"Thank you for the food, Chef San."
After waiting for about half an hour, they finally received their food, and they immediately made their way back to the immortal caves.
Once they were seated, they began eating the food.
"Wow, you're right. This food is amazing. I dare say it's even better than Sebastian's food, and that's a huge compliment." Chu Liuxiang's eyes widened with surprise the moment she tasted the explosive flavor.
And in just a few minutes, Chu Liuxiang consumed all of her food, becoming the first to finish.
"Brother Yuan, I just noticed this, but you sure have a lot of food… Can you really eat all of that?" She asked him when she noticed that his portions were multiple times larger than theirs.
.
"Hm? Yeah, I can eat all of it." He quickly swallowed before nodding his head.
"So you have a really big appetite, huh? That's something I should note down for the future…" She mumbled in a low voice, but Yuan wasn't able to understand the meaning behind her words.
Sometime later, they finished all of the food.
Meixiu stood up and prepared to clean the table, but the old man, Sebastian, said to her, "It's okay, young miss. Allow me, the guest, to clean the table for you."
"Okay…" She nodded.
While Sebastian cleaned the place, Chu Liuxiang asked, "How many rooms do you have in this place?"
"There's only one room and one bed." Yuan calmly responded.
"Eh? So you have been sleeping together?" Chu Liuxiang looked at them with her eyes slightly widened.
"Yes," he casually responded.
Chu Liuxiang turned silent for a moment before asking, "Can I see the bed?"
"Of course. That's the bedroom." Yuan pointed to their room.
Chu Liuxiang then opened the door to take a look at the size of the bed, and sure enough, there was plenty of space— enough for three, perhaps even four people.
"Do you mind if I sleep with you two?" Chu Liuxiang then asked them in a resolute voice.
"Of course. Where else are you going to sleep?" Yuan said.
"Young Master Yuan, I will sleep out here in the living room on the couch," Sebastian said to him since he has no intention of sharing a bed with three young people, and one of them was even his master.
"As long as you're not sleeping on the floor." Yuan nodded.
Sometime later, Chu Liuxiang said, "Brother Yuan, I am going to wash myself. Where is the bathroom?"
"That door right there. Do you have any extra clothes with you?" Yuan asked her after realizing that they didn't have any luggage with them.
"Oh, right. Now that you mention it, we left them inside the helicopter." Chu Liuxiang said.
"I shall go and retrieve our luggage at this moment," Sebastian said.
If any human being that wasn't Yuan saw this scene, they would definitely vomit blood from envy.
"Brother Yuan, do you remember how we would always share a bed in the orphanage?" She asked him.
"Yes, because you were always afraid that something was hiding under your bed," he chuckled.
"I-I don't recall such a thing! You must have remembered it wrong!" She quickly refuted with a slightly rosy face.
The two of them proceeded to spend many minutes reminiscing their time together in the orphanage.
Meixiu had her eyes closed the entire time, seemingly asleep, but she was actually wide awake and silently listened to their conversation, as she was learning a lot about Yuan and his relationship with Chu Liuxiang.
And the more she listened, the more obvious it was to her that they were definitely very intimate with each other.
Meixiu then recalled what her mother told her not long ago— that someone will take Yuan away from her if she's too slow, and this caused her heart to tremble.
"Sorry, Meixiu, I got too caught up in our conversation and almost forgot that we're trying to sleep." Yuan suddenly said to her.
However, Meixiu didn't say anything and pretended to be asleep.
Seeing that Meixiu didn't respond, Yuan released a sigh of relief knowing that she managed to fall asleep despite their conversation.
"Let's lower our voices so that we don't wake her up," he said to Chu Liuxiang in a low voice, who was lying on the bed on her sides so that she could stare at Yuan's face.
They then continued reminiscing about their past for pretty much the majority of the night.
