“Not at all, because they are all part of oneself, so they can coordinate quite well,” he laughed, watching her eat the fruit.
“Hey, aren’t you going to eat?” She tilted her head, “You don’t need to wait for Fu. It’s best to eat all the food and let him starve!”
“Truly the most venomous woman’s heart, even willing to abandon her own husband,” came a voice before the person arrived. As the voice ceased, Fu also crossed into the cave. He replaced the wooden board used to block the door, then swaggered over to sit at the only stone table in Zhong San’s home.
“The markets in your country are really interesting,” Fu nodded to Zhong San, casually picking up a piece of fruit to eat.
“Haha, I’m a local, I’ve never found the markets interesting,” Zhong San laughed. “Did you encounter any amusing incidents?”
“Yes, everyone was frightened by my body and limbs, then they asked where I hid my other two bodies. It took quite some explaining to convince them that I’m from far away, and naturally different from them.” Fu looked at Zhong San, patting his shoulder. “Unlike you, we can simply explain, and you can fully believe and accept.”
Zhong San was taken aback, then burst into laughter. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been everywhere since I was young and heard about many customs from different places, so I’m naturally more accepting of you.”
“Perhaps,” Fu laughed. “People who travel widely tend to have broader perspectives.”
“Haha, but I still suggest that it would be better for you not to go out for comparison, because your aim is just to rest. If there is a disturbance due to physical differences between us, I think it would not be good for either you or me.” Zhong San reiterated his hope that they would stay put.
“Alright, I understand, thank you for the reminder,” Xu Ben smiled.
In fact, his purpose for going out had already been achieved, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t go out for now.
They started their dinner, devouring all the food Zhong San had prepared, completely devoid of the manners one should have as guests.
