She sat there obediently and sensibly, watching Su Yu turn and leave, without calling out.
She had to be obedient, even though she didn't understand why. But Mother had said that only if she was obedient could she be with Father in the future, she could be like other children, having a Father.
Su Yu was afraid she would be too hungry, so he didn't let her wait long. In a little while, he brought two bowls of seemingly very plain noodles to the table.
"The ingredients are a bit scarce, you eat some first to fill your stomach, and later I'll take you down the mountain to eat more." Su Yu placed the small bowl in front of her, gave her a spoon and chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Can you eat by yourself?"
Xiao Xue nodded.
Then she reached out to take the chopsticks, picked at the noodles, and started eating.
After sucking a long strand of noodle into her mouth, Xiao Xue looked at Su Yu in surprise, then swallowed the noodle with puffed cheeks.
