"This looks delicious. Thanks."
"Hehe."
As expected of Lian, even though Duzy might look intimidating at first glance, she showed no fear at all and smiled happily as he patted her head.
Since he had known her since before she was born, Duzy seemed to regard her almost like a grandchild.
"We caught a lot when we went out the other day. I thought dried fish would go well with alcohol, so we brought some."
"Thanks. I am looking forward to tonight."
They had also brought some food along, so when Qiong Xing invited them to eat together, Duzy happily led them inside.
"Um, Lian? Are you sure you do not want to sit with Qiong Xing?"
"I want to stay here!"
"Sorry. If you do not mind, please just let her stay like that."
They had just sat down to eat, but for some reason, Lian climbed onto Naz's lap instead of Qiong Xing's, making him smile wryly.
She had really grown attached.
