"Xiaoyu, you can't abandon your friends for a man like this. You have a saying for it, don't you? Choosing romance over friendship. Look, whenever you ask me to hang out, I drop my boyfriends to spend time with you!" Quintina said pitifully. "Yes, because you get a new boyfriend every week."
Seeing the women start arguing over such a small matter gave Tang Changsheng a headache. He remembered a saying: one woman was as noisy as five ducks. With three women here, that made fifteen ducks.
Tang Changsheng felt surrounded by a whole flock of them. "All right, all right. We'll go!"
As soon as Tang Changsheng agreed, Quintina pleaded with Ling Xiaoyu again. Even Arabella spoke up, and Ling Xiaoyu finally relented.

She had aimed that last sentence at Tang Changsheng, who, as though he hadn't noticed, had already eaten most of the breakfast she had prepared.
Ling Xiaoyu knew he had a big appetite, but there had been enough breakfast for seven or eight people, and Tang Changsheng had eaten it all by himself.

Tang Changsheng had noticed long ago, and his own appetite had only improved.
Arabella and Quintina watched in torment as Tang Changsheng took his time eating,
