âThis is for you.â 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 shouldnât take things from strangers⦠but she really liked the candy because it was really cute.
What should I do?
The little girlâs 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, âThanks, Mister!â
She took the candy, smiling happily as though he were the best present in the world.
â¦
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.
âWhat are you doingâ¦â Her voice was raspy as she waved her little paw at him.
Yin Shaojie grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
âItâs time to get up. Youâve been sleeping for a long time. Get up and eat something.â
âWhat time is it?â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs brows furrowed as she pulled back her hand. She hugged the soft pillow and buried her little head in it, looking as though she didnât want to leave.
âItâs nine-thirty!â Yin Shaojie said helplessly. His long fingers reached over and pinched her nose.
Mu Xiaoxiao wiggled her little head because the pinching irritated her. âStop it. I want to continue sleeping. Iâm tired from the long flight, okay? And I have to recover from jet lagâ¦â
âNo more sleeping. Get up and eat breakfast.â 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 couldnât have his way.
âLet me sleep for five more minutesâ¦â She raised her hand and spread her fingers at him.
âAlright,â Yin Shaojie said.
However, shortly after he came to disturb her again.
âBoohoo, let me sleep for another five more minutesâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao cried in protest, her voice muffled by the pillow.
Yin Shaojie said, âItâs been five minutes already. Hurry up. The breakfast is getting cold.â
Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Had five minutes passed already?
She didnât 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, âBehave yourself!â
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and rubbed her butt, and said pitiably, âWhy did you hit me⦠Bastard!â
Yin Shaojie reached under her arms and lifted her up, making her sit at the end of the bed.
âIf I let you sleep again, youâll sleep until the end of time. You didnât eat much on the plane, and youâve been sleeping for so long. If you still refuse to eat, itâll be bad for your stomach, okay?â he lectured her.
âIâm tiredâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs tone sounded like that of a spoiled child.
âYou still have to eat something first. After you eat, you can rest for as long as you like.â She wasnât going to go back to school immediately anyways.
Yin Shaojie pulled her up onto her feet.
