The little one's big eyes, like dark grapes, looked up at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi felt a bit ashamed for her earlier impoliteness and squatted down, saying to the little one, "Sorry, auntie didn't mean to laugh at you, but I'm worried that it's so cold outside, you'll catch a cold sleeping here."
Upon hearing this, the hostility in the little boy's eyes diminished somewhat.
Ye Xi also took out a tissue from her bag and reached out to wipe the drool from the corner of the little boy's mouth.
The little boy was initially resistant.
But he quickly gave in.
His large round eyes watched the woman who was wiping his mouth.
Ye Xi asked, "Why don't you go inside to sleep?"
The little boy crisply replied, "My dad said I should come outside to cool off."
Cool off? Ye Xi was puzzled, how could such a small child, who didn't understand things yet, need to 'cool off' outside in such cold weather?
