When Brother Xiong came in, he saw Lingxiao sleeping slumped beside the bed, still holding the red-robed man's hand. He gently set down the washbasin, picked Lingxiao up, and carried her to another room. Returning to the red-robed man, he washed him clean and changed him into a set of his own everyday clothes. The man had a slender build, and wearing these loose, coarse cloth garments, he actually gave off an unadorned, rustic charm—what an enchanting creature!
"Little fairy, you're fast asleep, but you'll likely be hungry when you wake up. I'm off to make you some wontons." Brother Xiong chuckled to himself; he was turning into an old mother hen the moment he met this little fairy, yet he relished every bit of it!
Lingxiao woke up again, lured by the fragrant aroma of the wontons. She got up with a bright smile, carried the bowl of wontons to Brother Xiong's room, and heard the two of them talking before she even drew close.
