Was she being blamed for not getting him a fried dough stick too?
While pondering, Anning pursed her lips and explained, "Oh, I remembered you don't like to eat this kind of fried food."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and prepared to continue eating the rice ball in her hand.
"You remembered wrong."
Chicheng stood up, reached out, and swiftly snatched the rice ball from Anning's hand.
By the time Anning looked over, he had already bitten off half of her rice ball. She frowned and protested, "If you wanted some, I could have given it to you. Why did you have to snatch it?"
She was startled.
Chicheng's mouth was stuffed full, and as he chewed, he looked at her and said, "If I don't snatch, I'll never get any."
After he finished, he glanced at Anning with slightly raised eyelids. Although it was a very faint glance, it achieved its purpose. Anning caught the deeper meaning behind his use of the word "eat," and her face flushed red.
