The very next day, Jackie showed up and made a beeline for Rowan's room. He smuggled the box of snacks that he had been entrusted with saying, "These are from your Jie. Enjoy!" He ruffled his fluffy hair.
Rowan slapped his hand away, "JJ, stop doing that. You always mess up my hair. I spent so much time pressing them down."
Jackie chuckled at him, "I'm going now."
"Already?"
"I have to see my Jie since I'm already here," replied Jackie and walked out of the room.
He found Xiu in the garden trimming the flowers as she continued to talk in her recorder. Although Jackie was being too quiet so as not to disturb her, she still noticed his presence. Placing the pruning scissor down, she took off the gloves and stopped recording. Looking at him, she asked, "So, what did you sneak in?"
Jackie pressed his lips together, "Sister Xiu, my darling sister. Do you think I'm a moonshiner?"
