Uchiha Hikaru could tell from the little girl's reaction that many people must have snatched away the food she had worked so hard to get before. That was why her instincts made her act this way.
That tiny gesture was enough to make anyone's heart ache. It gave him an overwhelming, urgent desire to hold the little girl tightly and protect her properly.
Uchiha Hikaru therefore made up his mind to take the little girl away and at least give her a good life. Only then could he bear to leave this prosperous city. How could there be such a destitute little girl here?
Moreover, the girl looked to be only about the same age as Spinach. But Spinach was a boy, and it did not matter how much wind and rain he endured. Shouldn't girls her age be cherished and doted on in the palms of their parents' hands?
Uchiha Hikaru truly could not bear to see the girl suffer like this, especially out on the streets. Spring, summer, and autumn were manageable, but if winter came, how was she supposed to withstand the bitter cold?
At that thought, Uchiha Hikaru's nose stung. He could not imagine how someone could endure such a life day after day. Even he found it hard to bear, let alone a little girl.
"It's all right. Don't be afraid. I just wanted to give you a bun. I bought two buns, and I've already eaten one. I ate at home too, and I'm a little full now. I can't eat anymore, so you can have it."
"Or, if you don't like it, I can buy another one. The two of us can eat together. I'm so lonely anyway, and no one keeps me company while I eat. Why don't we eat together?"
