Shen Xi only mentioned the good parts and reserved the bad ones. She would not hold out on her success stories from him, but she would withhold the grievance and danger she faced while getting things done.
Li Yuan was aware that she did not want him to worry.
He also knew that he should trust her and let her go so that she could soar.
After having him caught up to speed, Shen Xi began reporting about Toffeecito. "Brother, you have no idea how much it eats. It can eat this much and this much in one sitting."
Li Yuan asked, "How much is this much?"
Shen Xi spread her palm and gestured exaggeratedly. "This much. The little greedy cat would make a fuss every time I have something to eat."
"Just like you." Li Yuan poked fun at her with a smile.
Puffing her cheeks, Shen Xi gave in without fighting back. "A good appetite is a blessing. Life's a drag without good food!"
