They really were two kids.
Xiao Xiao found the childish way the boy and girl celebrated amusing and endearing.
"Calm down."
The girl's expression turned serious.
After a moment's pause, the boy also reined in his overly open display of emotion.
"Big Brother."
The girl looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Are you coming to the hospital with us?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Oh, right."
The girl wasn't surprised by Xiao Xiao's answer at all.
She'd thought he would.
"Then... could we trouble you for your contact information?"
The girl gripped the phone she'd somehow ended up holding.
"All right."
Xiao Xiao's agreement made the boy and girl cheer inwardly.
"Big Brother, this is my number."
The girl called the number Xiao Xiao had given her. "Um..."
Seeing the girl looking torn between worry and not wanting to say so outright, Xiao Xiao took out his phone.
The incoming number on the screen made the girl's expression brighten.
That was right.
It was her number.
The girl beamed.
"Big Brother, that's my number."
"Once we've let Grandma know and made the arrangements, we'll get in touch."
"Big Brother—"
"Aren't you going to save my number?"
The boy asked tactfully.
The girl looked as if he'd just reminded her.
"Big Brother, make sure you don't think it's some telemarketing call when we call."
"Don't mistake it for an unknown number and ignore it..."
"This is my number."
"My name is Chen Ying."
"I'm Chen Cong."
The boy introduced himself too.
"Big Brother, you could save us as 'the kids who want to borrow the fox.'"
The girl suggested.
"Or 'the siblings who want to borrow the fox.'"
The boy thought that kind of contact name might make it easier for Big Brother to remember meeting them
