Meaning

Zhou Huaijin did not reach out for the pastry, which was brought by Xiao Jin from South, thus not being in a large quantity. Chaoyan was not particular about food, and she ate whatever the kitchen served her, but she especially adored pastry and snacks, so Zhou Huaijin would leave it for her to enjoy.

So he did not reach out for it, but sat down and told her that.

That he was going to the border had been settled, so Zhou Huaijin had to tell Gu Chaoyan about this clearly.

Hearing that he was heading to the border… Gu Chaoyan did not have a surprised look on her face. Instead she ate the snacks, sipped her tea and looked at Zhou Huaijin calmly.
