Inside the stone house.
Qiao Lie sat quietly on the wooden bed.
Hearing a sound, he turned to glance at Qiao Xixi.
But he quickly turned away again.
Qiao Xixi walked up behind him and asked softly, "Qiao Lie, what's wrong? Don't you like the stir-fried meat with red-red fruit?"
The corners of Qiao Lie's eyes were tense. His legs had transformed into his snake body, coiled tightly.
"Why did you only feed them and not me?"
Qiao Lie suddenly spun around, the corners of his eyes red.
Qiao Xixi froze.
'I can't believe he's mad about this,' she thought.
She took out the red-red fruits in her hand and said in a low voice, "Of course, it's because Mother wanted to save the biggest one for you."
She picked out the largest one and held it to Qiao Lie's mouth.
"Here, try it. It's delicious."
Qiao Lie stared at the red-red fruit, which was indeed much larger. He was stunned, and even his tense body began to relax.
"Hmph. I wasn't mad because you didn't feed me a red-red fruit."
