"Okay." Si Tiantian nodded and buried herself in her meal, hardly needing to pick any dishes herself as her mom and dad consistently filled her bowl.
Chenli skillfully peeled shrimp, and Si Tiantian watched expectantly, thinking that today, being her birthday, her dad would surely serve her first.
However, a second later, she saw the peeled shrimp placed into her mom's bowl.
"You should give it to Tiantian first. I won't have any," Sang Qiao said, starting to move the peeled shrimp towards Tiantian.
A pair of large hands quickly intercepted it, Chenli's voice low. "No need, I'll peel more for her. You eat."
"Right, it's okay. I can wait a bit longer. Mom, you go ahead and eat," Si Tiantian realized she wouldn't be getting the first shrimp her dad peeled.
"I'll peel some for you now," Chenli said, turning his head to catch his daughter's fixed gaze.
