After（9）

The two children were tired and hungry so the principal specially prepared healthy kids meal for them. 

Little Rice Cake and Little Red Bean sat beside each other as they ate the food.

Xu Jiamu sat opposite them, staring with a warm expression.

Little Rice Cake started to eat by himself six months ago, so right now he was quite skilled with the spoon. Little Red Bean, though, clenched onto the spoon and every time the rice would spill out, even the vegetables falling over. She must have been starving, for in the end she put down the spoon to use her hands.

Xu Jiamu hurriedly stopped her. He grabbed her spoon and started to feed her.

Little Red Bean widened her dark eyes, staring up at him before opening her mouth to eat the spoonful of food. As she chewed, she smiled at him brightly. 

The moment she smiled at him, his heart started to ache and a hard to explain impulse to pamper her seeped into his heart. He stared at her in a daze.
