Le Tong listened to him speak with his crisp voice, watching as he stuffed his little hand into his sleeve, and stammered a reply.
"A little baby!"
Ji Baby extended his index finger, pointed it at Le Tong's nose, and mischievously laughed, "A beautiful sister!"
Le Tong pulled up her lips into a smile, but her eyes held a sadness too deep to dissolve.
"A little brat!"
Le Tong mimicked Baby's action, lightly tapping his nose, trying hard to say something that could lift her mood.
Actually, it's supposed to be a happy day, right?
Thinking this, Le Tong's smile grew a bit deeper, even though the sadness in her eyes remained, it was much less pronounced than before.
"A scary sister!"
Ji Baby huffed, probably remembering how Le Tong had reprimanded him at the hotel and in the yard today.
Le Tong's eyes, which had just regained some spirit, dimmed again as she fastened the buttons on his coat, fetching Ji Baby's little sweater, and spoke earnestly.
