At long last, An You finally made it to mealtime.
She sat down at the table with a conflicted expression. The two chopsticks felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Even after finally picking them up, she did not immediately reach for food as she usually did. Instead, she bit down on them while studying the sumptuous spread with a conflicted look, then silently blinked at Huang Lan.
Huang Lan, on the other hand, had not noticed her at all. She displayed the elegance of a feline and the majesty of a king at mealtime.

"Ah!"
An You was filled with regret.
