It was Lao Fan who got bored listening to their conversation and began dozing off with his elbow propped on the table. Had it not been for Xiao Linshuang's excited clapping and shouts about Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, he wouldn't have awakened at all.
"What, Crystal Shrimp Dumplings? Are there any left? I want some too!" Lao Fan, dreaming of fighting with Duke Zhou over fish, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, calling out in a fluster, fearing he wouldn't beat Duke Zhou in his dream and might wake up to find none left for him.
Seeing his greedy-cat look, Xia He couldn't help teasing, "Old gentleman, you've woken too late. The Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, well, they've all gone into our stomachs already."
Lao Fan's beard bristled, and his eyeballs nearly turned green with anger!
Princess Anle gave Xia He a reproachful look and repeatedly assured him that it wasn't mealtime yet, before Lao Fan barely believed her.
