"It's nice." Rainy licked at the cone, and she offered it to Xia Ruoxin. "Mommy, have some."
Xia Ruoxin pretended with a look of dislike. "That is very sweet. Rainy likes it, but Mommy doesn't."
Rainy slanted her head curiously, and then she continued to lick the cone. It was so yummy; adults were so weird.
Xia Ruoxin held her daughter tight as they stood outside a shopping mall. Rainy was constantly peeping at the incredibly beautiful doll behind the display window. It really looked pretty with long eyelashes and a mini-skirt.
She had not had one yet.
She bit her lip and lowered her head. She really, really wanted it.
"Rainy, tell Mommy. Do you really like that doll?" Xia Ruoxin pointed at the doll in the display window as she asked her daughter, who had a look of yearning on her face.
Her eyes had not left the doll since the beginning.
