Xixi's words put Rick in a position where he did not know how to respond…
Xixi sounded frustrated but she looked very lamentable. Under the winter sky, the four stood there silently.
Xixi was still in her pajamas so Huo Mian said, "Xixi, I'm going to get you a coat," because she was afraid that Xixi would catch a cold.
Xixi, however, shook her head and said, "It's okay, Sister Mian. I'm not cold. But can I ask you and President Qin a favor?"
Huo Mian and Qin Chu looked at each other and nodded.
"What is it, Xixi?"
"Can you let us talk in private for a bit?"
Huo Mian and Qin Chu immediately realized that they were not needed in this situation.
Qin Chu cuddled Huo Mian on the shoulder and they walked back into the house.
"It's cold outside, Rick. Why don't you and Xixi come in and chat?" Huo Mian asked as she did not want the two to be stuck outside on such a cold winter night.
