With his heart still in turmoil, Qiu Er arrived on the grass lawn, where Ake was sitting, his little tail, the silent Qiu Sanmei, stood by his side. Without exchanging a single word, Ake would often come up with some trinket to make his sister smile—sometimes it was cheap snacks that a young girl wouldn't normally touch, other times it was a small animal woven from grass, always providing the girl with surprises in one form or another.
"Ake."
At Xingxing's call, both heads turned at once. Realizing this, Sanmei's cheeks mysteriously reddened, and she hurried to move aside, furtively playing with her fingers, refusing to look up.
Although he was fond of the young girl, it was his sister's call that was paramount to Ake; he stood up from the ground and quickly walked over to Xingxing, looking at her questioningly.
After taking Ake a little distance away, Xingxing pulled out her phone, opened Qiu Tianzhi's profile picture, and pointed to his face, "Can you find him?"
Ake nodded.
