Celestia watched Ma Liu bustling in the kitchen, filled with envy, all for a taste of that food, even willing to do something small with relish.
Previously, she talked to Simmons about Brother Li's current situation, finding it a bit austere, Simmons was unusually emotional, but whenever asked, he wouldn't say much. Could this be it?
"How much did you pay him?" Celestia asked curiously.
"Talking about money could harm feelings, providing food and lodging should be enough." Li Xin laughed.
Celestia licked her lips, she was tempted too.
Although he no longer stuttered, Ma Liu still didn't like talking to strangers much, just nodding to the two of them before tidying up the dining table and serving the dessert.
Celestia looked at the dessert, then at Li Xin, and once more at that mysterious gourmet elder, what kind of heavenly day was this?
The two desserts were stuffed into Estella and Celestia's already full stomachs... not a crumb was left.
