Juhua let out a breath. "How could I not be tired? I was just waiting for everyone to clear out so you could bring in some hot food for the two of us. Are they all gone?

The whole thing was over in two days, not as many people came, and we were saved a lot of hassle."
Seeing her look of immense relief, Huai Zi couldn't help but smile. He temporarily set aside the gloom in his heart and went out to bring in three dishes, a bowl of soup, and two bowls of rice. He placed them on the small square table. Already on it were two small plates of dates and peanuts, along with a plate of undercooked dumplings, which Juhua pushed aside in disdain.
