"Y-yes, that is right! Lian, would a different color ribbon be okay?"
"A different one?"
Lian tilted his head, then rummaged through his pocket and pulled out several ribbons.
"These?"
"..."
Pink.
It had somehow gotten worse.
Out of all the options, why that one?
Qiong Xing fell silent, while Rohen looked apologetic.
"...Let us stick with red after all."
Realizing there was no escape, Qiong Xing gave up.
Lian smiled brightly and held out the red ribbon, and Qiong Xing gently patted his head.
"...By the way, I just realized, why does this child call you Mama?"
Ah, he had forgotten to explain.
The shock of the ribbon had been so great that no one had questioned it until now.
"I gave birth to this child."
"What?"
Qiong Xing said it so casually that not only Rohen, who had asked, but also Sergei and Narka, who had been listening nearby, were stunned.
If it had been someone else saying it, Qiong Xing would likely have reacted the same way.
