Xiao Xiao wanted to say something.
In the end, he simply smiled and replied, "All right."
He knew that even if he refused, the elderly man wouldn't agree.
Since that was the case, he'd better just do as the elderly man said.
He walked into the living room.
He had left his two bags of desserts by the entrance.

"Awooo!"
Taotie was indignant.

Taotie shook his head.

Hmm.
But...
Didn't that count as this human waiting on him just now?
Thinking of it that way, Taotie immediately felt much better.
He grinned.

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Ginger soup."
The old woman smiled.
"That's right."
"It's ginger soup."
"Come on, drink it while it's hot."
The old woman set the ginger soup on the coffee
