Ming Mei felt the little one in her belly seemed to want a drink, and said, "Alright...I'll just have a little bit..."
She turned her head and looked at Kang Chen eagerly, "Can I drink it?"
That expectant, envious look made Kang Chen's heart itch; he really wanted to take her home, hide her from everyone else's view, and keep her all to himself.
Kang Chen cleared his throat, adjusted his emotions, and nodded, "Of course you can, but don't overdo it."
Ming Mei nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I know, I'm not a child anymore; I know my limits. I just went for a walk to digest a bit, so I can handle a small bowl of soup."
Ming Mei really felt that she was too greedy now; she wanted to eat everything she saw.
It must be because the days on the island were so hard that she deprived her taste buds.
Kang Chen served Ming Mei a small bowl, careful not to let her drink too much, with just two small pieces of ribs and a few chunks of yam.
