Seeing Ke Xing's somewhat forlorn figure, Ke Lian and Du Xixi exchanged a glance, feeling a bit guilty. Ke Xing had brought the big fat insect to Du Xixi with good intentions, hoping to cheer her up, without any malice.
Ke Lian put his arm around Du Xixi, and the young couple, with a tacit understanding, walked towards Ke Xing. Comforting someone, of course, was up to Du Xixi, given Ke Lian's nature. If he didn't provoke someone until they exploded, it was already great; asking him to comfort Ke Xing? It would probably just make Ke Xing even angrier!
Du Xixi's temper was gentle, and she had her way of comforting people. She went to Ke Xing's side and, instead of directly comforting him, started another topic, "Dad, I'm planning to make some small wontons for lunch today. Would you and Ah Lan like to help me?"
