The Children's Business
Everyone dug in.
Xiao Xiao scooped up a piece of watermelon and put it in his mouth, too.
Mm.
Just as Zhang Bo and the others had said...
The watermelon was very sweet.
"Awroo~"
Having quickly finished his watermelon, little Taotie fixed his sights on a new target.
That's right.
The peaches Xiao Xiao had bought along with the watermelon.
Nearly every peach in the bag was about the same size as little Taotie.
Their color was beautiful.
Their fragrance was enticing.
Little Taotie stared at them with longing.
Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
"After I finish my watermelon."
Little Taotie's face immediately fell.
Lord Xiao Xiao still had so much watermelon left.
Although, to little Taotie, eating all of it would take only a few seconds.
Little Taotie anxiously circled Xiao Xiao's watermelon.
Every now and then, it looked up to check on the watermelon.
So slow...
Why was it taking so long...
Why was Lord Xiao Xiao eating so slowly!?
Xiao Xiao's lowered eyelids hid the amusement that flickered in his eyes.
He ate the watermelon one bite at a time, unhurriedly and at his own pace.
Little Taotie grew more and more impatient as it paced.
In the end, it simply lay down on the rim of the bowl.
It gazed at Lord Xiao Xiao with pleading eyes.
Xiao Xiao looked back at little Taotie.
His expression was innocent.
"Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly is good for you."
Little Taotie: ...
But it wasn't good for its health!
Little Taotie was practically fuming with impatience.
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
All right.
He wouldn't tease little Taotie anymore.
He quickly finished the rest of the watermelon, then stood up.
