Aldana Candi placed the last dish on the table, hesitated for a moment, and gently nudged his shoulder with her hand.
The man immediately opened his eyes, clear and bright, showing no sign of having slept.
"Let's eat." Aldana Candi withdrew her fingers slowly, without looking at Philip Shaw, walked over and sat opposite him, pushing the chopsticks to his side, "It might not be as good as what you cook, this is just my skill, make do with it."
Philip Shaw kept his eyes on her, not touching the chopsticks, speaking softly: "Let me come back."
Aldana Candi calmly placed a piece of vegetable in her mouth, chewed slowly three times before swallowing, her tone was very indifferent: "No."
"You can't take care of yourself all alone." Philip Shaw said, "Who will fix the broken chair? Who will patch up the leaking roof? You're here by yourself, you can only dig up some wild vegetables, you can't even find proper meat, are you planning to live on these vegetables from now on?"
