Thirty minutes later.
Su Yan slowed down her eating.
Situ Xiu curved his lips into a smile.
"Guard Song, is the al good?"
Su Yan didn’t react and kept eating.
Xiao Hua hinted,
"Host, you are Guard Song."
With those words, Su Yan imdiately lifted her head.
Blinking her eyes,
"It’s very tasty."
Alright, she still needed to adapt to being called Song Su.
Situ Xiu’s dark eyes looked at her, his voice gentle,
"What’s the matter with Guard Song? Are you confused from eating?"
Su Yan swallowed the bun in her mouth and nodded,
"Too hungry. Haven’t eaten for many days."
Situ Xiu looked suddenly enlightened.
"Benefactor should eat more to avoid hunger later."
Hearing this, Su Yan paused.
She looked up, still chewing, her voice muffled,
"As a guard, will I be hungry in the future?"
This reminded Su Yan of her past situation as a maid on a certain plane, going hungry.
"What does Guard Song think?"
He didn’t answer directly but asked a question in return.
Su Yan swallowed her food.
Spoke softly,
"It’s possible."
Situ Xiu’s smile remained,
"Does Guard Song think I would let you starve?"
"No."
"Oh? Then it seems Guard Song likes being hungry."
Su Yan shook her head vigorously,
"I don’t like it."
Situ Xiu noticed her sudden wary expression.
A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
He picked up the Jade Chopsticks in front of him and tasted the fish.
His voice was gentle,
"It seems Guard Song likes fish."
The fish dish on the table was nearly finished.
Su Yan nodded,
"It’s delicious."
Part of it was the taste, another part was its proximity.
She was so hungry.
She ate whichever dish was closer.
Not picky about food.
Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow,
"If my benefactor likes it, the kitchen shall prepare more fish for you."
Su Yan didn’t pay much attention.
Nodded slightly,
"Okay"
Food was just food.
As long as she was full.
After this al,
Su Yan officially beca Situ Xiu’s personal guard.
Ti passed, half a month later.
Su Yan looked at the grilled fish before her.
Her stomach churned.
She didn’t even pick up her chopsticks, just lowered her head and chewed the white bun.
It’s been half a month.
Eating fish every al, three tis a day.
By this ti, Su Yan finally understood what he ant by wanting her to eat more fish.
Now, just looking at fish made Su Yan feel nauseous.
She was halfway through her al when Chi Xing approached her, speaking coldly,
"The Prince is looking for you."
Su Yan nodded.
Placed her lunch box on the steps.
She was a personal guard.
Needed to stay close all the ti, twelve hours a day.
However, with Chi Xing, they took turns.
Basically, Su Yan was on duty during the day.
Chi Xing at night.
Of course, there were other guards.
At any ti and place, the Prince’s guards should not be less than four.
Su Yan secured her lunch box.
Stood up and hurried towards the hall from the corridor’s end.
Once inside the hall,
The lingering incense and a faint tea aroma wafted around.
Situ Xiu sat in the chair at the head of the room.
Holding a docunt in his hand.
For so reason, he seed to enjoy reading in the hall during the day.
Su Yan heard him as soon as she stepped in,
"Grind the ink."
Su Yan responded,
"Yes,"
And stepped forward.
She picked up the ink stick and began grinding seriously.
A while later,
Situ Xiu lifted his eyelids, smiling,
"Guard Song, have you eaten your fill?"
Su Yan nodded,
"Uh-huh"
"Do you enjoy the als?"
Su Yan recalled the fish.
Her heart turned uneasy.
