At the thought, her face flushed red.
She nervously twisted her handkerchief, wondering if she should explain.
After all, what Shuang'er said was ambiguous and easily misunderstood.
Besides, she wasn't always thinking about her cousin. She was just a little worried about his safety...
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Zhan beat her to it. "You haven't had breakfast either, have you? You can go back after you eat."
Zhi Wan blinked, swallowing the explanation that was on the tip of her tongue.
'He probably didn't hear.'
She comforted herself.
"Alright." She nodded, not refusing again.
The breakfast spread was lavish: soup dumplings, Yangzhou fried rice, layered cake, lotus root flour balls, jadeite shumai, and scallion pancakes.
Zhi Wan was already a bit hungry, and the sight of this sumptuous breakfast made her even more so.
But when she picked up her chopsticks, she found herself unsure of what to eat first.
