Gong Xin, oblivious to Jin Long's straightforward thinking, misunderstood his words as a comment on her weight. She frowned slightly, "Am I supposed to diet? Have I gained weight?"

Jin Long quickly waved his hands, dismissing her concerns. Judging from her reaction, he deduced that she was just being a bit coy, which he found endearing. "Of course not," he reassured her, "Your figure is perfect as it is. Don't be afraid to indulge in some sweets. If anything, I think you could stand to gain a bit more weight."

At this, Gong Xin's face brightened. "By the way," she asked, "why did you bring the food that Gu Zi sent?"

Jin Long explained, "Su Shen took on a mission and had to return to the military area. His wife has a lot on her plate and couldn't leave, so they asked me to deliver it."

Gong Xin nodded, a hint of disappointment in her voice. "I see. I thought you had volunteered."
