Link chewed on the spicy chicken wings and said with a smile to the stunned group, "I thought about the delicious food at ho and didn’t stay any longer. I left the work to Anna and Simon and the others and ca back."

"You ca back so early just to eat?"

Selena pouted, looking at him discontentedly.

The match had been too tense and she hadn’t had a chance to eat anything. She had planned to eat after the match was over, but who would have expected Link to co back early? With Link, the big eater there, her little stomach couldn’t compete.

Today, the food on the table was going to be eaten by him.

Selena didn’t dare to say much else and snatched the chicken wings; stuffing her small mouth full, she suddenly found that the snatched chicken wings seed even more delicious.

Link chuckled and shook his head: even with her small capacity, she was trying to compete with him for food, completely overestimating herself. He picked up a big box of Boston baked shrimp and started eating.

"Look at you two, what a sight."

Taylor teased, sitting between them.
