Yu Huang held Sheng Xiao’s hand and walked into the canteen with him in her high heels.
After entering the canteen, Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Sit for a while. I’ll make you something to eat.”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she didn’t ask further.
Yu Huang chose a seat by the window and sat down. She drank her milk tea and watched as Sheng Xiao carried the bag into the kitchen. Through the glass window of the canteen, Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao’s back figure.
She didn’t know what he was doing, but she saw his hands rubbing something in the basin.
“Glutinous rice balls.” Yu Huang belatedly remembered that today was the last day of the year.
Sheng Xiao said, “You once told me that the last day of the year is called the new year. You and your adoptive parents would gather to eat glutinous rice balls.”
Sheng Xiao handed one of the bowls to Yu Huang. “Eat it. We’ll still be together next year.”
Yu Huang was touched. She picked up a porcelain spoon and scooped up a glutinous rice ball. Before eating the glutinous rice ball, she said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, I would have eaten you.” She took a bite of the glutinous rice ball and sugar flowed out from the corner of her soft lips.
Yu Huang stuck out her cherry red tongue and licked the syrup away slowly. She looked at Sheng Xiao with a dark gaze and said in a serious tone, “Eat you slowly from the inside out.”
Sheng Xiao tightened his grip on the porcelain spoon. The hot soup in the spoon was shaking.
Sheng Xiao took a deep breath. He swallowed the glutinous rice ball and looked down. “I booked a room in Rakshasa City. I’ll bring you there later.”
Yu Huang’s eyes lit up.
There were five glutinous rice balls in that bowl. Yu Huang finished them and placed the bowl in front of Sheng Xiao. She said, “More.”
Sheng Xiao said, “There’s more. I left ten for you.”
“Then bring them all over.”
“Okay.”
After eating the glutinous rice balls, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao decided to set off for Rakshasa City.
When the two of them were about to reach the school gate, they met Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao walked behind with a trash bag and the pet Yu Huang walked slowly in front.
When Yu Huang saw Yu Huang, it ran straight into Yu Huang’s arms.
Yu Huang caught Yu Huang and exclaimed, “Yu Huang, you’ve gained weight.” It felt a little heavy.
Yu Huang howled and laid in Yu Huang’s arms while acting cute. Yu Huang stroked Yu Huang’s shiny fur and shouted at Mo Xiao, “Godfather.”
Sheng Xiao quickly shouted, “Godfather.”
Mo Xiao looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao. He said, “Do you want to enter the city?” They were the first to complete the mission. They could arrange their time freely during the break. Even Mo Xiao couldn’t stop them.
Yu Huang nodded and said, “I heard that the cinema in Rakshasa City are very good. Let’s go watch a movie.”
Mo Xiao smiled meaningfully. “You two are on a date. No matter what you’re going to do, you don’t have to report the details to me.” With that said, he reached out and took Yu Huang from Yu Huang’s arms.
Yu Huang blushed. She held Sheng Xiao’s hand and walked past Mo Xiao.
