But things weren't really better the next day either. Or the day after. Or the day after again.
Ruru consoled Lihua with his teddy bear.
Don't feel sad.
His adorable expression melted her heart, and she tightly hugged him. "Aiya. My Ruru is really cute. Hehe, I won't be sad so soon. I won't give up!"
Then one day as Lihua had set up her camp like always, a young girl slowly approached her. She wore glasses and was quite on the healthier side. She wore a high school uniform. Her school was two minutes walk away from the park.
"Umm…"
Lihua beamed. "Hello!"
The girl coughed. She fidgeted with her fingers. "I have been…watching you for a few days. You seem to want people around you but…"
So in short, the girl only approached her out of pity because nobody else was. After watching Lihua patiently waiting for people to talk to them but not getting so, she couldn't help but meet her just once.
"What do you want to do?"
She patted the space in front of her. "Sit, sit!"
