunger! Now she really wanted to eat this so-called curry rice. So, she could only purse her lips and lower her stance. "Miss Ruan, do ...do you have more..."
"Of course," Ruan Chanchan pointed to the pot in which she had cooked the rice. "there is enough for everyone to eat."
Sure enough, good food was the way to one’s heart!
