"Xuanxian, here, you eat this. You need to eat more so you can grow tall and strong."
Inside the small, simple yet clean stone house, Qi Xuanxian sat with his mother and younger sister, eating a fairly lavish meal.
As his mother spoke, her chopsticks moved, dividing four eggs under his sister's eager gaze.
His sister was already ten years old, but she looked as thin as a little monkey—withered and dark-skinned, and much shorter than other children her age.
In contrast, Qi Xuanxian, though only two years older, was tall and well-built with a ruddy complexion.
At that very moment, as his mother divided the eggs, his sister's breathing grew heavy.
The first egg, unsurprisingly, was placed in Qi Xuanxian's wooden bowl.
The second egg, also unsurprisingly, was placed in Qi Xuanxian's wooden bowl.
HUFF... HUFF... A light appeared in his sister's eyes.
'She must think she's next, that she'll finally get to eat a delicious egg.'
