When Gu Jiao returned home, Gu Yan had already woken up and was sitting in the hall eating syrup egg with the old lady.
Upon seeing Gu Jiao entering the room, the old lady quickly shoved the syrup egg towards Gu Yan, declaring righteously, "I've said before that I won't eat! But you keep insisting on feeding me!"
Gu Yan, "..."
Who was the one who took half of his syrup egg?
The syrup egg was made by Xue Ningxiang. The old lady didn't show her face and instead urged Gu Yan to ask for it. Xue Ningxiang was completely unable to resist Gu Yan's charms and without a second word, she cooked a large bowl. Little Monk and Gu Xiaoshun each got a small bowl too.
Gu Xiaoshun ate quickly and had already returned to his room to work on his wood carvings. Little Monk was still practicing his skills on a tree trunk and had not started eating yet.
Gu Jiao decisively confiscated the old lady's syrup egg.
