Bai Qingqing ate two huge bowls of meat for this meal as well. If it wasn’t for the fact that she really couldn’t stuff any more food into her tummy, she still felt like eating two more bowls. Smacking her lips, the satisfied Bai Qingqing exclaimed, “I only realized how delicious meat is today! So satisfying!”

“You don’t like to eat rice anymore?” Parker felt disappointed. He had selected twenty over seeds from the bag of rice and was even planning to exchange for more. He really wanted to let Qingqing eat the rice he personally planted. And now she was saying she didn’t like it anymore?

Ah, the snake has gotten Qingqing so much rice. She must have gotten sick of it.

Bai Qingqing shook her head and said with certainty, “Of course not. I will never get sick of rice.” Having eaten rice for over ten years, she wouldn’t be able to kick this dietary habit.

Parker heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, “That’s great.”

Bai Qingqing glanced at him. Strange. Doesn’t Parker hate to see females eating rice? Why did he suddenly change his attitude towards this matter?

“You don’t hate that I eat rice anymore?”

Parker recalled what he said to Bai Qingqing when he first brought her back, and his ears flushed instantly out of embarrassment about his stinginess. To conceal his feelings, he stuffed food into his mouth. “There’s so much rice in the house. It’d be a waste not to eat more.”

“If we don’t wish to eat it, we can always sell it away,” said Bai Qingqing, seemingly unconcerned. “Isn’t salt very expensive? We can use that to exchange for salt.”

Parker turned his head and glared at Bai Qingqing. “You’re not to sell it.”

Bai Qingqing gazed at Parker with a questioning look. The latter turned his head away and said incoherently, “It’s not as if I can’t afford to support you. Why should we sell it?”

1Bai Qingqing felt a sweetness in her heart. He clearly couldn’t bear to see her eat poorly, yet he was being so awkward about it.

She lowered her head and smiled, choosing not to expose his lie.

It was drizzling lightly outside. In the shelter next to the stone house, the twenty over short-winged birds were behaving poorly due to the rain, tugging at the vines binding their feet and trying with all their might to fly out of the shelter, making a great din.
