Quiet Down

Li Family Manor

The breakfast next morning was quiet and awkward. No one spoke during the entire meal. The only sound was occasional clinks of the chopsticks against porcelain bowls and plates.

Li Xueyue didn't have her usual appetite because of her restless night. She was utterly exhausted whilst playing with the braised egg in her bowl of rice. Lazily, she raised her head, only to witness Li Wenmin happily placing their favorite dish into Minghua's bowl.

"I don't like eggs," Li Minghua said with a slight frown. "Did you forget?"

"Oh," Li Wenmin responded. He smiled a bit. "The dish is so good, I thought you'd appreciate it."

"No, thanks," Li Minghua muttered. "Consuming too many eggs won't be good for the body. Here, you need to eat more vegetables." She pushed the plate of leafy vegetables closer to the reluctant twin.

Li Wenmin poked at it in disgust. What was he? A cow? A rabbit? He didn't like vegetables, he liked meat.
