"Ah."
A kind passerby reminded Xiao Xiao.
"It seems those two kids are calling for you."
Xiao Xiao's brows lifted slightly.
Calling for him?
Although he was puzzled—
He didn't know many children.
No.
Very few.
After all, he wasn't good at interacting with children.
He preferred talking with people who weren't so outgoing.
They wouldn't be so enthusiastic that he felt uncomfortable, nor so quiet that things became awkward.
And many children tended to be especially outgoing.
Xiao Xiao stopped walking.
"Big Brother!"
Xiao Xiao looked down.
He saw little hands clutching his clothes.
Two of them.
All right.
Judging by the situation, those two children really were calling for him.
Xiao Xiao looked at the children's faces.
Hm?
Xiao Xiao's brows rose slightly.
They were two familiar faces, at least.

Even the most outgoing children rarely chased after strangers on the street.
"Huan Huan, Lele."
Xiao Xiao called the two children by name.
That's right.
The two children before him were Grandma Tian's grandson and granddaughter, whom he'd met once before.
"Hello."
Xiao Xiao gestured for the children to move farther in.
They shouldn't get too close to the busy road.
"Big Brother."
The boy and girl tugged at Xiao Xiao's clothes, following close behind as he walked.
A strange look flashed through Xiao Xiao's eyes.
Since when had he become so popular with children?
Was it because he'd taken these two to buy ice cream last time?
Xiao Xiao quickly thought of a reasonable explanation.
He nodded to himself.
He thought his guess was pretty plausible.
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao answered gently.
"Huan Huan, Lele..."
He looked around.
He didn't see anyone who looked like the children's parent.
And this place was some distance from the little square
