After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family stayed up late to welcome the new year, but Ye Wanwan grew drowsy as she sat, her little head dipping uncontrollably until it finally bumped onto Shen Yi's shoulder, jolting her awake.
Looking at the sleepy-eyed Ye Wanwan, Shen Yi spoke softly, "Go to sleep."
"No, it's not time yet," Ye Wanwan muttered indistinctly.
"It's okay," Shen Yi glanced at the time; it was already eleven o'clock. Usually, at this time, she would have already been resting.
"No, I'll just sit a little longer," Ye Wanwan insisted, determined to wait until midnight.
Shen Yi, helpless, thought of distracting her attention, "Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"
Ye Wanwan hadn't been hungry initially, but having heard Shen Yi's suggestion, she couldn't help wanting to snack on something.
Shen Yi smiled, "What would you like to eat?"
"Hmm," Ye Wanwan sat up straight, deeply pondering the question. It took her a while to reply, "Can we have snail noodle soup?"
