The troop leader resentfully glanced at Che Huan, her eyes red as she discontentedly nibbled on Che Huan's finger.
Che Huan looked apologetically at the troop leader and gently stroked its head.
The troop leader sulkily glanced in Huo Jinnan's direction.
Huo Jinnan, holding a cigarette in hand, watched the troop leader. Thinking back to the recent "darling", the color of his eyes became even more dark and obscure, like something taken out of a cold storage.
The troop leader shrank its neck, shivering a bit as the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped all of a sudden.
It looked innocently at Che Huan, about to burrow into her arms in search of warmth, when suddenly it heard a knock on the door and stared towards the doorway with wide eyes.
Che Huan walked over to open the door and saw Che Zhiqiang. She wanted to call out "Dad," but thinking of his silence over the past few days, she found she couldn't utter the word.
