Even though her tongue was uncomfortable, Shuangshuang's heart was filled with joy. After putting down the fruit shell, she lunged forward and started frantically picking these gray and shriveled fruits! She didn't even care if she might get pricked by the thorns on the vines.
Seeing Shuangshuang's reaction, both Tie and Ben were a bit surprised. If Tie were living in modern times, he would be an exemplary father. He didn't care about what Shuangshuang wanted to do. Seeing her frantically picking the fruits and seemingly liking them a lot, and considering that the vines were covered in thorns, he feared they might prick Shuangshuang's small hands, so he immediately stepped forward to help pick the fruits.
Unlike Tie, Ben was more thoughtful. He noticed Shuangshuang's excited expression after tasting the fruit and her eager fruit-picking, so he first picked one fruit and peeled it to take a small bite!
