Hei Xiazi headed toward the kitchen. He knew full well that whenever he was away, Master Hua certainly didn't eat properly—he could tell just by the way Xie Yi kept giving him significant looks.
Master Hua's notorious habit of skipping meals had given Hei Xiazi quite a headache for a good while. A person's body is like steel, and food is like fuel; how could anyone get by without eating? If you tried reasoning with him seriously, he would exploit the loophole to tell you he couldn't manage another bite. Looking at the bird-like portions Xie Yuchen ate, Hei Xiazi could neither bring himself to hit him nor bear to scold him, leaving him completely at his wit's end.
Fortunately, later on, Hei Xiazi started cooking for him personally, and Xie Yuchen would actually be polite enough to polish off every last bite. But Hei Xiazi couldn't possibly cook for him every single day. Sometimes jobs required him to be away for ten days or half a month, which was completely normal, and by the time he returned, he would find that the effort he'd spent fattening Master Hua up just a little had all gone to waste.
