Once Mi Rong returned inside the room, Qing Qing who had been waiting, joyfully called out, "Rong jie, you're back!"
"Hmm." However, contrary to Xiao Qing's bright smile, Mi Rong only slightly smiled back.
Qing Qing had a bad feeling creeping up her spine, she knew that Rong jie must be moody about something and this time it must have involved her papa as well. She didn't like seeing Rong jie gloomy as it seemed quite scary for her, but nevertheless, she gathered all the courage she had and softly asked, "Rong jie, what's wrong?"
"Qing Qing, I..I have something I must tell you." Mi Rong was, in fact, hesitating about telling Qing Qing that she would be leaving tomorrow for she didn't want to hurt the little girl's feelings, but she'd still have to. Sigh.
"Jie, you can tell me." When Qing Qing called out 'jie'; her voice was still audible, but her last few words were so quiet that Mi Rong nearly couldn't perceive what Qing Qing had said if it weren't for her good hearing.
