"Hmm," Hua Xiaomai responded, feeling tired herself, so she picked a stool to sit beside the two, took the bowl of water Meng Yuhuai offered her, and took a sip. She carelessly wiped her hand on his, "You can fix shoes too?"
"As I've told you before, an escort master must be skilled in all sorts of things when traveling, such as setting up stoves and mending shoes. Escorting is tough work, and the more trouble you can avoid on the road, the better. If you don't know even these things, how can you take care of yourself?" Meng Yuhuai said with a smile, "Are you hungry? There's some food ready in the kitchen and hot water has been boiled. Why don't you go wash up first, and then..."
"There's no rush."
With matters weighing on her mind, Hua Xiaomai couldn't wait and literally sprang up, dragging him toward the room without explanation, "I have something to talk to you about, come inside with me."
