"Li Ting, it looks like you really enjoy these little meatballs! Here, have some more if you like!"
With boundless enthusiasm, Lin Jie emptied the remaining half of the meatballs into Li Ting's bowl!
"Thank you, thank you for being so thoughtful, giving me so many. Although I'm still on a diet, your enthusiasm, Lin Jie, makes me very, very touched!"
If only Li Ting hadn't been gritting her teeth when she said that, it would have been perfect.
Not to be outdone, she picked up a dish of somewhat charred-looking fish and said, "Lin Jie, I noticed you kept eyeing this braised fish. We're at home, no need to be shy. If you like it, eat up, Miaomiao and I won't fight you for it!"
With those words, she placed the dish of fish in front of Lin Jie.
This was clearly mutual torment, but Lin Jie had no other option; since he started it, he had to let others finish it. He could only brace himself and eat a few pieces of fish.
