He...
wanted to see Little Joy again.
Xu He's fingers gently rubbed the scratch on the back of his hand, the one Little Fatty had just made.
Noticing Xu He's movement, Little Fatty immediately said, "I didn't do it on purpose."
"You grabbed me first."
"I was just..."
Little Fatty tried hard to think.
A few seconds later, inspiration struck him. "Self-defense!"
That was right.
He'd only been defending himself.
The teacher chuckled.
Using "self-defense" here...
It wasn't entirely inappropriate.
But it wasn't quite right, either...
Xu He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Little Fatty.
Then he looked away again.
His mind was full of nervousness, anticipation, and unease...
He had no energy to spend on chatting.
When Xu He ignored him, Little Fatty curled his lip.
Hmph.
Little Fatty sniffed.
The aroma of popcorn drifted through the movie theater.
It smelled so good...
Little Fatty turned his head.
And it tasted good, too.
Thinking of the popcorn the big sister had given him earlier, Little Fatty licked his lips.
He wanted popcorn again.
What a shame...
There was no big sister here to give him popcorn this time.
Little Fatty suddenly thought of something.
He put his hand into his pants pocket.
Soon, gazing at the candy in his palm, Little Fatty grinned.
It was the candy Eldest Brother had given him.
He'd dropped it on the ground earlier, but Xu He had picked it up and returned it to him.
Little Fatty peeled off the Candy Wrapper and was just about to put the candy in his mouth...
As if he'd thought of something, Little Fatty looked at Xu He.
"Eldest Brother gave me this candy."
"There's only one."
Xu He:...
What was he telling him that for?
