The girl didn't care that her eyes were red from crying.
Her smile was bright.
"Master Xiao, I'm so glad I met you."
If not for Master Xiao, would she ever have found Huan Huan again on her own?
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Besides Huan Huan, there's someone else here too."
The girl froze.
Someone else... Who?
"Big sister."
At Xiao Xiao's encouraging look, the boy finally spoke, his voice hesitant.
That voice...
"It's you!"
The girl sounded excited.
She recognized the boy's voice at once.
Since she couldn't see, she was especially sensitive to sounds.
Besides, the voice belonged to the person who had taken her most precious Huan Huan. How could she possibly forget it?
"Big sister."
The boy shrank back a little.
He couldn't help glancing at Xiao Xiao again.
His big sister seemed angry...
Well, of course she was angry.
If someone took his Xiao Hei, he'd probably get into a fight with them.
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly to the boy.
The boy took a deep breath.
"What do you want?"
The girl's tone was unfriendly.
Why should she be nice to someone who'd taken Huan Huan away?
Even if he was just a child, he'd still taken something precious from someone else. Was being a child enough to earn forgiveness?
At least, she couldn't do it.
Maybe... it was because she was still a child herself.
She couldn't be as magnanimous as an adult.
"Big sister, I'm sorry!"
The boy shouted.
Everyone nearby turned to look.
The girl was startled by his sudden, loud apology.
"Hey, hey," Meng Jixi quietly reminded him. "Keep your voice down, kid."
"This is a public place."
"Don't disturb everyone."
"Oh."
The boy looked a little sheepish.
"You—"
The girl opened her mouth.
