"How did it break? Then I'll carry you back."
Qiao Chutian set her down on a chair and then squatted in front of her.
Mai Xiaomai winked mischievously at her family, stuck out her tongue, and then climbed onto his back.
Qiao Chutian hefted her up, "Dad, Mom, Duoduo, Xiaomai and I are heading back first, come over to our place when you have time."
"Alright, alright."
Mai's mother smiled and nodded, secretly pinching her own daughter to indicate that she was really too naughty.
Mai Xiaomai grimaced.
She was extremely attached to Qiao Chutian's back.
