They ordered tea and snacks.
They began an interminable wait.
At the sound of the door closing, the child abruptly turned around.

The child nervously pressed her lips together.
She slowly turned around.
The education she had received all this time made it impossible for her to remain unmoved when someone called her name.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's eyes curved slightly.
"Are you hungry?"

The child stared blankly.

Xiao Xiao winked at the child.

Its pleasant fragrance filled her mouth.
The child narrowed her eyes.
Delicious.
