At the table, Kyrian had already cut off a piece of the ribs, his movements precise as he separated the meat from the bone. He put the meat into his mouth, chewing slowly, allowing the flavor to develop across his palate.
His eyes widened slightly, a spark of surprise in his gaze.
Gao Ziyue noticed immediately, leaning forward expectantly.
"And?"
Kyrian chewed a few more times before swallowing, savoring every moment.
"Very good."
Her smile widened, illuminating her entire face.
"I knew it."
"The meat is extremely tender." He cut off another piece, observing its texture before bringing it to his mouth.
"And the herbs aren't too strong. They managed to preserve the natural flavor of the meat, enhancing it instead of hiding it."
Gao Ziyue seemed satisfied with his assessment, as if she had received a personal compliment.
