Chen Lijun figured that if she couldn't have the ice, settling for alternatives would do,

He claimed he didn't want her to eat in such a smoky environment, but his real worry was her eating too much and getting an upset stomach. Despite the pleas of Suizi and the two little radishes, he reluctantly allowed her to eat sparingly.

"I shouldn't have--" As Chen Lijun poised to continue her rant while patting her belly, Suizi shoved a cucumber into her mouth to stifle her.
"Chen Hansui, are you growing bolder?" Chen Lijun took a bite of the cucumber, finding it pleasantly sweet, she absent-mindedly chewed on it, crunching it as if it were Suizi.
"You really should learn to filter your words," Suizi hurriedly diverted the conversation.
