While Jin Liwei was still trying hard to comprehend why his baby girl became mad at him so suddenly, Iris' mood once again changed halfway through their journey home. It was as if her fierce anger from earlier had never happened in the first place.
She returned to sticking close to him, grabbing his arm and placing it around her, making herself comfortable, and then snuggling as she resumed sniffing his scent. The only difference now was that she was no longer naughty, touching him everywhere and making both of them aroused. On the contrary, she was acting very docile, like a cat who just wanted a cuddle and a gentle petting session.
Jin Liwei, of course, gave in to her silent demand and started cuddling and "petting" her. However, he still felt wary of her mood, expecting it to change again at any given moment. He sat very still and stayed quiet, afraid that any other actions would trigger her and again leave him helpless and confused out of his wits.
