Looking at the woman who sat back in her seat obediently, Long Xuan softened his expression.
"I didn't mean to eat so slowly, I just lost my appetite." After a while, seeing her sullen face, Long Xuan had no choice but to explain and speed up his meal.
Lin Qingyuan was unmoved, picked up her chopsticks, and poked at the steamed buns on the plate to vent her anger.
When Long Xuan saw it, his expression darkened again. He held her wrist and warned, "Even if you can't eat anymore, don't waste the food."
Lin Qingyuan was startled, looked up, and saw the man's serious look, so she had to let go of her hand angrily.
Long Xuan picked up the steamed bun with several holes poked in it by her and started eating it.
Lin Qingyuan saw that he was always frowning, as if he didn't like eating steamed buns, but was reluctant to throw them away. She suddenly remembered what he said when buying candied haws last night.
My heart moved.
Perhaps it was his experiences as a child that made him cherish food so much
Obviously with his current status, there is no need to do that.
But he still maintains his original intention, which is rare.
Thinking of this, she looked at the endless breakfast on the table and suddenly felt guilty.
She actually couldn't eat that much, but she was angry at being bullied by him all the time, so she deliberately ordered so much just to get him to give him more money.
But she had forgotten the hardships she went through when she was reduced to a beggar.
She was very ashamed and uneasy.
I couldn't help but pick up the remaining breakfast on the table and eat it.
Long Xuan looked at her in surprise.
After a while, he frowned when he saw that she was still eating.
She looked like she couldn't eat anymore, but she was still forcing herself. She couldn't help but soften her voice and said, "If you can't eat it, then don't eat it. Just remember next time, don't be extravagant and wasteful, okay?"
Lin Qingyuan really couldn't eat anymore. After hearing this, she put down the food in her hand, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart, so she asked: "What about the rest?"
"Let the waiter pack it up and give it to the beggars outside who have no food to eat." Long Xuan said.
Lin Qingyuan's eyes lit up and she immediately asked the waiter to pack.
After the waiter packed up all the remaining food, Lin Qingyuan looked at the two large bags of food and felt guilty again.
But this time Long Xuan didn't say anything to her. He took the packed food in one hand, held her in the other hand, and walked out.
Even in peaceful times, there will never be a shortage of beggars.
The two came out of the inn and turned around an alley. As expected, there were many beggars gathered there.
Long Xuan distributed the food to them, and they immediately thanked them happily.
Lin Qingyuan looked at their satisfied smiling faces and felt emotional.
While she was wasting food, there were many people starving where she couldn't see.
It's really shameful to waste food!
Today, Long Xuan made her understand a truth.
She will never waste food again.
On the way to the hospital, she was strangely silent.
Long Xuan turned his head and glanced at her, "Still thinking about what happened just now?"
Lin Qingyuan glanced at him and didn't hide it from him, "Yeah."
"Those who don't know are not guilty, so don't blame yourself too much." Long Xuan patted her head comfortingly.
"No." Lin Qingyuan shook her head, "You may not know that I have been a beggar for a period of time before."
Long Xuan paused and looked at her in surprise, "What?"
"My queen, didn't she tell you? In fact, she saved my life." Lin Qingyuan said with emotion.
Long Xuan really didn't know that at that time, he was sent outside by the emperor's uncle, and he didn't know much about many things in the imperial capital.
