As everyone settled down to eat, Su Qinglan quietly took out a large stone bowl and began filling it with food.
She carefully placed a generous portion of rice, a whole roasted fish, some stir-fried slices, and a few pieces of roasted meat inside. The bowl was almost overflowing, clearly more than what a single person could normally finish.
Her actions quickly caught Hu Yan's attention.
He paused, then asked, "Lan Lan, who is that for?"
After all, Rong Ye and An Mo were not here, and there was no fixed time for their return. If the food was left aside for too long, it would only spoil. It did not seem like she was saving it for them.
Su Qinglan looked up and smiled lightly. "It's for the young boy who helped me carry the fish back," she said. "I promised him I would give him a bowl."
Hu Yan was slightly surprised at first, then nodded in understanding. "Oh, him," he said. "I know that kid."
