The boy had already decided that this year, when he asked Grandma to buy him a cake, he would ask for a red ribbon.
Once, he had seen Xiao Hei staring at the red bow headband on a girl passing by.
He wondered if Xiao Hei liked red.
Red and black did look good together.
"Huan Huan~"
A somewhat unexpected voice broke the quiet.
"Huan Huan?"
The girl lowered her head. "What's wrong?"
Huan Huan rarely made a sound.
It was always quietly by her side.
So she always paid close attention whenever Huan Huan called out.
Whenever Huan Huan made a sound, something was definitely wrong.
Unfortunately, she couldn't understand Huan Huan's words. She could only make guesses and slowly figure out what it meant.
But there was someone present who understood Huan's language.
Xiao Xiao was genuinely surprised.
"You've seen Xiao Hei?"
The others either couldn't hear Huan Huan or couldn't understand it, but everyone understood Xiao Xiao's words.
Their faces were all filled with confusion and shock.
"Master Xiao—"
"Big Brother, you've seen Xiao Hei?!"
The boy's shout cut Meng Jixi off.
Their table once again became the center of attention.
Xiao Xiao gave the diners beside them an apologetic smile.
"Kid."
Meng Jixi put a hand on the boy's shoulder, smiling without warmth. "Watch yourself in public."
"Don't be so loud."
"Ah, okay."
The boy nodded hurriedly. "I understand."
Big Brother looked so scary.
The boy couldn't help edging closer to Xiao Xiao. "Big Brother."
The boy clasped his hands tightly, his words coming out in a rush. "Xiao Hei... Xiao Hei..."
For a moment, he couldn't manage a complete sentence.
"Master Xiao, what did you mean just now?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Meng Jixi asked the question for the boy.
