Xu Hu Zhe, who usually held himself with restraint, seemed to be enjoying the pastries quite a bit. His usual sharp gaze softened as he tried one pastry after another, carefully selecting from the neatly arranged assortment in front of him.
Golden, flaky pastries filled with lotus seed paste, crisp sesame-studded twists drizzled with honey, soft steamed buns with delicate swirls of red bean filling—each one was beautifully crafted, their surfaces glossy under the tea house's warm lighting.
Between bites, he carefully balanced feeding the big treasure his bottle of milk.
The milk pitcher had been placed on the low table with small bowls and spoons for feeding, but the adults clearly had no patience for such methods. The baby bag—practically a staple of their household now—had already been prepared with bottles.
It wasn't just for Da Long and Xiao Long anymore.
