To Hu Liena and Xie Yue, the scene looked like a child coaxing an adult throwing a tantrum. It was unbearably adorable.
Hu Liena nudged Xie Yue with her elbow and whispered, "Look at Yan, picking a fight with a kid. He's not even as sensible as an eight-year-old."
Xie Yue smiled faintly. "The day he starts acting sensible is the day I'll find him strange."
Yan's face reddened even further. He shot Jiang Lan a vicious glare, yet somehow still opened his mouth and bit into the orange candy.
The instant the sweetness melted across his tongue, his expression stiffened. Then he turned his face away and muttered vaguely, "...It's alright."
"See? You're feeling better now, aren't you?" Jiang Lan said with a grin, patting his little belly.
Given Yan's height, the highest Jiang Lan could reach was a spot slightly above his knees.
Hu Liena laughed so hard she trembled, and even Xie Yue could not help turning away with a chuckle.
Yan crunched the candy loudly, viciously thinking that he would investigate exactly who this little brat named Jiang Lan was when he got back tonight.
The baked flatbreads came out of the oven, steaming hot, their fragrance wafting straight into everyone's noses.
Jiang Lan gave the first one to Hu Liena, the second to Doro, and only took the third for himself.
He took a bite, his eyes narrowing into two slits.
"If you want some again later, just come find me. My nose is the sharpest," Jiang Lan said as he ate, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's. "I can tell which place is good with just one sniff."
Hu Liena was endlessly amused by him and could not resist picking him up again.
"How are you so entertaining?" Hu Liena sighed.
