Xiao Jinyan turned his head to watch her eat with a satisfied expression on her face. This was his favorite sight, dining with her always whetted his appetite.
Shen Chuwei took several bites in quick succession, only to notice Xiao Jinyan staring at her without eating himself.
"Aren't you eating?"
"Of course." Xiao Jinyan picked up a piece and, like Chuwei, placed one hand beneath his chin to catch the crumbs before taking a bite, but no matter how careful, bits of the flaky pastry inevitably fell into the palm of his hand.
Shen Chuwei glanced at Xiao Jinyan eating the pastry, and indeed, a person with good looks made even the same action appear noble.
She turned her eyes back to her own pastry, eating it up left and right, finishing three in quick succession.
