“Hungry? Rainy?” Xia Ruoxin’s fingers ran across her daughter’s face. She had lost quite a bit of weight. Her baby had not been eating today, and her condition seemed to have worsened.
Rainy nodded her head gently, and then she leaned her head on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder. “Mommy, I want to have cake.” Her soft voice sounded weak. If it wasn’t for Xia Ruoxin, she would not utter a word for the entire day. She was getting thinner, and she did not like to talk as much as she used to.
“Okay. I will buy you a cake. Your birthday is approaching soon.” Xia Ruoxin held her daughter tighter and continued walking. There should be a high-end restaurant up ahead. She might not have much money. However, each year, on her daughter’s birthday, she would get the little girl a cake from this restaurant. It was Rainy’s favorite.
“Mommy, you’re wrong.” Rainy counted her fingers. “Mommy, I counted many fingers before it is my birthday.” She frowned as she had a good memory, and she just had a cake recently. Her mother said it would be her birthday, but it was supposed to be once a year. Why was it her birthday so soon?
“I’m getting you an advanced birthday cake.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s face. The girl was shrewd.
“Thank you, Mommy.” Rainy hugged Xia Ruoxin’s neck with both hands. Her eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.
She opened the door to the restaurant. Business was especially good today. She looked around and found a table by the window.
“Miss, this way please.” The well-mannered waiter stretched his hand out and welcomed them. Xia Ruoxin and Rainy walked to the place where they were selling the cakes. They chose a cake and went to sit down at the table. Otherwise, they would have to eat while standing.
Rainy looked around with curiosity on her face. It was crowded in here with all the white walls. She stretched her hands above her eyes to shield them.
It was very bright, and there were a lot of lights. She liked it here, but it was too crowded. She leaned shyly against her mother. When she realized there were many people secretly looking at her, she blushed and told her mother. Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, and her little red lips were pouting. With the doll in her arms, her small face looked extremely adorable.
Naturally, everyone was complimenting the child in Xia Ruoxin’s arms. She simply looked too beautiful.
Soon, pieces of cakes started appearing before them. The cakes here were made to order. Besides being able to eat the freshest cakes, their customers were also treated to the most wonderful performance. So obviously, the cakes here became the restaurant’s most famous specialty.
“There you go. This is for you.” A young man placed a slice of cake in front of Rainy. It might have been a small slice, but he had made it with all his heart.
“Thank you, Uncle.” An extremely courteous voice accompanied by features as beautiful as a flower. The man gave her an extra piece of strawberry. The little girl looked very pretty with her red lips and white teeth. She was born well.
“Your daughter is very adorable,” he told Xia Ruoxin with a smile. She was not just adorable but very courteous too. That kind of child was very likable.
