Liam guided his younger brother over and sat him down beside Suzy.
Noah ended up squeezed between the two of them, licking his lips impatiently as the irresistible aroma of the dumplings filled the room.
Suzy handed a fork to Liam while picking up another one herself. She selected a dumpling, blew gently on it until it cooled, dipped it into the mild sauce, and caught it carefully in a small bowl before holding it out to Noah.
"Here, try it. Tell me what you think."
Noah opened his mouth and took a bite.
The temperature was perfect. The moment he chewed, his eyes lit up like stars.
"It's amazing!" His voice nearly cracked with emotion. "It's so good!"
For a second, he almost wanted to cry.
How long had it been since he last ate something hot?
And these weren't just ordinary dumplings. The filling was incredible––savory, fragrant, and bursting with flavor.
The dipping sauce elevated everything even further, making each bite somehow several times more delicious.
