"Leander."
"…Yes."
After he made him to sit properly on his knees, Leander looked up as Qiong Xing stood in front of him.
It's scary.
What's wrong with him?
"I don't want to say this either. I'm sure there are many things you've had to endure. But Lian is a child and you are an adult."
"…Yes."
"And yet, why would you do something so childish as taking Lian's snack?"
It wasn't on purpose!
It really wasn't!
If he had to explain, Leander hadn't intentionally taken Lian's snack.
"I thought she was done with it! You were reading a book with her, weren't you?!"
That was right, Qiong Xing and Lian had stopped eating midway and started reading a picture book.
Leander assumed that Lian had gotten bored and left it unfinished, so he ate it.
At that exact moment, Lian saw it and burst into tears, while Qiong Xing who hadn't been looking nearly fell off his chair in surprise.
"I thought it'd be fine if she wasn't going to eat it anymore… I'm sorry."
