Shui Xian tried to imagine the little Raelle listening to the story of 'The Little Prince.' Even with a small brain, she must have carried around a serious and expressionless face while trying to ponder over the meaning of the story. And his own imagination ended up making him chuckle.

"What happened?" asked Raelle when she noticed the way he was chuckling by her side.

"Nothing," said Shui Xian. "I suddenly understand why Yanyan read that story to you."

"Oh?" Raelle looked at him straight as she asked, "And why is that?"

He gazed at her with gentle eyes as he quoted, "'[My rose] filled me with her fragrance, she had brought joy to my life. I should never leave her. I should have recognized what a sensitive sweet soul there was under all her silly games.'"

With Raelle's impeccable memory, it wasn't difficult for her to recall that these words were from 'The Little Prince.' But at the moment, she was curious why her husband would quote it to her.
