“This is for you.” Jun Zeye sounded less stiff and there seemed to be a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
He proffered the candy to the little girl.
The candy had a cute rabbit packaging and the little girl was enthralled by it. Although her mother had taught her that she shouldn’t take things from strangers… but she really liked the candy because it was really cute.
What should I do?
The little girl’s eyes lit up but she seemed hesitant.
Jun Zeye simply pulled her little hand over and put the candy into her hand before continuing on.
The little girl stared blankly. Then she quickly turned around and shouted at him, “Thanks, Mister!”
She took the candy, smiling happily as though he were the best present in the world.
…
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao was woken by someone.
As soon as she opened her eyes, an elegant face appeared right in front of her. As the sunlight fell upon his face, it was such a dashing sight that she felt as if she were going to faint.
“What are you doing…” Her voice was raspy as she waved her little paw at him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
“It’s time to get up. You’ve been sleeping for a long time. Get up and eat something.”
“What time is it?” Mu Xiaoxiao’s brows furrowed as she pulled back her hand. She hugged the soft pillow and buried her little head in it, looking as though she didn’t want to leave.
“It’s nine-thirty!” Yin Shaojie said helplessly. His long fingers reached over and pinched her nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao wiggled her little head because the pinching irritated her. “Stop it. I want to continue sleeping. I’m tired from the long flight, okay? And I have to recover from jet lag…”
“No more sleeping. Get up and eat breakfast.” Yin Shaojie was bossy. He reached his hands under her, attempting to lift her.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was very proficient at dawdling in bed. She rolled to the other side of the bed so that he couldn’t have his way.
“Let me sleep for five more minutes…” She raised her hand and spread her fingers at him.
“Alright,” Yin Shaojie said.
However, shortly after he came to disturb her again.
“Boohoo, let me sleep for another five more minutes…” Mu Xiaoxiao cried in protest, her voice muffled by the pillow.
Yin Shaojie said, “It’s been five minutes already. Hurry up. The breakfast is getting cold.”
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Had five minutes passed already?
She didn’t believe it. He must be lying!
This time, Yin Shaojie had been very mischievous. He went in front of the bed, grabbed her ankle, and pulled her toward him.
Mu Xiaoxiao cried out, jerking her legs as she tried to kick him.
However, Yin Shaojie slapped her butt and snorted, “Behave yourself!”
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and rubbed her butt, and said pitiably, “Why did you hit me… Bastard!”
Yin Shaojie reached under her arms and lifted her up, making her sit at the end of the bed.
“If I let you sleep again, you’ll sleep until the end of time. You didn’t eat much on the plane, and you’ve been sleeping for so long. If you still refuse to eat, it’ll be bad for your stomach, okay?” he lectured her.
“I’m tired…” Mu Xiaoxiao’s tone sounded like that of a spoiled child.
“You still have to eat something first. After you eat, you can rest for as long as you like.” She wasn’t going to go back to school immediately anyways.
Yin Shaojie pulled her up onto her feet.
