Xiao Xiao's lips curled upward.
"This is..."
"The miracle that belongs to Bao Bao."
A smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was serious or joking.
"Belongs to..."
Madam Xiao paused. "Bao Bao's miracle?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

He nodded.
"All right."
