"Where's Chi Yi?"
He asked Aunty Lin.
"Missy said that she already had her dinner with her classmate. She won't be having her dinner with us."
The man mulled over her words with a frown. However, he did not say anything more.
Late at night, Chi Yi felt her tummy growling helplessly. Finally, she could bear it no longer and thinking that her uncle should be asleep by now, she tiptoed her way out of her bedroom and sneaked to the ground level.
To be on the safe side, she decided not to switch on the lights for fear of waking up the man on the upper level. Slowly, she crept to the kitchen in the dark.
Luckily for her, the refrigerator was stocked with all kinds of food. She buried her head inside, and aided by the dim light inside the fridge, she grabbed and stuffed the toast into her mouth with one hand, while gulping down the milk that she held with the other. It was such a carefree way to enjoy her food!
