When the roast lamb reached his mouth, it was as if his sense of taste had suddenly awakened.
Spicy and numbing!
The flavor was all there!
And the lamb was roasted just right. It was especially delicious.
He had long since lost his appetite for food, though every now and then he still ate a little rice, especially when he was cooking for Little Bai. Afterward, he would have a few bites himself.
But he didn't need much food.
Nor did he have anything he particularly liked to eat.
Everything seemed the same to him, with no special flavor.
But this roast lamb he was eating now—
This flavor went straight to his soul!
It was so delicious!
He couldn't help swallowing it right away, then hurriedly took another big bite. At first, he'd wanted to maintain a little dignity and savor it slowly, showing off his refined manners.
But after a few chews, it was just too delicious. The cells in his teeth and stomach stopped obeying him and started chewing at top speed.
By the end, he even felt that picking up the meat with chopsticks was still too slow, and he wasn't enjoying it enough.
He simply used his hands, gripping the bone and gnawing the lamb from it.
He ate with such gusto.
Little Bai, seated across from him, smiled at the sight of his table manners. Then Little Bai didn't say anything more and lowered her head to keep eating.
After all, her master hadn't prepared tonight's dinner with her grandfather in mind. With her grandfather joining them now, there definitely wouldn't be enough to go around.
So she had to eat faster and focus wholeheartedly on her meal.
Once they'd finished the whole roast lamb, everyone felt thoroughly satisfied.
