"Since Chengfeng Restaurant is so good, and Miss Shuangshuang is so nice, why don't you cherish your days at the restaurant?" Yu Dahai asked.
Erzhu's face stiffened; after hesitating for a while, he spoke up.
"It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that Miss Shuangshuang doesn't want me anymore!"
"Miss Shuangshuang doesn't want you? Why wouldn't she? She's right here, so why don't you be honest about what's on your mind, and with her, perhaps there's room for reconciliation!"
Yu Dahai signaled to Erzhu with his eyes.
Since Yu Dahai had always spoken kindly, Erzhu was no longer timid; he mustered his courage and approached Mu Shuangshuang, speaking softly:
"Miss Shuangshuang, I... I know why you're angry. The matter with Brother Mu Tou is indeed my fault. I shouldn't have acted on my own, shouldn't have said to keep him, and shouldn't have thought everyone was stingy for not giving him a bowl of food!
