Si Yiyan relaxed on seeing her finally smile. He gave her hollow cheeks a gentle pinch. "Did you eat properly today?"
Her appetite had been poor and she found it difficult to keep food down. As a result, she had no choice but to eat smaller portions at more frequent intervals.
Wen Xinya pouted and glared at him impetuously. "Stop pinching my face. You'll be to blame if my face turns ugly from all that pinching." She then clung onto Si Yiyan's arm coquettishly. "I ate two apples today, as well as a bunch of grapes. I also had a bowl of birds' nest soup, a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin, and a bowl of medicinal soup…"
She also mentioned a few other small snacks, making it sound as if she had eaten a lot.
At the end of her spiel, she glanced expectantly at Si Yiyan to hear his praise.
Si Yiyan pretended to put on a poker face. "You didn't eat any rice?"
