"We're at home, not outside. Who are you trying to act all ladylike for? I'm not you, I'm younger." Jiangg Yao explained defensively, rubbing her bottom from where she sat in a W-shaped kneeling position, a pose straight out of an anime.
"I'm only five minutes older than you."
"I know, but you're still the older sister! Ahh—" Jiangg Yao shamelessly opened her mouth wide, waiting for Jiangg Ning to feed her. "Mmm, yummy!"
Looking at her younger sister, who was hugging a large dinosaur pillow with a blissful expression, Jiangg Ning was so exasperated she had to laugh. She smiled helplessly and fed her a few more spoonfuls, like she was feeding a pet, before picking up her own bowl.
She ate in small, delicate bites.
For a moment, there was silence. Jiangg Ning was hesitating. Several times, she worked up the courage to speak.
But when the words reached her throat, she looked at her sister and found she couldn't get them out.
