Tang Yuchen didn’t miss the triumphant look in her eyes, and suddenly he felt that her actions weren’t excessive at all, but rather cute.
This woman, she finds toying with him amusing, doesn’t she?
The corners of the man’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up. It was strange, being teased by her, he actually found it very joyful.
"If I hadn’t managed to get here in time, were you planning to leave by yourself?" he couldn’t help but ask her.
"Of course, why should I wait for you?" An Ruo picked up her own luggage and strode towards the security checkpoint with her head held high.
The man hurried to follow her, his empty hand reaching out to hold hers. She struggled a few times but couldn’t shake him off, so she let it be.
Even though the planned four-day trip had only lasted two days, Tang Yuchen still felt very happy and thought the outing was well worth it. Because he could feel that An Ruo’s attitude towards him had softened slightly, it was no longer so stiff.
Upon returning to J City, An Ruo rested only briefly before rushing to the hospital to visit Kangkang. She had missed him terribly after two days without seeing him.
Kangkang was playing in the children’s room, where several other children, all inpatients, were also having fun.
An Ruo walked up to him, excitedly lifted him into her arms, and kissed his tender cheeks a few times: "Kangkang, Mom is here to see you, did you miss me?"
The little guy slightly tilted his head to avoid her kisses and continued to play with his toy without looking up.
An Ruo planned to take him out for KFC, so she informed Doctor Wen and then carried him off.
After ordering some child-friendly food, she found a quiet corner to sit down. She noticed that Kangkang was only interested in two things.
One was toys and the other was food.
Give him a toy and he could play by himself for the entire day, without crying or fussing, so well-behaved it was incredible. When food was placed in front of him, he would actively grab it and put it into his mouth without needing to be reminded.
His world wasn’t empty; at the very least, he had toys and he had food.
An Ruo took a fry, dipped it in some sweet ketchup, and fed it to him.
He naturally wouldn’t answer her, but she didn’t mind — she enjoyed talking to him.
An Ruo fed him a few more fries and then let him grasp them to eat on his own. The fries she had fed him were all dipped in ketchup, but the ones he grabbed himself did not have any, so they tasted different.
Kangkang bit into several fries, each time only taking one bite and then tossing the rest away.
An Ruo watched in confusion: "Kangkang, what’s the matter?"
He bit into a few more, still just taking one bite before discarding them.
Why did they taste different?
The little guy furrowed his brow and suddenly became angry. He struggled forcefully, his arms waving on the table, venting his desire to throw everything to the ground.
"Kangkang, what’s wrong?" An Ruo grabbed his hands, frowning in deep thought.
Was he angry? Why was he angry?
She looked at the fries on the floor; could it be that they were not tasty? But when she fed him, he had eaten the entire thing.
A light bulb went on in An Ruo’s head as she guessed the reason.
She took a fry, dipped it in ketchup in front of him, and then gave it to him to bite. This time the taste was right, and he reached out to snatch the fry from An Ruo’s hand.
Handing him the fry, she held his hand and dipped it in the ketchup: "This is ketchup, you have to dip a little before you eat, remember that, okay?"
She taught him this way several times, but he still didn’t know to dip it before eating, causing An Ruo to feel somewhat deflated.
