Su Bing walked over, handing the milk bottle to Su Le. Su Le, with a cheerful tilt of her head, began to drink, paying no mind to the people around her. She was oblivious to the cold glance hrt brother, Su Bing, shot at Gao Ming. This coldness, however, was less of cruelty and more of helplessness. "Watch my sister for a moment," he instructed, "I'll be back once I finish these dumplings."
Su Bing moved to Gu Zi's side, devouring the dumplings with gusto. He was eager to finish eating so he could get back to his duties, a display of his sense of responsibility.
Gu Zi had found the earlier interaction between Gao Ming and the child amusing, but now she felt a pang of sympathy for Su Bing. He was eating so quickly, not for his own enjoyment, but to help her watch over Su Le.
Gu Zi took two dumplings from her own bowl and offered them to Su Bing. Meeting his puzzled gaze, she said, "Have a couple more."
