"Mmm, you eat too, don't just watch me eat, it makes me feel embarrassed."
Ella Lacey slowed down her eating, as if afraid of being embarrassing, taking small, lady-like bites.
The young man sat down beside her with a casual grace.
After she ate about ten fruits, her hunger began to abate, and she tentatively asked, "Do you remember any family you have?"
"..." Ella thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Then from now on, I'm your only family." The young man felt a surge of happiness.
"Alright..."
Ella felt like she had gained something, yet she worriedly said, "Aren't you afraid I'll be a burden to you... I'm a patient..."
"With me around, you'll gradually get better." The young man said confidently.
"Mmm!" Ella nodded enthusiastically.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of dependence on him, this young man was so considerate.
After finishing the fruit,
the young man stood beside her, bent down, and pointed to his back, saying, "Get on, I'll carry you to go hunting."
