Chapter 211: Broken Bridge

Xiao'er paused her eating, watching Shangguan Xuanyi tuck into his food.

Shangguan Xuanyi was silent when he ate, but noticing Xiao'er watching him while her food lay half-eaten, he swallowed his mouthful of fish and asked, "What's the matter? Is it not tasty?"

He thought it tasted quite nice!

"I think you look good when you're eating." This was the truth, but not the entire reason... Xiao'er shook her head, wondering if it would be ungrateful to express her preference for dissecting the fish completely before eating it, thereby betraying his considerate efforts.

"Too spicy?" Shangguan Xuanyi found it hard to believe. It wasn't the first time she had watched him eat.

If she was going to be entranced, it would have happened the first time she saw him.

People were always astonished by his appearance, but he distinctly remembered the first time she laid eyes on him, her gaze unmoved, akin to spotting a plain stranger on the street, easily forgotten in the blink of an eye.
