317 Weird Temper (1/2)

She drank a mouthful and felt contented with the aftertaste in her mouth. It tasted really fresh, much better than she had imagined.

”Ruoxin?” Gao Yi asked suddenly.

Hmm? Xia Ruoxin set the bowl down, puzzled. What else was he trying to say?

”I'm hungry, too, Ruoxin. Remember to save half the soup for me, okay? The other bowl is for Rainy. Do you want me to fight with her for the soup? An adult must not lie to a child.”

Rainy nodded her head furiously as she continued to eye that bowl of soup on the table. That was for her. Uncle had made her a promise.

Xia Ruoxin merely held the bowl in her hands. Save the other half for him? However, she had already drunk from the bowl. Would he be able to avoid it?

”Drink, quick. I'm hungry, too.” Gao Yi rushed her again. In fact, he was just teasing her. ”I'm hungry. Don't forget that Rainy and I are patients.”

Xia Ruoxin quickly put the bowl at her lips again. She had almost forgotten that he was a patient, too. He might look really healthy, but he was still a patient. She had a few sips until there was half a bowl of egg soup left. Then, she placed the bowl in front of him.

Gao Yi took it unceremoniously and drank directly from the bowl. There was no indication that he had disliked her leftovers.

However, Xia Ruoxin felt awkward, and she did not know where to put her hands.

Gao Yi finished the soup in a few gulps. To him, this was probably the best soup he had drank since his childhood. He put the bowl down and realized that Rainy had been staring at him with her big and bright eyes.

”Uncle, I have finished.” She waved the bottle in the air. True to her word, she had finished every last drop.

”Aren't you worried that your tummy will become too full and explode?” He pinched the child's cute little nose as he accepted the other bowl of soup from Xia Ruoxin with one hand.

”You can really eat. Are you a piggy? Your mom and I had to share one bowl of soup. Whereas a little imp like you get to eat one whole bowl on your own. You're eating 2 adults' portion.”

Rainy merely chuckled.

That's because she liked the soup.

”Alright, come and drink your soup.” Gao Yi picked up a spoon and started feeding her a mouthful at a time. He wiped the corners of her mouth, extremely patient with the little girl. She could be a charmer when her mood called for it. That made people irresistible to her charms.

”Ruoxin, Rainy will be well soon enough. Shall we bring her to the amusement park then?” Gao Yi continued to feed her. He did not dare to take his eyes off her or the soup, afraid of getting soup on her face.

When she heard his intention, Xia Ruoxin was suddenly sad. It had been a long time since she had brought Rainy to an amusement park. Even if they were there, she and Rainy would be admiring the landscape. Rainy had never been on those fun rides before.

”Yes.” Her eyes were tearing up. This time, she must make sure that Rainy had fun at the park. Naturally, Xia Ruoxin would try to earn as much money as possible.

”Ruoxin.” Gao Yi rested his hand on Xia Ruoxin's shoulder. Once again, he had read her mind and the sadness that was in her eyes. This woman was thinking of her past. It had been tough on her for such a long time that she thought her life would continue like this.
