Xiao Xiao took the dessert from Little Taotie's left paw.
Little Taotie's gaze followed the dessert reluctantly as it left him.
But soon, Little Taotie lowered his head.
He shoved the dessert in his right paw into his mouth.
He chewed and swallowed it.
There.
All gone.
Little Taotie licked his teeth.
"Here."
Xiao Xiao split the dessert Little Taotie had given him in half.
"Half for you, half for me."
Little Taotie blinked.
The next second...
Little Taotie swiftly snatched half the dessert from Xiao Xiao's hand.
The slightly larger half, at that.
He popped it into his mouth.
"Pfft~"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing.
"What is it?"
Zhuge Yun asked.
Why had he suddenly laughed?
"Nothing."
Xiao Xiao shook his head. "I just thought of something funny."
"Oh."
Zhuge Yun nodded.
He'd only asked casually.
Xiao Xiao reached out and rubbed Little Taotie's forehead.
He'd thought the little guy would at least pretend to be polite.
He hadn't expected...
But this was the real Little Taotie.
Little Taotie gently shook his head.
What?
Lord Xiao Xiao had given him the dessert.
So he accepted it.
Was that wrong?
"No."
Xiao Xiao smiled. "You did great."
Xiao Xiao finished his half of the dessert.
The sun was shining, and the weather was lovely that day.
The streets were busy with people coming and going.
Their voices were full of laughter.
Xiao Xiao walked out of a newly opened pastry shop.
His hands were full of bags.
The new shop was quite famous.
This was its first branch in Yanjing.
There had been a long line of people waiting since early that morning.
Xiao Xiao had waited for about an hour before his turn came.
