Chengcheng sat on the steps, still holding his cheeks, a bit helpless. He always thought that their mom and dad should be very affectionate, but now, somehow, he just felt... He couldn't come up with the word "estranged," but in his eyes, that's the idea he had—they were too distant.
"Dummy, of course, I know they're watching TV. I mean, how come they're being so well-behaved? How long has it been since you've seen Mom and Dad kiss?"
Huanhuan, anxious, spoke while sitting over as well, glancing downstairs while asking her brother.
Chengcheng blinked, Mom and Dad kissing? Oh, right! It's been a really long time since they've seen that!
"Sigh! How did Dad become so out of shape? He used to always hold Mom and want to kiss and hug and lift her up high."
Huanhuan sighed again, brimming with longing, like life was void of meaning, her little lips pouting, looking cute and mischievous.
