A Faint Sweetness

Su Bing patted his brother gently and reminded him, "Why are you crying? Look inside."

On the low table in the living room, there were peanut candy, letter biscuits, crispy candy, and other snacks, which looked very tempting.

Su Li's tears continued to flow, and he blurted out, "She didn't run away. She just took her sister-"

Su Bing facepalmed, realizing that Su Li wasn't using his brain.

But before he could intervene, he heard babbling sounds and saw Gu Zi coming down the stairs, carrying Su Le.

Su Li held back his words about trading his sister for snacks.

Su Bing shook his head and picked up his school bag to start on his homework.

Gu Zi, noticing Su Li's worn-out school bag, remembered something. She called out to him, "Wait here."

She placed Su Le in front of Su Bing and said, "Take care of your sister for now."
