The little girl clenched tightly onto the large seashell with both her small hands, only flashing a smug smile at Xu Chaomu when she felt it was safe.
"I saw this one first," Xu Chaomu squatted in front of her and pretended to be fierce.
The little girl shook her head vigorously: "No, no, it was Niuniu who saw it first!"
The little girl was fair and chubby, with a round face that was particularly adorable. She had many little braids on her head, each tied with a differently colored hairband.
Barefoot, Niuniu wore a pink poofy dress and squatted in front of Xu Chaomu, not showing any weakness.
"Sister likes this, can you give it to sister, please?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because Niuniu likes this too!" The little girl guarded it tightly, afraid that Xu Chaomu would snatch it away.
"If you give it to me, I'll give you candy," Xu Chaomu coaxed her.
She squinted her eyes, showing patience she didn't know she had. If this were five years ago, she would have hated children.
