"Stay," Qian Baoshun said with a beaming smile, "Mom, make some food for elder sister. I'll go out for a bit and come back soon..." Then he turned and ran off.
A sliver of warmth flickered through Qian Xiaoyun's despairing heart. Flesh and blood relatives, they couldn't be that heartless, could they?
Qian Lishi strictly followed her son's commands. Since her son had said to make food for the girl, she complied, even adding an egg to the meal.
"Come, let's eat together," Qian Xiaoyun said as she saw her sister's longing gaze and shared half of the egg with her.
"What's there for her to eat?" Qian Lishi objected, "A mere girl, if your brother says you eat, you eat, if not, leave it for your brother..."
Qian Xiaoyun frowned.
"Elder sister, you eat, I'm not hungry," Qian Xiaomei quickly shook her head. Since she was little, the elder sister had taken care of her. If the elder sister could have an egg, that made her happy.
