Xiao Muli princess-carried Situ Xin and, with an indulgently doting smile, leaned in close to Situ Xin's ear and said, "Baby, are you sure you can walk home by yourself?"
"Hmph," Situ Xin thought about how her legs had felt weak when she tried to stand just moments ago. She could only respond with a huff but still obediently wrapped her arms around Xiao Muli's neck. Reminded by his comment, she envisioned herself shuffling slowly along, and decided she'd rather have Xiao Muli carry her – though it was quite conspicuous, it was still better than her awkward attempts at walking.
Seeing that Situ Xin had stopped struggling, Xiao Muli's face broke into a satisfied smile. In high spirits, he stole a kiss from Situ Xin, then contently carried her in his arms and said, "Let's go."
