Nyx licked her lips lightly.
Andrew laughed and said, "So Nyx, you're quite the food lover, huh?"
Nyx nodded, looking unexpectedly cute as she replied, "Yeah. I was quite a glutton when I was little. You should have seen my childhood photos; I was really chubby. My mother always said there were no kids that chubby in our family, so she wanted me to lose weight, behave properly, and learn etiquette."
She continued, "But I never listened. I just liked eating, and later my mother gave up on it. My father treated me the best and never scolded me."
Andrew smiled and said, "Then your parents must have really loved you."
Nyx mumbled softly, "Yeah, they loved me very much. It's just a shame that I will never see them again."
Andrew suddenly felt a bit of regret for bringing up such a topic. However, Nyx seemed unaffected. Years of hardship had long since transformed her from a delicate girl into a hardened survivor.
"Andrew," she said suddenly, "If we get the chance, let's visit Holtrien together."
Andrew enthusiastically agreed, "Absolutely! Don't worry. Once you're there, you'll fall in love with Holtrien."
Nyx studied him silently, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Andrew slightly uncomfortable.
When he awkwardly asked, "What is it?"
Nyx teased, "Nothing. I just realized you're not entirely annoying or stupid."
Andrew's face darkened. "Hey, I'm not stupid! You're just biased against me."
