So thin...
Did she really look good?
She'd even scared that girl.
Madam Xiao sighed and shook her head.
She hoped that boy hadn't become so thin he looked like a paper doll because he was trying to lose weight.
But if it was for health reasons...
Then she'd rather get this thin herself.
"He's so thin."
Old Master Xiao shook his head in disapproval.
"What's so good about being skin and bones?"
"He doesn't have an ounce of energy."
"Just looking at him makes me feel uncomfortable."
"I'm not saying he has to be fat."
"But at least he should have enough flesh on his face, right?"
"Nowadays, when I see boys and girls about Xiao Xiao's age, I worry that if they're pushed too hard, they'll just snap in half."
"It's terrifying."
"Xiao Xiao's still the best."
The old man praised his grandson.
"Not fat."
"Not too thin, either."
"He's just nice to look at."
Xiao Xiao laughed. He took the tray Father Xiao handed him. "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'll head out first."
"Mm, go ahead."
The old man waved his hand.
"After having our tea and pastries, that boy should feel a little better."
Xiao Xiao set the tea and pastries on the table one by one.
The distracted boy was so startled, he nearly jumped out of his seat.
He looked up at Xiao Xiao, almost panicked.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Is there anything you need help with?"
The boy abruptly looked away.
The next second, he suddenly turned his head back.
His wide eyes stared blankly at... the Feifei on Xiao Xiao's shoulder?
Xiao Xiao tilted his face slightly and glanced at Feifei, who had its eyes closed as if dozing.
