Although Lei Zhenzi had the appearance of a mature young man, he still had the nature of a boy.
Seeing these two apricots, fresh and red, emitting a unique fragrance, he was so happy that he instantly transformed from a stern-faced Daoist into a boy discovering wild fruits while playing in the mountains.
He picked the two wild fruits, thinking to himself he would eat one and bring the other back as an offering to his master.
He put one fruit in his mouth, and it melted instantly, sweet and delicious, filling his whole body with a warm and indescribable comfort.
Although Lei Zhenzi was filial, he was also a child with a greedy mouth, and couldn't help but take a bite of the other fruit. When he realized it, he regretted it instantly.
With a change of thought, he figured he'd already bitten it, so he might as well eat it all, and thus he devoured the other apricot as well.
