“…” Xia Feng closed his mouth when he realized that he had no idea how to answer her. However, still stubbornly refusing to back down, he asked Xiaotu another question. “Then tell me, what exactly are you interested in?”

“I’m interested in Brother Orange Juice.” Xiaotu pulled at Cheng Zhiyan’s hand as she replied to Xia Feng with a bright smile.

“…”

Good-bye.

Xia Feng picked up his backpack with one hand, and, with his other hand in his pocket, he turned around and slowly walked out of the school.

The autumn wind suddenly blew up, catching some swirling leaves from the courtyard in front of the school. They added a bleak vibe to the picture of his retreating figure.

Xiaotu felt a little confused. Why had Brother Wind left without saying anything to them?

“Brother Orange Juice, what’s the matter with Brother Wind? Why did he just suddenly leave? Isn’t he going to go to your house to play with us today?”

“Not today. He has to clean up at home.” Cheng Zhiyan made up a random excuse, then he placed Xiaotu on the back of his bike, and rode away in the direction of his house.

…

A few days later, in the middle of the night, Cheng Zhiyan, who had been fast asleep, suddenly felt something moist and soft rubbing against his lips. Then there was a painful sensation that quickly followed. He immediately was wide awake.

The moonlight and the streetlights outside the window illuminated the bedroom. Thus Cheng Zhiyan was able to see what had attacked him. Xiaotu’s huge eyes were gleaming in the dark as she hovered over him. He reached out to touch his lips and asked with a frown, “What the heck are you doing?”

His fingers felt wet, and there also seemed to have been bites on his lips as well…?

Xiaotu smacked her lips and said to Cheng Zhiyan in a matter-of-fact voice, “I just wanted to see if your mouth tasted good or not.”

“…”

Cheng Zhiyan really had no idea what to say. He used his hand to prop himself up in bed, then he felt for the light switch and turned on the bedroom lights with a click.

Wearing her pink bunny pajamas, Xiaotu was kneeling on the bed staring at him with an innocent expression on her face.

“Why are you trying to eat my mouth?” Cheng Zhiyan’s pale fingers touched the small cuts around his mouth as he asked Xiaotu this question in a somewhat helpless way.

“Since you wouldn’t answer my questions, I had to search for the answers myself.” Xiaotu batted her eyes at him as she said in a babyish voice, “You wouldn’t tell me what sex was, why people ate other people’s mouths when they kissed, or how children were born. I still don’t know the answers to the first question and the last question, but, as for the middle question, I can try it out for myself.”

“…”

Cheng Zhiyan felt completely and utterly flummoxed. “Well, what conclusions have you reached?”

“Your mouth is actually quite delicious.” Xiaotu flashed a dazzling smile at Cheng Zhiyan, and she had a blissful expression on her face.

“…”

“Soft.”

“…”

“Slippery.”

“…”

“Can I eat it one more time?” Xiaotu asked as she lunged toward Cheng Zhiyan.

Cheng Zhiyan quickly rolled off the bed, as he answered Xiaotu with a frightened expression on his face. “No, I will not let you bite me.”

“Don’t we need to bite things in order to eat them?” Xiaotu asked in bewilderment.

“Kissing doesn’t mean eating the other person’s mouth!” Cheng Zhiyan used a pillow as a shield to protect himself from Xiaotu’s continuing attacks.

“Then what is a kiss?”

“…”

Cheng Zhiyan looked at her absolutely hopelessly as he lamented to himself about how obstinately stubborn this little rascal was.

“If I answer this question, you have to promise me that you’ll never ask those other two questions ever again.”

“All right, I promise.” Xiaotu nodded.

“Then close your eyes.”
