"What are you two chatting about?" Ning Xixi came over holding Xiaoxi's hand and asked curiously.
"Nothing much." Ji Yebai changed the topic, "Shouldn't the Spring Festival Gala be starting by now?"
Ning Xixi nodded, "Almost, ah... it's starting!"
The whole family gathered around the TV, listening to the host start the show.
The heater was turned up to the max, making the home cozy; the coffee table was filled with food and drinks; the kids were running around the room.
It was noisy yet exceptionally warm.
The sound of firecrackers outside occasionally rang out, crackling; dumplings were boiling in the kitchen, releasing the fragrance of pastries.
Everyone was eating dumplings and watching the gala; Xiaoxi especially loved dumplings, having finished her own bowl, she stared longingly at Xiaobai's bowl.
"Brother, are you full?"
Xiaobai replied crisply, "Not yet!"
Xiaoxi pouted, disappointedly poking her own bowl with a spoon.
