Ming Mei took a deep breath: "Hmm, I'm quite hungry. Last night... I slept rather... well, so I got up late this morning and had breakfast later than usual."
They were all aware of what "slept rather well last night" meant.
Kang Chen smiled: "Then Miss Ming, eat a bit more."
Shen Nie looked down at the food on his plate, suddenly losing any appetite.
He put down the utensils and picked up his coffee, drinking it slowly.
Once Ming Mei had finished all the food on her plate, Shen Nie smiled and asked her: "Did you enjoy your meal?"
Ming Mei nodded: "Hmm, I'm done..."
Shen Nie picked up the napkin, easily wiping Ming Mei's mouth corner with familiarity, his gaze indulgent.
Ming Mei's body stiffened a bit, and Kang Chen's grip on her ankle tightened slightly.
Shen Nie put down the napkin and said: "Then let's go."
Ming Mei nodded awkwardly: "Hmm, alright..."
