During the dinner, Shi Aoju spoke very little, it was mostly Quan Xin talking about her experiences abroad, while the other two who would usually liven up the atmosphere remained as silent as fossils.
Su Jiuyi, standing straight with a plate in her hands in the dining room, couldn't help but comment on how long the dinner was taking—her hands and feet were extremely sore, as if she might drop the plate at any moment.
Shi Aoju also noticed her reaction; in fact, Quan Xin hadn't eaten much, and Qin Shaobai and Song Zhike had almost finished their meals too, but it was inconvenient to interrupt Quan Xin's conversation.
At this moment, Shi Quan accidentally knocked a fork off the table with her wrist, subconsciously glanced at the floor, and then said:
"Give me another fork."
Just as she spoke, Su Jiuyi could no longer hold on, and the plate slipped from her hands, with all the utensils inside scattering onto the floor.
"Oh, sorry."
