In the secluded courtyard, Hong Yu was at a loss for words as he watched Yun Mengyao. With a salted duck egg in one hand and a small bowl in the other, she was gobbling down her food, looking anything but ladylike.
"Slow down. Look at you, you're a messy little kitten."
Hong Yu took a handkerchief and wiped the grains of rice from the corner of her mouth, chiding with a smile.
Yun Mengyao stuck out her tongue playfully, her starry eyes crinkling as she giggled. "But that's what Big Brother is for, to wipe my mouth for me!"
Ever since Hong Yu had once made her salted duck eggs with plain congee, the little girl had fallen in love with the seemingly ordinary combination. To her, as long as Hong Yu was the one who made them, salted duck eggs and congee were more tempting than the finest delicacies in the world!
"You... you always act like you'll never grow up."
Hong Yu shook his head helplessly.
Yet, his words held no reproach, only doting affection and love.
