When Xin saw that she was about to fall, he immediately grabbed her little legs and said, "Behave . "
"Big brother Xin, you are so rough . You should be gentle towards women . " Little Lan said like a learned person .
"I don't see one . All I can see is a kid . " Xin said . It was the first time he was talking this much with someone else .
"How rude! Just wait and see, I'll become the most beautiful girl in the world and you will have to ask me for my hand in marriage . " The child said proudly .
Xin burst into laughter . For the first time in his life, he laughed loudly . Tears formed in his eyes and his belly hurt .
After minutes of an excessive laugh, he said, "Fine, you win . "
They walked few minutes, just then, the child's stomach growled . Her stomach was just behind Xin's head . Startled, Xin stopped on the track .
"Big brother . . . …" The little girl started to talk pitifully .
"I know . Let's go and have something to eat first . " Xin took her to a nice and comfortable restaurant .
Xin gave little Lan the menu . "What do you want to eat?"
"Egg drop soup, vegetable chow mein and orange juice . " The child ordered .
Xin lifted his right eyebrow . "Are you sure you can eat all those things?"
The little girl showed him a proud expression . She replied, "Don't worry, big brother Xin, I have a stomach of an elephant . Not to mention that I wasn't able to eat anything in the morning . More importantly, I hate wasting food . "
"Why didn't you eat anything in the morning?" Xin asked . 'She must be hungry for a long time . ' He thought
'I can't tell big brother Xin that I was locked in the storeroom last night and I escaped in the morning . ' Little Lan thought .
"I wasn't hungry . " The girl lied .
Xin didn't believe her . But he also didn't want to pry into other's business . He just met her . He didn't even know her well . He could tell that the little girl was smart . He could also understand that she was not a street girl . Her upbringing was good and she was well taken care of .
"Does your family like you?" Xin asked .
"Yes, my parents love me a lot . " When the little girl said that, her cheeks became red and her eyes were full of warmth .
"And they still left you alone in the middle of the mountain . " Xin said . He did believe her expression, but he had a hard time believing that someone would be heartless enough to leave their child alone .
"Oh, you don't understand . I'm traveling and got lost . " The girl said .
Xin choked on water . "And who gave you the permission?" He wasn't sure whether to believe her or not .
"My parents always say that if I want to learn about the world and I want to become stronger, I need to visit places and shouldn't burden others . That's why I planned on visiting alone . " The little girl said .
Xin's head started hurting after talking to her . He didn't want to know about her family . He thought that her family was crazy enough to think that .
He changed the subject and said, "This restaurant is famous for ice creams and cakes . Why didn't you order any dessert?"
Xin believed that kids, especially girls, liked ice creams and cakes .
"Those things don't have carbohydrate, protein, iodine, and vitamins . Though they are certainly delicious, I have to preserve energy for my upcoming adventure . "
This girl . . . …
Xin didn't ask her anything anymore . He didn't want to hear whatever she had in her mind . However, her personality was striking .
As they began to eat, little Lan asked, "Why are you traveling here? You don't seem like a guy who is looking for adventure . "
Xin was busy eating dim sum . Without even looking at her, he replied, "Then what did it seem to you?"
"To me, earlier you looked like that it was the end of the earth for you . Now you don't look like that anymore . Your eyes are twinkling . It seems that you are enjoying . " Little Lan stated .
This time, Xin choked on his food . 'Who is she? She isn't a robot or a superficial human, is she? Maybe she is a small agent?'
Xin hurriedly finished his food and said, "Kid, go home . "
