Chapter 146

Chapter 146

When the two little girls first sat together, they were unfamiliar with each other, so their interactions were polite and reserved.

Yvonne was grateful that Rachel had let her sit there. After thinking for a moment, she opened her backpack, pulled out a handful of beautifully shaped candies, and offered them to Rachel.

These were a gift from her master, very precious to her–she only ate three a day, and there were still more than thirty left.

Since it was her first day at school, she brought them all, wanting to share with the other kids in the claw.

However, since the others didn’t seem to like her, she decided not to share them with anyone except Rachel

Yvonne carefully placed all the candies on Rachel’s desk, then gently pushed them toward her.

She also took out some other snacks from her bag and stacked them into a small pile on the table.

Rachel was both surprised and touched, watching her. She felt that the scene of Yvonne pulling out so many snacks resembled her pet hamster gathering food in its cheeks.

“Thank you,” Rachel said sincerely. “You’re so cute.”

Yvonne shyly pressed her lips together. When she was around unfamiliar people, her expression remained composed, but the pink tint on her face betrayed the excitement she felt inside.

“You… you’re cute, too.”

Because Rachel had likened her to her hamster, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and warmth. She quickly rummaged through her own backpack with her small hands, looking for some treats to share with Yvonne.

But Yvonne was distracted by the design on Rachel’s bag.

She pointed at it and said in a soft voice, “Cat.”

Rachel placed the chocolate on the table and adjusted her bag to show it to Yvonne, correcting her, “This is a tiger, Yvonne. You got it wrong.”
