Xiao Cheng raised his foot and stamped hard on Jiang Chiyan's instep.
Xiao Cheng was sitting, while Jiang Chiyan was standing.
With one hand braced on the table, Jiang Chiyan simply leaned down and kissed the salad dressing off the corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth.

Da Bai, the nanny, pushed a stroller, softly singing a lovely nursery rhyme to soothe the baby.
The baby, only a few months old, blew a milk bubble and nestled quietly in the stroller.

Xiao Cheng's lips moved, and he wanted to say something more.
Jiang Chiyan draped an arm around his shoulders and headed upstairs, coaxing softly, "Stop overthinking.
