Son, “Mom” Will Back You

hen the ribs started piling up in his plate.
The girl next to him was busy like a little squirrel stashing away pine nuts.
Except this was probably a foolish little squirrel who stashed all of its haul to someone else’s home.

Luo Xiu didn’t say anything and the little assistant started speculating all on his own.
“It must be that little big sister who was dishing out food who gave you all the extra meat.
Aye, too bad she didn’t know that you are planning on joining the temple this year and have not had red meat in a long…

“Huh?”

Gu Nian, who had returned after dropping off her tray, looked at the small pile of ribs that she had stashed up in Luo Xiu’s Styrofoam box and asked, “The ribs they made at this canteen is tender and flavorful.
It’s really quite tasty.
Do you not like them?”

Luo Xiu looked up at her and answered her question with a question.
“You like them?”

Gu Nian nodded seriously.
“Meat is a belief.
To have a meal without meat is a like not eating at all.”

Luo Xiu chuckled.

The little assistant wasn’t very happy with her and rebutted her purposefully.
“What kind of belief is meat? Both Buddhism and Taoism have rules against eating meat.
No slaughtering of lifeforms is the true belief.”

Having said that, the little assistant turned to Luo Xiu to seek his approval.
“Am I right, Brother Luo…”

The little assistant was expressionless when he saw the piece of rib picked up by the pair of chopsticks help between the slender fingers.

A few seconds later, the little assistant roared inside…

Boss!!

Do you still remember that you planned to join the Taoist temple shortly??

The fox demon was purposefully tempting you to break the rules.
You must hold your grooooooound!!!

After lunch, the three of them went over to the filming studio.
When they arrived, they still have a little bit of time left before Luo Xiu’s scene was up.

As such, they picked to wait in a remote corner inside of the lounge area for the actors.
Gu Nian was somehow able to find a stool for herself and, squatting there next to Luo Xiu’s lounger, she started analyzing the parts of Yun Tan to him to great length.
