Nudging Parker with her elbow, with food in her mouth, Bai Qingqing said in a muffled tone, "Help me peel an orange."
Only then did Parker snap out of his trance. He quickly picked up the orange on the table, and only thought to ask after he finished peeling it. "Did Winston find you this?"
"Mm." Bai Qingqing nodded. "Although it tastes awful, my appetite improves after eating it. I must eat more for An'an's sake."
There was a hint of bitterness in Bai Qingqing's smile. Her chopstick-wielding hand halted, and she said with a sigh, "Help me squeeze it into orange juice."
Standing behind her, Parker hugged her with one arm and patted her reassuringly. "Okay."
The atmosphere suddenly turned a little gloomy. Parker quietly held Bai Qingqing in his arms while she ate in silence.
Howl~
Hungry for more, the leopard cubs pestered their mommy for more food. This act easily eased the oppressive atmosphere among them.
