Ate Alone

He Xiyan came to the dining hall where she usually had meals. Sure enough, as butler Lu said, the cooks had made dinner, more than a dozen dishes, each of which was normally her favorite.

"Madam, have your meal." A cook surnamed Liu offered He Xiyan a bowl of rice. The dishes were mainly of Hunan cuisine, with a lot of pepper and spices. The whole restaurant was filled with a strong flavor of dishes.

He Xiyan looked at the dozens of dishes on the table. She was alone. How ridiculous it was to serve her a dozen dishes.

How could she finish all of them? Besides, she did not understand what Ye Hao meant by asking the cook to make so many dishes for her to eat alone. Apparently, he knew that she had no appetite, nor could she finish them.

Moreover, what was the meaning for one person to enjoy a grand feast alone?
