89 Meal

"Hmm." Xiu Mei hummed in agreement. She was just about to pick up another piece of the shrimp when she noticed how Lu Chen was deboning the fish in front of her. 

She watched him looking so nonchalant as he clumsily separated the small fishbones from the meat as if he wasn't having difficulty doing it. Her eyes shifted to his expression and on the fish.

...At this rate, would she still have any fish meat to eat? 

It looked like he was throwing away the meat instead of just the fishbone. 

Is he… going to be okay?

The two of them fell into silence the moment her attention was shifted to what they are both doing.

Lu Chen who was concentrating on removing the fish bones.

Xiu Mei who worriedly watched what he was doing opposite him.
