The boy noticed they were using the sa spoon and his eyes flickered twice, his ears slowly turning red, and the forceful tone in his voice weakened, "Just one bite, so stingy..."
The girl, protective as if guarding her own calf, dodged to the side with her ice cream, "There are only so many bites in an ice cream, sharing one with you is already generous, don’t be too greedy."
"You—" the boy glared at her and said, "Forget it, I’m not talking to you anymore."
He sulked and continued eating his portion of ice cream, falling silent.
"Dude, co on, you’re so petty. You get mad just because I didn’t share my ice cream?"
The girl moved closer again, poking his arm, but received no response.
The girl didn’t understand the boy’s silence, but Wen Qiao certainly did. She rested her chin on her hand, smiling while watching the two across from her, "Little sister, your boyfriend isn’t ignoring you just because of the ice cream."
The girl blinked confusedly, "Then why?"
Wen Qiao glanced at the boy, who looked tense watching her, and spoke enigmatically, "You’ll understand later."
"Can’t I understand now?"
Changing the subject, the boy said, "So, uh, Song Qi asked what you want for your birthday gift, he’s going to buy it now."
"A birthday gift requires prior thought, does he even care?"
"Is today your birthday?" Wen Qiao asked.
"Yeah," the girl nodded, "my eighteenth birthday."
"Eighteen, that’s nice." Wen Qiao pulled out a small bag from the shopping bags piled next to her and pushed it toward the girl, "I just bought this lipstick, it’s still unopened. See if you like it."
"Ah?" Confused for a mont, the girl hurriedly pushed it back, "No, no, that’s too valuable."
"It’s not valuable. Take it, eting is fate, and it’s your eighteenth birthday to boot, we are ant to cross paths." Wen Qiao pushed the bag back to her, "A small gesture from , accept it. Don’t let this chance slip by, happy eighteenth birthday."
With things put that way, the girl no longer hesitated and accepted the lipstick, "Thank you, big sister."
The boy finished his call, saw the girl accepting the gift, and also thanked Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao waved her hand, "No need to thank , I really like you guys."
The girl giggled twice.
The boy looked at her, "Let’s go, we should head back to school."
The girl glanced at the ti and jumped up from her chair to grab her backpack; the boy jostled it, "I’ve got it."
"Oh, right." The girl looked at Wen Qiao, "Big sister, we’re leaving now."
"Bye-bye." Wen Qiao waved her hand, "Take good care of each other, don’t forget what you have because you envy what others possess."
The girl paused, then nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you, big sister."
The boy held the girl’s hand, carrying the backpack in his other hand, and they walked side by side toward the exit.
Wen Qiao watched their retreating figures, feeling suddenly very reflective.
A cold touch on her face startled her, and she turned her head, Fu Jinghen had sat down beside her, "What are you so engrossed in?"
Wen Qiao took the ice cream from him and pointed outside, "Do you think they’ll stay together forever?"
Fu Jinghen followed her pointing, the two were descending the escalator facing them. The girl looked up and said sothing to the boy, unaware of soone passing behind them. The boy quickly noticed and moved her aside to protect her.
