Just then, the little girl suddenly spotted a candied hawthorn stall nearby, and her adorable big eyes instantly lit up.
"Big brother, buy me a candied hawthorn skewer! Please~ I promise you, I'll really only eat one today!" The little girl shook Bai Ze's arm as she coquettishly pleaded with him.
Her bright, watery eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, gazing at Bai Ze with such expectation that it was truly impossible to refuse her request.
