He was taken aback, a little unsure what she was asking him to do.
Growing up, there were many rules at home about eating politely, so he understood what "digging in" meant, but hearing it unexpectedly made him momentarily unsure what it was all about.
He didn't respond, so Shi Nian could only sigh, then feel around to place the lunch box and disposable chopsticks back into his hands.

No matter how difficult the situation, one must eat and drink enough to survive, then one can have the possibility to escape.
She supported his hand, lifting it along with the lunch box, then released one hand to find his jaw.
Her fingertips finally found his jaw, and he instinctively retreated slightly.
