Once again, the staring contest between Junxi and Alix began with a full force. They were settled in Alix's room on the bed as Nana cradled the baby in her arms.
"You should hold her."
"No."
The answer was so immediate and instantaneous that Nana let out a cough. "Why not?"
"She's too delicate."
"I know holding a baby can feel nervous but I am here with you."
The light in Junxi's eyes clearly seemed to agree to the notion. Though Alix wanted to protest further, Nana gently placed her in her arms anyway.
These people really seem to like dumping such fragile creatures in my hand…
Junxi happily cooed and a bright smile laced her lips as she comfortably nestled against her chest. From Nana's hair locks, she now focused her attention on tugging Alix's dress. Alix stared at her little movements with great detail and attention. It was as if she was trying to drown the despair of today's day with the shine of her eyes.
