The helpers brought down their luggage.
Yin Shaojie walked up to take the luggage and gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao. “Xiaoxiao, we should get going.”
“Xiaoxiao…” Annie hugged Xiaoxiao, reluctant to release her.
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed and patted her back. “Silly girl, you’ll see me in a few days. Oh yeah, say hi to your grandma for me when you see her. I hope I’ll have the chance to meet her next time.”
“Yeah.” Annie nodded before letting her go half-heartedly.
“Alright, I’ll be going,” Mu Xiaoxiao said. She walked to Yin Shaojie and he took her hand.
After saying their goodbyes, they left.
It was midnight, and even though they were in an international metropolis, there were no crowds and noise at night. It was quiet, as though the whole city were asleep.
Occasionally they would see another car on the road.
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against Yin Shaojie’s chest. She looked outside the window at the night sky, daydreaming.
“Are you hungry?” Yin Shaojie caressed her forehead and looked at her dazed face. She looked lazy.
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to shake her head, but she then felt a little hungry and nodded.
“There probably aren’t any stores open at this hour, but there should be a 24-hour convenience store around. I’ll get the driver to stop and get you some food if I see one, okay?” Yin Shaojie looped an arm around her tiny waist and kissed her cheek.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “There’s no need. Let’s look for food at the airport.”
Yin Shaojie said, “Lie on me and sleep if you’re tired. I’ll call you up when we arrive.”
“Okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and closed her eyes. She snuggled into his embrace, trying to find a comfortable position.
After about an hour, they finally arrived at the airport.
Originally, they wanted to order something after going to the VIP lounge.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao saw a noodle store and wanted to eat there.
After finding a place to sit, Yin Shaojie told her to stay put before he went to order food.
Mu Xiaoxiao was bored and was about to play with her phone before she heard the pitiful cries of a child nearby.
“What do I do?” A little girl was squatting on the floor, her teary eyes staring at something on the ground.
It seemed that she had dropped her lollipop.
Because the wrapper had already been opened, she couldn’t pick it back up to eat it.
There was a little boy standing in front of the little girl. He didn’t know what to do as he watched her cry and tried to pull her up as he comforted her.
“Get up first. I’ll give you my lollipop.”
The little boy pulled the little girl up and stuffed the lollipop he had into her hands.
The little girl looked down at the lollipop in her hands and stopped crying. Her gaze clearly showed that she really wanted the lollipop, but she hesitated a little and said to the boy, “You won’t have one if you give it to me.”
“It’s okay. I don’t like lollipops.” Afraid that she would reject him, the little boy took the lollipop away suddenly, peeled the wrapped off, and stuffed it into her mouth.
“How is it? Is it good? Mine’s blueberry flavored,” the little boy smiled as he asked.
“Mine was strawberry-flavored!” The little girl was grinning widely. Kids were so easily satisfied and could become happy only after a short while.
“Let’s go back to uncle. They’re probably going to finish eating soon. We’ll be boarding the plane once they’re done.”
