Inside the stone house.
Qiao Lie sat quietly on the wooden bed.
Hearing a noise, he glanced back at Qiao Xixi.
But he quickly turned away again.
Qiao Xixi walked up behind him and asked softly, "Qiao Lie, what's wrong? Did you not like the stir-fried meat with red-red fruit?"
The corners of Qiao Lie's eyes were taut, and his legs had transformed into a snake's body, coiled tightly.
"Why did you only feed them? You didn't feed me!"
Qiao Lie suddenly spun around, the corners of his eyes red.
Qiao Xixi froze.
'I can't believe he's angry about this,' she thought.
She took out the red-red fruits in her hand and said in a low voice, "Of course, it's because Mother wanted to save the biggest one for you."
She picked out the largest one and held it to Qiao Lie's lips.
"Here, try it. It's delicious."
Qiao Lie stared at the red-red fruit, which was indeed bigger, and froze. Even his tense body relaxed.
"Hmph. I wasn't angry because you didn't feed me a red-red fruit."
