Hey, what's wrong with you, fatty? One word would have been enough; there's no need to be so long-winded. Just about the act of 'eating,' Zhang Xiaobo actually repeated it so many times.
Of course, this doesn't rule out another possibility in Zhang Xiaobo's thoughts; he might want to emphasize the term 'eating' to express his intentions.
In fact, that's exactly the case. Zhang Xiaobo's thoughts at this moment are very simple, extremely simple, so simple that someone could mistakenly believe they're anything but.
