This little episode had no impact on Jiang Lai. She returned home to cook; having left the restaurant without a bite, she now felt as if her stomach was twisted with hunger.
In the original owner's fridge, there was nothing but sugar-free soda water and multigrain bread, not a single thing with a homely touch. In the end, Jiang Lai found a box of nearly expired eggs and a handful of scallions at the bottom of the fridge.
She made herself a meal of scrambled eggs with multigrain bread. After eating, a strong feeling of satiety washed over her.
This sensation was something the original owner hadn't experienced in a very long time. So after Jiang Lai was full, she felt a sense of happiness that was long overdue.
In the original storyline, Jiang Lai had already started fasting at this stage, eating only two meals a day, strictly controlling the calories of each. Breakfast was two cucumbers, lunch an apple and a slice of bread, dinner consisted of water.
