Chapter 610 Rewards (4)_1
The hour had now arrived at You Time, the traditional mealtime, and Xiao Ruiyuan commanded his servants to bring over three dishes and a soup from the kitchen, along with a portion of rice, and had them carry in two large basins of raw meat as well.
Mo Yan didn’t stand on ceremony, after allocating the food to the five beasts, she picked up her bowl and began to eat.
The food tasted quite good, and since she was exceedingly hungry, she ate much faster than usual. Her dining etiquette, a carryover from her past life, did not make her seem rude.
Xiao Ruiyuan had little appetite, his own bowl of rice untouched. Watching the woman across from him eating with relish, he picked up his chopsticks and awkwardly began to serve her some dishes; it was clearly his first attempt at doing so.
Mo Yan quickly polished off a bowl of rice and was about to serve herself another when a large hand reached over and took the bowl from her.
As she watched the man serve the rice, she was momentarily dumbstruck, and a blush slowly crept up her cheeks, her heart fluttering with an unusual sweet sensation.
Xiao Ruiyuan served her a half-bowl of rice and, as though he were worried she’d misconstrue his actions, he explained in a low voice, "You have been starving all day, and it is not good for your stomach to eat too much at night."
Mo Yan bowed her head to hide the unusual color on her face, and silently picked up her bowl to slowly finish eating.
Xiao Ruiyuan, observing the blush on the woman’s cheeks, simply assumed she was warmed from eating the meal and did not suspect that her blush was out of joy.
By this time, the sun had already set, and the splendid twilight painted the clouds at the horizon a fiery red, bathing the entire camp in a blaze of color.
