Kiera smiled and was about to help him pull the suitcase, but Julian stopped her from helping and said, “I only have two sets of clothes in the suitcase. They are not heavy, so I don’t need help. Besides, I am a grown man. How can I ask you to help me carry my suitcase?”
Kiera: “You have come a long way, and you’re my guest. I also left two grilled ham sausages for you. You don’t like spicy food, so I left you a non-spicy one. I added chili pepper, which is spicy enough.”
Julian took the small bag she handed over. The small bag contained two grilled ham sausages. He took out one and took a bite.
Kiera handed the other snacks she bought to Julian. When Julian took them, she took the suitcase with one hand and held the uneaten baked ham in one hand to eat while walking.
Julian looked at her windy back, smiled helplessly, and said that she had to help him pull the suitcase without her help.
Just let her pull.
So, Kiera walked in front with the suitcase, and Julian followed behind her. They both ate while walking. Kiera finished the ham sausage in his hand, and Julian brought her other food.
When they walked to the parking lot and found Kiera’s parking spot, the two of them had already finished all the snacks.
Kiera ate until her mouth was full of oil, and she had a look of satisfaction on her face. She helped Julian stuff the suitcase into the trunk of the car and said, “I’m finally satisfied. My mother usually won’t let me eat those snacks. She said it would make me angry, but I was worried about not being hygienic enough. She would scold me if I ate even a little bit every now and then, so I just like to eat those snacks.”
Julian said, “If you eat it once or twice occasionally, it’s okay. Don’t eat it often. If you really like it, you can buy the ingredients and cook it yourself. That way, at least the health and safety issues are guaranteed.”
Kiera said, “With my cooking skills, how can I do it? My mother can cook it, and it is delicious, but if we ask her to cook it for us once, she will talk about it and give it to us after eating. Let’s each prepare a large cup of bitter herbal tea.”
Julian smiled and said, “If you want to eat it in the future, tell me. I will buy it for you and send it over. I think Auntie won’t tell me anything.”
