The brothers ate their breakfast in a somewhat heavy silence. Duan Liuguang, perhaps nursing a grudge over his elder brother’s kick, didn't bother serving any food to him. Instead, he piled everything into Azhu’s bowl. When Azhu said she couldn't eat any more, he simply shoveled it into his own bowl, still not offering a thing to his brother. Duan Bowen, having already felt much better after that kick, couldn't have cared less about the boy’s attitude. Azhu, however, felt embarrassed, though as a woman, she didn't dare serve Duan Bowen. The entire meal left her walking on eggshells.
Duan Liuguang didn't notice a thing. Eventually, feeling his brother looked a bit pitiful, he finally ladled out some extra porridge for him.
"You, only a few days apart and you’re already turning your back on your own kin," Duan Bowen remarked.
